present.The president, Mr.F.S.Maclen- nan, presided.During the evening speeches were delivered by the Hon.MR.F.S.MAILENNAN, President of the Sir John A.Macdonald Club.A.W.Atwater, the Hon.A.W.Morris, ex-Ald.D.A.McCord and others.The following officers were elected: \u2014 Sir Charles Tupper, hon.president; Sir Donald A.Smith and the Hon.A.W.Morris, hon.vice-presidents; Mr.F.S.Maclennan, president; D.A.McCaskill and M.C.Foley, vice-presidents; J.H.Jacobs, hon.secretary; Austin Mosher, treasurer; J.H.Walker, librarian; executive committee\u2014Donald Macmaster, Q.C., Joseph Horsfall, A.J.Whimbey,

candidature a \u2018Witness\u2019 reporter met that gentleman this morning and asked him if there was anything in the report of his candidature.He replied, \u2018It is true.Numbers have came to me on more than one occasion promising me support and asking me to accept the candidature.I always declined on thé ground that I felt there were other men more competent, better qualified, and by years of association with the people more entitled to the position than I.However, at present it seems as if there were an inclination to let the matter go by default.I am not prepared to publicly state the reasons that were given to me for such a course, but if those reasons are made public I am prepared to stand between the people uf that section and any slur that might be cast upon them as electors.I occupy a good position and it would be at the sacrifice of its opportunities that I enter the field.I am not anxious for thé candidature.Six years\u2019 \u2018experience in the House of Com- - \u2018 Eee comte rain ia Je EA VP ARR POURING OF TREPHINE & mons have taught me the difficulties of such a position.I would prefer to see a first-class man elected, and one who would be prepared to support his party on a general principle, but to use his intelligence in originating such legislation as would be for the benefit of the people individually and collectively.While a man may advocate the principles of a party he should be sufficiently independent to use all his efforts to make the party and its leaders accept his views instead of blindly accepting theirs.MR.PENNY\u2019'S MEETINGS.- Meetings of the Liberals of the St.Lawrence division will be held in Mr.Penny's committee rooms as follows: \u2014 Saturday, May 16, 8 p.m., at 206 Bleury street; Tuesday, May 19, same hour, at 209

expected that many people will avail themselves of the opportunity to hear the Opposition lc:der.\u2014 SE WESTMOUNT LIBERALS.The town of Westmount is up to date now, having formed a Liberal Club and

defence of the Dominion, it is stated here by good authority that a scheme of coast defence is now being prepared by a naval expert for submission to the Ottawa Government which involves the purchase or construction of several swift armed cruisers which will have headquarters at Halifax, their speed to be such that a day\u2019s run will carry them from this point to any point in the Bay of #undy or Cape Breton and enable them to outrun foreign clipper steamers plying to the Canadian ports.\u2018 .-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE COWARDLY SULTAN.Berlin, May 14.\u2014The \u2018Vossische Zei- tung\u2019 publishes a despatch from Constan- tinopls which says that owing to the Sultan\u2019s fear that he will be assassinated as was the Shah of Persia two thousand Armenians have been arrested in the city during the last few days.It is credibly stated that the prisoners have been cruelly tortured.Constantinople, May 15.\u2014As a result of the vigorous action of the foreign arh- bassadors and ministers the Porte has ordered that the enforced conversion of Chrstians to Islamism at Biredjik be stopped.The Sultan has ordered the withdrawal of the local troops at that place and the substitution of regular troops, and has also decreed that a commission proceed at once from Marash to Biredjik to arrange for the rebuilding of the mosque and the Christian church

authorized statement in the palace to-day: \u2014' Cap- tain-General Weyler has no prejudice whatever against American citizens as such, and if it were not apsolutely necessary to put a stop to fllibustering expeditions he would take real pleasure in pardoning the condemned prisoners from the \u2018 Competitor,\u201d foreigners as well as Spaniards, but as it is necessary to make an example of them he must perform his duty.Madrid, May 15.\u2014At a Cabinet Council held yesterday, the Duke of Tetuan, Minister of Foreign Affairs, was authorized to draft a formal remonstrance against the attitude of the United States in regard to Cuba, which will be presented to the government at Washington, and it is probable that Senor Dupuy de Lome, Spanish Minister at Washington, will also be instructed to protest personally against the policy being pursued by the United States Government.It was also decided that the government shall send forty thousand troops to Cuba in September.New York, May 15.\u2014A despatch to the \u2018Sun\u2019 from Havana, says:\u2014\u2018 The battle of Cacarajicara is now generally acknqw- ledged to have been a great defeat for the Spanish troops, and

de Lome, being shown this morning a despatch from Madrid asserting that the Spanish Government had authorized à formal remonstrance to be presented against the attitude of the United States in regard

any kind.Havana, May 15.\u2014Captain-General Weyler has issued a proclamation ordering the farmers and peasantry during the next twenty days to transport to the towns in their vicinity all the corn

Cienfuegos.THE CAISSON COLLAPSED.London, May 15.\u2014A serious accident occurred to.the new dock at Hull this morning which involved a loss of upwards of £100,000.The dock vras virtually completed and a caisson had been fixed at its entrance with the object of preventing the water flowing in.The caisson collapsed at high tide and the tide water flowing in from the old dock forced the vessels in the new dock adrift.The flow of water was so strong that none of the vessels could be controlled and their violent contact with one another soon reduced them to a mass of wreckage.\u2014\u2014\u2014 A

and this Council of Education governs our educational proceedings.It is outrageous.I would take up my gun too, like the ex-alderman.\u2019 This was the vehement utterance of a commercial traveller, who watches Quebec\u2019s progress in schools.\u2018If it were \u2018my paper, I would republish that column every day in \u2018black type, until it so ate into the hearts of Protestants that it} would shame them into a blow for liberty.Talk of coercing Manitoba in face of that sort of law.\u2019 The conversation will be reprinted tomorrow, and those who want copies should send word before the paper goes to press.re ODDFELLOWS IN TROUBLE.Cincinnati, Ohio, May 14.\u2014The Oddfel- lows\u2019 Temple Company assigned this morning.Assets, $550,000;

electors for Sir Charles Tupper and Mr.Hugh John Macdonald which was telegraphed from Winnipeg in such unmeasured phrases and dilated on by Sir Charles Tupper on his arrival in Montreal as he glowingly poured his exhilarating triumphs into the willing ear of a \u2018Gazette\u2019 reporter, seems to have evaporated, notwithstanding the additional rallway which Sir Charles threw in after he left them as a princely potentate sends back largess from the first stage of his journey to be scrambled for by the retainers of his host.The \u2018Gazette\u2019s\u2019 own Winnipeg correspondent, himself no longer under the witchery of those magnetic personalities, telegraphs that while Mr.Martin suffers from the difficulties which he has set forth, \u2018Mr.Macdonald is weighed down by his support to the obroxious remeäial bill, so that both candidates carry handicaps.\u201d rs ST.LAWRENCE DIVISION.The Liberals are booming Mr.Greenshields as an opponent of Mr.Atwater, but we presume that Mr.4 Greenshields is too astute to get into such a contest.He would no doubt get the vote of those Liberals, if such there are in the division, who do not want to see an English-speaking min- | ister in the government or to see the treasurership in the hands of a representative of the business community of Montreal, but he would get very cold support from those who do, however strong their party ties.Such a contest would not strengthen but weaken the Liberal party in the national elections.Mr.Atwater has certainly in his capacity of government prosecutor done vigorous and effective service for the cause of morals.He was the chosen of the Gaod Government Association as their champion in the recent civic elections, and after three or four months in the Council still enjoys the good will of those who sent him there.At the same time, we cannot regard Mr.Atwater\u2019s position in the ministry as the representative of the minority as satisfactory.From confederation until Mr.Mercier came in in 1887 the Protestants were always represented by two ministers with portfolios.Mr.Mercier had no Protestant supporters, and could therefore nat find Protestants for his ministry who would add any strength to itt.When Mr.De Boucherville succeeded he recognized the fairness of the former state of things.He gave Mr.Hall a portfolio and took in Mr.McIntosh with the promise of one.Mr.Hall used to say that he only accepted office on those conditions.Is it because Mr.Hall was true to the minority, irrespective of his own interests, and even when his party was false to them, that he seems to have been cast aside by his party ?Mr.Teillon, when he succeeded Mr.De Boucherville, made the same pro- \u2018mises to Mr.Hall and Mr.Mcintosh, and even when Mr.Hall left the ministry the minority were represented by Mr.Hackett with portfolio and Mr.Morris without, such as they were.Thus for a good while we have, instead of two ministers, had a minister and a half, and now we have a minister without the half.We are getting to be thankful for small -mercies.The minority are being gradually edged out of all say in the affairs of this province.By-and-by, like the Armenians in Turkey, their only share will be to pay the taxes.ce JUDGE OUIMET.Mr.Ouimet has decided that the present time is a favorable one in which to retire from political life, and he has consequently accepted an aprointment to the bench.This will be a surprise.to those who have watched Mr.Ouimet\u2019s career.He was generally understood to be a man of wealth, for whom office or political reward of any kind had no attractions, and who sought merely to serve his French-Canadian compatriots.He was understood to be devoted to their service in the matter of remedial legislation, and pledged his existence as a minister that the bill would be passed by the government.He, with Sir Adolphe \u2018Caron, resigned with Mr.Angers, but he and Sir Adolphe went back, when Mr.Angers refused to go.When Mr.Chepleau refused to accept office under Sir Charles Tupper and Mr.Angers was called upon by Sir Charles in his extremity, Mr.Angers would accept only on condition that he be allowed to choose his colleagues from this province.8ir Charles was not in a position to refuse, though he probably knew the import of Mr.Angers's condition, and when Mr.Angers named bis colleagues it was found that both Sir Adolphe Caron and Mr.Ouimet had been turned down.Mr.Ouimet declared his intention of remaining in parliament and running for Laval, and he an- tered on his campaign.Whether it was intimated to him that Mr.Angers would rather have some other candidate in Laval, or whether he found that he was likely to be defeated, or whether for some other reason, he has changed his mind and withdrawn, and has accepted a judgeship.If Mr.Ouimet preferred a continuation of remunerative and dignified office to an uncertain tenure in political life, he has chosen wisely.His retirement weakens the Tupper government in this province; such withdrawals on the eve\u2018 of an election are a distinct discouragement, us they indicate that even the ex-min- % we = pe isters are convinced of the weakness of the Tupper government and of their probable defeat.Mr.Ouimet was a very much more moderate man than Mr.Angers.At a political meeting in Ontario a few months ago he declared that the Roman Caire olic minority of Manitoba would be satisfied if Mr.Greenway gave them not separate schools but meraly the right to give religious instruction in the schools attended by Roman Cath- \u2018olies.It is partly, perhaps, Lecause of his moderation that he has been driven from the ministry to make room for the Ultramontanes.Mr.Ouimet has been spoken of as having as a lawyer a sound judicial mind such as should make him an ornament\u2019 to the benck, as he will certainly be in appearance.ret WILL THEY PROCLAIM A JIHAD?According to an apparently authorized despatch which comes from \u2018I'o- ronto, Archbishop Walsh of that city is strongly opposed to the proposed Joint mandement of the bishops on the Manitoba school question in favor of the Tupper government.The reasons given for the archbishop\u2019s wise action are as applicable in the Province of Quebec as in the Province of Ontario.If the bishons\u2019 mandate is a declaration of a religious war, as he justly declares, then it should not be proclaimed in the Province of Quebec any more than in the Province of Ontario.For the bishops of Quebec to proclaim it in the Province of Quebec, when their coadjutors of Ontario refuse to proclaim it because it means war, wculd amount to the Roman Catholic Church going to war in the Pro- virce of Quebec ægainst the Protestants because it is strong in this province, while avoiding war in the Pro- virce of Ontario because it is weak there.-Apart from the cowardliness of this course, it has the objection of being futile, for if the bishops of Rome declare war in the Province of Quebec the Protestants of the other provinces of the Dominion will of course spring to arms.Archbishop Walsh's condemnation of the document as a declaration of religious \u2018war is the strongest possible \u2018condemnation of the proposed mandate and of the bishops\u2019 course in this province.It is a condemnation of the bargain between Sir Charles Tupper and the bishops for the sale of the French Catholic vote of this province as the price of remedial legislation.If this disgraceful deal goes through and the bishops\u2019 mandement is actually issued, the Roman Catholic Church will have no reason for surprise if it finds that they who appeal to the sword shall perish by the sword.Mr.Laurier and Sir Oliver Mcwat might find it very much more difficult to persuade Mr.Greenway and the people of the Province of Manitoba to make concessions if the whole country is aroused and rendered hostile by the proclamation of Jihad.There is another reason tor not issuing the mandate, which Archbishop Walsh no doubt partially appreciates, although he cannot so well refer to it, and that is that it would cause an overt schism within the Church, which would destroy, probably forever, its control over a large portion of its adherents.Wars are often proclaimed to restore wavering loyalty by the united enthusiasm which they evoke, but in this case the war would be really against the convictions and best aspirations of many Roman Catholics, and its effect on their allegiance would be the reverse of favorable.pes THE HUDSON'S BAY RAILWAY, When Sir Charles Tupper addresses the people of Montreal this evening he will be expected to demonstrate tc them the advisability ot spending twenty or thirty millions of dollars upon the construction of the Hudson\u2019s Bay railway, which, if successful, would take away the business eastern Canada, and especially from the Canadian Pacific Railway and the port of Montreal.He will be expected to tell the people of Montreal why, after spending a hundred millions on the construction of the Canadian Pacific to bring the trade this way, they should spend twenty or thirty millions more to make that railway useless and to rob themselves of the trade.The people of eastern Canada should not be called upon to of Manitoba and the North-West from\u2019 expend millions to their own injury.But even if Sir Charles Tupper could achieve the impossible and make it plain that eastern Canada shôuld build the Hudson's Bay railway he will have a second and more impossible task before him, namely, to convince them tkat the Hudson\u2019s Bay route is a feasible one.He will have to show that it would pay to build the road at a cost of twenty or thirty millions ,snd that it would be possible, were the road built, to establish à steamship service between a Hudson's Bay port and Great Britain.Every one knows that there are, to say the least, grave doubts whether a steamship service could be main- taired for even five or six weeks on an average each year by this route.If the Hudson\u2019s Bay route was not impracticable it may be taken for granted that it would long since have been opened up, so manifest are its advantages in the way of saving distance in the matter of both land and\u2019 ocean carriage between the fertile grain fields of north-western Canada and the markets of Europe.One has only to turn a globe and glance at the relative positions of Winnipeg and York Factory on Hudson's Bay, and Liverpool, as compared with those of Winnipeg and Montreal or New York and Liverpool, and then to note the great rivers, the Nelson and two Saskatche- wans, which, with Lake Winnipeg and the Assiniboine and Red rivers, seem to afford waterways from the very base of the Rocky Mountains all through the fertile belt, to have a splendid vision of argosies of golden grain and rich merchandise sailing to and fro over the whole route without let or hindrance, to the enrichment of the people of Canada and of England.But the vision is only a vis- icu, which is dispelled by hard facts.The Nelson and Hayes rivers are ob- strueted about every ten or fifteen miles or so by unnavigable rapids or rocky obstructions, which make portages necessary even for large canoes, and render it difficult for the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company to bring its supplies by that route.Therefore the necessity of the railway if wheat is to reach Hudsou\u2019s Bay, though such magnificent-looking watercourses are already there.But the navigation of Hudson's Bay has been found as difficult by the Hudson's Bay Company as the navigation of the rivers flowing into it.For a hundred years the company has sent one or two ships a year from England to their principal ports on Hudson's Bay, namely, Moose Factory, at the head of James Bay, and York Factory, at the mouth of the Nelson river.Their records show that the bay is open four or five months in the year, but that Hudson Straits, between the Labrador peninsula and Baffin\u2019s Land, are not open on an average for more than four or five weeks in the year.Some years the straits are open for two or three months; some years they are not open longer than two or .three weeks, and moreover, there is a great deal of uncertainty and irregularity about the period of open water in the straite.Steamships could, of course, be rushed through during the two weeks or two months the straits were open, but there wpuld have to be a big fleet ofv them to accomplish much even in the longest season of open water in the straits, and the detentions ana delays would be ruinous at the beginning and end of that short season.Then for nine or ten months thc steamships would be idle or would have to be employed upon other routes for which they would probably prove uneconomical, as for Hudson's Bay navigation they would have to be of special construction to fit them for battling with ice, as navigation is difficult and dangerous at the best of times.As the straits are open only in July and August, Manitoba wheat to go by this route would have to be stored for about a year.The railway would also, of course, be comparatively idle during the eight or nine months of the year, Sir John Macdonald's government equipped an expedition to Hudson's Bay to determine the question of the feagibility of the route.The expedition itself found it difficult to get through Hudson Straits, and had not time in one short season to determine the question, though its reports were all distinctly unfavorable and dis- SE UN Ci Ay A AL Te apes 2] 00 couraging.Another

enquiries regarding the summer camp.They now have some pleasing announcements to make.The first is that a party will go to St.Agathe on May 24 to make arrangements for the camp, as to transportation and accommodation.Then the cost of a sojourn in the camp this year will be very much less than it was last year, and last, but not least, it is now definitely known that Mr.Brown, the Y.M.C.A.culinary artist, will serve this year's camping parties.Anyone who has been to camp where Mr.Brown officiated, knows that with his hand at the porridge pot, the prospects for breakfast are always bright.The camp will be open during July and August.he junior department will be in full possegsion during the first two weeks July.Senior members may arrange to of at any time during the following seven weeks.It is probable that the number who will visit the camp this year will be far greater than any of the previous years.This would be the natural effect of the enthusiasm with which those who had been there describe the place to their friends.The camp is situated on a large lake dotted with islands and flled in some places with the gamest salmon trout.he country is mountainous, and is spotted with Jakes.large and small, hidden away in deep valleys and surrounded by almost impenetrable bush.The natural advantages of the place combined with the jolly life and sports of the Y.M.C.A.camp, make a summer paradise for a young man\u2019s holiday.THE PENTATHLON CONTESTS.The Y.M.C.A.athletic department has | prepared some more pentathlon (pronounced by the boys \u2018pantaloon\u2019')

PHENACETINE.Beneath the cleverly fitted false bottom of a trunk which a Chinaman presented for examination to the local United States customs officers at the Bonaventure station on Tuesday was found some thirty-six pounds fo phenace- tine.Mr.McGuire called on Mr.Twohey, when he made the discovery, and to that gentleman John Chinaman stated that it was Chinese flour and that he wanted the trunk shipped to New York.This was done in the usual way in the hope of catching the shipper, but the average Celestial is too smooth to be caught in that way and he did not accompany his property, therefore the United States Treasury agent at Plattsburg did not make the capture.Subsequently it was ascertained that three well known China- men sre concerned in the matter.ee WHICH IS BEST ?A

HOUR.\u2014_\u2014 The National Council of Women Condemns Excessive Hours of Labor in Factories.\u2014 THE INCREASE OF INSANITY.EFFORT TO HAVE PRESENT HOURS AMENDED.AN Owing to a great press of business the morning session of the conference of the National Council of Women of Canada opened to-day at half-past nine o'clock.The discussion upon the report of the sub-committee on the length of working hours for women and children was resumed.Captain Sinclair spoke for some time giving his experience and observations regarding short hours of labor.He furnished instances in which a reduction of hours of labor had resulted in no reduction in the amount of work turned In his opinion the yet been out by the workers.shortest labor day bad not reached even from the standpoint of pro- Ét to the employer.The longest day was not the most profitable to employer or employed.He believed that even less than eight hours might be found to be the most profitable length of a day's work.; i altogeiher about twenty ladies took part iu ihis discussion.The report - cluded several amendments to the main recommendation ancl on these there were divisions but the main report was adopted.iL cou-aincd recomendations to the ioral councils whereby the National Council will be placed in possession of a full knowledge ot all the facts concerning the workers in all the factories of the Dominion.An amendment was carried to the effect that the following resolution be adopted with the report: \u2018That a petition be presented to the Local Legislature of Ontario requesting them to amend the Factory act, and the act for the protection of persons employed in piaces of business other than factories, by striking out the clause limiting the places included to those employing at least five persons,\u2019 It was moved by Mrs.Archibald, seconded by Mrs.Wood, \u2018That the National Council of Women of Canada believing that the true wealth of the community lies in the welfare in mind and body of {ts workers, condemns the present excessive daily hours of labor in factories, end again affirms its intention to work for their reduction.\u2019 The session then proceeded to the passing of the resolutions proposed by the different local councils.It was moved by Mrs.Rielle, Montreal, seconded by Mrs.McEwan of Brandon, and passed after amendment: \u201cThat in view of the sufferings endured by women and children in the North- West Territories and in outlying districts of Canada from want of proper medical aid, the National Council of Women of Canada desires respectfully to ask the Dominion Government and the Provincial Governments to take the matter into their earnest consideration and to take steps to remedy the present state of things.And that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Premier and Min- {ster of the Interior and to the Premiers of the provinces.Also that the local councils of the North-West be requested to suggest some practical scheme whereby medical aid and nursing may be extended to those districts.Such scheme to be submitted to the executive and by them submitted to the Premier and the Minister of the Interior, and to the premiers of the provinces.\u2019 The ladies speaking to this resolution told of a fearful state of affalrs in the North-West owing to the scarcity of doctors and hospitals.One of the stories was that of a young man who had to leave his wife absolutely alone while he went thirty miles for a doctor to attend her.When he returned with the doctor he found the young mother and a young child dead.It was then moved by Mrs.Cummings, seconded by Mrs.McEwan of Brandon, and carried unanimously: That local councils be urged to spread among their members, so far as they can, a knowledge of some of the preventable causes of the present increage of in- ganity, which is such a deep cource of sorrow to thousands of our countrymen and women.\u2019 The mover, Mrs.Cummings, cited facts and figures proving that insanity is on the increase.Authorities were quoted regarding the causes and preventive measures which might be taken.A numerous class ignorant or careless of the physical and moral causes which proluce insanity, have brought the malady upon themselves.A motion which caused a good deal of discussion was as follows: \u2018That an effort be made by the National Council of Women of Canada to have some amendment made in the present law for the commitment of those of the insane and imbecile who are now treated like criminals and sent to jails, where a long time usually elapses before they can receive expert medical treatment, tbus lessening the chance of their recovery.\u201d This motion was opposed by the Montreal council.Mrs.Penhallow and Mrs.Gsorge Drummond explained their action.The ladies of the Montreal council before taking actlon had fully investigated the question.They had found that there was really no fault with the law itself.Insane persons taken up by the police were taken up as vagrants and had to he sent to jail as vagrants while their examination and commitment papers were being made out.The present law was in no way to be blamed for this and that the resolution is illogical.This was, of course, as regards Montreal and the Province of Quebec.If in Ontario insane persons were detained in jall for as much as a year before being transferred to an asylum it was because the asvlums were ovarcrowded.Mrs.Cummings, the mover of tbe resolution, held æo her point being sure that the law of Ontario was Just as the resolution stated.' = \u20ac REVUE Pp DE Shy pl SE

the Douglas Memorial Church to hear the Rev.Mr.Hammond yesterday afternoon.A great many brought their dolls, and it was a strange sight to see them hurrying along to the church with dolls big ana little and in all sorts of costumes.These dolls were crowded around the platform till there was no room for any more.Mr.Hammond's address consisted of Gospel truth illustrated by stories about dolls.He showed first of all that Christ had loved each one and died in their stead, and that everyone in return should love him.He told the story of a little girl who sald she loved her dollie but her dollie did not love her back.No, she said, dolls have sawdust hearts, and how can they love back.Jesus could complain the same of some of those present.He loved them, died in their stead, bore their punishment, but some of them did not love him in return.Three or four hundred children have professed conversion in these meetings.The names of some have been taken and will be sent to their pastors.Ministers who are in touch with the work, testify daily to the great good that is being done.So deep\u2019 was the interest at last evening's meeting in Douglas Church, that it was impossible to close until half- past ten.Mr.J.Ritchie Bell was present and sang a solo most touching in its sweetness; testifying also to having been converted in Mr.Hammond's meetings of years ago.This afternoon and evening Mr.Hammond will continue the meetings in Douglas Church.To-morrow morning he will speak at the hall, 2424 St.Catherine street, for half-an-hour, from 9.30 to ten o'clock.At three p.m.there will be a grand rally of the Junior Christian Endeavor Union of Montreal, which will be Mr.Hammond\u2019s closing meeting in Douglas Church.All the societies are expected to attend in full force.At eight p.m.he will speak in the St.James Methodist Church, and on Sunday afternoon there will be a grand mass meeting in the auditorium of Knox Church, which will he attended by the various Sunday-schools in the locality.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A LARGE ELECTRIC CONTRACT.The Lachine Hydraulic and Land Company has given the contract for the twelve seven hundred and fifty K.W.machines.to the Canadian General Electric Company.Dr.Cary T.Hutchinson was their consulting electrical expert, and gave his advice for a three-phase system, which was accepted by the company, whose directors have also appointed Dr.Hutchinson their electrical expert.Among the competitors for the contract were the Siemens Company of London, Siemens, Holske, of Berlin, Germany); Canadian General Electric Company of Peterboro and Schenectady, the Westinghouse Company of Pittsburg, the Royal Electric Company of Montreal and the United Electric Company of Philadelphia.Six of the machines are to be running by Nov.1.Before giving the contract the Lachine Company secured a fair price for motors, thus guarding the interests of the consumers.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 IN MEMORIAM.At the opening of the Court of Appeal this morning Chief Justice Sir Alexander Lacoste referred to the death of the late Mr.L.W.Marchand, in the following terms: \u2018The Court takes this the first occasion offered to express its deep regret for the demise of its lamented clerk \u2014the late Mr.Marchand\u2014and to offer its sympathies to his bereaved family.If ever there was a model official it was certainly Mr, Marchand.His talents, love of work and aptitudes fitted him for a more exalted position, but he was a modest and humble man and preferred his quiet position in life.This court can bear testimony that he fulfilled his duties to the fullest extent possible, and in doing so he deserved the gratitude of his fellow citizens.\u2019 a 0 SIR DONALD SMITH'S DEPARTURE.Sir Donald Smith will leave this evening for London at 6.30 o'clock, going from the G.T.R.depot.Sir Donald goes at this time not so much because of the pressure of business from his duties as High Commissioner, as because of the conference on the cable question, which is of so much importance to Canada at | the present moment.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE COURT OF APPEAL.The May term of the Court of Appeal opened this morning with Chief Justice Sir Alexander Lacoste and Judges Bossé, Blanchet and Wurtele on the bench.It had been arranged that Judge Baby would be present but the hon.judge having since tendered his resignation, which bas been accepted, the tribunal, as composed this morning, only included four judges, and as there are important law points in the dliferent cases on the roll it was thought advisable to adjourn the court until to-morrow, when Judge Hall will be present.A FIRE ON GREY NUN STREET.At half-past two this afternoon fire broke out in the one and

consequently a health officer was instructed to go out aad inspect the place.He did so, and reported to Dr.Laberge, city medical health officer, this morning, that the place was simply a shed containing about thirty beds and a long table, and that from a sanitary standpoint it was in a pretty bad condition.On hearing this report Dr.Laberge said to a \u2018Witness\u2019 reporter that he would have to take steps to have this place put in a sanitary condition.It is within the city limits, and being a habitation must conform to the law regarding habitations.The following letter was sent to the Mayor to-day by Messrs.King- man, Brown & Co., in reference to the Italians employed by the Dominion Coal Company : R.Wilson-Smith, 'Esq., Mayor of Montreal, y: Dear Sir \u2014In reply to your inquiries, we beg to state that the Dominion Coal Company at present employs, in connection with its coal business in Montreal, some three hundred men, ail of whom are Canadian born or resident.with the exception of twenty Italians and their foremen.of these Italians four have been resident in Canada ten years and over, eight have been here five years and over, nine have be:n here two years and over, and none are new comers.Five of them are householders in the city.and the number of Italians now in the employ of the company is less than last year.The Dominion Coal! Company has never made any reduction in the wages of its coal shovellers, and are now paying the highest rates that have at any time been current in this harbor, viz.: Thirty cents per hour for day work, and thirty-five cents per hour for night work, also paying for suppers in addition.These wages are from ten cents to fifteen cents per hour higher than paid by the regular ocean nes.Owing to the rapid discharge of steamers by the company\u2019s machinery, it is often necessary to call for laborers at various hours throughout the night, and men frequently finish their work at 2 or 3 .0'clock in the morning.In order to have the men within easy reach at these irregular hours, and for their convenience and shelter both day and night, the company has erected temporary quarters on its premises at Wellington Basin, but no meals are furnished.nor is it the company's intention to board its men.You will see that it would be manifestly unjust for the company to discharge without cause any men who have faithfully done their work in the past.but.as suggested by you, the company will endeavor to of Montreal, and, so far as possible, from works.Yours respectfully, KINGMAN.BROWN & CO.etme A

\u2018Ocean\u2019 will leave for Toronto and Hamilton every Tuesday evening at seven o'clock.Every Wednesday evening at seven o'clock the steamers \u2018Cuba\u2019 and \u2018Melbourne\u2019 will alternately leave for Toronto, and they are also the regular boats for London, Ont.running to Fort Stanley and connecting with the Lake Erie and Detroit Railway for London.Last year the lease of the Grand Trunk Railway of this road expired, and the policy of the Lake Brie and Detroit road, as far as London business is concerned, is totally different from that pursued by the Grand Trunk Railway.The present lessees of the road are encouraging a boat connection which is being greatly appreciated by the merchants of London, both as regards passenger and freight traftic, and for the first time in twenty years they are now able to have a boat connection.The \u2018Cuba\u2019 has arranged for an excursion on the Queen\u2019s birthday from London to Cleveland.The citizens of London so appreciate their chances that they have already secured every berth.London is a city of 40,000 inhabitants, and is thirty miles inland, and this is the first season that they have had an opportunity for enjoying a long run by water, The steamer \u2018Persia\u2019 leaves Montreal for St.Catharines and Toronto this evening at seven o'clock.eva GAS SLOT METERS.Complaints having been made that the Montreal Gas Company was not supplying gas by meter slot machines at $1.05, as per their contract, a \u2018Witness\u2019 reporter called at the company\u2019s office this morning and was informed that the company had already three hundred of the meters out and expected a large supply of them from England next week.They had no more of the meters on hand, and that was why certain orders for them had not been filled.All persons paying a rental of not over $150 per year are entitled to get gas through these meters for cooking and lighting purposes.Only two illuminating jets are allowed at this rate.The gas is got by dropping a 26-cent plece into the meter, which then is ready ; to measure out that amount of gas.STOR Ws E aw ATR Nb AE ir SA E fill vacancies as they occur with

West Hartlepool, England, the biggest importer of eggs in the world, interviewed the heads of the Department of Agriculture to-day with a view to developing the Canadian egg industry.Mr.Robinson imports between two and three hundred million eggs into Great Britain every year.At present he depends upon Russia for his supply, but as that country is very large and means of transportation are inferior, Russian eggs are of an inferior quality frequently when they reach the London market.Mr.Robinson believes that with our facilities of transport, Canada should prove an admirable field for the development of the egg business.: -\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CANADIAN PATROLLING FLEET.Halifax, N.S., May 156.\u2014The Dominion Government steamers \u2018Acadia,\u2019 \u2018Alberta,

BEFORE THE BROCKVILLE DAIRYMEN'S BOARD OF TRADE.THE GOVERNMENT CHARGED WITH BEING RE- BPONSIBLE FOR THE POOR PR-* \"© nFATTZ® LAST YEAR.Brockville, Ont, May 14.\u2014%%.~mrilig meeting for the scason of the Brockville Dairymen's Board of Trade, held here today, was well attended, both by factorymen and buyers.Among those present weie Messrs.J.G.Warrington.A.A.Grant and W.T.Ware, of Montreal.The gentlemen all spoke, and Mr.Grant gave his views as to the reasons for the low prices obtained for cheese last season.This.he contended was largely due to the fact that cheese wus no longer a staple food in England.Tt came irto competition with other and cheaper food products, and these were very largely imported from various countries.He was of the opinion that lew prices for cheese had come to stay.Mr.Warringten said that to-day first class Canadian cheese was selling retail in England at 10 ceats per pcurd.Mr.Ware, in the course of his remarks, said that cher~se was lower in England to-day than ever before in its history.It was low.too, in Canada.and in his opinion, two causes could be assigned for this fact.The first was that cheese last year came into competition with other products which were very cheap.The second, and the principal cause why the cheese producers of Canada received less for their product than they should have received.was due to the iniquitous action of the Dominion Dairy Commissioner in holding 25.000 boxes of Prince Edward Island cheese as a wet blanket over the business of the year.This was the reason, and there was no gainsaying it why the farmers had been obliged to take such a low price for their cheese as it had taken at least 3 a cent per pound out of every factory man in this section.It was all right, he sald for the government to foster the cheese, industry in a legitimate wav.but when they went Into direct competition with the trade it was nothing short of iniquitous.There was no use of the government trying to shirk the question of purchase as some of the cheese had not yet been paid for, and suits for payment were now being threatened.Mr.Derbyshire defended the policy of the government regarding the Prince Edward Island cheese.He contended that this cheese did not come in competition with that from Ontario.He also defended the bonus to butter maker3, and said that he considered it the best spent money ever advanced by the government.He hoped they would also carry out the proposed cold sto- rege scheme, by which butter could be sent across the ocean in better shape.Mr.M.K.Evert strongly repudiated the statements made by Mr.Derbyshire as to the butte: bonus, and asked if it had been a good thing, why was Canadian creamery butter selling to-day in Montreal for 14 cents?Mr.Derbyshire contended that 20 cents had been paid up to Arril 24.Mr.Gecrge Tavlor, Gananoque, then took the platform in defence of the government's action in bonusing the Prince Edward Island cheese makers, ard said it bad simply acted as a banker would act in the matter, It had been decided to assist the Island makers in snme way, and $40.000 was voted without opposition with that object in view.The dairy eommissioners said trat if the goods did not go forward at once, the government could make an advance on them until sold.Down at the eastern end of the Island, the cheese had been held, and of the advanca made, every dollars was paid back, and the people of the province had suffered no loss.Mr.Cluff was surprised tp hear Mg.Taylor talking about something he evidently knew nothing about, and trying to fool the public.The Prince Edward Island cheese had had a bad effect on the Canadian cheese market in England, When in England recently he had met Mr.Hodgson trying to sell their cheese for the Dominion Government.They were never sold to Mr.Hodgson, but were given to him on consignment.Mr.Hodgson was doing his best to sell the cheese, and in order to do so, was underrelling others in the trade.He could tell them that those in the cheese trade in England did not feel at all kindly toward Mr.Robertson.The butter bonus business was rot clear through.The high price scare was on account of scarcity, not because of the bonus by which the gove- ernment bought butter at twenty cents and sold it at fourteen cents.The Prince Edward Island chrese business was not settled yet.He had seen to-day a letter from Professor Robertson, which satisfied him it was not.Professor Robertson was acting in a very peculiar manner regarding cold storage on the steamers.In his arrangements on behalf of the government for cold storage in steamships, he had excluded Mr.arrington from using it on account of some little difficulty he had had with him.The whole system adopted by the government was rotten clear through.THE MAY FESTIVAL.The Floral Coach which, as well as the ice cream and cake table, is to be in charge of the ladies of tha American Presbyterian Church, is expected to be one of the most attractive features of the May Festival.A bevy of young ladies will be ready to welcome guests at the coach and sell to them the useful and ornamental arficles of paper which are so necessary for the adornment of summer homes.A HEAVY ACTION.An action for ten thousand dollars damages has been entered by J.Lapointe against - the Montreal Street Railway Company.The plaintiff was carting snow from St.Denis street, when

TRANSVAAL.\"(Milwaukee \u2018Wisconsin.\u2019) Frederick R.Lingham, formerly of \u2018West Superior, is one of the fifty-two men convicted of complicity in the recent uprising in the Transvaal and sentenced by President Kruger to a fine of $10,000 besides imprisonment for two years and banishment from the country for three years.\u2018Mr.Lingham was a member of the Johannesburg Reform Club, which association had for its objects the inducement of reform in the manner of government.The club is said to have taken some part in the uprising, but Mr.Lingham himself claims to have been friendly to the Government.His idea was to bring about an amicable settlement of the differences existing between President Kruger and the Uitland- ers, but the uprising came unexpectedly and after it came the arrest of all supposed to be connected in any way with the movement.The outcome of the matter will be, in Mr.Lingham'\u2019s case, that he will suffer a great financial loss besides the ten thousand-dollar fine imposed.For several years previous to the recent disturbance, he had been reaping the fruits of a valuable franchise granted to his company by the Transvaal Government.The concession was in the nature of a permit to use the Government railway for the transportation of jumber from Delagoa Bay to the interior markets, and as the lack of available timber in the Transvaal made it necessary to import the product from Puget Sound, the rail concession enabled him to control the lumber market of the country.It is said that the concession was worth $100,000 in cash; that the Government offered to pay Mr.Lingham that sum of money for a relinquishment of the same, but he declined the offer, only to be deprived of the right without consideration a few months later.F.R.Lingham is a Canadian by birth and an American by continued residence in this country.He went West from Belleville, Ontario, and became connected with the Powder River Cattle Company, which corporation established its headquarters at Superior in 133%.He acted in the capacity of manager for the company during the following threa years, after which the concern suspended operations and Mr.Lingham took to the cattle-exporting business, remaining in that .occupation for about one year.Then he drifted over to Africa and became interested in the upbuilding of the City of Johannesburg, which was then but a small town, but with a promising future.In this country Mr.Linghain was often referred to as the \u2018Cattlé King,\u2019 and in the Transvaal his title was the \u2018Lumber King,\u2019 on account of the magnitude of his operations and the success attendant upon the same.Mr.Lingham has a mother, sister, and brother now living in Superior, and a second brother, W.A.Lingham, is a well- known business man of Australia.ADVERTISEMENTS.Are You Nervous?Quiets the nerves and induces sleep.Summer Resorts.JFIRST CLASS ACCOMMODA- TION FOR SGMMER BOARDERS on bank of

don\u2019t you ballot it, my dear fellow ?People don\u2019t mind paying a shilling or two for a chance, tu: they will think a good many tn.berore paying tive guineas even i, a work of art, which this undouln.ly is; and Mr.Flemming looked a miringly at the beautiful carving which he held in his hand.\u201cYuu see, he went on, \u2018money is so fearfully scarce that people haven't gui it to spend on indulgences like this I should like it uncommonly\u2014but fiv.guineas ! I really must not think ot it Look here! If you like to ballot it, I don\u2019t mind taking two tickets: and I have no doubt I can get several others to take some, and you will get it off your hands in a jiffy.I should, if T were you.\u2019 \u2018Well, to tell you the truth, the money would be very useful to me just now, only I have looked upon balloting as a species of gambling, and so wouldn't entertain the thought, But when you come to look at the subject dispassionately, it doesn't seem to affect the question of gambling one way or the other.lt is so entirely different from ordinary betting, and buyers for things like this are so very scarce, that I think | shall put it up.\u2019 \u2018Different from tetting ' 1 should think it is! Do vou think balloting would be fostered by clergymen and other good people at church ha- zaars if they didn't Know it wus harmless ?You may be quite sire I should be the last to recommend anything demoralizing,\u201d said Mr.Flemming.\u2018| suppose it is possible to be ina stiff about these things, and I shal; be very glad to get it off my hands.said the young artist ; and he wishe ! his friend \u2018Good morning\u2019 with a vers relieved expression on his erstwhile anxious face, and went back to his rccm to prepare the book of tickets, The book was soon ready ; and some people lodging in the same house chose four numbers.These, with Mr.Flemming's two.made six \u2014a good start to begin with.Then Duncan put on his hat, and taking the carving and book went out to canvass the different people he knew.He soon sold several tickets, ard at the end of the second day had only five left unsold.Cne man, who was popularly supposed to have \u2018dropped\u2019 and \u2018won\u2019 large sums on races, took three ; and giving the money to Duncan he said, with a broad, grin : 2 \u2018I say, McGregor! Glad to see you are coming round to sensible ways.Thought you were too high- flown to last.We shall have you on the course very soon.\u2019 \u2018You are very much mistaken! I never was further from gambling, and if I' thought this would lead in the least tc a love of it, or induce other people to take to It, I would give it up at once; but I've been thinking it over, and I've read different people's opinions, and they all agree that a simple thing like this has really no influence on the subject, or you may be sure I should not offer you the tickets,\u2019 said Duncan.In scme heat.\u2018Oh, well, we won't quarrel about terms,\u201d said his companion ; \u2018but if this Isn't a distinction without 8 difference, I don't know what is.\u2019 \u2018You are quite mistaken, I assure you,\u2019 said Duncan, but less confidently than before ; and he turned homewards, feeling decidedly uncomfortable.Arrived there, he set himself to lcok into the subject.He had certainly felt staggered at the gamblers view of balloting, and determined 10 look at it from all sides.But look how he would he could not see any real harm in it, nor could he remember having heard of evil resulting frcm the use of the ballot box at the different bagaars he had attended.thcugh it must be confessed he had never taken a ticket for himself ; indeed, in his own mind he had classed it with gambling.But after Mr.Flemming spoke to him he had come to the conclusion that balloting wac like a virtue which only became vire on being carried to excess.He had a great and wholesome horror of the vice of gambling, because he knew that it was sapping the moral and family life of such a vas! number of his countrymen and women, and shuddered at the thought of doing anything that would temp! his fellows to take the least bite of such a dangerous pastime, and could recall several instances of old ar- quaintances being ruined, morally and socially, through indulging in it.and he had himself written several articles on the subject, which had been published in different papert.And yet, with all this in his mind he could not convince himself that the simple fact of putting his »carving into a lottery for the purpose of gelling it contained in its action the real germ of the evil he so much de plored.The second evening he went to his club, and securing two or three favorite magazines began to look through them.One after the othe?was thrown aside, till he came to 8 very clever article by a well-known and popular writer who dealt so temperately with the subject of horse- - « pi FA bd pepe rt etl hed bad Sm bad AA bade om hed sn 14 pub ce bed a pul ed PO ed pe OMY ef SN ed pd bed pd pd Pym ay \u2014 == TN ~~ J Sho etl Codd LOT \u2014~ nm \u2014 PD \u2014~ mn g_o >» UY Th pd, 4 FV wi Ta FY CFV OF UF A WwW TY « A ra t+ + we A 1 = a \\ Pen tape ten wh SETAE # Fripay, May 15, 1896.THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.9 ing, and who appeared so tree | IN\u201d N ness putiing all the hard work ON boy : : SEMENT | \u201con unfair and narrow prejudice, | CHILDREN S CORN ER.you.Pis eur fault that the poor raed vo dtr.Beat.Whereat Allan ADVERTI S.READABLE PARAGRAPHS.\u2018ile pledging himself to devote his.\u2014 minister can\u2019t rebuild his church.\u2019 \u2018And I never should hb written e 660 ee LK) : enérg i t with an ' \u2018RC .ave NO EXPRESSION.a energies to stamp ng ou \" an\u2019 HOW THE CAT BUILT A CHURCH > It Las a sad evening for them all: if Tabitha hadn\u2019t spoiled the candy.e lé 5) Miss Maud\u2014\u2018Th it ch th on heel the concomitant evils O ut the next day things loo ght-| She began it '\u2014'Ca \u2019 MENTHOL © ss Maud\u2014\u2018They say changes the ex- : rumbiiug and other immoralities, that, It was only a few words in the cor- er.\u2018We've begun, and we must do; Magazine\u201d Canadian Church e & pression of the face to chew gum a grèat jincan was quite carried away with ; Der of a newspaper.It read thus: it, said Allan.\u2018I'm going to write ° i a PLASTER @ deal.I don't believe it.Do you?\u2018he rush of the sweeping reforms ad- | as eel.ne Little church, when that the money's coming, and we So e Her Brother\u2014'No; it's impossible.On we built seIf- © : ; me - .vocated by the writer of the article.| denial Lent bag ae od must just work and get it eomehow.DAILY FOOD.@ have proscribed Menthol Plaster tn a number ° the face of a gum chewer there isn't any and vet even this writer, pronounced | a $ \"| In a small village far away, the Of casos of nouralgic aud a a and expression to change.And 2 bl as he was confessed ' The: insurance 4s small, we are poor.R Mr.Bent Le his study lean FRIDAY, MAY 15.2; Messe ve much Lienued win SE, Trots and $ anti-gambler ; : i A ev.Mr.Bent sat in his study, n- _ .p ' \u2014 N , AVR \u201cHat balloting was innocent.We vere 50 PPY in having mate à ing his tired head upon his hand.He What will ye see in the Shulamite ?Tan, MD.Hotol Oxiord, boston.several cases HOW IT SAVES.d the article through ; P'âce In which to worship God.looked A d did his wife, À8 it were the company of two @| 9fmuscuiar rhommatiem, and find In every case |@ * Husband\u2014\u2018Do you think it saves you any.Duncan rca g | no one help us to build ?That was coked very sad, and eo di SONT armies.\u2014For the flesh lusteth against Uatt ane almont instant and permanent role thing to h a running account at that dry ; 3 .\u2018 \u2014 - to ave ï with feverish interest, and endorsed | who had Jusi come in.It was no the Spirit.and the Spirit a ainst the © Ît Cures Soistica, Leman 0, Neu- |@ goods store?all the writer's strictures on the pres- Aunt Maria glanced it through, ana V2, My dear,\u2019 said he, \u2018putting that flesh.\u2014Song of S oP 13 - ee 17, e| 25 Pnins in 1 Mack or Side, or Wife\u2014I know it does.You can't ima- nt facilities for indulging in the dan- | said to herself \u2018Yes, I will send them arpeal in the paper.Nobody has 5° Or Vo \u2019 anv \u2019 any Musoular Pu ° gine the amount of time It saves mc.Why, zerous pastime; but he breathed a something,\u2019 and he marked the limes noticed it.We can't ralge enough i - © pc | eve à Farc Co.Ltd, |® |T never have to stop to ask the price of great sigh of relief when he came to oy \u2019 ; money to rebul!ld ; we\u2019ll have to wait.250.| Sole Proprietors, MONTREAL.thing I wish t hase\" the remarks on lotteries, and decided with her pencil.But Aunt Maria \u2018Oh, William sighed his wife, \u2018how Satan has got Crristians to accept 8 28 anything wis o purchase!

\u2018No, said Duncan.\u2018Business can rever make wrong right, and I know now this isn\u2019t right.\u2019 \u2018Oh, well,\u2019 sald the man, son gout.\u2019 Duncan was about to reply, but seeing a mocking smile on the man\u2019s face he passed on.He felt a real relief now that he had put It out of his own power to draw back.The solution of his 1oubts and difficulties about the right and wrong of the subject seemed so very simple in the searching light of that solemn text that he could only wonder at his blindness in building up what he had thought was such a strong wall of opinion and morality to buttress his action.There was no doubt about the absence of faith, and for him, therefore, it was sin.He f~lt this very strongly, and thanked trod from a full heart for the present help and guidance of his Holy Spirit \u201chat had prevented him when he was 0 ready to fall.Before the week closed Duncan Mc- \u2018regor's \u2018need\u2019 was overcome in a strangelyv unexpected manner.And :n it will be with us.For hear what \u201che Lord says : \u2018There is no man that «th left house for the king- \u2018nm of God's sake, who shall not re- \u2018tive manifold more in thiz present me, and in the world to come life everlasting.\u2019 \u2014 American Messenger.\u2019 \u2018chacun a \u201cIE SHEEPFOLD AND ITS MASTER.2 Massa ob de sheepfol\u2019, [Lat guard de sheepfol\u2019 bin, ox out in de gloomerin\u2019 meadows, \u2018\u2018\u2019'har de long night rain begin\u2014 + He call to de hirelin\u2019 shepa\u2019d, .# My sheep, is dey all come in 7\u2019 © den says de hirelin\u2019' shepa'd, v's some, dey\u2019's black and thin, : rome, dey\u2019s po\u2019 ol\u2019 wedda's, ae res\u2019, dey\u2019s all brung in, + ile res\u2019, aey's all brung in.[re Loi ' J» Massa ob de sheepfol\u2019, fir gnard de sheepfol\u2019 bin, '
