\u2018London, Eng MAES member of Pistæeb'a Patent Léghting Company, though.quite a young man, has seen a great desl of the world.South American revolutions are 8 com- = Las te en \u20ac ne RANGS a litsle bloodth pirsty r\u2019) This is how he puts it.He has wandered about Australia, China and Japan, and could entertain you for hours at a stretch with his experiences\u2019 and observations.Mr.Sexton recently paid a vieit to the Philippine Islands, and saw a good deal that was most interesting.Being in Montreal in the interests of his company, he was good enough to-day to recall the prominent features of his visit.The Filipinos are a gentle people although they behaved with the greatest savagery to the Spanish priests at the termination of Spanish rule.\u2018I was at Cavite, which is an island situated in relation to Manilla proper somewhat as St.Helens island is situated in relation to Montreal, and was taken to see the churches which the Filipinos had wrecked.Never was destruc: tion more complete.All the ornaments, the altars, the very flooring was torn up.Moet sinister of all, I saw blood splashes Asking the meaning of informed that these marks.were made by the decapitated heads of priests\u2019 which the mob threw against the on the walls.this, 1 wes wall.them.This work aû ment poses: Spr fips pelled to draw.«erts like the bullocks.\u2019 During his stay in Manilla Mr.Saxton fraternized alike with the Americans and The situation was very like comic opera.The rebels, as they were called, though patriots is thé name which they give themselves, would, according to regulation, leave their employment and get drill; then they would return to their work, and willingly serve their American masters, whom they might be

ilMeeling between the Americans and the netives.\u2018At firet, as you know,\u2019 seid Mr.Sax- ton, \u2018there was the best of good feeling.Dewey, who seems to have had a level bead, recognizing that the Americans had ne force with which to fight the Spaniards, enlistel the services of the Filipinos, who certainly fought well, driving the Spaniards out.Afterwards, there shuffle at Washington end the situation changed.The i would not recognis native odbpendonc Thi wes A put another \u2018complexion uphn the, situation, and the natives I to fight their former friends, rather {han submit to & new conqueror.At the game time there -wes none of that bitterness of feeling which you might expect to find between foes.The rebels.were permitted to enter the American lines quite freely.\u2019 Mr.Saxton said that the appearance of the American army was calculated to inspire the natives with any feeling of fear\u2014rather the other way.The Spanish soldier always wore a gaudy uniform, which impressed the native mind.The American soldier came along with a pair of brown leggings, a pair of white\u2014or they should have been white\u2014 trousers, a woollen shirt, which he wore open at the neck, and the sleeves of which he rolled up if he pleased\u2014the whole being crowned by a hat of the \u2018wide-awake\u2019 species.Of course, the American soldier said: \u201cI don\u2019t care about my appearance; I am not here for show; I am here for business.\u201d But the natives were not greatly impressed, es pecially as they had not seen the American soldier fight.\u2019 As for the native soldiers, they were dressed in a material colaged like bed- ticking, while the body of the natives \u201cYou must understand that Aguinaldo, the leader, while he imprisoned over two thousend priests, whom he made labor like beasts of burden, never countenanced any violence in regard to at Cavite was an ex- of the mob, which always hated Of the two thousand priests held by Aguinaldo seventy were released after an investigation, which could discover nothing to their discredit.The rest were held #nd are still held, for aught I know, com- custom to wear the shirt outside, a Tittle starched at the Jower part front side.I asked a na, Liye once why he worn his shirt outside He replied, \u201cBecause it is r way.You are wesvring your shirt wring.\u201d Lo \u2018I was at the theatre one night, and was amused to see the orchestra all with their shirts on the outside.The conductor rose in his place; waved his baton, and as be did so \u2018the ends of his BIR 38 Ha.8 GRR ES a i } © Mr.Saxton heard many of the Ameri can volunteers saying angrily that they were making a mess of things at Washington, and that the business would never be settled, until somebody did what Dewey did at Manilla, namely, cut the cables, so that no more orders could come from Washington.Most of the volunteers,\u2014I refer to the first draft which went out to fight the Spaniards, not the Filipinos\u2014were taken from a good class west of St.Paul.Indeed, many of them occupied high positions in civil life.I have heard that the volunteers wanted to come home because they did not care to face the dangers of a hard campaign, Not so.They wanted to come home because they came out to fight the Spaniards from a patriotic motive.They lost their situations; many of them lost thousands of dollay every month through the abandoning of their business or profession.\u2018They said, \u201cWe came out to fight Spain, not the natives.This is another question altogether.The Spanish question was simple enough.Now they are mixing thinga up at Washington.We have been here seven months and we are simply loafing.The regular soldier does not mind loafing.We have our business at home.We want to get back.Let other volunteers come out and fight the natives.We did not volunteer for this work, and, in any cege, why don\u2019t they come to a definite decision at Washington, one way or the other?\u201d Mr.Saxton says that of course tle Americans are bound to win; but trans Portation ip a problem which they will erect Seri nats ini Mis When be was there these questions: had not apparently been tackled.Manilla and ths country about it was like a fan.The Americans occupied the handle of the fan; if they advanced it must be through the rice fields, which were simply waist-deep in mud.; While it might be true that few Americans were killed by the enemy, Mr.Saxton had seen the cemetery where rows of Americans were lying killed by disease.\u2018The climate of the country is unhealthy, particularly during the rainy season.The rain, by the way, comes down as though it fell out of a bucket ; then there comes up a steam ; after the steam, malarial fever ; then, death.\u2019 « It was a common trick for the rebels to capture Englishmen in the hope that the British consul, in making inquiries, would recognize Aguinaldo and the government he had formed.As the British Government refused such recognition, the British consul took care never under any circumstances to be officially cognizant of the rebels\u2019 existence.Once they cap- turéd an Englishman, and sent word to announce the fact\u2014or, rather, to say that the captive claimed to be English\u2014and would the consul make inquiry ?The latter took no notice.Then there came a telegram, with the answer prepaid, the address setting forth the official title of Aguinaldo and his republic.The con sul refused to use the telegram, but sent Ito the lines and had the captive set at liberty.When Mr.Saxton was there the rebels freely allowed the English to enter their lines, but denied this privilege to Americans.reefers HENLEY REGATTA, ape RonF SENT WF Thé name; of nl i THE RIVER THAMES A BUSY SCENE.Henley, July 4\u2014The River Thames presented an animated scene this after- not, at first, noon at the opening of the Henley vaces.There are fifty-three entries, as against fifty-four in 1318, of whom three crassed the seas, without mentioning Gaudin, who, though rowing under the Thames colors, is ambitious to carry off the Dia- mend Sculls for France.The oarsmen of the Argonaut.Rowing Club, of Toronto, now here, have already made many friends and will make a bold bid for both the Grand Challenge Cup and the Stewards\u2019 Challenge Cup.RAISED A HORNET\u2019S NEST.Paris, July 3\u2014In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M.Charles Ferry, Republican, raised a hornet\u2019s nest by moving a resolution in connection with the Workmen\u2019s Accident bill, evidently with the view of drawing out M.Millerand, Minister of Commerce, and Radical Socialist.A great uproar immediately broke out and the president of the Chamber, M.Deschanel, suspended the sitting.+ maa CAPTAIN DREYFUS.M.LABORI PAYS HIM ANOTHER VISIT AND IS MUCH PLEASED WITH THE RESULT.Rennes, France, July 4.\u2014Maitre La fus at ten o\u2019clock this morning, remain ing with him until noon.The lewyer- found the prisoner to be in.much better\u2019 spirits than even yesterday, and in the rible existence -on Devil's al nd, cor: > bined with his marvellous-recüperation of physical and mental strength since he left Cayenne, Maitre Labori saw the strongest proofs of his innocence.Counsel was almost joyful in appearance on : MAJOR CARRIERE, von .a court-martial.Dreyfus spent yesterday \u2018and this morning in studying the docwinents relat ing to the Esterhazy and\u2019 \u2018Zola trials, 4 Maitre Labori during this morning's conference explained to him the obscure points.Dreyfus was naturally.astonished at the many incidents, and at the attitude of various persons since his deportation.* : Madame and Mathieu Dreyfus are to see the prisoner this afternoon, when Maitre Labori will again visit him.Paris, July 4\u2014Madame Dreyfus, it is asserted here, is not only permitted to see her husband daily, but is allowed to attend personally to the preparation\u2018 of his meals.His memoirs, which he wrote on Devil\u2019s Island, were left there, but they will be forwarded to the government with his other effects.There is a good deal of comment upon à speech made yesterday by M.Paul Deroulède, founder of the League of Patriots, and long known as one of the most violent opponents of revision.M.Deroulède said, in substanee, that if Dreyfus should be found innocent by the new court- martial, \u2018no punishment would be sufficiently heavy, no pillory sufficiently in- famcus, for all the ministers, civil or military, who were responsible for his conviction and no honors high enough for the martyr and victim.\u2019 Late last evening it was ascertained that unless the authorities shonld direct a preliminary enquiry or the examination of Captain Dreyfus, Major Carriere, the government commissioner charged with preparation of the case against the prisoner, will merely draw up a report, which will be presented to the court- martial.THE LAPIERRE INQUEST.St.Hyacinthe, Que, July 4\u2014Coroner Blanchard was kept busy yesterday holding two inquests, one at St.Thomas d\u2019Aquin.and the other in St.Hyacinthe.At the former place a woman aged 65, wife of Mr.F.Avard, had died suddenly on Saturday.The verdict of the inquest, which was an ex parte one, was that the woman died of cerebral apo plexy.The second inquest was held at the home of the late Joseph Lapierre, who was drowned last Sabbath evening in the Yamaska.The finding in this case was that Lapierre\u2019s death was acct dental, but it was shown at the inquest that he and his companions had been drinking, hence the failure of his friends to discover his danger and assist him.STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.Tlysses, Neb., July 3.\u2014During a fierce storm last night Victer and Ira Dobson, John Amos, jr., end two unknown men were struck by lightning and killed.The team they were driving was also killed.The bodies were not found until to-day.MONTREAL.TUESDAY, JULY 4, 1899.bori paid another visit to

lengthy discussion over the question of granting a separate charter to the Scandinavian Grand Lodge for Illinois.The charter was mot granted as the necessary two-thirds vote was not secured, the vote

and the Fourth was celebrated by the singing of American and British national anthems.The report on the extension of the or der added to the enthusiasm.It showed almost double the usual contributions by .the mission fund, which had a balance of twelve hundred dollars.Amalgamation with the True Templars of South Africa, originally organized I.O.G.T., was recommended, also the round-the-world trip by the Rev.G.T.Maline.Both recommendations were uranimously adopted and the R.W.G.Twill.leave for British Columbia, thence to New Zealand, immediately.His tour will include Australia, India, Egypt, Palestine, including the organization of a Good Templar lodge at Jerusalem, Malta and Gibraltar.Two hundred and fifty dollars was voted to the \u2018luterna- tional Good Templar.\u2019 \u2014 5 DIED ON THE TRAIN.2 Buffalo, N.Y., July 1.\u2014James A.AW -| Tom, a printer, of New York city, died {on a New York Central express train \u2018| between Rochester and Buffalo early this morning.He had been confined in the Bellevue Hospital in New York for some time suffering with consumption, and wag on his way to the home of his par- egies in Exeter, Ont., when the end cdfne.At the request of his parents the body was shipped to Exeter this af- Yernoon.+ vCUSSED IN COUNCIIm- Ald.Martineau this morning presented His Worship: the Mayor with a requisition signed by himself, Aldermen Ekers, Sadler, Laporte, Gagnon and Ouimet requesting that a special meeting of the City Council be called for Friday afternoon to discuss the circumstances attending the floating of the new city loans.As several members of the council, including Aldermen Rainville, Stevenson and Am:s, are absent from the ejty, and were given to understand that there would be no meetings this week.His Worship asked the signers of the requisition to meet bim and discuss the matter, and it was agreed that no meeting should be called for Friday, but that the question of the loans should be discussed as the first order of the day at the special meeting already called for Monday.Meantime it was agreed that no further steps should be taken with regard to the issue of either loan so far as signing and issuing the bonds, which are now being printed.Before this decision was arrived at Mayor Prefontaine held a\u2019 consultation for some time with Mr.Ethier, city attorney, and the Hon.Mr.Atwater, consulting attorney.After the matter had been arranged His Worship remarked that hie opinion was.that nothing could be done to interfere with the $3,000,000 loan.The transaction had already been completed, so far as the Bank of Montreal and the city were concerned, and the money was at the city\u2019s disposition, and in fact in its pos session, and bearing interest.He considered that it wogld be simply disastrous to attempt to repudiate the trans action.There was time, however, to take action regarding the $220,000 loan.DEATH OF MR.JEFFERY PENFOLD.Death has laid its hand on another figure well-known in Montreal business circles, Mr.Jeffery Penfold, local maa-, ager of the Bank of British North America, the close of whose sixty-five years came at four p.m., yesterday, at his residence, 515 Clarke avenue, where he had been ill, as was thought not seriously, for only & week.The deceased was born in Folkestone, England.He came to Canada forty-five years ago, to enter the service of the Bank of British North America in this city, and during bis long connection with, the bank he was transferred at different times to Quebec, Halifax end Kingston, belng branch manager at the two latter.He returned to Montreal about twenty years ago to assume the management of the head office, which responsible position he filled with the utmost success.Mr.Penfold is surviv- ied by five daughters and two sons, who \u2018have the sympathy of many in their bereavement The funeral, which will be \u2018private, will take place to-morrow, to Mount Royal Cemetery.à » NEW LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.Hamilton, July 4\u2014The annual

Volksraad, by fourteen to thirteen votes, has decided to give an additional member for Pretoria and each district having only one member now.Herr Fisher, the envoy of the Orange Free State, had a long interview with President Kruger on the question of the franchise:to-day.- At the opening of the Raad, President Kruger, while urging members to stand firm on the question of the independence of the South African Republic, submitted his scheme of additional representation for the goldfields.He suggested the appointment of a commission by the Raad to confer with the executive on the question of redistribution, but said it was useless to think about a general scheme, because the people were opposed to it.NIGER TERRITORIES CHANGING HANDS.London, July 3.\u2014In the House of Com- mens to-day the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, submitted the proposed terms on which the government takes over the Niger Company\u2019s territories.The echeme includes the revocation of the

SOME RICH CLAIMS- PROBABLE GOLD OUTPUT.Toronto, July 3.\u2014The \u2018Globe\u2019s\u2019 Dawson correspondent, writing on May 20, says the going out of the ice on May 17 was a joyful incident in the

source places the amount at between twenty and twenty-five millions of dollars.The collection of royalty is being carefully and strictly enforced.But various attempts have been made to evade payment,

before parliament was, owing to representations by a Montreal company, very considerably modified in committee, but the changes are only compromises, and do not re move the wrong feature which we recently pointed out in it, namely, the confiscation, under cover of creating a worse than illusory addition to the security of policies, of money the major part of which has been paid in as an investment, with a view to interest returns.One thing that we said then is open to some correction, as the readers of the long and | lively latter by.Policyholder\u2019 to this class of ne: holders from which the companies could lay up this dangerous \u2018security.\u2019 Mr.McMullen proposed that a clause be introduced forbidding the companies to divide more than six percent upon their stock until the required reserve was reached.He might very righteously have gone further and forbidden any interest at all to be paid upon stock until the practically covenanted profits were met.But even Mr.Mc- Mullen\u2019s moderate proposition threw, we are told, a bombshell into the camp of the advocates of the change, and made them hasten to patch up the compromise we have referred to before that feature was further insisted on.The letter of \u2018Policy-holder\u2019 declares that thirteen companies, manipulated apparently by one or two, had signed a round-robin to the Minister of Finance to support the bill, and that the minister publicly held them to this undertaking when some of them reslized the effect of what they had thus endorsed.A curious transaction ! 2 THE CANTEEN.We are grieved at having been apparently misled by the promise of the Minister of Militia and by reports from some of the camps into saying that intoxicating drinks were being sold in none of the military camps.We are receiving protests against this statement from various quarters which would lead to the conclusion that if euch orders have been given to the force they are treated with general contempt, implying that the department has really no control of the force, whose officers would seem to have failed to enforce the regulation.Some of these statements are precise as to time and place and distinctly inply a breach of the departmental order, \u201csghile others are more vague, such as of men being treated by their officers, which, though a thing which ought to be forbidden, implies po failure on the part of the government to carry out its wise regulation.There must be countless persons who could give us precise facts on this important subject.Selling drinks in camp is \u2018bad, but treating the men is worse.Esprit de corps is a strong force, and the young man who is trying to live a life of abstinence, acknowledged by all to be the only safe life in Canada, comes under one of the great temptations of his life when invited by his officer along with the rest of his company to accept a treat.Many a man who would face bul.Jets almost with elation would find it hard to face the covert sneer that would meet hia refusal to join his feMows at such à time.Major-General Hutton rebuked those commanding officers who had failed to make adequate provision of water against the intense heat of the Queen\u2019s birthday, by which they might have obviated the siovenliness of having men straggling from the ranks to get drinks of water.He might have added that such provision would have been a far greater \u2018kindness than marching whole companies to taverns afterwards, giving many a young man under very trying cir- strength in a dangerous quarter.\u2014\u2014 A BIRTHDAY GREETING.To-day the people of the United States celebrated the one hundred and\u2019 twenty- third anniversary of their national inde- L .pendence, and if.ever a nation had.reason to thank God for sbundatice of bless ings it has.Prospered it has been ns no other natioñ ever was in the history of the world.Exceptionally situated from the beginning in virgin territory of continental extent ; separated by oceans from the tyrannical trammels of older conditions, it bas had the unique opportunity of establishing institutions founded on the broadest principles of freedom and justice.That its success has been as phenomenal as its opportunities were unprecedented will not be denied, and though there are many things in its eocial and political life which an admirer of the great republic would like to see modified or abolished, it must be conceded that on the whole the influence of American genius and example has exercised a {ar reaching influence for good on all the nations of the earth.Yet now in the heyday of its unparalleled prosperity \u2018and greatness it may be eaid with all kindness and sincerity that there never was a time in its history when it behoqved that country more to give thoughtful consideration to the idea embodied in Kipling\u2019s Recessional Lest we forget.\u201d There are, too, in the dealings of the na: ticn with other nations many survivals of the nation\u2019s irresponsible nonage,:.d departure from which would add: to the + enlarging but- embarrissinig responsibilities over seas\u2014which must tend\u2019 very greatly to its education in international comity.During the year which bas passed since the destruction of Spanish colonial power the whole careèf of American history has undergone a complete change.At Manilla,and Santiago was completed the- work -begun in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and if the United States has become possessed of what Spain has had to relinquish, it is as sons who have completed what was long ago begun by their fathers.But in doing so its horizon has been enlarged and it His entered upon the task of carrying into remoter regions the principles to which it is heir, and which contain the secret \u2018of its greatness and its success.It has been apparently a surprise to our neighbors that that independence which they themselves have always spoken of as equivalent to, and the only guarantee of, liberty should be valued by peoples on whom they wish to force their ingtitu- tions.They find it difficult to urder- stand why subjection to themselves should not be understood by other -peo- ples as the only method of conferring those liberties of which they have counted themselves as having'a monopoly.To be convinced, however, thai they are to compare the progress of the Unfted States with that of the republies of Central and South America.In the one we see the manifestations of an all-conquer- ing spirit, in the other an arrested development.It, is not necessary here to inquire into-canses.The great facts spsak for themselves, and they contain.the key of the future.AN ELECTION GANG.was injurionsly incomplete we have been unfair to Mr.MacNish, the unseated Liberal candidate for West Elgin.The West Elgin case was one of the worst that ever came before a court, one of the judges sitting upon it declaring it unprecedented in his experience.with the exception of the Russell case, in which one of the candidates had to stand up and'receive a sentence to a term\u2019 of imprieon- | ment.In saying this, however, the judge expressly declared that there was no comparison whatever between the conduct of Mr.MaeNish and that of the candidate in the Russell cese.It ig wn- necessary to catalogue the long series of hideous criminal offences, for the most cumstances his first lesson in seeking | conferring blessings it is only necemeary.Owing to a telegraphic account which\u2018 part eommitted by supporters of Mr.MacNieh from outside of the constitu ency, which no sooner came to his knowledge than be decided, ne his counsel intimated at the trial, to offer no defence, but to declare them.The telegraphic account of the trial reported that Mr.MacNish had recommended to the returning officer, Sheriff Brown, as fit.persons for deputy returning officers men whoæ object it was to commit frauds with the object of electing him.This is what needs explenation.The facts are that Mr.MacNish, on visit- img one of the Liberal committee rooms at St.Thomas during the campaign, was handed & bunch of documents to sign, which he thought were scrutineers\u2019 certificates, which he signed without reading.Mixed up with them were the three recommendations, which the sheriff claims he accepted i in good faith and upon which depnty retyrning officers.The judges Messrs.Osler and Meredith, obviously regarded Mr.MacNish\u2019s vehement declarations of innocence as perfectly sincere and right.Judge Osler, who delivered judgment, declared thet.\u2018Mr.MacNish \u2018bad not been guilty of any improprieties.Mr.MacNish is therefore honorably exonerated.But that an organized band of skilled election sharpers should be at the command of the Liberal party, and should -find it easy to take such a domi- Dating part in an election in a constitu: ency in which they were strangers, and to play tricks upon the very candidate himself, to his utter humiliation and confusion, constitutes a standing indictment of the party which the Premier and leaders cannot afford to overlook.Mr.Mac Nish was, according to reporters of the Conservative press at trials, \u2018looking (very worn and grief-stricken,\u201d and there can be no doubt of the genuineness of his indignation and sorrow for what occurred.But it is inconceivable that \u2018none of Mr.MacNish\u2019s trusted friends in the constituency were aware of the work of the \u2018imported gang\u2019 The sheriff, for whom there was not a particle of excuse, should be called upon by the Ontario Government to resign, as he has raised doubts.\u2019 as to the impartiality of the sheriffs as returning officers, thus dis- tr no itdente ity Tha ov conduct 3's retuiping officer.\u2018 PROHIBITION AND POLITICS.It is seldom that there is a convention of temperance men at which something like this \u2018does not take place: When a report \u2018or recommendation on legislation is being presented some ardent member gets up and says, \u2018What is the us of spending time discussing what the politicians in parliament ought to do, when we know quite well that their whole study is how not to do it ?What you want to do is take the advice Sir John \u2018Macdonald gave you and send temperance men to parliament.You are only wasting your time looking for temperance legislation until you get a majority in parliament who

temperance legislation.\u2018Ob, yes,\u201d says another speaker, \u2018you always find politicians trying to relieve their party of the re sponsibility of anything that will turn the liquor interests against it ; what you want is to emancipate the people from the bondage of party politics.So long as.the people see everything through party spectacles there is Tittle chance for temperance legislation\u201d It is then explained that the whole debate is out of order, as all these departments of the work are to be discussed in turn, but that it is the subject of legislation that is at present before the meeting ; it is quite true that what is wanted, far more than temperance legislation, is a temperance people, but it has been found that under our institutions there is no way of

| It is also waste of time to try to get cating the people much better than to | agitate among them for prohibitory Yegis- lation.The prohibition movement in its larger history swings round and round a simi lar circle.The letter signed \u2018One in Earnest\u2019 indicates the point which a good many others besides the writer of it seem to have reached just now, as the suggestion comes from more places than one.The proposal of \u2018One in Earnest\u2019 is that the temperance people now tura their attention to filling parliament and the legislatures with prohibitionists by the following process: Where there are two prohibitionists in the field the prohibition voters shall remain neutral ; where only one is a temperance man, the prohibitionists shall vote for him irre spective of party, and where there is none the prohibitionists shall put one forward and vote exclusively for him.This plan is beyond reproach, and we think, if it were truly carried out, it would place.the cause-beyond the peradventure of failure.\u2018Ft is oo disparagement to the plan that it has been that of the Alliance for a quarter of a century back, and that temperance people all over the country have admitted it as their rule of action, yet without brilliant success.Difficulties beset each of the three conditions referred to above.It has been found elsewhere, and we have no doubt it will be found in Manitoba, the region to which our correspondent refers, that in a thor oughgoing prohibition constituency both candidates are always prohibitionists.They are perbaps not ideal prohibitionists, such as disinterested temperance people would select, but their assurances are such as to satisfy the prohibitionists of their own parties that the country would gain nothing by their voting on the other side.It is therefore very rarely that a contest can be got on a temperance issue in a thoroughly temperance county.Where one candidate is to be accounted a temperance man and another is not, it seems in practice to be always a local question which is the temperance man.The temperance voters of each party as a rule conclude that the candidate of their own party embodies the temperance interest, and that those iem- perance men on the other side of politics who vote for the other man are traitors sntartal, between algations dn Selling | fhem- so.mod ton the \u201ceptrailiitrg \u201csé \"the teenperance cause, they no doubt think.We have known a brewer supported as a prohibitionist, because he promised to vote right, and we have known the leading prohibition statesman in the country opposed because he had supported some one else as à prohibitionist whom taose who opposed him regarded as not being one.The third case is that where neither candidate is a prohibitionist.This usually occurs where the temperance sentiment is comparatively weak, But, weak or strong, it ie generally impossible to find a man willing to accept the candidature, involving, as it presumably would, defeat and the loss of two hundred dollars.As a rule, the temperance people do not find that they have two hundred dollars among them to throw away in addition to the other expenses of a hopeless campaign ; and so, when it comes to putting a candidate in the field, the plan generally fails tô be carried out.The plan, however, is a good one, and will, we hope, be earnestly put in force in future until we are able to get satisfactory prohibition legislation, PE ALIEN MISCHIEF-MAKERS.Canadians in the Yukon district, and especially those of Dawson City, who see that the campaign against the government officials is the work of the United States miners, who appear to have an organization, with the \u2018Nugget\u2019 newspaper as the \u2018nucleus\u2019 to carry it on systematically.No official in the Yukon, high or low, escapes the slander and denunciation of this organization of aliens, who are of course, intent upon serving their own selfish and anti-Canadian interests, From the first these United States miners have opposed all Dominion Government laws and regulations providing the necessary revenue for the expenses of government out of the rich and easily realized resources of the district.They wanted, in the first place, to be allowed to govern themselves according to the reckless and shameless customs of the western mining camp.Fairly and soberly administered law and order as enforced by the mounted police were not to the taste of these miners, and they objected to being required to contribute to the cost of i.They were very particularly opposed to the cost of opening the country by rail being paid for out of the resources of the country itself.The placers were theirs; let eastern Canada pay for railways.most of the game, seem to be convinced They were opposed.to the Dominion reserving claims for the nation ; were op.pored to the sale or letting of river lots, or the licensing of timber limits : above ali, they objected to being taxe! by the royalty levied upon the output of gold, and they have done all they could with the assistance of their governmen:, of their customs officers on the coast.end of all United States officials, to obstruct the trade of Canada with the Yukon, and to jam through the trade of the United States.They have made i impossible for the United States Government and the Imperial Government to arrive at any modus vivendi as to the disputed territory because they demand everything, will concede nothing in return, and will not consent to arbitration, which.however, the United States will be compelled sooner or later to accept.\u201c Such are the people and such the purposes and such the methods againet which ficials and.Canadian interests are fight ing.This United States organization bas been represented at Ottawa in the lobbies of parliament by the United States editors of the \u2018Nugget\u2019 and others, and unfortunately they found it possible to enlist the Opposition in their campaign against Canadian interests.Sir Hibber; Tupper\u2019s extraordinary farrago of alle gations, which have been as easily exploded as the sensational inventions and reports of the yellow press, which, indeed, probably is their origin, for the \u2018Nugget\u2019 tries hard to be yellow, is the outcome of the campaign apparently, and the reliable Conservative press has not been able to treat it even seriously.While the campaign has not succeeded in stampeding parliament against either the Yukon officials or the royalty and regulations, and has only to be regretted be cause of the waste of time it has caused parliament, it seems to be having a more serious and more injurious effect om the Yukon itself.The overworked, over- worried Yukon officials are becoming dis heartened and discouraged in the neces sary work of administering and enforcing distasteful regulations and laws of the Dominion Government and Parliament upon greedy and disaffected aliens, who seem to be encouraged to invent all sorts {oh felichoods squint them, and to de Po ait to in Yngüiries which they had before demanded.The Dawson City correspondent of the Toronto \u2018Globe\u2019 writes a protest which is strong and effective because of its moderation.He says :\u2014 Dawson, May 27\u2014The policy of \u2018The Nugget\u2019 paper, a copy of which I enclose, seems to be to keep up the agitation against the officials as long es porsible.There is no doubt but that some understanding exists between the Conservative party at Ottawa and the \u2018Nugget\u2019 people here.To my mind, the government will make a mistake if any further notice is taken of these alien maligners.Ever since Mr.Oglivie came in, agitators of this class have been pandered to, so much so, that every official has Leen placed almost at the mercy of & damnable crowd or nlackmai- ers.Ary one having a grudge against an official could always get tlie ear of the Commissionar, sc sealous has he been in his efforts to carry out the wishes of the Minister for clean and honest government.No onc is above suspicion, and this is soraewhat galling to those officials who have conscientiously performed their duty.It is time for this to stop.The officials here now are doing everything in thelr power to carry out the regulations, and in the days that are gone the very worst feature was not the corruption amongst the officials, but the dishdnesty of the community with which they had to decal.Americans are so much used to \u2018sharp practices\u2019.at home that they cannot understand How'a man san de à government

that someone elie must have \u2018graîthd better than themselves.As I said before, the officials are striving to do their duty honestly.The bead of- ficlals are simply slaves.They have no official

\u2014Remembering tbe combine of thirteen western life companies, and our own Royal Victoria, I shalt now conclude my summary of the discussion of the bill before the Committee on Banking and Commeree.The discussion was spread over three days, and was conducted with much animation and admirable order throughout, with one notable exception, that was in the case of the manager of the North American.1 shall spare him reporting his wofully rambling utterances further than to give the concluding incident.Having already occupied over fifty minutes, the committee had become restive and wented him to hurry up.With that end in view, the Hon.Mr.Foster suggested jokingly, ey the telegram \u201crush\u201d! Thot & an effort to wind up, Bt, Rod rh a \u2018marked: \u2018HH three and\u201d a half percént.be needed for new business, much more is it needed for the old business.\u2019 Now the committee quickly perceived that that was a bold assumption of the gist oéethe whole dispute, hence voices: \u2018Will you please explain how that is\u201d, That was à power; it fairly stunned him, for in common with the other members of the combine he had not prepared himself to discuss the insurance problem presented by the bill; he «imply indulged in ordinary platitudes about lowering interest, the low rate realireable on Cana- Jian securities, and therefrom deduced the need for just such a measure as the bill proved to be.Reply: \u2018I think I have answered that already.\u2019 (Considerable laughter.Voices, \u2018Well, please try and explain it again.) Coloring crimson, and in manifest em- berressment, and apparently engaged in deep meditation, came the perplexed and exing effort at an answer from him: ant that a self-evident proposition?(Convulsive laughter and jeers all over the room, with such tit-bits as \u2018Don't you want a drink?Thet's self-evident, ote\u2019) Voices again: \u2018If it be self-evident, then it will be all the easier for you to explain.\u2019,, But no, he bad no explanation to (five, his words, as on a bicycle.had outrun his wits.He sat down in ainful confusion and disappointment.\u2018he fact is, that the confidence begotten of numerical strength (thirteen vom-| th panies), sustained by the irresistible influence of the department and govern- istic forcible style, suggested av'a fair compromise thet as regards old business the bill be restricted to four percent.The Hon.Col.Tisdale ably supported the motion, remarking that the bill was paternalism gone mad.\u201d Mr.Britton, Q.C., Liberal member for Kingston, vigorously contended thet notwithstanding the disavowal of the Minister of Finance, the bill was assuredly retroactive, and was an unwarrantable interference with existing contracts, and would confiscate large sums of money that rightfully should find their way to the pockets of the pol- icy-holders.Mr.MoMullen (North Wellington, also a Liberal) energetically maintained that a deep injustice was being done in singling out and making victims of one class of policy-bolders, and from evident design, letting the shareholders escape from contributing any share towards the make-up of the fund required for extra reserves.He propos ed that for the years during which the fund would be accumulating the dividends to shareholders be strictly limitel to six percent per annum, the balance that otherwise would be payable to go that à ) in the bill.That proved & veritable bomb to the department and the gentle men of the combine.From the puzzled expression on some countenances, that turn was as disturbing as it was unexpected.It commended itself, however, at once to the committee as a fair and reasonable proposition, as was evidenced by the general applause that greeted the utterance.In my judgment it was the fear of that suggestion being pressed to an issue on the following day that led to the finai compromise being offered by the Minister of Finance.Although not ertirely successful in its contention the opposition obtained & very substantial improvement in the terms of the bill seven years being lengthened out to fifteen years.SUMMARY.The bill is a flagrant violation of vested rights, many of them of long standing.With one exception the companies are all proprietory, i e., joint stock, Their charters, like those of all joint stock eoncerns, stipulate expressly that their stock capital, both subscribed and paid- up, shall be answerable for the bona- fides of the engagements they may cob- tract with the public.Now the present bill in effect provides for the companies a digect evasion of that express undertaking in their charters.In place of the capital fund being as covenanted for, made answerable to implement any defect, if such there be, in e companies\u2019 providings for reserves, the bill expressly orders that a very much larger reserve shall be teken out into the reserve fund; and he demanded Shia \u2018De indrted however, the managers of the North American, Manufacturers, Imperial and Canada Life, visited Ottawa, and had the three and a half percent basis reinstated into the bill.ronto, that deputation succeeded, not ing the combine of the thirteen com- panies\u2014pledging one and ail to support the bill as they had had it amended.Knowing, as we do, that the Canada, different, but only when agement of the Canada, percent basis to the old business, and belt.fact\u2014of no small significance\u2014that nei- amended to meet their wishes, on Thursday morning by ister of Finance, that \u2018It has hinted to me that some gentlemen did not mean are men of business, accept any such suggestion, and hold meant exactly what they said.\u2019 combine.posing to do ?underhand work going.on disconcert him nor sternly pushing on the bill.He to Mr.Macdonald, of the Confederatio by frankly admitting that the bi and a half percent basis.A week later, And on returning to Te- ;

Canada and North American companies.Like the twins in Hebrew history, the one bill would almost seem to be tacked on to the heel of its mate.A suggestive ocincidence, is it not ?Let me recount briefly how those two managements developed publicly their title to championship.Early in Muy the Confsderation headed a deputation which secured from the department or the Minister of Finance the promise that three and a balf percent would apply only to new business\u2014that the old would be exempted from any lower rate t! four percent.On May 25, the Sun Life's deputation received from the department

fatherly care of the electors land adviee them to remain at and to keep their agents from doing positive harm by their uninvited e a practices.Had Mr.MacNish been left \u2018to himself, he would have been elected by | a handsome majority.He would have remained a stranger to all the annoyance which the self-invited unprincipled Liberals who came from a distance have worked up for him.A SUBSCRIBER.pr\u2014p\u2014\u2014 WHAT NEEPAWA PROHIBITION: ISTS WILL DO.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir, \u2014As the result of the plebiscite held on Sept.20 last, and the action taken by the government thereon, has not fulfiled the expectations of the prohibitionists of Canade, and as it is therefore mecessmry to seek a solution of this great national problem in another way, and in à way that will bring home to our members of parliament the fact that we aré dead in earnest, 1 take the liberty of addressing this letter to yon to draw attention to the manner in which the Neepawa (Manitoba) branch of the Christian Alliance of Temperance have decided to act.At a meetimg held in May last this alliance unenimously adopt- éd the following resolutions:\u2014 This alliance, believing that we can Dev- er expect & law to be placed on the statute books of our province prohibiting the man- ufaeturo, sale, or importation of ligtors, for beverage purposes unless we elect to our parliament men who are tomperate in lite and in principle, be it therefore resolved: 1.That in the event of both political par- tlas choosing candidates who practice æs well as advocate tempersnce, this alliance shall remain neutral jn the coming campaign, 3.Should one man be 3 temperance man in the above sense, and thc other not, then this allisnce will support by vote and influence the temperance candidate regardless of party lines.3.In the event of neitiier candidate being & temperance man, this alliance shall nominate 8 candidate and use every lawful endeavor to elect him.Now, Mr.Editor, I think this action on the pert of the prohibitionists of Neepawa is worthy the earnest consid- \u2018 k of v Ses PF tp NEvored, large, responsible, earth © i ry snd wasted on TRE Hôk \u2018such an thdértaking, and proposed | \" | : ; signed {vhat a o'mmittee composed of Council- ; lors Redfern, Bulmer and Lighthall be appointed to confer with the Montreal Street Railway, Company to see what they would do towards meeting the views of Westmount people in the construction of a road through Westmount to the mountain.A motion to that effect carried.The interview with the Montreal Street Railway managers will decide the action of the council in regard to Mr.Williamson\u2019s propoeal.Councillor Bulmer was opposed to the mountain road on the ground that it would not be distributive for the citizens in general, but would serve only to take Westmount people to the cemeteries and park.He preferred the construction of a line along the face of the mountain through the high level of the town, making a serviceable loop to connect with the low level line now in operation.It is not known what route would be chosen by the Montreal Street Railway, unless the Cote des Neiges road, which, in the opinion of many, would be detrimental to the interests of Westmount.rt UNITED STATES AND DENMARK.London, July 4\u2014The \u2018Daily Mail,\u2019 publishes the following

this year.the new possessions give character to tite\u2018 tions that are simply to amuse.After |* all, these make the success of exhibitions \u2018| Of course,\u201d the buildings used for \u2018the Trans-Mississippi Exhibition of last year are used, \u2018which is a great saving.But} Jobo contents of these buildings make the\u201d show wbally\" différent.The villages of the new colonies are particularly extensive.The object sis to give visitors opportunity of finding out 8s much about Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines as is possible without visiting the islands.In the first place the life of the people is shown as it exists, the kind of houses ! they live in, the furnishing, the food and clothing.The amusements and manner | of work are illustrated.The Philippine exhibit will be rather meagre until Aug.1, because the war has delayed the shipment of the exhibit.Fifty natives, together with water-buffaloes, ponies, monkeys, and all manner of interesting things aré coming.Not only is the picturesque side of life in the far-off places is shown, but their sources of wealth as well.The outpatk of the islands.their needs and the op portunities are made.clear.Of course there is a midway; an ex hibition wishdut one could not be con: sidered seriously.The midway of this show promises the delightful naughtiness, |.the strangeness and.contrasts which ple seem to want.There are véreets of | Cairo, beauty shows, Hagënback's ani mals, a haunted swing, Hobson sinki the \u2018Merrimac,\u2019 and ever.so many othet things.Then there is the unique feature, som thing

neglected.The experience derived from the former exhibition, the fact that the \u2018buildings were.all in place, gave the board of managers a tre: mendous, advantage, and when it opend to-morrow, it \u2018will be more pearly.cam- plete than any display of the kind hed ever been at its beginning.The display of American products, particularly those of thé West, is wonderfully complete and most attractively arranged.The art gallery is worthy of the exhibition.The music will be especially fine.The famous\u2019 Bristol Grenadier Band, undée Godfrey, opened the exhibition, and it will give concerts for five weeks, Other famous organizations will follow, \u2018In September Hawaii's government band will appear.During the Indian congress the Arizona Indian band will furnish! music, In addition there will \u2018be great chorus concerts.The visitors are hound to find something to delight them.even if they find delight only in a funeral.There will be funerals every day; not the

a quart of water will require about eighteen ounces of alum.Strain this through muslin or blotting: paper into a large jar, and hang the basket in the liquid.Stand the jar on one aide to cool, and keep free from dust ;

and if one fails to hit it in time to keep it from the ground all the other players rush to give that one a light blow with the bat.Sometimes the punishment for failure is having a circle drawn round the eyes, or the face otherwise marked.The bat is of wood, with one side plain, the other ornamented with the picture of some well-known character of history or ro- p mance, or of & ising will cock.consists of & amall, EX: oe piece, painted or gilded, stuck round wit! feathers, as petals are ranged round the centre of a flower.\u201d EASY FEET, FOR BURNING SWEATY FEET ~ USE MCCORMACK\u2019S FOOT POWDER Immediate Relief.Price 23c.PP.McCORMACK & CO.| Corner MeGill snd Notre Dame streets.Corner Prince Arthur ot.and Park Ave.Farmers.Longhoursofhard, never.ending work makes Kidney Trouble a common com- taint on the farm.Paine Fa, Teak or lame backs rinary are 100 oe freon.DOANS KIDNEY PILLS help a farmer to work and keep his health \u2014take the ache and pain gor of his back and sive him strength Isaiah Wilimot, a red farmer vy at 138 Elizabeth St., Barrie, Ont., said: \u201c1 have and tn iw mn: sides.!alsohada iam \u201c doi dowd und wor worn out Hii * Since takin, pas no pein erin, in pe back de Tio! ne ave removed the neuralgia palp from my b also the tired feeling.**1 (eel at least ten en ra You nger and can only say that Dean's Kidney Pills are the mon rerarkabie kidney cure, and in addition are the best tonic | ever took.\u201d y Laxa-Liver Plils cure C spats a sufferes with re Cement, Drain Pipes, &c.PORTLAND CEMENT, DRAIN PIPES, FIRE BRICKS AND CLAY, BUILDERS\u2019 and CONTRACTORS\u2019 SUPPLIES F.HYDE & CO., Phone.2812 3x Wellington st DRAIN PIPES, PORTLAND CEMENTS, AT LOWEST MARKET PRICES, W.8 F.P.CURRIE & Ce, 314 McGill Mdreet.Montreuil, France, and he will duly re-[- swell, and when fully grown still remain 88.GLASGOW SERVICE.From MONTREAL.ss.LARONTA fe (cold storage).88.TRITONT July 13 88.AMAR aly 88.KASTALIA {cold storage).88.TRITONIA Aug ts\u2014 Gl w .Donaldson Bros.YHOMAUN LINE.Weekly Ienden Service.From PORTLAND.£8.KILDONA ,.R .if ib 86.TROPEA .0 ù DNA SCANDIA oo {Or ather steamer.)

Columbia, the Hon.Edward Blake, Q.C., M.P.; for counsel for the appellants, the CPE, and Mr.Haldane, Qu M.P., and Mr.J.Dawson Crawford, for the respondents.The C.P.R.line passes about half a mile from

natural charnel of any adjacent -stream,- lake, or river, \u2018or agricultural and other purposes, upon obtaining the written authority of the commissioner of the.district, paying a nominal fee and compensation for waste to owners of land ed over.The respondents made use of these privileges, and \u2018he soil which they irrigated.was of a very porous quality,consisting of gravel underiying a slight.deposit of sandy loam, and below the gravel was a bed of what is called silt, a mineral that absorbs water rapidly, and when Îts satora- tion reaches 78 degrees it is converted Into liquid

allowing- no train to pass over without his signal giving permission.Appellants brought action for an injunction, but it was by the Court of trial, and the judgment confirmed by the full bench of the

purfioses, an absolute right to use for irrigation the water so taken by him, no matter how injurious the use may be to neighboring landowners, and that he was under no liability to compensate.them

construction of a statute, ths Legislature.had authorized a proprietor to make a particular use of his land, and the authority \u2018given \u2018was, in the atri-t sense of law, -permissive merely and not imperative, the Legislature must be held to have intended that the use sanctioned was not to be in prejudice of the common law right of others.the present case, ths irri- gator was at liberty to

the fiscal year in Canada, the accounts of the public service for that period are beginning to come in.It has been a growing time in all departments, due to the marked increase in trade which, making itself apparent in the.closing days of 1897 hes gone uninterruptedly to the present period, and promises to continue for a while yet.With a view of learning the indications of that usually reliable barometer, the customs house returns, a reporter this morning questioned the collector as to the results of the year's work.\u201cIn point of business,\u2019 said Mr.White, \u2018no previous twelve months at all approach the year just ended., There have, indeed, been periods of larger revenue collections, as when the sugar duties alone were high enough to produce a revenue of three millions at this port, but in respect of the volume of business pase- ing through the customs house the year 1898-9 dwarfs all its predecessors.\u2019 \u2018Look at our receipts, for instance.Five years ago the total amount collected at this port was $5,983,340; in the two succeeding years there was some betterment; in 1897-8 we received the considerable sum of $7,207,005 in duties, and in the year just closed we havé taken in no less than $8,662,770.That represents a gain of twenty percent, Or $1,455,700, in a single year, and reflects\u2019 accurately the expansion the trade of the Dominion has experienced.But these figures do not tell the whole story of the work of our staff.In addition to the customs revenue, we collect thas of the harbor commissioners, some $250,- 000, the pilotage dues, another $80,000; \u2018sick mariner and steamboat inspection - fees, $10,000, and as much more as this Jest figure from minor sources.Bo that, in all, our take for the year has been.upwards of $9,000,000.\u2018I observe, Mr.White went on to say, \u2018that the total customs revenue for the.whole Dominion during the year was $25,400,000, so that one-third of this principal source of public revenue arises frog the port of Montreal.\u2019 Ë \u2018What about your expenditure,\u2019 - Mr.with your revenue \u201cNo, quils the contrary; though I ab} not think it would be conei 8 re-à markable thing if the great growth of work had produced a rising expenditure.The facts, however, are these: nearly: ten years ago, in 1890-1, the salaries at :|4his port aggregated $149,921, from which figure they were in the immediately suc: ceeding years cut down appreciably.Thus, in 1864-5 the salaries did not exceed $130,000; in 1807-8 they amounted to $128,496, and last year were $128,794, or practically unchanged.Now, having in mind the increase in work as indicated by the augmented revenue, it seems to me a noteworthy fact that the business \u2018of the port has been carried on without, practically, the addition of a dollar to the cost of the service.Our contingent expenees, it is true, have risen.Three years ago they amounted to 29,154, and last year to $10,850.but the whole of this increment is attributable to the greater cost of customs cartage arising out of the larger number of packages sent to the examining warehouse.In a word, this is an uncontrollable item of expense.For instance, in 1883-6 the number of packages sent to the warehouse for appraisers\u2019 examination was 73,829; two years later the number.had risen to 78,514, while in the year just closed they reached the enormous total of 86,327, or an average of 1,600 a week.This affords some idea of the volume of work falling upon the staff of the examining warehouse.\u2018The amount of revenue collected,\u201d Mr.White continued, \u2018is not always a true test of the work devolving on the cus toms staff.ten the key to the customs receipts, and with high taxation on\u2019 one or two \u2018articles of general consumption you may obtain a large revenue with comparatively little work.That does not apply, however, to the existing state of things, as you will see by comparing the number of entries at this port in a series of years, which, after all, is the best test to apply to ascertain the real amount of work performed by the staff.Ten years ago the entries here barely exceeded a hundred thousand, which was then regarded as a high figure.Five years later, in 1894, they bad gone up to 130,000.In 1808 they reached the then unprecedented total of 169,607, and in the year just closed have nombered no less then 188,283.That is to say, on |, the average no fewer than 615 entries have been dealt with during every working day of the past twelve months.Of the total, 108,205 have been ex-ship entries, 50,608 ex-warchouse entries, and the balance is made up of export, transit, removal and for-warehouse entries.\u201cTake again the manifests as an evidence of the steady augmentation of the port.As you know, all goods arriving from places outside of Canada come \u2018in bond,\u201d and are the subject of a customs manifest.Well, ten years ago we received 31,800 such manifests, every one THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.3K 3 The \u2018warn weather has had an unfavoe Asked: \u2018does it keep peck le rate of taxation is of-| try, and the receipted and: cancelled manifest, in the case of inland freight, returned to the sending port; five years ago the number of manifests we received was 34,480; one year ago, 49,682, and in the year just closed, 52,524.\u201cThe work of the customs house, too, involves a great deal of correspondence, both with the department at Ottawa and with the public, and in this respect the story does not differ.Four years o the number of letters sent out from the collector's office was 2,300, a year ago we had 2,000, and last year no less than 3,800 letters.In the accountant\u2019s office more than seven thousand cheques were drawn.I might, in fact, go over all the branches of the port service and in each give your evidence, such as I bave cited, of the remarkable growth of the work.\u2018The striking fact which stands out from the comparative statistics,\u2019 eaid Mr.White, in conclusion, \u2018is this, that while in ten years the number of entries and the volume of actual clerical work has increased by not less than seventy- five percent.in the customs house, this greatly augmented \u2018 business has been done without adding one dollar to the cost of the service, a result which seems to me unique in the business world, and to reflect credit on.the officers engaged in it) pe FIRES DURING JUNE.The monthly report of Mr.Emond, the secretary \u2018to the Fire Commissioners, shows that during June there were in- all 42 fires and 43-investigations held by the commissioners.The insurances amounted to $28,900, and losses to 8,553.The fires were as follows :\u2014Dwellings.21 ; -banks, 1 ; sheds, etc, 5 ; stores,

the country, where rain is badly needed.A.farmer from Hawkesbury, Ont., seys the cfop prospects in that part of the country are excellent, and the hay crop, which is so deficient in this region, is \u2018likely to be more than an average yield up there.In several other places along the Ottawa valley the prospeots are equally good.ve.THE MACHINERY ASSESSMENT.The city aseéssrs have nearly completed the annual assessment of city rea! estate, but are meeting with no bette: success than at first in securing from the proprietors an evaluation of machinery.Consequently, as soon as the real

SECURED OVER THE CROW'S NEST PASS RAILWAY.Ottawa, July 4.The Railway Committee of the Privy Council assembled \u2018this morning when the application of the Bedlington & Nelson Railway Company for running rights over eight and a i:alf miles of the Crow's Nest Pass line was granted, compensation being fixed at $475 per mile.The term is for ten years snd due provision will be made for renewal.The question of compensation was one which the companies bad not been cble to determine between themselves, and it therefore became the duty of the come mittee to assess the amount which.was calculated on the cost cf the line, less the Dominion subsidy.FUBLIC- AOCOUNTS.COMMTTTFT The \u2018Public Accounts Committee did not proceed this morning with any of the enquiries under way owing to the absence of

disqualification of Burke and Quinlan from competing in the college athletic contests, has caused comment in university athletic circles.Mr.C.N.Jackson, the bursar of Hartford College, Oxford, who has charge of the Oxford- Cambridge team, ia quoted as saying fn an interview: \u2018Oxford or Cambridge would never have entertained, an such {nsutfi- cient -evidenne, the.raising of any ob%ction to Burkes amateur status.Undoubtedly, in 1895, when the New York and London Atn- letic Clubs contested, if the newspapers were correct, Burke transgressed the racing rules as reccgnized in Fingland.Rut no notice was tuken of the matter at that time by the officials on either side, or hy C.Jordan, the competitor most effected.\u2018The clause in the challenge requiring a list.of the competitors to be filed with the secretary of the Amatour Athletic Asso- clation of Great Britain prior to July 22, puts the matter in the hands of the Amateur Athletic Association, and not in tne hands of Oxford and Cambridge.We only hope that if they object to Burke and Quin- lan, they will do so before the men sail, July-5.1 am sure, fron experience with Yale in 1894 and 1896, that their standard of amateurism

making s gay and gallant fight in \u2018conjunction with bis extrabrdinary colleague, Mawdsley, a Socialist working man, who bas come forward as a Tory candidate.Thus, for the government the double

Liberals, to secure one seat by C If my forecast within living memory will \u201chave suffered such a succession of overwhelming defeats in by-elections, and I fancy the poised avalanche of Toryism will begin to slip and thé general election draw perceptibly nearer.Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman\u2019s speech at the City Liberal Club last night, was, like most of the Libéral utterances lately, inspired by a conviction of coming victory.His very guarded remark that as his previous ut- terancs about the Transvaal had been nrisunderstood, he would only say that, in his opinion, nothing had occurred to justify either warlike action or military preparation, was received almost, in silence, but his attack upon the dole to the clergy in the guise of a remission of rates upon their tithes, and his declara- tiorr that the Liberal ideal remained \u2018a \u2018Church in a free State,\u2019 evoked tremendous enthusiasm.Another sigifi- eently financially in low water, but that within the past few weeks new.members have come forward and subscriptions have been offered placing it in a condition of proeperity.Such a straw shows * Bow ithe wind is blowing.Leonard.Céurtney\u2019s.speech in House, \u201cdeclaring that the Liberal jomists are still Liberals, and denouncing the policy of the side upon which he site, has also produced \u2018a great effect.The resignation of Whitley on the ground that the government has been shiefly occupied in the distribution of pisblio money to landlords and parsons, rd of the times, and Sir \u201ci Whitleys, is: Jiterally true.Even fGuardian\u2019 and the \u2018Spectator,\u2019 the two papers devoted to the interests of the Church of England, both strongly disipprove of the bill that the government is rushing through the House of Conimons- One example will show -how the proposed-Tithes Act works.Under it the clergy of England will benefit to \"the amount of $435,000 yearly.Of this thre London ratepayers alone will con- .tribute no less than $200,000.The un- \u201cpopularity of such a measure needs no further illustration.this.bill because I am, convinced that it will be \u2018the turning-point in the fall of the present government.~~ THE TRANSVAAL.CRISIS.\u201cThe Transvaal crisis has undergone no change, except that in South Africa po- Iitical passions are rising and trade is ceasing.The subsidized Boer organ in London and certain members of Parliament known to have intimate relations with Phetoria, declare to-day that President\u2019 Kruger is about to announce con- ceasions which will satisfy British opinion.* This may or may not be true, but -, the fact remains that the only alternative to a change of .policy on the part of government would be the resigna- \u2018af Secretary Chamberlain and High the Commissioner Milner, and this is un- thiskable.Moreover, the eventuality of .War is undoubtedly under consideration.The number of British troops in South © Afric at the present time is about ten \"thousand.\" It is considered that about \u201cthirty-five thousand more would be suf- eant fact is that the club has been re- | I have dwelt upon | \u201c Times\u2019 to-day in which he declares gt WLOrNETIVE TH me > p gers yielding or war is the Joes of British supremacy in Southern Africa.He urges patience still, \u2018 but it must be an armed patience with a limit, for the cards seem all against us, and there is, I fear, nothing to be gained by waiting except, perhaps, a consolidation .of adverse THE PEACE CONFERENCE.The peace conference is now virtually over, and ita results are precisely as had been anticipated here from the first.It is uncertain whether the word \u2018permanent\u2019 will pot be struck out by Germany from the title of the arbitration tribunal, which would then be called simply \u2018Cour d\u2019Arbitrage International\u2019 Even this, of course, would be a distinct humanitarian gain, but what probability is there of firat-class disputes being submitted to it?The great dangers to peace in Europe are three: First, the question of Al- pace-Lorraine; second, the Eastern ques tion, that is, the breaking up of the Turkish Empire, precipitated by disorders in the Balkans; and, third, the ad- varce of Russia; and in Asia, two, name: ly, the rivalry of Russia and England for predominance in China and the almost inevitable struggle between Russia and Japan.Would any one of these be submitted by disputants to -arbitration?In view of the fact that.England will not arbitrate about the Transvaal nor America about an Alaskan boundary, and that only with the greatest difficulty were Chili and Argentina coerced into refer ring to arbitration their frontier dispute, the anewer must be obviously in the negative The Czars principal inspiration.\u201c woald\" doubtiess cantafbute régiments; a Targe- number-of volunteers from Cape \u2018Colony and Johanwesburg would offer themselves, and certain regiments would be sent from India, from the Mediterranean stations, and the rest from home.I repeat that the supreme command would be given.to Sir Redvers Buller, as gir Evelyn Wood, in spite of his natural désire to secure a victory which at the last.war he declared to be within his grasp, is compelled by his position as Adjutant-General to remain at home.The effective strength of the Boers is known to be greatly exaggerated.The quick-firing guns they have purchased have not proved a success in the hands of highly-trained German and French artillerymen, and it would be still less so with Boer artillerymen.The fact is ffat the spade arrangement, which is rppo to stop a recoil, does not ob- vidte the necessity of relaying the gun afar each shot and this; deprives the saxslled quick-firing field gun of its .Bénèted advantage \u2018over the ordinarz wea- \u2018pon.My allusion last week to the im- ce of its being really known whether the Boers.here had placed large orders for war material in the United \u2018States produced within the following akating that such was not the case.Rider Haggard the novelist, who, when oe Beit: te hoisted with hin ficient to placé the - result beyond the | A Deu iriatralia 3 Canad \u201ceight - hours a series of telegrams of armaments.This-lias totally broke down, although the delegates have, with natural diplomacy, made the collapse as palatable to the Czar as possible in view of his undoubted sincerity and lofty aim.William T.Stead telegraphs to-day that many delegates forebode that the net result of the conference will be to make Social Democrats more confident than ever.\u2018The conference, they will say, has countersigned the confession of its own impotence.At the same time that it affirms the urgency of the need for a remedy it is powerless to supply it.Speaking of Russia, the birth of a third daughter to the Czarina is, of course, a grievous disappointment both to the imperial family and to the superstitious Russian people.If the Crar dies without male issue he will be succeeded by his second younger brother, the Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, as his next brother in age, the Czarowitz, is hopelesely consumptive.The Czar, by the way, will probably revisit the Queen this autumn, and in spite of all denials 1 fancy the Emperor William will also be seen here.I THE RIOTS IN BELGIUM.The extraordinarily savage rioting in Brussels will remind the world of the deplorable state of

bu whose profits they support mem \u2018he [TRIER ANd rON Tewapapers.2 Clericals, however, lihve secured all th Tolitical power in the country.For example, the Opposition in parliament has thirty-eight members from 996,000 voters, whereas the Clericals have a hundred and fourteen members with only 946,000 voters.The electoral law which has provoked the riots was designed to assure to the Clericals this.preposterous predominance forever.The stones of Briissels, however, have won a victory for.the moment, but not before apartments Bad been prepared in Aus tyia for the King of the Belgians, whose immense.fortune, as is well known, \u2018is safe in England._ Gamibetta\u2019s historic phrase, \u2018Clerical ism is the enemy,\u201d was never truer than to-day: In Belgium it is at the root of the disorder; in France it has been allied with Jew-baiting to prolong\" the Dreyfus crime; in Italy it is openly conspiring againet the House of Savoy, and in Austria its combination with the Anti- Semites has turned parliament into a bear garden and nearly rent the dual empire asunder.The situation of Italy day-is appalling.The brutal fighting) M the floor of the Chamber is without parallel in modern history.Parliament is prorogued and the bill which «om- pletes the suppression of free speech, free meetings, free press, and the right of political \u2018combination is about to become a law by royal decree.In fact, as I pointed out in a previous letter, parlia- raentarianism on the Continent of Europe is at the present time thoroughly discredited.: blagéd with\u2019 indignation\u2019 because the ¢ ial report of the assuranée;by the President of the Reichstag puts in hie mouth without his knowledge words he never uttered, the effect of which is to remove the \u2018Emperor's speeches wholly out of the reach of parliamentary discussion.The condition of Germany,.too, may be judged by the fact that not only has a local official recently been disiniësed for having.let rooms to a woman kmown.to be a Socialist, but the railway authorities at Dantsic have now issued a notice practically informing all their employees that they must vote against the Social- Democratic candidates on pain of dis miesal.THE WOMEN\u2019S CONGRESS.Anything.more futile or purpoeeless has seldom been seen in this city than the Women\u2019s International Congress.In Westmihster Town Hall, where it was held, the noise of the underground trains and the cries of school children outside made most of the speakers inaudible.The audience arrived unpunctually, and the incessant coming and going of agitated, weirdly clad delegates was an unbroken interruption.Except in the case of actresses the voices, diction, and delivery of most of the speakers were bad.No ome was allowed to speak for more than \u2018tégy gminutes.The bell was rung inexorably\u2019 ¥p close gach paper.Apparently no delegate had rehearsed her pa- operative industrial institutions, out of ee _ Meanwhilé,

Stetson, who said some trenchant things, appelled her English hearers: paving | by advocating highly trained, well-paid women as substitutes for mothers.In fact, Englishwomen of advanced views who attended are asking was it worth while gathering women\u2019 together irom the ends of the earth to gabble platitudes of precisely ten minutes\u2019 duration.The effect of the congress upon public opinion here is nil.\u2018 THE MARLBOROUGH JEWELS.The prize of the Marlborough collec tion of gems sold here during the week, a cameo of Cupid and Psyche\u2014the most famous cameo in the world\u2014was bought for America, it is believed for the Bos ton: Museum, in spite of the fact that the Treasury gave the British Museum twenty thousand dollars for the purchase at thig sale.A private donor gave the muséum five thousand dollars, but this arrived too late for it to secure the great cameo.HENRY NORMAN.\u2014 NEARLY COLLIDED.\u2018CHAMPAGNE\u2019 AND \u2018IONA\u2019 PASS EACH OTHER IN PERILOUSLY CLOSE QUARTERS.t fe New.York, July 3.\u2014The French liner \u2018Champagne,\u2019 which arrived yesterday from Havre, just missed collision with the British freighter \u2018Ioma,\u201d bound from Montreal for London, on June 25, about two hundred miles south-west of Queens town.It was about 9.30 a.m., there was a heavy fog and drizzling rain and the liner was going at about half-speed, sounding her fog whistle.Captain Poirot and the chief officer, M.De Monvel, \u2018were on the bridge, and only a few passengers were on deck.The passengers say that the freighter came out of the gkom thirty feet off the liner\u2019s port bow without warning.The officers of both vessels held their courses, which probably wes the best thing to do under the circumstances.The vessels passed each other, a passenger declares, port to port, with less than twenty-five feet of sea between them.Chief Officer De Mon- vel says the space was seventy-five feet and that that was nearer than he ever wants to come to collision.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 KILLED IN A QUARREL.Richmond, Va., July 3.\u2014States Senator William Flannagan wae shot and killed at Powhatan court

HALFBREEDS\u2014BELT LINE BILL.Ottawa, July 4.\u2014The debate on the redistribution bill was not resumed yesterday owing to the absence of the Hom.N.Clarke Wallace, who was to have continued the discussion.The day was instead devoted to the consideration of a number of minor government bills, The bill respecting the Montreal Island Belt Line Railway Company passed its third reading.Sir Charles Tupper had celebrated on Saturday his seventy-eighth birthday, and was presented on his entry to the House with a handsome bouquet of roses from bis party followers.The Prime Minister tendered the baronet his hearty congratulations, which were duly acknowledged by the leader of the Opposition.\u2018The commissioners of the Jamaica Government who have arrived im Ottawa from Washington to confer with the government here in regard to means of increasing trade between the colonies, occupied seats on the floor of the House.CANNOT BE SPARED.Before.the orders of the day were called Col.Prior (Victoria, B.C.) quoted a statement in the Victoria \u2018Colonist\u2019 from the Vancouver \u2018World,\u2019 to the effect that the Rev.George R.Maxwell, member for Burrard, is to be appointed postinaster of \u2018Vancouver.He asked whether the statement was well founded, and whether Mr.Maxwell was voting with this promise of an appointment in his pocket.The Prime Minister was happy to be able to say that Mr.Maxwell had no commission in his pocket and s0 far as he was aware there had been ro suggestion of his appointment.» The House would be very sorry to lose his services.The House spent about an hour and a half in concurrence, and put through the supplementary estimates for 1898-09, with a number of votes which had already been passed as urgently required for the service of the current year.THE INSURANCE BILL.\u2018When these resolutions had been passed the House passed on to consideration of set of securities.in which insurance.companies may invest, Mr.Foster expressed the opinion that these were a trifle broader than they should be, and the Minister of Finance stated that he would have the clause stand over, as he was sincerely desirous of meeting the views of the Opposition, and would consider any suggestion which Mr.Foster might have to make.The bill accordingly stands over.SCRIP FOR HALFBREEDS.A bill to amend the Dominion Lands\" Acts adduced a discussion in connection with the issue of scrip to certain half- breeds in the North-West Territories which is contemplated in this measure.The people who will profit thereby are those who have not been settled with in connection with the relinquishing of the aboriginal title to the land, the policy of the British Government being in all cases to take no land without affording in return some compensation.In the North- West the claims of both the Indiane and the halfbreeds have beep dealt with alike, The halfbreeds gained each scrip for 240 acres of land.About 3.000 halfbreeds have yet to be settled with.Heretofore the unfortunate halfbreeds have fallen in many cases into the hands of brokers, who cashed the scrip at exorbitant discounts.The Minister of the Interior explained that most of these people are engaged in agricultural pursuits.Mr.Foster thought.that they would be much better dealt with by giving them land instead of scrip or cattle or agricultural machinery.Two millions of scrip has already been issued to these people, of which- he celculated that a very small \u20ac real value to Pile parties who are \u2018fited thereby.Dr.Montague instanced a case in which a speculator hid been able to purchase for $90 scrip which the government accepted for $1,200 in payment for land.THE PRIME MINISTER.The Prime Minister laid stress upon ob- teining such a settlement as would meet the views of the halfbreeds.Mr.Foster calculated that this issue of scrip was equivalent to $750,000.He did not consider that there was any hurry, and urgad that time be taken for further study of the case.- The Minister of the Interior replied that the halfbreeds knew the value of the scrip as well as any one else, and it was provided that no assignment of it could be made to another party without it being filed in the Interior Department.Two-thirds of the parties receiving this scrip would be minors who could not as- wign their certificates now.Mr.Lariviere considered that the scrip should be made negotiable in the banks for its face value.The bill was reported.OTHER GOVERNMENT BILLS.Mr.Sifton secured the passage of two.bills giving the government power to throw n a number of town sites in the North-West which are no longer needed as sueh, and another extending the close eeason for buffalo from 1900 to 1902.The Minister of Customs had a bill put
