on April 2, 1000, $100,000; on Feb.il, 1901, $233,333; on Aug.10, 1901, $200,000; on Feb.10, 1902, $233,334.\u2018Barly in March, Mr.Chisholm approached the Montreal manager with a view to financing this scheme, but was informed that the bank would not consider it, and that he could not hope for any assistance from us beyond transrerring the money to Denver, through our New York office.He then went to R.Wilron-Smith, Meldrum & Co., who, he states, led him to believe would underwrite it for him.A day or two before March 15, howover, when the first payment had to be made, Smith, Mel- drum & Co., told him that they had not \u2018been able to make thé necessary arrangements with their bankers, and.would have to detiine tho transaction.Chisholm thero- an undertook to put thé.deal.through alone, and by means of notes of parties who took stock in the concern (known as.the Stanley mine), he obtained $32,000 from the Merchants Bank of Canada, and $26,000 from the Bank of Nova Bcotis, and called upon ous: Mentreal manager on March 13, pos \u2018urgently ueating \u2018him to advance the remainin ,000,.as the money had to be paid im Denver that day, and hé.did.not have.time to raise the money outside.In \u2018view of this fact, Mr.Brock:let him have the amount by way of overdraft, taking as security: the following notes, endorsed by Joshua A-.Bell: Charles Langlois & Co, s12,d00;.A.7.Grant, $6,000; , T, J.Chis- holu SH560;.with- the understanding that \u2018thé amount would be paid \u2018in two or three through sales of stack.Mr.Chis- 1 \u201choavever, was taken 11] next day, and \u2018was unable to keep his promise._sAdter all this wns over, Mr.Brock and J agreed to go qut to ses Mr.Chisholm at bis hause-in Westmount in the afternoon, but he: stated that he was too ill to receive us, and requesting us te postpone our visit until the evening, \u2018which we accordingly did.We were more or less repared \u2018for \u2018bad news, but it Was, -nevartheless, a tetri- \u2018ble shock to us when Chisholm informed us that practically the whole of the wWaro- house receipts which we hold against our advances 10 the Croil & McCullough Dairy paper they were written on, so far as the goods they represented weve concerned.Through ma- cKinations of McGillls, the office manager of the Btorage Company, snd the alleged connivance of Crofl & McCullough, nearly all of the warehouse receipts for cheese and butter which wa hold are bogus; that is, there are no goods to represent them in the Storage Company's warehouse.The goods were examined by two officers of the bank lest fall, and found in order, but it row appears as if they were intentionally depoived.\u2018To -secure.r,payment of the- $100,000 -ad- vanced 3 Toebergar.ove have the written ès ue agresmhent of \u2018A.Bell to repay $60,- 000 on or 1 7, and $40,000 more i and -Chisholm, who Lut of bed to-morrow or mext day, post y \u2018asserts that be will take up the ,000 by the middle of next week out \u2018of sales of mjue stock, .This, company on be.incorporated and serip {ssued be- ore April-15, and hi of T cont shure May 1.From sales af of the Grand \u2018Truek ;

they were treated as joint debtors.It was decided to have the document produced; and in further cross-examination witness said that the bank had never rendered an account to Croil & MeCuliougk, showing their indebtedness to the bank, other than the pass-book, which should correspond with the bank ledger.So far as Croll & McCullough were concerned, they would know nothing about the account, No.2.Mr.Brock was not present at the interview with McCullough, when the latter admitted having benefited to the \u2018extent of $560,000 by the frauds.Witness did not recollect, at that interview, Mr.Brock asking McCullough, \u2018Does that include the Campbell paper?hisholm was present at that interview, but witness did not remember having asked him on that occasion if he had got any of the money, as he nad previously denied having had any.Witness said they did not make any demand upon the Croil & McCullough Company for payment, but that they did from Chisholm, as guarantor of thé account.\u2018When -MoGillis and McCullough were ar- \u2018rested Chisholm was left out of the original charge becduse the bank was advised by their solicitors that they had not suff- cient legal evidence at the time.It was the bank\u2019s intention from the beginning to \u2018prosecute the men sodner or later.Mr.W.M.Ramsay, local manager of \u2018the Merchants Bank of Canada, was recalled.He said that in March last, he was informed that some of the goods for which the bank had warehouse receiote were not in storage Ho interviewed all the accused \u2018in respect to it, and McGillis blamed him- .gelf for his weakness in permitting the \u2018continued abstraction of goods by the Croil :& MeCullough Dairy Compary.\u2018I sent \u2018for McCullough,\u2019 continued the witness, \u2018and said to him: \u201cI am told you have stolen some of our goods.\u201d He admitted that he had, but no figure was mentioned.\u2018His answer was pretty.cool, no expression of contriteness.-I therefore sald to him: «J suppose you are aware this is an offence that may lesd to the penitentiary.\u2019 ] asksd him why he had done so?Iie sald he had lost monsy in his business.1 then spoke as if I took it for granted Chisholm was necessarily implicated, and \u2018he said he was not.I then demanded repayment of the advances, using the expression: '\u201cWhat do you propose to do about it?\u2019 He said he had certain friends in the States to whom he could write, and it was his desire to make what restitution he could, and he would -writà at oncé.After a short delay, I called him up \u2018by -tele- phone and asked him if be had heard \u2018anything from his friends id the States, and he said, *No.\u201d\u201d 1 had an interview \u2018with Chisholm regarding thege transactions and his first statement made to \u2018me was pay its first dividend | ÿ v he became aware of it le Croil & McCullough had \u2018improperly ab- stractéd goods from.tne warehouse of tHe \u2018Montreal Cold Storage and Freezing Co.: that it bad been done, in the firét place, with McQillis\u2019s knowledge, and that when was \u2018morally -too Bot, dos fim gamer .WEDNESDAY, Ocrorzs 17, 1900, ÿ JOHN MURPHY & CO.{ (Our, Store will be Closed To-morrow, \u2018Thanksgiving Day.)

the people of Ontario in their general welcome of him at Toronto were proud of him as a Britisher and especially esteemed him as a Britisher of French origin.Of course the Toronto demonstration was a political demonstration, but it was also much more, and it does not matter how the elections go, whether for or aguinst the Liberals, yesterday's welcome in Toronto will remain a genuine outburst of hearty admiration for the French-Canadian statesman by the Eng- lish-speaking people and as such it will, we hope, afford gratification to the French-Canadian people.It should be regarded as the English-Canadians\u2019 re- gponse to the French Canadian Premier's declaration of his mission as a statesman, namely, to promote the friendship, peace, fraternity and union of the French and British

Netherlands Railway Company (a foreign corporation) of the Transvaal made war on its own account against the British Government, and destroyed railways in the British colonies, lies in the fact that it will justify the government of the Vaal River State in ending the Netherlands Railway Company's railway monopoly in the colony on terms more favor able to the government than could otherwise have been arranged.The Neth: erlands Oompary will find itself respon- gible for a big bill of damages to the British, which will be set against the monopoly privileges which it had secured from the late Transvaal government.The Netherlands Company\u2019s railway The Orange River Colony Railway -be- longs to the.colony, and probably the Vaal River Colony railways will be tek- en from the Netherlands Company and also controlled and managed by the new government.rt THE PREMIER IN ONTARIO.We think that the people of Canada have reason for rejoicing, and that they will, on full consideration, heartily rejoice, over the magnificent reception of the Premier of the Dominion by the people of Ontario at Toronto last evening.For it is evident that the general welcome of the Premier was not a mere political or party demonstration; the students of the colleges, who seem to have all taken part in the proceedings, without reference to their political preferences, probably present truly the attitude of the people generally of Ontario towards Sir Wilfrid Laurier when they are not considering political issues in election times.Personally the Pre- people; his integrity is not doubted by even his political foes, who accuse his colleagues of misleading bim, and that \u201c| his aims are bigh and patriotic is perfectly manifest to every one.His moderation and wisdom in pursuing his high objects and his success so far in reconciling race and \u2018religious différences are becoming understood and appreei- ated.He manages Mas vince the minds of the tre ity or Hs dians,, whether\u2019

\u2018credit has brought even governments \u2018and states into embarrassment.Credit \u2018is invaluable under one aspect, but \u2018 equally dangerous in another.It may \u2018be wholesome food; it may be deadly \u2018poison, And whether it is one or the \u2018other depends upon the banker.The \u2018 dispensing of credit is really an edu- \u2018 cation in the knowledge of men; it is \u2018an education in the art of criticising \u2018and giving proper value to statements \u2018and reports, in detecting what is false * and misleading, and in estimating pro- \u201c Perly those that are true;

to Ce Chi] md.est\u2018 oid to be complete when the bauker had learned the high art of gétting the best interest out of investments combined with perfect safety.Mr.Hague, of course, did not mean to infer that those who daily dispense enormous sums in credit could ever become infallible, but he did presume that the educated banker would take the minimum of risks and would proteet his loans bv the exercise of the most scrupulous care.In the case of the advances by several of our banks upon the warehouse receipts of the Montreal Cold Storage & Freezing Company very little seems to have been done, either to find out whether the goods were actually in the warebouse or whether they were abstractel afterwards.A warehouse réceipt umder present conditions san never be an ideal security, as the gooda are never in the custody of the banker, who has no means of guarding them from the fraudulently disposed.In the present case, it is acknowledged that money wag advanced upon paper which represented po value and that little effort was made to check the goods against the worthless receipts at the time when the advances were made.Such trust in fallible human nature, Mr.Hague did not mention as one of the desirable attributes of the educated banker, and the present case is only one in- sfance of bow disastrous it may prove to all concerned.&o far as the advances of money made | on worthless securities were due to cerelessness or other causes, the bank- era will have to answer to the directors and shareholders of the banks, but the case hag a much darker side, with which the public is very much concerned.For instance, the local manager of one of the banks concerned advanced over one bindred thousand dollars upon fraudulent receipts, but although he discovered the frauds in March he took no steps to vindioaté public justice, and neither the meantime, he had recovered the wholé of the money from: the managing director.of îhe company.Although the managing \u2018director had acowad a | busines fives \u2018of-stealing certain \u2018fools That Sir Wiltrid Laurier has been one and the secretary-treasurer of the Cold \u201cdid\u201d \u201cfie discover: the matter to.his di- | rectors till-about the middle.of July.jn | Storage Company of improperly issuing warehouse \u2018receipts, no effort was made by him to bring these accused to justice, although the bank manager acknowledges saying \u2018If euch were the case, the whole pack of them should be sent down.\u2019 The law gives two definitions of compounding a felony; one is: \u2018To compound with a felon is to take the goods stolen or other amends (compensation) upon an agreement not to prosecute.\u2019 The other is: \u2018To compound a felony is to take a money consideration and forbear to prosecute.\u201d According to ihe latter definition, the bank manager seems to have been open to the charge of having e¢ngagad in compounding a felony from March 23 to the middle of July.Another bank which has been victimized, has at length taken the necessary steps to discover \u2018the guilty parties, but even the general manager of this bank acknowledges having done busi ness after the discovery of the frauds with one of those whom he believed to have assisted in committing them, with the object of covering up the frauds.Nearly half 'a year elapsed between the discovery of the crimes and the initiation of criminal proceedings, during which time the bank took every means to protect itself from loss and during which time the guilty were at liberty to further prey upon the public.In his cross-examination yesterday, this general manager stated that one of the members of the business firm before alluded to acknowledged benefitting to the extent of fifty thousand dollars, but in his statement regarding the bank\u2019s relations with the Cold Storage Company, published about the middle of September, the manager said: \u2018Who are the \u2018 guilty parties ?This question has giv- \u2018en us much -concern, and so far we \u2018have not been able to arrive at anv \u2018 conclusion as to who they really are.The public will find these two statements very hard to reconcile.The case is now sub judice, and whether the parties now charged with the perpetration of the frauds are innocent or guilty must be left to a jury of their peers.But it is no interference with justice to añimadvezt upon the part the aks, | in quefion took in this cause gudte à bre TA bank oe.oth \u2018er \u2018cornoration whiok.condones traus- \u2018 actions which it has reasonable grounds \u2018to believe fraudulent, helps the spread \u2018 of commercial immorality, and lowers \u2018the basis of safety which should be its \u2018own protection against loss in ware- \u2018house receipt transactions; and if a \u2018bank will not do its plain duty in such \u2018 circumstances, but prefers, rather than \u2018make a loss, to let guilty men escape, \u2018 whom shall we look to for an exam- \u2018ple oi ethical principles and square \u2018dealing?Canadian legislation peculiarly favors the business of banking, because these institutions, with few exceptions, have been conducted upon the | highest principles of business morality.Any departure from these principles, therefore, must be detrimental to the business of banking as à whole, besides being a cheating of justice.The law rightly puniehes the compounding of a felony with fine and imprisonment, because it prevents the due administra tion of justice, alldtts the felon to repeat his offence with added .and engenders in him the belief i be

exclude the press \u2018from: the eonferenes meetings of to-day.Among the subjects discussed were the validity of Roman Catholic orders, and \u201cthe .advisability of the General Synod of Cannda

development was shown 1.- fact that while in 1800 there were .six missionary socicties, there were - five hundred; and in comparison w the 150 missionaries of 1800, al .there were now 15,000, both men women.The colonial and miss.- bishoprics had increased from two.ninety-four.The progress in the a ous fields was reviewed, and refor- was made to methods of work, :r.1,: tion of the Bible, medical mission», women\u2019s work, educational anl 5: trial missions.The secretary read pavers by t'.v | L.N.Tucker, M.A., of Vancouvs C., on \u2018The forward poñiey of Church,\u2019 and by the Rev.Canin For nerst, M.A., of Hamilton, on Prayer book revision and enrichment\u2019 Ti.latter paper showed that «ine ln), nearly two centuries and a ha\u2019 English vrayer-bock had remainr: à most unaltered.It could be mu.- preved by adapting itself to yn needs.However suited in a yop way to conservative people in the E.\u2026 lish state church, the prayer-book w-s not calculated to win its way unmo- fied outside of England.At the Rev.lution the American branch of the En- lish Church quickly perceived this, ail modified the book to suit American ¢ = ditions.without the sacrifice of tu; or doctrine.Much the same mod:ñra- tion, and possibly more, was needel : - the Canadian Churen, but we were - conservative of English precedent i: we were loath to take the initiative.Canon Forneret would urge author\u201d: to shorten certain services.This h.! been recognized even in England ip t.: \u2018shortened form\u2019 of morning and eve ing prayer on week days.Why no some curtailment on Sundays ?\u2018Rigs or wrongly, there had been of late year: a change in the popular temper.Pe ple thought and acted more guickly ani were impatient of delay.It was na wholly impiety that called out for siin-: services and sermons.It was, in pir at any rate, the high-strung moder: life, This should be met, not by rus!- ing the services, but by shortening them.Why should they In one session of public worship say the Lord's Prayer four times ?It was to make a fetish of it, Why = uy two creeds ?Why repeat the whole of Dearly - beloved brethren\u2019 at \u2018no Profi\u2019 s ompelitng sense of its fi ness, vir., after the third collect at morning preyer to read on alternate Sundays the litany or the ante-com- raunica, not both.The litany 1tseli should be shortemed when used wi any other service.The office of Holy Communion should be shortened for early celebrations and for the sick.The baptismal offices would be more edifying if much of ther explanatory matter were bracketed for optional use.The Catechism could be simplified in certain expressions.The wording of the American burial service was generally more fitting than ours, except when the departed was known te have been a true Christian.And O for the common-sense of permitting mar riage \u2018in gome proper house\u2019 besides in the bedy of the church.Canon Forn-ret discussed a number of other points in which the prayer book might be adapted to present needs.and suggested further that the useful ness of the book would be greatly in creased by making its use permissive instead of obligatory.The exclusive use of forms of prayer in a book seemed to rob wership of much spontaeity and freedom, to its great detriment.The clergy were pledged to use no other forms of prayer in church, No doub: there had be:n periods when such pledges and prescriptions were uselul and necessary; bit bad mot the Church outgrown such times ?The writer be lieved that when the Church saw her way \u2018to grant this Wberty, with her fell blessing, she would bave done much to smoothing the way to the reunion pi Christendom, whose divisions were more a matter of sentiment than they might think.A paper was also read by the

BENNING & BARSALOU, Auctieneers.A ST.LAWRENCE DIVISION.Stirring Speech by Mr, Tarte at Last Night's Meeting.THE CANADIAN WHO WOULD CHANGE BRITISH FOR FRENCH WOULD BE A FOOL, HE BAYS.Mr.\u2018Bickérdik@s* supporters ia Bt.Lawrence Division are to with the success of their rally in the Monu- went National last eveming.There were only three days spent in organizing it, the object being merely to inaugurate Mr.Bicksrdike\u2019's campaign.There were two or three other Liberal meetings in various parts of the city, and the night was one sufficiently bleak and raw to keep any but the most enthusiastic at home.And all of Mr.Bickerdike\u2019s committee were kept hard at work, yet there were over a thousand of the solid business men of St.Lawrence Division in the Monument National when the meeting opened, and before long, as the division workers got through with their outside work and the committee rooms emptied, the hall was well filled.It was a large and most enthusiastic meeting, and certainly one of the largest meetings of the electors of a single division ever held in Canada.His Worship Mayor Prefontaine presided and with him on the platform were Dr.E.P.Lachapeile and Lieut.Col.J.P.Cooke, joint-chairmen of Mr.Bickerdike\u2019s committee; the Hom.J.I.Tarte, Minister of Public Works; the Hon.H.T.Duffy, Provincial Treasurer; the Hon.J.K.Ward, the Hon.Senator Dandurand, Mr.N.W.Trenholme, Mr.Rudolphe \u2018Lemieux, Q.C., the Rev.Jom MecKillican, ex-Ald.Farrell, ex- Ald.Reneault, ex-Ald.P.E.Paquette, J.M.M.Duff, Seth P.Leet, QC., F.W.Hibbard, J.M.Ferguson, E.J.Chambers, Jos.Melancon, J.B.A.[anctot, YW, Mitchell, J.S.Buchan, W.Drysdale, H, Christie, Chas.Archer, T.J.- O'Neill, A.Coté, Jos.Fortier, J.O'Leary, J.Brooke Claxton, Joseuh Meunier, Alphonse Marcotte, J.Crowe, J.McGlynn, Thos.Sonne, Thos.Kneen und many others.The meeting was stristly for business and there were no fireworks, no bands or minstrels and no flags until the Liberal Students\u2019 Club and the Letellier Club marched into the gallery headed by their handsome club flags, which they waved over the balcony during the proceedings.Brief speeches were given by the Mayor and Dr.Lachapelle, who read to Mr.Bickerdike an adcress from the electors of St.Lawrence Ward express ing their gratification at the prospect of being represented in parliament by so sterling a business man and admirable a citizen generally.Mayor Prefoataine took occasion to add a few words of personal commendation.He had been associated with Mr.Bickerdike on the Harbor Boasd, he explained, and could testify to his great capacity, his unselfish devotion to the public interest and to his freedom from narrow prejudices of any kind, THE CANDIDATE SPEAKS.Mr.Bickerdike, who received a most enthusiastic reception, remarked that any man would have reason to feel proud of such a reception as he had been given by the people of St.Lawrence Division.He had been a citizen of Montreal since 1860 and his record was before the people.He had tried to live the life of a straightforward, respectable business man, with his future in his own hands, but with a duty owing to the public.Consequently he had never shirked any public duty which had been pointed out to him, had such duty been small or great.He had been pressed very hard to accept the nomination in St.Lawrence Division, and though it entailed some sacrifices on his part he had been glad to accept because he was assured his acceptance would contribute to the success of the party led by Sir Wilfrid Laurier.His acceptance of this nomination meant his resignation of bis seats in the Quebec Assembly and on the Harbor Board, but he also \u201con- fidently believed that it meant his election to the House of Commons.Mr.Bickerdike went on to say that he appealed as a business man to the electors of St.Lawrence Division to support him as the supporter of Sir Wilfrid Taurier, whose government had given Canada the most business-like administration it had ever had, and also the era of most pronounced prosperity the country had ever enjoyed.There was not a man in St.Lawrence division who had not known that the city and country were more prosperous to-day than ever they were, and why in the world they should want a change, he as a business man, could not imagine.Sir Charles Tupper and his friends had declared before the last general elections that if the Liberals were returned to power grass would soon grow in the streets of Montreal.Had the grass grown the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier would have been blamed for it.Now, that after four years of Liberal Government, there was the hum and bustle of unprecedented proeperity in the streets and byways of Montreal, instead of the promised grass crop, the Liberals must receive some credit for it.He came out as a candidate pledged to support this government of progress, prosperity and real practical patriotism.In conclusion, Mr.Bickerdike said he might erystalize his platform into a few words: \u2018One Queen, one flag and one leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier.\u2019 Mr.Bickerdike also spoke in French, which he uses with as much freedom as his mother tongue, and sat down amidst the greatest enthusiasm.FRENCH-CANADIANS ARE LOYAL.Mr.Rodolph Lemieux, ex-M.P.for Gaspé, Was the next speaker, who who fe |i viewed the pee dore by the ibe 1 party since: it-ebtained io power.+ urged the Freuch-Canudians-to resent the.imputation.which.hed been cast upon their race by the Tories.They had been painted as traitors, as men dis loyal to the Queen, who had granted them the charter of their liberties.Mr.Lemieux remarked : \u2018We French-Cane- diane are loyal to the last drop of our blood to the flag that protects us.We each one of us feel like our great chieftain, Sir Wilfrid Laurier : \u2018I am a British subject, and I accept all the responsibilities.attaching to that position.\u201d Let us, then, as devoted and loyal sons of Her Majesty Queen Victoria make it our duty to defeat the men who would stir up racial strife and revolution among her loyal people.Mr.Lemieux\u2019s remarks were greeted with tremendous applause.WORDS OF PRAISE.The Hom.H.T.Duffy, the next speaker, remarked that there sremed to be mo doubt about Mr, Bickerdike\u2019s election, but he urged every individual elector to make jt his business to make sure of the result, Mr, Bickerdike had been in business for forty years in Montreal, and bed earned such a wholesome, honorable reputation that the business community had honored him with the most splendid credential it could possibly bestow, the presidency of the Montreal Board of Trade.That was the kind of men a business division like that of St.Lawrence wanted to represent them in parliament.Mr.Duffy assured his hearers that since Mr.Bickerdike took his seat in the Quebec Assembly no member had better served his country, his city and his constituents than Mr.Bickerdike.He was an indefatigable worker, and took such broad views upon all important questions that he was not looked upon ae a party men, Speaking of the records of the two par- when Sir Wilfrid attained power.Now there was prosperity and good will throughout the country and harmony in the cabinet ; in 1806 there were violent dissensions in the cabinet, and in the country the different nationalities were being ruthlessly stirred up to fratricidal strife and mistrust of one another, Was there any sensible man who could may that anything hed occurred since 1896 to make the electorate change its opinion ?Az to the tariff changes, the proof of the pudding was in the eating, so the proof of a tarifi\u2019s quality was in its effect upon the prosperity of the country.Speaking of Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s per- \u2018sonality and claims upon the English- speaking electorate, Mr.Duffy remarked: \u201c After our Premier's life is over and it becomes our sad duty to place a monument over his grave we shall be able to have engraved upon it : \u2018There rests a man who gave his life to make of Canadians a united people.\u2019 Mr.Bickerdike says he is going to Ottaws to support ties, Mr.Duffy contrasted the condition | of the country now with that prevailing\u2019 THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.as that\u2019 man.I ask you to give him your port: £8 TARTE AND THE DISLOYAL CRY.The Hon.Mr.Tarte was in fine form and sppke at length in English, and more briefly in French.He started in at once to demolish the disloyalty cry.\u2018 They say that I am disloyal,\u201d he began, \u2018but they do not prove it.I defy them to prove it, for I am not disloyal, never was and never will be.My opponents have published a pamphlet, full of lies, purporting to be reports of various disloyal speeches made by me while in France.They are most unblushing falsehoods.The Canadian public man who would go to a fureign country, who would utter disloyal words would be a traitor.That man is not myself.The traitors to Her Majesty Queen Victoria and to the British flag which floats over us and grants us all our liberties, are those who try to set the various races in this country against one another.I am addressing a mixed meeting, and the English electors can judge by the way my words are received by the French- Canadians in this meeting how far I express their views.I am a French-Cana- dian\u2014I would be nothing else.My father was a French-Canadian, my mother a French woman.That was an accident of birth, and I could not help it.And I was born under the Union Jack.Yes, and I live under it, and enjoy and appreciate the liberties it represents.I am a loyal subject of Her Majesty the Queen.I deserve no special credit for that.Why should we not be loyal ; are we not happy ?I have just returned from Paris, where I had the opportunity of studying at close range some forty-two different nations and: their forms of government.And I found that no form of government was so satisfactory as ours ; that no people were so free and had so much reason to be happy and contended as have we in this Cunada of ours.\u2019 Speaking of the misrepresentations of his traducers, Mr.Tarte said that he had long ago arrived at the conclusion that the old Conservative party was gone with its old leader.He continued :\u2014 \u2018My traducers say that I tried to sell this country to France, and that if I did not deliver the goods, it was not my fault.Just as if I and the French-Cana- dians are so lost to a sense of honor and all sense of self-interest as to wish to transfer our allegiance from Britain to France! Where is the fool in my race who would for a moment wish to be ruled by France and under the systems which prevail in France?We are French-Canadians, but we are British subjects ; yes, and loyal and devoted subjects of Her beloved Majesty Queen Vie- toria.\u2019 Mr.Tarte appealed to the electors to support the government as a business-like government.They were chargéd with the public expenditure, and it met quite trne-thes there bad been euvh i \u2018our: a.ur expenses, Tell want.to Inacesse 5 ness yon must Bo\u2019 the govérhiment had increased its expenses, but it had increased the country\u2019s revenue id a very much larger proportion, This was so much the case that during the four years the Liberals have been in power they have given surpluses amounting to no lees than $14,000,000 as against the regular deficits of the Conservatives.Everything could not be done in four years, but much had been done, and, manufacturers, banks, farmers and workingmen are prosperous.Everybody is happy\u2014except Sir Charles Tup- per.Mr.Tarte went on to say that in view of the appeals to p Tejudice made by their opponents, the defeat of the Laurier Government would be not only a Canadian but an Imperial disaster, as it would, confirm the-abominable principle that minorities have not equal rights with majorities.Concluding, Mr.Tarte said that he had no doubt of the result in St.Lawrence Division.The Liberal party had a good policy\u2019 and it took care to have good candidates.Robert Bickerdike, he added, was a winner.tp.NOTES AND NOTICES.Japan tea drinkers should certainly try the.New Unoolored Green Tea of Ceylon and India; it has all of the characteristics of a very choice Japan, only that it is more delicious, absolutely all Pure Fea, and of double strength, therefore very economical in use.The \u2018Sal- ada\u2019 Tea Company are selling these New Green Teas in their regulation sealed lead packets, ADVERTISEMENTS.Makothe Hair Grow rad C = purest of oan eg UTIOURA, Test skin cures.\u2018This treatment at once stops falling hair, removes crusts; scales, and dandraff, f itching surfaces, stimulates the Jonisies, supplies the and nourishment, and makes the hair grow when all else fails.rt ERENT \u201cTHE ACADEMIE DE HAS PLACED MÉDECINE OF FRANCE + Apoil inaris \u201cTHE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS.\u201d) At the Head of All the Waters Examined for Purity and Freedom from Disease Germs.\u201d AL UP!

by the strangeness of his eyes and the pallor of his skin alone; and his discovery should be rendered easier by the fact that he is supposed to have a companion.This companion eluded the vigilance of the detectives, who were employed to watch, and left the city on Friday night.Chisholm is supposed to have left about midnight on Saturday.A proper descrip tion of these two, sent to the various po- }ioe stations of this continent, will almost surely lead to their arrest.Public opin- jon is more than ever aroused over the possibility of Chisholm\u2019s escape from the.sutherity of our courts, as the case has many unsavory remifications, and it is almost the unanimous opinion thet his trial is imperatively necessary before they can be thoroughly known and cleansed.The Merchants Bank of Halifax, which instituted the present prosecutions, is exerting every effort to find Chisholm and to bring him back to stand his trial.WELCOME HOME.RECEPTION TO DR.AND MRS.LESLIE AND MISS KING.Last evening a very pleasant reception was given by the pastor and elders of Erskine Church to the members of the congregation, as an occasion of welcoming Dr.and Mrs.Leslie and Mise King, returned from China.À large and representative gathering was present, among others all the members of the kirk session with the exception of one only.;

but Certain thefts, and the length of time occupied by the car in taking in the whole system, led to the new method of payment by cheque.These are forwarded from the head office in Montreal by express to the various divisions and stations, according to lists which have been sent in beforehand, and which contain every name and the amount of wages due.When the heads of a division receive the cheques, they ure torwarded to the several stations in the particular jurisdiction, and the station- agent distributes them.There 1s little nolse or excitement, but when there 1s a large number of employees in the neighborhood of the head office, as there was on Monday in and about the Windsor station, one.13 aware that something unusual is bappening.Just now there are many hundreds of laborers filling fn.the trestlework west of the station yard; then thére are the scerés of cleaners, yard hands and the ITke.\u2018These assemble in groups and wait their turtt.~ \u2018There are many trials in connection with rallway work,\u2019 a minor official remarked yesterday: \u2018but pay day offers compensation.| If you are dealing direttly with th you.have to exercise constant pati good temper; every man must render\u2019 uu- questioning obedience to his superigr \u2018; there 1s hurry and constant tax upoh one's strength and energy; but \u2018\u2018the 16th\u2019 is a day to be looked forward to with pleasure- ble anticipations.It is a drop of, honey in the gall of lifé, if a railway man dared to use a poetic expression.The smallest salary bulks somewhat at the end of the month, anil every man wears a joyful countenance when the \u2018\u2018ghost walks.\u2019 \u2019 In the case of laboring men and other employees whose wages are small, it would seem as though weokly,or at least fortnightly, payments, would meet the case better than moathly, but the company finds it more convenleni, considering the number of the employees and the manner in which they are ecâtterod between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, to maintain the monthly payment.The poorest laborer will get credit if i* is known that he has his pay to draw at the end of the month.Years ago, there was tremendous exclte- ment when the pay day passed (upon one occasion), and no money was forthcoming: but the pay day of the C.P.R.is a regular institution now, which can be depended on.As a fact, many of the employees are carried from month to month by their grocer and butcher.Very little is lost, for the men have steady work, and it is to their advantage to maintain their credit unimpaired.\u2014 PROPERTIES SOLD FOR TAXES DUx.The following is a list of the properties disposed off at sheriff\u2019s sale on Monday, for ron-payment of municipal taxes: J.B.OH.Desjardins, 28 and 30 St.Gabriel street, sold to P.Deserres, for $3,900;

and I enter the contest with the determination that, result as it may, my friends and I shall come out of it without stain; that neither directly nor indirectly will I be à party to any expenditure of money in connection with the election, beyond what is strictly within the spirit ea well as the Tetter of the law.It would be a poor compliment to the intelligence, the fair-mindedness and the manliness of the electors of St.Antéine Division to suppose otherwise.It\u2019 will be for the electors themselves to debide whether this attitude is one which should have their support.oY To win no efforts will be spared that commend themselves to public-spirited citizens, but none other will be countenanced, and when ft.Antoine Division is placed in the-right column, the electors will have the setisfaotion afterwards of knowing that not a dollar wax improperly used on my behalf, and.of feeling, too, that St.Antoine Division has set an example that the rest of thy Dominion may well follow.With that declaration I cheerfully and hopefully solicit the suffrages of thé elde- tors.In conclusion, I may say that in con: senting to remain in public life for another term, I am, apart from my other.parliamentary duties, actuated by a sle- sire to carry through some special legislation which my friends, and \u2018eveh uty adversaries, have been good enough to say is of vital importance to the health and well-being of the people.T.G.RODDICK:.,} M°\" TREAL .WEEKLY \u201cWITNESS.\u201d OT READY FOR MAILING TO ABSENT FRIENDS.\u2018 Vik od THE WORLD va ro alps sci reg + Cros LA THN GENBRAL SECTION, ae od DIDATRS.| fon SOUTH AFRICAN 1 \u2018BOER GURBRILIA TACTICS.\u2019 LT a 2, CHINA'S IMPERIALISTS AND REBEL BOXERS.Cther Articles \u2014 Destryctive Flaods in New Brunswick\u2014A New British Coaling Station\u2014The Strikers.Accepted ;Tan .Percent Increase\u2014Carlist\u2019 Astaton ud rn luticn of Blanche Titus\u2014Ohil des \u2014Garden Talks\u2014The Indian F jr \u2014Literary Review\u2014British Dci toons\u2014Boys' Pag» Stories and > .ish News\u2014The Late Mr.McRae\u2014o > Abrced\u2014Dominion Blections\u2014Indiag: Re serve Appointments\u2014rartisan History~\u2014Re- leased Prisoners\u2014Cause of the Chinese Ris- ing\u2014A Train Robber Killed\u2014Malapia-Fests \u2014Death of Lord Fairtax\u2014Agricuitural and Hcrticultural, Legal, Medical, and Gensral Answers\u2014Letters from Raeadere\u2014Bible Bo- ciety Column\u2014G.T.R.'
