PUBLISHING CO.Jas.S.BRIERLEY Managing Director, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21.THE WASHINGTON NEGOTIATIONS The Canadian commissioñers have left Washington for the Christmas holiday season, and the conference is in consequence adjourned for a couple of weeks.It is thought to be very probable that when the commissioners re-assemble it will be a matter of only two or three weeks more until whatever treaty can be agreed upon will be signed.The American commissioners are apparently quite as earnest as the Canadians in the desire to arrive at a complete adjustment of the differ ences that have arisen, and it may now \u2018be rezarded as certain that the object for \" which the conference was convened has been practically accomplished.There is | now a complete understanding betwëen the two Governments as to the merits of the | disputed issues, and in some cases it has been easy to arrive at an arrangement satisfactory to both.We believe, for example, it is generally \"understood that the good feeling between Canada and the United States will not be any longer in danger of being disturbed by alien labor laws.It never has been believed in Canada that the sober sense of the whole American people was favor able to such measures as have been taken at Buffalo, Detroit and other border cities by over-zealous agents of the American Government, and the Canadian alien law, although it was felt necessary to pass it in order to enter a protest against these actions, has been withheld from operation by the opinion of the Canadian people.The natural movement of labor from one country to the other is such as to render laws of this kind exceedingly ill-advised, and the operation of the natural law which drives man to seek his bread where there is the best chance of earning it is so strong that statutes framed to prevent the migration are certain to be ignored in the vast majority of cases, which makes all the more grievous the punishment inflicted on the remainder.No one who reflects upon the fact that there are immense numbers of Canadians in the United States and swarms of active and industrious Americans in British Colum- | bia and Western Ontario building yp the fabric of Canadian mineral development can fail to realize that Jaws intended to prevent such movements of population are a grievous anomaly.t was necessary, however, that there should bc a plain i Statement of the case and an ample and amicable discussion of all the bearings of alien legislation before it could be done away with on both sides.This, there is every reagon to believe, has now been -agrecd upon, and if nothing else ghould \u2018result from the conference the time will have been well spent.Allied with this question is another, the restriction which prevents Canadiang from engaging in mining operations in the United States.This restriction is to be removed.It is also understood that an agreement hag been entered into touching the wrecking laws governing the shipping of the Great Lakes which will make an end of the vexatious delays that have been the means at one time and another of losing a vast amount of property unnecessarily.An agreement js believed to have been reached also which will make - possible adequate provision for the pro- ! tection of the fisharics in the Great Lakes \u2018And international streams.Conflieting \u2018laws governing what are practically the same preserves have caused undoubicd hardships to those fishermen of one country who have been at times debarred from availing themselves of the privileges exercised before their eyes by their competitors.This will, it às understood, be provided against in future, and adequate provision will at the same time be made for the preservation of the fisheries themselves, which are the sonrce of many millions of dollars\u2019 worth of wealth each year.The boundary questions, it is also stated by those who have followed the proceedings of the conference closely, are believed to have been put in a far way of settlement.The Alaska boundary question was a most threatening cause of dispute between Canada and the States, aud the opening of the Klondik de it |.; era Ene made it the desperate fight Mr.Laforest and his at once imperative that whatever may be the line to be accepted as a boundary it should be defined at once so that the full influence of the Alaska littoral upon the development of the Canadian interior may Le at once understood.There can be no doubt that to continue the question in its old form would be to invite trouble at cvery turn.That such a condition would be a serious menace to peace is self evident.It is, therefore, well that a definite understanding should be arrived at.As to reciprocity, it is only right to remember that it was not part of the original plan of the conference, but was brought into discussion by influences too strong to be resisted.It is quite true that it was recognized from the first by both sides that the subject could not fail to be debated, and the appointment of Mr.Kas- son on the United States side was a tacit admission that better trade relations were to be pretty fully dis cussed.It is mot to be forgotten, however, that the Canadian Government had sounded their Washington authorities on this subject prior to the introduction of the first tariff legislation, that the response had been either directly unfavorable or at best vo more thon lukewarm, and that the \u2018Liberal party in Canada had afterwards mdopted the policy of extending a | preference to such countries as were in the mood to receive Canadian products on advantageous terms, and a beginning was made with England to the manifest advantage of this country.The foremost economists of the United States were stirred by this step, and perhaps still more by the movement for expansion the Americans have so vigorously adopted in the last vear, to draw the attention of their manufacturers to the fact that Canadians are, head for \u2018head, the best outside customers the Americans have, and it was not long before the chambers of commerce frem the Atlantic to the Pacific were clamoring at the ears of the commissioners for access to Canadian markets and the granting of an adequate return.No one who has followed the daily reports of the conference can fail to have observed that reciprocity was a main topic of interest, and that the Americans, not the Canadians, wers the more strenuous in urging such an arrangement.There is every indication that Sir Wilfrid Lauricr and his colleagues of the commission have inspired their Aunerican associates with a high estimate of their diplomatic capacity.What may come of these negotiations there is at present no knowing, but it is reasonably certain that the way has been smoothed for better trade relations, if not now, then at some future time.But reciprocity or no reciprocity, the ecnference may be said to have accomplished the work for which it was called, and so to have deserved well of the people of both countries.\u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 LA MINERVE WANTS AN INQUIRY.La Minerve this morning contains an article in which it deals in an excellent manner with The Herald\u2019s \u201cclean sweep\u201d campaign.It takes the ground that inas- -much as serious charges have been made by The Herald against the general administration of the city, and these charges are being repeated in public, therefore there should be an investigation.\u201cFor a long time past,\u201d it says, \u201cit has been loudly said in public that all was rotten at the City Hall, and that our municipal administration is the most corrupt that can be imagined.It must be confessed that the disorder which reigns in nearly all the departments has given ground for suspicions.Are they founded?The Herald proposes a way of finding out.\u201d The Herald, it points out, has asked for an investigation by a Royal Commission, and La Minerve, after printing the petition being circulated, with the object of getting such a court of enquiry, teils the Council that it should anticipate this petitions presentation by itself immediately requesting the appointment of a commission \u201cto make a serious and impartial enquiry into our entire municipal administration.\u201d \u201cIt 3, is, we believe,\u201d La Minerve says, \u201cthe sole method by which it can show that it does not fear the light, and to thus give satisfaction to public opinion.\u201d With all of this we heartily agree.If the Council will itself ask the Government to issue a commission under the act of 1895, The Herald will undertake to prove tribunal the The Herald is prepared to prove before a commission its charges before and Government may appoint.or in the courts of law the statements it has made regarding officials and the general administration.It is prepared to justify its demand for the dismissal of certain high officials, and the reorganization of the whole administrative system.What, indeed, have our charges been but so many demands, many times repeated, for an op portunity to reveal to the public eye that rottenness of Which La Minerve speaks?We welcome the support which La Minerve gives to the demand for an enquiry.Our contemporary sees what must be plain to every distaterested observer, that the honor of the Council is at stake.It sees, moreover, no doubt, that the credit of the French pcople will be involved in a refusal to investigate.The French peonle are in controi at the City Hall.They have the power to do as they think fit.Having this power, they \u2018have also tle responsibility of seeing that the city govern- and efficient\u2014that the civic departments .are managed as public ment is honest services, and not as private preserves., La Minerve has done what we believe will be approved by the whole French population, except in interested circles, by demanding that The Herald be given an opportunity of establishing its charges.For our own part, we promise that there will be no abandonment of the affair by this paperer es A THE FIGHT FOR REFORM.The meeting.of the Water Committee yesterday - furnished sufficient evidence of friends are making to stave off investigation of his conduct.Strong pressure was brought to bear upon Ald.Gagnon to drop his motion, but without avail.Ald.Lareau, who is not a member of the committee, presented himself with a demand that it be dropped.Ald.Jacques for a while insisted that it be withdrawn before any other steps were taken in the investigation.Ald.Prenoveau remarked that even if all the statements it contains were true, he would vote against the matter being reported to Coun- ¢il.When Ald.Gagnon tried to make the plain statement that everything in his motion was substantiated by the report of the City Auditor, Le had the utmost difficulty in securing a hearing.Ald.Jacques strove to prevent it by sheer noise, but the quiet representative of St.Louis Ward was not to be cowed and frankly let whoever wanted the information understand that in his opinion the auditor's report placed upon the Council the duty of dismissing Mr.Laforest, and that he was prepared to vote for his dismissal.In the light of all the circumstances too much praise cannot be accorded Ald.Gagnon for the courage he has shown in Uhis matter.He and those on the conumittee who are determined to have the truth made known, are now realizing what it means to be zralous in the cause of reform.Theÿ are beset night and day by the friends of Mr.Laforest and of the aldermen who work with him.Those of them who are French-Canadians are roundly denounced for daring to investigate the conduct of an official who happens to be .of their race.All are reproached with being emissarics of The Herald, whatever that may imply.The rings that infest the City Hall realize that they are now being attacked in earnest, and every influence that can in any way be enlisted is being directed against the three aldermen who have signified by their acts that they want the Water Department to be properly administered.What, the ordinary citizen may well ask, has given rise to so much excitement ?Simply the fact that, acting under instrue- tions from the committee, the City Auditor has brought in a report the nature of which is to show that the superintendent of the department is not worthy to be retained in his position.To be quite frank about the matter, it is for that very reason that most of those who are now so active in his support desire Mr.Laforest to continue in office.And the question which naturally arises is whether those who are interested in defending the discredited official are to do all the fighting or to be the only ones who shall express an opinion on the subject to the aldermen who will presently have to decide the issue.Citizens who desire a better state of things should lose no opportunity of pressing upon aldermen the necessity for an investigation.ee THE ATTACK ON THE AUDITOR.The most extraordinary feature of the Laforest incident is the Met that the friends of the Superintendent have sought to divert attention from his misdeeds by juining in an attack on the City Auditor.The same paper that vents its indignation against all and sundry who have anything to say against Mr.Laforest, and which ho!'ds that he must be defended, right or wrong, because he is \u201cone of ours,\u201d does not hesitate to speak severely of Mr.Du- fresne, who is also \u201cone of ours.\u201d In another paper, the aulitor\u2019s report on Mr.Laforest's case has been made the occasion of a protest against his salary being increased.Instead of Mr.Laforest being tried for failing in the discharge of his duty, it looks now as though the auditor was to be condemned for having proved faithful to the trust reposed in him.The auditor's report was mild enough in all conscience.And very rightly so.It is not expected sf him to make out the severest possiv!e charze against a colleague.Ile was not to Le expected to act either as an advocate or as au expert ac- ccuntant making an exhaustive enquiry with the object of producing all available evidence.He was given a definite werk to do, and he has done it.If in doing so he was obliged to make it known that Mr.Laforest had been charging his gtebleman to the city, he is not to be blamed.It is the other man who is the culprit.If he was obliged to report that the services of men were charged to certain appropriations, while the men were in fact working at Mr.Laforest\u2019s house (for which there wa: no appropriation), the blame is not upon him but upon the man or men who ordered cr aided in the falsification of the public documents.If his audit showed beyond question that goods paid for by the city had not been entered in the buoks and that their use had not been accounted for in the regular way, and was obliged to report the fact In accordance sith his instructions, the blame was certainly not his, We have reached a curious stage in the development of publi: morality if the culprit is ta be always defended and punishment is to be reserved for the Lerefit of those by wh is exposed.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 WITHHOLDING PUBLIC DOCUMENTS Mr.Laforest continues to refuse the press access to the report on Ald.Gagnon\u2019s motion is based.This is a most extraordinary proceeding for a man who might be expected to avail himself of so palpable a method of proving his innocence, if he is innocent.Why not let the public, who pay his salary, into the knowledge of how the work under his command has been done?There are a lot of details about the time spent by ditfer- ent men in Lachute, Ste.Agathe, and at his house in De Lorimier.The time of these men was all charged up to the city and parcelled out into various appropriations.Why not let the citizens know whether such services weit into the bill as repairs, pipe-laying, new services or what not?Lhe secretary of the committee read over a long list of such sarvices yesterday, and it seomed to the listeners that many of the items might have a direct bearing on the various statements The Herald has made.Why not allow these to be published, so that the publie may get some idea of how things were done.There are quite a number of men who worked on Mr, Laforest's private enterprise while drawing pay from the city.Why not give them a chance to check the entries made in their name?Why not let the public get some idea of the kind and value of the goods the City Auditor says were paid for and used somewhere without being entered in the regular books?Surely Mr.Laforest must sce that the people have an interest in these things only second to his own.And, in passing, is it not rather a highhanded proceeding to deny the press access to such documents as these?But then they are more or less accustomed to high handed proceedings in that department, as witness tha reservoir transaction.\u2014\u2014 special om his wrong-doing which La Minerve rises to remark that The Herald cannot drop the crusade against City Hall crookedness.We hope our esteemed contemporary has not seen any indications of such a contingency.There are some people who wish most devoutly that they could.\u2014 mt Ar The Rossland Record says :\u2014The eager manner in which moneyed men of Montreal recently responded to the call for subscriptions to the capital stock of a smelter company to operate in Greenwood camp indicates a much improved condition in that city.The capitalization is tc be 90,000 shares, but the applications for stcek ran up to about 2,000,000 shares.Montreal heretofore has been backward in taking hold of mining, but this very sue- cessful flotation vouches safe that that wealthy city will fall into line.Everything hat the Thrity Housewife And That the Inner Man Can Desire For the Christmas Dinner Table IS TO BE HAD AT THR OLD RELIABLE ITALIAN WAREHOUSE.Fine

Dec.21.\u2014The McKinley party returned to Washington yesterday from its Southern \u2018trip.The ride through Virginia yesterday morning was uneventful.Mrs.McKinley is somewhat better, and the other members of the party are in good health.The last morning aboard the presidential train was spent chiefly in farewell vigits paid upon each other by the members of the party.The President received the guests in his own car.They expressed entire satisfaction over the trip and in this sentiment every member of the Cabinet on board heartily coincided, while Gens.Wheeler and Shafter repeated the eulogistic expressions already made in their speeches.The general impression prevailed that the trip had cemented to a marvellous degree the good feeling between the North and South and had brought into prominence the excellent condition and capabilities of the army.The original object of the visit was to celebrate peace with Spain, but it lost its significance directly after the President\u2019s memorable utterances regarding \u2018the care of the Confederate dead.pre (A week of high-class comedy is announced by Mr.and Mrs.Frank Murphy for Her Majesty\u2019s Theatre for the

THAWING OUT GOLD.it Will Be of Immense Value in Developing the Klondike Gold Fields.rer SOMETHING ABOUT pret The directors of the Electrical Thawing Syndicate, Limited, Dashwood House, 9 New Broad street, London, lave secured a patent for the thawing of frozen earth which promises to play an important part in placer gold mining in Canada.The promoters of the company, which has been established with a large capital, are Messrs.Graburn & ~ Blayney, who have disposed of the patent for £7,000.The credit for the invention is due to Mr.William Ogilvie, a well-known lecturer, who has made a special study of this matter; but it is largely through the efforts of Mr.Graburn, of the Montreal Street Railway Company, that the invention has been successfully exploited.It is claimed by the promoters that the thawing of frozen earth can be accomplished at the rate of one foot per hour at one-fifth of the cost entailed by the ordinary bonfire process.The appliance has been reported upon in the most favorable terms by eminent authorities in London.Mr.H.Parshall, consulting engineer of the British Thomson-Houston Company, the Dublin United Tramway Company and the Bristol Tramway and Omnibus Company, says: INVENTION, R, F.BROWN, ® Tel Main 2851.MI.MECH, H CONSULTING ENGINEER Machinery, Rolling Stock.Engines and Boller of every description supplied.ARBITRATIONS.VALUATION 22 Street Railway Chambers, Montreal.\u201cFrom the practical tests I have conducted relative to the electrical thawing of frozen earth by the method of application covered by the Canadian patent above referred to, I find that the system of thawing proposed is easily applied and thermally economical, and as a matter of fact must give more satisfactory results for mining purposes in a country such as the Klondike than can possibly be obtained from the present bonfire system of thawing, in which case a larger proportion of the heat is dissipated than under a system such as you propose where the generation and application of the heat is under control.\u201d The Canadian patent to be acquired by the syndicate provides for specially constructed dynamos and electrodes, the latter being placed against the walls of the shaft, with a space of from five to six feet of ground intervening, thus the current \u201cwhen turned on will have to cross the face of the space to complete the circuit, and the ground, forming a resistance to the motion of the elcotricity, heat is thus generated and the ground thawed.Among the numercus advantages claimed for the electrical thawing system it may be mentioned that, by the primitive method of bonfire thawing in a temperature of zero or lower, upwards of 85 per cent.of the heat generated is lost in the atmosphere, whilst heat generated elec- tricallv by the patent can be obsolutely controlled and applied in such a manner as to utilize its full force and effect, consequently, whilst it is only possible by the bonfire system to thaw one foot of frozen earth in twenty-four hours, it is possible to thaw out one foot per hour y the electrical system, All the stock certificates in connection with the nsw formed company sare in Montreal,

Swindled.Something happened at the National Horse Association on Monday, and they haven't stopped talking about it yet.Mr.Von Speigel, who professed to hail from New York, was in vown où Monday.He registered at the Queen\u2019s Hotel.He was a horseman, and was on the oor of the National Horse Association, Ni John \"Su.ew JN MO:day.He Was very frce with bis bets; made several bets of three or tour bundreu doliars, and lost a couple and \u2018won a couple.\u201c So the general etory goes.* But there 1s an interesting story behind.Mr.on Speigel had a penchant for the {New Orleans races.In the second race he made a bet of $100 to #800 on Flying Bird for first place, as well as.$100 even that she would at least win third place.The reports came in that she had won, and the managenient of the Horse Association cashod the tickets.The third race was ow on and Mr.Von Speigel wanted to bet on Nobilis for first place, but as he was & little late in placing his bet, it was not accepted.The orowd in the pool room here became possessed of the idea that the American stranger knew what he was talking about, and bet freely on Nobilis.Agaiu the report came in that the named horse had won, and again the tickets were ,cashed.Now came the fourth race, and again Mr.Von Speigel was to the front.He 1 laid a bet of $200 (four to one) on Elkin for first place, but had apparently become so bold that he did not think it necessary to qualify or save himwself by other bets for second, third or fourth place, ete.The report came in, and for the third time Von Speigel's favorite had secured first , Place, amd for the third time the tickets were cashed, Now comes the interesting denouement.The official report comes to hand, as pub- lishked in the New York Morning 'Lele- gran.Tt shows that Dr.Vaughan was the horse that won the second race, \u201cFlying : Bird\u201d ecuning in sixth; that Brakeman won the third race and \u2018Nobilis\u201d was last, and what Sam Lazarus Esa won hi fourth race, and \u201cElkin\u201d was third.; That night Mr.Von Speigel, it is said, left for New \u2018York, it is supposed, and the question now arises where did the reports come from ?Was there collusion at the other end of the wires; were the wires tapped, or what ?The Horse Association is reputed to { have lost at least $2,000 by the deal.At \u201cany rate Mr.Von Spigel disappeared and carried off some $1,300.Upon the management of the Horse As- * sociation being approached in the matter, this afternoon, the loss of the money was acknowledged.\u201cBut,\u201d added the gentleman spoken to, \u201cthe least said about it the better; we arc not sclling Bibles, you know.\u201d BLISS IS DETERMINED.toner He Will Give Up the Secretaryship and Wants to be Relieved by Jan.1st.Washington, Dec.21.\u2014Several Western Senators, including Wolcott, of Colorado, and Spooner, of Wisconsin, yesterday ung- ed Secretary Bliss to remain in the Cabi- met, but the Secretary replied that he would not reconsider his determination, and hopes the President would determine on his successor very soon, as he hopes : to be able to retire on January 1.Sena- \u201ctor Warren, of Wyoming, was one of those \u201cwho importuned Secretary Bliss to remain in the Cabinet.These gentlemen called separately.Mr.Bliss was very positive in declining to reconsider his action, but : Great anxiety is felt here concerning states if the President should be aunable to fix upon his successor meantime he might remain a week or so longer, though he was anxious the New Year should mark his return to private life.He said his business cares as well as his health necessitated relief from the strain to which he is subjected in administering: the great department.He indicated that no one had yet been determined upon to succeed him.He said he had intended to keep the resignation a secret amd that the announcement of his retirement and the appointment of a successor should be made simultaneously.Secretary Bliss refused to discuss his resignations publicly and paid there was nothing he could say at this me.° - \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 it.Business Notes.fl

Dec.21.\u2014The Sam Parslow murder trial did not open this morning until after half-past ten ¢\u2019clock.This was owing to to the gentlemen in attendance at the court rushing io the funeral of the late registrar.There were not many spectators present in the court room when the sitting commenced, but a good many came in as the trial pro- cecded.Mrs, Parsiow, he mother of the accused was the first witness.She testified to the gcod character of her son.She had noticed his intimacy with Cordelia Viau and had warned him to discontinue it.But Sam would not listen to her on this subject.She was followed by Prospere Lachapelle, who gave much the same evidence as he had already given in the Cordelia Viau trial.He was aware of the intimacy existing between Parslow and Cordelia Viau.He also told the court what had irappened when Sam\u2019s mother had heard the news of Isidore Potrier\u2019s sudden death.She had evidently suspected her son, for sheesaid something about Cure Pinault uot doing \u2018his duty.Mrs.Parslow, however, denied making this remark when givin her evidence.; The next witness was John Limoges.He said that on the Sunday of the tragedy he was driving along the rcad with his wife.Cordelia Viau came along and thev met.The lutter\u2019s face was flushed and eillcited looking.She hardly seemed to recognize them.They commented on the occurrence at the time.Adelard Robert, grocer\u2019s olerk, told of the whiskey Parslow had purchased at his master\u2019s shop.Adrien Rioux, postmaster of St.Canut, was the last witness of this morning's ses- iron.His evidence has already been given at the Viau trial.It was almost ome o'clock when the court adjourned.\u2014_\u2014 TWO PICKPOCKETS Get Six Months Each and a Fine\u2014 Would Have Got Off Only They Were Too Brazen,

globes, and above all Their Excellencies competed institution it has held many fashionable gatherings, but none of them compare with tliat of last evening, when Montreal society turned out in numbers that had hardly been hoped for by the most sanguine member of the many managing committees.Tha occasion was (he annual Charity Ball.This year its financial mission was to enrich the treasury of the Montreal Maternity Ilospital.Surely no more worthy object could have been chosen.The Montreal Maternity stands to-day without a peer in the city in its own modest way of doing good to the unfortunate who knocks at its door.The key is never turned; the pratron is never Weary.And once again the youth and beauty of the city went into dreamland.All was forgotien; even the first abject of the ball.The very fact that out of all the gaiety good was to come was of as little moment to them as wouid have been & knowledge of impending trowble.With Princess Amelia 4 i exclaim: Shey might TR *Unthipking, idle, wild and young, \" I iaugb'd, and denc'à, and taik\u2019d, and sung.For many years now society in Montreal has annually polished the floor of Windsor Hall.The walls have been decorated with the Union Jack down to the crescent of the Turk; with the rose, thistle and shamrock and the violet peeping from the folds of the Stars and Stripes.Yearly efforts have been made to have a change.Old scenes were monotonous.And so the Charity Ball committee decided on trying Her Majesty's.It has its charms; it has its faults.Its chief charm lies in its beauty, its cosiness, its nooks and corners, its newness.iis faults\u2014for such an occasion as last night\u2014 are in its lack of suitable dressing rooms for ladies, and, above all, the absence of a room in which a large number of people can dine at the same time.The fing old dining room of the Windsor was missed.Buffet luncheons were the proper caper last night, and, after all, is it not pretty near the mark to say that eight out ol ten of \u2018the little supper tate-a\u201ctetes in the boxes, loges, galleries and corridors of Her Majesty\u2019s were enjoyed inuch better than would have been a \u201c\u2018course\u201d meal in a great hall.Pair maids might pout and gallant youths nod assent to the hal{-heart- ed fault-finding, but deep down was a feeling that surely some one\u2019s judgment had erred on the right side.Now to let a secret from the reportorial pen: Scores of misses and mesdames, Loo, to say nothing of the mesdames\u2019 sons and the misses\u2019 brothers and sweethearts, and to be complete, the fathers and uncles and aunts who were there, had one great disappointment.The \u201cgreen room\u201d and the dressing rooms of Petipas, Jacqueline, The Bailet Girl, The Bachelor and Foxy Quiller were all held sacred by Mr.and Mrs.Murphy.\u201cIf we could only get a look at them,\u201d came from many a pair of pretty lips, but the peeps behind the scenes consisited only of the stage prover, with its wings, flies, gridiron, paint, frame, etc.Somebody once said that society was composed of bored persons who tried to look pleased, and pleased persons trying! to look bored, but society knew not the fo mar the pleasure of the night.* * * .~~ Their Excellencies.ORD MINTO and the Countess and suite arrived at 10.40, and the news quickly spread.They were ushered into the private cloak room at the right Mf the entrance to Her Majesty\u2019s, and at 11 o'clock a start was made for the dance floor.The dress circle rose as the orchestra struck up \u201cGod Save the Queen,\u201d and the dancers formed a passageway for the party.The music for the Enickerbocker lancers floated from ihe stand, and the following danced in the set of honor: Lord Minto, Mrs.Miller.Mr.Justice Tait, Lady Minto.Maj.-Gen.Hutton, Mrs.Frank May.Prin, Peterson, Mrs.Rielle.Lt.Uol.Gordon, Mrs.M.Allan.¥.8.Clouston, Mrs.Drummond, Jol.Whitehead, Lady Beauclere.H.Stikémnan, Mrs.Wigmore.jor Drumunond, ors.Retford, The Dance.HX dance programme was splendidly chosen.A glance at the numbers shows that the arrangement wes in the hands of a very capable committee.\u201cThere were not too many round dances; there were not too many square dances.They were just the proner caper, and yourg folks and old folks alike were satisfied.Truly 3 rare occurrence at gn charity ball.Quivron's orchestra we all that could be sehed Crehestra was Here is the programme &f dances: .Waltz #.Ia, Perle de I'Ocean .Saucers +.0.oo.Welcome Elliott .TwWo-svep \u201cNay, sir, we are neither of us mad, said the husband, voluble encugh now since his wife had spoken first, and therefore gone to shut the street door.Then with many gesticulations he told the man how it had all happened, and how he and his wife had been robbed of all their wedding finery, and reduced to a state of bezgary.; \u201cPoor fools!\u201d was all the police officer said, as he turned on his heels and went out, leaving the street door wide open for the second time!\u2014Annie C.Hyatt- Woolf.\u2014 e 2 è < Va Î ERALD\u2019S.| Legal Directory | & 6 ©?°° A.E.HARVEY, B.C.L., ADVOCATE, BARRISTER AND SOLICITOR, TEMI'LE BUILDING, ST.JAMES STRERT, MONTREAL.\u2018Phone Main 1868.S, W.JACOBS, ADVOCATE, BARRISTER AND SOLICITOR, for New Brunswick Nova Scotia.NEW YORK LIFE BUILDING, MONTREAL.LETTCH & PRINGLE, BARRISTERS, ATTORNEYS-AT-LAW, Salicitors in Chancery, Notaries Public, Etc, CORNWALL, ONT.Leith, Q.C.R.A.Pringle.Room 88.and Jas.GIBBONS, MULKERN & HARPEAR, BARRISTERS, SOLICITORS, ETC.Offica\u2014Cor.Richmond and Cariing Streets LONDON, ONT.Geo.C.Gibbons, Q.C.P.Mulkern, Fred.F.Harper.4 Fy L.G.GLASS, BARRISTER,SOLICITOR, COMMISSIONER Canada Life Building, 3rd Floor.MONTREAL.Teleph one, Main 316 BUCHAN, LAMOTHE & ELLIOIT, ADVOCATES, ETC, CANADA LIFE BLDG.139 ST.JAMES ST, MONTREAL.P.O.Box 474.FINLAYSON & GRANT Custom House Brokers, Forwarders and Watrehousemen Bell Tel.Main 1303.P.O.Box 424 LIGHTHALL & HARWCOD ADVOCATES.Chambers\u2014TFirst Flat City and District Bank Building, 1 80ST.JAMES STREHT, MONTREAL THE Canadian Colored Cotton Miils Co.Cottonades.Tickings.Denims, Awnings, Shirfings, Flanneletées, Ginghams, Zephyrs, skirtings, Dress Goods, Lawns, Cotions iankets, Angolas, Yarns, ete, Gniy Wholesale Trade Supplied, D.Morrice, Sons & Co.\u2014AGENTS\u2014 Montreal and Torente.Pri Ü @ We believe MINARD\u2019S LINIMENT is the best.Matthias Foley, O!l City, Ont.Jcseph Snow, Norway, Me.Chas.Whooten, Mulgrave, N.S.Rev.R.0.Armstrong, Mulgrave, N.S.Pierre Landry, senr., Pokemouche.N.B.Thomas Wasson, Sheffield.N.B.F A Pa er ea à AT si A 4 a vs PEA a ; + Japanese Tea Room.Manicure.Facial Massage, Hair Dressing and Shaimpooing Rooms.Facial Massage and Hair Treatment at Private Residences.174 PEEL STREET, (opposite Bigh School) Hours 9 a.m.to1l p.m.Not open Sunday Telephone Uptown 2106.Molson & Bros.Ale and Porter Brewers.Have always on hand the various kinds of.-.-+svow and New Vork service, Calling at LONDONDERRY (from Now Pler, foot of W.1st Street, New Yorz;.\u2014\" \u2014 From From Glasgow.Steamship New York, 1 Dec.ASSYRIAN .RARE 22 Deo 9Dec.NORWEGIAN .20) 14 Dec .ORMISTON -.vovvvenrninnnnn.5J Rates\u20141st Cabin, $47.25; return tickets, $90, Serond Cabin, to Glasgow or Londonderry, $32.50; return tickets, $61.75.Steerage, $23 50, The Steamships Mongolian and State af Nebraska are not surpassed for excellent accommddation for all classes of passengers.The Saloons are forward; Staterooms neap the centre of the ship.Promenade deck tha entire width of the vessel, and two-thirds of the length.Electric lights throughout, and electric bells in every stateroom.Liverpool, St.Johns, Halifax and Philadelphin Mail service.il 7 = = = 3g se 283 oun 45 o3 £33 goo Nl: O rm EAMSHIPS DE, oS 1 re EE gps Qe Ey D ea = À ME Pa Fes A52 7 Dec.19 Dec.SIBERTAN .3!

The manner in which \u201cAdam-zad, the bear that looks like a man.\u201d disfigured the face of the hunter isn\u2019t a circumstance compared to the careless fashion in which the Russian bear is tearing holes in the face of the Chinese Empire.The bear against which Kipling has warned England has put his paw into the beehive of the Orient, and the 1ichness of the honey has incited him te put it in a little further each year.He has appropriated Port Arthur and Dalien-Wan, and now dominates the route to New- Chwang and Tient-sin.He has secured control of the vrojeated railway from Poking to Hankow, and will also finance the New- Chang Rai'way.His ultimate purpose is ahsolute domination of northern China to the exclusion of Great Britain and the United States.Not satisfied with appropriating the ground from under the mandarins, Adam-zad is selling the trusting orientals the implements for their own destruction.With outstretrhed arms he is alluring the heathen Chinee to his seductive embrace and placing in his unskilled hands a weapon of defence that will kick to death the tirst Mongolian that uses it.According to the latest despatches Russia has just sold 500,000 obsolete Berdan rifles to Ch'na at a big price through the Russo-Chinese Bank.Viceroy Tan of Canton is ordered from Peking to pay for them at the rate of 5 tacls per rifle and 12 taels\u2019 per 1,000 cartridges.Manchu troops throughout the empire are be armed .with these ancient \u201cfusees\u201d that are not much better than the flintlocks with which the continental troops tried to hold Bunker Hin.This is what \u201cAdam-zad\u201d is doing with the heathen Chinee.If Russia on al enough of these rifles to China to enable the army of the Emperor to completely obliterate itself the business of dismemberment will commence, and China will be carved into slices to suit the fastidious fancy of \u201c\u201cAdam-zad, the bear that looks 2 like a man._\u2014\u2014 Would Make the Dervishes Howl, (Boston Journal.)

Senate the following pratest against the appropriation of the Crown lands of Hawaii by the United States: To the Senate of the United tSates: I, Liliuokatani, of Hawaii, named heir- apparent on the 10th of April, 1877, and proclaimed Queen of the Hawaiian Islands on the 20th dav of January, 1891, do here by earnestly and respec fully protest against the assertion of ownership by the United States of America of the so-called Hawaiian Crown lands, amounting to about 1,000,000 acres, and which are -my property; and lespecidlly protest against such assertion of ownership as a taking of property withgut due process of law and without just or other compensation.Therefore, supplementing my protest of June 17,, 1897, I call upon the President and the Nationa.Legisœture, and the people of the United totes, to do justice in this matter and to resbore to me the property, the enjoyment of which is being withheld by me from your Government, under what must be a misapprehension of my rigiut and tutic.(Signed) Liliuokalani.-_ Detroit Was Chosen.Kansas City, Mo, Dec.21.\u2014At yesterday's session of the American Federation of Labor Letroit was seected as the next place of meeting over Louisvilie, Atlanta and Cleveiand.The following officers were elected without opposution: Samuel Gompers, president; P.J.McGuire, Phiiadel- phia, first vice-president; James Duncan, Baitimore, second vice-president; James O'Connell, Chicago, third vice-president.Mr.Gompers was esected unanimously.Much of the time of the convention was taken up in amending the constivution and broadening the scope of the organization.Among ovoer amendments to the constitution was that increasing the per capita tax of members of the organized unions from three-quarters to five cents per month.This increase was opposed by President Gampers, but was upheid by a majority of the desegaittes, the increased funds being needed, they said, in pushing the added work of the Federation, wmapped out for the coming year._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Armenians Want to Come.Oktawa, Dee.21.\u2014Rev.Father Jiron, an I'men.an priest, was a guest at the Archbishop\u2019s residence yesterday.He is
