Samson, Auvry and Lundin.The lightest of these welghs 202 1bs., and the heaviest 260 lbs.: all are in the neighborhood of & ft.2 in.in height.ACTON TELLS HOW HE WAS BEATEN.Joe Acton, who lost two falls to Tremblay last Friday.at Sohmer Park, has written to the Hamilton \u2018Herald\u2019 explaining how it all happened.Ie complains and tle defence came in for a large share ! that the time-keeping was not correct, that of attention from the referees.in the first spell the bell was sounded in At ong time MGiM \u2018had both defence | ¢ minutes 45 «econds when he (Acton) had men on the bench, end one of the for- | Tremblay in a very favorable position for wards as well, playing four men to seven.| placing him on his shoulders.In another The Wanderers\u2019 defence, which included the veteran Tom Hodge, at cover point, played a sound game, and successfully resisted the desperate efforts of the McGill forwards to score in the second hall.The teet man on Wanderers\u2019 forward line was Arnohl, who made his debut in senior company a few days ago.His stick handling \u2018 was clever, and ehooting good, and from start to finish he never let up, proving Fimeelf to be, perhaps, the hardest worksr on the ice The score at the end of the first half stood at 3 t& 2 in Wanderers\u2019 favor.The Wanderers will play Grand'\u2019Mere, the winners of the Eastern Division, fon- the inte;mediate championship.During the second helf iMoGiH failed to score at all, while Wanderers tallied twice.Walter Cummings and Benny Burland officiated in a capable manner.The teams were:\u2014 MoGHl.Wanderers.Mather .Goal ., ., .Baker \u2018Harrington ,, .Point .Brownrigg | Callaghan ve + .\u2019Covèr .Hodge Paibie .Centre ,.Arnold Gurd .\u2026 .«.Rover ,., .Kenaedy , Rowell ve sv + +., Ri@ht .Liffiton | Deyle ., ,.\u2026.Left ., .\u2026.Beck Goals - Kennedy, 2;

attacking and murdering foreigners in various parts of the country generally for some provocation.\\Ve think the Chinese a sort of semi-barbar- ians governed by unaccountable race antipathies.It is usually assumed that the lower the type of man the more powerfully will he be governed bv race hatreds.Yet, in the middle of Ohio a precisely similar proceeding has been going on for days, when the white people of the city of Springfield gathered in thousands to burn and murder in the negro quarter of the city.This was because two negroes, who had probably been badly insulted by a brakeman, had shot him.We suppose the United Btates counts itself the most advanced country in Christendom.but it is hard to see \u2018wherein it his done better than semi-barbarous China, By ending a cargo of flour and gram to aid the famine sufferers in Japan, the Dominiorr Government has acted with eommendabie benevolence.As our nearest neighbor ou the other s'de of the Pacific, with whom we seem destined 10 have an increasing commercial intercourse.Japan is a country whose friendship we should enltivate under any circumstances.more particularly at a time when ts brave but exhausted people are suffering great affliction.Mercantile agencies and missionaries describe the famine- stricken region.in the northern part ot the central island, as a poor cold country inhabited by a sturdy frugal race, which contributed some of the best troops to the army in Manchuria during the war with Russia.To ward off starvation the government has established public works and thrown open the forest reservations, but the failure of the rice harvest was ro complete that much suffering will be unavoidable, before another crop can be gathered next autumn.It 1s pathetic to read that the Japanese suffer silently, and, in a ckmate much like our own, we can imagine what their sufferings must be.As a people Canadians would du well to second the action of the government in sending relief.À movement in that direction has already been started in the United States.One advantage may arise out of the gift of our government, which we would like to see dupl- cated by the people, in teaching the «Japanese to eat wheat.This varialion in their rice diet would be greatly to their benefit, and, probably, in a measure, to ours.The Toronto Board of Trade has pass ed a resolution urging Great Britain to make liberal terms with Newfoundland and the British West Indies to bring thein into the Canadian Confederation.It would have seemed at once more intellig- ble and more dignified to urge our own government to make the liberal terms.With regard to Newfoundland we think every true Canadian would bear it out in doing so, were the way to open.Newfoundland is almost a necessary part of Canada and to round out our country it should certainly be included.Its people are our people.Its mode of government is ours.Its problems are ours.Altogether different is the question with regard to the British West Indies.Their people are chiefly negroes who are developing splendidly in a habitat natural to them, but they would introduce new problems into our body politic.They would have their political lessons largely to learn.The association with Canada of islands beyond the United States would not make our relations with that country pleasanter, and they would be cepstantly used as a means of annoying us.The islands would be continually appealing to us for aid, both with regard to their internal and their external difficulties, and we should have what the mother country has ever had with her colonies, questions of no importance to ourselves which would be expensive and embarassing to settle.The chief advan tage of West Indian annexation is set forth as being free trade between us and the islands.Would it not be possible to have a customs union or some further approach to it than we have without a political union?In any case it would be, perhaps, wise to keep the Newfoundland question and the West Indian question Feparate.BANKING EXPANSION.À great deal of attention has lately been given by the press of this country to the almost phenomenal development of the Canadian chartered banks in the matter of increased capitalization.reserve funds and the opening of new branch banks.For a few months immediately following the commencement of crop- moving.operations the circulation of the banks.was taxed to the utmost extent to provide the necessary funds to finance the movement.while at the same time fultilling the ordinary duties that an active commercial and industrial business demanded.Many of the banks found themselves greatly handicapped in the restrictions that compelled the amount of circulation being kept within the bounds of paid-up capital, and have in consequence decided to capitekzation to an amount *hat will allow of greater expansion of note circulation to meel the growing demands of the country.In placing new stock upon the market, stockholders are not always in a position to provide the necessary funds, and in not a few cases there has been discontent, chiefly owing Lo the enormous reserves that are being carried by the individual banks, and out of which a good many stockholders think that some of the new capital might be indirectly taken.À strong reserve.however.1s most desirable, and the bigger the reserve the better; always provided that the stockholder gets à reasonable dividend return on his investment.Stability is the keystone of any banking institution, not only In attracting new bus!- ess, but also in placing the bank in a position to combat a period vf depression, Sooner or later bad times come to the most fortunate of countries.If the shareholders of charterefl hanks are allowed to continue the policy of building up reserves, there will be no such trouble as was experienced after a time of vaunted prosperity in Australia when nearly every bank in that country was brought under the hammer.Stockholders way yel be glad of the great reserves the banks are carrying and before another decade has passed by.Although everything now looks hopeful, it should never be forgotten that a general «roy failure, which inight at any time hanpen.would leave a large number oi >nerchants, nanufacturers and financiers hign and dry upon the rocks, with nothing but regrets to comfort them.It is evident that new camital as necessary, but it should be contemplated with a view rolely to accommodate an increasing business, rather than to frenzied competition.The bank branch craze, for such it has almost developed nto.1s the only weak feature in the present position of the chartered banks, and nothing but the huge protits that have been made during the past few years would justify such a general reaching out.The gross business cf the banks mn 1905 was greatly in excess of the 1904 returns, yet net profits did not show a vorre- sponding increase.and this vax traceable, to quite an extent, to the cost of main: taining an unproductive branch ctfice in seme small town.It is only proper that country districts should receive the benelits of banking facilities, but when ss many as five and six branch banks are opened where the population does not exceed three to five thousand, euch competition is certainly indefensible.On Wednesday we published on :he \\inancial page an extract from the annual report of Mr.Kilburn, superintendent of hanks increase their| \u2019 been the in the United States, in which he stated that branches of banks of deposit and discount, and trust

PAPE ES » 3 ST.PAUL STREET FIRE Damage to Business Houses Estimated at $40,000 NARROW STREETS AND NEI- WORK OF WIRES IMPEDED THE FIREMEN.À serious fire entailing an estimated loss of $40,000, broke out in the lour- story stone building at 381-383 St.Paul street, midway between St.Sulpice and Phace Royal, last mght, and for a time threatened to dvvastate the surrounding business district.; The firme occupying the building and affected by the fire aie as follows :\u2014 The Dominion Dry Goods Company, Mr.Moses Genser, proprietor; the Merchants\u2019 Clothing Company, Kominsky \u2026 proprietors, and Messrs.Suck: ling & Co., trade auctioneers.before nirz o'clock Patrolman Langevin, of the Central Police Station, who was on duty in St.Paul street, noticed smoke rising over the roofs of the buildings neir St.Sulpice street.Although at th: time he was unable to see any blaze he felt positive that the rear of the building must be on fire.He immediately sounded an alarm from the box at the corner of St.Paul street and Place Royal.As soon as he had done so, flames were seen to burst through the second floor of the building occupied by the Merchants\u2019 Clothing Company.The fire had evidently been burning for some time before being discovered, as the whole interior was blazing fiercely when the first contingent of firemen reached the scene.All thr: central stations re- ded shortly afterwards, under Sub- Chiefs Dubois, Briere and Saint Pierre.The narrowness of the street, in addition to the network of wires spread above, greatly hindered the firemen 1n getting their ladders into position, and it was not until the whole structure was in a blaze that the men were able to work effectively.No sooner were the ladders run up in front of the building and the window panes broken than the flames shot out from the windows with such strength as to almost envelop the firefighters on the ladders.In fact, the ladders caught fire and it appeared as if they would be burned, but a well directed stream saved them.Many were afraid that the fire would shoot across the street or break into adjoining buildings, but this was pre vented, although with considerable difficulty.Buildings in the rear were protected by six lines of hos, which had :o be carried through the establishment of Mr.William Farrell, St.Sulpice street.While the men were at work, a loud explosion occurred in the building.It is supposed to have beep caused by gas.The salvage corps effected a great saving in the stock of the Dominion Dry Goods Company from water damage by their rapid distribution of covers.They gained access to the building by way of the establishment of the Crucible Steel Company of America.on the east side.After three hours\u2019 constant work, the firemen had the situation well under control.Mr.Moses Genser, proprietor of the Dominion Dry Goods Company, estimates his loss at 87,000, including stock and fixtures.The Merchants\u2019 Clothing Company\u2019s damage is reckoned to be about fifteen thousand dollars.Messrs.Suckling & Co.did not carry à heavy stock, and it is thought that 86,000 will cover their loss.The building, which is the property of the Mackenzie estate, is badly damaged.Tts total value has been appraised at 625,000, and last night'g loss will probably reach $10,000.On the west side of the damaged build: ing is the establishment of the Gurney- Massey Company, Limited, whose stock was damaged by water to the extent of ,000.The cause of the fire has not been deti- nitely Gscertained, although an overheated stove in the rear part of the second story is thought to have been responsible.The firemen are grateful to Messrs.Lyman, Sons & Co.for their kindness in serving them with hot Bovril while the fire was in progress.INSURANCE.The amounts of insurance carried by thy different firms affected are as follows :\u2014 Merchants\u2019 Clothing Company, 42,000, with the London & Liverpool & Giobe Company; the Domdnion Dry Gceods Company, $10,000, distributed among the Canada, Missisquoi, Provincial and Montmagny companies; the Gurney- Massey Company, $7,000, with the Northern, Liverpool & London & Globe, Alliance and Commercial Union vom- pentes.' JOURNALISTIC DISPUTE, Mr.Justice Doherty rendered judg: ment this morning in the case of Olivar Asselin vs.D.Louis Frechette.was an action by which Mr.Asselin, the editor of the

secretary of the Hon.Mr.Gouin, and he alleged that the article referred to was damaging and libellous inasmuch as it distorted languag: attributed to hin and intimated that he should not be kept in the position which he held.Dr.Frechette pleaded that his writing was merely a gamma- tical criticism made without maliée, and \u2014\u2014 that the plaintiff had himself used strong language to his

and so he decided to make a show of attempting to escape.He appealed to the Ceurt for clemency.The jury returned a vwsdict of guilty, with a recommendation to mercy, and in passing sentence of six months, Mr.Justice Lavergne said he took the recommendation into consideration.I'he maximum sentence for prisoner's offence was two years.EUMENE'S ANTECEDENTS, Eumene is a hardened -riminal.On July

near the penitentiary when he and the notorious{ Joseph Filiatrault escaped the guakds and obtained their freedom.On April 1 Eumene was recaptured at Plattaburg.Filiatrault, if he is alive, is still

the basket brigade up in the market hall was less than one- fourth its usual numbers, and new laid egge were from five to ten cents per dozen higher in price than on last Friday\u2019s market.A habitant had some eight or ten gallons of maple eyrup which he said he made last week and for which he was asking 40c the quart;

succeeding the rioting of the past two nights it was evident that more depredations against the colored population of the city had been planned lor to-night.Anticipating that the attack, if made, would be in the vicinity of Section street, Colonel Ammej sent .a squad of soldiers.ta that locality at 7.30 o'clock.Just before their arrival a crowd of rioters left the house of Pearl Howard, against which threats had been made.The house had been set on fire, but the troops sent in an alarm and the plage was only slightly damaged.\u2018I'he rioters escaped.As a precautionary measure, Colonel Ammel -has posted two machine guns and a company of troops at the court house and jail, and the entire square 18 cut off.The distribution of the guns and troops over -the city bad a depressing effect on the rioters, and, with the exception of little affrays, but little out of the ordinary had occurred up ,to 11 o'clock.A house at High and Race streets, recently occupied by negroes, was fired by rioters, but the Hames were put out before they made great headway.; Arthur Ancil, a member of the Xenia Military Company, was struck on the head by a brick, said to \u2018have been thrown by a rioter.and fatally hurt.tonight.His assailant made an improvised slungshot of a piece of brick wrapped in a handkerchief.Two More companies.of state troops from Pinqua are held \u201cin readiness for service here, but the present outlook does not indicate that more will be needed, as the backbone of the riot seems to have been bpé- ken.ps A STRANGE STORY .| MATRIMONIAL EXPERIENCES \u2018OF

sad tragedy seldom equalled.In 1878 she waa married: to John L.Thompson; in .St.Andrew's.Church, Quebec, of which city both dre natives.A boy and a girl were born.of this marriage; both still living.Thompson deserted her in 1830.\u2018The same year she received word that she believed to be authentic of Thompson's death:in an accident in the South.She came to Detroit and started a boarding hoyle: In 1885 she married George Gould.This marriage was legal, the statutory seven years having elapsed without, her haying seen or heard from Thompson.He was legally \u2018dead.\u2019 Gould died in 1804.Three children resulted from this marriage.In 1898 she married George Webb.In the fall of that year Thompson appeared here.He recognized Webb as the legal husband of his formper wife.Thempson returned to Florida, where he has been in business several years.Last December Webb.deserted his wife and married Sarah Weaver, and on Feb.14 last filed a \u2018suppressed\u2019 bill tor divorce from his former wife, asking annulment of his marriage \u2018to her om the ground that she was married to Thompson in 1878.Mrs.Webb has engaged coungel, and will fight the grant: ing of this divorce.If successful in this she will render \\Webb's marriage to Sarah Weavet illegal.\u2014 FOUL PLAY FEARED A MYSTERY ABOUT THE DEATH OF BERNARD PETERSEN AT OTTAWA.Ottawa, March 1.\u2014It 18 likely that an

with the explanation given, and think that there is some myatery about his unexpected suicide that should be moived, Following the announcement of Peter: pen\u2019s marriage last Friday night to Mist Maud Forbes, of Bell street, comes the report that Petersen drew about $400 from the bank Jast week.Why he drew this large sum, and what he did with it, are things which his brothers do not
