IORSES KILLED BY LIGHTNING.Two horses, the property of Mr.Filia- trault, farmer, were killed by lightning yesterday in a field at St.Rose, MONTREAL, WEDNE CATHOLIC SCHOOL BOARD.Received Delegation Asking for New English School in North End.+\u2014 DATES FIXED FOR CLOSING THE PRINCIPAL CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.Last night's meeting of the Roman Catholic School! Commissioners was oue.of the most interesting of the season, owing to the important points raised i connection with the visit of a delega: tip from the parish of St.Agnes.At the opening of the meeting, regarding the suggestion made by Ald.fect that all the outside school districts ought to be annexed to the Catholic School Board, and he gave notice of motion to exclude newspaper men from the reporter instead.The delegation from the parish of St.Agnes, composed of about twenty heads of families of the parish of St.Agnes, besides the Rev.Father Casey, pastor, and Ald.Proulx, of St.Jean Baptiste Ward, were then introduced, the object of their visit being to press a demand for the English-speaking children of the parish.Father Casey said there were about five hundred children belonging to the parish who were scattered in various schools of the city.Some were obliged to attend the schools outside the jurisdiction of the board, others attended the board schools, but scarcely received the training they needed, while several had to depend on the Protestant schools for their education.His suggestion was that all these children be gathered into twe schools, one for boys and another for girls, both under the jurisdiction of the Catholic Board.A site could be secured on Drolet street, in rear of the parish church, for some $15,000, and the building would cost about $30,000.Ald.Proulx strongly supported this demand, and Mr.J.Eston, one of the delegates, declared that it was 1mpos- sible under the present state of affaire to give their children a proper eduva- tion.\u2018Give us a school,\u201d he said, \u2018and our children will readily go to it.Give the Irish young people a chance to develop themselves, and you will see they will hold their own in every walk of life.Mr.Justice Lafontaine a constitutional obstacle way of realizing at once manded by the delegates.Many of the parishioners of St.Agnes resided in the school district of St.Jean Baptiste, and th: board, according to the regulations, had no right to use the funds placed at its disposal to pay for the education of those who did not live within its jurisdiction, and who consequently did not contribute any taxes towards the support of the board schools.Besides, would the St.Jean Baptiste board consent to lose a portion of its school tax?Before any definite arrangement could be arrived at, it would be necessary for the parishioners to separate from the school board of the outside district and pay in their contributions to the Catholic School Board of Montreal.This would have to be effected by a petition to the legislature.with the sanction of the school board from which they would separate.Mr.Justice Lafontaine also comment- el on the fact that so far the board had done little to aseume under its direct control the education of girls.He also dwelt on the views of the people in general, which led them to readily contribute large sums for the erection of churches, whereas\u2019 they were parsimonious in respect to their givings to education.It was all very well to build fine churches, but on the other hand education ought not to he neclected.Continuing, Judge Lafontaine observ- edd that in realization of the importance of education, Protestants were contemplating increasing the school tax.There waz no doubt that this board would have to follow suit sooner or later.This remark caused Ald.Lapointe to observe that the Catholic School Board ought to take the lead instead of copying what others did in educational matters.It was decided to refer the matter to three committees of the board, with instructions to report as early as possible.The closing of the schools was fixed for the following dates in June: Montcalm School, 19th: Sarsfield, 20th; Belmont School, 20th: Commercial Academy 20th; Olier School, 22nd: Edward Murphy School, 23rd; Champlain School, 23rd.remarked that stood in the what was de- - \u2014\u2014 BABIES\u2019 SILK HATS FOUND.Two boxes, each containing half \u2018a dozen children\u2019s silk hats, have been found outside the residence of Mr.Trem- Flay, deputy chief of the fire brigade, on Brunswick street.It is thought \u2018the boxes fell off an express Waggon, and as there is nothing to indicate to whom they belong, Mr.Tremblay is keeping them in his possession until the proprietor snal!

Evangelist, on Ontario street, corner of St.Urbain, was struck by lightning and the roof caught fire.Members of the fire brigade were ca%ed fore the damage had extended further than the roof.The ferry boat \u2018St.Laurent,\u201d on the St.Helen's Island service, was also struck by lightning about the sama time, and part of the mast was burned.At Beaconsfield, lightning set fire to

the destruction of the house will be a great inconvenience to Mr.Locker, who had intended to go out to reside at Beaconsfield this week.The church at Pointe Claire was alsd struck, but fortunately the

Wellington, N.Z., May 27\u2014 Premier Ward, speaking at Eltham, l'aranaki, today, adverted to the idea of a white New Zealand, and said that New Zea- Jand did not intend to interfere with British politics, but he thought the colonies were within their rights an agking for a preference.They should not be called upon to compete against Denmark, the United States and Argentina, which bad built up high protective walls.He was sorry to notice that Canada had concluded a commercial treaty with France.When other colonies made such arrangements with foreign countries it would be the beginning of the overthrow of the commercial supremacy of the Empire.TR NE JE ./ THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS THE PROVINCIAL CAMPAIGN.MR.GOUIN'S GOOD START.Addressed Over 5,000 Electors of St.James at an Open Air Meeting Last Night.COMMITTEE ROOMS WERE CROWDED, SO PLATFORM HAD TO BE ERECTED OUTSIDE.\u2014 An open air political meeting, inaugurated the Hon.lomer Gouin\u2019s candi aature in St.James Division last night, when he addressed a crowd of five thousand persons at the corner of St.Catherine street east and Montcalm street.The occasion was the opening of his central committee rooms, but he had scarcely commenced to speak in them, \u2018when the crowd clamoring for admission became so insistent that, at the request of Mr.Honore Gervais, federal member for St.James, he agreed to.speak to the electors outside in Montcalm street.À platform was improvised near the corner of St.Catherine street east.The Premier\u2019s opening words were spoken in darkness, but a temporary electric lamp wag soon rigged up.The Prime Minister, who was received with unbounded enthusiasm, and was promised by Mr.Brissette, secretary of.the Papineau Club, the support of the Liberals of St.James, reminded his audience that he spoke on what was for bim a notable anniversary.Exactly eleven years before he appealed for the suffrages of the electors of St.James, and was elected as a supporter of Mr.Marchand, against a candidate so iniu- ential as Mr.Angers.Since then the electors of that division had elected him by acclamation, except in 1905; when he beat his opponent by three thousand votes.In 1897 his majority was one thousand votes.It had done nothing but increase ever since, and he had confidence that if he was opposed he would this time have a majority of at least five thousand votes, and that hie opponent would have to contribut: two hundred dollars to the provincial treasury.The Premier had to shorten his address in orde- to catch a train for Quebec, but before leaving, hq recapitulated the achievements of the mnunistry, and said that in spite of Mr.Cousineau, the Conservative aspirant for parliamentary honors in Jacques Cartier, they would continue to spend money on education.The Hon.Charles Devlin spoke after the Premier\u2019s departure.remarking that though their opponents had many criticisms to offer, they did not know where to find the remedies.Before leaving the city the Premier \u2018looked In at Dr.Lacombe\u2019s committee rcoms, and spoke warmly in favor of his \u2018candidature in St.Marie.LE A Group of Customs Officials | 3 Tide Surveyors and Tide Waiters of the

Payette\u2019s withdrawal from the contest in Hochelaga, where he had accepted candidature as a Liberal in opposition to Mr.Jeremie Decarie, was made last evening at a meeting in St.Jean Baptiste market.Mr.Edouard Latreille presided, and Mr.Payette was not present.Mr.Wilfrid Lalonde read two letters, one addressed by the Hon.Lomer Gouin to the Mayor, and the other addressed by Mr.Payette to the friends who had offered to support his candidature.In his letter the Premier expressed the hope that Mayor Payette would sacrifice his legitimate personal ambition to the interest of the party, and not divide the Liberal forces in Hochelaga.If the county was not yet divided into electoral divisions Mr.Decarie was not to blame for that, for he had worked energetically to that end.The division would be effected next session, and Mr.Payette could then become a candidate for one of the seats.The Mayor's letter to his friends declared that since the Premier asked him to retire he had no power to accept the candidature.He expressed his regret, and thanked those who had spontaneous ly offered him support.After reading the letters Mr.Lalonde added that Mr.Payette\u2019s organization committee would shortly publish all the facts relative to his candidature.guet MR.LANGLOIS\u2019S RECORD WHY HIS SUPPORTERS ARE CONFIDENT OF HIS RE-ELEC- TION.Mr.Godfroy Langlois\u2019s supporters in St.Louis ward are far from dismayed by the threatened opposition to the ot- ficial Liberal candidate, and they point to his record during the last four years, as showing that the constituency would be flving in the face of its own interests if it elected anyone else.Their view is that Mr.Langlois\u2019s staunch service deserves the reward of continued confidence, not, only because he has been loyal to his ders, but because he has been prominent as an advocate of reform\u2014particularly educational reform\u2014and progress in the Legislative Assemblv.They call attention to the fact that Mr.Langlois has fought in parliament and outside of parliament for an eleec- tive school board in Montreal, for uni- formitv of text-books, for a better service of school inspection, and for increased salaries to the teachers.Before he was a member of parliament, and since, he has carried on a persistent and courageous crusade in faver of raising the level of edusation in the province, and he has succeeded in re publie epinion on that ques- Lion., Going over Mr.Langlois's record, his } supporters point to his attitude towards prison reform, infantile mortality and state insurance, as evidence that his mind has grasped important problems, and that he has given public questions proper attention and serious study.Under the present prison system prisoners pass their term in idleness, and Mr.Langlois claims that they ought to be forced to work, not only because their earnings would serve to reimburse the government for their maintenance, but also because labor would have a salutary moral effect.His et- forts have also been directed to making the laws of hygiene better known, with a view to reducing the enormous mortality among voung children, which 14 especially.high in the summer months.It was Mr.langlois who brought the question of state insurance before the Legislative Assembly, and he claims that if there is one province where 1t ought to be studied it is Quebec, for out of 36 insurance companies doing business here, 32 bave their head othces outside the province.When the Montreal Lignt, Heat and Power Co.had the Legislative Council at its service, with certain amendments to the Montreal bills.thrce years ago, it was the member for St.Lows divi sion who proposed that the Lower House should not concur in these amendments.The result was a deadlock between the two Houses, and the amendments were not carried.Mr.Langlois also was the man who did most of the work to 1m- press the government and the Legislative Assembly with the need of a special law to prevent the creation of monopolies by municipal councils without the sanction of the people.'lhe result of his work was the famous reteren- dum law that killed the l\u2019ayette-Gir- oux scheme.It is the memory of these and sim: Jar efforts in the public service that makes Mr.Langlois\u2019s supporters conti- dent of his re-election by a large majority.They feel that they can hold up his record to the public scrutiny, ard challenge anyone to find a Haw in it.PONTIAC LIBERALS CHOICE.Owing to the withdrawal of the Hon.Chas.Devlin, another Liberal convention was necessary in Pontiac.lt was held at Campbell s Bay, yesterday, under the presidency of Mr.B.J.Slean, president of the Liberal Association ot the county.The delegates were unanimous in favor of the candidature of Dr.71.C.Gaboury, and their choice was endorse.by the government, in a letter from Mr.Devlin.Dr.Gaboury has been a resident in the county for 35 years.In 1896 he was a candidate against Mr.W.Poupore, but was defeated by a small majority.MR.DECARIE IN VILLE ST.LOUIS.Mr.J.L.Decarie, Liberal candidate fc.Hochelaga, will hold & meeting In the town hall of Ville St.Louis this evening, when Messrs.J.1\u2019.B.Casgrain, C.Messier,

but St.Louis could not control the situation at any time, and he did not see how an arrangement could be made that would be binding.Me was in favor of a loan because the proprictors were suffering through the delay in the execution of the necessary public works.Councillor Jubinville su ed that be prepar- two separate by-laws shoul ed, a loan by-law and an annexation by- aw, Mr.Paquette\u2014The Montreal City Council may consider the question at leisure, but the people of St.Louib want these public works and they are in a hurry.Mr.C.Beaubien remarked that the Council of St.Louis was now in the same position as they were two Weeks ago.They had made no progress.He thought that if it was possible to come to an arrangement it should be done.Mr.Bisaillon suggested that two bylaws be prepared, one for annexation and one for a loan.The most important thing at present was, not annexation but a loan, go that they might have the means to carry on public works.A loan by-law should be prepared immediately and referred to the proprietors for their approval.Mr.Lavigne said he was in favor of accepting the offer of the City of Montreal, by which $240,000 would be spent for public works in St.Louis during the year 1908, which was $40,000 more than they would have at their disposal for the Fame purpase if they passed the loan by-law by which they proposed to borrow $625,000.And moreover, if they accepted the offer of the city the tax- pavers of St.Louis would be relieved of the special annual tax of $37,000, to be levied for the sinking fund to redeem these bonds in forty years.Mr.T.Bastien thought that if they waited for Montreal to make the necessary improvements they would have to wait a long time.The Mayor having called upon the delegates in favor of annexation to express their views, Mr.H.Blachford said he was in favor of annexation, as were also other delegates who were present.Mr.Dazé did not know how the $240,- 000 which the City of Montreal proposed to spend in Bt.Louis would be em- ploved, nor who would have the handling of the money.He would prefer to have the loan by-law passed immediately and the construction of sidewalks commenced without delay.Me called vpon the councillors to pass the loan by-law.Mr.Neville said 1t had heen vary justly observed by Mr.Lavigne that tliere were some persons in St.Lonis who would not be aunexed under any eiretmmn- stances or for any consideration.The city had offered to assume thuir labili- tier and pay the floating debt of 33835,000, besides spending $240,000 on mermanrnt works in 1908, and $60,000 during the next year; and yet those who opposed Py annexation were not satisfied although | the Council of St.Louis did not ask for more than Montreal had offered.Those who opposed annexation want to borrow $625,000.The council bad not the power to pass.the by-law which they wanted to have passed.Mr.Paquette had gone so far as to express his want of confidence in the City Council.Why should he say he had no confidence in the City Council ?What have they done to justify such an expression on his part ?They have treated the Council of St.louis with consideration and respect, and such an expression is unwarranted.He did not think it was fair to tax the representatives of Montreal with the possibility of a breach of contract.After making all deductions, the proposed by-law only provided $200,000 for public works, and Montreal is willing to spend $240,000 in 1908, that is, immediately for the same purpuse, and yet this ofter is rejected on the pretext that the work would be delayed.He understood that a by-law for a loan of $625,000 would be submitted to the proprietors immediately.He did not blame Montreal for refusing to accept the conditions offered.Montreal can borrow at four percent, while they in St.Louis have to pay four and a half percent.Councillor Martel had no confidence in the Council of Montreal\u2014not because of any suspicion of dishonesty, but because he knew they would not spend their money in St.Louis.Councillor Gauthier was in faver of annexation, because they would get more for public works by annexation than could be had out of this proposed loan.Councillor Desjardins favored the immediate adoption of the loan by-law; annexation could wait.Councillor Berubé believed that annexation to Montreal would be the best course to adopt.They would have $240,000 for public works immediately, which was exactly what they wanted.Ât present they had po money to make \u201che |\u2018 necessary repairs to the streets or sidewalks.He weuld favor a by-law for annexation to Montreal.Councillor Grignon compared the district within the limits of Montreal, contiguous to the ward he represented, which be said was in a neglected condition.There were many complaints frem the residents, and delegations were sent weekly to the City Council.He would vote for a loan by-law and would prefer that they should do thefr own public works.Montreal had offered to spend $240,000 in 1908, but only $60,000 in the vear following, which was not enough.Councillor Godon would vote for a loan by-law.Councillor Jubinville said there were three parties, one favored a loan, another annexation, and a third party who wanted an amicable arrangement.The majority of the council wanted a lcan of $625,000, with annexation in two years\u2019 time.If Montreal had confidence in the Council of St.Louis they would not have refused to put this money in their hands: but they have no confidence in the Council of St.Louis.St.Louis was not the only town which had had lawsuits with contractors.For inetance, Rape \u2014 \u2014 Maisonneuve, St.Herri and Ste.Cune- gonde, and others besides.As to the offer to spend only $60,000 in 1909, he asked what could they do with so small an amount as that?Mr.C.Beaubien theh addressed the meeting.He said the proprietors were willing to authorize a Joan, but only on one condition, which was that annexation must take place.Mr.Bisaillon asked Mr.Beaubien the following question: \u2018If the majority of the council bind themselves to accent annexation will the proprietors authorize a loan?Mr.Beaubien replied that some guarantee would be required.Mr.Martel\u2014If we bound ourselves to support an annexation by-law, would that be sufficient?Mr.Beaubien said it would not.A great many things might happen in the mterval.It would be necessary that the council give a sufficient guarantee.A delegate\u2014But if Montreal will not annex you, what will you do?Mr.Bisaillon\u2014Apply to Outremont ! (Laughter.) Mr.Beaubien\u2014In that case there would be no ratification of the loan by-law.No annexation, no loan.It was then decided to leave the miat- ter in the hands of Messrs.Bisaillon and C.Beaubien, who are to draw up an agreement under which the council will accept annexation in return for the ratification of the loan by-law by the proprietors, the form in which the gnaran- tee is to be given being left to the law- vérs to decide upon.The council then granted the petition of the Shamrock Athletic Association for an extension of the tax exemptiog to twenty years on their lacrosse grounds.ALMOST A TRAGEDY GIRL ATTEMPTS TO SHOOT A YOUNG MAN IN CHURCH.Kingston, May 26.\u2014The little Methodist Chureh in Cataraqui was the scene of an attempt by a young woman, twenty-two vears of age, to shoot a young man of the same age.While the congregation were at prayer the girl got up from her seat and moved across to the pew behind the young man, and, quickly pulling a revolver from the folds of her dress, placed the muzzle behind his ear and pulled the trigger.The revolver contained three cartridges and three empty chambers.Fortunately, the trigger hit an empty chamber.The youth heard the click of the revolver, and, turning quickly, took it away from the woman.The woman.whose name is Suddér, will be examined as to her mental condition.KILLED BY FALLING TREK.Cobalt, Cnt.May 26.\u2014Charlie

the \u2018World's Work\u2019 for May about the \u2018Things that Germany can teach us\u2019 The elimination of ugliness, as we have gaid many times, is one of those things.Thus street advertising is almost entirely confined to pillars at street corners, ond offensive advertisements are classed with offensive gmells.There are no hoardings to mark the litter of vacant lots, to harbor crim- jnals and refuse, to communicate fire, to cheapen and disfigure a beautiful thoroughfare.Even lights are regulated, and Mr.Shauffler says that among all the German cities Hamburg is the oniy one whose evening beauty he has seen marred by the luminous sign.In Berlin, even the stations of the elevated railway have been designed with an eye to beauty and the character of the streets.The less sightly parts are hidden by rows of trees, and the posts and girders are gracefully designed.But encugh.Such reading as this must make * all our worthy citizens unhappy longing for the desirable things that seem so far away in the future.The question arises whether we are civilized yet.The same longing will beset them as they learn that garbage and ashes are removed from German houses in closed bins, and, by an ingenious mechanism, dumped into specially-const ructed waggons without exposing their contents to the air, thus doing _entirely away with dust and odors.Mr.Shauffler reminds us that the mendicancy problem is one which the German has solved.I have never seen a beggar, he savs, in any German town except Cologne\u2014a western city, touched by French influence\u2014and every street in the Prussian capital is as safe as Unter den Linden.The German is not willing that his ear should suffer any more than his eye or his nostrils.He is absolutely intolerant of unnecessary noise, for he wants to keep his nervous system normal.The discordant cry of the newsboy, the over-exuberant solo on the tramcar gong, the whine of the beggar, Bhe eloquence of the cab-runner\u2014all these are conspicuously absent.In point of fact, the law even forbids you to warble Schubert or whistle Brahms on the public ways.The writer thinks that that this is going to radical lengths in Passengers are warned by posters in the cars to be careful in getting on and off, vet everybody who moves with more or less difficulty finds that when he performs either act alone, the bell to start the motor sounds almost invariably as he puts his first foot on the step in the one case, and before he has his foot on the ground in the other.Such mad haste is really not wholesome.It belongs to our fussiness developed in the general rush of cities.The ancient admonition, hasten slowly, would, if cbserved, induce more serenity of deportment in public and save time, temper and life iteelf.The time will come when our long runs will be made overhead, or under ground, and we shall be able to put the breaks on surface traffic.The fact that gold exports from the United States have been resumed on a somewhat extensive scale, and that there are a larger number of idle cars on the railways of the cou.try than ever before\u2014over 400,000, it is said\u2014has given cause for continued fear on the part of the pessimists and doubters as to the future outlook of the stcek market, but there are several elements in the financial and commercial situation of the Republic which are considered by the optimists to more than offset these \u2018che- couraging factors.Among these are ¢ited | the recent confident expressions for the future of leading financiers, railway magnates, representative business men and manufacturers all over the country.The demand from investors for railway and ctler gilt-edged bonds the unprecedented supply of money in the banks, and the ease in rates for loanable funds the endeavors on the part of business interests to bring about a return to prosperous conditions, are all quoted as warrant for expecting good future stock market conditions.Considering that Wall Street has enjoved a practically uninterrupted rize since early in the year, and that current prices show considerable profits to those who purchased stocks at the however, only reason- low levels, it is, : ss reactions able to expect greater OT le from time to time.EE A FAR-REACHING STEP.The Scottish Home Rule bill, though introduced by a private member, would seem to have the sanction of the Asquith ; t, sceing that it was promiee Dundes by Mr.Winston Churchill, who alsc promised home rule for Ireland at Manchester, with the knowledge and approval of his colleagues.It is not likely that Scotland will get home rule at \u2018the first go off, after Ireland has fought so leng and strenuously for it ; but we should not be surprised if in Scottish home rule was found the solution of the Irish question, as it has at all times seemed to us that the only logical and even tolerable solution of the Irish question would be found in the introduction of a federal svstem into the United Kingdom.There {are many objections to a federal system, as the United States, which is a combination of sovereign states, has found, amd as Canada has found, in which the residuary powers are vested in parliament rather than in the provinces.In beth cases there have been ceaseless cb- struction to legislation by questions as te jurisdiction.In both cases there is the bondage of a paper constitution hampering evolution, while the glorious British constitution goes freely on from precedent to precedent, expressing the untrammelled will of the people.Besides these evils inherent in all federations, there is a peculiar difficulty about federalizing the United Kingdom in the very great disproportion between the members of it, England being out of all reason too big and Wales, if counted one, too small, to say nothing of Man.\" Still, a federal system of some sort has long been the ideal of many leading men, end particularly of some of the men who form the present government.Apart t designed: THE | from local jealousies it can be denied by none that parliament is more ard more congested with small local matters that could better be dealt with by local legislatures.Devolution has long beëÿn a Liberal watchword.That has meant pri- manly the development of county council government, which has practically come into being during the past generation, and which has done a great deal towards lightening the ever-increasing burdens of parliament.But the late Sir Henry Campbell-Bannérman, who was a Scotchman, is believed to.have been distinctly an- advocate of devolving local govern: ment on Scotland as well as on Ireland.Mr.\u2018John Burns, another Scotchman, bas been an advocate of the same idea.So has Mr.Asquith himself, in an academic way, while Mr.Lloyd George has advocated home rule for Wales.The idea of a general federation, which would necessarily he wrapped up in any scheme for Scottish home rule, would \u2018remove so much of the theoretic objection to giving home rule to Ireland alone that it would likely win very many to that cause, case is a great problem.From a parliamentary point of view, it, more than a-y of the others, needs the relief of local government.Should it have \u2018one government, or, to be in some kind of proportion to the other kingdoms, should it resolve itself again into a hep- tarchy?English people talk famgliarly tof the provinces, meaning all parts of\u2019 England out of London and the \u2018Home\u2019 Counties\u2019 to the south of the big .city, but what the bounds of such provinces are would probably puzzle most, if not all, Englishmen.They might perhaps with advantage come into being, but that, it can hardly be denied, would be an un-English way of doing; so that, should there be a local English parliament, it would probably be for the whole kingdom.Should the Imperial parliament devolve local government on local parliaments, the way would be in some.slight degree prepared for the reception of the representatives of Greater L.itain at Westminster, where imperial affairs would form more largely the staple business, but that again would involve endless difficulties.There are is mow the Urited Kingdom in which and interests from the colonies\u2014the British taritf, for instance.Moteover, the oversea dominions are already federations, or are soon to be, which involves another complication.The British are never in a hurry to change their ways.No one contemplates a brand new reconstruction of the empire.Every change that comes must come by gentle steps, but this Scottish home rule till would seem to foreshadow a very valuable step in what would appear to be an unavoidable direction.pres THE ENTENTE AND ALLIANCES.Rudyard Kipling bade his countrymen beware of Adam-Zad, \u2018the bear that walks like a man,\u201d and as an old Anglo Indian his suspicion if not fear of Russia is easily understood, for it bas long been an article of faith with all such \u2018worthy of the name\u2019 that the Bear is only waiting an opportune time to throw her forces across the more or deadly struggle for the conquest of our Indian dominions.For much more than half a century British foreign policy has been influenced by distrust of Russia.Lord Beaconstield was bitten any other British statesman, and because of his intervention, after the defeat of the Turks at the battle of Plevna.the march of the Russians southward was arrested, and the \u2018l'reaty of Berlin continued for the time being the curse of Turkish rule in Europe.No treaty or understanding, of course, could be made with a country whose machiavelian purpose was adjudged perfidy.There is no doubt that the : well-known dream.of Peter the Great that Russia was bound to expand until.she became the controlling force in) the world, the dictator and arbitér in Furope as well as the East, has been an inspiring force with generations of Russians, and that the extension of the imperial boundaries has been continuous, as the phrase is, with glacier-like irresistibleness.Suspicinn with regard to a country's policy - is easily implanted and \u2018very difficult to eradicate, as \u2018 Perfidious AI- bion\u2019 has reason to know.All Britain\u2019s motives and actions were long suspected on the Continent of Kurope and in the United States, and whatever necessarv and inevitable thing she did overseas was invariably charged to deep designs.That day may be said to have passed so far as France is concerned.and all the Continental powers, outside.perhaps.of - Germany.And with the good

wise to enter into a hard and fast tifnle alliance or even an alliance with France, is quite a different matter.The \u2018Temps,\u2019 for instance, insists that Dreliminarv to such an al liance.the

27.\u2014After resting for four years less than a century in the Congressional cemetery in this city, the body of George Clinton, once major-gen- eral in the revolutionary army; first governor of the State of New York, and a.former vice-president of the United States, was to-day removed to Kingston, N.Y, for final interment.A guard of honor composed of regular troops and a special committee of

station by military, patriotic, civie, and commercial organizations, representatives of the State of New York, ind descendants of Governor Clinton.The re-interment will take place in Kingston on May

In the meantime, Joseph Lortie had charged him with stealing his money, and it was on this charge that he appeared before Judge Piché yesterday afternoon.His Honor gave Sangster a severe lecture for his fabulous story to the New York authorities about the murder, and remarked that \u2018he had also robbed the railway company of his fare\u2019 He was remanded for sentence.READABLE PARAGRAPHS VESTERDAY'S THUNDERSTORM.Fair typist \u2018Phones\u2019\u2014 A lightning flash!

an x QUEBEC METHODIST CONFERENCE.)\\ Greatest Interest Centres Around the ¢ Workman Case\u2019 and Stationing of Ministers.desired the reconstruction of the staff of it is further said that the resignation of Dr.Jackson is one of the fruits of their agitation.The importance of the matter in the mind of the high officials of the church may be judged from the fact that the Rev.Dr.Carman, general superintendent of the Methodist Church, Canada, has arranged to be present, and when this question comes before the deliberative body he will either preside or be near the president for advisory purposes, A SUPPLEMENTARY STATEMENT ISSUED.The Rev.Dr.Workman has just issued \u201c A Supplementary Statement,\u2019 prepared, as the title page declares, \u2018 for members of the Montreal Conference.\u2019 His reason, for doing so, are set forth in the opening sentences as follows: \u201cOn the evening of October 22nd, 1907, when the Governors of the Wesleyan Theological College met to consider the statement I had made at the meeting held the 17th of September, large portions of a long controversial paper were read to those present by the Rev.C.T.Scott, B.A.This paper was shortly afterwards published as a pamphlet, entitled a \u2018 Rejoinder, \u2019 and signed by C.T.Scott, WW.R.Young.and J.A.Mavety.As \" had not an opportunity to discus contents thoroughly at the ft not think that such a pape have been presented; b pamphlet, which \u2018has bee tributed, is very unfair t not allow it to go unansw much, too, as another unfa entitled \u2018 A Personal Vindir issued during the winter by of the College, I have deterr lish in comnact form a co to each of them.\u2019 He takes un systemat haustively the doctrinal - to be held by him and \u2019 been criticized, and

students in which they .essed their sympathy with Dr.Workm.af.A letter from Dr.Burwash comedlk next and in it the chancellor of Victorialstates that he has read Dr.Workman'gl¥ statement to the hoard of Governor of the Wesleyan College.and he apnffoves of several points of doctrine whichf are mentioned.In his concluding sentencesf Dr.Workman remarks: \u2018If my brethren will obsep-ve the character of the discriminations] make, thev will see that, in every parff, my teaching is in harmony with all evÆngelical standards.There is some divÆ&rgence of statement, of course, becaus@# historical exegesis requires it; but thefre is no rejection of vital doctrines, mugfh less repudiation of the facts on which such doctrines rest.I not onlv claim it i hold i Scripture in accor meaning.\u201cAs a Biblical fexegete, I am responsible for ling the doctrines of Christ in accordfance with a sound exegesis of Scripturg; and I have reverently the truth as it is in Jesus erence, which 18 the way New Testament writers dit.\u2019 THE REPLY _ to interpret ance with its historic have expres This circular having been distributed widely among the members of the Con- ferencæ'and its contents becoming known, through them.to the public; and in view gt e probability of the whole matter mgr laid before the Quebec Conference this/ week, the Rev.Dr.Shaw was seen in relation to Dr.Workman's new p phlet, which is a thirty page docu- ent.dismissal from the Wesleyan Theological several months.It is the opinion, however, of those who should be in a pogi- tion to know, that the matter will not be allowed to take up an undue proportion of the time of Conference seeing that this body cannot deal tinallg with the former professor's status apd no charge of heresy has been profen, or even laid against him.Tt will competent for Conference to appoint .Workman to take charge of a circuigthe same as any other minister in guud standing.Indeed, private communication from Que- hee would seem to indicate that the sta tinning committee is experiencing some ditticulty in disposing of him.It can do one of several things: It can designate him as a supernumerary or superannuated minister; it can leave him without a station \u2018at his own request.\u2019 or it can send him to some very insignificant charge, which he might not accept.The latter would not be without precedent.It is understood that Dr.Workman has not made any request to be left without a station.It 18 recognized that the influence of this case is far reaching and that the end is not vet.Both Dr.Workman and Principal Shaw have their friends and supporters, known in Methodist circles as liberal and conservative.It is hinted among Dr.Workman's friends that they College has been before the public for/ 7.\u201c What do you think of Dr.Workman\u2019s \u2018Supplementary Statement?\u2019 the Principal was asked.\u2018Well, it is very interesting, as I have counted in it forty-three errors in its at- i tacks upon me which it would take a | volume to correct.J have already issued one defence of myself in which T promised I would write no more.The unworthy, rgpeated but futile attempt to convict me of falsehood.will do far more harm to Dr.Workman than to me.especially as no one can see what connection these shameful personalities have with the complaint of our Governors as to his erroneous views.However, T can - .stand it supported by a clear conscience, :a Committee of Trial, the Court of Appeal, hosts of ministers and laymen, and the Board of Governors which has declared its confidence in my integrity and refused to accept my resignation.\u2019 \u2018 What do vou think of Dr.Burwash\u2019s letter in Dr.Workman\u2019s pamphlet?\u2019 \u2018It is certainly ill-timed.Seventeen vears ago the Regents of Victoria College removed Dr.Workman from their Theological Faculty for his views on Messianic Prophecy.Dr.Burwash opposed this action of his Board.Later he sought to reinstate Dr.Workman but again failed.and now for him at this critical june- ture to interfere with the administration of a sister college, will certainly be resented by many of our friends, especially as the points now at issue are not the CE sm, ge- ion ent us nly 108- de- of Îs- len ni- the oth lar- in ty, he- ced ust le- ely th- he as out her.SOLTY o al cause col rkman with his acknow- jas to suffer.Still he is not It without a living for while he remains a Methodist Minister he has a right to a astoral charge.Hosts of Conservative aymen, however, are complaining that he is not put out of the ministry, but that is a matter with which the College Board has nothing to do.It has the power of choice of Professors, but nothing to do with their ministerial standing.If this had been a case of immorality they would have expelled him from the College summarily, but they could not even then touch his ministerial standing which is solely under the control of ecclesiastical authorities.The City of Quebec, in which the 25th session of the Montreal Conference of the Methodist Church will open on Friday next, has been associated with the history of Canadian Methodism ever since the year 1806, when a buginnmg wag made by the Rev.Mr.Bangs, who visited it from the United States, and preached in an attic of the Freemason Hall.As a direct result of this preaching a society wae duly formed in the following year by the Rev.Samuel Coates, with Mr.John Shea as society steward, and Mr.P.Langlois.These organized what were known as band meetings for spiritual edification and public evangelization.By 1810 the membership had grown to 35, with the Rev.Joseph Mitchel as pastor, and Mr.P.Langlois as class leader.During the war with the United States and England, in 1812, through the church\u2019s ecclesiastical affiliation with American Methodism, the minister wus withdrawn.A lay preacher, Mr.Thos.Richards, then maintained the services until the arrival of the 103rd Regiment with whom was Sergt.Webster, an accredited loc:l preacher from British Methodism, who for some time shared with Mr.Richards in the conduct of divine worship, and ultimately assumed the entire charge.On the removal of the regiment to Upper Canada in 1813, the whole of the preaching and oversight devolved on Mr.Langlois, who was now licensed as a lay preacher.In 1814, at the earnest request of the congregation, Mr.John Shea personally represented to the British conference the necessity of providing for their pastoral needs, whereon the Rev.J.B.Strang, the first British Wesleyan minister, arrived.He was succeeded in 1814 by the Rev.Richard Williams, who instituted the first Sunday-school in the ¢ity, which has continued uninterruptedly since, resulting in the adoption of that ingtitntion by the other churches.The Rev.Mr.Williams's pastorate was also made significant by the construction of the first chanel in Ann street, now Tara Hall.The cost was $7,000.As indicative of the earnest zeal of those early Methodists was the organization in 1818 of a missionary society with a first year\u2019s income of $200.This department has been worthily sustained throughout, and is inseparably asdociate:l with the revered name of Mr.R.Middleton, who from 1853 until his death.at the nast of duty in 1874, discharged the secretarial werk, in addition to about twenty-five years\u2019 duty as Sunday-seXool superintendent.+ The practical phases of church f tions were not ignored by those devofed members who for many years sustaiifed a most persistent demand upon the CHURCH, QUEBEC.islature and also th2 British courts for the due and equal recognition of their minister in the celebration and registration of all acts of civil status, e.g., baptisms, burials and marriages.This resulted in His Majesty's assent being given on Nov.1, 1830, and the government proclamation issued on July 18 1831.extending to their ministers all privileges previously enjoyed exclusively by others.Through the vicissitudes of the cholera visitation in 1832 and 1834, and through the terrible fires of 1845, the Methodist Church continued to progress, and by 1849 it was able to open the present impressive and beautiful Gothic structure on St.Stanislas street, which has continued to be a general point of interest alike to the tourist as to the worshippers in its chaste design and massive ample proportion.The cost was about $60,000.On Nov.12.1905.with bright and appropriate services, the church was re-op- ened after undergoing renovation on a very elaborate and extensive scale.The interior of the church has been completely transformed and beautified.and the sacred edifice will now take rank as one of the handsomest and most p-r- fcetly equipped in the city, if not in the province.The cost of the alterations amounts to about $18,000.The present Board \"of Trustees is as follows: A.D.Webster.W.McWilliams, .T.H.Holt, Major Hetherington.J.H.Bottepell, John Shaw.Colonel Ray.Wm.Shaw.J.T.Dunlop, Frank Glass, Gordon™C.Ren- frew.R.Lindsay.T.W.Andrews, L.C.Webster and Captain Bartlett.NEW BRUNSWICK LEGISLATURE \u2014\u2014 Fredricton, N.B., May 26\u2014In the

The Paris \u2018 Temps\u2019 Considers the Time Ripe for an Alliance.\u2014\u2014\u2014 PROVIDED BRITISH ARMY IS REN: DERED MORE CAPABLE OF ACTION ON THE CONTINENT.26 \u2014The speeches exchang- Paris, May ie a - ed in London between President | lieres and King Edward have attracted much attention from the French press, and the \u2018Temps\u2019 this afternoon says 1t considers the time to be ripe for the substitution of an Anglo-French alliance 1n- stead of the present entente.provided that the British army be radically reorganized, in order to render it more ca pable of energetic action on the Continent; otherwise, the paper says, the benefits of the alliance would be one- sided and in favor of Great Britain, and consequently, inadvisable.The \u2018Temps\u2019 recognizes that the cordial relations between France and Great Britain.as manifested yesterday, are likely, in the event of a crisis, to breed identity of interests.but it thinks it dangerous to rely upon moral understandings.\u2018Forced to choose between Germany and Great Britain,\u201d the \u2018Temps\u2019 declares: \u2018France chooses Great Britain.We can with dignity live on correct terms with Germany, but the past forbids us going further.As for the future, Germany only wants what we cannot grant, name- lv, the admission of German funds to the Paris Bourse.On the other hand, the greatest objection to a British alh- ance has disappeared with the reconciliation of our ally, Russia, with Great Britain.\u2019 VISIT OF THE PRESIDENT.London, May 26.\u2014President Fallieres is proving a highly popular visitor.Huge crowds gather wherever there is a possibility of seeing him pass, and the cheers with which he 1s greeted are exceptionally lusty.At Buckingham Palace to-night a great state ball was given in honor of the distinguished visitor.This was the culminating feature of a busy day of entertainment spent by the King\u2019s guest.Everywhere the French president has gone he has been greeted with the greatest enthusiasm, and early in the evening immense crowds gathered about the various roval residences to witness the processions to the palace and to cheer him.The scene within the walls of Buckingham Palace was one of exceptional brilliance.The royal guests assembled in the throne room, and a fanfare of trumpets heralded their entrance into the ball room, which was superbly decorated with flowers.The King and Queen, accompanied by M.Fallieres, and the royal entourage, passed down the entire length of the room between rows of Fowing = guests.By the King's command the ladies\u2019 gowns were all of soft shades of color.most of them being fashioned after the Diree- toire and Empire periods.All of the and orders.London.Mav 27.\u2014The visit of M.Fallieres i=
