they may be, because of the very high rates of insurance which they are exacting on risks inward and outward, driving business away from the port of Montreal, import: ers and exporters preferring to have their goods come and go by some- other way than submit to the onerous charges at this port.AN IMPORTER.Montreal, Nov.23, 1900.The Montreal representatives of marine insurance are as much interested as any | body can be in the prosperity of the St.Lawrence route, and are no doubt sen- gitively.alive to the danger here referred to.We understand their contention to be that such is the record of this route that if it were separated from all others in insurance calculations the rates would absolutely need to be still heavier than they are, and that no system of underwriting, not even a government one, which should depend alone on the risks between Montreal and the sea, could maintain an existence.eee THE HOLY COMMUNION.(To the Editor of the \u201cWitness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014As an evangelical churchman I have been interested to see the correspon: dence in your paper thanking certain clergymen for choral communions, and also for an occasional public or open ad- noons from two to four are given to talks.and lectures on various subjects.Gerner Craig and Bleury streets.science, Froebel occupation, hygiene, his- ministration of this holy sacrament in the presence of the people.I have been sorry to see a correspondent opposing chi de i would be helpful.*\" Pethaps my experience may not be un: or ofr she adr obo alr obs ade abe afr ofe afr ode ofr ofr ole Monpary, Novenser 20, 1400.any former effort, + JOHN MURPHY & CO.= > WAIT NUR TOY, DOLL and Nov.# ELTY DEPT.is rapidly get- 3 AND | ting into ship-shape order for the + SEE! service of Santa Claus.In extent :% Hi and variety, its collection of \u201chappy surprises\u201d for the children will be far ahead of WAIT AND SEE!

some is not, I hold, an adequate reason why it should not be used by others.There are tens of thousands of English Church people who never, alas, saw this service.We want them to see it.Not to be \u2018gazers, but that they may be partakers, obeying thus the Saviour\u2019s invitation, \u2018Do this in remembrance of me.\u2019 For myself I thank God that I was led to have a public administration of the Holy Communion recently.Some came to it who had never partaken before: the number who communicated was three times that which ordinarily does so, and nearly twice as large as the greatest number we ever had before.It was a beautiful, helpful, solemn service, though ib was not choral.Where an occasional administration is possible I am interesting to my clerical and lay brethren.W.J.TAYLOR.St.James Rectory, St.Mary's, Ont, Nov.15, 1900.ST.ANDREW'S SOCIETY.\u2014 THE ANNUAL SERMON AT ST.PAUL'S CHURCH.The members of the St.Andrew's Society attended divine service yesterday afternoon at St.Paul\u2019s Church, on which occasion the annual sermon was preached by the Rev.Professor Ross.At the vestry of the church they were met by the members of the Caledonian Society in a body, who accompanied them into the church.The sermon was of a most eloquent description, being taken from Psalm lxi., 5 ou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name\u2019 The society under whose auspices they were met, he said, had been instituted to promote good feeling and kindly intercourse among Scotchmen and their descendants, to perpetuate among them the worthier traditions and memories of their native land, and to give relief in cases of destitution and suffering.Is was fitting, therefore, that in its presence a tribute should be offered to those who formed Scottish national character and moulded that type of mental and religious life which Scotchmen of the resent day were privileged to share.peaking of the heritage which they had received from their fathers, he said it was fitting that the heir who had enter- thered by the brain power of an an- Cooter, and who had been raised thereby to a position of comfort and influence, should lovingly cherish the memory of his benefactor.And it was equally proper that, before a society called after one whose chief distinction was his unobtrusive service in leading other men to the Redeemer\u2019s feet, they Lshould recall their indebtedness to the fathers who had passed before them.From their Scottish ancestors most of them had inherited a good sound physique, and from their fathers they had received a heritage of mental vigor and moral stability character.There was a heritage of intellect as well as of physique, although it was more difficult to trace, and seemed subject to more dis- burbing influences.A craving for knowledge had been one of their most pronounced national characteristics, and bad moulded the national life after a distinct pattern.Again, they had inherited from the men of old an ent love of their country.Patriotism raised a mau above the meanness of selfishness, and made him a true man.He who was filled with emotion at the thought of his native land, had in him the elements of which pbilanthropic and missionary zeal could be built.The refining influences of patriotism could be seen in the history this land during the last few years.ing of Canada as a part of the empire, he said that our national life, which had long been growing in Km in -our mother's house, suddenly tool up the duties of maturity: A nation was born in a day.Nevermore could ed, without any effort, on possessions | we go back to the swaddling bands of infancy or the tutelage of early youth.After remarking on the influences which brought about the new departure in Canada\u2019s relation to the Mother Land, Professor Ross went on to say that Scotchmen had also received from theic fathers a heritage of faith in the living God.Their primary duty was to hand down the inheritance unimpaired.Of the noble inheritance of their birthright they were but trustees.Aften- tion needed to be given to the maintaining of the traditions of Scottish family life.The ordinances of worship anid instruction which proved to be good for themselves would prove to be good for those who came after.In conclusion, the preacher urged purity and honesty in business life, and the cultivation of a charitable spirit.TORONTO SCOTCHMEN.Toronto, Nov.26.\u2014St.Andrew\u2019s Society\u2019s annual service and sermon at the new St.Andrew\u2019s Church last evening yes very largely attended, despite the inc eather.The service throughout Shas Fo highly triode chars r.The Rev.Armstrog Black eloquently depicted John Knox as the Scottish Samuel.He addressed the members of St.Andrew\u2019s Society as fellow-countrymen.The text was Samuel, vii, 2.The preacher found in the feuds and contentions which had rent Scottish clans for generations, a parallel to the tribal tribulations of the children of Israel.It was not until Knox arose and rallied the clans religiously that Scotland could be called a compact and united nation.Patriotism such as that of a Samuel or Knox was in its very essence religious.Patriotism usually was the fruit of a beautiful home life.The love of home was a marked characteristic of Scottish character.It was the first duty of Scoichmen everywhere to seek after and succor those fellow-countrymen who had become wrecks from the land of the heather.Such was the noblest work of St.Andrew\u2019s Society.NEW CHURCH DEDICATED.\u2014 x OPENING SERVICES IN POINT ST.CHARLES BAPTIST CHURCH.The new Point St.Charles Baptist Church was formally dedicated yesterday.In the morning and evening the pulpit was occupied by the Rev.Ü.A.Eaton, D.D., of Toronto, and in the afternoon by the Rev, Melvin Taylor, pastor of Centenary Methodist Church.The theme of Mr.Eaton\u2019s morning discourse was contained in Paul\u2019s first letter to Timothy, the latter portion of the first chapter.Dr.Eaton emphasized the absolute necessity of the new birth.It was essential that a man be born again in order to become a Christian.He declared the church of God the greatest imperialism the world had seen.It was universal and the local church was part of it.He consequently urged the necessity of the local church fulfilling its mission in its place as a part of the universal church of God, whether it be a Methodist, a Presbyterian, a Roman Ca- tholie, a Baptist or any other Christian church.It was necessary that the members of the local church be generous Christians, \u2018be all things to all men) said the speaker.There was no room for the religious crank or the small or mean Christian, because such irdividuals were unlike Christ.The speaker then referred to the gigantic work which had been performed by the Christian Church in the salvation of the world.The members of the local church should follow Christian leadership, they should be loyal to their church, their pastor; let him never have to ask for money, but let the church provide him with all the necessary funds.Stand by your pastor in your prayers, said Dr.Eaton, and attend the week evening services.By so doing yoy become the power behind the throne.He said there were only two classes of members who could not attend the week evening ser- shreds sdralr vices They were those who were : pelled to work at night, and mi who were enraged with the cares of - household.Concluding, Dr.Eaton ferred to the important place the Bin - Church was filling in the Dominion, à- church of liberty, of democracy and union.In the evening Dr.Eaton addressed very large congregation, the edifice be : crowded to the doors.+ GRACE BAPTIST CHURCH.Next Sunday being the anniversary of Grace Baptist Church.Westmount, the Rev.E.K.Cressey, of New York, wi was formerly pastor of the First Bapti-: Church, in this city, will preach for the.cn that day, and every day this wee! He occupied the pulpit at both servie - vesterday.His text last evening was Heb.ii, 9: \u2018He tasted death for every man.\u2019 Christ's life alone, the preach r said, could not save us; but the faut that he tasted death for every man, invests every soul with a sacredness, and makes it possible for everyone to be gavel Without Christ, \u2018man at his best estate is altogether vanity.\u2019 A considerable number stayed to the after-meeting which followed the regular service., \u2014\u2014 SUCCESSFUL BAZAAR.THE HOMEOPATHIC HOSPITAL WILL BENEFIT.The bazaar held in the Windsor Saturday, under the auspices of the More real Homeopathic Hospital, was very successful.The several booths and stalls were very tastefully arranged, and were wel) patronized during the afternoon and evening.The

Touran- geau, Chevalier and Durette, as they were committing a highway robbery.In the end he was only able to secure Durette, but Detectives Charpentier, Giguere and Wilson managed on Friday to arrest the other two men.Jean Chevalier was wanted for breaking into Mr.Dubuc's grocery at the corner of Lafontaine and Panet streets.He is, beside, a ticket-of-leave man from St Vincent de Paul penitentiary.Tourangeau was concerned in a robbery of 18 pairs of shoes from a store in this city over a year ago, but got away as sonn &s a warrant was out for his arrest.The case came before

INIQUITY OF THE GERRYMANDER.Ottawa, Nov.26.\u2014The correspondent of the \u2018Witness\u2019 has completed a calculation of the popular vote in the Province of Ontario on the late Dominion elections, which will prove of deep interest.What wil] strike the observer at first glance is the disproportion between the vote polled for Liberal candidates in \u201che various electoral districts and the number of Liberal members elected to serve :n the new par- Lament, The election returns show à choice of fifty-five Conservatives and of thirty-six Liberals out of a total vote of 877,552.In the districts included in the accompanying table the Conservative majority 1s omly 3,286 but if it were the voice of the Province of Ontario as à whole that counted the Conservative plurality of nineteen seats would be but smal! indeed.In other words, if a man\u2019s vote were of the same value wherever he cast it, and if the inequalities existing in favor of the Conservative party by virtue of the gerrymanders of 1882 and 1892 were removed, it would put a very different face upon the outcome of the poll in Ontario.The returns quoted are for the most part from the official figures communicated to the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery here.In instances where the official count has not yet been handed in, use has been made of the figures given out as official by the returning officers.In the cases of Ottawa, Toronto West and Hamilton, where each eleotor marks his ballot for two candidates, account is taken of the highest for each of the party nominees.This seems the only fair way of getting at the popular vote.Again, there are numbered on the government side Messrs, Rogers, McCarthy and Stubbs, nominal independents, who have given the Laurier administration an independent support, and who were in each case opposed bv straight Conservative candidates.Mr.Richardson, who won over Dr.Landerkin in South Grey, is reckoned as a Conservative.The acclamation for Seagram (Conservative) in North Waterloo is paired off against the acclamation of Charlton (Liberal) in North Norfolk.The cases of South Lan- ark, in which there were two Conservatives running, and of South Huron,where two Liberals had the field to themselves, are also paired off.If attention be directed to the result in the province outside of Toronto, where the Conservative plurality was 3,814, it will be discovered that the government has an actual majority of the popular vote, which will be larger when the figures are published for Algoma.The returns of the popular vote may not alter the fact that the Conservative party has a majority of nineteen members from Ontario, but it wipes out the dream of the Conservative party leaders that the government has met with severest condemnation at the hands of the elector: of Ontario.No more convincing proof could be adduced than these returns furnish of the soundness of the claim put forward bv Sir Richard Cartwright and his colleagues that but for the stifling of \u2018his province by the iniquitous gerrymander.the hiving of the Liberals into sections where Liberal sentiment was known to prevail, and the slicing up generally of the constituencies to suit the Conservative party, the government would have at least divided the province evenly with their opponents.There remains to the ministry the consolation that the present state of affairs is one which cannot be endured much longer.The details of the votes are as follows : Lib.Con.Addington .1913 2442 Bothwell .2430 2547 Brant, South .,.2484 2288 Brockville ., .1665 1886 Bruce, East .1763

that the Hon.Mr.Flynn, leader of the Conservative party in the province of Quebec, will take his chances of election in Nicolet.He was formerly member for Gaspe.ST.ANTOINE'S CANDIDATE.Things appear to be a little mixed in Bt.Antoine division, though they will doubtless straighten themselves out by nomination day.A requisition signed by about 140 voters in the constituency has been presented to Mr.Arch.MeGoun, jr., asking him to run in the Liberal interest.This invitation has been accepted by Mr.McGoun.But on Saturday night a Liberal convention was held at the Windsor Hotel under the auspices of the St.Antoine Electoral Association and the Liberal Club.About a hundred delegates were present.The name of Mr.Matthew Hutchinson was proposed by Mr.Robert Bickerdike, and that of Mr.Arch.McGoun, jr., Was placed in nomination by Mr.F.L.Beique.In the re sult Mr.Hutchinson received 98 votes, while only six votes fell to the share of Mr.McGoun.Mr.Hutchinson\u2019s nomination was then made unanimous on a motion moved by Mr.Beique.No Conservative candidate has as yet been nominäted, but the names of Mr.Saumarez Carmichael and Mr.D.R.Mc- Cord have been mentioned in this respect.THE HON.MR.NANTEL ISSUES A MANIFESTO.- The Hon.Mr.Nantel has just issued a manifecto to the electors of the county of Terrebonne, informing them that he will again for the sixth time solicit their confidence and ask re-election.After stating that it is neither chivalrous nor generous to take the electors by surprise, on the very day following a general battle in which the enemy have been crushed down, and at a moment when they cannot oppose the required resistance to instruct the voters, he declares that he does not come forward as an out and out enemy of the Parent Government, but will feel disposed to forget party ties if he finds the present admimatration decided to further the interests of education, colonization and agriculture.The hon, gentleman then gives his views on what should be done for the general progress of the province, and concludes by asking the support of the electors.ELECTION NOTES.The Liberal convention for the county of Argenteuil will meet to-morrow night in the Victoria Hall, Lachute, at two p.m.At three p.m.a public meeting will be held, to which Conservative speakers have been invited.The Liberal speakers will include the Hon.Messrs,

Hon.M.F.Hackett has been renominated in Stanstead county.According to the Quebec \u2018Mercury,\u2019 the Liberals will not run a candidate in Quebec West, There are two nominal Conservatives out in that constituency, one of whom\u2014Mr.Hearn\u2014professes to support the government, while the other\u2014 Mr.Carbray\u2014\u2018declines to offer a factious opposition to the goverument\u2019 The \u2018Mercury\u2019 thinks that the Liberals will either support Mr.Carbray or abstain from voting.Mr.J.E.Perrault, the liberal candidate in Arthabaska, is making an active campaign, making daily speeches at leading centres throughout the division.A new Liberal club has been formed at Magog, and named aftg, the new premier.Meetings are held every evening.Mr.\u20ac.A.Chenevert is running again

WITNESS.THE CZAR'S HEALTH.IMPROVEMENT REPORTED.A DISTINCT Livadia, European Russia, Nov.26 (11 a.m.)\u2014The following bulletin regarding the Czar\u2019s condition has been issued: \u2018The Emperor passed a good day ves- terday.He was able to sleep a little and had some perspiration.At three o'clock in the afterncon his temperature was 99.3; pulse, 76.At nine o'clock in the evening his temperature was 99-55 pulse, 72.His Majesty passed a goo night.He perspired profusely.\u201d This morning the august patient\u2019s condition was very satisfactory.At nine o'clock his temperature was 95.9; pulse, 70.In the general course of his illness, a distinct improvement is observed.\u2019 London, Nov.26.\u2014Since the Czar's 1ll- ness, apparently assumed a serious turn it has been the daily practice of brokers in Paris, London and \u2019elsewhere to announce His Majesty's death.Hence, probably, the report of the Czar's death which reached New York.HUNTING THE BOERS CANADIANS HAD A CLOSE CALL NEAR BELFAST.A correspondent writes from Belfast, S.A.R., under date of Oct.14, as follows: On Thursday, about noon, a man rode in here to report that 300 Boers had raided his farm about six miles southwest of this place, and bad fired at him when he was getting away.\u2018The man was a Yankee irom Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and he said he could lead us right to the kopje where they had their laager.Two troops of the Royal Canadian Dragoons went out with the guns.We advanced cautiously on the farm, and \u2018made good\u2019 the kopjes around it, but failed to flush a Der.Col.Lessard thought the man must have exaggerated the force, because as there were only about 100 in our outfit, they would surely have sailed into us.But the Yankee was positive, and insisted that the Boers were in laager behind a kopje about two miles off.- ing skeptical that a largely superior force of Boers would neglect the chauce to attack under such circumstances, and not caring to risk a mix-up with a largely superior force so late in the day, and far from camp, if they should prove to be there, Col.Lessard decided to return to camp.As we woved away, sure enough the Boers popped up aud fired at us, but did not follow us up.The wisdom of the colonel\u2019s action was amply demonstrated.Yesterday morning there was a deuce of a racket over in the direction in which we had been\u2014 big guns, little guns, pom-poms and Nor- denfeldts all barking at once.About breakfast time an officer rode in and told us that a force under Col.Mahon had stumbled on to our friends, who had shelled him with a long Tom, and miscellaneous smaller guns, und repulsed him with the loss of some traneport and a casualty list of thirty killed and wounded.He was retiring on Machado! dorp, and had sent this officer into Belfast to wire the news.1 In the afternoon French\u2019s division\u2019 came out from there to cover this place,\u201d and we learned that the Boers have.athered in force north and south of us.We must have had rather a close call\" on Thursday.Probably the reason the Boers did not attack us was because they had a bigger game on, and did not want to reveal their presence there in force prematurely.Instead of 300 there were over a thousand, with lots of guns.If we had poked up that laager on Thursday there would have been an interesting matinee performance.Later reports indicate that the Boers have been mobilizing north and scuth of here for several ays past.To-day a division under Smith-Dorrien is mobilizing here.SERGT.EVATT DEAD.Ottawa, Nov.26.\u2014Sir Alfred Milner reports to the Governor-General the death from disease at Waterval of Sergt.Evatt, of D Battery, R.C.A.THE ZIONIST CONGRESS.To-morrow evening, Tuesday, Nov.27, a lecture will be delivered in Karn Hall, 2362 St.Catherine street, by Mr.C.I, de Sola, describing the recent great Zionist congress in London, in which Mr.de Sola took part as a delegate from Canada, The description will be illustrated with stereopticon views, showing various scenes at the congress, and including portraits of many of the most prominent Zionist leaders, and will also be accompanied by appropriate Jewish music.FOUND DEAD BY HIS WIFE.James Harrison, 45 years old, was found dead by his wife at seven o'clock yesterday morning, under the two old quilte that served him for a bed, at his home, 120a St.Antoine street.Mrs.ITarrison, who had left her husband in his usual health, and somewhat under the influence of liquor on Saturday evening, came in in the morning, and found him unconscious.She sent for the ambulance, but as the doctor who came with it saw that he was dead, the body was removed to the morgue, where an inquest will be held to-morrow morning.AR ST.ANTOINE RECOUNT.The recount of the ballobs in St.Antoine division was concluded on Saturday.As stated in the last issue of the \u2018Witness,\u2019 the recount in poll No.61 gave Dr.Roddick six votes that had been rejected in.the first instance.In poll No.68, Dr.Roddick got two out- of the three ballots that had been rejected.There still remained a number of irregularities in different polls, including the whole of the ballots in poll No.57, which it was suggested to cancel in toto, and on all these Judge Doherty reserved his decision until this afternoon at 2.30.At the hour fixed, the judge came on the bench and gave his decision.\u2014\u2014 tli MISSISQUOI RECOUNT MUST GO oN Judge Wurtele rendered judgment this morning on the petition of Mr.Meige, member-elect for Missisquoi, for leave to appeal from the decision of Judge Lynch granting the recount asked by the member\u2019s opponent, Dr.Comeau.Mr.Meigs based his demand on the ground that the judge granted the recount at Knowlton, his private residence, while it should have been granted at Sweetsburg, the seat of the court.Judge Wurtele dismissed the petition with costs and held that there was no appeal from the decision given by Judge Lynch at Knowl- ton, as in this instance the learned magistrate did not act in a judicial capacity, but in a ministerial and executive va- pacity, and his order for a recount was not a document forming part of any records of the Superior Court.JUDGMENT ON A CLAIM.Judge Charland rendered judgment on Saturday in the case of Hanson Bros.in the Stadacona Water, Light & Power Company, and the Corporation of Ga- tineau Point.This was a claim of $600 debentures of the company secured by the Corporation of (Gatineau Point, and interest.The corporation alone vu: ed the claim, and the Court maintained the action.WILL NOT RESIGN.For some time past the statement has been general that Mr.Robert Bickerdike would resign his seat upon the Harbor Commission, in consequence of his election to parliament, and the identity of his possible successor has been freely canvassed.The fact is, however, that Mr.Bickerdike has no present intention of resigning Dis seat, and there is no desire for his resignation on the part of the government.There 1s no legal na- cessity, it would seem, for Mr.Bicker dike's resignation, members of the Montreal Harbor Commission not being in receipt of government pay, and Mr.Bicker- dike can retain his seat with the same propriety as does the Hon.R.R.Dobell his seat on the Quebec Harbor Commission.\u2014 SHIPPING.| MARINE NOTES.The SS.Etolia, of the Elder-Dempster line, will probabiy sail dunng the day for Bristol.She will be the last freight vessel to be despatched by this hne from this port this scason.The $3.Dalton Hall arrived at Halifax on Saturday afternoon, snort of coal and 22 days from London.The 8S.Empress of Japan, of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, arrived at Yokohama froni Vancouver, early on Saturday morning.DISASTER ON THE LAKES.Sault Ste.Marle, Mich., Nov.26.\u2014The most serious disuster this district has known the present season occurred at Lower Mud Lake at 7 o'clock on Sunday morning.The big freight 3S.Ellwood, bound down ore- laden, went aground in fog on Saturday, and the lighter W.W.Stewart, of the Great Lakes Company, with about thirty men was lightering ber.While Frank Hilder, of this .place, was on top of her forward boiler, |.screwing down a nut, the boiler exploded, killing him and three others, Louis Carpenter and Rankin Workman of this place, and * Wm.McKenzie, of Detroit, Mich.After the explosion, nothing could be found of Hil- der.His body was biown into the lake.Jack Warner and John Henderson, of this place, were probably fataliy injured.Thos.Melvin, Detour, Mich.; Wm.McGregor,John Cairns, and Captain Rawlins, of the \u2018Soo,\u2019 all seriously injured, and a number of others slightly injured.The lighter was not serioumy damaged.The tug General left at one o'clock this afternoon with doctors and nurses.- A SHIP-WRECKED CREW.A despatch from St.John says:\u2014A bad shipwreck occurred on Wednesday night between Black River and Mispec, a few miles from St.John.The three-masted schooner Pena Pickup, Capt.Wm.Mattison, sailed from Halifax on Sunday for Port Greville N.S., to load for New York.She encountered bad weather In the Bay of Fundy, and was knocked about considerably.At 6.30 o'clock p.m.on Wednesday the man on the lookout shouted \u2018Land ahead,\u2019 and just as the vessel was answering her belm she struck the rocks.There was a heavy sea running with high winds.The vessel commenced to break up.A boat was launched, and Edward Morris and Stephen Siffon, seamen, got into her.Just then a heavy sea rolled in and swamped the boat, throwing the two men in the water.Siffon shouted out: \u2018My God, I am hurt; save me.\u201d A rope was thrown and the man grabbed it.The men on board commenced to haul him aboard, and when near the rail he again sang out: \u2018Save me; I am hurt,\u2019 and then let go.He was never seen afterwards.It was thought Morris also was lost, but he was washed ashore.Capt.Mattison put a life-buoy around his waist, with a rope attached, and jumped over.He bad a terrible time before he reached the shore.By this time the seas were dashing over the wreck, and finally the poop was washed off, with the three remaining men on it.The waves carried it against the rocks.The men placed the schooner\u2019s ladder against the cliff and climbed up.It was a trying experience but they succeeded in reaching a place of safety.SAVED AFTER A HARD FIGHT.Toronto, Nov.25.\u2014In the spow-storm that raged last night and early this morning, the three-masted schooner Augusta,of thig port, owned and commanded by Captain re, while on her way to this city from Charlotte, with a cargo of 6756 tons of cdal for the Conger Coal Company, was driven out of her course and went ashore just before dawn, about a mile west of Port Credit.She took the ground on a shigly beach with flat stones, and the sea broke over her badly.A volunteer life-boat crew from Port Credit tried to rescue the six men on board, but failed, owing to the roughness of the surf and in answer to the request of the coptain of the Augusta sent ashore in a bottle, the Britannia lifeboat of this city went out.She is a big boat and made a number of attempts to reach the Augusta, but failed to do so, as the vessel was lying go close to shore that the lifeboat could not reach her leeside and the boat would have been smashed on the weather bow.The crew were finally landed by the Port Credit volunteer crew, after a gallant fight with the storm.GULF REPORT.L'Islet \u2014 Cloudy, east wind.River du Loup\u20140Cioudy, east wind.Father Point\u2014Cloudy, south wind; inward at

In answer to questions on the subject, witness said that on May 1, 1898, Chisholm and McGillis gave a guarantee to the bank for advances made, or to be made, to the Croil & McCullough Dairy Company, and subsequently this was replaced by another.The difference between the two was in the distribution of the amounts covered by the guaractee.In the first guarantee the smourts were unlimited; in the second, they were specified.In the second guarantee, the amount of credit was not named on bills of exchange on persons ln Great Britain; there was $160,000 on warehouse receipts, and $5,000 on customer's paper.When witness had the interview with Chisholm cn April 2.he could not say positively, without referring to the books of the bank, what amount was due to the bank under this guarantee, but he thought it was about $220,000, and Chisholm had obtained from the bank, on the A.D.Mc- Gillis paper, in the neighborhood of $60,000 or 865,000.- Outside of these warehouse receipts, Chisholm had also obtained, on March 15, $25,000 to make the first payment ou the Stanley mine, and on March 23, the sum of $20,000.The latter obtained from the bank, as I understand, on the representation made by him that certain irrégulairi- ties had come to his knowledge in connection with the Montreal Cold Storage and Freezing Company, and that these irregularities all amounted to $30,000, and would be covered by the $30,000.Later cn, witness stated that the vank had zdvanced on the notes and warehouse receipts, the sum of exactly $290,600.Of this, the sum of $30,000 was advanced without the approval of the general manager or the knowledge or approval of the bank's d'rectors.It was made in this way, and fer this purpose: Chisholm represented, as manager of the Montreal Cold Storage and Freezing Company, who were valued customers of the Merchants Bank of Halifax, that a certain amount of good in the company's warehouse had been taken out by a customer of another bank, and that these goods to be so abstracted; and the Montreal Cold Storage and Freezing Comu- pany wished to go to that bank aud explain to them \u2018that their goods were not in the warehouse, and that they wished to make the matter good.It was a perfectly leudable and proper thing to the mind of the witress for the Montreal Cold Storage and Freezing Company to de.The loan was rot made on Chizsholm's name alqne: They \u201chad at that time sufficient security; and the best evidence that the loan was satisfactory was that .t wis pald within a month.Witness could not allow the imputation to go forth that he would discount a note in the name of D.J.McGillis\u2014it was absurd.A.D.McGillis was in good crédit.When the $20,000 was advanced to Chisholm, the bank took 600,000 shares of Stanley mine stock, for what they might be worth.About this stage of the proceedings, the Court intimafed that the evidence would have to ba restricted to the direct matter before the Court.The representation made by Chisholm on which he was advanced the $20,000 was that the warehouse receipt which the other bank held, was perfeucly good in the opinion of the bank, but the goods which it represented, or a portion of them, had been removed by an employee, and the Cold Storage Company wished to make the fact known to the bank.The bank had not discovered the shortage, but Chisholm, the manager, had, and wished to go and tell them 1be goods were not there, and the company wished to give them the money irstead.He had represented at the time ttat $30,000 would cover the whole affair.Mr.Stewart then described the visit to the warchouse on the morning of April &, and how that no cheese were found there.Witness stated in answer to further ques- toins as tc how he realized the immense loss to the bank, etc., that he felt the bank stood to loose a 'arge sum of money, through the machinations of the Croil & McCullough Dairy Company, and through Chisholm and McGillis; he made up his mind to two things\u2014that the bank was going to get paid or have security some way, and ihe perpetrators of this enormous fraud would go to jail; he succeeded in the former part.Chisholm was arrested within two hours of obtaining the evidence to warrant them in so doing.They never lost sight of their duty to the bank and to society.They had the positive ex- cneration of Chisholm by McGillis, and the negative exoneration of Chisholm by Me- | Cullough; but they had thetr and never lost them.Witress had them on the night of April 2, and they had them ever since; but it was one thing to have a suspicion and another the evidence.They had to have a civil examination, and then they only found bim, partly by accident, in getting \u2018him to admit he had signed warehouse receipts by himself.Witness would hava it understood that the Mullins and all who were down on Chisholm, said he had nothing to do with it, and that he never: tssned = warehouse receipt.They would have taken the warehoase receipt with Chisholm's signature on it.The warehouse receipts they took had the signature of reputable, honorable men; and he repudiated the insinuation that the bank ever tried to shizld Chisholm, and did not arrest him until it did for reasons of its cwn.Nec one was arrested until Sept.28.A.D.McGillis was not arrested because the bank had nothing against him.Me- Cullough and D.J.McGillis were arrested\u2019 week.of a building oo Swiaty for the moral and ;

(Continued.) Not one word of the heavy debts that he had denied himself to pay, which had hung round him like a nether millstone, nor of the yeare of ceaseless anxiety passed and gone without a murmur, nor ot the yearnings and longings that had been quietly, but none the less surely, resisted, and when the question had come, Why take ye not your pastime \u201d His work had answered for him that he knew the right and did it.Of all these things his sisters were in ignorance, and perhaps would ever remain go, but whilst Joseph was speaking they realized, as never before, the true nobility of his character ; still, all the more reason that such a man should not throw himself away, perhaps, on a worthless woman.There was an oppressive silence for a moment or two, which Joseph broke by saying : \u2018Martha and Sara, I honor and love you, as few brothers have cause to love and honor sisters, for you have indeed made untold sacrifices for me, and I can never forget them, and it was all for love\u2019s sake, was it not ?And now I want you to crown your love for me, to put on the top stone es it were, by loving her whom I want to ask to be my wife.Oh! if you knew the wonderful change in my life, since I knew her! Why, even the birds sing sweeter, the sun shines brighter, and\u2014well! the whole world, even the office, seéms glorified.You bave met her, it is Dorothy Dur- en J It was out at last, and as he said the name, he breathed a sigh of relief.\u2018Am I to understand.then, that you have not yet spoken to this nurse ?\u2019 said Martha \u2018Alliance \u2018I have not asked her in so many words to be my wife, but\u2014er\u2014she knows I care for her.\u2019 \u2018Then at your age, you have been flirting with a young girl ; Joseph Bowden, I am ashamed of you!\u2019 \u2018Flirting !\u201d replied Joseph, roused, \u2018flirting, you might justly have called it had I not intended to ask her to be my wife, but I have the fullest intention of doing s0.\u2019 \u2018She seems nice,\u2019 Sara, Martha cast a withering look of scorn at her.\u2018Nice ! ghe may be, and no doubt is.I have nothing against the young person, but that does not make her a suitable wife for Joseph.\u2019 \u2018How and why is she not suitable ?asked J oseph.boa! jo young fog a man of your years, meekly suggested rae never en and her family you know nothing of it.Nurses nowadays get a bit of education and training, and pose as ladies, whilst oftener than not their father is a baker or a shoemaker in a neighboring town.Now our family at any rate is not mushroom sprung, we can go back for generations, and you will find nothing but lawyers and doctors, and even court physicians.\u2019 \u2018But it is not what a person\u2019s ancestors are, but what he or she is,\u201d replied Ja- seph.\u2018A bit of good blood either in man or beast is never to be despised.\u2019 \u2018I don\u2019t set much store by such things myself,\u2019 he began, when Martha interrupted him with : \u2018No, you have deteriorated lately, Joseph, and become much more radical ; I don\u2019t know under whose influence.\u2019 He took ne notice of the interruption, and continued : \u2018As I was saying, I care little for such things ; but Dorothy Durden\u2019s father was a Cambridge professor, and her grandfather was knighted for his srevices to science, the family have a reputation for scholarship, and she appears to have inherited their brains, but her sweet, simn- ple goodness is worth far more than all her cleverness ; and as to her qualifications for a housewife, why there are few women capable of managing as she can.\u2019 \u2018How do you know ?You have only her word for it !\u2019 | \u2018I have not even that, Martha, for I have never mentioned the subject to her; suspleiens | but Mrs.Gennison told me that the-Dur- dens- lost all their savings through the failing of a freudulent-company.It was this gir] who took a small house (this was some time after the death &f her father), did the bulk of the work with her own hands, and gave lessons in music | also, and her mother, who was in failing | health at the time, and died within a year.was never allowed by the brave girl to realize that they had lost all.I call such conduct herote.\u201d \u2018I don\u2019t dispute anything you say, Joseph, and the girl is no doubt good and nice, but it seems to me that by of the family.\u2019 \u2018A laughing stock ! mean, Martha ?What can you Sara, in a trembling voice, | means we three have lived together so long that people will make fun of middie- aged folks like us changing our ways.\u2019 \u2018Exactly so; it's plain enough,\u2019 said Martha.\u201cBut I am not middle-aged, nor you either, Sara, for the matter of that.\u2019 ¢ After such a speech, Sara, it is useless to say more.When a man is 20 Jost to all sense of propriety as to con- pider people verging on forty young, and is himself contemplating matrimony with a girl in the twenties, it is a spectacle for sorrow and not for mirth, end say- marrying you are making a laughing sbock | \u2018Oh !

!\u2019 she exclaimed, in a hopeless voice, \u2018I told you months ago there was a change.Oh, that we had been alive earlier to it !\u201d \u2018It would have made no difference if we had, Martha.When the sort of love comes to a person that has come to Joseph, they\u2019ll just go through fire and water for it, and we may as well make up our minds to welcome this girl as not, for Joseph will marry her, I am certain.\u2019 \u2018 Yes, there'll be a wedding unless Providence interferes, and we can never tell what may happen ; but, oh, the selfishness of men.I did think better | of Joseph.The etronger sex, indeed ! always the weaker where love is concerned.Why did he not stifle it, and live it down, as women do, nine times out of ten.\u2018I'm sure I don\u2019t know ; perhaps he couldn't,\u201d replied Sara wearily.\u2018Couldn't! Wouldn't ! you mean.\u2019 \u2018 Anyway, wouldn\u2019t or couldn't, it comes to the same thing in the end.\u2019 For some weeks after this the subject was never mentioned between sisters and brother, he thinking it wise to let matters simmer for a while, they on their part preserving a dignified silence, but in the interval he told Dorothy of his love.They were returning from Mrs.Gennison\u2019s, where Joseph had gone os tensibly for a game of chess, really with the hope of seeing Dorothy.She was looking, he thought, sweeter and more lovable than ever in a blue gown trimmed with military braid, and as the door closed on them, Mrs.Geninison = tpxned to her husband, nd said : thing of domestic management, A = t dress is the last straw, Henry, he'lF propose to-night.Meanwhile the couple in question had taken a longer and less frequented route to the hospital, end -when they came to a quiet turn in the road, Joseph looked down at the little figure walking so demurely by his side, with a beating heart: \u2018 Dorothy, I may call you so, may I not ?You have guessed my secret\u2014that I love you, darling, and want you to be my wife.Will you ¥ No answer, \u2018but the look of love in the shy eyes gave him one that get his whole frame trembling with delicious thrills.\u2018 Dorothy ! Oh, Dorothy, my gift from God, will you really come to me, and let me take cate of you and shield you as long as life shall last.Will you ¥ She gently put her firm, strong hand in hig, and said, \u2014 \u2018I will come, because\u2014because I love you?* There was a delicious rilence for a moment or two, then Joseph said.\u2014 \u2018 Darling, you know my sisters are opposed to my marrying, don\u2019t you ?\u2018Yes, I thought they were; but I am not at all surprised, it is only natural, Itching Piles The Most Disastrous of Human 111s, and for Which There is Only @ne Actual | and Guarañteed Cure \u201cDr.-Chase\u2019s t distance.The yo.; understand how such a fine 3 : steamer could go to pieces iy; : time.The \u2018St.Olaf\u2019 was an ir).built at Port Glasgow.on tie 1 1882, and previous to coming ran between Pictou, NS.ar dalen Islands.She was \u2018in mand of Captain Lemaitre, +: ed in command ever since.4 steamer \u2018Otter\u2019 was wrecked trip to Quebec, two vears à.ers, Messrs, A.Fraser & (0 Olaf\u2019 on the latter's route, ur .Leen running along the const \u20ac carrying passengers, mails nid tities of cargo.The steamer jo her last downward trip on Sun ing, Nov.18, and was on her was port to go into winter quariers v disaster occurred.PA \u2014 - NEW SOUTH AMERICAN BE} Chicago, Nov.24 \u2014A specis.\u2018Chronicle\u2019 from Denver, Col., = .| Henry W.Phillips, the first mu - Ë } the United States from the nes ~ Nia American republic of Acre, r- en here from Arieopolis.\u2018Arieopr 5 Mr.Phillips, \u2018is the capital ci: \u2019 Republic of Aries, the \u201cForest E.- we like to call it by variation.~ .us the Rubber Republic.1 du.nationality is not widely know new, and to secure formal ree env the part of the United States _- my mission.\u2019 The \u2018Chronicle,\u2019 in reference +n is above report from Denver.sav |» the past fifteen months a new 1e; known by the name of Aries has - - up in the forest country ving pw Brazil and partly in Bolivia I: been established by a rech pv, banker, and rubber dealer named + who has set himself up as presiden: n.a community of about twen:v (1, people, all of whom are in his eu.Demonstrations have been mile 1.the little country by both Brazi ar.! livia.TWO DUCK HUNTERS DROWN}: Port Dover, Ont., Nov.26.F.tugs returning from Long Point Jas: et.ing report that on Saturday whe HF Barrett, G.C.Warren and H.Hole.who were out duck shooting, were cris ing from Port Dover to Long Point.\u2018He were overtaken about half a mile =.Long Point by a heavy sea.caused strong gales.Holden and Warren, win were in one skiff.upset and drowye: while Barrett, who was alone in a- other skiff, battled heroically w the waves, and reached shore on I: Point safely.The tugmen state that «1.account of the heavy sea, and not in ing any vawl boat, it was impossible reach them or render assistance and a soon as the sea subsides a searching pary will go out with tugs to find the bod.re DUE TO LATENESS OF FROSTS Toronto, Nov.26.\u2014Speaking of the hii death rate from typhoid fever in the ju vince during the month of October, a: lustrated by such towns as Oshawa, where there are fifty cases at pren.Dr.Bryce, the provincial health sitio says there can be no doubt but that \u2018ie unusual length of time during which m: | weather continued this autumn, there = being any frosts practically up 40 the « of October, has played an 1imporiant pe in extending the period during w.typhoid fever from polluted wells to spread.\u2014\u2014\u2014 TORONTO TAX AMENDMENTS Toronto, Nov.26.\u2014The chief
