Mr.Joseph, Fipeant-and.anie man of Longueuil, Mr.A.Lussier.Th monster is described as of a light brown color and blows continually.Several boats have gone out with people on board to view it closely and several shots have been fired at it, but without result.When a boat approaches it dives to the bottom of the river, coming up at intervals to blow.Those who know something about these big fish say that it is a cow whale and in all probability will never see the mouth of the St.Lawrence again alive.If it gets out of Montreal harbor unscathed in all probability it will drift into some shallow water and there die of starvation.The French name of the fish is \u2018 baleincau,\u2019 or \u2018 baby whale.LAA \u20ac Fa THE PAPAL DELEGATE\u2019S MOVE MENTS.Mgr.Merry del Val was entertained to-day by the authorities of the Loyola College, corner of St.Catherine and Bleury streets, where he mct the Catholic priests of the city, having charge of English-speaking congregations.This evening His Excellency will preside at the grand religious ceremony in honor of the Sacred Heart in the Church of Notre Dame.To-morrow evening he will meet the Catholic sailors in their institute on Commissioners street.A special programme has been prepared for the occasion and the delegate will deliver an address, MORE GALICIANS.A POOR PLACE TO WELCOME THEM.Another large party of Galician immigrants arrived in the city yesterday on their wav to *b: North-West.In all, there were probably two hundred, and diverse comments were made upon their appearance and their supposed fitness for the life of the North-West.Most of them got away safely last night and this morning ; but some fifty were temporarily detained owing to some difficulty about tickets.These were placed in the immigrant sheds below the station vard to await communication with the Hansa Steamship Company.The sheds, by the very nature of the case, are unsuitable for ever the most temporary housing of human beings.They are low and dark, and bare, and ill-smelling, while from above there are almost constant exuda- tions of water and oil, which fall upon the floor, fall upon the heads of the miserable creatures who, in all postures denoting utter weariness and despair, lie about on the hard boards.It is quite true that the floors are serubbed and that attempts are made to give the sheds a cleanly appearance; but when the filthy habits of the great bulk of the immigrants, taken\u2014particularly from the continent of Europe\u2014from the lowest social stratum, are considered in connection with the darkness and the droppinzs from above\u2014it will be seen that it wou'd be impossible to make the place a fit shelter for thousands of immigrants during the summer months, who need accom- m-dation while they are being distribuced to their final destinations.It is these considerations which would seem {o make it imperative that the federal government should erect in a suitable place receiving quarters, with proper cenveniences, where shelter and food could be obtained during the weary waiting time between the landing of the ship or train and the going forward.The (ralicians were found huddled to.gether\u2014men, women and children\u2014on the hard seats, some sleeping, others sitting stolidly, in their sheepskin garments, which must have been simply suffocating upon a day like this, and all in the last degree uncleanly and ill-smelling.In the last waiting-room were a large number of Polish Jews bound for the Western States.These were tidy, clean people, with not a little dignity and self- respect of manners and habits.À THE LOWER LACHINE ROAD.On Sunday morning at one o\u2019clock the residence of Mr.A.T.Wiley, the well- «nown crockery and glassware merchant, at the Highlands, Lower Lachine road, was destroyed by fire.Mr.Wiley was awakened by the smoke, and had barely FIRE ON LET THE g had : \u20ac ing the night.At first he \u2018Egyptian \u2018designs.The.Jord Myon, time to save his wife and children, literally escaping with their lives, losing all their furniture, clothing and jewellery.Unfortunately there was no insurance.It is supposed the fire originated in a defective chimney.lg about half an hour all was destrg ëd.Mr.Wiley has the sympathy of a Wide circle of friends in this misfortune.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 SEALS IN THE HARBOR.A FLEET OF SIX CANOES GOES IN PURSUIT.There was great excitement in the east end along the river front vesterday, when it became noised abroad that a family of seals were disporting themselves in that portion of the river between lle Ronde and St.Helen's Island.They were first perceived shortly after sunrise fn the morning by Mr.Guilbois, who 1 ong pe ; pe .whea A) Xs ARES TEV thought the creatures were men swimming, but (he antics were so curious that he paid closer attention to them and found that thev were seals.A fleet of six canoes pulled out into the river in the afternoon to effect their capture, but so far, no seal dead or alive has been brought back to the city.There was a lot of popping of rifles and rumor credits one crew with having killed three of the amphibious visitors.JUBILEE FESTIVITIES.\u2014 A LUNCHEON PARTY AT THE MANSION HOUSE.\u2014_\u2014 London, June 25.\u2014The lord Mayor, Sir George Faudel-Philips, gave a luncheon at two o'clock this afternoon, at the Mansion House, to all the Princes and Princesses, home and foreign, who were in the jubilee procession, to meet the gpecial envoys with the rank of ambassador and to part of the diplomatic corps.Among those present were the United States Special Envoy, Mr.White- law Reid, and Mrs.Reid; and the United States Ambassador, Col.John Hay, and Mrs.Hay.The guests were entertained in the Egyptian Hall, whose lofty domed roof, richly ornamented with heavy moldings supported on massive luted golden columns, were a fine finish to the prettily tinted walls patterned in, wore the same robe worn on jubilee day.Great crowds of people watched the arrival and departure of the guests, who were warmly cheered.London, June 25.\u2014The favorable impression produced in England by President McKinley\u2019s action in appointing a special embassy for the historic occasion of the Queen\u2019s Jubilee, is emphasized by the distinction with which it has been received at Court and in the highest social circles.All the members of the special embassy share in the exceptional honors and attentions paid to them as representatives of the United States.Royalty has set the style, and every reference to America in the public press is sympathetic and appreciative.The fact is generally recognized that America has departed from her usual half-hearted methods of diplomatic intercourse with foreign nations, and taken her place with dignity and distinction in the world\u2019s court of honor opened in London for the purpose of congratulating the Queen and her Empire on her long and prosperous reign.Good feeling has been promoted by this exceptional demonstration of American courtesy and appreciation, and the way may have been opened for the adjustment of several questions vitally affecting the United States.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 END OF A STIRRING LIFE.Barrie, Ont, June 24 \u2014Charles Henry, who died here yesterday afternoon, was in humble circumstances, but had a his tory worth remeating.He was bom in Montreal in 1832, being the youngest son of the late William Henry, of the North-West Company of Montreal.Being a strong-willed lad he did not like parental restraint, so he escaped while at school in Toronto, choosing a sailor's hte, which his parents had often forbidden.He shipped on an American man-of-war, serving at different times on the \u2018Marion\u2019 and \u2018Decatur\u2019 On these ships he sailed in all parts of the world, b:ing once shipwrecked among the Brazils.After fifteen years of sea life he went ashore and followed divers occupations since then.He served in marine bands and for many years was senior drum-major in the 35th Battalion, Siurcoe Foresters.Mis grandfather was Alex.Heury, the famous North-West explorer, the first white man to cross the Rockies and the only white man that lived through the battle of Michilimack- inac.Deceased had a brother, a professor in a veterinary college in Michigan, but formerly G.T.R.agent at Windsor for twenty-five years.His only sister is Mrs.Murray, wife of the accountant of the Supreme Court, Toronto.On Wednesday of last week Mr.Henry was struck accidentally by a passing wheelman.The shock, though not a severe onc, caused paralysis of the lower parts of the body.He leaves a widow.cer, reports about five usual, DEVASTATING RAIN.DAMAGE BY LAST EVENING'S STORM.A severe electric storm passed over the city last evening.There seemed little of a passing nature about the rain.A RECKLESS RULER.London, June 25.\u2014The Berlin correspondent of the \u2018Daily News\u2019 says:\u2014 During the gale on Sunday the Emperor William, against the urgent advice of his entourage, embarked on a little steam launch, attended by Count Von Walder- see, and started from the \u2018 Mohenzol- lern\u2019 to visit the steamer \u2018 Columbia\u2019 at Cuxhaven.The sea was very rough and dashed the launch back against the It came down in cloudfalls, drenching man and beast, washing down railways and flooding drains.The overflow of the sewer on St.Catherine street, between St.J.awrence and St.Charles Borromee streets, caused the filling of a number of cellars, and the city will once more have damages to pay.Mr.R.G.Stevens estimates the damage to flour, sugar, currants, etc, in the base- \u2018 Hohenzollern \u2019 with such force that she began to fil.A row boat manned by twelve sailors was quickly lowered and | the Emperor entered it, despite the tremendous sea that was running.The sailors were unable to make the least headway toward the \u2018Columbia\u2019 and fin- elly a vessel undertock to tow the boat; but owing to the difficulty of getting alongside the attempt was finally aban- ment of his bakery at about seven atiretb he tated ee NN Aa 1 In OE NAP hundred dollars\u2019 damages to butter, cheese, maccaroni and goods f like nature.Mr.T.E.Bar beau, chemist, thinks he has suffered a hundred and fifty dollars damage.Mr.E.Cadieux, hotel-kgeper, claims that 10,000 cigars, valued at $360, have bean spoiled, besides damage to liquors.There was three feet of water in the basement of the front store of Mr.A.Couture, next door.The cellar of Messrs.M.Saxe & Sons, clothiers; A.Gagnon & Co., Mr.Lanctot\u2019s restaurant, and Mr.Arthur Ware's residence, the latter on St.Charles Borromee street, were also flooded.Scveral evening meetings both in the city and outlying municipalities had to be postponed owing to the incessant downpour from about 7 p.m.to about 9 p.m.The growing crops have been flooded and washed out in some low- lying places, and large quantities of earth were swept by the rain from the fields into the St.Lawrence and Ottawa Trivers.A number of reports of flooding was made at the Road Department this morning.Most of the complaints caine from residents on St.Denis and Ontario streets.The assistant city surveyor states that larger sewers are needed in both of these streets.AFFECTED THE DYNAMOS.Mr.L.A.Damour, secretary of the Fire Committee at the City Hall, stated this morning that the dynamos of the Fark and Island Railway at St.Laur ent were so seriously affected by the lightning last night that residents of :St.Laurent could not reach the city this morning till a.much Ja g x: AP aoe ARN vy EERE WASHOUT NEAR ST.ALBANS, The incoming Central Vermont train arrived in good time this morning considering that four or five miles of the track was more or.less washed out near St.Albans by the heavy rain.A large gang of men were immediately set to work t» have the track put in order during the night so as to allow the Boston train to pass over it this morning with as little delay as possible.LOSS CF THE \u2018 MAGNHILD.\u2019 DETAILS OF THE DISASTER RELATED BY ONE OF THE SURVIVORS.THE CAPTAIN AND FIVE OF HIS CREW PERISBED RATHER THAN FORSAKE THEIR VESSEL.Quebec, June 25.\u2014The survivors of the Norwegian barque \u2018 Magnhild\u2019 arrived here yesterday morning and were taken charge of by the Norwegian Consul, Mr.Schwartz.The second mate gives the following particulars of the disaster:\u2014 \u2018The \u2018 Magnhild\u2019 left Philadelphia with coal consigned to Mr.F.Gunn of this city.On June 9 and up to Monday, experienced fair weather.On that day, however, when about seventy miles north of the Bird Rocks, the ship encountered a dense fog and a strong gale from the south-east came up, raising a high sea and causing the vessel to roll heavily.The cargo shifted and the \u2018 Magnhild\u2019 careened on her beam ends.The masts were cut away.Considering the danger imminent, the crew launched the only boat remaining, but the captain refused Lan quel, as well as Baron Von Bulow, to meet.him at Kiel, and he is believed to be fully resolved to settle on the ministerial changes, probably involving the resignation of Prince Hohenlohe, before he goes north.TO-DAY IN PARLIAMENT.RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A LOAN OF FIFTEEN MILLIONS UNOPPOSED.CROW'S NEST PASS RAILWAY BILL AGAIN RFEFORE THE HOUSE.Ottawa, June 25.\u2014When the House of Commons met this morning Mr.Fielding moved a resolution empowering the government to borrow $15,000,000 at a maximum rate of three and a half percent.When the last loan bill was proposed in 1888 the government had authority to raise $26,000,000, and the bill of 1888 added $25,000,000, making a total borrowing power of $51,000,000.In 1889 it was §37,000,000 ; in 1880, $40,000,000 ; in 1804, $22,000,000 ; in 1895, $13,000,600, and in 1856 $8,000,000.* Expenditures authorized by parliament for canals and other capital items for 1897-8 amount to $7,152,000, the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass subsidy to $3,630;- 000, and treasury bills for temporary expenditures in this calculation.a few remarks fram Mr.Foster, the resolutions went through unopposed.The House went into committee of the whole on the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass railway bill.A long discussion ensued on the clause providing that if the C.P.R.Company become entitled to coal-bearing lands as a subsidy from the government of British Columbia, then the C.P.R.would convey to the Dominion 50,000 acres.Mr.Foster objected to this being conditional.It should be made absolute.Mr.Blair said that the C.P.R.would not get a dollar of subsidy unless these coal lands are acquired and 50,000 acres made over to the Dominion .Mr.Foster contended that this declaration placed the C.P.R.at the mercy of the British Columbia Southern.Mr.Blair\u2014In making this agreement we said to the C.P.R., \u2018You should secure an agreement with the British Columbia Southern for 30,000 acres of land, and unless you do you will not get the subsidy.\u201d They agreed to that, and there is no danger in making that public now, because I understand the C.P.R.has since June 18 executed a new contract between themselves and the British Columbia Southern Railway Company.Mr.Clarke Wallace had a long speech prepared cn the general question and on the prospects of British Columbia, and was still speaking when the House ad- jcurned at one o'clock.The feeling this afternoon is that all chance of a conflict between the two houses has been removed by the statement of the government in the House last night, and that business may be wound up to-morrow night, with prorogation on Monday.THE THIRD VICTIM.Bombay, June 25.\u2014A detective who has been investigating the fatal shooting to quit his ship, and five others remained with him out of a total of eighteen.| The remaining twelve got into the boat ; and shoved off, but had hardly been: gone ten minutes when they saw the ship which they had left, give a sudden lurch forward and disappear beneath the waves.This occurred about 1 p.mon Monday, and the occupants of the boat were tossed about for some twenty- four hours when they were sighted and picked up by the SR.\u2018 Antwerp.\u2019 The names of the drowned men are:\u2014Cap- tain Tolafsen; first mate, H.Hansen; steward, Hans Wickner; cook, Wilhelm Jorgensen; Alex.Sjogren, Carl Carp- pener, A.B.s.The \u2018 Magnhild\u2019 was a wooden vessel of 1,461 tons, and has been a regular trader to this port for the last thirty years.LADY ABERDEEN.Halifax, N.S., June 25 \u2014Lord and Lady Aberdeen left Halifax to-day for Quebec.The Countess will be a passenger for of Lieutenant Avyerst, a commissariat officer, and the serious wounding of Mr.Rand, plague commissioner, who were fired upon by a native while they were leaving the Governor\u2019s reception at Ga- neshkind on Tuesday evening last, has been found insensible at the bottom of a quarry hole, near the scene of the outrage.He was suffering from several wounds in the head, and is in a critical condition, NO ALLIANCE WITH CHAPLEAU.Referring to statements recently male that Lieutenant-Governor Chapleau had rendered certain valuable services to the Liberal party, the \u2018Signal\u2019 says that the true Liberals cannot forget the wrong which he did to the country and their party, now that he comes to them when he sees that the Ccrservatives are disorganized for a long time, and it adds :\u2014 \u2018We know that we are voicing the Liberal party of the district of Montreal when we declare that an alliance with England Ly the next mail steamer.that man is impossible.\u2019 a à Motengellexpeéi Ed qu Lei e Emperor bas summoned Dr.Mi- With BRITISH COLUMBIA CLOUDBURST.DAMAGE SAID TO BE WORSE THAN REPORTED.Winnipeg, June 25 \u2014Despatches from Canmore yesterday indicate that the C.P.R.losses by flood, etc, are greater than were at first supposed.During recent years much of the heavy timber which covered the sides of the monn- tains has been burnt cff, and when the cloudburst between the Gap and Castle Mountain came the steep slopes of the mountains and foot hills became chutes along which the flood rushed, swelling the rivers into a wide torrent of seething and desolating waters.Under such a mad rush the strongest abutments quivered, and fine steel bridges twisted as much as two feet out of line, while some of the smaller bridges and more exposed line of the dump were carried Quite a mtretoh of dpi WEAR CREUSICNE COLAHOTO) : the same afternoon the bridge at the fifth crossing gave out, all communication was broken between the east and west.The anthracite mines are said to be wholly submerged.Mules and horses working underground were drowned, miners were fortunate to just escape with their lives.Near Canmore the damage is very great.Approaches to the Devil's Bridge are swept out.The bridge at fifth crossing over the Bow and its pier are broken up, gnd the east end of the span is sportively swinging in the stream.The work of repairing these breaks is an enormous task to engineering skill, but a through train is expected to pass Can- more to-day.The only fatality reported from the floods occurred on Friday at Sheep Creek.Some of Linehams\u2019 men were bringing a raft of logs down the river, and one, named Ogilvie, from Lacomb, was overtaken by the filcod and drowned.DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM.\u2014 GT D RAGED IN TOPEKA LAST NICHT AND DID VERY MUCH DAMAGE.Topeka, Kansas, June 25.\u2014The worst hail-storm known in the history of Kan- sag struck this city last night.Hail stones weighing twelve to sixteen ounces stripped the trees of their foliage, smashed windows, including the finest plate- glass store fronts, cut down telegraph loans $5,000,000, making altogether $15, | and telephopa.- wires, riddled awnimgs SUE tHe \u201cCR Dos Ware Struck streets and inetantly killed and horses were knocked to their knees.| When the fury of the storm bad passed dead birds were found everywhere.Frequent and terrific lightning accompanied the storin.Topeka looks like a city that has withstood an artillery siege.There are not a dozen buildings in tne town that are not almost windowless, and many roofs were caved in.The roofs of street cars also were pierced.The damage wrought can better be imagined when it is known that the hailstones ranged in size from that of a hen's egg to that of an ostrich\u2019s egg and that thirty minutes after the storm one hail stone was picked up which measured fourteen inches in circumference.Surgeons are busy dressing the wounds of persons injured in the storm and reports of injuries continue to be received.Many were hurt in runaways.The following are among the most seriously hurt: Frank Brainard, hackmar, skull fractured; J.D.Henderson, liveryman, skull fractured; Roy White, leg broken in a runaway; Mors.Mary Hughes, arm broken in a runaway ; R.E.Lee, bad scalp wound; Miss Anna Fenton, head cut; Fred.Hellock, head cut.tr AUTONOMY FOR CUBA.SAGASTA SAYS SPAIN WILL GRANT IT.London, June 25.\u2014A special despatch from Madrid says that at a meeting of the Liberal Club last evening Senor Se- gasta, the Liberal leader, read the new manifesto of the Liberal party on the Cuban question, which proposes to guar antee autonomy, sincere and thorough, directed by a trustworthy and humane civilian agent.It declares that the closing of parliament compels the Liberal party to appeal to the nation direct.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 THE JUBILEX POSTAGE STAMPS.Ottawa, .Tune 25.\u2014Iaquiry having been made at the Post-Office Department as to whether the jubilee postage stamps would continue good as postage for a limited period only, it has been officially stated that the jubilee stamp will remain valid for postage purposes so long as they may continue in circulation.They will not, however, be redeemed by the department, a distinction being drawn in this respect between them and the ordinary postage stamps.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 HAD HIS NECK BROKEX., Cowansville, Que., June 25.\u2014A young man of about nineteen years of age, named Willie Mandigo, son of Mr.W.H.Mandigo of Gilman\u2019s Corner, a small place a few miles east of here, was accidentally killed on Wednesday.He with some other men was going to work on the roads and got into a friendly scufle with one of his companions.The latter accidentally twisted Mandigo\u2019s neck to the extent of breaking it.QUE Wo LIYE] THE CENTURY\u2019S PROGRESS PAN-AMERICAN XXPOSITION COMPANY WILL ILLUS, TRATE IT.BY MEANS OF AN EXPOSITION AT LASALLE TWO YEARS HENCE.Albany, N.Y., June 25.\u2014Articles of incorporation of the Pan-American Exposition Company were filed here acd in Buffalo to-day.A meeting of the board of directors was held at the Transportation Club in New York this afternoon to effect an organisation.The Pan- American Exposition Company, as stated in the articles of incorporation, \u2018is formed for the purpose of promoting and material progress, of the new world dur ing the nineteenth century, the exposition to be held at some suitable spot on the Niagara frontier in the State of New York, and for other purposes.\u2019 It has been decided to hold this ex: position in 1899, commencing May 1, and running for a period of six months, and the site selected is at Lasalle, on the Niagara river, at the line of the City of Niagara Falls.A location has been secured on Cayuga Island which contains about a hundred and seventy-five acres, and is accessible within a few minutes\u2019 ride for people coming from Buffalo, as well as Niagara Falls, _\u2014 ROYAL SOCIETY\u2019S OFFICERS.MR.MARCHAND ELECTED PRESIDENT AND DR.BOURINOT RE-ELECTED SECRETARY.Halifax, N.S., June 25.\u2014The Royal Society of Canada closed its annual meeting to-day after electing Mr.Marchand, Premier of Quebec, president.The Hon.Mr.Marchand, on being conducted to the chair, expressed his thanks for the dignity and honor conferred on him.The THE HON.F.G.MARCHAND, New President of the Royal Society of Canada.new vice-president is the Hon.T.C.Keefer, K.M.G.Dr.Bourinot was reelected secretary and Dr.James Fletcher, treasurer.Prof.Cox of Me- Gill, and Speaker Edgar of the Dominion Commons, were elected Fellows of tha society.TROUBLE AMONG GLASS WORKERS.Chicago, June 25.\u2014All the manufac tories of window and flint glass, together with ninety-five percent of the green glass establishments in the United States will shut down at midnight next Wednesday, and it is not unlikely they may remain closed for the largest period in the history of the industry.The window glass blowers and gatherers have called a mass meeting, to be beld in Cleveland on July 6.They will then formulate their demands, which will be for wage advances of not less than fifteen percent and many manufacturers believe they will reach twenty-five percent.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 RUSSIA AND HAWAII London, June 25.\u2014The St.Petersburg correspondent of the \u2018Morning Post\u2019 says the \u2018Novoe Vremya' protests vig- crously against the action of the United States as to Hawaii, which, it adds, may soon be followed by an attempt to annex Cuba.\u2018Europe,\u2019 says the \u2018Novoe Vremya,\u201d \u2018 has every reason to oppose the strengthening of the United States in the new world and must \u2018be readv to support Spain if she is threatened with the loss of Cuba.\u2019 FAIR AND COOLER.Meteorological Office, Toronto, Ont., June 25.11 a°m.\u2014The following are the maximum and minimum temperatures: Kamloops, 84 \u201454;

and ; \u201c Resolved, That commercial organization in other cities be requested to take up this subject and use their influence | to improve our business relations in this direction.\u2019 \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 AN INDIAN ROMANCE.\u2018PICTURE EYES CAPTURES THE REPRESENTATIVE OF AN ENGLISH | SYNDICATE AT BISMARCK, N.D.Bismarck, N.D., June 25.\u2014The mar- ringe of Thomas D.Cronan, representing an English syndicate, which sent hin here three years ago, was the culmination of a pretty romance in which Pie- ture Eyes, a Sioux Indian girl, is the crown jewel.More than two years ago young Cronan, an educated Englishman, and man of the world, rode over to Me- dora and found a mob surrounding the jail and clamoring for the life of an alleged Indian horse thief, while kneeling before them and pleading more with looks and tears than words, was the Indian\u2019s daughter, Picture Eyes.Cronan\u2019s eloquence saved the Indian, who proved an alibi, and for ten packages of tobacco Cronan bought off Four Toes, the girl's affianced husband.He then sent Picture Eyes to the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa., and she finishéd her education at a seminary in St.Paul, Minn.Last evening she became his bride._\u2014 THE DESCHATELETS MURDER CASE.Ottawa, Ont., June 25.\u2014The trial of Didace Turpin for the murder of John Deschatelets in one of the Edwards lumber shanties, on the North Nation river, last year, commenced at the: Hull Assizes to-day.Turpin was tried last fall before a magistrate at Papineauville, acquitted on the ground that he did the killing in self-defence, but there was doubt as to the magistrate\u2019s jurisdiction and the accused was rearrested.Turpin, who was cook in the shanty, stabbed Deschatelets in a quarrel.The evidence so far is to the effect that Deschatelets, a bigger and stronger man than Turpin, struck the latter without provocation while Turpin was peeling potatoes, and the latter retorted with a blow of the knife he had in his hand, piercing Des- chatelet's heart.A MISSISSIPPI LYNCHING.Jackson, Miss, June 25.\u2014A negro named Mosely, who killed a farmer named John Strong, near Crystal Springs, Miss, a few days ago, and who was arrested at that place yesterday and confined in jail, was lynched by a mob there at 9.50 o'clock this morning.The negro had been guarded by a hundred men since yesterday and two calls for owing to the absence of Governor Mec- Laurin and the fact that it was impossible to establish communication with Lieutenant-Governor Jones, who is at his home in Woodville, the troops did not start for the scene until this morning when the order was received.The troops were stopped as they were boarding the train.pean CANADIAN S FOR SAN FRANCISCO.Toronto, Ont., June 25.\u2014The Canadian Christian Endeavorers have finally de cided to send delegates to the big convention in San Francisco next month.About fifty will leave here next Tuesday morning.They have chartered a special car and it will be handsomely decorated, the red, white and blue and the Union Jack being conspicuous.tf SONS OF TEMPERANCE.CONCLUDING SESSIONS YESTERDAY.The concluding meetings of the fifty- third annual session of the National Division Sons of Temperance were held yesterday afternoon and evening.Bro.Benj.R.Jewell reported on behalf of the Committee on the propagation of the Order, and Bro.W.H.Armstrong on \u2018behalf of the Committee on Legislation presented an exhaustive report of the temperance legislation effected by the legislatures of the various states and provinées of North America during the past year.Bro.Eavenson reporting for the Committee on the State of the Order, recommended a correspondence system whereby every member leaving a state or province would be provided with introductory letters to the branches of the order situated at his destination.He also mentioned that the apparent small decrease in membership showing in the reports from the Most Worthy Patriarch and Scribe had been more than made up for by gain made since the drawing up of the reports.The finances of the order were in a flourishing condition, the year having been entered on with a deficit and a substantial balance being now on the right side.A recommendativn emanating from Bro.W.H.Orr on behalf of the Committee on Publication, that an edition of the ritual be issued in the Swedish language, was adopted.During the afternoon session Bro.Bush- ell, of Washington State, gave an account of the order and of temperance work generally on the Pacific coast, and the business of the session was pleasantly varied by two excellent recitations by Bro.W.H.Seymour.Among the new members granted seats in the National Division on the occasion af its fifty-third annual session were the following: J.V.McLeod, Elizabeth, N.J.;

of being an inmate of a disorderly house on St, Urbain street.The woman is known as the terror of the police.When sober she is quiet and fairly well behaved; but when drunk ashe is a demon.It never takes less than flve policemen to subdue her.She got out à month ago from the female jail after serving eighteen months for assaulting a constable.On one occasion she was so violent that the police in removing her from No.5 station to headquarters had to sew her up in a huge canvas bag and in that condition had to be driven to No.1.On another occasion she and a woman named Martha Byron were confined at headquarters and managed to climb up to the second tier of ceils.When the officer in charge came to send them over to the Recorder's Court there was no trace of them to be found and a general alarm was sent out.Finally, getting tired of being in hiding, they showed themselves, much to the rellef cf the police.Although only twenty- eight years of age the woman has been in Jalil twelve times.pe A CONSTABLE MULCTED.Judge Charland rendered judgnient this morning in the case of Chs, W.Lawrence v8.A.Acheson.This was an action of damages taken against a constable for false arrest.The plaintiff complained that Aclie- son had taken out a warrant against him on the ground of interferencc while the constable was engaged jn the execution of his duties.Lawrence was lodged ih a cell for gome hours, and when his trial eame on afterwards, he was acquitted of the charge.Ilence the present action.The whole trouble teemed to arise out of remonstrah- ces made by Lawrence to Acheson whom he accused of cruel treatment to a horse.The Court held that the arrest was not justified and rendered judgment in favor of plaintiff for $160 damages.ela NOTES AND NOTICES.Geo.H.Kent,

at Messrs.Crathern & Caver- hill's .warehouse.\" Mr, Strange took his coat and vest off to finish his work, and when he put them on again the articles mentioned were missing, Acting Detectives Coleman, Samson and Despault, were derailed on\u2018tho case with'the result that last evening one Edward Burns, of Grand Trunk street, was arrested accused of the theft.On searching his house the property was discovered hidden in the cellar.A roll of carpet was also found, which had been stolen from Messrs.Crathern & Cavarhill's premises.When arraigned in the Police Court this morning the

and people in that state are angrily declaring that the new gold districts are the territory of the United States.If, as stated, the districts have be:n surveyed and laid out by officials of the Ontario Government, the Americans will find that there is no ground for an international dispute.Fortunately for both Canada and the United States, the treaty between Great Britain and the United Sates laying down the boundary in that country has annexed to it well-drawn maps of the whole region, and on these maps the frontier line is plainly and unmistakably marked.well as the treaty, are signed by the commissioners of both nations, and copies of them are on file at Washington and London, as well as at Toronto.It is, no doubt, very vexatious to Americans to find that all new discoveries of gold cn this continent are just across the frontier in Canada, but so it is, and there is no use in kicking about it.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 These maps, as The temperanee progress of England during the Victorian era would seem, as judged by national festivities given to the poor, to be frem greg orgies to a \u2018reasonable allowance\u2019 of beer.It was at first intended to carry on the dinners given at the instance of the Princess of Wales to the poor on temperance prineiples, as the common expression is, but at the solicitation of the Lady Mayoress the reasonable allowance was added.The result was certainly in contrast with the time when the idea in the minds of the gentry of making the poor happy was making them drunk.So far as appears, the people were really made happy by the liberal dinners furnished them, which would not have been the result in the case of most of them under the old order and which is in great contrast to the terrible result of unlimited drink on the day when Russia\u2019s rejoicing was turned into woe.Whether the giving of drink at all was in harmony with the views of the majority of the subscribers to these dinner funds we cannot say.Certainly, many of those who care moat for the poor would deplore it greatly, and these would be |n vain asked for subscriptions for a like use again.On the other hand, very many of the donors would no doubt approve of the course pursued.They could not well do otherwise, as they re- gerd alcoholic drink as an essential part of their own festivities.The moral effect of withholding drink would certainly have been good, inasmuch as drink has always immoral effects, but the moral effect would have been greatly reduced by the feeling the poor would have had that their entertainers were more strict for them than for themselves.Yet even in spite of this disability on the part of .- hat 2 Gé a LE PA SS BE ai be Loa ue RES Pa many of the subscribing classes, we do not think that such a mode of entertaining the poor could have been carried through in many cities on this continent.The matter would have found itself sufil- ciently in the hands of men who could with a good grace offer harmless beverages to make that system the natural one to pursue.The time is mot distant when such a public lesson to the poor on the side of the great cause of all the poverty will be impossible in any part of the empire.\u2014perm THE GOVERNMENT'S DUTY.The government should not, and we are confident will not, hesitate or delay a moment in sanctioning, adopting and carrying through all the measures which the Harbor Board consider necessary to facilitate navigation betwean Montreal and Quebec while obstructed by the strike of the pilots.In fact, the government 18 under moral obligation to pre- vert the trade and navigation of the port from suffering from the revolt of the pilots, who are virtually government officials or agents.The government requires that ships shall pay pilotage fees, and collects those fees; it appoints, through agents, the pilots, whc alone are allowed to profit by those fees.When those pilots refuse their services, therefore, the government, which collects the fees all the same, is bound to furmish pilots.The number of pilots has hitherto been limited to fifty-five, because only that number was necessary for the work.They have all struck, however, and it is impossible to appoint other pilots unless the rule is abolished.The rule has been abolished by the harbor commission, but the abolition must be sanctioned Ly the government and the rule admitting the appointment of other pilots confirmed by the government before they become legal.At the urgent request of the ship-owners, the harbor commission has requested the government immediately to increase the number of buoys and lights marking the channel between Quebec and Montreal, end the chairman of the harbor commission has been to Ottawa to urge this improvement upon the government.It will, if carried out, it is elaimed, enable ordinary river helmsmen to steer ships up and down the river without much risk, at least during the period of high: \u201cthey merely intend to make a temporary There is every reason w hy, thig , water.government should carry out this pro; as quickly as possible.One vessel in charge of an unlicensed pilot has gone ashore ; the vessel is probably in no danger, and will be got off all right, buf .whatever damage is caused will, in all probability, be a claim upon the government, which will, in fact, be expected to make good all the direct loss caused by the strike of the pilots.The marine underwriters have very considerately and very wisely, both in their own interests and in those of the ship-owners and comy merce of the port, decided not to make samy discrimination against vessels which are moved under unlicensed pilots so long as these pilots have the approbation of the harbor commission.The harbor commission ought to have the power at Denia.orce, however, to license all men whom they consider qualified.eller.A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS.The British constitution is not one of iron to be tugged at and pulled about by those who handle it.Its strength has ever been in the loyal tenderness with which amid all the virile and rude contentions of British parties the fiercest fces have vied with each other in protecting it from strain.Among Britons of every stripe precedent has been had in reverence beyond law, and established fic- tiens are as sacred as the very person of the sovereign.The British nations pay as extravagant outward homage to their sovereign as though she was a despot controlling their lives with her sceptre and feel for her more real reverence than they would if she ruled ; and the sovereigns have through many generations submitted with pride to the humiliation of asking leave of the Lord Mayor when they entered London.American writers who have come under the glamor of these rejoicings have, in expressing their unfeigned wonderment at the frantic joy of the Britich empire, which they have been taught to regard as oppressed and tyrannized over, all labored painfully to show that the love of the British was for the woman and not for the queen.At bottom they are wrong.The Queen is aur fetish, just as the flag is theirs, which they make their school children worship every morning.That she is a real, warm-blooded, loving, metherly person makes our fetish a thousandfold the better of the two no doubt.We in Canada, if we wish to rejoice in the liberties which are wrapped up im ERAS ET Lp TE this inherited constitution, must show it like respect.This we have not always done.When Mr.Letellier de St.Just dismissed his ministers because they had confessed to him to being helpless in the hands of railway rings he was acting entirely within the bounds and principles of the constitution, and certainly in accordance with righteousness.Nevertheless, he did what no eovereign had done for a long time and what it is questionable if any sovereign would at that date have dared to do.His act was a strain upon current practice and ideals, and was therefore an error.He should have left the people to dismiss their erring ministers through the legislature.On the other hand, when Lord Lorne, at the demand of his advisers, dismissed the lieu- tenant-governor who so acted he put a worse strain upon the constitution, which demanded a far stronger reason than anything Mr.Letellier had done for bu- miliating a representative of royalty.No one, however, holds J.ord Lorne responsible for that act.Tis extreme unwillingness to do it was made abundantly plain.He only did it becruse to refuse to do so would force him into the position of refusing the advice of his ministers, and practically dismissing them, as Mr.Letellier bad done, while they had the support of a parliamentary majority.The whole blame of that proceeding lay with Sir John Macdonald and his government, which in turn acted under pressure fron the dismissed party at Quebec, and never gloried in their act.We find ourselves to-day in danger of falling into similar errors.\u2018The Senate has, we think, made a political blunder, as well as a constitutional mistake, in using its party majority to obstruct a government measure which was largely an administrative one.In doing this it confronted an impasse, and created circumstances which make some change in its own constitution a practical as well as a logical necessity.On the other hand, if the government and the House of Commons proceeded to act upon their bargains in spite of the failure {o obtain the ratification implied in all such bargains it would be a still worse blunder.This Sir Richard Cartwright and Sir Oliver Mowat have been careful to say has not been done.They explain that and, experimental arrangement, so as, if possible, to prepare the way for a new bargain which the Senate may #ce its way to accept.To ignore the Senate\u2019s right would be a fatal mistake.Some change in the constitution of the Senate is contemplated by the government.The way jo bring this about is to let the Senate go on courting popular disfavor.If the will of the popular house, right or wrong, is frequently thwarted by the Senate, the popular resentment would soon render comparatively easy whatever change Sir Oliver Mowat may have in his fruitful mind.On the other hand, it would not be difficult to pose the Senate as the injured martyr whose constitutional efforts to protect the people against administrative jobs have been unconstitutionally ignored and to throw the popular majority into its arms.When the House of Lords makes an appeal to the people by throwing out a government measure it is sometimes in spite of the popular jealousy of that irresponsible house sustained at the polls, to the diecomfiture of the party which it opposes, and to its own rehabilitation.It is now the Senate\u2019s turn to make a mistake by throwing out the supply bill, as threatened by Senator Miller.To prevent so appalling a result this Intercolonial estimate is going to be sent up separate from the g2n- eral supply bill.The Senate would seem, however, to \"be well within its powers in appointing am investigation into this deal.We are certain that whatever the.government may think of this, the rank and file of the Liberal party would not resent such a proposal.If the deal is all right it will stand investigation.If it will pot, the sooner the Liberals in the country know it the better.HOPE 2 THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.Jubilee festivities have drawn the most devoted business man from his work this week, and trade has been well nigh lost sight of.Sixty years ago this Canada of ours was but a little place, disturbed by rebellion, separated for lack of good communication.Manitoba, our great wheat country, had only four thousand acres under cultivation, and the rest of the North-West was a wilderness.Canada\u2019s population has during the reign increased fivefold ; Montreal now exports and imports in a month as much as all Canada then did in a year ; bank deposits have increased from about two millions to over two hundred millions ; the river channel to Quebec has been f deepened from eleven to twenty-seven and a half feet ; the canals from four feet to nine; the St.Lawrence above Montreal has been rendered navigable for vessels to the great lakes ; the great lake trade has risen from little or nothing to exceed the sea coasting trade of the United States, and in it Canada has had her part.Our banking system dates late in the Queen\u2019s reign.The bank statement for May came to hand during the jubilee excitement.It shows the note cireulation to have increased $1,000,000 since the close of April.Public demand deposits have declined about $400,000, and savings deposits show an increase of $2,600,000, almost altogether in this province.The shipments now going forward are turning the balances with Great Britain in our favor, the amount due there by our banks being reduced by about $1,700,000, while the amount due by institutions there has increased $700,000, reaching figure of $8,981,000.the large There is but little | change in the holdings of specie and legal tender notes.The holdings of notes and cheques of other banks, however, show an increase of $1,700,000, which more than accounts for the increased circulation.Confidence seems restored in the United States, if the increase of foreign loans is to be taken as an indication, that item standing at $18,763,773, against 816,401,- 366.A further increase may possibly take place in this item should trade in Canada not revive in harmony with that of the United States.There continues to be an increase in investments in railway securities and in call loans, amounting in the latter case to $700,000.Current loans, on the other hand, show an important reduction of $4,500,000, overdue debts decreasing $200,000.Considering the statement as a whole, it would appear that Canada is not yet on a basis of confidence.The exports appear.to be fairly eatisfactory, but the falling off in current loans, with the increase in call and foreign loans and of investments in railway securities, indicates that general business is not in so large a volume as might be hoped.The conduct of the pilots in endeavoring to compel parliament to incorporate their society by \u2018tying up\u2019 the foreign trade of Montreal cannot be too deeply deplored and blamed.There are occupations which are offices of public trust quite as much as of private gains, and that of a pilot is such.There i is not much doubt that the pilots will not merely have defeated their charter by this act but have also given cause for the curtailment of the privileges they now possess.This has been a broken week on the stock exchange, but the market remained practically firm.Montreal Street Rail way was a favorite security, doubtless in view of the enormous traffic of the past few days, no fewer than seven hundred thousand people being said to have heen carried on the jubilee days.The stock opened at 217 on Wednesday and closed yesterday at 21614, nearly sixteen hundred shares selling in the two days.Royal Electric and Montreal Gas, which might also have been expected to profit from the jubilee preparations, were not active, Electric selling at 143 and Gas at 189 to 188%.There appears to be some movement in Cable stock, which opened at 171% and closed at 171.Canadian Pacific also sold to some extent, opening at 61% and closing at 6283.Toronto Street

USUAL.The committees for the coming exhibition have been appointed by the Montreal Exposition Company.The exhibition, which is the sixth annual one under the company's auspices, will be held from Thursday, Aug.19, to Saturday, Aug.28.The change in date is a new departure, which, the directors are of the opinion, will be well received by exhibitors and the public alike.Before now, exhibitions held towards the latter end of September have suffered from an unevenness of weather which has had a marked effect of an unfavorable nature upon the receipts.The directors are open to any suggestions that may tend to increase the importance and usefulness of the exhibition.Intending exhibitors are requested to make their entries at as early a date as possible, as none will be accepted after the opening of the exhibition, and as the date for closing the list will possibly be Aug.16.Entries for the annual exhibition of the Montreal Horticultural Society and Fruit- Growers\u2019 Association of the Province of Quebec,\u201d which will be held in connection with the other exhibition, will be received not later than Aug.14.The following are the committees and the names of the gentlemen of

Commissioners assume no responsibility.(Signed) ALEXANDER ROBERTSON, Competent Men May Get Branches To-Morrow.NINE PILOTS TO BE TRIED TO-DAY FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT.BOATS CONTINUE TO MOVE IN AND OUT ON TIME AND WITH SAFETY.The pilots\u2019 strike still there are already signs of the inevitable ending.The pilots met yesterday at Deschambault and adjourned until to dav.The general impression is that they are becoming scared at the easy way the ships are being moved up and down, and that they will soon sue for terms.The \u2018Memnon,\u2019 of the Elder, Dempster Line, left early this morning, and the \u2018Con- cordia,\u2019 \u2018 Btraits of Menai,\u201d \u2018 Arlington,\u2019 \u2018 Turret Bay,\u2019 \u2018 Cape Breton\u2019 and \u2018 Sala- manca,\u201d have arranged to leave during the day.At the meeting of the Harbor Commis sioners yesterday, the underwriters con- veved their acquiescence in the action of the commissioners and the steamship men.The letter of Pilot Beaudet, practically commencing the strike, was produced by Mr.John Torrance, as follows: \u2014 lingers, but Quebec, June 18, 1897.The Agent Dominion Line, Qusbec: Dear Bir,\u2014I beg to notify you that from to-night the Montreal pilots will not take charge of vessels.P.BEAUDET.At the same meeting it was shown that the fifty odd men now on strike have earned the sums as under:\u2014 1889 .$56,683 1883 .69,307 1890 LL.56,231 1894 .62,652 1861 .56.811 1895 57,756 1892 .62,900 1896 65 534 The return also shows that the fourteen tour de role pilots received each an average of $665.His Worship Mayor Wilson-Smith moved, seconded by Mr.Hodgson, that by-law No.99 be repealed.This by-law reads as follows: \u2014 Until the Commissioners, to meet the requirements of the trade, shall, with the consent of the Governor-in-Council, pass a bylaw to that effect, the number of pilots shall not be increased beyond 55.The motion was carried on a division, Messrs.L.G.Morin and À.Racine dissenting.Mr.Thomson then proposed, seconded by Mr, Lemay, the following to replace by-law 98:\u2014 Any person having undergone zn examination before the commissioners alone, or with such assistance as the commissioners may deem necessary, may receive a llcensa from the comriissioners to act as a pilot within the Montreal pilotage district.This was carried, but it will have to receive the assent of the Governor-in- Council before becoming law.The meeting then adjourned until this afternoon, when nine of the pilots will be tried for breach of contract.At two o'clock, p.m, to-morrow, the board will sit for the purpose of examining applicants for branches.The Marine Underwriters met yesterday and again this morning.At the meeting yesterday the following resolution was adopted:\u2014 That the secretary be instructed to advise the steamship companies that no vessel during the strike of the pilots be moved from the port of Montreal unless accompanied by a competent man, such man being first approved by the Montreal Harbor Commissioners.That Ps reguiar pilotage is an established custom from this port, the marine underwriters deem such temporarily accepted men necessary to make the vessel seaworthy.That it is the intention of the underwriter3 not to discriminate against vessels during the strike, on the assumption that such qualified men were accompanying the vessels.At the meeting of the shippers this morning, besides a lot of routine work, the following was drafted and sent to tke Hon.Sir I.H.Davies: \u2014 Shipping interests urge importance of immediate sanction of by-laws submitted by Harbor Board respecting pllotage.Also urge immediate action respecting the extra buoys asked for, and wiil appreciate your prompt reply.The Harbor Commissioners of Quebec have sent the following to Mr.Robertson, secretary of the Montreal Harbor Commissioners: \u2014 Dear Sir,\u2014I have the honor to transmit you herewith copies of the regulationg regarding the anchoring of vessels in the harbor of Quebec, and trust that you will see that all the pilots, especlally those new to the river, are supplied with the same.The by-law says that 1st.No vessel shall anchor in that portion of the harbor ef Quebec bounded on the north by a line drawn from the south-east corner of the wharf the properiy of the estate of the late James Gibb, commonly Known as Crawford's wharf.to the southwest corner of the wharf, the property of the estate Lagueux, commonly known as Barras\u201d Wharf, Levis, and oun the south by a line drawn from the centre of the Champlain Market Hall, to the north-west corner of the wharf, the property of the estate of the late D.I.Young.commonly known as Simpson's Wharf, Levis, being a distance of about four hundred English yards or one-fifth of a sea mile.2nd.All steamships and all sailing vessels in tow in passing up or down through the harbor on the rorth (Quebec) side of the river.while between the Mariner's Chapel and the entrance to the Louise Docks, shall keep out at least one-half \u20ac%) cable's length from the front of the wharves.3rd.The master, owner or pilot in charge of any vessel or any person whatsoever, who shall infringe the present by-law, shall incur for every such offence a penalty not exceeding forty ($40.60) dollars, The following will give an idea of the competency of the temporary men employed and the action of the Harbor Commissioners relating to them:\u2014 Harbor Commissioners of Montreal.\u2014Ex- tract from minutes of meeting held on 24th June, 1897: Mr.Ludger [Fournier having appeared before the Commissioners with various certificates, and having been ez- amined by the Harbor engineer, who reported satisfactorily, it was resolved that the Commissioners approved of him as a person It is said that a persistent attempt is being made to induce the Quebec pilots to join their Montreal confreres, but it is not expected that thé strikers will succeed in persuading the Quebec men to ruin their present season and future prospects.Some of the shippers say their vessels are being piloted very carefully at present, considering that the men employed have not had as much experience as the branch piiots.Those that are doing the navigating now are termed \u2018tour-de-role\u2019 men, who are said to be gaining confi dence in thamselves and likely to improve every trip they make.A steamship agent said this morning, \u2018If the branch pilots remain much longer on strike they will have to resort to some nther branch of business for a living.\u2019 The tour-de-role pilots have not all gone on strike, and those that have not are taking the place of the branch pilots that have had regular employment on the steamships carrying the mails and on other vessels making regular trips to and from this port.This gives the \u2018tour- de-role\u2019 men a better chance of making more money than they have been doing heretofore, as they have not had regular employment.Each man took his turn when called upon to pilot a vessel, consequently those of them that have not gone on strike have had regular employment since the branch pilots struck work.The old adage, \u2018It is an ill wind that does not blow somebody good\u2019 is very applicable in this case.A report comes from Quebec that the pilots\u2019 strike is not retarding busincss very much there.Three Allan steamships arrived there yesterday, and as soon as the Quebec and western cargoes had been discharged Pilot Garneau, who took down the steamship \u2018Sarmatian,\u2019 boarded the \u2018Peruvian\u2019 and started for Montreal, the \u2018Brazilian,\u2019 also of the Allan line, following.The Allan line officers are loud in their praise of the knowledge displayed by Pilot Garneau of the river, and expressed the opinion that the commissioners wculd do well to grant him his branch.Quebec, June 25.\u2014At a meeting of the Montreal pilots held at Deschambault today it was unanimously resolved to stand firm in their present attitude, and it was decided that each pilot should remain at his home.DEATH OF MRS.ISAACSON.RESULT OF THE CORONER'S INQUEST.The coroner's inquiry into the death of the late Mrs.A.G.Isaacson, who sustained a fractured skull in a fall from an open St.James street car on Friday night, having jumped off to help her husband, who had fallen, was continued this morn jury meeting at the Court House.Mr.Philip Sheridan represented the family, being accompanied by Mr.Greenshields as counsel.The Street Railway Company represented by Mr.E.N.St.Jean.The jury were composed of Messrs.Henry S.Mussen, foreman ; Lindsay Pillar, Alfred Boire, Wm.A.Nichols, Geo.C.Graham, John T.Smith, IF.W.Rowell, Wm.Kenwood, F.Le- febvre, B.1.Beard, A.B.Chaffee, Wm.Garland and Dr.Gustave Laviolette.The conductor of the car, Anthime Gauthier, of 898 St.Dominique street, who has been two years with the company, declaved that every passenger had got aboard before he left Windsor street, where they had waited, as near as he could judge, for three minutes.The car was on time.In his opinion Mr.Isaacson had been on the car and got oft again.It was about eighty feet from the crossing that he fell, and on seeing the accident witness immediately called to the motorman to stop the car, which was done within thirty feet.Mrs.Isaacson jumped off and fell on the roadway only about twelve feet distant from her husband.Joseph Mangui, 718 Drolet street, the motorman of the car, said that he stopped the car when called to reverse the power.They had waited for passengers on the corner a minute or perhaps a minute and a quarter.Mr.Isaacson's account of the affair was that the car started just as he put m= hand on the rail and was about ro step on.Ile ran along exnerting every instant that the car would stop, as tne passengers were shouting for this to be done, but instead the motor was threwn further open and he was jerked to the ground.When running along some one arked him to let go.He replied, \u201cI can\u2019t let go; don\u2019t vou see I'm blind.\u2019 Mr.John Johns, of the Northern Fleeing, the were tric Co., corroborated Mr.Tsancson's stetement that he had not touched the car with his foot when it started.In supposititious contradiction to this, two wilnesses, one of whom had sat on the front of the car and the other on back, both with their backs turned, deposed that they had not seen Mr.Isnnc- son attempting to get on the car.After discussing the evidence for the best part of an hour the jury found ihat Mrs.Isancson\u2019s death was indirectlv due to the negligence of the conductor in not seeing that his passengers were properly landed before starting the car, but which regligence did not amount to n crime.It was recommended that all of the open cars be equipped with two steps, and that conductors be instructed to exercise special care in dealing with people of elderly years, the lame and the blind.chan, xv Le tg air 2 WT ER A RE reas pce ten pc

Constable Desautels was on his way to the Central Station by way of Bleury street, when he witnessed an unfortunate accident at the corner of La- gauchetiere street.A cyclist was scorching down Bleury street at the rate of about eighteen miles an hour and as he was passing Lagauchetiere street a woman with a jug of milk in her hand happened to be crossing the thoroughfare.The front wheel of the machine struck the woman and knocked her to the ground.In the fall her head struck heavily against the asphalt and inflicted a se vere wound which rendered her uncon- seious.She was removed to a drug store near by and subsequently taken to the (General Hospital where she was properly taken care of.In the meantime the constable endeavored to stop the hi- cyclist, but the latter quickly mounted his wheel and made off.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 PRESENTATIONS.THE REV.8.J, HUGHES AND MRS.HUGHES HONORED.A number of friends in the Eastern Methodist Church, Ottawa, waited upon the

in the wheat market here with having cornered the July wheat market.There are less than 20,- 000,000 bushels of July wheat in the United States visible.Three millions of this is in Minnesota out of the market for grinding.Sixty percent of the Chicago supply ls held in elevators owned by Armour, or those closely allied with him, and accord- Ing to reportg these holders have been rapidly increasing.With prospects of light receipts everywhere until the new crop bo- gins to move, which will not be until August, many operators are wondering where the 12,000,000 to 20,000,600 bushels of

Yes, that was what Pet would be if they had her.She would x to school and learn how to play on the piano, and wear pretty dbesses, and sit in the parlor behind lace curtains and\u2014be a lady! That summed it all up.Pet might be a lady if Baby Belle as not found.Would they find her ?Nat for months, perhaps years .and they would not know.Jane had helped clean in the warehouse the summer before.She had been down in the basement among the coal bins with the janitor\u2019s wife.\u201cMy! what a lot of coal!\" Jane had exclaimed.\u2018That bin ain't been opened this three vear,\u2019 the woman replied.\u2018That's queer !\u2019 t var They buy coal when it's cheap,\u2019 ex- tained the janitor's wife.\u2018They're rich and they can.Some of them Lins a emptied every year an\u2019 some ant unless coal gets dear.My man Fav3 lle wishes poor folks could do that wav.It's poor folk\u2019s luck to have to buy when things is dear.Seems like the world was made for the rich.\u2019 \u2018The world was made for the rich!\u2019 THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.That was it.That accounted for things ! Ruch thoughts as that had been Jane's constant companions ever since she had had mind enough to think at all.Everything gecd was for the rich.And now\u2014it was in her power to make l\u2019et rich.To give her a home, friends, a name, an education; to give Pet all the good in life that she had missed.On the other hand it would take from her the one rav of light there was in her life.How could she live without Pet ?Life was so hard at best.But\u2014there was alwavs the river.Nobody eould force her to live any longer than she chose.She could die whenever it was less trouble than to live, she thought, with a proud defiance of \u2014she scarcely knew what! The world was all wrong.There was no place for her in it.She would be glad to be out of it.The bitter tears trickled slowly down her cheeks.She was so weak and tired.The rcom was so utterly cheerless and desolate with its odd bits of broken furniture, a rickety stove, a more rickety table, a broken-backed chair, a wornout straw mattress on the floor in one corner, half-covered by a very ragged and dirty quilt\u2014like her life, utterly despicable, she thought.She was sitting in the broken chair with Pet in her lap an hour after her return from the hospital.Pet noticed the tears and a sudden thrill of affection ran through her little heart.She put up her tiny hand with a caressing motion and said, \u2018liebe mutter,\u2019 as she had heasd her little German playmates do.Pet's language was a curious mhtur?of German and English with now and then a word of Italian caught from her companions on the lower floor.Jane pressed the child to her heart.\u2018No, no, Pet!

semblance of a reference to the Queen was the occasion for an outburst of cheers.Mr.Tucker in his address, spoke of of the work done during the past session, and gave the different forms credit He said it had been a year of for it.hard work both for teachers and pupils, but happily both had come out triumphant, and well deserved the holidays now ensuing.After thanking his staff for the energy and loyalty to the school ghown by each member, the principal spoke briefly of the extent of this British Empire, which doubtless the would have preferred hearing two weeks since, as it was the subject on which the prize composition was written.The principal went on to praise literature as a study, more particularly in regard to that of one\u2019s own country, and then, touching on the jubilee, said that in commemoration of the event, he was going to present to each pupil a souvenir, which remark was loudly applauded.He then concluded an able address by calling for three cheers for the Queen, which were heartily given.Miss B.McAllen gave a spirited recitation of a patriotic ode, after which a number of the young ladies of the institution sang \u2018 Rule Britannia.\u2019 Prizes for the athletic sports were then distributed, when Mr.Tucker, wishing the pupils most happy holidays, closed the proceedings by calling on all to sing \u2018God Bave the Queen,\u201d little Miss \u2018 Pussy ' Tucker leading with the first verse.So ended another successful year for \u2018 Tucker's.\u2019 PRIZE LIST.Sixth Form (4rls\u2014Emily Noyes, first gen.rof., Latin, Greek, algebra, geometry, ar., ranch, history, grammar, spelling and conduct;
