LICENSE BILL PASSED BY FORTY- TWO MAJORITY.Toronto, April 26\u2014The big feature of yesterday\u2019s sitting of the Legislature was the tiery speech made by , J.Hanna, Provincial Secretary, against Mr.George W.Rose's motion that the three- fifth majority clause be struck out of the Liquor license Bill, so that only a straight majority would be necessary to carry local option by-laws.The bill was before the House for third reading.Mr.Hanna declared that Ontario's experience had been that where local option was carried by less than a three fifth majority it had been a failure.In- of all the municipalities that had car ried local option in Ontario previous to 1905 only twenty of them were still under local option.1t proved that where a big majority was obtained the enemy was defeated in the \u2018first round.It had been hinted that the three-fifth clause was put in the bill to please the liquor men.Mr.Hanna was very strenuous in denying this, and stated that nothing was further from the truth.The object of the government had been, not to tind out the feeling of the liquor and temperance men and then stir between these two factiont without touching eith- r, but to pass a measure based to bene- Ft the whole people of the province.This statement caused much applause from the Conservative members.Mr.Ross insisted upon a division being taken on his motion, and, on a vote being taken it was defeated by (® to 21, showing a government majority of 42.The bill passed its third reading.A third reading was given Mr.J.P.Downey's bill to further amend the Pharmacy Act and also the

great deal of attention in the city, and a large crowd, estimated at 3,000, went {o the scene.This morning a man giving the name |'W of Brunet was arrested for having set the buildings on fire.He made a confession to Mr.Carpenter, chief of detectives, admitting he had stolen two horses from the Sisters\u2019 stables, and d Firemen playing on the flames; Villa c set them on fire to hide the theft.His effort to sell the horses led to his arrest.The flames did not reach the convent, where two hundred and fifty pupils were in the dormitories.The fences leading from the convent to the seat of the blaz> were torn down by the farm hands, assisted by the Dominican Fathers from Notre Dame de Grace.For about half an hour the large stone charnel house, which stood but a few feet away from one \u2018of the burning buildings, was threatéh- |\u2019 ed, and the men worked hard to keep the exposed corner from catching fire.The flames spread to the granary, where a thousand bushels of potatoes and five hundred bushels of grain, besides a quantity of - farm implements, were stored.Both buildings were completely destroyed, with their contents.When tne tarm hands, who live in the infirmary, à short distance from the convent, discovered the blaz> at 8 o'clock, the larger barn, in which seven horses were stabled, was a seething furnace, and they were unable to rescue the animals, About two hundn>d head of poultry also perished in the same building.As soon as the fire was discovered the Westmount fire brigade was summoned, but they did not make use of their apparatus.Later in the ewcning Chief Benoit rent a hose waggon and the fire engine of the Chaboillez square station to the scene under the command of Sub- chief Tremblay.The firemen poured water into the ruins all night, the supply being taken from a well close by.The loss is estimated at from $7,000 to $8,000, part of which is covered by in- j surance.CONFESSION OF ARSON.Alfred Brunet.a painter, Ste.Cunegonde, about 26 years of

ATLANTIC ; {TRADING COMPANY.Mr.Crawford, Liberal, pf Portage La | Prairie, who was the first speaker on the North Atlantic Trading Company's Expected That 2,700 Men wills \u2018contract at the afternoon sitting of the House, declared that the Opposition kad elearly set out upon a campaign of \u2018mudslinging.\u201d Their speeches against the government were full of the charge of \u2018graft\u2019 The truth was that the \u2018Bif- tonian\u2019 policy, about which the Conservatives complained so bitterly, had done more than anything else to promote the remarkable progress of the Canadian west.Mr.Crawford brought out the fact that the immigration bounty is not aid by any means on all the arrivals m Europe, but only on those classes that the departmental regulations speci In some instances the bounty only lied, to twenty-five percent of the number of settlers That a vessel brought either from England or the Continent.Mr.Gunn, Conservative, of South Huron, spoke briefly in opposition to the contract and was followed the member for Lunenburg.who made the long: est speech of the day.Mr.MacLean, at the outset of his remarks, corrected a misapprehnsion that he said Mr, Foster had created by his h on this North Atlantic l'rad- ing Company's contract last week, Mr.\u2018Foster \u2018had left the impression that five dollars had been paid under their agreement for every \u2018immigrant that came to Canada from Continental Kur- ope.Speaking before the Canadidn Club of Toronto Mr.Foster had re peated this same statement.I'he truth was that nothing could possibly be more \u2018dotrie and unfair.\u2018The contract made such a thing impossible.\u2018The bonus was only paid on men of the agricul tural class and on female domestics.| When Mr.Northrup, Conservative member for East lastings, was addressing the House on \u2018l'uesday he read rting to come from Mr.\u2018Smart, to Mr.W.1.R.Preston, in which the former spoke of the North Atlantic Trading Company as \u2018your company.\u201d The fact was that no such letter existed.\u2018I'he words actually appeared in a letter to the North At- antic Trading Company, and if Mr.\u201cNorthrup\u2019s mistake was unintentional \u2018# behooved that gentteman to remem- bér that with the public documents before him the making of such charges against members of parliament and otti- | glals was as reprehensible as if 1t had been made with malice.Instead of Mr.Foster throwing out insinuations against Mr.Sifton, late Minister of the Interior, to convey the idea that the latter was himself Interested in the North Atlantic \u2018l'rading Company, Mr.foster should take the manly course of making a formal charge and let the machinery of parliament \u2018probe the thing to the bottom.Mr.Foster also had led the country to believe that both Mr.James A.Smart, late \u2018Minister of the Interior, :and Mr.W.T.R.Preston, Immigra- \u2018tion Commissioner, in London, were interested in this scheme to rob the pub- Flic treasury.\u2018The meanest subject in Fthe land could be hired for a considers- ee NT.ofthe North Atlantic Trading Com Brought Up.ARMLY DEFENDED BY MR.CRAWFORD ~ OF PORTAUE LLA PRAIRIE\u2014A VOTE WILL BE REACHED = ON TUESDAY, tion to slander any man in parliament.When Mr.Foster attacked a tellow member of parliament he should have done so in a way that could be met.Ever since 1896 Mr.Foster had been out of sorts with the world.He was sullen and morose, and went around saying to himsed : \u2018The world 18 out of joint, Oh, cursed spite that 1 was ever born to put it right Mr.Monk had asserted chat Lord Strathcona had nothing to do with the making of this contract.\u2018This, however, was not the case.\u2018I'he correspondence showed that His Lordship was familiar with atl the details in regard to making the contract and it was Lord Strathcona who wrote Mr.Sifton, at- ter the contract had been made, stating that it would have to be confidential and \u2018not made public in any way.The only difference between this contract and the arrangement that prevailed under the late government was that the country had to deal only with one party instead of with some seven hundred immigration agents in Europe.The Opposition made a great fuss over the \u2018confidential\u2019 nature of this contract with the North Atlantic Trading Company.But in so doing they forgot that as good a member of their own party as Sir Charles Tupper had himself recognized the necessity for \u2018confidential\u2019 arrangements 23 years ago, so far as European immigration work was concerned.The government could not do better than continue to utilize the services of this or some other company to carry on its immigration work in Europe, pos sibly with a shorter contract and under closer government inspection than had been applied in the bargain with the North Atlantic Trading Company.Mr.Fowler, Conservative, of King's and Albert, N.B., followed, ip condemnation of the contract, going over the ground of previous Opposition speakers.He was brief, he said, because he did not believe in making a long speech on a contract that was practically cancelled., On motion of Mr.Miller, Liberal, ot South Grey, the debate was adjourned.In answer to Mr.Foster, the Prime Minister stated that the debate would be proceeded with on Tuesday, when a vote would be reached.IN THE SENATE ADDRESS \u2018PRAYING THE KING AND QUEEN TO VISIT CANADA ADOPTED.Ottawa, April 27.\u2014The Senate yesterday accepted with unanimous approval, the resolution adopted in the Commone last week, praying that their Majesties the King and Queen should honor the Dominion with their presence.In moving the resolution, the Hon.R.W.Bcott recalled the fact that in 1850 a similar address had been adopted by the Legislature of Upper and Lower Canada, and on \u2018hat occasion, as or this, the resolution had been moved in the Lower House by a French-Canadian, Sir George Cartier.\u2018That resolution invited Queen Victoria and her consort to visit Canada.Their son, the l\u2019rince of Wales, heir apparent, and now King Edward VII, had come in response tu that invitation.The enthusiasm with which he had been received had not even yet been forgotten.On that oc: casion the Legislature of Upper and Lower Canada had assembled at Quebec to meet the Prince of Wales.Of the 150 gentlemen thus assembled at Quebec in 1860, only two now remain in public life, Senator Carling and himself.Should the King accept this invitation he would find things very different.In 1860 he left London in July, and did not reach Ottawa until September.The time he took in going over the small portion of this continent he then saw was more than Prince Arthur of Con- naught will have required to complete his journey around the world.When here before he had not gone west of Toronto.The western beyond was then a land given over to the buffalo and the Indian.Should he come now he would find there three prosperous and happy provinces.He would find in them men from all parts of the world living in satisfaction under the constitutional government of which he was head.He would find there many former residents of the United States, but none of them favoring the over throw of monarchial and the establishment of republican government.The King's efforts had been directed to bettering the conditions of peoples all over the world.Both the King of England and the President of the United States have been using their influence to promote a better feeling among the nations.It was to be hoped that King Edward would be able to remove from Europe the possibility of future war, the horror of which he well appreciated.In recording the resolution, Senator Lougheed concurred with all Mr.Scott had said of both the King and Queen.It was scarcely necessary for Canada to ive new testimony of loyalty to the Royal Family.That had been done often in the past.À few years ago Canada gave a more practical demonstration of this attachment when she sent her sons and poured out her treasure on distant battlefields.Senator Lougheed affirmed that the King had evinced the greatest interest in Canada, and had appreciated its valué as a part of his Empire.He was serry he could not say so much for the King's advisers.He could not but recall the fact that they had treated this portion of the Empire with a good deal of indifference.Not a British premier FRIDAY, APriL 27, 1906 had ever visited Canada.Not a « à minister had ever come to Canada +.holding office.There had never ea any concerted effort on

Mr.Goldstein, of Montreal, appealed to the committee\u2019 on behalf of the Jews\u2019 request for exemption from the Sunday law.He declared that there were # number of - factories operated by Jews; which were already closed on Saturdays, To force them to close on Sundays ax well was \u2018an injustice.He asked that) those who conscientiously and habitually observe the Seventh Day of the week shall not be probibited from working or operating their establiahments on the first day of the week, provided the work, does not\u2019 disturb the rest of the comm nity.= His amendment also stipulated that} such establishments, - although in opera tion on Sunday, were not to be open far traffic.: Mr.Ames, M.P., Montreal, asked if: the Jews were given this concession; would they be willing that the Tod should punish any of their faith whe: work on Sunday.CS Mr.Goldstein did not see that this, was necessary; if a few did not keep the Jewish Sabbath this law would compel them to regard the Christian day of rest.In answer to a question, Mr.Goldstein\u2019 said there were forty thousand Jews-in Canada, 25,000 of whom are in Montreat The Rev.Mr.Sheader alluded to the\u2019 fact that the census report shows sixteen thousand Jews in all Canady.\u2019 There were, headded, not more than 2H male wage-earners in the whole country: belonging to the Adventist faith.At the suggestion of Mr.Miller, M.P., the transportation interests and the represens tatives of the Lord\u2019s Day Alliance will ing of the merchandise that 1s beinggs \"| penditure $4,902, ure Queen of Spain is of white Mech- n, net, draped over white satin, the itt hand-painted in a design of flowers Sevres blue, outlined in silver thread.Another charming frock, of orchid cold éfepe de Chine, is made in the Pins ss mode, With an fiipire bolero of dull ver, tissue, and shaded\u2019 flowers, fastened \u2018paste\u2019 diamond cabochony, The bot;

\"The surgeon-in-chief, Dr.A.Lapthorn Smith, stated that the 157 patients received during the year had remained in the hospital 2 total of 3,148 days, an in- \u2018cpease of exactly 900 days more than last -yéar.This made an average of 20 days \u2018for each patient.This average increase was due to a few desperate cases which hid to wait a month and more before they were fit to underge an operation, \"end bad to remain six or eight weeks afterwards to recover completely.There bad been 168 major operations and 100 hold a conference to try and agree ow the form in which the law dealing vit d rived at for some tima.- Coy, Cousins, Schafheitlin, Lichtenstein, \u201cTPE TR WE Sand sions por EE er EE SA A eV EE the transportation question sho 6 , drawn.14 \\ | yfinor operations, and as 30 patients ne- ceived treatment only, there were 275 operations performed on 118 patients, - Mr.K.8, Cloustan;

making calls in Mexico at Progresso, Vera Cruz and Tampico.We have, on both inward and outward voyages called at Halifax; and, during the winter season have made Halifax our terminal port.\u2018The exports from (\u2018anada, especially to the Republic of Mexico, which were nil prior to the inauguration of this line, are increasing each month, and I am\u2019 pleased to say we have been able to secure sufficient cargo lo fill each departure, but we have labored under great difficulties owing to not having any return cargo from Mexico.\u2018Canada does not consume very much that Mexico produces, with the exception of raw sugar, but owing to the West Indies having preference of 33 1-3 percent, it is almost impossible for Mexico to compete.As Mexico con- | tributes 50 percent of the subsidy in support of the steamship line, would it not be possible for our government to arrange that Mexico, on sugar both raw and manufactured, could have the same preference as the British West Indies, and thus materially help in the developing of our trade with Mexico.whose financial position drives them to the acceptance of state pensions, and that the government will submit legislation to the House to this effect.It is stated that there was also a discussion of the government s Nunday observance law and that the feeling was that the mea- wre should be made as stringeat as pos- mble without doing injustice to any legitimate interests.CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES PARISIAN JOURNALISTS VIEW OF POLITICAL PARTIES IN THE CHAMBER.Pars, April 26\u2014A group of Parisian journalists, who sought io reach a common agreement rspecting the political partes in the Chamber of Deputies have, after showing much difference of opinion, issued the following list, which appears to have secured the most adherents: The Extreme Right, composed of four or five royalists; the Liberals, or Rouction- snes, :ncluding Royalists, Bonapartists, and Rallied Republicans, Progressists, under the leadership of M.Ribot; Radicals, led by Henri Brisson; Radical Socialists, under the leadership of MM.Pelletan, Berteaux and Peuch; Unified Socialists, led by M.Jaures, and finally the Extreme Left, composed of Revoiu- tionists, like MM.Vaillant, De Jean- sites and Walter.These groups are di vided and sub-divided into numerous sections, rendering accurate classification impossible.Several individuals comsti- tute a class apart.\u2018Thus M.Sombat éwes allegiance to himself alone; Ernest Roche, Henri Rochefort\u2019s representative, is described as a revolutionary, patriotic Bocialist, while Aristide Boutard has the proud distinction of uniting in himself every shade of Republicanism, having been known to vote with every sec Yon in turn.[ES BRITISH POLICY-HOLDERS THOSE OF MUTUAL LIFE OF NEW YORK SHOW DISSATISFACTION.London, April 26.\u2014In accordance with the resolution adopted on April 20 by the \u2018ommitiee of British policyholders of the Vural Lite Insurance Company or Yew York, a circular bas been 1ssuad to al the pohcyholders in the United Kingdom.This circular contends that white \\be suggestions by the trustees that an tcluary be appointed to verify the re- re and liabilities might reassure the Felicyholders as to the solvency of the \u2018mpany, 1t would not remove the eerivus f4uees of dissatisfaction with the pres- ti management, nor aid the policynold- E18 10 securing the proper control of the mpany's affairs in the future.While Bot accepting as true all the charges in the United States against the Menagement, the circular states that Without radical change in the manage- Bent, no provision for the auditing of * \u2018OMpany's affairs from time to time r suffice tn satisfy the people of the ip Kingdom.The circular ends = the following statement: \u2018Should ds réseen circumstances frustrato the Complishiment of this object, it would roe + necessary demand that British a be separated from the Ameri- fon and that British policyholders be med ini a separate organization.VHITEFISH FRY FOR LAKE BRIE.pads, me, April 26\u2014 The local or peer has sent a million white Ty ta Port Staniey to be placed Q Lace Lr, which at present cannot be a financial success without return freights.I am confident that in a short time both Cuba and Mexico will be large purchasers of Canadian produce, also manufactured goods.\u2018When the Tariff Commission met in Halifax, I asked Mr.De Wolf to lay before the Commission the difficulty tha: steamship lines trading between Canada.Cuba and Mexico, and also the West Indies, labored er owing to return cargoes being almost unobtainable.A large amount of revenue to Canadian steamship owners, and also | to the Canadian railways is Jost because nearly all the exports from these countries, especially in winter, come to Canada via the United States.Last winter between thirty-five thousand and forty thousand tons of raw sugar was landed at New York, destined to the refineries here.If the preference was reduced by, say, 10 percent for sugar coming fo United States ports, and the full preference given to raw sugar coming direct to Canadian ports, all v Indian and other sugars would come to Halifax in winter, and sugar used by the Montreal refineries come, during the St.Lawrence season, by this route to Montreal.\u2018The same may be said of pineapples, which are largely exported from the island of Cuba and the West Indies.Canada consumes about a million and a quarter bunches of bananas a year.All these are practically imported via New York\u2014very little benefit accruing to our railways, and no profit to our steamship lines or to the ports of Halifax and Montreal.\u2018I would point out that the Government some years ago reduced the duty on cocoanuts coming to a direct Canadian port to fifty cents per hundred.The result bas been that almost the entire importations of cocoanuts have come to either the port of Halifax or Montreal.Practically speaking, the same has occurred on importations of molasses which, if brought to a direct port, is free.The result has been that all molasses: imported into Canada has come by direct steamers to Canadian ports.I feel certain that if a small duty was charged on pineapples, bananas and other tropical fruits, also coffec.and made free if imported direct to a Canadian port, an increased trade would likely develop between Canada, Cuba, the West Indies and the Central American republics that would be of vast im- rtance to our country.By obtain- ng cargo both ways fast steamers could be employed, and many articles that Canada does not now export owing to inferior ocean transportation could be sold at remunerative prices and landed in good eondition Mr.Campbell recently wrote the conditions as above stated, and asking that body to study them and, if pos- gible, advance trade with the countries referred to.In his letter, he said: \u2014 \u2018A considerable trade to both Havana and Mexico has developed, and the exports to the Island of Cuba and to the Republic of Mexico for the fiscal year will likely amount to between $500.000 and $700,000.Prior to our o erating this service the exports to Cuba were exceedingly small, and to Mexico almost nil.; \u2018While we expect to find no difficulty in filling our steamers from Canada with Canadian produce and manufactured goods, we have, up to the present, been unable to secure cargo from Mexico with the exception of a few thousand bales of sisal hemp and a few hundred bags of coffee, also a few small shipments of goat skins and hides.;

the service eannot exist on merely the freights from Canada and the subsidy mow paid by the Canadian Government.\u2019 Tre Council of the Board of Trade after considering the communication, wrote, through its secretary, to Mr.Campbell, as follows: \u2014 \u2018Dear Sir,\u20141 beg to inform you that your letter of April 4, desiring that the council of this board should pass a resolution favoring the granting of the reference in favor of Mexico on sugar, has been considered bv the council, which directed me to say, in reply, that it was unanimous in deeming it impossible to advocate the granting of the preference to a foreign country, seeing that the spirit and intention of the preference is to increase trade with the Empire.\"The Council is.however, much in terested in the success of the line of stcamers operated by vour company be- | tween Montreal and Mexico, and was rejoiced to hear that.in spite of the dis abilities regarding return cargo to which you refer.the line is progresmng- The following is Mr.Campbell's reply, as sent to Mr.Hadrill :\u2014 \u2018Dear Bir,\u2014I am in receipt of your letter of April 18, which is in reply to mine of April 4, addressed to your pre sid-nt, Mr.F.H.Mathewson.\u2018I regret that such an influential body as the Montreal Board ot Lrace cannot pass a resolution in favor of a reference being given on sugar from Mexico similar to that from British possessions.1 note that the council\u2019s objection is because the spirit and intention of the preference, when it was given, was to increase trade within the | Empire.\u2018It is unnecessary for me to point out, as you must be aware, that our exports to the British West Indies since the inauguration of the preférence have practically not increased.lt would be well, as probably the members of your council are not familiar with the amount of Canada\u2019s exports to the Bnt- ish possessions\u2014especialty the West Indies, to compile the exact figures since the prefereaze came into force.I sup pose you can also lay before the council the value of exportsior what the West India have purchased from the United States within the same period.Canada is giving these British posses sions 331-3 percznt preference.\u2018The United States gives them nothing; but their trade is entirely in favor of the American Republic.On the other hand Mexico bas hberally subsidized a steamship line to trade with our country, whereas, not one of the West India ls- lands fas offered, although receiving an enormous henefit in our markets, to contribute in any way towards batter transportation facili\u2018ies.It appears to me that if it can be shown that the preference during the last decade has not increased, Canada\u2019s exports to the countries which have received the preference and which have not given Canada any better facilities in their markets or helped financially towards better transportation, your council should recommend to the government some recognition to a country that offers and is paying substantially towards the development of trade between Canada and that country, \u2018As the Montreal Board of Trade is the leading trade organization in Canada I should imagine that one of its first principles should be to secure the increase not only of the trade of Canada but that of the port of Montreal.\u201cIf you can clearly demonstrate to your council that the preference given to the Islands above mentioned has been the means of Canada selling in those markets an increased quantity of both our agricultural and manufactured goods, then the Montreal Board of Trade is justified in the stand they are taking, but I feel certain you will find that our trade since the preference came into force has been entirely in favor of the West Indies and no material increase has taken place in our ex- 5 HAT'S the time to take a Cas- caret.\u2014When your tongue is coated, ~\u2014When you have Heartburn, Belobing, Acid Risings In throat, ~When Pimples begin to peep out, \u2014When your Stomach Gnaws or Burns, =\u2014That\u2019s the time to check coming Constipation, Indigestion and Dyspepsia.- One single Candy Cascaret will do it if taleen at the right minute, just when you iat feel the need of it.A \u201cCascaret In time is worth nine\u201d lnter-on.* * + Casoarets don't Purge, nor Weaken, nor waste Digestive Julces in flooding out the.Bowels, like Salts, Castor Oil, \u201cPhysics.\u201d .But, \u2014 they act like Exercise on the Muscles that shrink and expand the Intestines, thus pushing the Food on Naturally to its Finish.When the Bowel Muscles grow flabby Wosk, or lazy from want of Exercise, the When You have a Bad Breath Food does not tickle tnem enough to make them act.That's Constipationi Castor Oil, or \u2018\u2019Physic\u2019\u2019 will help to slide out one load of trouble, but they can\u2019t help the Cause.* * * In fact, they weaken the Bowel- Muscles more than ever by slackening them, and by doing work for them which they should do for themselves.When your Arm-Muscles grow flabby théy need Exercise, to strengthen them \u2014not a sling to support them.When your Bowel-Muscles grow flabby they need Exercise to strengthen them\u2014not \u2018\u2018Physic\u2019\u2019 to pamper them.Then carry the little ten-cent \u201cVest Pocket\u201d\u2019 box constantly with you, and take a Cascaret whenever you suspect you need it.One Cascaret at a time will promptly cleanse a foul Breath, or Coated Tongue, thus proving clearly its ready, steady, sure, but mild and effective action.* * * A thousand dollars a year spent In amusements could not buy for you half so much hearty Happiness, solid Comfort, Cheerful Temper and Health Insurance as that little ten-cent \u2018\u2019Vest Pocket\u201d Box of Cascarets will bring you.All Druggists sell them\u2014over ten million boxes a year, for six years past.Be very careful to get the genuine, made only by the Sterling Remedy Company and never sold in bulk, Every tablet stamped CCC.\" !

discussing the elements of the fiscal problem, the author of \u201cBritish Trade and the Zollverein Issue\u2019 shows that a wise fiscal policy can, at best, enable a nation to make the most of its natural advantages.He insists, as has been insisted time after time in the \u201cWitness,\u201d that, in.the long run, industries must come to be carried.om 1m those parts of the world best suited to them, and that commerce must flow chiefly in the great highways which nature has fashioned.The true claim that it has given the United Kingdom all the wealth she enjoys, but that, by favoring no private interest at the expense of the state.it has given the nation free play for its energies, No unsuitable industry has been artifically fostered.The consumer has been left free to exchange the products of his labors for the best value the world has to offer.Monopoly has not been suffered to raise its head.The processes of natural selection have guided the activities of the British people into those channels where most profitably they can be employed.In a chapter entitled \u2018Why we import,\u201d the author graphically describes the economic position of the United Kingdom.The United Kingdom has an area of only 120,000 square miles, and a population of 43,000,000 odd, or about 360 persons to the square mile.What would the position be if Great Britain shut all her ports, burnt her ships, and resolved to live upon what she could produce by work done upon her 77.000, 000 acres?She has about 700,009 acres of inland waters: 3,000,000 acres of woods and plantations; 13,000,000 acres of mountain and heath land: 48,000,000 acres under orops and grass; 1,600,000 acres of Irish bog and marsh; and a; balance of about 11,000,000 acres, which are either barren or used for roals, towns, pleasure grounds, and so forth.On this land it is estimated that food to the value of $1,500,000,000 could be raised, and if the natural resources of.the United Kingdom were alone developed there is no doubt that the nation could exist, although it would be after a very meagre fashion.Upon this it is remarked: \u2018If we had confined our- \u2018selves to the use of what our own land \u2018produced, or could be made by human \u2018gkill to produce, we should have been \u2018a poor race.Cribbed.cabined, and \u2018confined in our 120.000 square miles, \u2018under skies not always bright, never \u2018sure of a bountiful harvest, denied \u2018every product that needs a tropical \u2018sun, our wits unsharpened by contact \u2018with other races.our industries un- \u2018stimulated by foreign example and un- \u2018fed by foreign materials, we should SE pee ca gn OY pe I A EE me Ce, \u2018tainment in every department of hu- \u2018man effort.\u201d But because a different policy was followed, because the nation availed itself of the riches of the entire globe, by bringing goods from all the corners of the world, by seeking -and finding and shipping, Great Britain has attained commercial supremacy in a world containing one thousand five hundred millions of inhabitants.And the moral is that it is Great Britain's imports that have made her rich, as her native resources are barely sufficient to give plain fare and precious few, if any, \u2018luxuries,\u2019 or even comforts.The protectionists of the United States and our protectionists n{ home are always deploring the neccsity for importing anything and preachi.ig the doctrine of \u2018self-containment.When Imports fall off they rejoice, when they increase they lewail and utter jeremiads.But even the United States in one year, 1903, in spite of the Dingley tariff, and although she 1s so largely indebted to other countries for\u2019shigping services and interest on borrowed capital\u2014which she has to pay, by the way, in exports\u2014imported $1,025,751,538 worth of foreign produce; while Canada imported in the same year foreign produce to the \u2018amount \u2018of $241,- 214,961.The fear of imports is the beginning »f protection, and it is strange that such a fear should exist among enlightened statesmen when, as Mr.Money says, even a savage knows that when he takes a laden canoe across the sea Me loses unless he can bring it back containing as good or bett&r value than that with whieh he set out.\u2018We live on an \u2018island,\u2019 says Mr.Money, of Great Britain, \u2018and, to state an elementary fact in \u2018simple terms, an island is richer when * goods are brought into it, and poorer \u2018when goods are taken out of it\u201d That is an axiom that applics to continents as well, but protectionists cannot or will \u2018not see it, because they gain individual advantages over their fellows by a pro- teclive policy.The odd thing is that any very great number of the other fellows put up with it.One thing, bow- ever, has come to the British protectionist and imperialist with Chamberlainism.He has got a greater breadth of view, and he no longer urges that all the commodities brought by ships to his shores are inimical to the welfare of Lis roun- try.He effusively admits that the imports from a fourth of the human race, those from the British Empire over seas are all right.So long as the colonial contribution is one of foodstuffs the English manufacturer will think imperially.Should the colonies begin to eontri- bute what he manufactures the British manufacturer would, like our own, cease to think imperially, and want our products shut out as much as any \u2018others.Any how, the British \u201ctariff reformer\u2019 did not begin to enthuse about Mr.Chamberlain's proposals until be added to his campaign programme a fiat against foreign importations.FINANCIAL REVIEW, Fallacies are hard to die.We may scotch them over and over again, but only to find that they have more than the proverbial nine lives of the cat.How often have political economists shown that waste can never lead to the wealth or the benefit of the world; that the prodigality of they spendthrit is like a maelstrom, from which a few may extract riches, but whose quality is destruction.Notwithstandi ing that, the man who spends lavishly and immorally 1s often described as a good fellow, a benefactor of his kind, because hé gives other people work.With regard to cateclysms of nature, even philosophers have aot \u2018disdained to say, \u2018It\u2019s an ill wind that blows nobody good,\u201d while the man In the street will boldly declare that such happenings make for all-round good times on the whole.\u2018That is what is being said about the San Francisco disaster to-day.Reputable journals are writing that the fire will be a source of profit, as \u2018it will start a \u201cboom and give employment to thous- \u2018ands.\u2019 It is the old, old fallacy that because the happening may bring pro fit to the individu, it must also bring profit to the community.As the \u2018 Bvening Post\u2019 points out, the losses will be widely distributed; millions of \u2018money will be taken from the pockets of stockholders of fire insurance companies in the East and in Europe; other millions will be drawn from non-resi- dent investors in San Francisco property; but, however much this distr- bution may lessen and even conceal the shock to the financial system ot the United States, it can never turn the loss of what cost two hundred millions into gain ; there is but one way to restore the fixed capital which has been destroyed.and that is the way ot thrift and abstinence.lost their property will have to tollow the unchangeable law of waste and re- pair\u2014will have to work hard and live frugally for years to come.The San Francisco disaster inevitably .\u2018 # 3 \u2018have reached but a low degree of at-! hit Walk Street pretty

was practically rliscounted,.and le strang hands in which stocks were held after the market's reaction made the position favorable for a hoost.Then came Wednesday and Thursday of \u2018last week, with their appalling annals of destruction.and naturally the stock market, for the time being, \u2018reeled under the blow.\u201d How the money lossés in California will affgit tbe rest of the country as a whole and in detail, necessarily remains to be seen.It cannot be expected that the merchants who have suffered loss can meet their engagements as readily as heretofore, and that capnot help affecting the manufacturers of the east more or less, although \"California .has .always been a.finañttal centre itself, and less dependent on: the east than the other western states.\u2018The railways have suffered a good deal structurally, and they must also suffer Joss from general hindrandes to business, apart from the fact that the happening of the earthquake is likely covsiderably to diminish San Francisco's population.To make up for losses, haweyer, at léaat, to some extent, there will be large profits to be made by the transportation of building materials and other supphe&- Iv is felt \u2018that\u2019 with so much loss dnd with 80 many problems presenting thémsalves for solution, the proper attitude of the stock market should be a waiting ond.It is, we learn, however, the opinion \u201cof some of the wisest, best-informed and most conservative members of the Wall Street financial community that if, as time goes on, business failures, as a result of the disaster, are not numerous, and it is seen that the work of repairing the destruction is progressing with reasonable rapidity, no notable decline may.be.expected in the stock market having the earthquake and fire for cause.=~ In the meantime, the New York mer- ket is feeling the initial strain: badly.Upwards.of .three million dollars .leit New York yesterday for San Francisco, in addition to fully twenty-three

a result o a fall.Last evening about 8 o'clock Miss Burrell accidentaily tripped and fell down a short flight of stairs in the house, receiving what, at the time, appeured Lo be a very slight injury on the head.À physician was culled, who, after cxam- nation, pronounced the wound to.be not serious.Miss Burrell was put.to.bed.and appeared to be resting comfortably.This morning, at an early hour.it was noticed that a change for the worpe had come, over the patient.The Toft rites of the church were performed #nd the physician, again sumnjoned, but before \u2018his arrival life: had departed.The coroner was notified and afte, hearing the facts of the case issued a burial permit withoul calling a jury, death being evidently due purely to accident.Miss Burrell came from Leavenworth, Kansas, about a year ago and resided in the home of the late Dr.Perrault, of Longue Pointe, until the time of his death.On Tuesday last she went to Westmount to take the position of housekeeper for the

HONEST LIVELIHOOD.One of the most extraordinary resolutions ever passed by the Roads Committee\u2019 was made kiown at the City Hall yesterday.\u201cIt involves a scheme to divide up the whole city of Montreal into districts fof the purposes of aldermanic patronage and graft.1t also aims at preventing widows who at present own carts that are employed by the city from any longer obtaining a livelihood Dy this means, by providing that in future no carts belonging to widows shall be employed.The resolutions say that the Roads Committee has resolved that for the purposes of administration the city shall be -divided into the following districts, with an alderman at the head of each to supervise the work of the Roads Department:\u2014Ald.Lariviere, St, Mary's, Papineau, and Hochelaga; Ald.N.Lapointe, Ste.Cunegonde and St.Henn; Ald.Leclafre, St.Jean Baptiste, St.Denis, and Duvernay; Ald.White, Centre, West, and St.Lawrence; Ald.Gir- oux, East, St.James, Lafontaine, and St.Louis; Ald.O'Connell, St.Anu\u2019s, St, Gabriel, and half of St.George's; Ald.J.B.A.Martin, St.Jcs:ph, St.Andrew, and half of St.George\u2019s, It has also been decided that the foremen in charge of work must notify the alderman at the head of each division whenever there are any carters or laborers to be employed.In future no carts owned by a widow will be employed.These resolutions wen» hurriedly passed by the Roads Committee at its last meeting during the temporary absence from the committee room of Mr.Barlow, the city surveyor, who was not informed on his maturn of what had been done, and who remained ignorant of the committee\u2019s resolutions until he saw the min- £| utes of the meeting two days ago.The result of the committee\u2019s action is that the city surveyor is prohibitad from employing anyone to do any work in futyre, but if he wants a carter or a road sweeper he will be obliged to go to one of the foremen and ask him to ask the alderman undo whose patronage lies the district where the laborer is required to appoint such laborer.In connection with this resolution u letter was Yead from the Mayor at the | meeting of the Roads Committee yester- M day.r.Ekers stated that a poor widow named Bourdon, who owned à horse and cart which had been employed by the Roads Department for the last three years, had been refused work.The letter proceeded: \u2018Do you not think that such a determination on the part of the committee will Tead to hardship unless there is some grave reason why widows owning horses should be discriminated against, and not placed on the same foot- ting as ordinary individuals?Ald.O\u2019Connell asked why this had been done.The chairman explained that it was on account of complaints received that the owners of the carts bothered the foremen, and a rumor was in circulation to the effect that widows were favored.There were also \u2018reports of misconduct.Ald.O'Connell\u2014Then let us get rid of the emplovees who have misbehaved.1 am given to understand that all widows formerly employed have been dismissed.Mr.Barlow\u2014That is so.Ald.O'Connell\u2014If these widows are good, respectable people, why should we make a report against them?It seems to me very unfair.Ald.Giroux\u2014If you wanted a carter, would.you employ a man or a woman who owned a cart?Ald.O\u2019Connell-These women cannot starve.They have just as much Tight to earn a living as anybody else.Why should you discriminate against them Ald.Giroux\u2014Women have no right in the carting business.Ald.Leclaire\u2014Yes, they have.They have just as much right as anybody else.These widows have to work for their living, and must be protected the same as the men.Ald.O\u2019Connell\u2014If 1 had known at the time what was the meaning of the resolution, I would certainly have voted againat it.Ald.J.B.A.Martin declared that the new resolution would call forth unfavorable comment.The chairman sneered at the complaints and remarked that it was a tempest in a teapot.- e committee decided to acknowledge the Mayor's letter, and to state that the matter would be carefully considered.A petition was presented by the busi ness firms on Mill street against the proposed track of the Southern Counties ailway down that street, urging that the xtreme narrowness of the street would not permit of such a track being run without seriously affecting their business interests.The petition stated: \u2018That it has come to our knowledge qhat a certain ruilway or corporation is sceking entrance to the city of Montreal by way of Victoria Bridge by a line which includes Mill street.It is most undesirable that Mill street should be utilized for that purpose, on account of the congested state of the traffic on that street, which is one of the busiest thoroughfares in the factory district of the city; and that the proposed railway would seriously interfere with the effective working of the large manufacturing concerns on the street, and that it would be a great menace to life and property, not only to the undersigned, but to the public generally.\u2019 The petition was signed by the following firms: The Oglvie Flour Mills Company, the Montreal Rolling Mills Company, the Monreal Packing Company, the Dominion Linseed Oil Company, the Peck Rolling Mills Company, the Shed- den Forwarding Company, Cunningham & Wells, the minion Transport Company, the Canada Sugar Refining Com- ny, Meldrum Bros.and the Dominion oal Company.Scveral representatives of firms signatory to the petition addressed the committee.Ald.Lariviere explained that Mill street Was under the control of the government, not of the city, and that the latter had no right to refuse the running of a line down the street.The committee would, however, make representations at Ottawa on: the subject.Mr.Macdonald, manager of the Montreal Street Railway, appeared before the committee and explained that the company was about to erect a power house at the corner of Notre Dame and Raymond streets, to cost over a millon dollars, and to he completed in October.He applied for permission to erect\u201d an overhead viaduct \u2018across Notre Dame street to connect property.owned by the company on both sides of the street, to be used for transporting supplies arriving by at.The application was referred to a subcommittee for report.; ; After hearing a delegation which in cluded Mr.Messier, Mayor of Delorimier, Mn U.H.Dandurand, and Mr.St.Amour, the committee decided to request the Canadian Pacific Railway to proceed at once with the construction of a tunnel under their tracks at Iberville street\u2014 work the company is obliged to do under agreement with the city.THE WASTE OF ARITHMETIC.Enormous Amount.of Energy Consumed in Unnecessary Calculations.PROF.McLENNAN SHOWS BUSINESS MEN THE ADVANTAGE OF THE METRIC SYSTEM.\u2018Two-thirds of a year in the life of every child would be saved by the adoption of the metric system of weights and measures.\u2019 Such is the estimate made by committees of inquiry into the subject\u2014an estimate endorsed by Professor J.C.Mec- Lennan, of the University of Toronto, in an address to a gathering of business men and others in the reading room of the Board of Trade yesterday afternoon.The address, which was given at the instance of the Department of Inland Revenue, Ottawa, showed the advantage of the metric system over that of British weights and measures; the relationship which metric standards of weights, measures, length and capacity each bears to the other; the facility with which arithmetical calculations can be made, and the comparative ease with which commercial transactions can be carried out.The examples which Mr.McLennan gave in illustration of his argument were striking demonstrations of the utility of the metric system.For instance, he showed the difference in the two systems of reducing measures to a common demonstration, by the following caleulations:\u2014 Metric system\u2014Reduce to millimetres following distances: \u2014 8 kilometres 7 hectoretres 8 decaimnetres 9 metres 6 dec:metres 1 centimetre 2 millimetres.No calculation is necessary, the answer being 8.789.612 millimetres.British svstem\u2014Reduce to inches the following distance:\u2014 miles furlongs rods yards feet inches.Quite an elaborate caleulation was ne- necessary before the answer of 350,007 D 5000-14 Or FripAy, Apr, 27, J00e me inches was obtained.It wy.with calculations to sind tne o à tank, the weight of w.or the pressure on the 1 oc: : when

system also claim that its adoption ly the British Empire, including its dependencies, would greatly assist in preserving our foreign trade, and also constitute a most valuable means of extending it Our consuls have frequently reported that we lose trade in consequence of our weights and measures not being under stood in other countries.At the pres ent time forty-three of the countries of the world have adopted thc metric sve tem as their sole official and legal sys tem of weights and measures.Among these are the publics of South America, Egypt and Mauritius in Africa.Japan.Java and twenty-eight ports in China.in Asia, and in all the countries of Europe with the exception of Great Britain and Denmark.The metric system has heen legalized in Great Britain and Ireland.and in most of.the British dependencies, as well as in the United States, but it has not vet been exclusively adopted tw there countries.Prof.McLennan's addross was most attentively listened to.and at the crn

Reduction.CHIEF BENOIT DOES NOT WANT DEPUTY NAMED YELL.Alderman Yates informed the Fire and Light Committee yesterday after noon that the Montreal Light, Heat \u2018& Power Company had mude no delinite offer to the sub-committee which was appointed to confer with them on the gus question.Alderman Ward then moved that a supplementary report be prepared for the council, to include tne following items :\u2014 The offer made by the Greenshields Company, some time ago; the report &.the chiefs of staffs on the questions asked them, as regards cost of establishing a gas plant; the city attorneys opinion as to the position of the city ut the end of the gas contract; the power of the city as to whether it can pue down mains and erect works now; the lawyers\u2019 opinion as to the manner and power of \u201che city to raise money to buy or establish a plant; the clause regarding gas that was to be in the amendment to the charter before the Quebec Legislature, and whether it was refused or not, and if it was refused, for what reasons; as to whether the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company bad made any direct offer or not.Alderman Yates objected to the last clause, saying that the report ot the sub-committee and the supplementary report should not be mixed.Sub-Chief Tremblay suggested a minute insp2:tion of all the buildings in the wards of St.Henri and Ste.Uune- gonde.Alderman Ward thought that in view of the extensive improvements asked for by Sub-Chief Tremblay, it would be well to also find out whether the other wards were up to the standard.He considered that the two wards in ques | tion should be 18 well equipped with fire apparatus as the rest of the city.Chief Benoit stated that a general report was in course of preparation and he also recommended that no action should be taken in the matter ot appointing a deputy chief.The committee agreed to this.It was decided that the contracts for the supplying the usual quantity of ice to the differant

evidence of the regard with which Mr, M.K.Rittenhouse, of Clu- cago, holds the people who were lus friends in ms boyhood days when he lived around Jorden.Mr.Rittenhouse s lumber business in Chicago has made bim a millionnaire several times over, and in the midst of his wealth he has never forgotten his old-time friends ot the Niagara District.Victoria Hall at Vineland is a lasting testimony to his generosity.Besides this, he has built a school house, which the chil dren of those who associated with hin in youth daily attend.Both buildings were put up at large expense, and are marvels of complsteness in every way.The school enables the children of its district to be more comfortably housed than those of any other place in the country, and Victoria Hall affords the people a place in which to meet, hold entertainments, etc, that makes them the envied of others who cannot enjoy such privileges.oo The people of the district naturally have a very warm place in their hearls for Mr.Rittenhouse, who seems to have discovered the most practical and desirable form of philanthropy.What he may yet do for his old home and his old friends no one can say.One thing he is expected to do for a certainty is to build himself a mansion near where he was born at Jordan, and come back and spend the remainder of his days under the Union Jack.THE FATE OF EMIGRANTS TO NEW BRUNSWICK LITTLE

The city of Kingston, on Tuesday last, passed a by-law forbidding People to spit on sidewalks, pavements, passage ways, stairways or entrances to bulid- ings used by the public, or in rooms, halls, buildings or places to which the public resort, or in the street cars, or ublic conveyances within that ty.ersons guilty of infractions of the same are liable to a fine of from 81 to $50.On Nov.9, 1904, a similar by-law was adopted by the City Council of Montreal.The penalty for violating the regulation was to be a fine not exceeding forty dollars or imprisonment for not Jonger than two months, Up to the present, notwithstanding the general disregard of the by-law, and although the chief of police has given orders that it should be enforced.this by-law 1s, ractically, a dead letter.Who has eard of any arrests under it?Even the lacards that the aldermen proposed to rave put up about the streets have gons into oblivion.NOVA SCOTIA ESTIMATES.Halifax, N.S., April 26\u2014The provin- vial

metyrned to Montreal last niglt.Mr.Kingman, in an interview this morning, said that he found the whole > Calitornia, and particularly southern alifornia, vezy prosperous.Ihe winter there had peen à wet one, aml while is had been very disappothting to the tourists, it had meant much for the peo fe, for it had ensured a bounuful har west.Los Angeles was boomug, the buildings spreading out in all divections, d prosperity being everywhere in evr- nee.In San Francisco they stayed at both the Palace and St.Francis hotels, each of which was full to the doors, having ebcht about a thousand guests.\u2018Fo sil ià the palm garden of the l\u2019alace Hotel reminded one of being in the Waldorf- Astoria.There was a eotistant streem of people coming in andl going out\u2014 w h, fashion, beauty, and hie on every band \u2018No one,\u201d he said, \u2018could have dreamed that such a calamity could possibly have visited the place.The whole city was throbbing; with life in the full tide.While we were there the people were doing their Easter shopping, and I particularly recall the crowds who were Visiting one great departmental store.The place was Élled with costly, beautiful, and dainty goods, vet a week later the whole thing was gone\u2014laid flat.No one who has mot been there can realize what it will mean to build the city again.Many of the buildings were as substantial as any here, and more inrposing-\u2014ten, Lwelve and fourteen stories high, of steel and stone, and apparently fireproof.These have been swept away, and it will take us some time to realize what the disaster means.; Frem San Francisco Mr.Kingman went to Vancouver, which city he found to be steadily and solidly growing.There nas Bo boom, but there was something bet- ter\u2014a steady rising of the tide, plenty of building, and the class of buildings becoming all the time more substantial end- permanent.The peovle there had no shadow of -loubt as to the future of their city.On the journey east,

make them a direct source of profit.Quite a number of the passengers on the train on which he travelled had selected that route sim- to enjoy the scemery of the Rockies Bear passengers included Viscount Aoki, Japanese minister at Washington; several German merchants from Shanghai; two United States army officers from the Philippines; Admiral Noel, of the China squadron; the Danish consul from Shanghai, and a number of Ameri- GANS.Another thing that forced itself upon his attention was the fact that the company could not afford to stand still in the competitive race for business.Their 88.\u2018Empress of China,\u2019 for instance, of 000 tons, was very small compared with \u2018Jim\u2019 Hills great steamer, tne \u2018Minnesota,\u2019 which he saw at Seattle on its arrival from China and Japan.He had a long talk with Captain Randall, the commander, who told him that his ship had Lifted 22,000 tons dead weight, and had gone out from Seattle drawing 38 feet.\u2018That shows,\u2019 said Mr.Kingman, \"what ot have to buck up against in the com: i or trans Pecific business.The #1 boats can offer advantages in rates and facilities for handling a cargo which po small steamer could look at.Why.ane train of 65 cars came out from Chicago to Seattle.and the \u2018Minnesota\u2019 took on board the entire train, cars and everything except the locomotive, as one them in her cargo.; Mr.Kingman spoke of the very satis- feetory immigration inte the Canadian West, remarking that the most valuable class of immigrants were those who were coming in from the United ftates.They came in long trains, with their horses, farm utenails and equipment, ready to begin the intelligent cul- vation of the soil immediately they ended from the train, and they were éerning
