Light Committee decided yesterday atternoon to make application to the Finance Committee for tunds in addition to the amount already granted for the reconstruction of No.ZU fire station at the corner ot Craig and Chenne- ville streets in order that the brigade headquarters may be removed there irom the City Hall.The probable total expenditure was not suggested, but it 18 estimated that not less than sixty thousand dollars will be needed.If the Finance Committee will sanction the proposal, and vote a provisional amount ot money, plans for the changes will be drawn up at once.The already published report of Chicf Benoit in favor of the establishment of an automobile squad of six men as an auxiliary to the hre brigade, was also adopted, and a request tor 3,000 will be made to the Finance Committee on Friday.A request will also be made for $1,680 for fifty-six new arc lamps.The committee took up the letter of the Saraguay Light, Heat & Power Company asking permission to enter the city to supply electric light to the citizens.Mr.E.Champagne, the manager of the company, said if the permission vere granted, light could be supplied to the citizens to-morrow.The company had its lines constructed right up to the city limits at St.Henri.Ald.Yates\u2014How do you propose to come in\u2014underground ?Mr.Champagne\u2014We shall of course have to accept whatever conditions the city is pleased to impose, knowing we shall be treated fairly.If you say the wires must be put in underground conduits, we shall do so.The question arose as to whether the city had the right to allow the company to put up poles in St.Henri and Ste.Cunegonde in view of the fact that the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company, has an exclusive franchise in those two places.Mr.Champagne remarked that his company, in virtue of powers granted by the legislature, had a right of way up to the city limits.He appreciated the fact that he could not be allowed to supply light in St.Henri and Ste.Cune- gonde, but he maintained that the franchise of the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company could not prevent the Saraguay Company passing their lines through those districts.The committee decided to refer the matter to the law department for an cpinion as to whether the city could .| grant the Saraguay Company privileges to carry its wires through St.Henri and Ste.Cunegonde.The report of the Police Committee asking for money for the provision of a police station in the mewly annexed Mount Royal Ward having been referred to the Fire Committee for a joint report as to the advisability of making a fire station as well as a police station there, the chairman was authorized to go with Chief Benoit and Ald.Proulx and Chief Campeau to inspect the district with a view of finding a building which will be adaptable as a joint fire and police station, temporarily, until Dec.31 next.Mr.A.Parent, superintendent of the lighting department, asked for $1,35S for the payment of a lighting inspector\u2019s salary for the balance of the year, at the rate of $1,000 per annum, for the pur chase of a horse and cart and for horse keep.Mr.Parent said the cost of waste from leakages, etc., in the municipal buildings alone, which could be prevented by an\u2019 efficient inspection, was sufficient to pay the inspector\u2019s salary.It was resolved to make application to the Finance Committee for the money.At the request of Ald.Gallery, the lighting superintendent was instructed to put up three additional lights at the Wellington street subway.In regard to the appropriation cf a piece of land on Mill street for the purse of building a fire station there.as it is government property, Ald.Gallery was asked to go to Ottawa to ascertain what agreement the city and government could come to over the question.It was decided to call for tenders for a new fire engine.CHURCH DEVOLUTION LAW THE POPE DECLARES AGAINST CLAUSE PROVIDING FOR CREATION OF MUTUAL AID SOCIETIES FOR AGED PRIESTS.Paris, May 20.\u2014It is officially announced here that the Pope has instructed the French episcopate to refuse the clause in the Church devolution law providing for the creation of mutual aid societies for aged priests.These societies, it was planned, would not only take over the property, but also certain pension funds for aged priests, amounting to $4,000,000, but in accordance with a recent amendment to the devolution of Church property bill, they would accept pious foundations fo.mass.The news of this refusal is received with much regret by the independent newspapers.The \u2018 Temps,\u2019 however, declares the act of parliament was inspired) by a praiseworthy desire to respect jthe wishes of the dead, and it considQrs the argument that the societies might M11 under the domination of the schismaties to be specious.This refusal of the Church will result, under the law, in turning over funds valued af many million dollars to public charities.In his letter of rejection, the Pope says he earnestly desired to save the French vriests from further sacrifices, \u2018ap \u201cwas disposed to authorize large Pncessions provided the law permitted Æhe priests to safeguard; the dignity and ecclesiastical discinline.- But the law Get your invoices printed at the \u2018 Witness\u2019 Printing House.\u2018.proposed the formation of\\ societies open Tuvrspay, May 21, Jore to all who wanted to join, and provided no means for excluding those who strayed from the Church.Moreover, it was proposed to form a separate body, which, In a wav, would lose its distinct charac: ter, primarilv as an organization of priests, but more particularly with regard to its relations to the Holy See.\u201c While the authors of the law seek to avoid the odium of having taken away the bread of poor, aged and infirm priests,\u201d the Pope savs, in part.\u201cthev offer to return to the Church a small part of the sequestered property.What they hand back with one hand thev lessen the value of with the other bv imposing restrictions and exceptions.\u2019 \u201cUnder the proposed law the celebration of masses would be exposed to perils, the Pope says, and the Church cannot authorize a system which is in opposition to the intentions of persons deceased and contrary to the Church's unchangeable rules, relative to the celebration of masses.The Pope asks all priests to offer up one mass a vear on hehalf of those who instituted the pious foundations, and he savs that one mass will be said each month at Rome for the repose of the souls of those persons.Furthermore.the Pope sets forth that he has deposited the sum of monev necessary for the saving of twn thousand masses a vear to this same end.° MRS.GUNNESS DEAD* CORONER OFFICIALLY DECLARES REMAINS TO BE HERS.Laporte, Ind., May

wisdom of the Nestors of either party, who having passed the bourne that is, or should be, to our sages the end of party strife, are free to look with undistorted vision upon the greater questions of government.There was recently discussed the question of how to increase the usefulness ol parliament, which has largely grown futile as a governing body through its proneness to party disputations, and, what the public which reads the abridged newspaper reports does not so fully realize, through the garrulity of members.The less pro- ininent members are great in their own \u201counties, and cannot think to go back to their constituents without having first distributed among them copies of Han- sard, reporting great speeches of theirs, delivered to the parliamentary furniture, it not to the assembled members.Sir Mackenzie Bowell and Sir Richard Cartwright, easily the leaders on either wing of this Olympus.are agreed in deprecating the introduction into our parliament ot the closure, which was forced upon the British Parliament by the obstruc- tve of the Irish party, or of the limitations où debate long ago forced upon the United» States Congress by members speaking, as it was called, for Buncombe\u2014that 1s.for the purpose of impressing constituents with their tacties importance as members ot Congress.They were both agreed in thinking that the abolition of Han- gard would work wonders in cur ing of talk members who do not get oth- crwise reported.We wonder if either sage thought there was any hope of the House of Commons voting by majority to abolieh Hansard.Such acts of self- wnmolation are almost inconceivable.even if there were not so many fairly good reasons, other than the real one, to urge for the continuance of a record to which appeal can forever be made as to what was actually said in the House\u2014that is unless the pile of volumes recording the words upon words uttered in the House gets so big that the librarian will be lost who attempts to burrow in it.Even while deploring the loquacity it produces, we are not sure that it would be for the betterment of rarliament that the majority of its members should have no other record than the recording of votes on division.Sir Richard Cartwright wonld like to see the larger propôrtion of the private bills originate in the Senate.He even hinted at placing some disability on introducing such measures in the Com- mens.At first sight this would seem to us a much more serious invasion of the people's liberties than the limitation of debate, against which arguments may have been arrayed which have not been reported.There is no other organization for debate, whether permanent or occasional, that does not have rules sharply defining the limits under which orators may speak.There were remarks also with regard to the increasing number of members of the House of Commons, which in the near future must under the present rule of allotment become a very unwieldy body, and one hard to accommodate with desk room in a chamber of acoustic size.The growth of the House would be retarded should this province of Quebec greatly add to its population.\u2018Quebec has under the constitution a fixed representation in the Commons of sixty-five.If it should double its population each of the sixty-five would represent twice as many people.As the other provinces are to be represented proportionately to population, the result would be that only half as many members would be needed to represent the same number of people in them.\u2018There is every prospect of a very large increase in the population of this province, especially in the city of Montreal and in the country to be opened by the National Transcontinental Railway.Whatever growth there is will go to the easing of the parliamentary situation.But it stands to reason thal the newer provinces should increase prcportionately much faster, and in order to prevent congestion in the House there may come the necessity of, without altering the proportions, reducing the total number of parliamentary representa- i tives.ere POLITICAL CAMPAIGN FUNDS.One of the worst features of Cunadian as well as United States politics is the necessity party managers are under of having large campaign funds.The same necessity exists in the United Kingdom, and it is curious to observe the methods, known or suspected, by funds are raised in each instance.Taking the last-named first, the charge has been openly mad: that men of great wealth, ambitious of social distin-tion, contribute the bulk of the amount required for party purposes.The truth of this charge finds confirmation in the frequent elevation to the peerage of men who have little to recommend them for that honor, except their wealth and known prodigality in financially backing the party to which they belong.The bestowal of peerages on big brewers, financial magnates, and successtul contractors, has been explained in this way.Ou general principles it must be conceded that it is a wise policy to recruit the House of Lords from the ranks of eminent commoners, but some of the selections have been little short of scandalous, and have tended to lower the veneration in which the hereditary chamber has been popularly held.In the United States other conditions prevail.The party in power has no titles to bestow, but it has an enormous patronage to distribute, and, what is of deeper consequence, it can, by means of the tariff and otherwise, legislate into the hands of great corporations huge profits at the expense of the public.This sys tem has created a class of multi-million- naires, trusts and corporations, who contribute to party campaign funds on business principles, just as they would buy oil for their machinery.They must keep the system going from which they derive their dividends, and which enables them to tax the people for their own benefit.In Canada, the protective tariff has a similar effect, as humorously illustrated by Sir John Macdonald's metaphor that the hogs should be grateful to the man in the tree who shakes down the nuis.There is besides the suspicion that the custom of getting a rakeoff from government contractors has long been in vogue.The disposal of the public domain on easy terms to obliging friends is a stock charge made by each party, when in opposition, against the government of the day.It is quite natural that those in the cold shades should fail to attribute to those basking in sunshine the possession cae a SE Is AIR which these} \\ THE MONTREAL of virtues they did not practice themselves when in power.Campaign funds have to be had in any case.Strippinz away all pretences, these can only be obtained on the strength of present favors or future expectations.Here we also have any number of political clubs which undertake to run the local electoral machinery and must have money to do it.A central organization is, therefore, necessary and, when a desirable party candidate is unable to finance for himself, it must supply him with the sinews of war.As most of the candidates ave poor, the central fund must finance the lot and it usually does, wherever the funds come from.Only legitimate expenses may be provided for, but these are always considerable, and the definition has proved elastic.In the United States just now, the Republican managers of the presidential campaign are reported to be in a quandary to find out where the four or five million dollars they need are to come from.They dare not accept large contributions from the trusts, as .they did last time, because, as one of them is quoted as saying, if they were caught doing so, the party would go down to defeat on that issue alone.He spoke from a professed knowledge of the temper of the people, who have made up their minds that the time has come when the combinations of wealth must quit financing presidential campaigns.No doubt, the corporations have their own ideas on the matter.After what transpired in the insurance investigations, they will be cxtremely careful about contributing to ther party in the pending campaign.\u2018This admission of an awakened public conscience is a good augury and we hope it is as lively in the Dominion as it 1s said to Le in the Republic.As has to be admitted, there must be election funds.The best way we know of to keep these funds clean is to require that their books shall be open to the public.Every contribution must be labelled with the name of the contributor.Every expenditure shall have a precise statement as to what it is given for.There must be no sundries on either side of the account.With the eyes of all men on the accounts there will be a minimum chance of corruption.The \u2018 Act to amend the Dominion Elections Act\u2019 introduced to the House by Mr.Alcorn, made full provision for the public return of all election expenses.The official agents for candidates were required to furnish all re- séidts, and from whom received, and all expenditures were likewise required to be set down in full detail, the name and description of each person to whom any sum should be paid and the reason for which it was paid to him being set out separately.Solemn declarations, as printed in Mr.Alcorn\u2019s draft bill, were required from both the agent and the candidate respecting such expenses.On the other hand, we do not find that Mr.Aylesworth\u2019s bill makes any provision for the publicity of accounts that does not now exist.Should such omissiqn not be mended, and should the Con- servalive party commit itself to the Alcorn measure, it will go ill with the Liberals in the country.That measure which is framed in accordance with British law and usage, has the present sunport of the Opposition leaders.But ther: is a difference between that and a party undertaking to bring in such a law.Under the Aylesworth bill, \u2018crackers and cheese\u2019 would still cover all sorts of fishy expenditures, while party contributions might come in from all sorts of sources, tainted as well as pat- rintie.position make it look as though its design was to obscure its old zeal for electoral purity in its new zeal as to which party shall have the advantage, whatever it may be, of constructing the voters\u2019 lists in certain provinces, \u2014 TRADE CONTRACTION.The bank statements for some months past have given clear evidence that the trade of the country continues to shrink.Thus the April statement issued to-day shows the note circulation to have been only $66,712,899, or more than two and a quarter million dollars less than the previous month, and over six million dollars less than a year ago.The total public deposits in Canada for April amounted to $551,871,716, which is nearly twenty-three million dollars less than the total deposits in April a year ago, but six millions more than for March of this year.As compared with March, the\u2019 increase for the past month in public deposits is solely in the demand deposits.Current loans in Canada for April amounted only to $539,330,752, or nearly six million dollars less than for March, and nearly forty-seven million dollars less than for April a year ago.Short or call loans in Canada for Apri} amounted only to $41,585,563, or twa millions odd less than March, and nearly nine millions less than April.1907.Thus, it will be seen that during the space of the past twelvemonths the note The recent tactics of the Op-! DAILY WITNESS circulation has shrunk about 81% percent; t.e total deposits about 4 percent\u2014of :ch the demand deposits have shrunk about 7% percent, and the deposits bearing interest about 214 percent; the call loans about 17% pereent; and current loans about 8 percent.These shrinkages do not point at all to undesirable conditions.On the contrary, up to a year ago, the enterprises of the country had expanded by leaps and bounds, the demands for money had increased beyond the available capital, and credits were being strained to the breaking point.It was necessary to call a halt, and the bankers were compelled to put on the brake.We have been and are now passing through a period of readjustment of prices and other conditions, but the country was never more healthy and safe, and it only needs a good all-round harvest to insure a further period of expansion.It may be said here, that ad- vices from the West to-day are full of glowing crop prospects, crop conditions were never better, if so good, at this period of the year, and if favorable weather lasts over the harvest the West this fall will be a veritable Tom 11d- dler\u2019s Ground, far richer and more desirable than any gold mine.The total assets of the banks for April amount to $909,124,750, and the total liabilities to $898,560,144, of which $730,776,390 are liabilities to the public, and $167,783,754 to the shareholders.It may be of interest to note that the specie, Dominion notes or \u2018legals,\u2019 the net foreign balances, and foreign call loans\u2014which ara considered the available cash or emergency reserves of the banks\u2014amounted to $135,650,046 for April, or about two and a quarter millions less than for March and thirteen million odd more than for April a year ago.It is, of course, the policy of the banks to keep such reserves strong in times of panic or acute uncertainty.\u2014\u2014 FLLAG FLYING ON EMPIRE DAY BILL IN THE BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS REJECTED.(Canadian Associated Press.) London, May 21.\u2014The House of Commons, by a vote of 156 to 88, to-day refused to introduce a bill providing for the due display of the national flag on Empire Davy.SASKATCHEWAN | ~ LEGISLATURE WOMEN PETITION FOR DOWER RIGHTS \u2014 NEW ELECTION LAW, \u2014 Regina, Sask., May 20.\u2014The women of Saskatchewan to-day presented a monster petition to the Legislature asking that dower rights be extended to them.The new election law for the province provides for registration in towns and cities and enumeration in the rural districts, Manhood suffrage is given, and residence qualifications are a year in the province and three months in the electoral division.Chinamen will not be allowed to vote.The whole of the afternoon session today was devoted to estimates and committee work on the bill providing for new steam boiler regulations, provision being made that no boiler shall be sold unless it comes up to specifications to be laid down in the regulations of the department, In considering the estimates there was discussion over the care of the insane.At present the province pays $5,000 to the Manitoba Government for the care of the insane, »~ ™.Ellis advocated the establishment of an institution in this province.He said alienists now preferred the hospital treatment to the asylum treatment, as it was having better results, and he commended this ays- tem to the government.RAILWAY MUST REFUND RAILWAY COMMISSION DEALS DRASTICALLY WITH THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL.\u2014_\u2014 Toronto, May 21.\u2014The Board of Railway Commissioners dealt drastically with the Michigan Central Railway Company, yesterday, after hearing a complaint from the John Campbell Milling Company, of St.Thomas, that the railway company were charging a rate of six dollars per car for interswitching cars from the Grand Trunk over four hundred feet of track to their mills.Mr.Mabee, the chairman, said the company had been given every opportunity to justify the toll, but had {failed te do so, and made the following order: \u2018The order of the board therefore will be that the charges for switching cars by the Père Marquette from the Grand Trunk shall be three dollars per car, und the tolls of the Grand Trunk for handling cars from the point of connection with the Père Marquete for cars delivered to the Michigan Central by the Père Marquete shall be two dollars per car.\u2019 The board further finds that in view of the large amount which has been paid in tolls by the complainants it would only be just for the railway companies to refund to the complainants the difference between the tolls they have beun chayged and the figures indicated by the bard from the rate when such large télls were put in force down to the date \u2018of the order.\u2019 > THURSDAY.May 21, jo.JURY DENOUNCED.A Judge's Strong Criticism in Revolting Case at St.John, N.B.St.John, N.B., May 21.\u2014 The tral of Richard Gray, for infanticide, came io a sudden and unexpected finish in Carle- ton County Court, when the jury return: ed a verdict of not guilty.Judge Mcleod, who presided, denounced the jury m the most scathing terms for what he claimed was an outrage to justice.The evidence in the case was strongly against the prisoner, who had killed a newly-born child of his own daughter.The revolting feature of the case was that Gray admitted the patermity ol the baby he had killed.When the jury presented the verdict the judge said: 'T cannot compliment you on your finding.This is the most extraordinary verdict 1 ever heard.Jurymen taking the oath.as you have done, should pay some attention to the evidence.This is a plain, clear case of guilty.I trust none of you will ever again be permitted to have a place as a juryman in this country.It js actions such as vou have condoned that have brought disgrace upon the name of Carle- ton County.Prisoner (turning to Gray), I am obliged to discharge vou.because the jury says you are not guilty, which is mot in accord with the evidence.\u2019 AMERICAN ENGLISH AND EDUCATION FAR BEHIND THOSE OF ENGLAND, SAYS DR.JAMES GOW, -\u2014 a London, May 19.\u2014Dr.James Gow, head-master ot the Westminster School, challenges the views of Professors Alois Brande and W.W.Skeat that Amer:- cans speak as good English as the English themselves.He bases his qualiti- cation to .udge in the matter on his acquaintance with several American teachers who have visited the Westminster School.He objects to Prof.Brande comparing educated American adults with English children in the elementary schools and cites Americans restding in England as admitting that the Enghsh grammar and pronunciation are more accurate and more graceful than the American.He also contends that American education is far behind the standard of this country.James Gow.Litt.D.is a member of the Consultive Committee of the London Board of Education.He was born in 1854, and was a son of the late James Gow, member of the Rcyal Society of British Artists.METHODIST CHURCH BURNED CONGREGATION AT MORIN'S FLATS LOSE $3,000 BUILDING.\u2014 The Methodist Church and the resi dence of Miss Mary Jekill, adjoining.were burned to the ground vesterday morning, at Morin Flats, about fifty miles from Montreal.How the tire originated is unknown, but it became very fierce and dangerous, and despite the efforts of the villagers all efforts to extinguish the flames proved futile.The church was of rather small dimensions, and worth about £3,000, The house in which Miss Tekill.sister of the Rev.H.Jekill.of this citv, re sided, was gutted, and all the sontents of the beautiful home were destroyed.Tt is believed the buildings ave covered by insurance.The pastor of the church is the Rev.Thomas Hancock, 7of Shaw- bridge, twelve miles or go from Morin Flats; Both places are in the Montreal district of thie conference.and Mr, Hancock preaches at both appointments.Many Montrealers will know the church well, ns it ise the custom of not a few to spen:l their summer vacation in that locality.MURDERED IN CHICAGO \u2014 ROBERT C.P.HOLMES STRANGLED' BY THUGS IN AN ALLEY.Chicago, May 21.\u2014 Robert CC.P.Holmes, purchasing agent for the Commonwealth Edison Electric Company, in an alley in the down-town district early to-day was found dead.with the marks of garrotiing on his neckeand his tace black from the strangulation.There was also -a gaping wound im the skull, apparently

his opponent calls himself a Republican.\u201cDemocrats\u201d and \u201cRepublicans\u201d are the one Greer and the other Latin for the same thirg.\u2018But in a few weeks Democrats and Republicans will be organizing a peliti- cal war against each other in a spirit hardly less bellicose than that of actual warfare, with arsenals full of political projectiles on both sides; while the community will be inflamed, intrigue, and perhaps not a little corruption of different kinds, will be at work and the heroes on both sides will be blowing trumpets with more regard to effect than truth.\u2018Is this an institution in which a nation can forever acquiesce ?Are there no symptoms or signs of a change already in the shape of independent forces gathering outside the regular organizations and threatening to disorganize them in time ?Will not the progress of intelligence and free thought of themselves bring disintegration ; There used to be the man who could say that he had heard many speeches which changed his conviction, but never one which changed his vote.Such staunch partizans are probably now growing rare.\u2018It is needless to say that nothing like this was contemplated by the framers of your constitution.Washington sought by putting Hamilton and Jefferson together in his administration, to stifle partyism in its birth.The present intensity of party perhaps hardly antedates the Jacksonian era.\u2018You see to what party has come in England.What is called the Liberals, Radicals.Taborites.Socialists and Irish Home Rulers combined to hold possession of the government, and tampering with vital interests for that purpose.Gladstone, when be brought in his home rule bill was described by one who had been his greatest friend and admirer, as \u201cMorally insane.\u201d It manifestly 1m- perilled the unity of the nation.Yet it was forced through the House of Commons by the party whip, though afterwards thrown out by the House of Lords, with the hearty approval of the nation.\u201cThe great authority always cited in favor of the party system is Burke, who upholds it in bis \u201cThoughts on the cause of the present discontent.\u201d \u2018 \u201cParty is an assembly of men united for promoting by their joint endeavors the national interest upon some particular principle upon which they are all agreed.\u201d \u2018For my part I find it impossible to conceive that any one believes in his own politics or thinks them to be of any weight, who refuses to adopt the means of having them reduced into practice.\u2018Let me eay, by the way, that Burke though one of the most magnificent of writers, is not one of the safest of guides.With Burke\u2019s judgment compare that of his contemporary, Hume, a cooler and more philosophic observer: \u2018\u201cAs much as legislators and foun- dere of states ought to be honored and respected among men, as much ought the founders of sects and factions then be detested and hated, because the intlu- ence of faction is directly contrary to that of lawa.Factions subvert governments, render laws impotent, and beget the fiercest animosities among men of the same nation, who ought to give mutual assistance and protection to each other.\u2019 JAMAICA EARTHQUAKE COURT DECIDES IN FAVOR Of THE INSURANCE COMPANIES.\u2014 London, May 20.\u2014The question whether the fire which practically destroyed the city of Kingston, Jamaica, in January of 1907, broke out before or after the earthquake, was decided in the King's Bench Division to-day in favor of the insurance companies interested in the losses incurred.The insurance companies claimed that the earthquake caused the fires and that, consequently, they were protected under the earthquake clauses in their policies.The present case, which was brought by a Manchester firm against the London & Lancashire Company, has occupied the attention of the court for the best part of a month.Many witnesses were brought from Jamaica and leading counsel were engaged on both sides.ROSE COMMITTED FOUR CHARGES OF ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE, Toronto, May 20.\u2014The preliminary investigation into the four charges ot robbery with violence against Alexander Rose, Isabella street, was proceeded with\u2019 before Magistrate Denison in the Police Court this morning.Rose was commit- ted-for trial on four charges of assault committed on three women and one man.They all identified him as the man who attacked them.ONTARIO ELECTIONS Toronto, May 20.\u2014West Toronto is to have an Independent Liberal candidate in the person of Dr.Hunter.The doctor will run in class \u2018A.\u2019 At the Liberal convention, held last Friday night, in Brockton Hall, \u2018My platform will be based on the abolition of the bar, the reform of our educational system, public ownership, the removal of the civil service from party politics, and a liberal colonization policy for New Un- kario,\u201d said Dr.Hunter.hp À x \\ SE a A \u2014 \u2014_ ro BEING OBSERVED AS VICTORIA DAY.THE ITALIAN WAREHOUSE WILL BE CLGSED Orders, small or large, filled on shortest notice for , FISHINC PARTIES BOATING PARTIES MOTORING PARTIES, EXCURSIONS, PICNICS, Ete.Everything fresh and of the very test quality in the way of Groceries and Provisions, Fruits, etc., etc.FILLING HAMPERS A SPECIALTY.100 CHOICE COOK:D HAMS Specially cured and boiled for our Holiday demands.Fraser's &pecial Conked Hams are the very best cured in Canada, and as sweet as a nut.Price, duc per 1b.by the whole or half ham;

Saturday last,when I had been requect- ed to be the candidate of the Conservative party by the leader of the party, the Ton.P.E.Leblanc.I had agreed to accept such candidature, reserving to myself absolute freedom of action on any matter or question that might come up, affecting the City of Montreal or Province.For good and sufficient reasons,] have felt myself compelled to decline to be the regular Conservative nominee, tut I intend to accept the requisition offered me so freely and voluntarily by the electors of the division, and I am now in the fleld as a Conservative, thoroughly independent, ab- polutely untrammelled by any party ties.If there is a single elector in the division who has signed my papers under the impression that I was tagbe purely and simply the party candidate, and is dissatisfied with the course I am now taking, who is desirous of withdrawing his name from my requisition, I will without hesitation strike same off from the list, as I would be the last to accept any favor under \u2018false pretences.\u2019 In taking the stand I am now doing, T wish to make myself perfectly clear before the voters of St.Lawrence, and while, no doubt, I may have occasion to express my views on different questions to the clector: of the division through the daily press of the city, from day to day, there are :ust one or two points that I wish to emphasize now.A life-long Conservative, as far as federal politics are concerned, I bave never been A political partisan, and have not hesitated when occasion arose to vote against my party, or the party's candidate when I considered the measvre in question was against the right, cr the man up for election was tn my opinion \u2018not the man for Galway.\u2019 As far as the Legislature of Quebec is concerned, I believe it should not be a question so much of party as of men, and that everything should be looked at from the point of view of what is best for this city and the province as a whole by whoever it may be introduced.In my opinion, the interests of the citizens of Montreal are more vitally affected by what goes on at Quebec than in what goes on at Ottawa, and\u2019 the way this city is and has been plundered in more ways than one, in its civic administration.has been helped along by designing men in the Leg- Islature at Quebec.Were I to consult my own ease and comfort.I would be

2I.\u2014The most brilliant social event of the season in the Capital, the State Ball, given by their Ex- cellenies the Governor-General and Countess Grey, at Rideau Hall, took place last night.Although late in the season for such an event, the smart set.of the Capital turned out in large numbers to honor the occasion.Carriage after carriage rolled up to the flower bedecked walks until long past midnight.A noticeable feature of this function was the absence of prominent Montrealers and \u2018Torontonians, who generally come in parties to grace the occasion.Principal and Mrs.Peterson, and Mr.and Mrs.Robert Meighen, of Montreal, travelled by private car for the event and returned home to-day.The French Consul.Monsieur De Loynes, with Mrs.and Miss De Loynes, and the Vice-Consul, from Montreal, were present in their picturesque uniforms.The military element of the Capital, in scarlet and gold, with fair matrons and maids, promenading and dancing in the historic white and gold ball room, was a memorable sight.The state lancers took place at halt- past ten o'clock, the set of honor being made up of His Excellency and Lady Laurier, the Hon.W.3.Fielding and Lady Grey, the Hon.G.I>.Graham and Lady Sybil Grey, the Hon.W.Kingsley and Mrs.Frank liver, Mrs.Lake and General Otter, Mrs.Sutherland, wife of the Speaker of the House of Commons, and Senator Caegramn: the Speaker and Mrs.George P.Graham, wife of the Minister of Railways and Canals.The ball, one of the most successful in years, broke up at three o\u2019clock.The arrangements for the ball were under Her Excellency's own supervision, even to the refreshments, which were all prepared by expert chefs at Rideau Hall; and the large pavilion crected for the occasion was decorated most effectively der her direction.Her Excellency wore a clinging robe of heavily embroidered ninon de sole, and a tiara and rope of diamonds.Lady Sybil Grey wore an elegant costume of grey silk and lace, her cousin, Lady Mary Parker, being in black filet net over silk.Miss Gwladys Hanbury-Williams, who was one of the most admired guests at the ball, was beautifully gowned In pale blue liberty satin.SHIPPING NEWS.2)

question, he said, was a most important one in Canada, seeing that: probably quite three-quarters of the population derived their domestic drinking supply from wells.\u2018Why is it,\u201d said Mr.McGill, \u2018that the question of the safety and purity of well water is never raised\u2014I mean, of course, as a question of national importance?Is it that wells are less likely to be dangerously polluted ,than lakes and rivers?The reverse.is the case.To say that a periodical examination of the well, together with a full chemical and bacteriological analysis of the water would serve to determine the purity or otherwise of the supply, was the Inland Revenue Department, gave his ward, caused by the fact that the not really helpful in any extended sense.pT oy The cost of such examindion was prohibitive.The only effective plan was ta devise some simple way of detecting impurity or of drawing suspicion to suspicious character, such as shall justify the detailed examination

been analyzed at the laboratories of the Experimental Farm, of which 23 were condemned.He took the ground that complete chemical analysis was necessary.After a brief discussion, a vote of thanks as passed to Mr.McGill for his instructive address, which was illustrated with limelight diagrams.Trunks and Valises.| J- tea Ne babi Le etats a DAL Ae Aa, Ba erg pier.Sl DN oi GE Pp EER LT RE ee a Sh

STUDYING THE TURBINERS.\u2014 Sir Thomas Shaughnessy to Try a Voyage on the Allan Liner Virginian.KEPORTED TO HAVE HAD SATISFACTORY INTERVIEW WITH BRITISH CABINET OVER ALL-RED ROUTE.The announcement that Sir Thomas Shaughnessy will sail to-morrow on the Allan liner \u2018Virginian,\u2019 on his return to this country, is looked on as having particular significance just at this time, when the C.P.R.is on the eve of a new epoch of development in connection with its Atlantic shipping business.Sir Thomas went over to England ostensibly with the object of taking a little holiday, and the way in which he \u2014 SIR THOMAS SHAUGHNESSY.has been spending his time would seem to indicate that he has turned his hol- day to very good: account.As a matter of fact, he has been cultivating the acquaintance of British parhamentarians, under the able guidance of his old friend, Mr.T.P.O'Connor, M.P., who was Sir \u2018Thomas's guest in Canada fast year.The president of the C, P.R.has lost no opportunity of pushing forward his company\u2019s claims to consideration ia any scheme for perfecting a fast all-red route between England and the Antipodes via Canada, and as a result of his interview with the British Cabinet on Tugsday last it is expected that he will have some important announcements to make dn his return.For some time past the executive of the C.P.R.has had in hand the project of equipping both its Atlantic and its Pacific fleets with larger and faster vessels than any which have ever run to Canadian ports.The development that has been talked of 1s to place the \u2018Empresses\u2019 on the Pacific, and to buikl.two or even four vessels equal to anything running into New York for the Atlantie business.Decision in the matter.however, has been delayed because of uncertainty as to what action the British Government was prepared to take in the matter of subsidy.and also in regard to the Bluck- sod Bay project.Sir Thomas has always maintained that the great difficulty of making d fast all-red routs successful is the question as to whether it is commercially practicable.He is said to have declared to the British Government in the most emphatic terms that the C.P.R.would make such a project commercially successful pointing out that the C.I.IN, with its thirteen thousand miles of rai way, is a unique traffic producer, and could bring to such a line of fast steamships traffic that could be gained by no other means.Me has, moreover, made a strong point of the fact that the C.P.R.already has an all-red route in operation.and therefore as the pioneer of this difficult enterprise, is entitled to first consideration.Te also made the announcement that whatever the DBrit- ish Government considered was necessary in the matter of equipment either an land or sea, the C.P.R.was prepared to provide, subject of course to a satis- factorv agreement as to subsidy.It is probable that no decision will be come to in the matter for some time vet.but the prospects are considered excellent for the fast all-red scheme being D vaoped in conjunction with the C.Meanwhile Sir Thomas\u2019s voyage on the \u2018Virginian\u2019 seems to indicate that in view of the ships which the comnany js ahout to order.he is makino a study of the turbine principle.and the anestion na to whether tho new liners will he tur- hiners or not will probably depend to a large extent on the experiences of Sir Thomas on his nresent trin.It js understood that Sir Thomas has rome to a satisfactory arrangement with tha Pritish Government wherehv the Rritish mils ta tha Tar Fact will con.tinne to be carried over the C.P.R.rystem.POSTAL NOTICE.Next Monday, May £5 1908, being \u2018Victoria Day,\u2019 will be observed as a holiday at the Montreal Post-office.The outgoing afternoon mails will be closed at 10 a.m., and night mails at usual hours.A mail for Great Britain and Europe, for despatch by the N.G.Lloyd line, SS.\u2018Kaiser Wilhelm II.\u2019 will be closed at 9.30 am, while a supplementary mail for the same steamer will be closed at 6 p.m.The wickets of this office and the receiving houses will be closed at 10 a.m.The lobby will |.be open from 7 a.m.until midnight.A GREAT DISPLAY CG 10th Hussars;
