Colonial Secretary, Hon.Dr.T.N.C.Tewater; Attorney-General, Hon.Sir Thomas Upington; Commissioner of Public Works, Hon.Sir James Siver wright; Secretary of Agriculture, Hon.Sir P.H.Faure.\u2018Woman Guilty of Manslaughter.Victoria, Oct.12.\u2014After a trial lasting a week, Belle Adams, a white woman, accused of murdering her mulatto paramour, Chas.Kincaid, was last night found j guilty of manslaughter with a strong re- | commendation to mercy.Intense excite | ment was occasioned by the trial, and tin their eagerness to get into the court \u2018room when the jury were announced to have arrived at a verdict, the crowd \" burst house.carrying them off the hinges and smashing the glass panels.The jury was out nearly six hours.teeter Ontario Election Trials Toronto, Oct.12.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The trial of the North and South Grey election petitions has been postponed indefinitely.The North Grey trial was originally fixed for to-day at Owen Sound.The North and South Perth trials take place af Stratford to-morrow, and on Saturday twenty-two protests will be heard at Os- goode Hall.The proceedings will merely formal and are not lik - sume much, time.°ly to con \u2014_\u2014 Drowned While Duck Shooting, Waunbaushene, Ont., Oct.12.\u2014(Special \u2014W.H.Barber, a promising pare to of this village was drowned off Lorg Point.Barber and a companion, Fred + is by official direction taking possession Money paid to the | in the front doors of the court- be | | Hart, had been out duck ehooting, and ! Louis Bertrand Pleads Guilty to Endeavoring to Smash a $7,500 Machine for a Cigar\u2014Says Dissatisfied Employes Bribed Him.There was trouble at La Patrie yesterday afternoon, and in consequence the mails missed the trains and the paper was one hour later in its appearance on the street.The cause of file trouble seems to have been the appointment of a new press foreman.Several of the pressmen did not like the newcomer and looked upon him more or less as an intruder.The management of La Patrie had been forced to make certain changes in the staff on account of the conduct of a few af ehe leaders whica had necessitated their dismissal.The discontentment remained latent, at first, however, and only amohg the leaders was there any talk of doing anything to the detriment of the newcomer\u2019s prestige.A number of them got together ana promised a reward to a man named Louis Bertrand if he would so derange the $7,50C press that the papers would.be apoiled for a day\u2019s issue.Bertrand accordingly unscrewed fifty of the bolts and opened four ink reservoirs in the big Goss press on which La Patre is printed, with the result that when 1.started several parts of it were damaged | or broken, and thereby delayed the pub- ligytion for over an hour.; Even when the paper was published, 1t ! was blotted and dirty.Mr.L.J.Tarte investigated the occurrence and had Lows Bertrand arrested

who was a good swimmer, made for a rock about 150 yards distant.The effort, however, was too much for him, and he sank while only a few feet from shore.His body was found this morning in about five feet of water.PHILIPPINE QUESTION.It Was Discussed Incidentally at the Peace Commission Yesterday.Paris, Oct.12.\u2014The sitting yesterday of the joint peace commissions of the Umted States and Spain were devoted, according to the Gaulois, to an examination oË the solution which it is possible to give to two questions in the protocol.The Philippine question, the Gaulois adds was discussed incidentally, the United States commissioners seeking to impose a system of compensation for claims connected with the entire group by assuming the debt, provided Spain guaranteed the Cuban debt.The Spaniards, it further appears, wish the United States to assume the Cuban debt, and to hand over to Spain all the war material in Cuba and Porto Rico.The question, according to the Gaulois, was very animated.Judge Day, the president of the American commission, and Senor Montero Rios, the president of the Spanish commission have received precise instructions from their respective governments.The Americans consider that they cannot discuss the principles forming the base of the protocol, which the Spaniards reply that the protocol was s.gned at a critical moment and under so pressing a necessity that it cannot be considered as expressing the sovereign will of a free nation.; Madrid, Oct.12.\u2014The rumors which have been published here as to the attitude of the United States peace commissioners are described as having caused a painful impression, especially the reported decision of the American Commissioners not to recognize the Cuban and Porto Rican debts.New York, Oct.12\u2014A copyrighted despatch to the New York Journal and Advertiser from Rome says: \u201cThe Spanish ambassador informs the New York Journal representative that Spain will demand the intervention of the great Powers if the United States insists on the annexation of the entire Philippines.\u201d STRIKERS RESUME WORK.The Indications Are that the Labor Trouble Will Not Last Much Longer.Paris, Oct.12.\u2014The committee of railroad men, it was announced to-day, turns out to be equally divided for and against taking part in the strike.This practical disagreement has dissatisfied the strikers, many of whom are now disposed to resume work.A number of building works were re-opened this morning.\u2018 \u2018Three thousand of the strikers resumed work yesterday.There is much discontent over the indifference of the leaders toward the strikers.The former do not furnish strike pay to the men, but only give them soup tickets.The troops are less in evidence on the streets to-day, although 23000 of them are still under arms, expressly to protect the men willing to work.Jot Guilty of Arson.Orangeville, Ont., Oct.12.\u2014(Special.) \u2014 At the assizes yesterday, before Hon.Mr.Justice Robertson, the trial was conelud- ed of Peter Marshall, charged with setting fire to the barn of David Ballard, in Melanothon \u2018township.His Lordship ruled that the case must go to the jury, and the result was that the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.Guide Drowned in Green Lake.Deux Rivieres, Ont, Oct.12.\u2014(Special.) \u2014Mr.Scudder, of New.York, and a guide named Jake Loriston, of Saranac Lake, N.Y., while out hunting on Green Lake, about thirty miles north of here, were overtaken by a storm.Their canoe capsized, and the guide attempted to swim ashore, but was drowned.Mr, Scudder clung to the canoe, and was drifted ashore after struggling in the water for several ours.- Tobacco Factory for Windsor.Windsor, Ont, Oct.12

here, for the purpose of selecting a candidate to oppose the Reform nominee, Hon.J.M.Gibson.About 200 representative men from different parts of the riding were present, and this, in spite of a steady downpour of rain, which, no doubt, prevented several hundred more from attending.Dr.Coughlin, of Arthur township, was unanimously nominated.Death of Mrs.Romaine.Ottawa, Oct.12\u2014The death took place on Monday evening, somewhat suddenly, of Mrs.Romaine, widow of the late Robert Romaine, &ne time publisher of the Peterborough Review, and later head of the Government Stationery Department, at

the New Piers Was Awarded to the W.H.Kelly Co.REPORT ON DRY DOCK SITES, c\u2014 The Harbor Board met yesterday, Mr.John Torrance being the only absentee.There was an important and lively discus- gion on the evidence which had been adduced in the Glenarm Head case.When Mr.Robert Mackay, as chairman, read the report of the Pilot Committee, Mr.D.G.Thomson called attention to the evidence, which had been so conuicting as to make it necessary to discharge the pilot.Mr.Bou: cher, who had charge of the buoys for the contractor, had sworn that the buoy in question had never been moved.Mr.Cowie, assistant engineer of the channel for the Department of Public Works, swore that the buoy was twenty-five feet on the bank and that it had been moved back to its position.\u201cHere are two departments of the Government,\u201d continued Mr.Thomson, \u201cdirectly opposed to one another.\u201d Mr.Allan: \u201cMr.Bousher is not a Gov: ernment employe.\u201d Mr.Thomson: the contractors, who are responsible to the Marine Department.It is a serious matter when the two parties responsible foi the channel and the buoys are at conflict.This shows the evil of having the two works separated.They should be under the same department.\u201d The Mayor: \u201cMr.Thomson is certainly right in saying it is a serious matter.Why were Lhe men employed on the tugs and dredge noi cailed to prove who was right \u2014Mr.Boucher or Mr.Cowie?\u201d Mr.Bickerdike: \u201cIt would mot be possible to find out that way, for Mr.Cowie says he saw a tug drawing the buoy in position.It is mot a ditticult thing to move the anchors.| buoy and it can be moved in any direction.\u201d The Mayor: buoys?\u201d ; ; Mr.Bickerdike: \u201cAnyone with a tug.It is said that outside parties moved the buoy.\u201d ; The Mayor: \u201cWhat is the use of the buoys if anyone can move them at pleasure.I think the Pilot Committee should have gone farther in the investigation.lt is too important a matter to pass over lightly.\u201d The Chairman: \u201cWell, that can be done et.\u201d > 1'ne Mayor: \u201cThis difficulty arose from dual responsibility in regard to the chan- nei.\u2018Lhe Department of Public Works kept the channel in order and decided on ihe locations of the buoys.The buoys were then put down by the Marine Department.lhe two works were nsep- arable and should be under one department, There would always be uncertainty and danger till they were.\u201d ; Mr.Thomson: \u201cNow is the time to ask for this change, when we have such a clear case of mismanagement due to tne dual responsibility.Let us make the most of this, and endeavor to get the Government to make the change.The Mayor\u2014 \u2018Who looks after the buoys for the Marine Department?\u201d Mr.Lemay\u2014\u201cCol.Anderson.\u201d Mr.Thomson\u2014*In Ottawa.\u201d Mr.Bickerdike\u2014\u201cA good place to look after the buoys.\u201d The Mayor\u2014\u201cI don\u2019t want to press a re- golution to-day, but the matter is a very serious one, and such occurrences as \u201cCan anyone move the all know how anxious Sir John Fisher is to bring the Renown to Montreal next year.I had a letter from him a day or so ago, and he speaks of the great danger from boulders in the channel, and the danger of navigation.I simply tell this to show that it is necessary to take measures to create confidense in the channel.\u201d ; Mr.Bickerdike\u2014\u201cWhy not have copies of the evidence sent to the Public Works Department and to the Marine Department?\u201d The Mayor\u2014\u201cThat is a good idea.Send a copy to the Minister of Trade and Commerce also \u201d\u2019 The commissioners were all in favor of the suggestion, and the secretary was instructed to forward the copies.The Mayor then took up the buoying ; question again.He said it was a peculiar thing that the Government giving the contract last year should have taken it out of the Harbor Commissioners\u2019 hands just to save a couple of thousand dollars.The Board would have the confidence of the shipping people.But there should be only one master in regard to the channel.He would introduce a resolution later, looking to this end.The discussion ended there.Mr.Mackay reported that in secordanee with instructions given at last meeting, the late tenders for the dry dock site had been opened.One likely property was found, and Mr.Kennedy was testing it.From Hon.Mr.Tarte.Hon.Mr.Tarte wrote to say that he saw that the Board was to communicate with the Department in regard to the dry dock \u201cHe is responsible to Fasten a tug to the site.He did not wish to interfere in any way.If Mr.Coste could be of any use in the matter he could go to Montreal for a consultation.Mr.Coste will accordingly be in Montreal to-day to discuss the question of material in regard to the dry dock.Timber for 1899.The contract for timber for the year 1899, in connection with the new piers, was awarded to the lowest tenderers, the W.H.Kelly Lumber Co, of Buckingham, P.Q., for $54,000.The total of the next lowes offers for each class of lumber was $64,400.Mr.Kennedy presented his monthly re- vort of the work done in the harbor.He also announced that he would be able to report om the boring in the dry dock sites at next Tuesday\u2019s meeting.PHARMACY EXAMS.Out of Twenty-four Candidates at La s Week's Trials Only Six

St.Vincent de Paul de Montreal, with Onezime Max tineau defendant in warranty.The action was dismissed, \u2018but the parish priest and churchwardens were condemned to pay the costs of the proceedings in wap ranty.Mrs.Vandal claimed $5,000, alleging that, while leaving the church one evening, she had fallen and injured her self severely, having tripped over some pieces of wood carelessly left about

May 20, 1506, and was buried there.His remains were afterwards transferred to the Car- thusian Monastery of Las Cuevas, Seville.In 1536 they were removed to San Domingo and interred in the cathedral there.The re cords of the cathedral were destroyed by fire in 1575.In 1795 San Domingo was ceded to France, and the remains of Columbus or of some other person buried there were transferred with great pomp and ceremony to the cathedral at at Havana.Nobody is able to affirm that these were the remains of Columbus, but they answered every purpose of national pride and gratitude.Now they are to be sent back to Spain, but nobody knows now any better than before whether they are the real relics of Columbus or not.Yet they will answer the purposes of national feeling just as well now as they did

Suffers Loss and Makes a Serious Charge.The fow! house, shed, workshop and stable belonging to Mr.W.T.Hart, of Outremont, were completely destroyed, and one end of his residence on St.Jean Buptiste avenue, Outremont, badly damaged by fire about three o\u2019clock this morning.When his son left at half-past twelve o\u2019clock last night to come to his work in town everything was all right, and both he and the members were all sound asleep, and the result would undoubtedly have been more serious, with possibly a loss of life, had he not been awakened by his next door neighbor, Mr.Edward Egloff, who, after shouting to him for some time, succeeded in making him aware that his premises were on fire.Hastily getting out of bed, his family, assisted 4 y f A 4 * by the neighbors, immediately** set to fight the flames and remove the furniture from the house, and managed to save the house, although one end was badly burned, but all the other buildings were completely destroyed.The fowl house contained one hundred fowls, and only about & dozen escaped.Mr.Hart estimates his loss at $800.Mr.Hart declares that the fire was the work of incendiaries, as the place was saturated with some kind of inflammable stuff, and he found several black bottles lying around this morning.He also states that he has been more or less directly threatened with serious consequences on account of his connection with the troubles which have existed in Outremont for some time, and he believes this to be the direct outcome of them.HIGHER THAN MOUNT ST, ELIAS Seattle, Wash., Oct.11.\u2014The C.H.Eld- ridge geological survey party, which has just returned from Cook\u2019s Inlet country, is declared to have discovered the highest mountain in North America.The peak, which towers far above Mount St.Elias, is situated in Alaska, to the right of the Sushitna River.The Government topographer took triangulations of the =leva- tions, ascertaining by scientific calculations the exact height of the peak, which he declares to be more than 20,000 feet.LONDON WILL SEE A TROLLEY.London, Oct.12.\u2014The Highways Committee of the London County Council has recommended granting permission for the Érst overhead trolley system in London.The United Tramways Company asked | permission to try the experiment on one mile of track along the Uxbridge road, in the western end of the town, promising to discontinue it if it proves unsuccessful or unsuitable.It is probable, therefore, that London will soon see a trolley.LAY ON A BURNING BED., À fire that came within an ace of being

Killed.Huntsville, Ala., Oct.12.\u2014The 10th Cavalry, colored, arrived from Montauk yesterday, and had mot been off the train an hour before some of its members became involved in a difficulty with the provost guard.One man was killed and five wounded, two fatally.Soon after the men left the train one of the cavalrymen went to a house frequented by white men and attempted to clean out the place.He was arrested by a corporal\u2019s detail of four men of the provost guard.The arrest was quickly noised about, and the negro cavalrymen attempted to rescue the prisoner.The first man who advanced toward the guard was halted, and as he turned to run was fired upon.Firing then became almost gereral and continued several minutes, Corporal McNaughton, Company I, 6th Infantry, commanding the detail, was killed at the first fire.Private E.Wiles, Company M, 6th Infantry, was shot in the knee, and Private Larkin, Company L, 6th Infantry, received a ball in the leg.Private James Cleston, troop M, 10th OCavalry, received a bullet in the spine and will die.Two other 10th Cav- alrvmen were wounded, one of them fatally.The affair would have been attended by more serious consequences had not a mounted platoon from the 10th Cavalry scattered the.belligerent negroes with drawn sabres.The white so'diers here entertain a very bitter feeling against the negro troops, and it is feared

\u2014\u2014 2 THE HERALD, MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1898.THEY FAVOR THE CABINET SYSTEM, The Real Estate Owners\u2019 Association Declare for a Civic Executive Committee.A LETTER TO THE MAYOR In Which They Give Support to the Motion Ald.McBride Will Introduce.2er OTHER QUESTIONS DEALT WITH.aly The following letter has been addressed by the Real Estate Owners\u2019 Association to the Mayor and aldermen :\u2014 To the Worshipful Mayor and the Aldermen of the city of Montreal : Gentlemen,\u2014The undersigned, in the name of the Real Estate Owners\u2019 Association, have the honor of presenting you with the following suggestions, with re- gand.to the modifications which your Council appear determined to effect in the charter that at present governs ithe city o: Montreal.; At the time of the municipal elections of 1897, the entire Council was elected to aCiinister the affaire of the city, according to the charter at present in force, and not to elabarate a new constitution, which, like those of previous years, and especially that of 1889, would be subject to the uncertainties and inconveniences growing out of its very newness.The proprietors of real estate book upon this ennual re-hash of civic regulations with epprehension, as they disconcert all calculations, and oblige them every year to present themselves before \u2018the Legæature in order to defend their rights.It seems that the charter of 1889 and ite amend- Tents, joined wo the laws for the government of municipalities as found in the Revised Statutes of the Province of Quebec, contain sufficient legislative provisions to govern Montreal at least until the population decide to have recourse to a ve- sponsible exccutive to manage the civic aliins, Nevertheless, if your Council persiet in its project of endowing Montreal with a new code of laws, the undersigned have the honor of drawing your attention to the following points, viz.: IMirst, composition of the Council; secomd, method of determining the value of real estate; third, division of taxes.S SH © © 66000900 © & An Executive the First Necessity.@® lst\u2014A municipal council is a body © elected with the object of administer- © ing the affairs of a municipality.@& When a city has assumed certain pro- © portions, and has of necessity been @ divided mito a considerable number of ® wards, the deliberations of the Coun- ® cil become complicated, owing to the © multiplicity of interests represented ¢ by aldermen from different wards.& The sessions are necessarily numer- © ous, and it is only with great diffi- \u20ac culty that the decisions necessary to © proper administration can be eecur- ® © H6H6HO6S HG TO > cd.Therefore, it seems to us that out City Council has become a deliberative body, and lacks an execu- © tive.The labor of administration ® falls upon committees composed of al- ® dermen representing different sec- © tions of the city.In their turn, > these committee bacome deliberative bodies.This system involves an \u2018enormous amount of work, which has to be gone over again when the reports of \u2018the said committees are sent to the Council, where they give rise to new debates before obtaining the necessary sanction.Practical ly, these committees are responsible only to their constituents.\u2018The employes of the Council become the employes of the committees, t5 whom alone they are amenable.From this @ results an anomaly which opens the & door to various prregularities, a com- @ mittee often exceeding its powenrs, or neglecting its duties, having nothing more to fear than wan \u2018intenpellation before the Council by some member of a committee often as culpable as their own.À respomaible executive would cause these irregularties to disappear, and would ermplify to a ® great extent the work of the alder- © men.© © = 668995 > PS OS © < © PEPPVLPPROPOPVODPOCOOPDPR OOO e Oey 9656099 $ & © TOPSHHSCH © © © © © 0HHHHHHD© Our Assessment System.The assessment of property,

objection in a small municipality, where each property is well known by all.It is, so to speak, the popular verdict which fixes the value; besides, fearing to commit en error, or an injustice to anyone, this same method values the properties at one-half only, or at most two-thirds of their real value.Our system is, therefore, no longer what it originally wus.Being administered by two assessors per ward, appointed not by the ward, but by the Council, it has lost its of a popular jury.IB offers mo guarantee of exactitude whatever, reposing as it does on the unique base of the arbitrary judgment of two men, often strangers to the district they operate in.The municipal assessment 1s the foundation of the administration, and should offer all possible guarantees of its exactitude.To arrive at this goal, it seems to us that the simplest way would be to establish, as in the case of the water tax, a rule before which the partial man would be powerless.In most European countries, and even in some parts of America, the value of real estate is computed on the ordinary revenue derived therefrom.Revenue is the base of civie assessment, and we can find no reason why it should not be adopted here.By taking the actual revenue as the basis of valuation, vacant lands would escape, in most cases, all taxation.In large cities this kind of property is the exception, and the method now in force could still be applied to it.In making a radical change, as above suggested, care would have to he taken to establish a rate which would divide the tax equally rather than to increase the amount ac tually received.Division of the Tax.If, on the other hand, the valuation of property hme been arbitrary, it is\u2019 evident that the same stata of things exists as regards the division of the tax.By a series of circumstances, we have arrived at taxing, besides the properfes, sometimes one industry, sometimes another, according to our necessities.With the development of the city came the turn of commerce and the liberal professions.Briefly, taxes have been imposed wherever it has been easy to collect them without incensing tlhe mass of the population.But, apparently, it has never seriously occupied our taxgatherers to attempt seriously to find a mode of dividing the burden in an equitable manner for all, such as would be a tax on capital, as well as a tax on real estate.A tax based on actual revenue would reach all classes of properties and all classes of citizens, and would justify the theory that everyone should be taxed according to his means.If an interview with the Charter Committee was accorded us, it would enable us to develop the foregoing propositions, and to express our views on the several points of the charter which concern more particularly the proprietors of real es tat e.Finally we take the liberty of reminding your Couneil that, on several occasions, the members of the Legislature expressed their wish that, if possible, thé proprietors should meet with the City Couneil in order to arrive at an amicable arrangement before presenting to Parliament bills for legislation concerning the city of Montreal, and this especially as regards the proprietors of real estate.We have the honor to remain, gentle men, Your humble servants, J.G.Laviolette, L.C., Pres.R.E.O.A,, W.Desmond Patterson, Secretarv.Secretary\u2019s Office, 43 St.Sacrament St, Montreal, 6th Oct., 1898.FRENCH EVANGELIZATION Rev.Dr.Amaron Says that Quebec Is Backward and that the Church Is Responsible for It.Rev.Dr.Amaron delivered an illustrated lecture last might at St.John\u2019s French Presbyterian Church.The subject chosen was \u201cFrench Evangelization,\u201d which the speaker declared was of the utmost importance, in view of its influence, direct and indirect.Fremch evangelizatiom.continued the speaker, was indeed a God-in- spired work.It wae weil known that the -» | infant colony was entrusted to the spiritual welfare of the Church of Rome.Protestant interests were excluded: the Huguenots were not permitted to immi- erate.Nevertheless, some did come, ind fcunded a colony at L\u2019Acodie, only to be sent back by the authorities.In comparison with New England, which was founded a century later, French Canada showed a great want of prosperity and thrift.Some \u2018might say the conquest was unjustifiable, but he believed, if anything, they waited too long for the martial and moral emancipation.At that time, tthe speaker asserted, nimety per cent.of the people were grossly euper- slitious, and ignorance brooded over the land.Gredually the Gospel and tœutiT hed been preached, so that at present beneficial results were in daily evidence.During years past people had left this Province by the thousand, amd they did not go to Catholic Spain or Ireland, but to the land of the Puritans and Pilgrims, which country had lately shown what an abject humiliation it could inflict in War upon a decrepid Catholic state.In some quarters there had been a cry raised against proselytism, but all should remember that many French-Canadians no longer believed the doctrine of Rome, and if we did not go to them preaching truth amd the Gospel, they would fall into infidelity.Attention was then drawn to the vote on the plebiscite, and Quebac\u2019s overwhelming majority against it, which, in the opinion of the speaker, was owing to the retrograde influence of Romanism and their aversion tc great moral reforms.Protestantism alone could accomplish this.' Some views were then thrown upon a curtain in front, which were mainly jl- lvstrative of the subject under discussion.The remarks made were more in the mature of an introduction than a lecture.UNCLE SAM IS FIRM.Spain Will Have Nothing to Do with the Administraiim of Affairs in Cuba After December 1s*.Madrid, Oct.12.\u2014The Spanish Government announces its intention to maintain a strong force of troops in Cuba until the treaty of peace with the United States is definitely signed.Immediately after peace is signed, the Cortes will be convened and measures dealing with the re-organization of all the state departinents will be submitted to Parliament.Washington, ,D.C., Oct.12.\u2014When the attention of the officals of the War Department was called yesterday to the statement made in Madrid that a strong force of Spanish troops would be kept in Cuba until the treaty of peace had been signed, it was promptly stated that there had been and would be no change in the orders of the United States troops, and that the instructions given to the American military commission in Havana to take possession of the island on December 1, irrespective of the presence or absence cf the Spanish officials, would be rigorously adhered to.The Spanish troops may stay in Cuba for a time after that date if evacuation is mot complete, bet they will be no longer the masters of the island.and United States officials will adininister all of its affairs.\u2014 a Light Without Sunshine.It is quite a general impression that Tuxfer Prisms require sunlight on them in der that they av light up premises as lesired.This is a mistaken idea, as prisms ©.ost appreciated when the weather is TO KEEP OUT THE COLD CHANGEABLE WEATHER Throws the human machinery out of gear and renders it more susceptible to prevalent ailments.After a \u2018\u201c muggy\u201d period the first cold day \u2018strikes home,\u201d unless the system is well fortified by strengthening, stimulative nourishment, of which the most per- BOVRIL.BOVRIL.LIMITED.fect form 1s 30 Farringdon St., London, England.25 and 27 St Peter St,, Montreal, Canada.Return this advertisement to us with 2-cent stamp and we will send you WHONHART'S GREAT WAR PUZZLE.We are offering $100 for the solution of this puzzle.\u2014H.BOVRIL, Limited.LE le W Ww CCCCCECCECTECECECEEECETS N m l sue purposes.F You Want Pure Goods, Buy Which is the Purest and ost Healthful Cocoa in the World.Gowan's Royal Navy Chocolate in Which is the very best for all household R 4 f \\ \\ Cowan's Famous Blend Coffee Mn \u2018Which is incomparably the best.yZE Age OCTOBER 14, 15 and 16.MONTREAL TO NEW $10.65 YORK AND RETURN Tickets good going October 14, 15 and 13, and valid to return leaving New York not later than October 24th, 1898.IMPROVED TRAIN SERVICE between MONTREAL AND OTTAWA.Three Fast Express Trains Daily, except Sunday, at popular hours.leave Ottawa 8.00 a.m., 3.30 p.m.and 6.4 p,m.On Sundays, leave Montreal 4.55 p.m.and Ottawa 8.00 ,a.m.- For tickets, reservation of space in Sleepars and all information, apply to Company's agents.CITY TICKET OFFICES \u2014 137 St.James Street, and Bonawenture Station.Intercolonial FR ailway OF CANADA.On and after MONDAY, OCTOBER 3rd, the trains will depart from and arrive at the Union Station (Bonaventure), Montreal, as follows : MARITIME EXPRESS Saturday excepted.Monday excepted.Dep.7.05p.m .Montreal .4.20p.m.Arr.Arr.8.15p.m.St.Hyacinthe .3.10p.m.* \u201c 9.08p.m.Drummondville .2.15p.m.\u201c\u2018 \u201c 12.15a.m.Levis .10.55a.m.** \u201c 4.05a.m.Riviere du Loup 7.15a.m.** ¢ 10.15a.m.Campbellton .1.10a.m.** \u201c 3.40p.m.Moncton .\u2026.7.35p.m.Arr.\u201c T.25p.m.\u2026.St.John .4.30p.m.Dep.\u201c 7.50p.m.Truro .3.20p.m.Arr.\u2018\u201c 9.55p.m.Halifax .1.30p.m.Dep.LOCAL EXPRESS Sunday excepted.Sunday excepted.Dep.7.40a.m.Montreal .10.20p.m.Arr.Arr.8.55a.m.St.Hyacinthe .9.07p.m.* \u201c 10.05a.m.Drummondville.8.05p.m.* ¢\u201c 1.45p.m.Levis .4.20p.m.Arr.6.50p.m.Riviere du Loup 11.50a.m.Dep.CITY TICKET OFFICE, 143 ST.JAMES STREET.Shippers can obtain Freight Rates and other information by applying to JAS.HARDWELL, Division Freighi Agent.Room 113.Board of Trade, Moutreal \u2014_ _ Marriage Licenses Issued MONEY TO LEND BY ee i Accountant and JOHN M.M.DUFF, Commissioner.107 St.James Street And 315 Prince Arthur Street, National Horse Assirance ASSOCIATION.4 7 ST JOHN ST lectric Light.Âre you getting your discount on electric light bills yet?If not, call and get it.LACHINE RAPIDS Hydraulic & Land Co., Ltd., 38 Victoria Square.dull and the sun clouded.To those who do not understand the effect of prisms, the exhibit of the Luxfer Prism Co.at 1833 Notre Dame street- -which is thers simapiv for the use of the public\u2014will be of interest The method of selecting the.prism he suited to the situaiion, and the method of putting the prisms together\u2014eutirely new \u2014are equally interesting.ASK YOUR GROCER FOR THESE GOODs.\u2018à 523233323333=3333232;

has not the hardihood to oppose outright the introduction of the cabinet system into Montreal civic administration.lt finds itself obliged to admit that the system is a good one.But neither can the Star see its way to support the proposition introduced by Ald.McBride.As a happy medium between praising and blaming, between support and condemnation, between @& frank yea and a frank nay, it administers a savage blow below the belt.The introduction of the cabinet system, according to the Star, is to mean that party politics will be carried into the affairs of the City Hall.In fact, the portentous discovery is made that this sort of thing bas been going on for a long time, and to prove it, lists are printed showing the political afliliations of the members.Oddly enough the aldermen are divided equally, but the Mayor being a Liberal there is a majority of one for the Liberal party, and behold\u2014we have been governed by the party system all along.This may constitute a fair sample of the Star's knowledge of municipal politics.No.other city journal that we know of could so complacently overlook the many facts opposed to the assumption that the Council now divides on party lines.Mayor Wilson-Smith was not exactly a Liberal, but he and the present Mayor always pulled together pretty well.Ald.Stevenson is not a Liberal, but he manages to retain his position as chairman of the Fire Committee year after year.Ex- Ald.Costiban is not a Liberal, yet he was all but supreme in the Water Committee for several years and had a goodly pay in the Fire Committee.Ald.Kinsella is not a Liberal, yet he is chairman of the Water Committee, and with a certain chivalry that is more creditable to his heart than his head stands between public opinion and an administration which looks as though it might advantageously be recast.Ald.Laporte is mot a Liberal, and yet he is confidently named as head of the Water Committee should a revision take place.Ald.Ekers is not a Liberal, but he was easily elected to represent the Council on the School Board.Mr.Arch- ambault, lately appointed joint City Attorney, is not a Liberal, nor is Hon.Mr.Atwater, who was at the same time made consulting attorney.It is true that the Ald.Rainville, Beausoleil and Martineau excellent positions in the Council, and that the \u201cgive and take\u201d system has done something for Ald.Brunet, Marsolais and Pren- oveau.All that, however, has nothing to do with the Star\u2019s theory of domination by one political party.Native ability is not der'ved from party, and the \u201cgive and take\u201d system is superior to party, to morals, to the needs of the city and to everything else except what a few aldermen imagine to be the urgent necessities of their individual cases.Moreover, if it comes to thdt, Ald.McBride, who has introduced the cabinet system to the mo- tice of the Charter Committee, is himself a Conservative, and so are Ald.Ames and Ald.Laporte, who both approve of the idea.gentlemen not to walk into a trap laid for them by the designing Liberals.The fact is that these aldermen are devising means to protect the city from abuses for which the Star shows a cynical indifference.They are not bothering their heads about the spectre of Liberal domination which alarms that ultra-par- tisan journal.They are interested, though the Star is not, in putting a stop to civie misgovernment.They want contracts to be let by tender instead of being given to a departmental favorite at his own price.They want horses to be bougi and kept by the city instead of being hired at exorbitant figures from civic employes.And when horses are so purchased they want it to be at the lowest pos- pible price, and not through an intermediary who has influence.They want coal te be at least ordered before twenty thousand dollars are paid for an unknown quantity.They want the police force to be rearuited without reference to whether applicants can hand over a couple of hundred dollars to some real or professed go- between.They want the roads kept clean, the streets paved, sidewalks laid, scav- erging properly done.And they want the responsibility for these and a multitude of such matters focussed upon four ar five persons, and not dispersed over twenty- six or seven, whose proceedings are so tangled that they cannot possibly be fol- lewed.The Star, of course, cares for none ot these things.The public is beginning to learn that the source of faulty administration is not with the aldermen altogether, that ihe \u201cplum tree\u201d cannot be shaken unless the heads of certain departments are willing, and that unhappily these gentlemen are too willing to do the shaking.What is wanted is a central and well-defined authority which will keep watch and ward over them all, remove them, if necessary, and with the approval of the Council appoint others in their stead.Of such a body the Mayor, the only representative of the whole city, is the natural head.It is absurd to argue that the members of the executive will be all Liberals or all Conservatives.If the aldermen want to divide om those lines the minority can always be sure of representation.But it is mot well they should so divide, the Star's suggestion to them to do so to ihe contrary notwithstanding.Liberals ana Conservatives are working together now to free the city of the load that resis upon it.They shoul! be encouraged to co- operable nied ol Loing reminded that they should be politicians first and last, whether or not the city euffers.I BEFORE THEIR CONSTITUENTS.Hon.Sydney Fisher and Hon.H.T.Duffy have been spending the past ten days in going from place to place in the County of Brome, rendering an account Of their stewardship.The practice is a good one and is in too many cases neglected.Possibly the member of Parliament is not always sure enough of his ground to invite \u201checkling.\u201d In this respect Mesers.Fisher and Duffy are this year at east particularly fortunate.\"There is nothing in the higtory of esther the Laurier or Marchand Governments which will not challenge the fullest investigation.What is even better, the burden of comment on both administrations has been highly favorable, so that the way is easy for the speakers, In his addrees at Sutton, the Hon.Mr.Fisher dealt with the only subject as to which the Opposition have any fault to find, the administration of the Yukon, and stated that although the Yukon is an expensive place to govern, careful management by the Government has not only meade it pay for itself, but has enabled the country to derive a considerable revenue from it.This is the best answer to those who complain of the policy of imposing a good-sized royalty.Despite the demand of Sir Charles Tupper and other Conservative leaders that the royalty be reduced to the merest trifle, the policy at first adoptea has been adhered to.Much to their surprise, Eastern taxpayers are not called upon to furnish the money for developing this new region as they did for such portions of the West as were opened up during twenty years past.As to the charges of corruption against officials, Mr.Fisher said that Mr.Ogilvie had gone with instructions to sift these charges of corrun- tion.Of course the ministry would be to blame if the civil servants had so far forgotten their duty as to accept bribes, but there is some satisfaction in knowing that the men who are doing the country\u2019s work up there are not fit subjects for the vilification that has been heaped upon them by the Conservative press.The latest report is that they sent a petition to Major Walsh demanding an investigation and threatening to resign in a body if it wcre not held, but as the Administration had no authority to conduct an examinaticn under oath, they had to put up with the abuse until Mr.Ogilvie\u2019s arrival.Hon.Mr.Duffy has in every way justified the confidence of his constituents.He was able to report the reduction in a single year from a deficit of $810,000 in the finances of the Province to one of $225,000, and that by the end of the present year it is expected the deficit will be wiped out altogether.A policy of economy had been inaugurated all along the line.In his own department, Mr.Duffy said, where \u2018arge payments were made, and where of late years there had been a constant stream of extravagance and corruption, he was endeavoring to inaugurate a new system, undertaking no work except such as was absolutely necessary, and then carrying it out with the strictest economy, and thus he had been able to bring about a large and important diminution in its expenditure.For instance: the Court House at Rimouski cost $32,000, and when it was destroyed by fire the Province received $17,500 as insurance.To-day a new building was finished with a three-storey addition, forty feet by fifty feet, and the whole thing only cost $15, 700, or $2,000 less than the insurance on the old structure.This is the kind of administration needed in Quebec, and it is instructive to notice that the opponents of the Government find nothing to criticise.A PLEA FOR MR.LAFOREST, La Patrie takes the members of the Water Committee to task for seeking to introduce economy and efficiency into the administration of the Water Department.Referring to the criticisms of Superintendent Laforest, by Ald.Laporte, Gagnon and Clearihue, for paying Mr.Failon $45 per week for the use of four horses, La Patrie voices Mr.Laforest\u2019s sentiments nicely when it says: \u201cStrange things are taking place in a certain civic committee which devotes most of its time to discuss attacks, more or sess serious, upon the head of its depariment.These little attacks almost invariably originate with employes who have been dismissed from the city\u2019s service for incapacity or bad conduct, or from employ- ment-seekers who have been disappointed mn their expectations.\u201cThere would be little harm done were it simply a question of the annoyance which these enquiries must cause the officer who is attacked, for, until now, he has come out honorably; but this pract ce, being continued, will spread to the other departments and may be the cause of vexation.The committees, transformed, so to speak, into boards of investigation, would occupy the greater portion of each sitting in discussing allegations, generally baseless, of malcontents of all sorts.Superintendents of departments, instead of devoting their time to their work, would be occupied in defending themselves.Lo avoid having to meet accusations, they might be induced to leave incapable men in good positions, and even leave work undone rather than displease their subordinates and expose themselves to namging at the hands of aldermen, who seek, by means of such humbug, to make a name for themselves and to be noticed in The Herald.21.\u201cWhat would become of discipline, and how would the interests of taxpayers be looked after, if common sense did not put an end to this epidemic of denunciations idle stories?i \u201crhe committees could not repose blind confidence in heads of departments; that\u2019s clear.But what has been going on for some \u2018time is of a nature to put aldermen on their guard against certain practical jokers who waste their time.This ridicu- {ous comedy has lasted long enough.It is time that it should finish.We assume that Mr.Laforest is at the hottom of this article\u2014that he is the object of our contemporary's immediate solicitude.The trouble may spread to the other department heads\u2014for our part we think it has already spread\u2014but this article is seemingly chiefly concerned with Mr.Laforest.Now what about Mr.Laforest ?Publie attention was first directed to the state of affairs, which has since been so fully revealed in the Water Department, by Teason of the actions of the water committee, and not of the superintenden?®.t was discovered in June of this year that $20,000 of the water committee\u2019s appropriation had been illegally\u2014Ald.Beau- soleil says fraudulently\u2014paid out by or- dev of last year\u2019s committee.Thousands of tons of coal had been illegally purchased last year and this means was taken to pay for them.Had the committee (no right to protest against this ?Were 2 1 they, as La Patrie would have them, to sit quietly in their places, uttering no protest against being deprived of $20,000 appropriated to their custody and use ?In July charges were formally laid against Mr.Laforest of having used material belonging to the city at his own residence and in the construction of water works for outside municipalities, and of having used the city\u2019s workmen in the same way.No investigation was held, but Mr.Laforest brought down Mr.Fallon, one of his subordinates, who said that everything was regular, that all the materials had been returned, and that in fact there was $200 to Mr.Laforest\u2019s credit, : Now comes the exposure, as yet only partial, of the horse deal.The committee were astonished to find that not one of the eighteen or twenty horses used by the department belonged to the city.Mr.Laforest was asked for an explanation.The best he could say was that he had made a contract with the same Mr.Tallon, who was so agreeable a witness in the former case, whereby the latter supplies four horses at 345 a week.horses he says nothing at all, and La Patrie would probably brand as another lie the statement which finds credence in City Hall circles that Mr.Laforest himself, perhaps in partnership with Mr.Fallon, is the owner of some or all the eighteen.I'he report may not be well founded, though the least to be said is that Mr.Laforest has done nothing to disprove it, but has by his silence given it credence.The aldermen who compose the committee are doing their duty, and doing it well.La Patrie thinks it is time the thing should finish.So perhaps does Mr.Laforest.But it is only beginning.THE NEW YUKON APPOINTMENTS It is evident that Mr, Ogilvie\u2019s projected investigation into the management of the Yukon has had nothing to do with the two new appointments to important offices which have recently been made.Mr.Fawcett has been relieved from the office of gold commissioner, and will return to the Department of the Interior at Ottawa, whence he was sent to organize the.gold office when the first news of the boom reached Ottawa.Mr.Fawcett was an accountant in the Inbtenior Department at that time, and was no doubt the best man at hand to inaugurate the system.He has been openly charged with the most disreputable practices in the discharge of his trust.Major Walsh's reports indicate that he is a badly abused man, and it can readily be believed that such is the truth.Where a dozen or a score of men are clamoring for one location and only one can get it, the other eleven or nineteeen, or some of them, are almost certain to impute wrong motives to the man who has to make the decision.It is true this only argues that such a man is beset by strong temptations.But the Canadian public are not going to believe that the men who have their country\u2019s honor and good name in their keeping will so lightly betray it, will not believe it, at least, until the charge has been well proven.Mr.Gordon Hunter, who succeeds Mr.Fawcett, is a lawyer of exceptional ability, and if, as has been said, the main reason for any failure Mr.Fawcett may have made was the fact that only a lawyer, and a good one at that, could fill the position, the new appointment ought to meet the case.° Mr.F.C.Wade, the other officer who has resigned, probably mever intended to stay longer in the Yukon than he has.He is well able to take care of himself, ond if the Star is really sincere in its anxiety to discredit the Yukon administration by having some of the membens of it \u201csent to trial,\u201d it might make a good beginning by trying conclusions wilh Mr.Wade.His successor, Mr.W.H.P.Clement, is an able man, a good lawyer, has contested West York for paærlia- mentary honors, and is the author of the texit book on Canadian history which won the prize given by the Ontario Government.SEPTEMBER'S SHOWING.The September statement of the revenues and expenditures of the Dominion showed a gain in revenue and decrease in expenditure, as well as in the public debt.The revenue gain for the month was $948,399, and the reduction in the expenditure $117,942; being a total betterment of $1,066,341.: The custom revenue maintained its steady gain, indicative of larger importa- \u2018tions and, from its continuance month after month, of larger consumption and larger sales.The customs collections for September totalled $2,030,501, as against $1,011,985 for the same month last year, being a gain of $118,515.There was a decrease of $814,784 in the public debt during the month.On capital account the outlay was $i,- 030,156, of which $515,600 was expended in the canal improvements and other public works, and $499,750 on railway subsidies.For the three months of the present fiscal year\u2014July, August and September\u2014 the total receipts were $11,441,899, as against $8,314,747 the year previous, being an increase of $3,127,152.NOTES AND COMMENTS.Keep party polities out of civic affairs.It looks as though Sir Charles and the Star, finding they cannot step into power at Ottawa by way of Quebec and Toronto, are now turning their attention to Montreal.Any port in a storm.Eureka ! The Star has discovered why it is that the city\u2019s affairs are mismanaged.It is because there are fourteen Liberals and only thirbeen Conservatives iu the Council.And nobody ever thought of it before.There has been a failure of the wheat crop in Prince Edward Tsland owing to severe rains which have practically destroyed the whole crop, and in Manitoba recent rains have also caused heavy losses, The grain can still be\u2018 used for feeding live stock, but there is not much profit left to the farmer.The outcome of the contest for the presidency of the Club National, which will be decided on Friday evening, will be watched with interest by Liberals of aj classes.and creeds.for the past twenty Mr.Charles Marcil has bean years Of the other | a loyal and gallant fighter in the Libergl ranks, his devotion \u2018to the party and its leaders showing most conspicuously when prospects seemed most gloomy.His eloquence and his skill as an organizer have been employed unceesingly in election campaigns, and friends and opponents have acknowledged his rare power.The Liberals of Canada, from Gaspe to Algoma, have had .the benefit of his services at one time or © another.Among his recent triumphs, the victory of the Liberal candidate in Richelieu county over the Hom.Alph Desjardins and all the methods which the Tupper Government so lavishly employed to influence voters may be mentioned, as also his own magnificent victory \u2014 | for victory it was\u2014over the ex-Pra vincial Premier in Gaspe county.Mr.Marcil has certainly deserved well of his party, and we are sure the members of the Club National will have a most honorable presiding officer if they should aecide to elect him.On the other hand, should their choice fall upon Mr.Drouin, the club's present vice-president, there will be no less ground for satisfaction.Mr.Drouin, like .other members of his family, has always | been a staunch Idberal.He has already | given evidence of his worthiness to bear office, and the honor of the presidency of the Club National will not be too great for his merits.Since the advent of the Liberals to power he has been entrusted by the Government with its revenue cases, and has displayed skill and ability in their conduct.The Club National is 'to be congratulated upon having two such desirable candidates.MONTREAL PRESBYTERY Meets in Lachute to Discuss a Union of Two Churches.The Union Was Decided on and a New Édifice Wiil be Erected in the Town.: Lachute, Oct.12.\u2014(Special.)\u2014A meeting of the Montreal Presbytery was held in Lachute yesterday, for the purpose of further hearing fully both parties for and against the union of the two Presbyterian churches in Lachute.There were present: Rev.Dr.MacVicar, Rev.Prof.Scrimger, Rev.James Patterson, clerk; Rev.Mr.Dobson, Rev.Mr.Mormson, Rev.James Fraser, Rev.Dr.Patterson, Rev.Nathan Waddle, Mr.Walter Paul, Dr.Christie and others.The minutes of last meeting of the Presbytery were read, together with the proposed terms of union, at the morning meeting in Henry\u2019s Church.A small attendance of members was present, the Rev.Prof.Scrimger in the chair.Rev.Nathan Waddle, the pastor of the congregation, was requested to speak, and stated that he was in favor of union, but thought it was necessary that a new church be built in the ctntre of the town, and a proper helper be provided, as the field was large, covering an area of 144 square miles, fle had labored for five years under great difficulties.Lhe basis of union did not meet his ideas, but he was willing to resign and step out, and was perfectly satisfied with the action taken by the two congregations.- * Dr.Christie spoke strongly in favor of union, as well as many others.Mr.Jno.R.McOuat, Gavin J.Walker and Mr.Thomas Barron spoke strongly against the proposed basis of union.Mr.McQOuat stated that it would have been better to have provided a place to meet in as the present churches were not large \u201cenough to hold the two congregations, and a new church was necessary.Some person should have gone around and found out if the people were willing to subscribe for a new church, before the question of union came up at all._, Mr.Thomas Barron presented a petition to the Presbytery signed by a few that the question of uniow be dropped altogether.The Rev.Dr.MacVicar, just at the close of the mesting requested the opponents of the union to offer their amendments to the proposed basis of union at a joint meeting in First Church at 4 p.m.At the next meeting the Rev.J.Mackie, the retiring pastor of First Church, spoke strongly against the union, and said there were only a few who wanted union.John W.McOuat, Simon MeKimmie and others spoke strongly in favor of union.Geo.Morrison, P.S.Dunbar and Geo.D.Walker spoke against union.Dr.MacVicar asked would it not be better that they should be united.The joint meeting took place in First Church.The chairman called on the representatives from Henry\u2019s Church to give further recommendations.Mr.Thos.Barron moved that the present basis of union be dropped, and that First Church people unite with them when they shall have a voice in all the affairs of the church.During the after-meeting of the Presbytery, the Rev.Dr.MacVicar moved, seconded by Rev.James Fleck, 1st, That a almost absolutely necessasry; 2nd, That a new church be erected in the centre of the town; 3rd, That the people are perfectly able to guild a new church; 4th, That the arguments against union are not so great as those in favor of union; 5th, That proper care should be taken of the memories of the past history of the two congregations; and, resolved, that having heard all the parties fully for and against union, it is necessary that the two churches unite, and build a new church, and that subscription papers be passed around in the two congregations to find out what shall be given to build a new church, and that further action by the Presbytery be deferred until such time as the two sessions make their reports, and when the necessary funds are subscribed, a new church built and the union consummated.Remedy for Whooping Cough.At this season

And the Discussion Was Kept Up Till the Lights Went Out and the President Left, The members of the Club National met last night at the Monument National to consider a number of applications for membership.There was a good deal of discussion, exception being taken to the admission of 50 many new members on tne eve of an election.Objection proceeded principally from the friends of Mr.Drouin, Mr, Marcil\u2019s opponent for the presidency.The majority of those present, however, favored the admission of the new members, seeing that in their applications they had complied with all the rules of the club.At an advanced hour, before any formal decision had been reached, the light gave out, and the chairman, Mr.Camille Piche, declared the meeting closed, and retired, with the minority accompanying him.Mr.Marcil proposed a vote of no confidence in the departing president, which was adopted by the remaining members.À president for the remainder of the meeting was elected in the person of Mr.Gaston Maillet.Mr.Marcil said that he protested strongly against the desertion of the president, and to-day he would disperse through the country a statement that the majority had stayed in the light of the candle to defend their constituion.This is the protest: > Montreal, Oct.12, 1898.1 am.\u2014We, members of the Club National, in a regularly assembled mecting, protest against the

QUIT TOWN.IY How Capt, Allen G.Gillette, of fthe Tist New York, Came to Montreal and Captured It.The only difference between a young man who called himself \u201cCaptainsAlling Gillette\u201d and the one who a few years sgo \u201cdid up\u201d Montreal while masquerading under the mame of \u201cPhil Armour, jv., Chicago,\u201d is that the latter got away, with some $8,000 to $10,000 of good money and good goods, while \u201cGalette\u201d got a hundred at most, a few articles of wearing apparel, but a real happy time with a knowledge that he fooled several seople very badly.\u201cuillette \u2019 landed here about ten days ago, and soon ingratiated himself into the hearts of several young men.He stayed for a short time at the Carslake, where Lhe told remarkable tales about his captaincy in tbe famous 7lst New York Regiment, and of his heroism during thé mte war with Spain.\u201cWell, I don\u2019t know exactly,\u201d was the answer to a question as to how it feels to be in battle.\u201cIt is a hard question.Before the actual fighting begins you feel as if some great calamity was going to befall you\u2014such as the ruin of your busi- Dess or the logs of a near relative would affect you.Them when the real fighting begins your feelings give way to intense excitement, and you fight away with no thought of the danger that threatens you.It is not that you have no fear, simply that you get beyond it.You look upon death, too, in a peculiar way, or at least I did.My \u201ccaptain was shot dead within two feet of me, and I went straight ahead as if nothing important had happened.The first lieutenant was aiso killed.I was second lieutenant then, end the death of my two superior officers gave me command ôf the company.\u201d He said he was a son of tte well krywn Dr.Gillette, of the Mutual Insurance (Jom- pany of New York, and he went so fir as to actually call at the office of the company in this city.It would appear that he satisfied himself that Mr.Fayette Brown, the manager, was out of town and then he called.The presence of Dr.Gillette\u2019s son in the office was quite interst- ing.\u201cCaptain Gillette\u201d introduced him- svif: looked around the office, espied a picture of the doctor.\u201cDear old dad,\u201d he said.\u201cIt\u2019s a good picture.Taken a little while ago and, of course, he\u2019s growing older, but it\u2019s a good picture just the same.By the way, T am expecting some drafts on here in an hour or two; can you let me have a little money ?\u201d \u201cVery sorry,\u201d said Cashier Dodds, \u201cbut you see the manager is away, and I have no authority to give out any money.\u201d This was taking great chances with the \u201cson\u201d of the general manager of the company, but Mr.Dodds preferred to take these rather tken, other chances.\u201cOh, well,\u201d replied the Captain, \u201cLet it go, let it go.Telephone the Windsor and say Pm all right.\u201d This wasn\u2019t so bad, and Mr.Dodds willingly \u2019phoned

Oct.12.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Although indications are not wanting that the impetus which has been communicated to business there during the past month by the presence of such a large gathering of strangers will be something more than evanescent in its effects, the Ancient Capital may be said to be gradually resuming its wonted air of placid repose.The citizens, almost exhausted by their hospitable efforts, are beginning to rest, \u2018faith they need dt,\u201d although it is to be hoped none intend to \u201clie down for an aeon or two,\u201d or any such indefinite period.But, seriously, Quebec has been in a whirl of gaiety since the first meeting of the Joint High Commission, and GAVE AN TRADE the grave gentlemen composing that illustrious body have been feasted and enter- ; tained in a manner which, while it has impressed them with Quebec's Arab-like hospitality, must, to some extent, have interrupted their attention to the dry details of boundary questions and recipro- eitr treaties.The commissioners were hardly settled here when the British warships came along\u2014three of them\u2014includ- ing the Renown, with her big turret guns and her seven ar eight hundred of a crew.Then the United States ship, Marble- head, fresh from Cuban waters, arrived in battle trim, with lall her war paint.Meantime, Lord and Lady Aberdeen were holding court in the citadel, making their adieux of the city which they have loved so well, and Major-General Hutton, the new commander of the Canadian forces, had also arrived on the scene, amd the peaïtable invasion of \u2018the Ancient and \u201cHorrible\u201d Company of Artillery crowned alls, \u201cat homes\u201d and receptions .became affairs of everyday occurrence, the city, the Lieutenant-Governor, the Provincial Cabinet, the Hon.R.R.Dobell, the Governor-General and Vice-Admiral Sir John Fisher and the captain and officers of the Renown and the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company being the principal entertainers.Quebec, indeed, nobly vindicated its proud reputation for hospitality, although a distinguished Associated Press war correspondent stated that he would sooner \u2018\u2018do\u201d the Spanish war over again than stand another month of it.Visiting newspaper men, generally, were well looked after, and, although they did not find the high commissioners very communicative as to the proceedings of the conference, they could not complain of lack of attention from Quebec\u2019s entertainers.J.Demers, president of the Press Association of Quebec, was indefatigable in his exertions on behalf of his visiting confreres.Quebec has clearly taken up her place in the march of progress, and the periodical visitor has been struck lately by the indications, everywhere observable, of a disposition on the part of the citizens to make their city the important business centre which it is undoubtedly destined to become.Electric cars, equal, if not superior,

engineer with many years\u2019 experience 1u South African mining.Mr.Halder has been in the Klondike district on behalf of an English syndicate, which is considering mining operations on a large scale.He expresses himself as confident that the rich deposits can be worked profitably with machinery by strong companies for twenty-five or thiriy years, but that the placer mines will be .worked out in a few years.To induce companies to go into the country and operate on a large scale they would need to be given a sufficient area of ground to keep them employed profitably for the lengil of time mentioned.As the history of mining in all lands has shown that it costs \u2018as much to fake gat gold as the total value of the outyut, he says it would bs necessary to grant such considerable con- sessions in order to induce them to enter \u2018here are large areas of low-g:958 gravsi throughout the country, Mr.ar Ea which can only be worked by large con- | CeTrns.: Both Mr.Halder and Mr.White agree | that Canada has in the Yukon one of t.e | richest gold fields yet discovered, but that the only chance of making it a permancat and prosperous field is in the manner indicated.Therefore, they think that the mining regulations should be amended so as to permit of this, claitning that ia order to buy a large number of individual claims in a group, too much capital would be required.Individual mining, they think, offers little encouragement, as there are many qbstacles to be overcome and hardships to be endured before a man with \u201ceven good luck can hope to make any for- ;

their visit, they rifled the drawers of the desks and abstracted about $30 in American nickels and coppers, also a fine revolver, which was kept loaded om the premises.Then they went to work on the safe and bored two holes in the door.These they filled with powder, but they made a mistake by making the charge too small, and the explosion simply split the door sown the centre.The report of the ex- nlosion was louder than they evidently expected it would be, for it aroused the caretaker, who was slegping in his apartments above the office.As he went to investigate the burglars made off, leaving all their tools and powder.The extent of their gains were the SM and the revolver, but had they managed the other job more skilfully they might have made a rich haul.NEWSBOYS ON

RANDOM REMARKS.[ 9 © °° When the clouds of strife clear away the warring element of the Ontario Rugby Football Union will find that a great deal of harm has been done to the game in Ontario At present football is the only one of what we might claes as the more violent games that is distinctively a \u201cgentleman\u2019s game.\u201d The better-born young men of the Dominion indulge in it, and it is free from any taint of professionalism as any widely popular game could well be.Just when the season that promises to be the best in the history of the game in Canada was about to get nicely under way the four senior teams in the O.R.F.U.act like a lot of schoolboys, and leave the Union.Apart altogether from the merits of the case\u2014surely it was possible to settle the squabble internally, without showing the public that dollars and cents are more thought of than championships.The officers of the union represent the very clubs that made the fuss, and a settlement could have Been arrived at without a silly \u201cstrike.\u201d The public is getting very tired of having these squabbles dished up to them day after day.It is a very disgusting way of conducting amateur sport.The sooner we have broad-minded men at the head of affairs, men who can foresee any little friction and settle it quietly, the sooner will the longevity of our games be assured.The Intercollegiate League was organized to maintain the high standard of football, and now is a capital opportunity to show the wisdom of such a move The O.R.F.U.is playing into the hands of the College Union.Last Saturday\u2019s game in the Quebec series was a model of how gentlemanly football can be played, but the match on tht previous Saturday was not so satisfactory.The Kingston Gran- .ites did not behave like gentlemen, but they have an opportunity to prove them selves such on Saturday next.A certain amount of rough play is to be expected, but the least exhibition of ill feeling is inexcusable.A very sensible suggestion comes from the Toronto Mail and Empire.It Is to number football players such as is done at bicycle meets and in other athletic contests.It is very seldom that any spectator knows the different men on the field.In the stand one always hears, \u201cWho\u2019s that?\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s Smith.\u201d \u201cNo it isn\u2019t, there\u2019s Smith over there,\u201d and so on from start to finish.Only thirty numbers would be required, and these could be securely fastened to the back so as to be censpicuous to all spectators.Some would certainly be torn off, but there would be very few out of place at the end of the game.This >» simple little method of informing the pub-' lic of the names of the players would be greatly appreciated.In truth one feature of all such games is the little attention the powers that be give to the comfort and convenience of those who turn out and pay the quarters and fifty cent pieces that Eeep the clubs in existence.A little thoughtfulness on the part of the clubs would be greatly appreciated.Starting on time, for instance, would be an easy method of showing the public that their patronage was appreciated.In Winnipeg the referees have strict orders from the Union to start the games promptly on time if only half tht players are on the field.It has the desired effect.It is a wonder that one does not see more field glasses in the hands of spectators at football matches.A pair of glassts enable the onlooker to see many of the fine points of the game that escape the naked eve.\u2018 This is the time of the year when spomtsmen look forward to outings with the guns and dogs.Those fond of going after big game are particularly fortunate in having any amount of it in compaua- tive close proxinrity to Monitreal.During the past few days several parties have gone to the Kippawa district, in the County of Pontiac, Quebec, but at the same time it is strange that that superb country for moose shooting is so ustle known.Throughout the vast district there is something like a tradt of 2,900 square miles of country that affords the best moose shooting in the world.Lakes and streams cut it up into a network of passages through which all parts may be reached with ease.The aesthetic sports- man-\u2014and he is a rare bird that is not charmed by the beauties of nature\u2014can there find scenery whose grandeur is beyond description.Game birds, too, abound in countless numbers, and as for the fishing\u2014well, Isaac Walton would turn in his grace if he knew what he missed by not visiting the district.It is indeed a sportsman\u2019s paradise, and it will not be long before the sporting community recognize it as such.One Jay will take a party from Montreal by train end set them down at Lake Kippaswa, from which a wilderness of blue water, green \u2018trees and imposing mountains can e reached in a few hours.To cross the whole country that presents such a temptation to the sportsman would take at least twenty days, so you can eee that thousands of guns would scarcely make the sport less interesting.If any sportsmen would like to interview a few moose end wants to know just where to go and how to get there, I will be delighted to give him all necessary information.Steeplechasing seems \u2018to be getting to e more of a gentle game than it useu to be.Time was when no one would think of putting his horse over a jump that was less than four feet high.At the hunt steeplechases last week there was not a jump on the course that was three and a half feet high.Yet the rules of the huat call for four feet.The horses are being let down a trifle too easy.Four feet is the proper height for a jump on any steeplechase course, and it is too bad that height was not reached on the Bel-Air course.The water jump, too, has been contracting of late years until at last week\u2019s meet it disappeared entirely ! However, apart from that, the meet was &\u2018lmirably conducted, and the hunt deserves credit for another success achieved.Talking of steeplechase courses, it is too bad that we have not one near Montreal that would be a credit to our pink-coated knights.Ome certainly canuot be laid out within a mile course.It takes a great deal of territory, and as territory is rather cpensive, \u2018there are obvious reasons why the Hunt people have not one of the finest steeplechase courses in America.But everything comes in time.The Ottawas were expelled from the Quebec Rugby Union for adopting foul tactics on the field.The Ontario Rugby\u2019 Football Union immediately took them up and made heroes of them, thus acting in à very ungracious manner towards the Quebec Union.Now the O.R.F.U.bids fair to be wrecked by internal dissensions, and the following extract from the Toronto Globe indicates that the Ottawas are playing, the same old game: \u201cThe Osgoode scrimmage claim that they were subjected to the most brutal treatment by their opponents, who kneed them and upper-cutted them without cessation in mass plays.Wilson\u2019s eyes are badly swollen, and Mitchell's face is decorated with numerous bruises, the effect, as they say, of punches delivered by their checks.\u201d TRYING TO SETTLE SILLY SQUABBLE, Ontario Football Union Met Last Night and Made an Offer to the Dissenting Clubs.A SETTLEMENT UNLIKELY, Father Fallon Will Not Return to the Football Fold\u2014Granites Ready For Montrealers.cea GENERAL FOOTBALL GOSSIP.rares Toronto, Ont.Oct.12 \u2014(Special.)\u2014 There was another meeting of the O.R.F.U.executive last night, when all the members occupied seats around the di- liberative board.When Courtney Kingstone, on behalf of the Osgoode Club, at the last meeting of the executive brought in a motion to allow the Union but $25 out of each game, President Ford ruled it out of order.\"The first business done last night was the presi dent\u2019s withdrawal of dis-ruling and he thereupon ruled the motion in order.The Union then decided to suggest a compromise, agreeing to take $50 fur each game, providing that one-fifth of the receipts does exceed that amount, and in case one-fifth is less than $50, the fifth is to be taken.A sub-committee was appointed to confer with the committee appointed by the four senior teams.After stating what they would do regarding the matter, the Union gave the sub-committee full power to arrange terms with the dissenting teams.meeting of the representatives of the two parties will be held as soon as possible.A prominent football man, who is on the committee appointed by the teams, said that he tliought there was not the slightest chance that the\u2019 clubs would accept the Union\u2019s offer.They are out on strike, and it looks as if they will stay out if the Union does not come to their terms.SATURDAY\u2019S GAMES.Although it is yet early in the season it ds most important to both the Montreal teams that they should win \u2018their gemes next Saturday.If Montreal again cefeats the Granites, it will put them where the championship should come as a matter of course, as t will have three victories to ther credit, with College with one defeat and Granites two.Such a lead will just about make things sure.For this reason the Montreal players will make an earnest effort to win Saturday's game at Kingston.Judging by the manner the Granites behaved here and their well-known actions on \u2018their own grounds, the game will not be of the gentlest.As an excursion will be run to Kingston, a large number of supponters will probably accompany the team.The McGill team is just as anxious to win from \u2018Varsity, for it they are vie- torious they will have two wins to their credit, and the Queen\u2019s and \u2019Varsity teams each a loss.This would make à nice start towards\u2019 winning the championship.The game takes place on the MeGill campus, and commences promptly at 2.30.Seating capacity for 1,500 has been provided around the gridiron, and the sale of seats commenced to-day.There may be some changes in the team for the game, but they will be slight.men are wow in the pink of condition, and wii be ready for the game of their lives on Saturday.Toronto \"Varsity has a strong team this season, one of the strongest in Ontario, so the meeting of the two colleges should mean a magnificent game.NEWS FROM KINGSTON.Kingston, Ont., Oct.12.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 Queen\u2019s has refrained from entering a protest against Saturday\u2019s game, not wishing to cause any friction in the inter-collegiate union, or upset the league schedule.Both.referee and the team have placed statements before the executive for their consideration, Queen\u2019s, as far as known, has only protested two Rugby football games in the past ten years.One was against Ottawa in 1889, and the other against Hamilton in 1890, Queen\u2019s winning both brotests.The college does not believe in protests unless great injustice has occurred.Manager Charles Webster has had a letter from the Montreals in regard to next Saturday\u2019s game.They want the crowd to be kept back thirty feet from the touchline, Mr.Bailey or Cadet Carr-Harris for referee, and a fence around the gridiron.The only thing they said they did not want was Dr, Ross for referee.\u201cJack\u201d Elliott has decided to get out with the Granites, and appeared in uniform this afternoon.He is a fast wing man.Reyner has not recovered from the usuage received at the hands of a Mong real footballist, and may not be able to turn out with the Granites on Saturday.GREAT LOSS TO COLLEGE.Ottawa, Ont, Oct.11.\u2014Rev.Father Pal.lon will not manage the wa Univer- city Football team this year.\u201d He wishes it denied that he was waited on by any deputation asking him to assume control of the team, and also that he gave any answer whatever.Father Fallon stated positively to-day that he was out of football to stay, and under no circumstances would he take up his old duties in connection with_the team.There is not likely to be any change in the management, im spite of rumors *o the contrary.The players are not depressed by their defeat on Saturday.BRITS WANT A GAME.Brockville, Ont, Oct.11.\u2014The Britannia Football Club, of Montreal, has asked Brockville for an exhibition game on the 22nd instant.The secretary has replied that the Brockviiles would be pleased to meet and entertain the Britannias, but they have a match on here, at that date, provided they win out next Saturday with Ottawa.GLEASON ON HOW TO TRAIN.KE.P.Gleason, past captain of the Ottawa College football team, contributes an article to the Toronto News on the success of the college team.lt was written before last Saturday\u2019s game:\u2014 The Ottawa College Football Club has perhaps had a more wonderful career than any other athletic organization \u2018n Canada.For five years, beginning from 1885, it won five successive championships, playing nearly forty game in all, not one of which resulted in a defeat.In recent years a series of brilliant triumphs on the gridiron has managed to bring fame to the wearers of the garnet and grey, wherever skill in athletics is valued or pluck admired.How, then, can we account for the unparalleled success of the Ottawa College team?Why have they achieved numerous viatories when weight and speed was to all appearances on the opponent\u2019s side?Is there anything in their name that drives terror into an opposing team, or are their exploits the result of qualities of a more obvious character?The answer to these questions, so far as could be learned from five years\u2019 close observation and active experience, I am requested to give to the readers of the News.First of all, their repeated winnings of championships can not be explained by their possessions of exhaustless material {from which to select players.The truth of this statement has, to my satisfaction, been strongly veritied since I came to Toronto.Perhaps there is not a senior club in this city that has not almost twice as many promising players as usually turn out with the Ottawa College kickers.This makes the excellence of their showing all the more inexplicable.However, if asked bo give in a few words the real cause of their success | would say it is because they have determined to be successful.To this end every nerve is strained, every effort directed.It is a tradition among the students that the Canadian championship is a part and parcel of their in- staution, and as such it is safeguarded with a jealous vigilance.This character be ing common to the student body at large, it is particularly so of the players, whose attendance at practice is almost as regular as their attendance at class.\u201cPrac tice! practice!\u201d is continually drilled into thei ears on all sides.It is the cry of their coaches and managers, as well as the everlasting topic of their college magazine._ It is a maxim that a second class player in trim is more valuable than a first-class man in poor condition, and it is this consideration that determines the personnel af the team.turns out to every practice.It is the uncommon exception when the whole fifteen seniors are not found in their places when the whistle blows for the beginning of work.The papers are complaining cf the deficiencies of the present team in this respect.Perhaps such a bemuporary forgetfulness on the part of the plavers may account for the result of the McGill College game last Saturday; if so, it only confirms my conviction that the present champions have not any uncommon qualities or privileges which should enable them to renounce their past methods of severe and systematic training with impunity.In a future letter 1 may give more minute observations as to how the college team has been capable of winning and retaining its proud position in the football world, and why, even though it may be defeated today in Montreal, it may still be an important factor in the championship race for \u201898.E.P.Gleason.SOME GREAT RACING.Horses at Morris Park Yesterday Provided Rare .Sport.In

WOMEN GOLFERS.American Championship Being Decided This Week and Will Undoubtedly Go to Miss Beatrix Hoyt.New York, Oct.11.\u2014The third annual tournament, held under the auspices ot the United States Gout Association, to determine the women\u2019s golf championship ot America, began early this IMOrning on Lie links of the Ardsiey Golf Club, on the banks of the Hudson River.Lhe begin- mung of the contest was witnessed by nearly 1,000 enthusiasts.That Miss Beatrix Hoyt, of Sinnecock Mills, who had he:d the honor and trophy, which was presented to the association by the Hon.Kob- ert Cox, M.P., 105 Edinburgh, since 1896, Will again prove her superiority, is conceded by nearly every person iglerested in the game.Miss Hoyt certainly bas shown that she far out-ciasses all her fair rivais and in fact many of them, who are good judges say there are very few Scotch women that can outplay her.As was to be expected, iss Hoyt\u2019s round of the links to-day was the feature of the play and she was followed by a gallaxy of some 400 men and women, Who irequently applauded the young woman\u2019s masterly strokes.With the possible exception of a couple ot chances in putting, Miss Hoyt made no mistakes in her round in which she had for a partner Mrs.E.Dewitt Cochrane, of the local club.The champion accomplished the journey with 92 strokes for the 18 holes and Mrs.Coch- rane took 113.The next best score was made by Miss Edith B.Burt, of the Philadelphia Club, who made the circuit of the links in 100 strokes.Miss Mabeline Boardman, of the Essex County Golf Club, Mass., and Miss Grace B.Keyes, of Concord, Mass., came next with 102 each.Miss Caroll Eidlitz, of Ardsley, qualified with 103, and another New Englander, Miss Maude Wetmore, of Newport, finished with 104.Mrs.J.A.Greiner, of the Baltimore Country Club, and Miss Ruth Underhill, of Queen's County, L.I., tied with 107 each.Mrs.E.A.Manico, of Pittsfield, Mass, and Miss Marion Shearson, of Chicago, each had scores of 107.Mrs.W.F.Morgan, of the Baltusro!l County Club, finished fourteenth with 108, and Miss Katherine K.Cassatt, of Philadelphia Cricket Club, and Miss Harriet S.Curtis, completed the qualified list

Month Rent for an Office to Meet in.The committee in charge of the world\u2019s | championship wheel meet still continues to \u2018 put itself on record as about the most generous organization that ever tried to run anything.It will be rememberad that a few weeks ago The Herald pointed out that the finance committee had decided to pay a.secretary $60 a momth notwithstanding the fact that he would have practically nothing to do for five or six months.Now they intend to do some- | thing equally as generous.The committee must have a place to .Of course that is manifest.A dozen hotels are at their service, or the M.A.A.A.would undoubtedly be pleased to set aside a room for them.But mone \u201cof this will do.The committee has the money to spend, and they must spend it, so they have decided to pay one of their members $15 a monith for the use of his office.The member stated that he would be most pleased to let them have the use of the office without payment, but this would not do.; It is time the commititee was curbing its expendlture and ceœusng to throw money away in such a ridiculous manner.The members were appointed by the wleelmen of Montreal to run the meet, and if they do nob appear to be better guardians of the interests intrusted to then \u2018the work will have to be given to tinose ; who will proceed on a more businesslike basis.The wonderful generosity of the fiance committee will first have to be curbed.ENDED IN A DRAW.The Rainat Chicago Was All that Saved the Windy City Cricketers from a Bad Defeat.Chicago, Oct.11\u2014The picked cricket eleven from
