recover from, and, instead of being an improvement in the long run, it would be a perpetual damage.One says, \u2018 Why, \u201cwe might almost as well be on the side - \u201cof the canal, which it was at one time \u2018 proposed to run there, or of the line of \u2018the Grand Trunk, so completely would \u2018we be cut off from the business of the \u2018city bya wide impassable street.\u201d Whatever there may be in this, it is not likely that our city council, as it is, will ever accomplish so great a work.Still, some important methods of relieving traffic by opening wide slanting.bonlevards were repeatedly proposed and urged when there were almost no obstacles \u2018in the way, and when the sales of frontages would have paid the cost of them.But there was no civic statesmanship to lay hold on them; there was no obvious way of making money for anybody out of the proceedings.Any of those improvemants wculd have more than vindicated itself by this time, but any of them would cost a good deal to-day, Stettler The London \u2018Globe\u2019 brings a strong indictment against British Columbia and such ministers as Mr.Oliver, Minister of the Interior, who treat the Sikhs »s if they were inferiors, and seek to prevent them entering the country.So far from treating the Sikh as a subject of the same empire, and related in closely race, the Canadian is often ignorant enough to call bim a \u2018nigger, a sufficient reproach in his eyes for denying him any rights.This, as the \u2018Globe\u2019 remarks, is putting a hard strain on imperialism.It 6 indeed infamous, apart from other causes, that the Canadian should {reat the Indian as if he were a man beneath him, while he still asks that the Indian Civil Service shall be open to him and his sons, and that the Indian trade shall be free to Canadians.Canadians, too, should be taught that the Sikh, who 1s about the only Indian that emigrates, 1s still the backbone of our Indian Empire, upon whom we must largely depend in days of trouble there.And great trouble 15 threatening even now.In the great and little wars of the past, the Sikh .has ever been to the front in the role of honor and famous for gallant deeds.It 18 such men, many of whom still bear the scars of their loyalty and intrepedity, that our friends in the west would treat äo contumeliously.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 LET THE WORK GO ON.The \u2018 Yorkshire Post\u2019 says that the distinguishing feature of elections was the personal probity and honorable achievements of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, which had to be cast in the balance against the charges of dishonesty and corruption brought against his party by the Opposition.It is impossible, however, urges the \u201cYorkshire Post,\u2019 that Sir Wilfrid, after his great success, can be blind to the obligation which the circumstances have placed upon him.Great influence, in any case, involves great responsibility, and that responsibility is magnified when the personal influences of a leader carried into power men who could not themselves gain the confidence of the public.The \u2018Post\u2019 says that there is no more loyal British subject than the \u2018 Frenchman,\u201d who is now for the fourth time elected by popular vote to the Premiership of Canada, and it trusts he will recognize that he has a duty not only to Canada but to the Empire to remove from his country a stain which cought not to rest on any of the Dominions of the King.The \u2018Post\u2019 quotes from its correspondent in Canada, who says, \u2018The most serious scandals, those \u201cwhich involve charges of graft and \u2018prodigal use of public money, have as \u201ctheir foundation parliamentary com- \u2018mittee or judicial records that can no \u2018more be argued out of existence than \u2018the North America Act.\u2019 The \u2018Post\u2019 concludes a long article on the matter by saving that it will be a fitting crown to Sir Wilfrid Laurier's career if he should determine that, at whatever sacrifice, the public morality of Canada shall not become a byword among the nations and a reproach to the Empire.All are agreed that the Dominion has a great future as one of the Sister States of the Bntish Empire, and there is ample ground for the which will have still better warrant if an end be put to the administrative methods which the recent elections brought so unpleasantly into prominence.Something has been done and is doing.The Augean Stable of the Department of Marine and Fisher- les is being cleaned out, and now Mr.Pugsley announces that the patronage lists to be abandoned in the Department of Public Works and free.open tendering to be substituted.That is not enough, however.So :nuch has been found rotten in the Department of Marine and Fisheries that the public will insist upon the inquiry being ex- expectation, arc + ; | - \u2014.- 4 - vi mas RESTA ov CUS the Canadian { THE MONTREAL D tended into the Departments of Militia.Public Works, Railways, and other departments.\u2018In addition to that.the reforms in the Civil Service must be extended to cover the whole of that service, and thé election laws further amended to make saw-offs criminal offences, and generally in the interests of purity.Sir Wilfrid has a great work before him, and -he will receive the undivided support of those having the best interests of Canada at heart.rm THE NEW FREE TRADERS.Mr.Carnegie, now that he is able to see the world broadly and from all sides, has discovered what Adam- Smith discovered long ago, that the \u2018Wealth of nations\u2019 depende largely on Free Trade\u2014 that buying freely everywhere reduces to each the cost of living, and that nations cannot sell if they will not buy.His steel industry has come to a point where it is by nature in a position to supply all nations more cheaply than any other nation can supply the same commodity, but is checked in doing soi by the greater cost of production and by the refusal of the country to take goods in exchange, thus greatly nr creasing the cost of transportation and of exchange.He has therefore come out flat-footed for the removal of protection from his own industry, seeing plainly that if the protective duty on steel 18 removed the rest of the Dingley strue- ture will come down like a house of cards.But Mr.Carnegie cannot yet ignore the fact that he has been hitherto a vigorous advocate of the protective tariff.He cannot ignore the fact that it has brought to him personally at the expense of his countrymen oceans ot wealth.He is not prepared yet to step down and admit even to himself that as far as his country was concerned he was all wrong, that, for instance, raul- way expansion would have gone on twice as fast if iron and labor and everything else had been on a free trade basis.He therefore plants himself on the old infant industries theory and tells us, what almost no overgrown Jnr fant ever told us before, that his is at last big enough to walk alone.If duties began to come off they woud not stay at the point where they produced most revenue, for the revenue would increase beyond all needs.They would not stay at the point where they produced the necessary revenue, because it would have been learned that no method of raising revenue could be more expensive or mischievous or burdensome to the poor.So long as there was any incidental privilege in them to any one the people as a whole would resent them.When they fell only upon the poor man\u2019s needs they would be condemned.The proposal to take the protective duties off steel suggests tremendous possibilities for the United States.The one fact that maintains Great Britain in her monopoly of the commerce of the world and in her first place as the workshop of the world is her monopoly of free trade.Should the United States pub herself on the same basis of free trade her better conditions of production would give her every advantage over an island whose agriculture does not support herself, and whose mineral wealth is now obtained under difficulties.Another of the industrial sages of the great republic whose success gives him the ear of the people is Mr.James J.Hill.Like Mr.Carnegie, he is able to look on the business interests of the country and to speak of them without deference to the interests of any party.To the New York Chamber of Commerce he foretold reciprocity with Canada.This is a question which has slumbered for several years, owing to the \u2018 non-possumus\u2019 attitude of the United States and the determination of Canada not to make any further advances, but leave it to the powers at Washington to re-open the subject and submit the first proposals.Mr.Hill upheld the side of his native land when he said: \u2018We have too long considered \u201cit only as a boon for us to grant and \u2018Canada to ask.That may have been \u2018true thirty years ago; it is not true \u2018to-day.Not as a suppliant, but as \u2018an equal, she must be dealt with.Her \u2018 interest is no greater and no less than \u2018ours, her position is as independent.\u201d Ar to that, it was never true and never could be true, that the benefit of freer trade could be all on one side.Even if the reciprocity granted were jug- handled, as the phrase was when Canada adopted what Sir John Macdonald called reciprocity of tariff in place of reciprocity of trade, still, every bargain made between the people of the two countries would presumably be a profitable one to both parties to it.Thus, every lowering of any tariff js necessarily beneficial alike and equally to the country which lowers it and the country with which it trades.At present, trade is free in each country along lines of latitude, overcoming all obstacles of TNT PE LL IGT eg RE PERS EE te AILY WITNESS trade from north to south is dammisd back by artificial tariff barriers, to the immense hurt and disadvantage of both.The masses on both sides, who have ro particular interest in maintaining these barriers, so as to keep each country as a preserve for exploitation by favored minorities, would be greatly benefited, \u2018as Mr.Hill proved, by reciprocity.He showed how New England and the whole tier of Northern States want free trade with Canada because of the manv benefits it would confer on them.No doubt the advantages on our side would be quite equal.Canadian industries would be able to specialize more, having the whole continent before them.The change would cost something, but whatever ;was naturally a Canadian industry would expand greatly.For their part the United States have advanced industrially and commercially until they have been repulsed by a frontier tariff wall of their own creation.There is only one way by which they can overcome this difficulty.They built the wall, let them pull it down.As for us, we cannot give them any advantages we do not give to Great Britain, but with that limitation we are in favor of every possible reduction.INSTRUCTIONS TO POLICE JUDGES ISSUE ORDER REGARD ING PRODUCTION OF EVIDENCE.When Judge Piche made his remarks a week ago anent the conduct of the police department in the

Fulfil Tradition Ground Should be Covered With Snow To-morrow.HOW THE FETE IS SPENT BY FRENCH-CANADIANS IN THE COUNTRY.There is evidently something wrong with the weather prophet.The calendar, which never makes a mistake, shows us that to-morrow, November 25, will be the feast of St.Catherine, and it was always well understood, among Canadians of the old generation that the \u2018Sainte Catherine\u2019 meant a wintry day, a day with plenty of snow, upon which to spread tablespoonfuls of hquid \u2018latire,\u201d so as to harden in time for the joyful pulling and stretching.But what do we find on the eve of St.Catherine's day, in this year of 19087 April weather, with rain and wind and many degrees above zero, instead of cold and snow.However, St.Catherine will be here to-morrow, all the same, and perchance a goiracle of the good saint may bring genuine Canadian snow storm within the twenty-four hours.Be that as it may, circumstances will not prevent preparations being made 1n many French-Canadian homes, especially in the country districts, for the celebration of the event.The country merchant does not forget this date, and his store is always supplied with a good provision of the best molasses for the occasion.Each family has given its orders, and while the little ones are anxiously counting the days and hours that precede the feast, mothers and sisters are kept busy preparing pies and roasts, for th: invited guests must not be entertained with candy only.But while the dainty dishes are being thus prepared, female gossip has ite sway, and women, young and old, discuss the question of age as regards all the unmarried girls in the parish.Starting on the acknowledged principle that St.Catherine 18 the patroness i of \u2018old maids,\u201d the discussion goes on as to whether so and so has attained the required age to don the good saint's hood, as the saying goes.and will be a fit subject for good humored teasing on the night of the gathering .Of course, there is always a tendency to add one or two years to the intended victims\u2019 age, while the latter themselves have always a number of most convincing arguments to show that they are much younger than their r-al age.Now, let us suppose that this is one of the good old years, and that we have reached St.Catherine\u2019s day, with its traditional snow storm, beginning the \"winter with the \u2018bordee de la Ste.Catherine\u201d What takes place?A certain number of families entertain, while the others are guests.After an early supper at home, the visitors prepare for the journey qver the new snow.The women wrfp up the children in mantles and shawls, and after the whole family has been comfortably installed in the large box sleigh, th father, with his heavy buffalo coat, his \u2018capuchin.\u2019 his clay pipe and his whip, takes his seat in front.Of course, the best horse in the stable has been harnessed for the occasion, and off the party go, to the sourd of the joyous sleigh bells.Young lovers, as a rule, go hy themselves, and the competition is keen between the young men of the district, as to who will display the finest turn-out to take his sweetheart or \u2018blonde\u2019 to the \u2018latire\u2019 party.The new buggy slewh and new fur robes, bought after the next the young girl who is well aware that her \u2018cavalier\u2019 is coming for her and will make a good show on the road.is aux- iously looking through the window.awaiting his armval.Now he has come at last, and the two start together, being specially warned not to come back too late.The real pleasure of the evening commences at this moment.Sleighs meet and sleighs pass one another.A real \u2018sport\u2019 must not allow the man behind him to get ahead, and the races that follow are accompanied by any amount of good-humored remarks and jokes.If the roads are heavy and the snow deep, it is a good joke to arrange matters in such a manner that a full sleigh will upset in a large bank, where there is no danger of being hurt, an incident which will be a theme of conversation for a good part of the evening.Now, all have arrived.The host and hostess have told their visitors to make themselves at home, a good fire has been kindled in the large boxstove, and no time must be lost in preparing the good \u2018latire.\u201d While the women are attending to this, the men smoke their pipes, crack jokes and tell stories.At a given moment, the \u2018hostess\u2019 announces that \u2018latire\u2019 is ready, and then some of the men take in a Supply of clean snow iu dishes.The candy is soon cooled down and divided into lumps.which are taken in hand by one or two at a time.and pulled and stretched to give it the finest possible appearance.All this is done amidst laughter and jokes, and the discussion as to whose \u2018lump\u2019 is the finest, is enlivened by the teasing of those mal- dens whose age is bound to remain a mystery.The lumps of \u2018latire\u2019 are cut into smal pieces, and placed on plates that are passed around several times during the evening.A real French-Canadian reunion would not be complete without a dance; and now comes the function of an important person in the parish: the village fiddler.He takes his seat in a comfortable place, tunes his instrument with care, and starts off with a \u2018jig.There are no con- ventionalitics, there is no quadrille of honor, but every one chooses his partner as each dance comes on, and things are so arranged that one and all occupy the floor to their heart\u2019s content.distance and

Children, even Indian children, are not all alike.They are interesting and troublesome in varioua ways, Some oË Miss Helen\u2019s 40 little aborigines are mischievous and bright, and some are good, but stupid.Some are timid and others are defiant.Many are noisy and full of animal spirits, where a few are silent and easily moved to tears.Little Yellow Star is unique.Like the other children, she is given a Christian name.She learns to write it in a clear lttle cramped hand, while the others of her age are ecribbling \u2018l\u2019a\u2019 and \u2018ms\u2019 She is dressed, with i's the rest, in a clean calico frock, stock- \u2018ings and shoes, all of which are still clean and whole when Katie and Amy have become utterly demoralized.She sits erect on her hard wooden chair, and eats her bread and milk neatly, without spilling a drop, while Miss Helen is at her wit's end to preserve table decorom among Agnes\u2019s contemporaries.In three months she has learn=d all that the infant class are taught, aud is promoted to a class of big girls, to read out of a book, and work problems on the blackboard.Whereupon her tiny face becomes a study of mingled emp- tions\u2014pride, joy, emulation, fear\u2014all subdued by her wonderful, unchildish self-control.: During the summer months, when Miss Helen is away, Agmes\u2019s school frock wears out, and her mother dresses her once more in the Indian fashion.School opens again in September\u2014but Agnes does not appear.When Miss Helen goes in search of her favorite, she sees a shrinking little ragged figure in a corner of the untidy cabin, ind out of the semi-darkness look a pair of great sad eyes, expressive of the most poignant shame.Of course a new frock 15 promptly forthcoming, and it is sufficient proof of the child\u2019s gratitude that she does not again miss a day at school until\u2014but I anticipate.Miss Helen makes much of Christmas Joy among these neglected little ones, to whom it is a wholly new experience.There is a Chrismas tree, of course, and carols are sung, and gifts are distrihut- ed.On another holiday evening there 1s a soap bubble party, and again a candy-pull, and for New-year's day a sleighride is the amusement planned.Four of the rude sleds which the Tn- diane possess are engaged for the day, cushioned plentifully with hav.and filled with merry girls and boys, well fortified from the cold by their gay new mittens.scarfs and hoods.Four of the children\u2019s fathers drive the ragged little Indian pones.who, jingling made with bells of all sorts and sizes.pull their loads gallantly over the crisp snow.Miss Helen herself nestles in the midst of the smallest children.Thev drive to the agency.where they all take dinner at the boarding school, and have a glorious time.The days are short and the evenings chill.At 2 o'clock they must begin the 10-mile drive home.Agnes\u2019s uncle has met them and insisted upon transferring the Does not Color the Hair] Stops Falling Hair AYER\u2019S HAIR VIGOR ASBE Brome STOS County Asbestos Development Co., Ltd- Capital Stock $200,000 in Two Thousand Shares of $100 each.DIRECTORS F.A.OLMSTEAD, Sutton, Que.NH.H.WILLIAMS, East Broughton.Wi.JOHNSON, A.CG, LYTLE, Eastman, Que.C6.A.NUTTING, Waterloo, Que.Montreal, Que.Bankers \u2014The Eastern Townships Bank.Soligitors\u2014 Oughtred & Phelan, New York Life Bidg., Montreal.Offer for public subscription 1,000 shares of the Capital Stock at par value \u2014One hundred dollars each.Prospectus with full particulars may be had on applying to Brome County Asbestos Development Co., Ottawa Ba nk Bldg., Montreal or Eastman, Que.Applications will be allotted in the order received.HR >» COAL ANTHRACITE and BITUMINOUS FOUNDRY COOKE.GENUINE GEORGE'S OREEK SMITHS COAL.Prompt and Careful Delivery.Apply FARQUHAR ROBERTSON, 206 St.James st.child to hie own waggon, so that their number is reduced by one.The return ride is à merry one, and it appears that all has gone well\u2014ul- til The.next morning, when Agness grandmother presents herself at the achoolhouse door, fairly shaking with indignation.Miss Helen 1s startled and shocked to learn that her uncle has somehow managed to leave her behind on the day before, and that the little creature walked those 10 miles through the deep snow, attended only by the faithful Sheka, and reached home after dark, half-frozen and all but \u2018x- hausted.Of course the man 18 to blame, but none the less 1s the \u2018white woman\u2019 reviled in choice Dakota by all of Yellow Star\u2019s relations, to the third and fourth generation, and neither explanation nor regret will in any wise atone for this misfortune.\u2018She shall never, never, never, go to school again! Shall .ghe not, indeed?Poor little heroine! No sooner as she recovered, from the frostbites and her fatigue, than she steadily announces her purpose, and quietly returns to school.She js s0 self-possessed and undemonstrative a ohild that petting is not to be thought of, but it may be imagined that she is no less tenderly regarded than before by her teacher, who cannot forgive herself for the innocent blunder which led to such results.She is proud of Agnes, and indulges in many dreams of her further education and future development.But there when, for the third time since the school bell rang out in the Indian village, Agnes does not answer to her name at roll-call.Miss Helen visits the cabin, and finds her favorite curled up on that game pile of ragged quilts where we first found her, with Sheka lying watchful at her feet, and regarding her with hi« great, sympathetic eyes.She does not complain, but she js unable to rise.She has a slight, Arr cough.Miss Helen gazes at the child with a sort of terror.Has she not grown smaller and thinner than she used to be?Is there not a feverish flush on her cheeks\u2014a glitter in her eves?She sends for her pony, mounts him, rides to the agency and asks the agency doctor to come down and visit little Yellow Star.He comes the next day while she is, in school, and Miss Helen does not see | She asks | him until two days later, anxiously concerning the child.CONSUMPTIOR IMPURE AIR À CAFSE Disinfection a Preventative.The Boards of Health in all parts of the country agree that consumption 1s an infectious aud communicable disease, and is usually transmitted from the sick to the well by dried sputum floating as dust in the air.This being the cuse, it can in a great measure be restricted : by the use of a reliable disinfectant.Dust, dirt and germe are best removed from floors by first sweeping with a cloth-covered broom moistened with a dilution of one part Platt\u2019s Chlorides and ten parts of water.The furniture and woodwork should be dusted with a cloth, dampened with the same dilution.he cuspidor should be washed out daily with boiling water and a dilution of one part Platt\u2019s Chlorides and four of water kept constantly in it to receive the sputum.The patient's clothing should be kept by itself, and thoroughly boiled when washed.Platt\u2019s Chlorides is an odorless, colorless liquid disinfectant which instantly comes a day in March.THE CORPORATION OF THE VILLAGE OF ROSEMOUNT will apply to the Legislature of the Province of Quebec, at its next session, to amend its charter and the statutes amending the same, concerning the following matters: The right to vote upon bv-laws of the Council, taxes, loans, expropriation, and to ratify certain by-laws and a contract granting a franchise and an exemption frowr taxation to the MONTREAL PARK & ISLAND RAILWAY CO.Situations Vacant.\u2014 - To Let.WANTED, IMMEDIATELY, A GENERAL Servant.Apply between 1 and 3 to Miss PALMER, 21 Lorne Crescent.WANTED, A I.ADY CLERK, WITH Business ability, cuick at figures, and writing.Address, stating references and exneri- ence, to P.O.Box 2234, Montreal.WANTED, YOUNG WOMEN FOR PACKing Cereals in =mall packages.Apply to OGILVIE'S CITY MILL OFFICE, 91 Mill street.eae] Pupils Wanted.PROF.III'G.BRAID], LICEO MUSICALE, Modena, Italy.Violin, 'Cello and Piano.For fees.etc., apply at Studio, 58 Vic- torla street.1 SCIENTIFIC DRESS CUTTING TAUGHT by an up-to-date easy system: also principles of dressmaking.266 St.Catherine street West.eee EEE Empioymen- Wanted.FITTER, TURNER OR FRECTING, AC- cuttemed to pumps and engines; first- class city references.Address Box \u2018Witness: Office.A RELIABLE STOKREMAN, WITH BEST of city references as to character and ability, who \"as had to seek lighter work, is looking for employment where he can be useful ex tim-'s nr, messenger.Janitor or right watchman.Apply to No.oe St.Lawrence Méulevard or \u2018Witness\u2019 ce.mn uy WANTED.AN AGENCY CF SOME RE- Hable kind that will bring a small revenue to assist a r-tired business man of experience, with both languages.Best of references ns to character and ability.Address TRUSTWORTHY, \u2018Witnesa* 10f- fice, \u2014 Businoss Cards.CRYSTAL SPRING PARK IS THE Safest Savings Bank In tha country.Why?Because these icts will more than double in value in the next three or four ÿéern, Give us $3.00 or $4.00 casb and cone and choose vour lot.HENRY FRIGON.Montreal Rea!

Cents Each PREMIER AT THE EXHIBITION Sir Lomer Gouin Greatly Interested in Fight Against Tuberculosis.ADEPUTATION ASK FOR AID TO MAKE EXHIBITION A TRAVELLING ONE.\u2014\u2014ctume A deputation from the Anti-Tuber- culosis League of Montreal waited on Sir Lomer Gouin, the Premier of the Province, at the Government offices in Montreal this morning, in order to present the arguments tor further government aid in fighting tuberculosis.The deputation laid before the Premier the facts that have been developed through the present exhibition, and the good work that has already been done.The deputation was headed by Dr.T.G.Roddick, Dr.Lachapelle, Dr.Adami, and other leaders of the anti-tuberculosis movement.Dr.Adami, in the course of an address to the Premier, thanked the latter for the interest that he has shown in this campaign against tuberculosis, not only by attending the exhibition, but by his voluntary promise to appoint a royal commission to investigate the ravages of the disease in this province, \u2018We desire, said Dr.Adami, \u2018to impress upon you the work such a commission would be able to perform for the good of the whole community.\u2018We are not appealing to the Government directly for financial aid, but we want the Government to see what has been done elsewhere, and what the conditions are in this province.Such a commission would be able to do this, and then to recommend to the Government such steps as would be specially adapted to conditions in this province, not merely to reduce the existing evil, but to adopt a systematic plan which would ald the Government in its efforts to stamp out the plague entirely.The suggestions we are making will not involve any very great expense by the Government, but if carried out may be full of future benefit to the people of this province.\u2019 He then proceeded to lay before Sir Lomer Gouin various suggestions as to the way in which the Government might aid the work.The Premier, in reply, while very guarded in his utterances, said he was deeply interested in this matter.He declared that the work of the exhibition met with his enthusiastic approval, and that he would use all his influence to interest the Provincial Government in furthering the work of the league.As a result of the interview, high hopes are entertained by the Anti-Tuberculosis League that the Government will eventually consent to make the present exhibition the nucleus for a travelling exhibition to go through the province and educate the people in the various districts as to how best to fight the ravages of the white plague.THE PREMIER'S VISIT.The Premier's visit to the Tuberculosis Exhibition took place yesterday afternoon, Sir Lomer being accompanied by the Hon.Rodolphe Roy.He had a warm welcome, especially in the lecture room, where Dr.Decarie was addressing 400 convent girls.Sir Lomer was introduced to this meeting, and in reply to the greeting given him, complimented the league and committee very highly upon the work they were doing by means of the present exhibition.\u2018The money which I was somewhat instrumental in procuring from the Government in aid of this exhibition,\u2019 said Bir Lomer, \u2018I regard as money very well spent.And I may further say that it is my intention to use all the influence I have to try and secure some legislation which may aid in bringing this scourge under better control.Although I am not a medical man, you have shown me not only the dangers, but the possible remedies, and I shall certainly aid your campaign against tuberculosis in so far es | am able to do so.\u2019 The Hon.Rodolphe Roy also made a brief speeëh, in which he expressed his warm approval of the work of the Anti- Tuberculosis Teague, and the benefits that must acerue from such exhibitions.He also promised that he would sesond any efforts made by the Premier te in- tereat the Provincial Government in aid- inz the society in its work.Dr.T.G.Roddick, on behalf sf the GT TS - pie A À A TU AT \" THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS PY Men Grow Enthusiastic | over the shirts we are showing for evening dress wear.The special way they're

personally attending the exhibition and by securing a Government grant in its aid.He did not think the Provincial Government had ever made an investment that had such possibilities for the general welfare as the $1,000 they had voted for this exhibition.In conclu- gion, he heartily thanked Sir Lomer Gouin and the Hon.Mr.Roy for their attendance.The Premier and his party were warmly cheered as they departed.The interest in the exhibition was well maintained yesterday, over 3,000 people visiting the Auditorium, while several addresses on matters connected with the campaign of the Anti-Tuberculosis League were given, A meeting of the Société Medicale was held at the lecture hall in the evening, under the presidency of Dr.Lesage, when an address was given by Dr.Knopf, of New York, on technical methods for the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis.PROGRESS OF ART CLASSES A VISIT TO THE MONUMENT NATIONAL.\u2014 \u2018The general attendance at the evening classes, held under the direction of the Council of Arts and Manufactures of the Province of Quebec, in this city, has been most gratifying so far this year,\u2019 remarked the president, Mr.Thomas Gauthier, last evening, when, through his courtesy and kindness, a party of newspaper men had the pleasure of seeing the different classes at work in the Monument Na- ticnal.There 1,261 pupils were enrolled up to Oct.31, but, by the time the November report is out, there will be at least one hundred more, he added.Probably one of tlie most interesting classes visited was the modelling, under tbe direction of Professors A.Laliberté and A.Corti.Over 450 models were exhibited, some of which represented the history of Canada in the early days of Jacques Cartier and the Indians down to the present day.The object of the class 18 to give instruction to pupils who have already a certain knowledge of drawing, and more particulariv lo prospective sculptors in different speclalties, as it is by means of clay modelling that pupils become familiar with the principles of sculpture.ln this department last evening, the visitors had the opportunity of seeing a class at work on a living model.The best attended class, accerding to the report, is that in which freehand drawing is taught, for 167 pupils are enrolled, which is a large increase over that of last year.In the elementary classes, the pupil draws from solids, but in the advanced classes, as the teacher sees that his pupil is getting more proficient in his work, he is allowed to go on to living models.Other departments visited were the jithographing, shoe drafting, solfeggio, mechanical drawing and architectural drawing.In the ladies\u2019 dress cutting and dressmaking departments, over 326 pupils are attending the classes under the direction of Miss M.A.Gagnon, Mrs.M.S.Bouliane, Miss A.Talbot, Miss R.St.Michel, Miss M.Harrington, and Miss M.S.Renaud.In this department and in the carpentry class, the pupils are so cramped for space that in most instances, when all the scholars are present, it is necessary to put benches and tables out in the corridors.Among the members of the council, who made the tour of inspection last evening with Mr.Thos.Gauthier.were Mr.J.P.S.Berubé.assistant secretary, and Messrs.J.M.M.Duff and W.H.Rapteel.In Mcntreal, the council has five schools, viz., Monument National, 293 Bt.Lawrence Boulevard; 183 Congregation street, C.P.R., Angus shops, Davidson sreet, and at tha C.P.R.reading room, 220 Delorimier avenue.The council has also classes in Quebec, St.Hyacinthe, Three Rivers, Sherbrooke, St.Johns, Lachine, Valleyfield, Sorel, Fraserville and Levis, and the total enrollment, including the schools in Montreal up to Oct.31, is over 2,600 papils.emai COUNTY W.C.T.U.The

invited to il TARIFF REVISION.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Mr.Carnegie Invited to Appear Before House Committee.AND.GIVE HIS VIEWS AS TO POSSIBLE REDUCTION OF IRON AND STEEL DUTIES.\u2014 Washington, D.C., Nov.23.\u2014As a result of the declaration of Mr.Andrew Carnegie in an artide in the Forta- coming number of the Century Magazine that the tarif£ seaedules on iron and steel should be reduced, the Ways and Means committee of the House tonight, thougn its chairman, Sereno kL.Payne, formally invited Mr.Carnegie to appear before it this week to tell what ne knows about the steel industry and the possibility of the reduction oi the duties on iron and steel products.The commission desires him to.appear on Wednesday, when the iron and steel schedule will be taken up in the hearing now being held by the committee looking toward a revimon of the tariff, The hearings on the iron and steel rates will continue until Friday and if Mr.Carnegie finds it impossible to appear Wednesday the committee is anxious to hear him on Thursday or Friday.No reply bad been received from Mr.Carnegie by the committee when it took a recess at ll o'clock tonight untii tomorrow at 11 a.m.but as Chawrnan Payne\u2019s telegram of invitation was not sent until late no reply is expected until to-morrow.c.The members of the committee .were a unit in refusing to discuss Mr.Car negie\u2019s article, although all of them admitted having read it as published this morning.Sitting in a long night session to con- eider the tariff schedules on tiles, limes, cement, carbons and kindred articles, the committee put in full time at work to-day.In the course of the night ges- sion, H.L.Sheppard and Orien F.Perry, of the Rockland Rockport (Maine) Lime Company, were put through a grilling examinatio n, when they asked that the present duty of five cents a hundred pounds on lime be maintained.Mr.Perry asserted that his company was organized in 1900, when seven or eight firms were purchased.He admitted that the price of lime had advanced ever since.Chairman Payne asked why nis tim was the only one that demands a ducy.Because we are so near the Canadian manufacturers and because ours is the best made in the United States\u2019 he replied.\u2019 Using figures furnished him Representative Clark figured out that Fhe company is making 24 percent profit.= THE WRECK AT PONTYPOOL BRAKEMAN SAID

granted we were going to follow the passenger train, which we let by from the West, after the usual twenty-minute interval, and opened the switch, not thinking of the oncoming westbound freight.After opening the switch, | think he came back to the engine to wait.I did not see him before the wreck to tell him anything.He saw the engineer's orders and instructions, or should have seen them.\u2019

Landed in Britain by Germany.London, Nov.23.\u2014Speaking in the House of Lords to-night, Field Marshal Lord Roberts expressed the conviction that the lack of a military force sufficient to make hopeless the attempt of an invasion, would, in all probability, be the cost of Great Britain\u2019s supremacy at sea.In a studied speech he pointed out the comparative ease with which Germany could land an army on the shores of England.Under the present conditions England would be forced, he said, to submit to most humiliating demands.He disclaimed all hostilitv to or fear of Germany, but he declared that the defence of the islands required di FIELD MARSHAI, LORD ROBERTS.immediate attention.There should be an army so strong in numbers and efli- ciency that the most formidable of foreign nations would hesitate to make a landing in England.He had ascertained, the speaker continued, that vessels capable of accommodating 200,000 men were available in the northern ports of Germany and that as a resuit of the new German service law, 200,000 men could be collected in the districts of the nearest port without any trouble.The great German steamship lines were in constant practice in embarking and disembarking, and as the railways were owned by the state, all preliminaries, up to the actual despatch of troops, could be carried out with the utmost sccrecy.(Germany was perfectly aware, the Field Marshal went on, that it would be essential for her transports to evade the British fleet, and she could easily distract attention by small raids while the main disembarkation was proceeding undisturbed.\u2018It would be folly,\u2019 declared Lord Roberts, \u2018to shut our eyes to these possibilities, however much peace is desired.The startling events in the Near East have brought home to the most careless observer that nothing could save that country which is not prepared to protect itself.If Great Britain continues to neglect the most ordinary precautions she may some day find herself in the hands of the invader and forced to submit to the most humiliating conditions.* The danger is to-day becoming morc threatening.Within a decade, Germany has created the greatest sea power that ever existed, except Great Brit: ain\u2019s, and at the present moment it is formidable.Measures are being taken to increase that power.It is calculated that there are 80,000 Germans in employment in Great Britain.They are trained soldiers, amd if a German force once landed on these shores they would be ready to help Lord Roberts contended that it was not absolutely essential for a nation to command the sea in order to carry out an invasion.A temporary local command would suffice, and this was perfectly understood in Germany.The main temptation to the invasion of Great Britain was the want of a home armv, which ought to consist of a million men.Across the narrow sea were 60,000.000 Germans, who, by perseverance, industry, sound education and military training, bad made themselves a great nation.They required outlets for their commerce and population.It was Great Britain\u2019s business, continued Lord Roberts, to find out in what way the great increase in Germany's sea powers was likely to affect her and to adopt measures necessary for her own defence.The navy under present conditions, was fettered in home waters, and, without military force sufficient to render an invasion hopeless, Great Britain\u2019s military weakness would in all proba- ; cera Te a Torspiy, NovEwsrr 24 ung bility be the cause of the loss of her naval supremacy.Lord Roberts s speech caused a sensation in the House.The Earl of Crewe remarked on the seriousness of sueh statements in the present high- strung condition of Europe\u2019s nerves, saying he feared there might be regrettable consequences.Roberts's resolution to the effect that \u2018 the defence of the islands necessitates the immediate attention of the government to make provision for such a strong and efficient army that the most formidable foreign na\u2018ion will hesitate before making an attempt at landing,\u201d was adopted by a vote of 74 to 32.THE BALKANS PROBLEM.Austria Feeling the Turkish Trade Boycott.CLAIM OF THE FORMER AS TO BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA REJECTED BY THE PORTE.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Vienna, Nov.23.\u2014The persistent boycott of Austrian trade by Turkey 1s absorbing attention for the moment to the exclusion of all other aspects of the Balkans problem.Commercial interests have been pressing the Government to interfere, and a special ministerial conference has been submitted to consider the matter.It is stated that it has al ready been decided that Austrian Lloyd steamers which are still boycotted at Turkish ports shall in the future be accompanied by Austrian warships.Officials of the Ministry of Commerce say that Austrian trade to the amount of one billion kroner has already been lost.St.Petersburg, Nov.23.\u2014A Constantinople despatch to the \u2018Bourse Gazette\u2019 declares that the strain between Austria and Turkey is grave.Turkey has decisively rejected Austria's claim for the recognition of her annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as a condition of her agreeing to a conference, and is moving troops westward in readiness for emergencies.It is alleged that 23,000 have gone west since November 1, and the movement continues.Austria is also increasing her military preparations.CHINESE BOYCOTT AGAINST JAPANESE ATTEMPTS TO END IT LEAD TO A SERIOUS RIOT AT HONGKONG, Victoria, B.C., Nov.23.\u2014With 3,500 tons of general merchandise and 47 Chinese, the steamer \u2018leucer\u2019 arrived 10 night from Liverpool and the Unent.When the \u2018Teucer\u2019 was at Hongkong there was à serious antiJapanese riot going on and many shops and godowns were looted by an organized mob of rioters as a result of the displeasure of the Chinese because of the efforts of the government to put down the boycott against the Japanese on the part or the Chinese of the colony.Armed police were called out to disperse the mobs, and 12 Chinese were arrested.The opening of the rioting was at the two go downs of Chinese firms on Kaoshing street.The firms dealt extensively In Japanese goods, particularly dred fish.Two hundred rioters broke open the doors and threw goods valued at $6,004, into the street, where they were destroyed or carried away.On Nov.1 the rioting grew in ViOlence and scemed well Chinese godowns and shops containing Japanese goods had been marked yl and a plan of campaign followed.As the police dispersed the mobs they regathered, smashed doors open, looted, leaving the premises a shell.The police | were armed with rifles and ball cartridges, and all night the strecte were crowded with rioters.In many places the rioters showed fight when the police came, and the police, a-sisted by somo sailors, replied to showers of stones from the mob with charges.At one stage the police fixed bayonets to pre vent attempts at the rescue of prisoners.The cause of the riots was an et- fort made by the Chinese merchants 1n- terested in importing Japanese goods to end the boycott, and one of the promot- ere of this was waylaid and had one OL bis cars cut off.\u201c_.LANDSLIDES ON PANAMA CANAL Panama, Nov.23.\u2014Sensationa] reports were in circulation here to-day to the effect that what is known as the South Tow of the Gatun Dam of the Panama Caual had sunk.Some time ago a rumor had it that an underground lake had been found there at a depth of 210 feet.The dam at Gatun already has been built about 40 feet above sea level.Lieut.-Col.Geo.E.Thals, chief engi- peer of the Panama Canal Commission, telephoned the Associated Press that a slide had occurred at Gatun, but that it was of no great importance, being similar to others that have taken place during the rainy season at several points along the canal.For the past 20 days it has been raining continually throughout the Republic.The Charges niver 1s flooded, and all the railway tracks at Gatun are under water.\u2018lhe floor ot the pumping station is submerged to a depth of more than five feet, and the locksites also are flooded.The pumping station was used to keep the locksites clear from water.AN ELECTION PROTEST Regina, Nov.24.\u2014The Liberals have protested the return of Mr.A.E.Whet- more, in Milestone, where he defeated organized,
