way that is unknown up to the present.The ;artment of St.Louis du Mile End was yutrkly on the scere but the flames had reached the main building which, from the inflammable nature of its structure ê:4 not take very long to get well alight.A telephone message for assistance was quickly sent in to the Central fire statua but the reply was received that every appliance of their station was at the big fire on St.Peter street.Howe.er, seeing the urgent state of the case v-eat efforts were made by the department and both steamers and reels were soon on their way northward.Meanwhile 2 city had taken the alarm and num- arg of people pressed forward to the «ene of the conflagration on foot, on bi-vcles and in cabs.The streets lead- :1E Lo the north were soon fairly well \u201c\u2018lel with people going to the fire, several young men tearing along at their -\u2018most speed with the ldea of helping to save life, being under the impression that it was the Royal Victoria Hospital that was in flames.When {Was discty= ered that such was not the case mich relief was expressed by all.The scens of the fire was grand in the extreme, | as shortly after midnight a breeze bad sprung up from the north-west that fan- ~ed the flames and caused them to he of greater intensity than if it had broken ¢1t some four Lours sooner.It was utterly impossible to save the buildings above mentioned so the flremen turned their attention to saving the live stock sheds and the remaining bulli'ngs.The wa'er pressure being poor it wa: some \u2018me before the fire could be said to be vader control and it was not till past four that the reels and the men commenced to leave the grounds, after an extra hard night's work.It was a for- circumrtance that no furcher damage resulted for the flylng red-leot embers were carried by the force of the wind right into St.Jean Baptiste Ward, threatening destruction in that district, out not a single house was damaged.The northern end of the exhibition grounds

exhibition build- local fire de- and the busiest man in Montreal since two o'clock this morning was Mr.8.C.Stevenson.From the time he got down to his office early he was besleged by callers\u2014insurance officials, business men, curious individuals, men who wanted to know if the exhibition for 1896 was knocked out, and men wanting to know all about it.The telephone in his office has been ringing all day and still Mr.Stevenson is obliging and good tempered.To a \u2018Witness\u2019 repor:er he said: \u2018The fire was no doubt started by a tramp.There was a break in the fence of the grounds and ingress to the grounds was secured through it.The fire commenced in a closet in the northwest corner of the grounds.The alarm was given by men employed in the machinery building, and who were working for the Montreal Park & Island Railway Company.This fire was extinguished.A strong northwest wind was blowing, however, and a spark having been carried over to the carriage building, this structure was next ablaze.The firemen, however, with thelr axes, managed to keep this flre under contrcl.It was then thought that the fire was over, but presently a small blaze was noticed in the root of the Crystal Palace building.It was very high up, and as there was another fire in progress down town, the pressure of water was so weak that a stream could not reach the blazing portion of the roof.The heat of the last few days had rendered the old wood of ! the building like tinder and in a short | time the Crystal Palace was doomed.With it went the annex and the flemes i then spread to the carriage building adjacent.This went like tinder and then the machinery hall caught fire.This was used as a power house bv the Montreal Park and Island Rallway.This siructure soon followed the other burned buildings and the flaines broke out in the building known as the Lorne restaurant.It was wiped out of existence in a few minutes after which the flames devoured the swine pens adjacent.By this time some rain had fallen, and the wind had abated and so no other buildings ignited.\u2019 \u2018I had been called to the flre by telephone, and saw most of the conflagration, which did not last more than three- quarters of an hour.Great pralse is due the firemen of St.Louis and Montreal for the able and energetic manner in which they worked.\u2019 \u2018At what figure do you place the loss, Mr.Stevenson ?\u201d | \u201cAt between ninety and a hundred thousand dollars.Our insurance is as follows:\u2014 Alliances Insurance Company, $14,780; Atlas, $9,580; Liverpool, London & Globe, $9,500; Guardian, $9,500; Western, $9,500; Scottish Union & National, $9,600; Imperial, $9,500; Quebec Fire, 3$9,- 500; Norwich Union, $4,790; Union Assurance, $4,790; British American, $4,799; total, $95,800.\u2018None of the other bulldings on the grounds were injured in any way.I might mention here that the Montreal Park & Island Railway Company were most unfortunate with their cars.This company rented the Machinery Hall, power and some of the ground from the exhibition committee.When the flames i ' | \u2019 there were a number of cars on the track alongside the building.The men went heroically to work to save these cars and had already driven one away until it Teached a switch when it left the track.\u201cBefore it could be replaced on the track the fire had destroyed the ganerators, the cars could not be moved and eleven were burned.\u2019 ¢ \u2018* Will this fire prevent the holding of the annual exhibition the coming fall?\u2019 \u2018No, the exhibition vill be held.I have already made arrangements to have the grounds cleared in order that the necessary temporary buildings may be erected as soon as possible, and I bope that exhibitors will stand by us, for we have suffered a great loss.\"The new buildings will be erected in such a way that the timbers used in them wlll be avallable for the construction of new permanent buildings.We shall utilize some of the buildings on the Park side of the grounds for the purpose of the exhibition.\u2019 In the Lorne restaurant building was stored some two hundred dollars\u2019 worth of crockery belonging to the Northern W.C.T.U.This was all destroyed and was uninsured .THE PARK & ISLAND RAILWAY.The manager of the Montreal Park & Island Railway Company stated this afternoon that the destruction of the power house will not now interfere with the traffic save in as much as their cars will not, for the space of a few days, enter the city, so intending passengers to points outside will take the ordinary cars to city limits, where they will change cars.The power used is furnished by the Montreal Street Railway Company, who will continue to do so un- ñ 'opic in tho city to-day,

which was burned down du\u201d Royal Canadian Rifles were marched at ing last night has quite a history.At its first public opening the citizens of Montreal crowded into it and willingly paid five dollars a head for the privilege.That was away back in August, 1840.The building then known as the Crystal Palace was new and shining and was one story higher than it has been during its recent old age.Another great difference was in the location for the bullding.When first erected it stood at the corner of University and St.Catherine streets on th2 ground now occupied in part by the Glass Block.The attractions which brought in citizens at five dollars a head were the Prince of Wales and a grand opening ceremony.Montreal had had exhibitions previous tc that, in fact the first Canadian industrial exhibition held in Canada took place in the Bonsecours: Market in 1850, but that of 1860 eclipsed all former efforts.It was a grand affair in itself and celebrated as well the completion of the great Victoria Bridge.Inside the glittering building the Prince of Wales sat on a dais and was supported by the Duke of Newcastle cn one side and the Governor-General on the other.The ceremony consisted of the presentation of an address by the Gov- ernor-Goneral and a brief reply from the Prince of Wales.A tour of inspection of all the buillings of the exhibition buildings foilowed.The Prince with great good nature stepped out upon e balcony overlooking the street to receive the salutations of the thousands who would not or could not pay five dollars for, coming inside.Principal Dawson, Mr.Chamberlain and Mr.Alfred Perry conducted the visitors through the building.As the city grew larger, grounds were required and the Crystal Palace was moved to its final site on the present exhibition grounds.There it has been the centre of every exhibition since held in the city.It was kept fresh and bright by constant repairing and painting.For seven years previous to 1891 there was no exhibition, the old method of running them having become useless.Then the Exhibition Company took hold of tke matter and the old building was given a thorough overbauling and bas since been yearly as of old crowded from ground to roof with exhibitions of the handiwork of Canadians and the richest products of the country which were daily gazed at by thousands of Montrealers and visitors from places far and near.The following interesting little bit appeared in the \u2018Witness\u2019 of Aug.14, 1860, in reference to the safety of the exhibition building:\u2014'It is not unusual to hear expressions of apprenhension respecting the safety of this building at-the time of its inauguration, on account of the crowd then expected in its galleries, but we trust all fears have been allaved by the decisive tests employed.In addition to the pressure of twenty tons on rwenty square yards of gallery tried some days ago, the test of the moving welght was applied yesterday.Seventy men of the \u2018various rates of time over the different galleries without any noticeable deflection from their level.\u2019 THE DAMAGED FIRE ENGINE.The steam fire enginy belonging to the fire department at the exhibition grounds which was reported as being utterly destroyed in last nignt\u2019s fire, has only sustained comparatively trifling damage | that will be covered by $150.Acting- : Chief Beckingham on being questioned | as to how it was the steamer in question happened to be on the grounds at all, replied that it was a reserve engine, the exhibition grounds being considered by the department as a reserve fire station.The acting-chief also wishes to | take the opportunity of thanking Capt.! Ross of the S.A.Lighthouse for his kindness in supplying refreshments to his men at the fire on St.Peter street this morning.ST.PETER STREET FIRE.Over an hour before the exhibition buildings started to burn last night the fire department was called upon to fight a hard and very difficult fire that broke out in the premises of Messrs.Howden, Starke & Co., wholesale hardware merchants, at 32 St.Peter street.The alarm was sent in from box 423 at 12.19 a.m., the brigade immediately responding.On arrival at the scene of the fre the men saw they had their work cut out for them as the flames were bursting | out fiercely from the rear of the upper stories, while an entrance in front was next to Impossible by reason of the thick smoke.A very short time sufficed to demonstrate the inability one section of the brigade to deal with such a formidable conflagration so a second and third alarm were sent in and very soon the whole available force of the department was present and hard at work.Having literally cleaned out Messrs.Howden, Starke & Co.'s upper floors, the fire took a d on Mac- Tavish & Co.'s provision warchouse and cellar, despite the heavy streams of water playing upon the flames which were in the midst of their fury when the alarm was sent in from the exhibition grounds.The men remaining redoubled their efforts and at length got the fire under control; the salvage wen had mot been idle.spreading covers in all parts pot actually burning, and by this means managed to save plenty of siock \u2018rom damage by water.The losses of the firms whose premises had been burned and otherwise damaged * cannot yet be definitely ascertained.Messrs.Howden, Starke & Co., have some $35,000 insurance cn their stock i and building.Their goods placed in Messrs.John Lee & Co.'s old warehouse at 28 St.Peter street, were nearly all saved but it will take time to ascertain the full extent of the damage.Messrs.MacTavish & Co., wholesale provision merchants, have had their goods, which are nearly all of a perishable nature, irretrievably damaged by fire, smoke and water.Losses will be covered.Mr.Thomas Shaw, of 34 St.Peter street, provision merchant, has almost all his stock badly damaged by smoke and water.He could not yet state exact loss, but all is covered by insurance.Mr.James Oliver, of Messrs.James Oliver & Co., 36 St.Peter street, has sustained some trfling damage to stock by smoke.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CHINESE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, MONSTER PETITION TO BE PRESENTED TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR LEGISLATION EXCLUDING THE ADMISSION OF MONGOLIANS.Vancouver, B.C., July 30.\u2014A monster petition to the Federal Government, praying for the further restriction of Chinese immigration to Canada, is being circulated.The petition will contain over ten thousand names when it is sent to Ottawa.The petition recites that Chinese labor is driving out the white workingmen; that the United States, realizing this, have excluded the Mongolian coolies, and that Canada should also adopt measure to keep them out.It urges that a tax of $500 be levied upon each Chinaman entering the Dominion.D A NEW MCTIVE POWER.IT PROVES A SUCCESS IN A TEST THIS MORNING IN NEW YORK.New York, July 30.\u2014The test of the new air motor for street cars was made this morning in 126th street.The car s rat) A generacls } G.T.R.C.P.R.C'n\u2019'l.Tt\u2019) \u2018Wheat, bush .16000 16000 Corn, bush .02897 52897 Oats, bush 7000 62790 69700 Rye bush 0.RN 8500 8600 Flour, brls .1990 3815 2524 £329 Cheese bxs .3365 9110 1594 150R9 Eggs, cases .657 \u2018(R1 13 1451 Peas, bush .1200 600 1900 Ashes, brls .2 3 5 Butter, pkgs .2015 681 2696 Hams, bacon,pgs 196 364 \u2026\u2026.Hol Leather, rolls .27 39 66 Petroleum, brls .180 cen Cees 180 Pork, bris .150 vee 150 Lard, brls .\\.255 cen 205 Z prices unchange.\\ pu Mine to 2°c, ArG ms = op ele to- tio Ibe not cor Ch to Del re- Cou elec ed nat had non WOF the not!

he has a governing mind.He has great projects in view and serious reforms to make, and consequently he needs all the elements of power which circumstances will allow him to gather around his person.We can only approve the prudent policy of the Prime Minister.Our country needs security, stability and confidence in the future.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014#\u2014 THE FAST MAIL SERVICE.Referring to the question of the fast mall service tho \u2018Cultivateur\u2019 says: \u2018It is important, before going further into this enterprise, that we should weigh the consequences of the attitude which we shall take.Progress does not consist in the fact of throwing millions right and left, no more than in favoring the projects of speculators who are ever ready to throw dust into the eyes of governments by means of pompous prospee- tuses full of brilliant promises.The Laurier Government are not bound to carry out the election engagements entered into by Sir Charles Tupper.\u2019 \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE KEARNEY CASE.The case against William Kearney for selling liquor without a license was down for hearing yesterday afternoon, but when it was reached it was again postponed, this time until Aug.5.It is understood that strong efforts are being made to Induce the government to withdraw this prosecution.The Dominion Alllance has written the Provincial Treasurer protesting against any interference in the enforcement of the law by the revenue department, and insisting that all who offend against the law receive equal justice.a MR.LAURIER AND THE WORLD'S FAIR.The \u2018Cultivateur,\u201d Mr.Tarte\u2019s official organ, says that it considers itself in a position to state that the Laurier cabinet will give immediate attention to the question of the Montreal International Exhibition.The Laurier Cabinet is decided upon vigorously going ahead, and nothing ls better calculated to stimulate general progress than these gatherings of the industries of the whole world.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 PERSONAL.Mr.Emanuel St.Louis left for Caledonia Springs yesterday with his family for a trial of the springs and a rest.ADVERTISEMENTS.Bargains__\u2014m In Women\u2019s Wear.~.We have some nice, neat and new blouses which we have been selling all summer at 60 cents\u2014you may have one now for 25 cents.A line of Print Wrappers that sell at from $1.25 to $3 each\u201420 p.c.discount to clear them out.John Aitken & Co.1757 Notre Dame street.+ ADVERTISEMENTS, ® COLONIAL HOUSE, Phillips Square.a Toy Department.At half Price Boys\u2019 Bicycles, Sample Dolls and Stone Blocks, At a Discount of 20 percent, Baby Carriages, Trycicles and Rubber Tire Velocipedes.A fresh supply of Drums, Express Waggons, Doll Carriages, Wheelbarrows and Toy Balls.Carts, Baseballs and Rubber Mouth Organs in great variety, from 5c up.+ HENRY MORGAN & Co., Montreal.HAIR WORK 'arely informed the governor of the D andl the promptest measures were vixen to frustrate and punish the con- ators.The woman who had been oul urzing the Cubans to hang the grvoernor, and twenty men, who are sus- ;e +1 of being the ringleaders of the ;ryose4 revolt, were at once placed In - {rons Thev will be sent to Havana for { t~.a! by a court-martial.The others who ;
