tonight when some of Canada's greatest statesmen, judges and educationists took part in the banquet of the Literary and Seientific Society.The event was by far the greatest in the history of the organization, graced as it was by the presence of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.the Prime Minister of Canada; Sir William Mu- lock.the Hon.Geo.W.Ross, the Hon.A.B.Aylesworth, and a score of others of almost equal distinction.A remarkable feature was the representation of university graduates among the guests, while the compliments showered on the great educational institution were enough is raised by the deaconesges themselves.| to turn the heads of the newest fresh- 2 4 men.Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in replying to the toast of \u2018Canada and the Bm- pire,\u2019 retold the old story of early in difference to the value of the Imperial tie.That had been removed by the Jranting of responsible government.ntil now there was but one thought\u2014 that the ties must always remain.Canada was now an independent nation, so far as law-making Was concerned, and she could -get the right to make her-own commercial treaties by merely asking for it.Sir Wilfrid's reception was of th: most enthusiastic character.Upwards of four hundred students, graduates and members of Faculty were present.The banquet was held in the assembly room of the Temple Building.Toronto, Feb.19.\u2014The Laurier banquet committee take possession of Massey Music Hall to-morrow.The guests\u2019 table will be on the platform, and Sir Wilfrid will be seated in the centre near the front.in order that he may be heard \u2018distinctly in every part of the hall.Lady Laurier and party will occupy seuts im the eentre of the first gallery, facing the platform.It was originally intended to provide for 720 guests, but so great has been the demand, that the committee has remodelled the plan somewhat and covers will be laid for 822, including the sixty guests upon the platform.This is said to be by far the largest.banquet of this description yet served in Toronto.Every ticket has been taken.The Hamilton deputation, upwards of a hundred strong, will \u2018come by special train.TOBACCO BOILED OVER.Louis Gauthier, ninateen years of age, was taken to the General Hospital yesterday afternoon with his arms and face scalded.It wag found that his Injuries were not serious.Gauthier, who resides at 11

and Education Department of the Women's Club yesterday enjoyed a valuable lecture by Dr.D.J.Evans, oË MeGill, on the care of nervous children.He described the outer gray section as the \u2018business end\u2019 ot the brain, and the inner white mass as m:rely à vast collection of wires leading trom end 1o \u201cits innumerable calls dewn through the spinal chord to the organs of sense which were :nerely nerve endings.In these cells every impression received from outside was carefully deek- eted and packed away.Hach separate organ, each separate sense, had its own sot of cells and its own set of wires passing down though its own section of the spinal tract.These cells generated nerve energy and when any bunch of them failed of development, mentality in that spot failed and the sense or organ controlled by them worked bedly or uot at all.In infancy thesz c2lis were all present, but undeveloped, and on their.proper development through its growing years depended the health and mental capacity of the child.St.Vitus \u201cdance and all nerve disorders were simply lack of nerve control, energy going M the wrong direction.- The nervous child was more clever, thought and acted more quickly when growing.but wore out quixkly, and did not \u2018pan out\u2019 well at maturity.Such cHildreri should therefore be kept away from all that stimulates and exhausts.Liglit, sounds, gay colors on the bonnets of the ladies visiting the mother, all ex- J hausted the infant and an hour playing on the drawing-room floor among admiring afternoon callars would send a baby\u2019s temperature up from one to tour degrees.Nervous children should not be sent early to school, (a normal child he would not send before eight years j Old), and even then their play should | pe controlled, as they were apt to ex- Jhaust.themselves at that as well as at study.Parents could very well afford to keep such precocious ¢hildren out of school until they were well grown, be- \u2018learn as much as the others in half the time.The practice of taking any child to the | theatre he considered an extremely fool- dsh ome.In reply to a question he approved of fairy tales for children.l'hey \u201cwere just about up to the level of a child\u2019s mind, and in his opinion it was not fairies children showed fear of, but animals.At the close of the lecture solos by Mrs.Warner

fined $50 and costs for \u2018breach of the alien labor act.He \u2018was charged with bringing Harry Cruisz- mire from Philadelphia to work in his factory here.Cruisemire said he saw an advertisement in a wall Raper journal, and answered it.Mr.him in the United Statee, but he would give him a situation if he came to Toronto.Cruisemire said he also asked Menzie to advance transportation to come here, but Menzie told him he could not comply with his request, as he would be committing a breach of the alien labor act.Later on Cruisemire again wrote Menzie and told him that if he advanced him his fare as far as Niagara Falls it would be all right.Mr.Men- zie sent him the ticket, and Cru'\u2018semire paid his own fare from the Falls to Toronto.The point involved is an unusual one, and Mr.Menzie will ask for a High Court ruling on a stated cas: to be granted by the magistrate.MET DEATH IN FIRE.Metcalfe, Ont., Feb.19.\u2014On Saturday afternoon about 2 o'clock the residence of Michael Wallace, an aged farmer of the township of Osgoode, was destroyed by fire.The building was almost completely consumed before anv of the neighbors noticed it.Mr.and Mrs.Wallace, who are both about e'ghty years of age, and their daughter-in-law and three small children were all that were present.His son John, who resides with him, was away in a lumber shanty on the Upper Ottawa.The old gentleman spoke of going into the house for something, but his daughter-in-law warned him not to go, but while she was taking her children out of danger into an adjoining field he went in.On her returning she called for him, but got no reply.He perished about four feet from the front door in the hallway, his body being almost totally consumed.| | SIGK HEADACHE CARTERS these Little Pills, They

ST.PIERRE TAKES UP ITS DEFENCE.At the opening of the February term of the Criminal Court at Valleytield, yesterday, Mr.Justice St.Pierre aelivered a very elaborate address in support of the grand jury system.Referring to attacks made on different occasions against this system.even by the highest judicial minds, as being antiquated and worthless under our modern organization, the learned judge begged to differ with such views.\u2018I persist,\u2019 he said, \u2018in looking upon the grand jury às an indispensable institution, and my firm opinion is that jt should be maintained at all hazards, if we are to remain the free people that we are under the British constitution.If there be one thing which, more than any other, is dear to every British subject, one thing which more than any other will swell his heart with pride, it is the consciousness that be is a free man, and that his liberty is everywhere surrounded with guarantees which give him the assurance that not only his life, but his property and personal liberty, shall be respected.You, gentlemen, as grand jurors, are here to make sure that ne liege subject of the King, be he the humblest 1n the land.shall be put in jeopardy of his life or liberty without due and sufficient gause be- ng shown to you for it.It has been said that your intervention was useless, and that the innocence of persons brought up for trial upon groundless charges would find sufficient tection in the wisdom and integrity of the presiding Judge and in the fairness of the Jury.That may be true, but why expose the peor wretch and all those who are connected with him by the ties of blood or affection to all the pangs of anxiety and fear resulting from a solemn trial if he be innocent?Why put him in the felon's dock, and cover his brow with shame when the mere intervention of seven men by a simple examination of his case can tree him from such anguish, and give him his liberty, if it be against him is emtner groundless tred¥ Arter pointing out that the committal by a justice of the peace does not furnish the guarantee given by the verdict of a grand jury of twelve citizens .picked up at huphazard from every part of the district, the learned judge referred to his \"courts, which showed him that at every successive term false or frivolous charges were set aside by the grand jury.\u2018We are told.\u2019 he continwed, \u2018that nations have profited by experience, and that we are now more enhghtened than our ancestors were, This is, no doubt, true, but humanity, with its train of vices and virtues, has remained unchanged, with the difference, perhaps, that men have acquired more cunning as they have become more enlightened, and have advanced in learning; and, so long as wicked men will.persist in serving their revenge or their rapacity by bringing false or frivolous charges against innocent people, so long will the institution of the grand .jury remain a necessary bulwark against their wicked designs.\u2019 The address then referred to the many useful services rendered both to the public and to individuals by the grand jury's visits to public institutions, and it concluded as Iollows: \u2018How many times have they not brought peace and quietness by rejecting bills dictated by the fervor of race prejudice, and even of blind fanaticism, wnich, if allowed to reach the court.might bave kindled the fire of hatred and possibly brought on civil war?Gentlemen, our wise English ancestore have created the institution of the grand jury as one of the bulwarks of their liberty.The liberal institutions which they so highly prize have now ome pars of our inheritance.Let us preserve all those institutions with a fostering care, remembering ever the words.of a great statesman, who was also a great lover of freedom: \u2018Eternal vigilance 1s the price of liberty LACHUTE ODDFELLOWS.Lachute, Feb.20.-\u2014Laurentian Lodge, Indépendent Order cf Oddfellows, celebrated its twenty-tifth anniversary by à grand concert given in the Victor Hall, the other evening.The occasion was one that will long be remembered for the excellence oË the programme, and the visit of the Grand Lodge officers, De.Allan and Mr, T.J.Potter.The chair was ably filled by Mr.Slater, F.D.D.G.M.Miss H.Stewart, of Montreal, who possesses a rich contralto of remarkable purity and depth, sang the \u2018Three \\Vishes\u2019 and had to nd to several well-mwrited encores.Messrs.Cornish and Dixon, of Montreal, also contributed to the excellence of the programme.Mrs.Jean [.Thomas (who is a great favorite with every audience) recited in her usual happy manner, \u2018The incidents in shopping,\u201d which brought down the house.A pretty musical dialogue entitled \u2018 We'll have to mortgage the farm, was carried out by Miss Piché.Mr.and Mrs.Giles, Misses K.Beers and Lavigne, and Mess.W.Ball and k.Jousse.The address of welcome was given by Dr.Allan, grand master, and later in the evening Mr.T.J.Potter made the presentation of a veteran's jewel to Mr.T.MeOuat, who had been associated with the order for the past twenty-five years.Mr.McOuat suitably responded for the honor conferrad upon him.Miss Katie Beers made a very efficient accompanist throughout the evening.An exhibition cf elub and axe swinging was also given by Mr.Witham, ot Brownsburg.The proceeds of the evening, less the expenses, will b: devoted to the erection of an Oddfellows Home in Montreal.| MeGILL UNDERGRADUATES._À meeting of the Undergraduates\u2019 Society of McGill will be held in the Mac- Ç dbnald Physics

Mr.Choquette regards this as Quebec\u2019s verdict on his accusations against Mr.Parent.He owned in court that he could not prove those accusations, but here he renews them.And now he turns on Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who called him off from being a candidate, and thus shut him out from the glory which of course his prowess won.Mr.Parent has fallen, and Sir Wiifrid will fall next, if further interference is attempted.But was it not the time to defy Sir Wilfrid, when he ordered him to step down and wot?Mr.Choquette\u2019s own electoral programme, when aspiring to the mayoralty, did not seem to us to smack much of #form.It consisted in a number of favors from the Dominion Government, which his relations with that government would enable him to obtain.No wonder that Sir Wilfrid regarded his party's interests as compromised by that candidature.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014i The Chicago case which puts new responsibilities upon saloon keepers is being much commented upon everywhere.It will be remembered that Judge 'Tut- hill, of the Quarter Sessions Court, gwarded $17,500 damag2 against three sa- loon-keepers to the five children of ome John Hedland, a journeyman carpenter, who had been ruined through drink.The testimony showed that, until five years ago, Hedland was sober and industrious, with an income of $1,600 a year, and a happy family.Then he began using intoxicants, with the result that he lost his position and his eav- ings.his home was broken up, and his children, who ranged from fifteen to two years of age, were left starving, The court appointed a guardian for the children, and the guardian sued the three suloon-keepers, whose places Hedland wae in the habit of frequenting.\u2018l'he case was fought bitterly by the liquor men, who claimed that they were not responsible for the man\u2019s downfall, and who further declared that a verdict against them would mean the ruin of every h- quor seller in the country.Such a possible result, howev:r, did not appal Judge Tuthill, who held that they were liable to the children {or demages to the amount we have stated, and the judgment was received with applause by a crowded court.The publcans in Ohicago threaten to carry an appeal to the Superior Court.Should that appeal be unsuccessful the idea will spread lke wildfire, bringing public justice upon a traffic which hes & long history of crime at its door.Even should it succeed the judgment court will meke people think, and will do good._\u2014\u2014 Tariff standpatters at Washington will chuckle over the action of Prince von Buelow in sending a bill to the Reichstag for the extensibn to the United States of the tariffs given by Germany under reciprocal treaties to certain Kuro- pean countsies.As the tariff, which will thus be set aside, was primarily intended to force the United States to make a reciprocity treaty, abandonment of it on the eve of its going into effect on the first of March is proof, not only of the failure of retaliation as a threat, but of the more important fact that Germany cannot do without food supplies from America.As a manufacturing country, she is in the same position as the United Kingdom, and must import grain.meat and other produce from abroad, because she cannot raise sufli- cient within ber own area for home consumption.The new tariff, if put into operation, would greatly add to the cost of living.Wages would have to be increased to meet the rise, and the additional cost in manufacturing would place German manufacturers in a position where they could not compete with British and American goods in foreigm markets.The United States seems to be able, at present, to defy retaliation, because she produces a large surplus of food-stuffs and enjoys free trade within an area continental in diversity of climate, soil and situation.The time is approaching when these conditions will | be modified.Every year the surplus of food products available for export 1s growing less.When the United States ceases to have such a lavish surplus for export as will pay all the expenses of her foreign conunerce, her high tariff will also have to go.Indeed, as population increases and makes the strain of living greater, the people will more and more rebel egainst any artifical enhancement of the cost of it, and protection will break down in the United States, as it has broken down in Germany, and ap it hed to be abandoned in Great Britain sixty years ago.The doctrine on which the Pope founds his condemnation of the act of separation of church and state in France is as lofty as it is unpracticable.Roman theologians have held since the fifth century that there are two co-ordinate authorities on earth, each supreme in its\u2019 own siftrere, the church in matters religious and spiritual, the state in matters temporal.The one they hold as divine and eternal, the other as human and temporal, both supplementary to each other, the favorite comparison being the church as the sun, the state government as the moon.But the difference of their separate spheres was not so clearly defined but that long be fore the Protestant Reformation.ropes and Emperors quarrelled and fought.Italy for centuries was torn by their fac- tions\u2014Guelphs and Ghibelines.From the time of the Emperor Constantine to the present time they have never agreed as to the limits of their jurisdiction.The Roman doctrine is the one self-consistent scheme of the union of church and state, assuming the state to be Roman Catholic.But when the state, ag in France to-day, denies that it is Roman Catholic or even, as a government, Christian, the papal doctrine becomes untenable.Union of church and.state is anomalous, and separation is the only and inevitable result.The act of separation is in faot a declaration of the final emancipation of France from ecclesias- ticism, and of \u2018the freedom of the individual conscience from all government interference or disability.It is the outcome of a natural evolution.Among intelligent people in France, as in ail civilized lands, religion has ceased to be external and concrete and become inward and spiritual.Had this change not taken place among the Roman Catholics of France, all the powers of the non-Catholics could not have brought about the repeal of the concordat and the separation of church and state, \u2014\u2014 Mr.Donald Macmaster was optimistic in addressing the Unionist clubs in the Leigh district of Lancashire, where he recently met with defeat as a candidate for parliament.At this distance of perspective the source of his optimism does not appear very evident.One of the best auguries for the future success of the Unionist party, he said, was that Mr.Belfour and Mr.Chamberlain had come to an absolute agreement, on which the baitles of the party would be fought.Union among the Unionists is doubtless a good thing from a party point of view.The two leaders whose divergence hag brought the party to such straite, have to row in the same boat, and cannot afford to quarrel when all their energies are needed to keep afloat.Mr.Macmas- ter contended that when the country had an opportunity of seeing in how little the present government carried out its election promises.it would see that the true interests of the laborer lay with the Unionist party.Was this an olive of the Chicago i branch to the robust young Labor party?A revival of Disraeli\u2019s Tory radicalism so long after Lord Randolph\u2019s more sincere splurge in the same direction, is hardly likely to find a responsive echo in these days, when labor is organized and militant, and has formulated claims which the Conservatives cannot, without a revolution in their own principles, have any tolerance for.To gain its support, the Unionists will have to accept the Labor programme, for labor will not.modify its attitude merely to help them Into power.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 In strongly denouncing before the election a sinister gloss put upon his words, Mr.Brodeur has shown plainly that he has no intention of making capital in the contemptible way attributed to him.At a public meeting in the hall \u2018of St.Jean Baptiste College on Wednesday night, the Minister of Marine and Fisheries was reported to have said that the de- fent of Mr.L.O.Grothé would mean retarding the work of improving the port of Montreal .and the deepening of the channel.It would be a political infamy if an obvious duty to.the country should be in the least degree influenced by the choice of -a given constituency.The mere suggestion of such a thing is per nicious, and Mr.Brodeur has done well to repudiate the false criticism upon his remarks before polling day, so that no one may be able to accuse him of seeking advantage in that way.Events in Europe, especially in Norway and Hungary, seem to have smoothed the path of the British Liberals in modifying Irish demands.The measure which they are going to grant seems to be one on which both the home rule and Unionist Liberals cen agree, and one which the Irish members are willing to accept, some of them more willingly than others, as at least an instalment of what they want.A reactionary revolution seems -to have been accems plished in Austria-Hupgary.The King- Emperor dismissed his Hungarian par liament as, under the British constitu: tion\u2014which is the underlying constitution of all parliaments\u2014the King las a right to do.We can hardly imagine our\u2019 King using this privilege apart from a mandate fram the people, pretty clearly.expressed; but then it is pretty: hard 1 to imagine the British parliament .since \u2019 Cromwell's time, taking.steps .which.rendered the King\u2019s position as sovereign untenable.What might occur in- the case of an Irish parliament we can only surmise.\u201cThe Austyian Emperor's difficulty lies, as did that of the King of Sweden.in having two independent parliaments.He holds that while he has one empire he must at least have one army.The Magyars, the ruling people of Hungary, demand that their army shall be a separate body, with separate words of command.Thé present Emperor knows as well where to bend as any ruler ever did, but this, and other be like points, he could not concede, It is unnecessary to follow the differences till they have resulted in the King\u2014he is only King in Hungary\u2014coming to the conclusion that he must dismiss his parliament.Having determined to \u201cgrant all his peoples universal suffrage, he, no doubt, counts on getting quite a different parliament when next he cn- venes one.The present parliament, therefore, proposes to hold om to life whether the King will or not.The.Austro-Hungarian empire is therefore jn\u2019 a-stite of revolution, the Hungarian parliament being in revolt against the King.mr BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS.The opening of the British House of Commons, yesterday, was quite an epochal event.For the first time in its history, the labor party is a power, with many potentialities for gocd or ill; and the Liberal party itself starts a new career with the largest majority = the country has ever conferred upon it.Undoubtedly, the most important paragraph in the King's speech was that relating to Ireland.Most of us have wondered: \u2018what eort of a dicker\u2019 Sir Henry Camp- bell-Bannerman had made on the one band with the \u2018imperialistic\u2019 -section of his party, and, on the other, with Mr.Redmond and his friends, since so much harmony seemed to be established Le- tween them immediately before and during the elections.The explanation must be sought in the following non-committal utterance: \u2018My ministers have under con- \u2018 sideration a plan for improving and ef- \u2018 fecting economies in the system of gov- \u2018 ernment for Ireland, and for introducing \u2018 thereinto means for associating the peo- \u2018ple with the conduct of Irish affairs.\u2018It is my desire that the government of \u2018the country in reliance upon the ordin- \u2018ary law should be carried on so far us \u201c existing circumstances permit in a spirit \u2018 regardful of the wishes and sentiments \u2018of the Irish people, and I trust that \u2018this may ccnduce to the maintenance \u2018of tranquillity and good feeling between \u2018 the different classes of the community.This passage, ambiguous though it may be in phrasing, clearly points to a measure of some sort of self-government, which will do much, if not all, to satisfy THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS: °° the aspirations of the Jrish people, notwithstanding that Mr.Redmond disclaims \u2018in the open\u2019 any intention to be satisfied with anything short.of cut-and-out self-government.\u2018The cabinet of Sir Henry is carrying out its opposition pr> mises by proposing to stop.the importation \u2018of Chinese laborers, or slaves, in the Transvaal immediately, and to confer shortly complete self-government upon the colony.It also forecasts immediate reform of the education act that was such & blot upon.the government of Mr.Balfour.The Laborites are said to be satisfied with the King's speech and its promises, although not a word comes over the cable as to what those promises wre, \u2014\u2014 THE STATE CONCERT.\u2014.The lamps shone o\u2019er fair women and rave men.One was inevitably reminded of Byron\u2019s lines at His Majesty's Theatre last night, so gala-Lke was the scene, 80 besprinkled were the crowded arcs of seats, from front to rear, and as far as the eye could reach above, with feminine loveliness and with masculine martial, diplomatic and academic apparel.Titian was not the first student of color to discover that \u2018red comes forward to the eye,\u2019 the original discoverer having probably been one of our earliest ancestresses, \u20ac poet claims that \u2018 \u2018tis beauty truly blent, whose red and white nature\u2019s own sweet and cunning hand laid on,\u201d and Burns can no more be- praise his love than to liken her to \u2018a red, red rose that\u2019s newly sprung in June.\u201d The cunning artificer \u2018who conceived the scheme of decorations for last night's show borne Nature\u2019s lesson well in mind, and in this he was assisted by \u2018the sparkling diamonds and other adornments of the fair and the many brilliant uniforms of the brave.Dr.Harriss \u2018himself, the composer of Pan, wore his academic robes as doctor of music, and very ofnate appeared to be the garb to those who saw it for the first time.The theatre was charmingly adorned with flowers and flags, and the flags were in overwhelming majority \u2018Jacks.\u2019 That in itself was something to be delighted with, and thankful for, considering that almost every public occas'on is attended with Yankee flags.\u2018the tricolor, and hatnot\u2014any_ old flag, indeed, but the ne tô which we rightly belong and which belongs to us.\u2018hi \"8 - The language of eulogy might be ex- fimusted to \u2018describe the evening as n whole.\u2018Night of all nights of the year,\u201d it might well be called, if to-night were not about to open upon its equal.Whether the company assembled or the music is considered, it would be difficult to imagine anything nearer to the heart\u2019s desire.It was a brilliant and distinguished æudience.The presence of the Governor- [General and the vice-regal party was in- lépirational.So evident was Lord Grey's ehjoyment of every minute of the time; 80 hearty was his recognition of ill the good points\u2019; \u2018so pleasant.his smile, so kind bow,\u2019 ko whole-souled his over; look and gesture, that the audience at large was put into high good humor and relf-satisfaction, while Emil Paur \u2018and4 his devoted band could not do nearly enough to \u201cexpress \u201ctheir gratification: 13 | the smiling \u2018faces everywhere, one could not help the reflection of how important a part greatness.yet may play in the world\u2019s theatre when \u2018greatness is carried greatly\u2019\u2014and urbanely.\u2018Pan,\u2019 of coursa was \u2018the thing\u2019 last evening, and it may said at once that it was \u2018a goed thing.\u2019 Not by any meaus a great thing, but a pleasant thing, an enjoyable thing, a thing that one; might listen to with liking when a more heralded thing might pall.The compositon is-snatchy rather.\u2018but there is not a dull minute in it, and iv abounds ip rythmic tune.Mr.Har- rise was fortunate to have the Pittebürg aggregation io interpret his orchestration \u2018as the audience heard it as nearly per- The soloists were very good, especially Mr.Herbert Witherspoon, bass, who.is well known to Montreal concert-goers, \u2018and upon whom the lion\u2019s share cf the vocal work as \u2018Pan\u2019 fell.Mrs.Corinne Rider-Kelsey, soprano, who nas also Leen heard before in Montreal, was Syrmx, the woud nymph, whom Pan pursues until she is changed into a reed, and she sang acceptably, if not notably.Mr.Clarence B.Bhirley, tenor, had only a small part as \u2018A Young Faun,\u2019 but that he di well.The choral work was, of course, important, and one would like to praise it more highly than its work warrants.While it was enjoyable it somewhat lacked precision and volume, and at times, in some parts of the house, was quite \u201cdrowned out\u2019 by the orchestra.This was as much the fault, perhaps, of the situation of the chorus as of any defects in the chorus iteelf.l{ was placed far back on the stage and there was nothing Between its voice vertically but the roof \u2018of the building; so that it was a little like \u2018ringing into the empyrean.Pan is doubtless reminiscent of several composers, but that is a detail that does not-de- tract from its brightness and beauty.The work of the Pittsburg Orchestra was amazing.\u2018Thank on.your knees fasting for a good man\u2019s Jove, Rosaline advises a haughty beauty in \u2018As You Like It) and certainly all music lovers would have been prepared to go without a meal for the sake of hearing Emile Paur and his band, It was indeed a feast of music they provided at the state concert.The brass alone was worth going miles to hear, as Katisha\u2019s right arm was worth going miles to see, It was as grateful to the ear longing for yellow or deep cadmium tone-color.as the sea is ever to the sea- born after enforced leagues of land.but whatever the band played, whether Wagner\u2019s \u2018Siefried\u2019s Funeral March.\u2019 Bour- gzault Ducoudray\u2019s \u2018Burial of Ophelia,\u2019 Liszt\u2019s \u2018Preludes,\u2019 Dvorak\u2019s Symphony from the \u2018New World or the Prelude from \u2018Die Meistersinger,\u2019 all was adequate, all war as one would desire.Mr.Clarence B.Shirley, towards the close, sang three songs in English most sweet- Iv.and was heartily applauded.Dr.Harriss is to be highly complimented upon his composition and upon the success of the state concert as a whole.The Governor-General has engaged four boxes to-night, and will attend with a distinguished party.fectly as it will ever likely he heard.THE LATE COLONEL HUGHES FUNERAL OF THE EX-CHIEF OF POLICE LARGELY

UNACCEPTABLE.Copenhagen, Feb.19.\u2014The newspapers make a feature of the visit which Baron de Courcil, Frances representative at\u201d the funera] of King Christian, paid the Emperor William on the eve of His Majesty's departure for home.It is inferred that the Emperor summoned the distinguished Frenchman, in accordance with one of those impulsive fits which have marked other of his political acts, in order to demonstrate his personal friendliness towards France, and bis desire for a happy issue for the -Mo- roccean conference.\\riters for the press generally treat the incident as be- Ing of great importance, and as indicating that the lranco-German difficulties will be solved outside of the conference.It is stated that diplomatiste take that view.It is declared in some quarters that the Kaiser expressed a wish that Baron de Courcil go to Berlin to continue the discussion, and that the most active telegraphic correspondence has since been Proceeding between Baron de Courcil and M.Revoil, head of the French mission at Algeciras, with the result that Baron de Courcil will go to Berlin, Whether there is any truth in this cannot bc leerned, but political observers are convinced

old, of the German delegation, diplomatically replied to a reporter seeking information: \u2018A compromise on the police question is in no way possible if, as I assume, France recognizes the necessity for the interests of other powers being protected.Paris, Feb.19.\u2014The Berlin correspondent of the \u2018Temps\u2019 says that the \u2018Lokal Anzeiger\u2019 reports that France's reply

confirms the Algeciras report that France has offered to concede the control of the Moroccan police tothe Sultan if the latter will select French officers.An ac cord is considered to hinge upon Germany's acceptance of French officers.1f this is not accepted, a crisis will still be possible, as the French officials\u2019 view is that France has reached the limit of her concessions.The

further decline.A local and export dealer in baled bay said to the \u2018Witness\u2019 representative yesterday that the railway and steamship companies, in thelr method of handling freight, were largely to blame for the posi- tlon with which dealers and growers are confrorted.All carriers are said to against hay freight and give the preference for immediate delivery to almost any other class offering.This is often a matter Of rcllcy when weather conditions have to be considered, as they have during the winter monthe, for hay does not classify as perishable goods.The open winter and absence of embarrassing quantities of Enow which has been experienced this season have encouraged the railways to rush large quantities of freight to the seaboard.Hay Legan to accumulate in Borton and New York and as the rallways could not afford to let so many cars stand Idle, the éteam- ship companies were forced to take delivery and forward the freight or pay demur- rage on the cars.The former course was naturally taken in most cases which resulted In the dumping of 1,800 to 2,000 tons per week on a market which seldom requires more than 800 to 1000 tons.The result was a drop in prices, which has continued under the heavy receipts for the past fortnight and a declhe of almost 20 percent has been recorded.The effect on thie market wae to lower prices for a while but when quotations had fallen a few shillings dealers on this market began to with- bold shipments preferring to lose money through idleness than to lose on sales made at less than cost.DAIRY PRODUCE Messre.Hogson Brothers, of Liverpool.in their weekly dairy produce report, dated Feb.9, eav: \u2018The cheese market has mand being of a rotall character, and \"values are a shade easier.Medium grades \u2018bave been In demand, and eold as landed.Finest Caaadlan September-Octdber, coior- ; 26 is quoted at 6 to 64a per owt; do, | white, £0: 6d to Cis 6d.earlier makes, riper qualities, 38s to 0; States balf meats, \u2018where showing quality, & to 06s, | grades, skime, dull, Hs to 43s.| \u2018Choicest Continental produce has been in talc request, and arrivale of butter have teen well cleared at the cabled reduction.'
