By-Law to be Amended.SHOPS TO.BE OPEN TILL NOON, THE PROPOSAL OF ALD.- LE PROULX © f\u2014 \u2018 Ald.Proulx, chairman of the Police Committee, yesterday afternoon promis- ! ed to move in Council an amendment to the by-law prohibiting barbers\u2019 shops from opening on Sundays.The extent of the ame ent will be that they may keep their shops open till noon.This step will be taken to satisfy the hotel proprietors in the city, who yesterday presented a petition to the Police Com- niittee asking for an alteration in the law, as the æjosing of barbers\u2019 shops on Sundays wosked great inconvenience to hotel guests.À long discussion arose out of a state- nient by Mr.O.Campeau, chief of police, that he had been obliged to take on seven constables who did not know French, and that after three months they had learned very little of the language.A suggestion was made that the city council be asked for an instructor for policemen, but eventually, on the suggestion of the chairman, the matter was left in the hands of the chief, with discretionary powers, the seven men to be retained on the understanding that they acquire some knowledge of French.A letter from the Shipping Federation to the Harbor Commissioners, rding harbor front protection, was read.The letter declared that the members of the ederation will \u2018see that proper gang- 8 at each ship with lamps at the

on the wharves and quays, a grappling hook, grappling irons, and life buoys with line attached, together with a printed notice giving instructions for the treatment of persons appar drowned, a distinguishing light\u2018 being placed thereon for night use; That the counter sunk bollards on the jrbarves be covered over and filled in hile not in use, to prevent persons tripping over them; that movable barricades be fitted at the end of the sheds and edges of the wharves to reach the ; iat the Police Committee issue or- rs that \u2018all cemstables doing duty on wharves make themselves familiar with the pesition of the life saving apparatus, and that they pass an examination .and receive a certificate in rendering first aid to persons who have fallen into the harbor, which is part of the duty of the London metropolitan police orce.The letter concluded with the statement that the federation appreciated the seriousness of the matter, and hoped, with the united action of the parties concerned, something might be done to Jessen the number of deplorable drowning accidents that occurred, and that would give greater security to those whose business brought them on and about the wharves.The committee postponed discussion of the matter, in the hope of getting the government to erect safeguards along the canal within the city limits, and Ald.Gallery was deputed to see what could be done at Ottawa in this connection.\u2018Ald.Gallery claimed better police pro: tection for St.Ann's ward, in view of the large number of manufacturing establishments that have sprung up there of late years.The question was not discussed, liowever, Mr.Campeau stating that he sent all the policemen he could spare to the ward.STORM IN THE SOUTH REVIEW OF DAMAGE TO FOREIGN VESSELS.Penscola, Fla, Oct.4.\u2014A careful review of the damage to foreign vessels in port during the recent storm was made yesterday.The Norwegian ship \u2018Ingrida,\u2019 the Norwegian barques \u2018

of argument before the Supreme Court, in the appeal against the disqualilication of Daniel Gallery, ex-M.P., judgment was reserved.The four and a lali hours\u2019 was followed by a two and a hall hours\u2019 reply on the part of Messrs.Bisaillon, K.C, and Carmichael.Counsel on both sides were subjected to frequent Inter- leading isues of the case.During Mr.attention to the absence from tue judg: ment of the lower court of any reference to the specific cases of corruption on which Mr.Galery\u2019s disqualification was based and expressed tire opinion that this was a serious omission.Mr.Bisaillon admitted that the trial judges\u2019 decision was couched in gensral terms, which led Judge Davies to remark \u2018I must say that I am botherd a good deal about that.\u2019 \u20181 agree with Brother Davies,\u2019 said Judge Girouard, \u2018that there 1s a serious difficulty here.Judge Davies went on to obscrve that the trial judgment referred to reasons sor Mr.Gallery's disqualification which the two trial judges considered sufficient, | but the latter had fallen short of giving them.Possibly a paragraph had been dropped.Possibly, too, the repurt to the Speaker of the House of Commons might contain many things not appcar- Ing in their adjudication.declaration had been made to ihe regs- trar that Gallery was guilty of corrupt practices, the parties interested would ave to ascertain their rights to appeal under the judgment of the trial court.Mr.Bisaillon did not share this view.The Canadian election law was copied from that of Great Britain and in the latter all the judges had to do was report whether a seat was vacant or not.The judgment in the St.Ann's election case was in accord with this custom.The election was voided because of personal corruption on the part of Mr.Gallery.The latter was not ignorant of the elce- tion law and had taken part in elections for years, yet he had given large sums of money to his committee chairmen with no specific instructions how it was te be used and without asking ior any subsequent report as to how it wus applied.In the return made of the election expenses these sums did not appear.\u2018Was seven thousand dollars too large an amount to spend?queried J udge Gir- evard.; \u2018Certainly,\u2019 answered Mr.Baissaillon, \u201cit was too large even for Montreal.As to the employment of \u2018locaters\u2019 to trace voters who had changed their place of residence expenditures of this class were illegal in England and should be equally go in Quebec.Besides the clcction took place in November and there could be but very little moving between May and Oc tober, All payments outside of those made by the candidates authorized agent made by the candidates\u2019 authorized agents were corrupt.Judge Davies\u2014 Everything is to be presumed against the man who does that.\u2019 A little later Judge Davies expressed doubt as to whether there was any appeal to the Supreme Court in regard to Mr.Gallery's disqualification.Mr.Carmichael, associate counsel for the petitioner against Mr.Gallery, considered from the, evidence given in the trial court there was not the least doubt but corruption had marked this contest in St.Ann\u2019s Division.It was impossible to ascertain the number of men Mr.Gallery had employed because the chairmen could not tell themselves.Chairman Fitzgerald, who had disbursed fifteen hundred dollars and employed one hundred only able in evidence to name fifteen of them.Mr.Noonan had declared that he received no signed reports from the \u2018Jocaters\u2019 and that there were only thirty to forty men around the committee room in daytime.This was the strongest evidence that the money had not been used for legitimate pur poses.In the only election mn Ww ich he (Mr.Carmichael) had himself taken part he had demanded signed reports from every man who reported to him.\u201cThat would be too slow in my old days) observed Judge Gironard.; \u201cWell! answered Mr.Carmichael, \u201cit won in St.Antoine at the last clection.\u2018It is a suspicious circumstances,\u201d commented Judge Idington, \u2018that ] went around and made payments without letting his agent know of it.\u201d | Upon the conclusion of argument judg ment was reserved.\u2014\u2014p\u2014\u2014 FAIR AND WARM nien, was The maple does not shed its leaves In

to say he was still a Canadian and- @ British subject.In treating his topie his main object was to prepare the student to go into the world ready to meet the men of the world.He regretted class distinctions in the church.It could not be denied that there were \u2018uptown\u2019 and \u2018down town\u2019 churches.There was also the immigration influence, the spirit of commercialism and 8 Percent Discount for Cash and Special Attention Given to Mall Orders.FALL and WINTER CATALOGUE now ready, and will be Mailed Free to any address on applioation.HENRY MORGAN & CO., Limited, \u2018 ;

of this number 87 were converts.In New York in fifteen years forty churches have moved up town, and the population had increased by 250,000 people.The church was ractically doing nothing, while the political club, the pleasure club and the labor union were shaping the minds of men.Continuing, Dr.Guthrie said: We have persistently closed our eves to the facts.We have been following a policy of drift.Ve have permitted ourselves to form a false optimism.We have been content, more or less, to hold our own.There has been a fearful conservatism, a fear of innovation\u2014indeed, I feel that always to respond.not in a position to give these inquiring people the information they want.They know it as well as I do.If they merely wanted information it is other men whom they would summon, the men who have the information they want.They know that also; so I am also reluctantly compelled to conclude that it is notoriety they want rother than information.I yield to no man in respect for law.but I am unable to see where the little notoriety an inquisitor might get from putting me on the stand would serve the ends of justice.So I avoid the order.with its exhaustion, when I can, and preserve my strength and quiet.\u2019 Po 485 to 491 St.Catherine street, East.Corner St.Timothy street.\u2019Phone No.: Eade 1536.1537.\u2018 po I.Morison, D.G.R.After the close of the business meeting, the grand officers were entertained to supper in the banquet hall, the tables being.graced by the presence of the members of the Prince Albert Ladies\u2019 Auxiliary.The grand officers were received with musical honors and beartily welcomed by the regent, W.P.Crites.~The Dorches- ter Ritual was exemplified.The grand regent, in addressing the council, said that \u2018R.A.charter day\u2019 would be celebrated on Nov.12, by a \u2018union class night,\u2019 and on Nov.13 by a banquet.These are to be gala events, and the special guests will be Messrs.W.Holt Apgar, P.G.R., and Horace I.Bowne, of the Supreme Council.\u2014\u2014 MGR.SBARETTI IN ROME.Hangings.The Moth's SENTENCE IS DEATH.Sure and certain to the whole family, including larvae, or eggs, by special process, it sent to BRITISH AMERICAN DYEING CO, Offices and Agents throughout the Clty and Pomtnion.OLD FURS Remade to look like new ones.CHAS.DESJARDINS & CIE, 485 to 491 St.Catherine street, East.Corner St.Timothy street \"Phone No.: Ea#.1536.15337.KINGSTON NOTES THE BLAINE INQUEST ADJOURN- ED\u2014-NEW RIFLE RANGES.OBITUARY.Milwaukee, Oct.4\u2014Mrs.Frederick Pabet, widow of the former head of the Pabst Brewing Company, and daughter of Jacob Best, founder of the brewery, died at midnight of pneumonis.Cornwall, Ont.Oct.4\u2014One vi the most highly esteemed residents or Corn wall Township, Mr, John I.Mebnto-h, died on Monday at his home.llarm-on's Corners, aged 18 years.The devca-ed Kingston, Ont, Oct.4\u2014The inquest into the cause of Engineer Blaine\u2019s death in the G.T.R.collision near Napanee, has again been adjourned, last night the Crown put in a witness, who had measured the siding on which a freight train of fifty-three cars was to have been put to allow the midnight flyer to pass.He found the sidimg to be 2,000 feet long, whereas a previous witness THE POPE TELLS HIM THAT NORTH AMERICA WILL SOON BE MAINLY ROMAN CATHOLIC.Te was a man of a genial and kmdly di position and had a wile circle of friends in the United Counties.lle waa for many years assessor of Cm He ix survived hy lus Rome, Oct.4\u2014The Pope to-day ceived in private audience Monsignor Donato Sharetti, the Apostolic Dele gate in Canada, who arrived here yes- The Pope was most satisfied lead the singing.The following committees were chosen to take charge of the evening: .Theatre committee \u2014 Messrs, Cettan- have received most of our WINTER BOOTS for men and women, as well the Presbyterian Church has been criminally conservative.Dr.Guthrie referred to the lack of information in the uptown churches.said the fifty-three cars measured 2,016 feet.The G.T.R.will be gwen a chance to cross-question the new witness next Wednesday, if desired.ach, Hackett, Cotton, Gordon, Logie.bout foreign missions;

NOTES Do the Britons excel the Americans in endurance?asks the Chicago \u2018Trivune.\u2019 The fact that Americans never have been able to equal their English rivals at row- mg except possibly in eprints, seems to ccnfirm an assertion often made that John Bull's sons are really the most hardy when it comes down to a physical test.Possibly the unbroken line ot victories by British crews is attributable rather to a defect in American form in the boat, but it seems long experience should have corrected this and that at some time an American crew might have been found that could win at Henley or an Aruerican college boat be able to beat Oxford or Cambridge.None has as yet.Not only have the Britons always won, but they always haw won easily.In the matter of long-distance running, while Light- body defeated the British competitor last spring at Athens, the palm generally bas been awarded to Britons.When cycling was in vogue a few years ago it was the same story there.The Americans excelled in sprints, but the Britons in long- distance wheeling.These are about the only forms of sport cn which a comparison could be based, unless tennis be cited, and there again the evidence would be on the side of England.Pugilism is Rardly a satisfactory basis of comparison, if for no other reason, because the sport has been on the decline in England for many years.While Americans have excelled the English in a majority of the interna tional track events, especially between the colleges, these do not represent contests of stamina in the main, and it readily may be claimed the American superiority is due to the careful and thorough preparation and training given to American teams for the various events.Indeed, the English believe the American outh is overtrained in preparation for his various forms of athletic contest\u2014the idea of \u2018winning\u2019 always bding supreme\u2014 and that as a result bis vitality is sa Jed, hence his lack of enduring strength.The Britonae, it is asserted, make everything subserve to the end of building up greater bodily and nervous vitality, the idea of victory being secondary.lsn't it likely the Britons can give us a few pointers about the real purposcs and cnefits of sports, and that what seems to us to be in them indifference and lack of enthusiasm is really hard sense and a part of the philosophy of right living?LACROSSE \u2014 CORNWALL'S LAST CHANCE.Cornwall, Oct.4.\u2014It is only natural that, after last Saturday's defeat in Ot towa, the Cornwall lacrosse magnates should decline to be interviewed as to the probable chances of the local team winning out the round with the Capitals.The practice match yesterday afternoon was watched by a | attendance of the executive and prominent supporters of the club.The players are not giving away tips as to what they are going to do to the Caps.here on Saturday, but they have a determined air that betokens a des rate effort to overhaul the Capi- tels\u2019 ad.All of the regular team and several spare men were out except Jack Broderick, who has gone to New York, and will not be home for Saturday.His place on the Cornwall home wi probably be taken by Larry McAteer or Bob Degan, and it is ible that Bill Brod- erick will be found in his old place on the defence field.Seven goals 1s an awful Jcad to overcome, but in this season of surprises all things are possible.a One thing is certain, that the effort put forth by rnwall to catch Sp the adverse score will ensure the ma being one of the most thrilling and spectacular of the geason.It\u2019s a big score or no finals for Cornwall, and if the locals cut loose as they did once or twice this summer the gcore will be pretty big.The Factory Town boys have no trip to luurope ahead of them if they win this round, but they will have a good chance of landing the Minto Cup, which at one time this season seemed almost within their grasp.Ac this may be the last match of the season, and in any case will be a keen contest, the executive are preparing 10 seat & record-breaking crowd.A great deal of interest is being taken in the game in Brockville, Cardinal, Prescott 7 (Cornwall sympathizers are very nuinerous and big cfowds are expected from the whole Sistrict, as well as from Ottawa.ASSOCIATION FCOTBALL SEMI- FINAL STAGE OF THE FREEDMAN CUP.The semi-final stage of the Freedman cup competition will be entered on Saturday, when Westmount will meet C.P.Ron the Westmount ground.The match wiil be watched with very great interest, not only by the followers of both teams, but by the lovers of the game generally.West- mount, since their crushing defeat at the bands of the Points in the Caiedonian cup final, have not had anything serious on hand, while the one-sided result of the last meeting between Points and C.P.R.showed the rallvarmen to be lamentably weak.In the case of Westmount, the poorness of their dieplay could net be attributed to a weak team, for they had a very representative eleven on the field, but rather to staleness.The C.P.R.turned out à weak team against the Points, but since that have been strecgthened materially, and a good deal of interest attaches to the exhibition which the new men are likely to ive.Fine winners of this game will bave to meet the Point St.Clarles eleven for the Freedman cup, and the members of the latter team have dropped a proposed friendly game with the McGill eleven, In order that they may see the sort of stuff they are likely to be up against on Thankegiving Day, when the final will be played.)

several new men, among them Laforrest, who did the hundred in ten flat, starting {from the six-yard mark, last Saturday.Toronto will probably capture the long jump with Bricker, who won last year, and who competed in the C.A.A.T.championships, but with Poweil, Wood and ohue, McGill should easily take second and third in that event.Waugh is good for five feet nine in she high jump and it looks de

GROTHE AND A LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.A jury trial was commenced before Mr.Justice Curran, yesterday, in the \u201ccase.of J.M.Grothe, et al, vs.the North American Life Assurance Company.This action is a sequel of previous litigation between the same parties in connection with the death of the late Mr.Colbert Grothé.Deceased had his life insured in the company for $5,000, and after his death, an ao- tion was taken by his brothers for the recovery of this amount, with the result that the claim was set aside and the action dismissed.In resisting the claim under the policy, the insurance company alleged that they had reasons to believe deceased was not in good health at the time the policy was issued, and that, consequently, the same had not been obtained within the required conditions.Permission was therefore asked to exhume the body, | and upon the written consent of Mr.Grothé's widow being produced, the court granted the exhumatory order, and the body was taken from the charnel house at Cote des Neiges Cemetery to the General Flospital for post-mortem examination.Upon learning of this, the brothers of deceased at once obtained a cancellation of the order to exhume, on the ground that said order had been obtained undar the false representation that the late Colbert Grothé had no other relative in the city but his widow.The result was that the body had to be taken back to the cemetery before the medical examination could be performed, and now the present plaintiff, Mr.J.M.Grothé, claims $350,000 damages for desecration of his brother's grave.After the jury had been sworn in, yesterday a motion was made on _behalf of the insurance company to have | the case continued to Tuesday next, as certain important witnesses cannot be\u2019 here before that date.The court granted the motion.Mr.J.A.St.Julien appears for plaintiff, with Mr.H.J.Elliott as counsel, and Messrs.Brosseau and Holt \u2018for defendant.NEW HOME FOR THE ASSISTANCE PUBLIQUE.The

trip across Canada, and last evening be arrived in Montreal on hie homeward journey.In reply to a reporter, he said that the present House of Commons is perhaps more intensely Protestant than any since the days of Cromwell.That, however, does not affect the members\u2019 attitude on the Irish question, and he thinks that while home rule will not be obtained during the life oi the present parliament, good progress will be made towards that end.He had held, he declared, that a great deal more could have been obtained from the Tory party of England, if the Irish party had not as good as refused to look in that direction for relief.But the wildcats of the Nationalist party had prevent.cé any rapprochement between Mr.Redmond and the English Tories.Mr.Healy explained that he had been contending for years that, with their splendid discipline and powerful influence in the House of Lords, the Tory party is in a better position than the Liberals to secure reforms for Ireland.He alo stated that, as far as he could judge, the Tory party of Great Britain ie quite as friendly to Irish interests as the Liberals.Asked df he were not a separationist rs ago, Mr.Healy said he did not [row that he had changed his views.The union was a curse both for England and Ireland, but as she would never again be independent, it was useless to discuss what might be done if she were, FRENCH

CONDEMNS CITY FOR INCONSISTENCY AND NEGLECT.\u2018The extraordinary state of affairs revealed this morning proves conclusively that this medical inspection of schools ought to have been inaugurated long ago, that it has been a necessity for a ver long time, and that there are many evils crying for eradication.1f I had the power that a medical officer of health as in England I would have stopped several things long ago, but I have not got that power.\u2019 These words are from the mouth of Dr.Louis Laberge, the medical officer of health in charge of the civio hygiene department at the City Hall.ey ahould be brought to the notice of every father who has children in the schools of Montreal.; The newly appointed medical inspectors bave only just begun their work, but even now there are in the possession of the chairman of the Health Committee and other officials attached to the civic hygiene department informal reports from some of the doctors engaged in the work of inspection revealing conditions almost incredible, conditions which would be a disgrace to a city following old- world methods of sanitation, much less to a city supposedly up-to-date as Montreal.ere are some of the most startling facts that have been brought to light by the doctors in the course of their rounds: (1) Thirty-three pupils out of a class of sixty-six attacked by measles as the result of obe pupil suffering from measles attending that class.(2) Schools suffused by stenches from civic dump heaps.(3) Fifteen percent of pupils at a school suffering from defective eyesight.(4) Fifteen percent of the pupils at a school suffering from tumors which are disclosed by simple examination at first gight, and which are the cause of serious throat troubles.These tumors predis- e the pupils to diphtheria, and reveal heir presence, in many instances, by eruptions on the face.5) A school in a basement where the light is defective, the air bad, and the Lumidity permanent.(7) A school beneath the basement of a church.(8) Temporary school accommodation fixed up at one school to deceive medical inspector.; (9) Forty pupils crowded into one class-room where the cubic contents of ait barely sufficed for fifteen.(10) Large numbers of pupils showing signs of tu losis and insufficiect nu- tiition.This is a series of facts the actual truth of which is vouched for by the ductors who have unearthed them.The full details will not be forthcoming until the next meeting of the Health Committee, and in the meantime it is not possible to give details as to location, personnel of inspectors who have made the reports, and other matters, but the facts are as stated, and have been verified, so far as the endorsement of responsible officials goes, by a \u2018Witness\u2019 representative this morning.THE DUMP HEAPS.K Regarding the echools which are permeated by the stench arising from the civic dump heaps, this state of affairs has been going on for a long time, to the knowledge of the civic Health Department.The latter, however, although it has made representations on the matter, has no power, under the civic bylaws, to proceed against the Road Department in order to obtain an abatement of WIFE DISAPPEARED.\u2014 Thomas Farrell of this City is Searching New York for Missing Partner.A despatch from New York says :\u2014 \u2018Thomas Farrell, of Montreal, is here, at 498 Third avenue, nearly distracted over the mysterious disappearance of his wife, Minnie A.Farmer, a well-known Montreal girl, for whom he is searching vainly.He has not heard from her since July 4, when he left to take employment in their old home in Montreal, eaving her comfortably in a home on Eighty-eighth street, in the Bay Ridge section, Brooklyn, She is handsome, five feet five inches tall, blonde, and thirty years old.He believes she has become suddenly demented and has hidden herself in some religious institution or joined some society.Since the death of three youngest children during the past six years she has been deeply religious, taking an interest im all, from the Catholic church in which she was raised to the Salvation Army.She has an eight-year-old son now staying with Montreal relatives.DEATH OF A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN.Mr.Louis Archambault, founder of the Société des Artisans Canadiens-Francais, which now numbers 30.000 members, died sesterday at St.Eustache, at the

nuisance.Dr.Louis Laberge, the bealth officer, feels very strongly on the matter, and thjs morning he expressed himeelf in the following terms:\u2014 \u2018The act of dumping within the city ought, in my opinion, to be made a criminal offence.1 would stop it immediately if I had the power, but Il have not.As sanitary authorities, we have the power to prevent any of the public committing a nuisance of this kind, and we can prosecute them in the courts, but we bave no power whatever to prosecute the city, the corporation of Montreal, for doing the very same thing.\u2018lhe city is the offender in this case, but we have no power to interfere.This is an inconsistency which should be abolished immediately.If I had half the power which a health officer in my position holds in England, I would put a stop to such a disgraceful condition of things in a burry.But I have not one-half the power, and I cannot interfere with the city in this matter.T'here are on the dump heap in ques tion piles of rotting matter in the most offensive stages of decay, and the odor which is wafted through the school premises is at times almost unbearable.The degree to which this unhea]thyatmosphere has affected the pupils attending the school may be gauged from the fact that the doctor who inspected the premises and the pupils found that 15 percent of the latter were suffering from bad eyesight, and a similar percentage from wu- mors and other throat troubles of a most serious character, which in many cases had resulted in the disfigurement of their faces, causing difficulty in breathing, a general air of lassitude, a disinclination to work, a difficulty in comprehending even simple facts taught them, and the best possible disposition to consumption in a virulent form.; HYGIENE \"IGNORED.It is only fair to state that the majority of the schools under the supervision and management of the school commissioners, both Protestant and Catholic, Lave been found to be in a fairly good condition from a sanitary point of view, the greatest defects being in private schools.In the latter, too, the masters did not look upon the inspection with favor, while in the commissioners\u2019 schools, generally speaking, the masters welcomed it, and took a keen interest in the proceedings.In regard to a large number of private schools, the doctors have reported that in many instances even the elementary requirements of hygiene have been totally disregarded.It was in one of these that a classroom was fqund beneath a basement, which the light never reached in a degree at all compatible with ordinary requirements, where the air was thick, and where the humidity was so great as to.constitute an ever-present menace to the health of the pupils attending it.1t was at another that the forty pupils were found crowded into a class-room which was not large enough for fifteen, allowing each the requisite provision for breathing space.Pactually, at one academy, in order to deceive the inspector, the vestibule was transformed into a temporary class-room.\u2018This stratagem has been practiced, not once, but severa] times, adcording to the evidence of both pupils httending the school and of independent witneases.SUPREME COURT, Ottawa, Oct.4\u2014The Supreme Court to-day directed its attention to the appeal from the judgment of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, which rejected the petitions against the election of Michael Carney and William Roche, Liberal members for Halifax, on account of {he petitioner not having proceeded with the trial of the case within the time set by the judges.The petitioner appeals to the Supreme Court of Canada against this decision of the trial judges.Justice Russell, of the Nova Scotia bench, had granted a motion of the peiitioner sct- ting July 17 for the trial, which was, however, three days behind the time set some months before the hearing of the case.When the petitionr presented himslf on July 17 to proceed with the hearing his case was rejected on the ground that the time for hearing had expired on July 14.The point to be decided in the present appeal 1s as to Whether a date could be fixed for the trial beyond the limit of the court's enlargement.The appellant\u2019s counsel held that Judge Russell's action in setting the case down for July 17 was in itself tantamount to an enlargement, and that the case therefore had been sent back to the Nova Scotia judges\u2019 for hearing.The Court, after listening to the outline of Mr.Lovitt\u2019s argument in favor of the present appeal, intimated that he need not go into further particulars, and called upon Mr.Drysdale, K.C., for the case on behalf of the respondents.Judges Girouard, Davies and Idington all, referred to their decision in the Beauharnois election case as opposed to the.course the Nova Scotia judges had seen fit to follow in the present instances.Judge Idington expressed his inability to under stand Judge Russell's action in fixing July 17 for the hearing of the case, and then dismissing the petition on, the ground that the court had no jurisdiction to deal with the matter on that day.It was announced in the Supreme Court to-day that the Quebec list of appeals would not be taken up before Monday next, a ES TEE En Cm I NE RRL ESS THE OTTAWA RIVER WRECK Evidence in Case of * Maude\u2019- \u2018Ottawan\u2019 Collision Concluded Before Commissioner Spain DECISION IS EXPECTED TO BE ANNOUNCED NEXT WEEK, , The hearing of evidence in the Maude\u2019-\u2018Ottawan\u2019 enquiry before Commander Spain, wreck commissioner, was concluded lasc evening, after a session extending over five hours.It is expected that judgment in the case will be delivered in the early part of next week.When the enquiry resumed in the afternoon, George N.Depencier, captain of the \u2018Ottawan,\u2019 was recalled.The \u2018Maude\u2019 he chought, was about a quarter of a mile away when his vessel sourded her whistle, but to this the \u2018Maude\u2019 gave no reply until her whistle blew twice immediately previous to the collision.Seeing that the \u2018Maude\u2019 failed to alter her course he ordered the mate, his brother, to bear off to starboard.He thought his vessel came off her course about fifteen feet, He attributed the collision to whe fact that the \u2018Maude\u2019 had veered considerably from her course and very quickly across his vessel's bow.The \u2018Ottawan\u2019s\u2019 engines could be reversed in a remarkably short time.The red light of the \u2018Maude\u2019 disappeared from his view shortly before the accident.He could not at first cell, by the \u2018Maude\u2019s\u2019 lights, wkether she was lying at anchor or in motion; but the gradually increasing brightness of the masthead light later made him positive on that point.To Captain Spain witness stated that the \u2018Ottawan\u2019 was not equipped with steam steering gear.\u2018MAUDE'S* MATE TESTIFIES.Wilfred Guard, first mate of \u2018he \u2018Maude,\u2019 was next called.He stated that he held a mate's certificate for a passerger steamer.It was during his watch that the accident ocourred.The capiain had gone into the wheel house before the collision.He saw the white light on the \u2018Ottawan.\u2019 but not the other lights.When he first noticed the \u2018Ottawan\u2019 the white and green lights\u2014 the only ones he could see\u2014were on his right side.He steered to the north side coming down.In answer to n question by Mr.Geof.\u2019 frion, he said that the vessel was too close inside for him to notice the light on the wharf.The \u2018Ottawan\u2019 when first sighted seemed to be a mile dis: tant.He could see only the green light and the one at the mast.Asked why tbe \u2018Ottawan\u2019 could not be descried more than a mile distant, he said it was obscured by being behind Oka point, When he reached the island his vessel proceeded more to the north.There seemed to be nothing the matter with the \u2018Ottawan\u2019 at that dis- tarce.When she came within three hundred feet of the \u2018Maude\u2019 she turned to the north, and then he first observed the red light.In turning, the \u2018Ottawan\u2019 blew her whistle.Before that he did not hear anything.Witness had then asked his captain what the \u2018Oitawan\u2019 intended doing.It was the captain who gave the two blasts irmediately after the other vessel had sounded her whistle.There was no possibility of avoiding the collision.He wheeled hard over to go to the north.Before the collision occurred he did not have time to change his course.and his vessel sank almost immediately.The lights were shining as brightly as usual.The collision, in his opinion, would not have taken place if the \u2018Ottawan\u2019 \u2018had mot altered her course, or if she had continued to show her green light.His vessel was going to Ske.Anne\u20193, and had not stopped at Oka.\u2018 OTAWAN\u2019S\u2019 MATE'S STORY.Luke Depencier, mate of the \u2018Otta- wan,\u2019 and brother of the captain, deposed that he bad relieved his brother at the wheel about 12.30 o'clock on the morning of the collision.His brother, however, came to the wheelhouse afterwards, and sat beside him.First he saw a white light, about a mile and a half distant.The \u2018Maude\u2019 was opposite Point des Anglais when the \u2018Ottawan\u2019 was opposite Hudson.When he ob served the \u2018Ottawan\u2019s\u2019 three lights she appeared to be heading straight on.His vessel pursued the ordinary course.On several occasions during the present, season \u2018he had met the \u2018Maude\u2019 at about the same point.The 'Maude\u2019s\u2019 three lights could be seen until she turned across the bow of the \u2018Ottawan.\u201d Witness pulled two bells in order to warn the engineer to reverse.In going to Ottawa vessels generally kept near the middle of the channel, but closer to the north shore, as the channel runs in that | direction.Elie Rougeon, assistant engineer on the \u2018 Maude,\u2019 raid he was on board the vessel when she sank, it being his watch.He first saw the \u2018Ottawan\u2019 on the right side of his vessel\u2019s bow.At that time the approaching vessel had not whistled.Only the green light of the \u2018Ottawan\u2019 could be seen.He did not observe the red light at the time of the whistle The two whistles of the \u2018Ottawan\u2019 sounded very shortly after the \u2018Maude\u2019s\u2019 sole whistle He received the signal to stop the engine just as the vessels struck.The \"chief engineer was sick, but he had him awakened.At the time of the collision the engines had been reversed.Everything had been done that could have been done to stop the vessel.Captain William Smith, who had visited the scene of the accident on Monday and made actual measurements in regard to the lamp shades on the \u2018Maude,\u2019 then gave evidence.He was now, he stated in the employ of the Public Works Department at Ottawa, but had had thirty years\u2019 experience on the river.The vessel measured 31 feet 6 inches in breadth over all.Each lamp shade was seven feet in from the v ' THURSDAY, O%ttoBrR 4, 1967 sides of the ship.He considered that the proper course of vessels going up the river would be practically that taken by the \u2018Ottawan,\u2019 and indicated it by means of a chart.Captain Weir, of the government steamer \u2018 Maisonneuve,\u2019 had also examined the \u2018Maude\u2019 in her present position.Her bow pointed a quarter of a point to the south of Pointe du.Lac.n reference to the light at Pointe aux Anglais, her stern was a quarter of a point to the north.The Hudson shoal was a little higher than the point at which she was lying.The width of the channel at that point, as computed from the chart, was about two thousand five hundred feet.a GAS.Yesterday a conference was held» between the management of the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company and the special civic gas committee.The company offered gas at 95 cents flat rate, the reduction to begin at the expiration of three years from the commencement of the new contract.The committee refused this, standing out for an immediate reduction to 85 cents.To-morrow another conference will be held, at which the company will, it is stated, offer to concede a reduction to 90 cents if the city will give it an exclusive electric light franchise.GRAIN COMMISSION.IMPORTANT EVIDENCE GIVEN BY LOCAL WITNESSES TO-DAY.(See also Page 1.) The Grain Commission resumed its sittings in the council chamber of the Board of Trade this morning and during the session many interesting state ments were made regarding the policy adopted in carrying\u2019 on the grain trade.Mr.E.T.Craig, chief grain inspector, said that his territory was east of Port Arthur.He bad nothing to do with Manitoba grain except in case grain had sustained damage in transit.He could report on it, but he could not issue a new certificate.In case the receiver disputed the inspection of western grain, there was a form for the survey board to be filled out.The inspector takes a sample and places it before the parties interested, as well as the survey board in this city.It was \"possible that, in case of a survey being demanded, the cars containing the grain should be left intact.The same applied to grain for survey when, placed in elevators, but if the grain is for shipment by steamer the latter can proceed on her voyage by retaining samples of the grain disputed if identity is preserved.He issued no instrudiione to his deputy inspectors on this point.He thought that \u2018there could only be one deduction from the act as to surveys.When a survey was demanded, certificates of inspection must accompany the grain to its destination.In the case when grading is disputed, the inspector could refuse inspection unless the original certificate was submitted.Tn case of a survey of sound grain which did not come up to the standard, tbe certificate must be demauded, and these instructions were given to deputy 1u- spectors.The identity of the cars containing the disputed grain must remain on the tracks up to the time of the sealing of the official samnlsg when agreed to by the partiw interested.[Ie would let the grain icave the cars after these formalities have been carri-d out.Inspectors here have noz issned_export certificates for Manitoba grain.He was interested in United States grain.er pecially corn, as he inspected this in transit.He generally inspected the grain at this point .or \u2018he receivers.His jurisdiction extended over Eastern and Western Ontario, wita inspection at Toronto, Kingston and Peterborough.Grain for inspection, he said, must be taken from five, if not more, places in the cars, so as to detect improper loading.The bulk of the grain inspected here was for export, and the cars were generally billed according to the grade, and inspectors, if necessary, group the different cars under one certificate, Mr.Craig said that he had received no complaints regarding export inspection, and he considered the trade was being well treated.He would say that there were times when exceptions have been taken by the owners of in to inspections by deputies, but this was uncommon.He could not remember requests being made to have grain inspected before being placed in the steamer.He would not issue certificates until the grain was actually being transferred to the vessel.He was not aware that deputy inspectors in Ontario refused to draw samples of Manitoba grain before demanding the original certificate.He would, however, ask for a fee when samples were made at the request of the owners.In conclusion, Mr.Craig said that the inspectors east of Port Arthur received no instructions to lift original western certificates in exchange for export certificates.It was not possible, he thought, to switch certificates permitting grain to go out under higher grade than previously labelled by the original certificate.: ! MR.SEATH ON 0° ELEVATOR RATES.ot Mr.David Seath, secretary of the Harbor Board, informed the \u2018Witness\u2019 this morning that the statement made before the Commission yesterday afternoon to the effect that the commissioners\u2019 elevator was controlled by the Grand 'runk Railway Company, was misleading.\u2018Such a contention,\u201d said Mr.Seath.\u2018must have had its origin in the fact that an agreement was reached last year whereby the Trust regulated the rates to be charged not only on their own elevator.but on the one operated by the Grand Trunk in this port.To my mind, the boot is exactly on the other foot, and I was surprised to read such evidence.The person who gave it must have been misinformed regarding the situation.The Grand Trunk has nothing to do with the commissioners\u2019 elevator.1 and Winter.EY FRASER.VIGER & (0.ITALIAN WAREHOUSE, i ESTABLISNED, - - .ws ONCE A WEEIs NOW TO THE LAKE SHORE Our waggons will run every Saturday only as far as

AND DETROIT HAS SKYWARD TENDENCIES.LOCAL MARKET GENBRALLY STRONG WITH A HEAVY VOLUME OF TRADIN GRECORDED.Exchange vaine ef £1 steriing te-day is 84.83.61 I: is not surprising that Canadian Pacific siock should fall off in price directly after ize publication of the one percent \u2018bonus\u2019 to the shareholders.It is an old game of wall Street to throw stock on the market «3en a piece of good news comes out but this is only the case when the news bas been, 'o a certain extent, discounted, aad bigher prices anticipated.One bril- sant exception to this \u2018selllng on good pews\u2019 trick was, of course, the recent declaration on behalf of Union Pacific and Southern Pacific stocks, The market was quite unprepared for such a move; prices were adjusted on the old dividend basis and consequently there were some rapid advances to bring the price up to a level consistent with a fair investment return.On the other hand, Canadian Pacific has been the centre of a most aggressive speculative pool and it is even now a matter of doubt if much of the company's fu- wre development has not been dlscounted wo a degree, It must be admitted that the \\ percent bonus or extra dividend, waich ».be paid out of interest oa land sales, 14 a small \u2018plum\u2019 when compared with the bonus received by shareholders in \u2018rights\u2019 received on account of new stock.The policy of the executive in deciaring an extra one percent will be commended by most conservative authorities, while at the same time the shareholders cannot complain that they have been badly treated.It is imperative that the company reserve all the financial force possible for a future of competition and general develop- meant.Opening prices of stocks on Wall Street were a fraction higher than last night, but there were declines in a few cases, C.P.R.fell 2%; U.S.Rubber, 28; North-West- ern, 14, and Norfolk and Western, % : Colorado Fuel advanced 114, Southern Pacific, Colorado Southern and the

fraction and sales were recorded at 964 before the lunch hour.In all there were about 800 shares exchanged.There is no partiular news to account for the sudden development of strength excepting the excellent traffic re- turas that are recorded from time to time.The franchis question is not considered such a bugbear as heretofore.Canadian Pacific sold off on this market to 179%.The stock is not now selling ex-dividend 80 that the decline is heavier than would appear at first sight.Mackay was pro- winent in heavy selling at a decline of almost a point since the last sale, BU shares were sold at 73% to 73%.Montreal Power was also stronger and higher at 96, on a pretty considerable volume of trading.Negotiations between the city and the company indicate that the possibility of @ eettlement on a basis satistactory to both parties becomes more and more remote every day.Notwithstanding this, holders of the stock continue their hopeful veln that matters will eventually be adjusted to the satisfaction of the Power Company.The net earnings of the Porto Rico Ralil- ways Company, Limited, for August, 1906, amounted to $7,880.95.This is an increase of $808.51 over August, 1903.What ie a

general meeting of the ghare- bolders of the Lake of the Woods Milling Company, Limited, was held yesterday et the head office of the company in Mont- The report of the directors for the fiscal year ending Aug.31, 1906, with statements, were placed before the meeting, the net profits for the year being $375,152.13.4 The profit and loss Wccount for the year shows that an amount or $165,000 bas been paid in dividends on the preferred and common stocks, and $60,000 interest on the six percent bonds, leaving a surplus of $150,000, which, added to the sum of $377,- 851 brought forward, makes an amount of $528,003 to be carried forward to tne credit of profit and loss account.After fixed charges and preferred dividend obligations of 7 percent were met the company earned on the common stock outstanding 10.50 percent.It would, therefore, be only reasonable to expect that the six percent dividend payments on the common stock will be maintained for some time to come.Under the conditions existing in the milling business during the last twelve months; the result of the operation is considered very satisfactory.The same conservative policy that has been so consistently adhered to by the management for the last 17 years, was strictly carried out in so far as confining their business entirely to milling.The following board of directors was ¢l- ected: \u2014Robert Meighen, the Hon.Robert Mackay, Robert Reford, Abner Kingman, James N.Pyke, R.M.Ballantyne, W.W.Hutchison, Montreal; G.V.Hastings, Win- uipeg; F.H.Mathewson, Montreal.At a subsequent meeting of directors tie

but he was more than indemnitied when he perceived the accuracy with which it was followed, and glanced at the brilliant appearance of lis guests, who.to gratify him, and do honor to the family.were all magnificently dressed;

J The marriage ceremony was succeeded by a dinner, which Nora thought as tedious as it was sumptuous; for when she was following the bridal party out of the church, Rosel had left the crowd ot spectators to whisper that her father had again heard of the wildschuetz, and had suddenly left home with her brother.1n- stantly, and greatly alarmed on\u2019 John\u2019s account, Nora had yielded without hem- tation to Rosel\u2019s urgent entreaties to spend the night on the miller\u2019s alp, in order, if necessary, to be able to bear witness in favor of Seppel, and had only stipulated that they were to be accompanied by her mother.In consequence of this arrangement every moment became of importance to Nora, as tending to increase her chance of having to wander in the woods after.sunset;

adapt them to the botrower.take, for example, the small hats that came in last spring, remained all sum- rier, and are reproduced, somewhat moill- fied it is true, this autumn\u2014the perky lit- Ue affairs with a decided tilt 111 vne part and a corresponding slant in another, This kind of chapeau pro laimed itself at the very start borrowed rom [Mavis and the model was copied with sts distin: Ewishing tilt sometimes carr«d to quite an absurd extent, On a tew women the litte tilted bat looked remarkably weil, on many others it did not look well at all, for the simple reason that the wearer, while adopting the French idea in her hat retained her own in the dressing of her hair, with the result that hat and head were incongruous.When a Frenehworuan is making a toilette that is to be fritishe Ly a hat, she keeps that wea in mn.and arranges her hair \u2018according.\u2019 li she is going to wear a hat that curves up on one side and slepes down on the other.she builds her coiffure after similar lines, so that when the hat is placed on top of it.hat and head look as though they were exactly intended for each other.It is casier to make the head, that is the coiffure, fic the ha: than it 1s to make the hat fit the head.Ii one insists on going the other way about, the time tu do it is when selecting the head-gcar, never afterwards.When we borrow the French hat, not only is it the head that is often unsuited to it, but whe whole personality.Dicss, it has been insisted upon, to be becoming, must be in kecping with Lhe per- scnality of the wearer.Shai is why the Paris models in hats have usually to be altered and adapted when brought over here.As a clever writer in an English aper, bringing the lack of individuality rome to hér countrywoman, observes, \u2018with an English heart and an arrangement of Tocks all English, an English soul and an English igure, she puts cn the hat that was invented to express accurately a French personality, and which remains a wretched incongruity on the head of the Englishwoman.\u2019 As a matter of fact there is not the same slavish allegiance of women to fashion as thore used to be.To be sure, cnc does see the curious sight of ordinari- Iy well-dressed women adopting some freakish stvle, such as the ugly, fieached peacock-feiither trimming, because it hap- nened to be the fad of the mousent, And a popular model, like the littl* Paris chapeau, is all too frequently copied by women to whom it is not suited.But it is rvalized that the \u2018ideal\u2019 hat may be of any shape or color so long as it is in harmony with the wearer.In a becoming bat.even if it is not of the latest fashion.a woman looks better dressed than she would in one of the kind \u2018they are wearing; if it happens to be unsuited to ber individually.LAUNDERING FINE GARMENTS.The \u2018 Mousekeeper' gives very useful hints on the \u2018doing up\u2019 of fine garments, which require special care in laundering.Have a set of irons that includes all sizes, the larger ones m2asuring four inches at the largest part, and some small, pointed ones, and one or two very long, thin ones, for sleeves and similar puckering places.With the pointed irons, iron out the laces, embroidery and rutles, carefully pointing each scallop and avoiding that great fault of the ordinary laundress, tearing the lac: with the iron or pulling it out of shape.Iron all insertions and medallions first, to keep thom straight, ard iron circular ruffles with the thread of the goods.All frills, laces and embroideries, as well as the sleeves and yokes, should be done before the plainer parts, for these are apt to get soiled while wet, and if properly died with the iron they will not get out of order while the larger part of the garment js ironed.The ruffles of skirts and drawers should be done first, and then the body part, and one can easily avoid crushing the trimming after one has becom accustomed to the work.\"Keep a bowl of tepid water and a piece of clean linen near the ironing board, to remove any spots or specks that may get on the clothing while drying or being ironed, and to dampen properly any places that have become too dry.Be sure to keep the flatiron on each part until it is \u2018 bone dry,\u2019 or the work Will have a draggled appéarance when it is finished.The folding of under-linen is an art all by itself, and it is advisable, if one cannot take a course in a domestic training school, to tind someone who works in the folding department of a laundry, and learn from her, for there is much in the proper folding of garments that adds to the appearance of the finished worl, and there is a certain knack in doing this part of the work which must be learned.; A small ironing stove.burning gas.is the best, since it costs less for fuel and the gas does not stain the irons; have both stove and irons immaculately clean.scouring the irons each time they are used and then pu\u2018ting them away in small bags to keep them from the dust and dirt.If well-washed each time it takes but a few moments, and then the irons are always clean.Keep certain irons for starched pieces, and others for the plainer, rougher parts, and do not make the mistake of having too few irops, for this entails much waiting for them to heat, SOME PRACTICABLE RECTPES.Scalloped Potatoes.\u2014Two cupfuls ol raw, finely sliced potatoes, one

Mr.Fowler, M.P.STATEMENT BY MR.RYAN.\u2014 Toronto, Uct.4\u2014There was a good attendance at the insurance mquiry yes terday and the proceedings were of unusual interest.The Hon.George &.Foster told of being paid by Mr.G.W.Fowler, A.D\u2019, one sum OI $2,500, and some other sums, the total being at least $5,000, and not more than ¥7.500.Mr.Peter Ryan, registrar for Toronto East, somewhat started the commie- sioners by demanding to be allowed to make a statement.During the day a telegram from Mr.Fowler, M.P., was read to the commis sion by Mr.Shepley, K.C., government counsel.» Mr.Fowler wired from British Columbia that he was on his way cast.Mr.Shepley said he had been put to a \u2018great deal of trouble on account of Mr.Fowler's delay, and he did not know whether he would old the commission for him or not.| Just after the commissioners had taken their seats Mr.Peter Ryan arose and announced that he wished to make a statement.\u2018My name,\u2019 he said, \u2018has becn bandied from mouth te mouth about \u201cletters to Ryan,\u201d \u201ctelegrams to Ryan,\u201d and I desire to clear the at- msophere.\u2019 He was permitted to make a statement if he occupied the -vitness box.He entered the box and said : .\"I was induced to invest $15,000 in an industrial enterprise in British Co- Jumbia.I found out it was not enough, that sum, it was represented to me, would be sufficient, and, eventually, 1 had $200,000 of my capital invested there.Another partner had $50,000 invested and we had borrowed $45,000 from the Bank of Hamilton.I was getting no interest and y none

says, back from them.\u2019 \u201c1 care nothing for the letters to Ryan and from Ryan, and all that.The only point is the changing of the consideration from $170,000 to $225,000, which is being done

Mr.Sherman, assistant manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia.| Questions regarding deposits made and the cheques drawn in connection with the Fowler-Ryan transaction were put by Mr.Shepley.Mr.Sherman

Company, of Aug.1, in favor of Mr.Fowler for $40,000, was shown.Nearly 820,000 was deposited on that date.De- osits of $40,000 and $20.000 were made in November by Mr.Fowler.These appeared to come from the Kamloops checked out but $17.30 Company._.Mr.Sheplev next took mp the joint account of Messrs.Pope and Fowler, ich began with $20,000 on Sept, 2, 1903.Six days after $14,000 was checked out, the marks, the witness believed, indicating Messrs.Mackenzie and Mann, $2,000 went to Mr.A.A.Lefur- gey, M.P., and other sums were trans- terred to Ottawa.Mr.George E.Foster was the witness.\u2018Have you any connection with the Foresters \u201d\u2019 he was asked.\u20181 was, by virtue of the supreme chief ranger, made an honorary member in the ng of an eye.\u2019 He eaid that until quite recently he had been manager of the Union Tr t Company.He was a director, and that the account of the formation of the Kamloops Company given by Mr.Stevenson was correct.It was not at first intended to put #3 much money into that company as did go in.The Union Trust was to loan the money.Interested in the ileal were Messrs.Fowler, McCormack and Irwin.\u2018Had you any discussion as to the wisdom of a trust company carrying on a manufacturing business ?\u201d \u2018Yes, I don\u2019t remember that there was any objection.The board was a unit in the transaction.Mr.Shepley said he wanted a statement as to Mr.Foster getting any of the Fowler money.\u2018I do not know yet that I have been paid anything of this money, said Mr.Foste next r.The Bank of Nova Scotia bad an account with Mr.George W.Fowler, said the counsel, and the first payment being that of Ryan to Fowler on account of the purchase and among the papers, your name appears for $2,500.\u2018Well, I will make a statement.First, I bad no interest at all in the Kam- loops Company, consequently there was no inducement for me to have these properties bought.Secondly, the prices that were paid .for these properties were the actual prices that went to the people who sold them, and that no inducement was ever offered me to favor this purchase.I pever received one dollar of commission with reference to these transactions.\u2019 _ \u2018Not being a lawyer, .and having been in politics, I am not rich, having had some difficulty in bearing wp under the financial burden.From the time I left the ministry it has not been a pleasant road for me to travel.\u2019 Continuing, Mr.Foster stated tha! in 1904-5 he had large obligations which came to a head and had to be met, They were on account of debentures, transactions and businesses he had gone into.He appealed to his friends to assist him.Mr.Fowler, whom he hail known for twenty years, paid him $2,500 on account of a transaction which had nothing to do with either the Trust Company, the Kam- loops, or any other company in which the Foresters are interested.\u2018He paid me not only $2,500,\u201d said Mr.Foster, \u2018but other sums as well.They were $3,000, but would not exceed $7,500.\u2018They were not absolutely advances out of pure accommodation,\u2019 declared the witness.Mr.Shepley suggested that Mr.Foster tell the Commission how the Union Trust Company came to take a financial part in the North-West Land scheme.The following explanation was made by Mr.Foster: He said that he knew a good deal about the North-West and conditions there.He found that land could be secured at $4.50 per acre, which, tak- \u2018ing into consideration the proposed Ca- [nadian Northern Railway, was thought \u2018to be one of the most eligible offers of \u201cland in the North-West.When the pos- ! sibility of personally financing the proposition was found to be impossible, Mr.Foster said that either he suggested to Mr.McGillivray or Mr.McGillivray to him that it would be a good deal to get the Union Trust Company to take part in the investment.\u2018We believed,\u201d he said, \u2018the proposition was an extra good thing.Why not, thought we, should we not put the proposition of finance before the Union Trust Company?At this point Mr.Foster stated to the Commission: \u2018We did not act as sharpers or men who wanted to \u201cdo\u201d a company out of its money.We thought it was a good chance for any company to make some extra money and to get some bonus stock.The proposition was *\u2018open and above board,\u201d without any \u201chole in the corner\u201d work at all.\u2019 \u2018Did you view it in the light of a benevolence to the Union Trust Company?\u2018We thought,\u201d said Mr.Foster, \u2018that it was a good business proposition for any company.\u2019 [ \u2018Were the dual positions the directors occupied taken into consideration and weighed by you or not?\u2018Jt might have been in our minds; anyway, we were only taking the proposition to the Trust Company and leaving it to them to deal with\u201d Mr.Foster would not admit that the \u2018ethics\u2019 of the proposition was discussed, but would not allow it to be stated that they were forgotten.Reference was made to the meeting of the directors of the Union Trust at which the subject of its lending money to the Land Company was broached.Mr.Shepley said that Dr.Oronbyatekha, Col.McGillivray, Sir Jobn Boyd, Mr.Matthew Wilson, K.C., and Mr, Foster were at this meeting.Mr.Shepley pointed out that Sir John Boyd in his evidence had declared that Ye had not been made familiar with the whole proposition.Mr.Foster stated in reply that he had laid the proposition before the board, that nothing had been held back, and an answer was given to every question put by the directors.The proposition, which was only a verbal one, is as follows: \u2018That the Union Trust Company should lend the New Ontario Farm and Town Sites Syndicate (afterwards changed to North-West Land Company) a sum not to exceed $140,000 at six percent inteerst per annum.In return the Trust Company was given an optio on some land, became trustee of the syndicate, and received a bonus of 237 shares at par value | of paid up capital stock The proposition was finally accepted by the Union Trust Company, and, as Mr.Shepley expressed it, \u2018for its generosity in lending it was absolutely to own 237 shares of stock\u2019 Mr.Shepley asked Mr.Foster if he and the other directors who were also inter- A CREE PEMA T= THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS ested in the land company were not the rulers of the Trust Company.\u2018Although,\u2019 said Mr.Foster, who denied that he was a ruler, \u2018we had a vote and a voice in determining the action of the board, we never, as far as I know, diverged from the policy of taking no investments in which the Forestry part of the directors were not agreed.\u2019 CANADIAN CABLES (Canadian Associated Press.) London, Oct.4.\u2014Mr.David Henderson, Conservative M.P.for Halton, Ont., interviewed by the \u2018Canada, said he had visited the Immigration Offices, and was agreeably surprised with the amount of work to be done that everything seemed to be carried out m a systematic manner.The staff was specially courieous and well informed, and irom the numbers seeking mtormation IL quite justified the up-keep of the stafi In years gone by everything in connection with emigration had not been what it might have.However, since the appointment of Mr.Preston a great deal of the cause of complaint has by his energetic methods really been removed.London, Oct.4\u2014Prof.Wrong, of the University of Toronto, in the course of a long letter in the Canada\u2019 on Canada and imperial defence, says it is perhaps well for the North American continent that there is one state that should have the overmastering power.Were North America like South America divided among a dozen or more states nearly equal in strength, it might have become in a military sense a second Europe.\u2019 , London, Oct.4\u2014Sir Frederick Borden, In an interview which appeared in the \u2018Canada\u2019 a fortnight ago, 1s reported as having eaid: \u201cWe consider that such training would develop in young men a liking for military requirements.\u2019 What Sir Frederick did say is that such train- Ing in schools would ensure fitness for military service if ever required.London, Oct.4\u2014The \u2018Globe\u2019 says if American farmers are allowed, as a correspondent informs us, to come and acquirg the lande of the Canadian North-West, without taking the oath of allegiance, and without becoming British subjects, it ie certainly exceedingly unwise and remiss of the Canadian authorities.It is absurd and unjust that while men are clamoring in England for a chance to get back to the land, that aliens should be allowed to take up property while still the subjects of another state.It is a matter that needs to be inquired into.COLONEL OF WOODSTOCK REGI- Woodstock, Ont, Oct.4\u2014Mr.Jchn White, head of the big dry, goods firm of Jobn White & Co., has been offered the position of colonel of Woodstock's

Ott.3.\u2014The interest in the proceedings in the Police Court in con- \u2018nection with the London election case 1s on the increase.The evidence being brought out is in support of that of Jeremiah Collins, deputy returning officer for sub-division No.82.He testified that he had been given $1,000 by John O'Gorman to spend on election day, and had put out about $750.He arranged for paying voters through a man named William Mulloy.Ot 301 voters in his polling division, he said, 104 had been bought.He said, further, that O'Gorman had shown him how to fold the ballots so that when the counterfoils were torn off he could see opposite which names the crosses were placed.A man named Pearson was scrutineer, and his instructions were to keep a record of how each man voted.lf a man voted wrong he (Collins) put the ballot into the box with his left hand, and if he voted right the right hand was used.Collins put in a book kept by Pearson on which all the Hyman voter§ were marked X and those for Grey O.Collins added that the price paid to voters was \u2018 generally $10.\u201d > On Monday two men swore they h been bribed, generally receiving $10 each.On Tuesday six made like declarations.To-day balf a dozen made similar confession of venality.Charles Forward, a grey-haired man, of about sixty-five, was a cheerful witness.He owned a grocery, he said, but was in poor circumstances at election time.\u201cThis was the reason for your fall from virtue ?\u2019 asked Mr.Du Vernet.Turning to the magistrate the witness said : \u2018Collins and Hardy called and asked me to vote in the regular way.1 said I hadn't made up my mind.They intimated that there was money for me.I said money would be very useful.I was going to vote for Hyman anyway, but I thought I might as well get some of what was going.\u2019 \u2018Who paid you ¥ \u2018Jerry Collins.store.\u2019 \u2018How much did he give ?\u2018 Nine dollars.Collins took $1 for his commission and trouble, ed me.\u2019 \u2018I just walk round for mere exercise, was James McDonald\u2019s response to Mr.Du Vernet\u2019s query as to his occupation.\u2018How long have you kept up that strenuous life ?\u2018 Well, sometimes 1 feed the chickens.\u2018How much money did Collins get from you ?suddenly asked the Crown counsel, \u2018 None\u2014oh, yes he did\u2019 \u2018Ab, I thought so.How much ?\u2018 About ninety dollars! : \u2018 After the by-election ¥ \u2018Yes.Not a great many weeks.\u2019 \u201c What did you give it to him for ?No answer.\u201cWhat was the money for ?\u2018IT don\u2019t know.\u2018 What 7 \u2018I don\u2019t know.\u2018I think it only fair that witnesses should understand that the Crown will issue warrants in cases of perjury.What was the moncy for ?he again inquired.\u2018TI don\u2019t know.for election expe J \u2018Ah, I thought so.And what was your idea in letting Him have it ?\u2018I was advancing it merely as an accommodation to Collins.\u201d \u201cWhere did vou get it ?\u2018From the Dominion Bamk.\u2019 \u2018Who is the manager?\u2018Mr.Holden.I gave him a note for the money.\u2019 \u201cWhat interest had you in the election expenses 7\u2019 No interest.\u2019 Are you not a politician ?\u2019 He came to my He told me it was No.On.1 see.You are a capitalist.\u2019 NO.Then what caused your generosity ?1t vas a loan.\u2019 \u201chat security did Collins give * 1 don\u2019t think he gave any.Has the \u2018loan\u2019 been returned ?No.\u201d And what have vou done in the matter ?\u2018 Nothing.The evidence to-day was of the same character as that given yesterday.Arthur Bentley, a carpenter, of London, said Jerry Collins promised him $10 if he would vote for Hyman.He voted for Gray and did not get the money, Charles Leitch got 9 from Collins in Levis Hotel.Collins kept $1 as a rake- off.D.Thomas received $%5 from Collings and E.O.Enigh said Collins promised him $10, and it was still coming.A.Galecuff said he was promiesd $5 by Hardy and $10 by Servise and the latter put the money in an envelope.He reported the occurrence to the Conservative committee.Mr.Du Vernet announced to the court that he would ask for a warrant for Buchner, the returning officer, unless the latter produced certain books and documents asked for.Mr.Du Vernet also surprised the Court by asking for the discharge of Servise, and putting the latter in the box as a Crown witness.Servise, however, shuffled and evaded answering many questions, and first denied having received money, although he afterwards admitted receiving a number of envelopes from Mulloy.The magistrate severely commented upon the actions of the witness, saying the man was beating about the bush and not telling the truth, and that there was a great suspicion of perjury.Mr.Du Vernet said that steps would be taken against perjurers.TRUE BILLS FOR MANSLAUGHTER.Guelph, Oct, 3.\u2014The Grand Jury this afternoon found true bills for manslaughter, against Conductor Thompson and Engineer

SUCCESS TO KNOWLEDGE OF METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS.Paris, Oct.3\u2014Lieut.Frank P.Labm, winner of the international balloon contest.and Major Hersey, his companion, arrived here from England to-day.Much of their success is attributed to Major Hersey's knowledge of meteorological conditions, obtained as the result of long service in the Weather Bureau at Washington.Before the departure of the wirming balloon, Major Hervey closely examined the latest weather reports, and knew that the heavier and faster outer currents would be at the surface, Consequently, while their rivals were vainly testing the upper air, the Americans re mained close to the earth.Their judgment was vindicated by the fact that.although the \u2018United States\u2019 was the twelfth balloon to start, it was the fit to reach the English coast._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS.Ottawa, Oct.3.\u2014The Board of Railway Commissioners will meet on Oct 16 to hear a number of applications.The Canadian
