a place not under local prohibition, unaer the condition of paying a duty and obeying regulations, and acting within restrictions, lawfully imposed, then the provincial law under which the by-law wus

SPORTING NEWS| TESTS FOR OLYT1PIC REGATTA \u2014 John O'Neill, the Well Known Halifax Oarsman, Will be a Competitor.$ \u2014 Halifax, March £6.-The announcement that Lou Scholes, the Diamord Sculls win- acer, and Lowler, the amateur champion sculler of Canada, are likely to participate in the test races for the Olympic regatta, has created much interest here, as the present outlook is promising that J.O'Nelil, the well known Jfalifax oarsman, will also be a competitor.1 If he should, it will be the first time that the Lower Provinces will have a club representative in a big amateur event ia the Upper Provinces.This is entirely due to distance, as it has been found more convenient to go to Worcester or Philadelphia, taking a steamer to Boston, than it is to go to St.Cathurines, a journey of over 1,100 miles from Halifax, or a similar distance to half-way across the Atlantic.O'Neill, who has Leen champion of the Maritime Provinces for three years, has defeated the Cenadian champions of both 1906 and 1907 in the association singles at the champicnskips of the National Asso- Ciation of Amateur Carsmen.In 1908, at Worcester, Mass., he was next to Bennett, of Springfield, Mass., and finished ahead of Eph.Magee, Toronto, who had won the Canadian championship.Last year at Philadelphia he was beaten by Miller, New York, but he finished ahead of Rowler, who had won the Canadian Henley the previous week.O'Neill's friends are anxious to have him compete at the tests,even though the distance to St.Catharines is so great.They know that he will do his best, and if he does not qualify they are willing that the best shall be selected, making no claims in a sectional way that this portion of Canada should have a representative.St.Mary\u2019s Amateur Athletic Association, which O'Neill represents, will shortly take action, and will also conzider sending their four-oared crew (o take part in the Lest regatta.ANTI-GAMBLING BILLS BY OVERWHELMING MAJORITY THR ASSEMBLY PASS MEASURE TO ABOL- iSll LEGAL PROTECTION QF GAMBLING ON RACE TRACKS IN NEW YORK STATE.Albany, N.Y., March :6.\u2014The Assembly this afternoon fulfliled expectations by passing, by an overwhelming majority, the bills of Assemblyman Ilart, designed to abolish the legal protection of gambling: at race tracks in this state, in accordance with the reccmmendation of Coveruor Hughes in his second annual message to the Legitlature.The first of the bills, the discrimination galized gambling that to eliminate whieh has virtually le- within race track enclosures, while it is a feleny olsewkere, was passed.A number of amendments were defeated by a large majority.The other bill would amend ithe penal code by making the penalty for gambling imprisonment, with no alternative of fine.The penal code amnendment was passed by a vote o! 1.6 to 7.The bills zo now _té the Senate for concurrence.The corresponding Senate bills, introduced by Senator Agnew, of New York.and iden- tica: except in one particular, are + special order in the Senate for next Wednesday.In that House the penal code bill has been amended jr committee so as to take effect on Sept.1.Senator Agnew will try to have the amendment eliminated.Drange WRESTLING TOURNAMENT \u2014 SANCTIONED BY THE .A.A.A., WILL BE HELD IN M.A.A.A.BUILDING ON APRIL 21 AND THE SUCCEEDING DAYS.Further details concerning the amateur wrestling championships to be held at the M.A.A A.under the auspices of the M.A.A.A.Boxing and Wrestling clubs, have just been embodied in a pamphlet that is being sent to all the wrestling clubs throughout the

such gangrenous sores upon the body politic, they long endure them.It is at length announced that at the instance of the President this newspaper is to be prosecuted.But how, every one asks, is it possible that such a hellish people could come into being as would support and give heed to such teachings?How especially is it that these.people come from a country that was so long the centre of the Christian world, and where an ancient form of Christianity has from immemorial time held free and exclusive sway?Have these people remained pagans from the first, or what has turned a Christian peasantry into a proletariat of despair?FINANCIAL REVIEW, The Montreal market this week bas acted extremely well, and the advances in most of the active issues have been maintained.The rise in prices has not brought out much stock.Holders of good securities are in a strong position and are not disposed to part with them at prevailing prices.There is a well- grounded feeling that securities are worth more than the prices offered at present.A query that is often made by investors is what to do with funds after realizing on present holdings.'l'his is a question tnat repeatedly crops up.However, unless the investor can better his position by seling, there is not much to be guined by disposing of his securities, and leaving his money in the banks at three percent.Money on St.Francois Xavier street is working easier, and after the openiag of navigation another drop in quoted rates for money is expected.\u2018 When this comes to pass the market will without doubt show greater activity than at present.Insiders will then take a more prominent part in stock trading, and an upward movement is scheduled to take place.À group of stocks that has shown 1 particular strength recently has been milling securities, Ogilvie preferred having advanced five points on the an- nouhcement that a bonus dividend may be paid on the common stock.Lake of the | PE a ae Woods bas

earnings.Montreal Street shows decided gains on light trading, selling at a high level of 185.Power is steady in price, being unchanged for the week, but a strong undertone exists and \u201cthe demand for this issue is active.International issues have been quite prominent in the trading of the week, with heavy purchases.Mexicans Were \u2018inclined to be heavy, but.Rio issues were forced up to a higlfer level to help to market the new issue of bonds, which are to be utilized to extend this large South American proposition.\u2018Soo\u2019 common has gained in favor with purchasers since its recent increase of dividend to Six percent.This stock sold at 10742 \u2018at Thursday\u2019s closing, thus recovering nearly fifty points from its low level of last year.Canadian Pacific is rlso strong, and talk of a discovered short interest caused a sharp rise in this popular issue.Laurentide preferred and the \u2018Textiles continue in favor.Twin City and \u2018Nova Scotia show small losses on the week.Dominion Iron & Coal stocks \u2018ing further development towards a set- \u2018tlement of the prolonged dispute before making active purchases.Our leading railways continue to report weekly decreases in\u2019 their earnings, but this is explained by the fact that the usual spring traffic is now only beginning to move and is much later than \u2018in other seasons.Next month decided increases are \u2018expected.Several banks recently have given notice of their !n- \u2018tention to increase their capital and otherwise strengthen their business connections, while in nearly every province in the Dominion manufacturing establishments are preparing plans for an extension of their works and the employ- \u2018ment of more men in thousands.The Canadian street railway companies continue to increase their earnings, as shown in the splendid monthly statements just issued by the Montreal, l'o- ronto and Winnipeg corporations.The statements of the Illinois traction company also show splendid returns.The \u2018balance of trade in favor of the United States, as shown by the February foreign trade statement, the excellent winter wheat prospect, the improving tendency in business, the continued ease in the money market, and fipally the undoubted fact that politicians generadly are beginning to find that hectoring ot corporations and financial institutions: has injured business, have all contrib; uteu to a more cheerful feeling with re: gard to the outlook for the future trade of the republic.At the same time, the return of confidence is a slow process, and as yet there is only a fair resumption of former activities.The country is overridden with legislation, In the last two or three years a network of law has been woven around all operations and conditions until in the tangle of restriction and regulation, the every day operations of business life are largely hampered.Practically every legislature in the Union has been working overtime to produce laws so as to take in every pos sible feature of trade from Maine to Florida and the Atlantic to the Pacific.A large proportion of such legislation has, according to leading merchants and financiers, injured trade development.During the past twelve months, nearly twenty thourand bills were passed by the difierent state legislatures, and by the government at Washington.Operating expenses for the present month are to show a reduction as compared wilh previous months as a result of various economies that have been practised by all United States railways ard certain large corporations.There Is an appreciable increase in the merchandise tonnage.l'rattic in agricultural implements has improved, and the lumber industry is showing renewed activity.Farm products are being sold in farger quantities, and farmers are securing higher prices.\u2018The advances in all lines of grain have given sellers handsome returns for tneir holdings, and as a result large sums of money are changing hands, causing money to be more treely circulated in the rural districts.Spring business in dry goods and in general merchandise is better than was expected carly in the season, but it 1s stil] below the record for the corresponding month last year.Bullish sentiment on Wall Street this week has received a decided stimulug from the daily news developments.and the indications point, just now, to a continuation of the upward movement which commenced about ten days ago.The miportanee of the Supreme (ourt decisions declaring unconstitutional the rate laws passed by several state legislatures recently, is generally recognized, and the introduction on \u2019l'uesday last ot the bill amendatory of the anti-trust law confirms the rumors which have been prevalent, during the past two weeks, that an understanding had been reached with representatives of capital and labor as to the legislative pro- REA icipation of a favorable continue to drag and the market is await- | -jan inquiry.- \u2014 | gramme best suited to meet the needs of the present situation.Lhe beginning of public reports by the American Sugar Refining Company is well received, as it is believed it will lead to similar action by other important corporations, whose failure to take stockholders into their confidence has aroused adverse comment.lt is believed that the report of the Bureau of Corporation\u2019s giving the result of its investigation into the affairs of the United States Steel Corporation will prove most gratifying to stockholders, and there is every reason to exnect better prices for these issues.The reported resumption on full time of the General Electric Company plant at Schenectady tends to corroborate the reports of business improvement.I'he stock market has enjoyed an extensive advance during the past week, due largely to anti- message from President Roosevelt, which was sent to \u2018Congress on Wednesday.Views of the message, after digestion, are favorable.Mr.Rockefeller is credited with the \u2018statement that it will restore confidence and promote investment and business.The advances in Wall Street prices ran as high as six to nine this week, and prices seem to be returning te the normal more rapidly than bad been expected.The \u2018bull\u2019 elements are certainly in possession of the market for the present at least, and it must be said to their credit that they are combating against the most trying circumstances, in their heroic effort to bring about a more encouraging and comforting condition of affairs, \u2014\u2014 WANTS A

Way to Canada.PROSPECTS THAT PRESENT SEASON WILL EQUAL, IF NOT MUEVAXS, ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS.\u2014\u2014 Although the immigrants entering this country uring January and February by way of the Atlantic ports showed a {falling off of over 50 percent, as a result of the warning issued by the government against coming into this country during the winter, there is every prospect that the total influx of newcomers trom Europe is going to be as great this season as in any previous year; in fact, these who are in close touch with the situation say they would not be at all surprised if the record were far surpassed this year.Mr.Robert Kerr, the passenger trainc manager of the C.P.R., said this morning that now the government ban had been removed, the immigration season was opening splendidly, and the advices he had received from officials on the other side left no room for doubt that this was going to be another banner year in immigration.There are at the present time between eight and ten thousand people on the -.antic on their way to this country, and the majority of them are people who ictend to make their homes here, \u2018Lhe principal boats bringing these are the \u2018Empress of Ireland,\u2019 due in Halifax this week, 1,503 passengers; the \u2018Montreal\u2019 left Antwerp on March 20, 1,762 passengers; the \u2018Corsican\u2019 sailed on March 19, 1,303 passengers; \u2018Lake Manitoba,\u201d sailed on March 25, 1,159 passengers; the Allan line turbiner, sailing to-day from Liver- pcoi, some 1,500 passengers.In addition to these there are other smaller vessels on the way, and of course a considerable number coming to Canada via United States ports.\u2018All this,\u201d added Mr.Kerr, \u2018looks verv encouraging, and I think we can conti- dently anticipate another splendid season 1n immigration Workgimmpmme THE HILL INCIDENT.Popes German Foreign Office Declare Opposition is American, Not German.Berlin, March \u20ac7.\u2014The matter of the acceptance by the German government of Dr.David Jayne Hill, now American minister at The Hague, as American ambassador to succeed Mr.Charlemagne Tower, continues to-day to hold public interest.The Foreign Office deals with the affair by denying that any expression adverse to Dr.Hill has come from the German side, by declaring that he is persona grata and that all contrary statements are inventions put into circulation by designing Americans.It states that the Opposition to Dr.Hill 1s Amer- 1can and not German.On the other hand, the Emperor William\u2019s desire not to have Dr.Hill come to Berlin, has been a subject of discussion in the official household of His Majesty for weeks past.General von Plessin, adjutant-general to His Majesty, has referred to it, and it is known outside of His Majesty's immediate suite that Admiral von Mueller, chief of His Majesty\u2019s private marine cabinet, and Admiral von Tirpitz, secretary of the admiralty, are among those who have told the Emperor that they did not regard Dr.Hill as a suitable ambassador.Mr.Tower's part is explained to have been contined to transmitting the Emperor\u2019s definite communication to President Roosevelt.His Majesty, at the same time, requested a distinguished personal friend of President Roosevelt, who 13 now in Germany, to write to the executive concerning the Emperor's unwillingness to receive Dr.Hill.Both of these communications were sent at the express wish of His Majesty.It 1s possible that the Foreign Ofhce is not aware of the second communication, which is probably still in the trans- Atlantic mail.frere THB TEMPERANCE FIGHT ANTI-ALCOHOLIC LEAGUE READY TO TAKE UP THE GAUNTLET, Referring to the recent meeting held in Montreal by those interested in the liquor traffic to protect their interests against the anti-alcoholic movement, the \"Action Sociale\u2019 declares that it 18 satis- hed to see the battle fairly and openly declared between the two camps, and the temperance people will jtake up the gauntlet.The article th adds: \u2018We do not deny to any one the right to protect himself and to improve his material condition, but, on the otner hand, we are not ready to admit that a whole population should be exposed to degradation in order to favor a certain branch of trade.For the moment, we will simply state, with the dealers in alcohol, that a propagation of anti-alcoholic doe- trines implies a less consumption of the liquid referred to.Such a state of things leads the dealers and producers to complain, because their revenue will decrease; but what do they think preferable: that their revenue should increase and alcoholism at the same time, or that their revenue should diminish and temperance make progress?If their cash box was not interested, we would have no doubt as to their reply, but as a paying business is concerned, specious reasons are sought to defend it.The assertion © that it is not necessary to reduce the t pumber of licenses to prevent excesses is.ome of those reasons, and we will dis- Saacof it in a coming article,\u2019 xo cere Se Ae kb KILLING OF MR.D.W.STEVENS.Message of Condolence From the

CRITICISE POLICE.Restaurant Keepers Who Sold Liquor en Sunday Given Exemplary Sentences, \u2014 a At a meeting of the License Commissioners, held yesterday afternoon, the nine restaurant keepers who violated the law by selling liquor on Sunday, March 1, appeared before the commissioners and condemned to a fine of $50 and costs, or three months in prison.In passing sentence on those who pleaded guiity, Judge Piché said he noticed that proceedings had been instituted against nine saloonkeepers only, whereas there might have been at least twenty-five more, if the police had exerted themselves.In some places, it had been reported, as many as sixty persons have been found in a saloon at « time, with four bartenders serving drinks to them.Although the accused appeared before the court for the first time, Information showed that they had violated cases right under the very eyes of the police .Then, when the License Commissioners had their sitting, for the renewal of the licenses, those who violated the law would make a solemn promise to the board that it would never happen again, but when they obtained the renewal of their licenses they went back into their own ways again.CHIEF CAMPEAU WAS ABSENT.At this stage, Judge Piché called for Chief Campeau, and when it was found that he was not in court, His Honor sent Captain Landriault to his office for him, but he could not be found.; The judge then proceeded to state that Chief Campeau had been asked on March 5 last to make a report to the commissioners of what was going on, and as to how the law was being observed, and he reported that ten violations had been made on Sunday, March 1, but 1t seems that the police had let some of the places that were doing such a thriving business proceed with their illegal work.He then imposed a fine of $50 and costs, of three mcnths\u2019 imprisonment on the following'\u2014 Joseph Landry, P.k Kavanagh, F.Bouillon, J.O'Connor, F.J.Murray, Joseph Racette, Daley, G.Perkins and Fabien Coté.Notice was given by Judge Piché that should any more complaints be made against them, their licenses would De taken from them at once.JUDGE CHOQUET ON DUTIES OF POLICE.Judge Choquet, following Judge Piché, said that people were everywhere complaining of the increasing Sunday liquor selling, while temperance movements were being started in all directions for the purpose of suppressing the evil Lo which the increase of crime was more or less erroncously ascribed.Such'a state of affairs naturally tended to create public opinion against the License Commissioners, whose duty, however, consisted not in watching over saloons, but in adjudicating upon the infractions reported fo them.The detection of offences against the law devolved upon the police of the provincial revenue department, as well as upon the city palice force, hoth of which were supposed to assist the commissioners, However, as the\u2019 police of the revenue department had a good deal of outside business to attend to, it remained principally with the local police force to watch over the selling of liquor in the city and see that the law was respected.His Honor said that before proceeding with the hearing of anplications for the renewal of licenses the commissioners had been in the habit of calling for a report from the Chief of Police.In the the law more than once, and in some | DECLARATION MADE THAT MANY RESTAURANTS DO THRIVING SUNDAY TRADR AND ARE NOT MOLESTED.report which Chief Campeau made before the February session, his information had been very incomplete, only two or three names being on the list of those who violated the law.They accordingly asked for another report, with the result that ten restaurant keepers were brought up.The commissioner went on to say that if the police had only done their uuty at least twenty-five more might have been in the dock.\u2018The chief and his officers are sworn to have the law respected,\u201d concluded His Honor, \u2018and if they do not perform their duty they are breaking their oath of office.POLICE UNDER ORDERS OF THE COMMISSIONERS.Mr.Recorder Weir then remarked that the law placed the chief under the orders of the commissioners, and he wondered what explanation he could give for his absence, as well as in extenuation of the fact that out of ten saloonkeep- ers arrested, against whom no report had been made by him or his officers, nine had pleaded guilty.\u2018Why, it seems that they have no regard for the law or anything else.\u2019 The Recorder concluded by saying that the increase of crime was due to the increase of liquor selling.Judge Piché remarked that the Licensed Victuallers\u2019 Association, in order to protect themselves against the temperance movement, had petitioned the legislature, alleging that the abuse came not from the open trade, but from the clandestine trade.OPPOSITION TO WEST END LICENSE.The Citizens\u2019 League, through Mr.Claude Hickson, advocate, objected to the granting of a license to H.5.Beli veau, at 644 St.Catherine street west, corner of Crescent street.Mr.D.Murphy, who appeared for the saloon- J.I keeper, asked for a delay till next week, ) , to find out whether the opposition really Michael ' had the majority of ratepayers in their district in their favor.Mis request was : granted.Application for a transfer was made by .C.Longpré, of 1058 Ontario street.who sold his saloon to William Simard.Mr.J.A.Brodeur, advocate, representing Gedeon Lanthier, asked that the com: missioners attach $270 on the price of the sale.The matter was postponed till the next meeting.CHIEF CAMPRAU EXPLAINS ABSENCE.Mr.O.Campeau, chief of police.referring to the statements made by Judge Piché concerning his absence from the cômmissioners\u2019 court yesterday afternoon, explained that he had been out of his office all morning and saw the written notice to attend the meeting only about 4.30 p.m., when it was too late to go.It was probable, he said, that the notice had been delivered at his office during the forenoon, but as he had been away he had not seen it.As regards meeting Captain Landriault, Chief Cam- peau said it was about 3.45 p.m.when he met him in the corridor of the City Hall.and was then told he was wanted at the meeting of the License Commis- : sioners.He asked what was the trouble, and was informed it was some matter before the commissioners.But just then it was impossible to get away, and when he was free it was nearly 4.30.He then went to the office and saw the written notice of the meeting.and was then told the meeting was all over.ASSAULTED À CONDUCTOR PROMINENT AMERICAN WRITER AND LECTURER SENTENCED TO JAIL IN LONDON.London, March 26.\u2014 In the London Police Court to-day Magistrate Garrett sentenced Dr.Stanton

liberated pending an appeal.\u2018I'he case has caused a sensation owing to Dr.Colt\u2019s prominence.He is chairman of the West London \u2018Ethical Society, and editor of the \u2018Ethical Review.Dr.Colt was born in Columbus, Ohio, and was at one time the head worker of the New York University settlement.He holds degrees from a number of American universities.OCEAN LINERS RECIPROCATE.The Allan and the C.P.R.lines entered into an agreement yesterday after- ncon regarding the transatlantic lines from New York and Canadian ports to Europe, for a reciprocal use of return tickets so that passengers sailing to K¥ rope in the spring can buy a return from the company which carries them over, and this return will be valid to come home on the other line.At the same time the steamship companies have decided to abolish the low rate that has hitherto prevailed, so that there will in future be no reduction for the return trip.Yesterday afternoon the C.P.KR.authorities stated that they would join the arrangement provided all the other companies did so, and on hearing of this, Mr.vu.Hannah, of the Allan line, stated that lus company would do the same, so that the agreement is now complete.The n:w plan will go into effect at once, and will include the following lines: Canadian l\u2019reifie, Allans, Dominion and Leyland + 'anadian), and the Cunard, North German Lloyd,

seven o'clock last night, Mr.John Fitzgerald, proprietor of the km- pire Temperance Caté, corner of Craig and St.Alexander street, was standing in his doorway, when a young man who was passing suddenly made a grab tor Mr.Fitzgerald's watch chain.Luckily the chain broke.Then the man took to his heels, but was pursued by Mr.Fitzgerald, who captured him and turn- el him over to Constables

STEAMSHIP LINE.To Run Between Vancouver and Japan, by Arrangement With the C.P.R.SIGNIFICANT, SAYS MR.R.KERR, AS SHOWING GROWING IMPORTANCE OF CANADA'S TRADE WITH THE ORIENT.The C.P.R.has just entered into an arrangement with the Chargeurs Reuni- Steamship Company by wnmich a new steamship line will be establishdll be tween Yokohama and Vancouver, giving a twenty-six-day schedulet between Japan and Europe.This company will, on May 1 next, put three large steamers on the route between Yokohama and Vancouver, and two other steamers «hat will carry treight exclusively.The arrange: ment with the C.P.K.will allow pas sengers to book through to interior points in Canada, the United States and Europe, the passenger rate from Yokohama to Vancouver, Seattle, and San Francisco being #155, which is below that of the existing lines.Frenght will also be vav- ried on through bills of lading to interior points.Mr.Robert Kerr, of the C.PP.R,, in Speaking of the arrangement this morning, said there was nothing sensational in it, but it marked another sten in the development which 1s going on in the Arade between Canada and Japan.Chargeurs Reunis Jine was a line with headquarters at Antwerp that for vears had been doing business with the East.and it had had boats on the run between Yokohama and San Francisco.They were now going to establish an Around.the-world\u2019 service, similar to that carried on by the Blue Funnell line.Starting out from Antwerp the boats would run through the Suez Canal to Hong Kong.then on to Yokohama, then to \\ancou- ver, then down the Sout) American coast.through the Straits of Magellan.and back to Antwerp.The coming of the boats to Vancouver would mean that passengers and freight for Canada and the United States, and also for the Canadian route to Europe, would be handed over to the C.P.R., instead of going to the United States.There will be a boat about once every six weeks.\u2018As you see.\u2019 added Mr.Kerr, \u2018is is \u2018nothing startling, but it is significant as showing thé importance Canada is attaining in transportation matters.REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS \u2014 A hundred and seventy-two thousand dvaars was tue Price paid lor a
