A despatch from Middelburg, Cape ( piony, says an important concentration of the Boers is proceeding in the Zuur- bergs.Many 5 1 ing the Orange River into Cape Colony wid Commandant Fouche has also joined the burghers in that district.The {otal strength of the Boers in that district is estimated at between a thousand and fifteen hundred men.There is an unconfirmed rumor that General Chris- tan De Wett is again in command of the Boer invaders.The British military officials are cognizant of the movements of the Boers and are prepared for them.The railway bridge at Bethulie in the Orange River Colony, on the borders of Cape Colony, which was destroyed by the Boers fourteen months ago, was reopened on Monday.The bridge which crosses the Orange river at this point is 1,486 feet in length.THOSE EXPÉLLED GERMANS.4 despatch from Berlin says the report of the petition committee of the Reichstag asserts, with reference to the Germans expelled from the Vaal River Colony, that the number of claimants has been greatly reduced through Germany\u2019s refusal to support the claims of persons who fought on the Boer side, and who accepted free transport from the British home as equivalent for their claims.It also appears that the efforts of Germany to get Great Britain to advance $24,000 for the relief of the other claimants have failed.fresh invaders are cross- CROWLEY FOUND GUILTY.San Juan, P.R., May 21.\u2014The trial of Harold Crowley, of Lockport, N.Y., son of ex-Congressman Crowley, and a former employee of the Postal Department, on a charge of misappropriating postal funds was concluded at Ponce on Saturday night after lasting two days.He was sentenced to-day to four years hard labor.It is probable an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court.THE ARMY CANTEEN EFFORTS TO BE MADE TO RESTORE THE OLD ORDER OF THINGS ACROSS THE LINE.New York, May 22.\u2014The \u2018Times\u2019 says: General Brooke has sent out an order to all commandants of posts in the \u2018de- artment of the east to send him on Sept.1 a complete report of the 1esults which have ensued upon the abolition of the army canteen.Officers say that these reports will show beyond cavil that intemperance has largely increased under the new régime, and it is predicted that the next Congress will give serious consideration to the real situation as it has developed.Seven privates, absent without leave from Fort Ethan Allan, Vermont, htve just been locked up in the military prison at Governor's Island, which is the headquarters of the department.They disappeared from their post immediately aîter pay day of this month, and their troubles are attributed by officers to the abolition of the canteens.A reporter interviewed a number of the officers at Governor's Island, and every one of them was saying: \u2018I told you so,\u201d when the cases of Fort Sheridan, Fort Snelling and Fort Ethan Allen were called to mind.The.officers there regard it but as a matter of a short time when the public sentiment of the nation will demand the re-establishment of the canteens.THE AYRES MURDER.MRS.BONINE REFUSES TO SWEAR TO HER CONFESSION.\u2018Washington, D.C., May 21.\u2014The coroner\u2019s jury that has been investigating the\u2019 murder of James S.Ayers, the census office clerk, returned a verdict this afternoon to the effect that Ayers was killed during a conflict between himself and Mrs.Lola Ida Henri Bonine.The wo- MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22 MR, STEEN'S CASE \u2014 Discussed by Corporation of Diocesan Theological College A FULL REPORT OF WHAT OCCURRED BEFORE THE RESIGNATION WAS ACCEPTED.The corporation of the Diocesan Theological College met last evening, His Guwace the Archbishop presiding.The financial statement for the year snowed a revenue of $9,720.13, and an expenditure of $11,313.01, leaving a deficit of $1,595.85, which would have been greater but for a profit on the sale of Montreal Gas stock.\u2018The report of the governors stated that the Rev.Prof.Steen resigned in January, and his place had not yet been filled.Dwenty-nine students attended last \u2018session, \u2018thivteen taking lectures in thé-{\"tl ology.Their standing in examinations\u2019 was very satisfactory.A course of lectures in music was delivered by Mr.P.J.Dksley, Mus.Bac, of St.Georges Church.The pastoral work at Verdun had been well kept up; and the other departments of the college's work were satisfactory, but there must be outside help if the deficit was to be wiped out.Contributions might be made either to general expenses, or to the endowment fund of $50,000 now being.raised.The report was ad .\u2018The per iod for which Messrs.G.F.C.Smith and 8.Carsley, and the Rev.E.I.Rexford \u2018had been elected as governors having expired, they were unanl- LULVUDIY FE-EICULEU.REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL.The Rev.Principal Hackett then read the following report:\u2014 That at a meeting of the board of governors held Jan, 17, @ question arose concerning the impressions which the students were carrylng away from Professor Steen\u2019s lectures, and a committee of the board of \u2018governors was appointed to enquire into the mater.: \u201cThat -a note book of the lectures of Prot.Steen upon apologetics, belonging to a student, was submitted to the committee for examination.That the committee was Informed by Principal Hackett that Professor Steen accepted the notebook as a dictated copy of his own notes, and that he (the principal), had compared many pages of the book with Professor Steen\u2019s.notes of lectures, and found them identical.That the committee read these notes together, and caretully considered them.That the committee had an interview of \u2018two hours with Professor Steen, at the beginning of which \u2018Professor Steen formally accepted the student's notebook as falth- fully representing his own notes of lectures, which he had dictated to his students.1901.ly before the minds of the members of the corporation was the spirit which actuated both the sub-committee and the board of governors im reference to the effect of their aotion upon Mr.Steen\u2019s professional position.While the committee felt the result of Mr.Steen\u2019s work with the students was very unsat- isfactorv they were very anxious not to mflict unnecessary injury upon him by the character of ineir report.-.nerefore, the terms of their report were stated in the mildest possible form consistent with bringing out the fact that they did not consider the result of his work with the students satisfactory.When the report of the committee and the resignation of Prof.Steen came up for consideration before the board of governors, the same desire to take the necessary steps in the interests of the college with the least possible injury to Professor Steen was manifest on every hand, and accordingly -the resolution accepting bis resgna- ion was.couched sg as to.yetlect as it- tle-as possible upon his status and in the same spirit he was invited to continue his services until the close of the session.In Mr.Rexford\u2019s judgment these two points deserved especial consideration in the present discussion.The meeting closed with votes of congratulation and thanks to tbe Archbishop and others, \u2019 At a meeting of the board of governors held in the afternoon, Rural Dean Saunders was appointed to succeed the Right Rev.Bishop Mills on the Educational Council.GENERAL HOSPITAL Annual Report Shows Deficit of Over Eight Thousand Dollars.A CHARGE WILL BE MADE FOR MEDICINE IN THE OUTDOOR DEPARTMENT.The annual meeting of the governors of the Montreal General Hospital was held yesterday afternoon, the president, Mr.James Crathern, in the chair.The report of the committee of management stated that it had been decided that on and after June \u20181 outdoor patients would be charged for medicine, ten cents for first prescription, including the bottle, and five cents for each refilling.They were also of the opinion that a scale of charges should be established for dressings.In the eveit of any patient claiming inability to pay, charge will be made, but a\u2018record will be kept of such cases; and referred to the general secretary of the.Charity Or- fifty or a hundred.no.should be more collectors.Many of the old ones were dead, and none had come forward to take their places.The city was not canvassed at all properly.Dr.Lapthorn Smith and Mr.E.H.Copland spoke of the patients who could afford perfectly well to be treated at home, but who came to the hospital and received free treatment.No patient should be received into the public wards without a certificate from his family aoc- tor, stating that he was not able to pay.THE RIGHT KIND.In contrast to this, the president read a letter from a gentleman, enclosing $50 towards the treatment of a late friend, who had been in a public ward of the hospital, and regretting that the amount was not greater.The letter was received with applause.Mr.David Watson and Mr.David Morrice agreed with Mr.Holden, that there ought to be more collectors.There were nine last year, and there should be Mr.8.H.Ewing also thought that there would be plenty of money, if the people were properly canvassed.: The secretary\u2019s report, after dealing with the financial matters as contained in the report of the committee of management, stated that of the 3,178 indoor patients during the year, 2,823 were treated to a conclusion; 2,573 were discharged, and 250, or 8.85 percent, died.auxclud- ing 105 who died within three days of admission, the death rate was 5.13 percent.The average number of patients in the wards was 178, and their average stay 223 days.The average cost per day per patient was $1.37.Of the 2,823 treated to a conclusion, 1,738 were males and 1,085 females;

make over eight dozen pairs a week, or $2 in wages.In this case sixty cents was taken off.The magistrate said he could not convict for theft, and he was sorry, for he would have punished Fine with pleasure, had the law allowed.\u2014_\u2014\u2014,\u2014 BURIED THE BABY ALIVE.New York, May 21.\u2014 Givonni Buta- colli, charged with having buried alive a baby of which he is the reputed father, at Hastings, several weeks ago, was tried and found guilty, at White Plains, to- ten months in state.prison.tures on apologetics, as being themselves misleading and calculäted to leave errom- ous impressions on the minds of the stu- ents, ; .: That, after full discussion and enquiry, Professor Steen \u2018declared that -he was not only surprised, but annoyed.that the committee should take exception to anything in the notes read.- That while Proféssor : Steen\u2019s views ds verbally and fully stated to the committee at the conference were deemed satisfactory, the committee found it difficult to reconcile this position on his part with bis active utterances to the students as recorded in the notebook accepted by Professor Steen as a.falthful record of his dictated notes of lectures.Under the circumstances the committee feel compelled to report to the Board of Governors that while Professor Steen\u2019s verbal statements of his views appeared satisfactory, they were dissatisfied \u2018with his methods of Instruction, judging from his teaching as reflected in the notes of one of his students, which notes had been accepted by Professor Steen as accurate.During the progress of their proceedings, Professor Steen submitted his resignation { 31 to the board of governors, and upon the presentation of the above report the board of Governors thought it well \u2018to accept Pro- ta Stoen\u2019s migration, .\u2018he Rev.F.N.Graham moved, the Rev.F.A.Pratt, seconded, the follow ing resolution, which was carried unanimously:\u2014 - \u2018Resolved, that the corporation heartil thanks the board of governors for their id port in the matter of the Rev.Professor Steen, and desire to express and placé on record their entire confidence tn the board of governors, and in that sub-committee of the hoard of governors, who have dealt spectally with this -matter; and, further, |- that the corporation request that this very clear and moderate report be sent to the press for publication.\u2018 REV.E.I.REXFORD.The Rev.E.I.Rexford stated that as such importance had been: given in the present: discussion to the question of the acceptance by Professor Steen of the \u2018authenticity of the students\u2019 lecture notes, he submitted that when the subcommittee was formed a student\u2019s notebook of Professor Steen\u2019s lectures in apologetic was submitted to them by Principal Hackett.\"The principal also stated that he had in his possession Profesosr Steen\u2019s notes of his lectures and the notebook of one of the best of his students, and that he had himself compared the notebook with the professor\u2019s notes \u2018of his lectures and found them identical.When Professor Steen appeared before the committee he was asked by them at the outset if he accepted the note-book in question-as accurately representing what he had given to the students.He stated to the committee that his custom was to dictate for a time his notes of lectures to the students and then turning from his rotes to hold a conversational conference with the students upon points con- pected with the notes, returning to the esk and dictating again to the students.Professor Steen stated to the committee that the student\u2019s note-book submitted accurately represented what he had dictated in class to his students.This matter which the committee felt to be one of the pivotal noints of the discussion, was treated with so much care and detail by the committee at the opening of the conferénce as to remove all possible ambiguity in reference to it.À second point which should be clear- about $25,000.makes no charge.: .Di.John McCrae has been appointed resident assistant tHhologist, and the engagement of Dr.Von Eberts, medical superintendent, has been extended to May 1 next, his staff comsisting of ten resident doctors, and, in additioh, for the care of the patients, Miss Livingstone, as lady superintendent, with seventy nurses.A complete new set of sterilizing apparatus will shortly be installed, under the supervision, of Mr.James R.Wilson, who, with Mr.C: S.Campbell, K.C, contributed largely towards the cost.During the year 49 life governors qualified, \u2018and 11 died, making 613 at present.The concerts for the hospital, held in \u2018Windsor Hall, were a great success, and contributed $1,350 towards current ex- Densés._ The endowment fund has risen in the last quarter from $16,000 to $25,000 by the following subscriptions: Mr.Boulter, 1,000;

and\u2019 they had been distinct peoples.from that day to this.The ten trfbes were -car- ried away into captivity by the kings of Assyria 750 years before the birth of Christ.For 80 years they dwelt in Media.The Jews were descended from the children of Judah, and others, who remained in Palestine.Eighty years after Israel went into captivity.a revolution broke out, and they escaped from Medla, crossed the Euphrates, and settled 4n Scythin, on the shores of the Black Sea.From there, the speaker stated, they went acries Europe to Scandinavia, and settled for e time; later, Jute, Angles, Saxons, Danes, Normans and Celts.met and mingled in the British Isles.It was casy to see that originally all these peoples, OT tribes, were one, and their ciigin was thus easily traced.The.British\u2019 people were at the head of the affairs of the world, mot merely from favoritism, but for the benefit and blessing of all mankind.The apeaker quoted the following references from Holy Writ es prophecies corcerning Anglo-Israel: \u2014 Genesis xii.; Gen.xxzv., 11; 2 Kirgs xvil, 6; Deut.xxvifi., 1; Numbers xxiv:, 7; Levit.xxvl., 8; Micah v., 8; Gen.xvii., \u20ac and 16; Deut v.,.6; Gen.xv., 5; Ex.xxxi., 13; Isa., xxviii.end.others.- Many authorities were quoted to show that the British came from Palestine; that they had the characteristics and marks of Israel, and that they were doing the work allotted to Israel.The speaker claimed thet the British also had a number of Hebrew emblems, apd\u2019 that the Irish and \u2018Welsh languages were founded on the Hebrew, and ewen that early Welsh writers wrcte Hebrew.The federation of the British Empire was claimed to be a fulfilment of prophecy, es also the fact that England was mistress of the seas and unconquerable.Theories might be refused, but facts must be accepted.Israel should De a Sabbath-keeping people.The British were that more than any- other nation.;

steam and electricity haye accomplished an enormous.contraction; and the shriek of the locomotive invades the immemorial silence of distant lands, which yield up their secrets to the thoughtless excursion party, which has forgotten the day before yesterday.Mr.George Hague, the eminent bank manager, and financial\u201d authority, has just accomplished an itinerary, the bare record of which suggests a liberal education.England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Egypt, Turkey, Palestine * Jerusalem, the valley of the Jordan, the.pyramids, the holy places; London, the of the empire; Rome, the ancient seat of world-wide sway and influence; Constantinople, wonderful for its commingled s; lendor and squalor; a score of towns and cities, marked, many of th in history with a red stone\u2014such a journey.and such an experience offers a wealth of knowledge which, as Mr.Hague said, laughingly, : be utterly impossible to compress into a talk, which must necessarily skim the Buface of things.king brown and strong, Me, Hague is back from a trip which he describe as the most delightful experience of his life.Travel is informative, but perhaps rather disenchanting.The description exerts a glamor upon the spirit; the actual vision sometimes finds prose instead of poetry.For exdmple, the River Jordan is a narrow, dirty river, the water of which Mr.Hague says, he would not care to drink.Nor would he even care to be baptized in it, if he believed in immersion.\"l'here is nothing.at all holy-looking about it;.it is singularly unattractive.That, of course, in no way detracts from the sacred story.associated with this MODERN JERUSALEM.As for Jerusalem, the ancient\u2019 walls are still there, the foundations of which were.built by Solomon; but there is a railway station too; there are dirty streets, narrow and dark and wretched; there.are all the races of the earth; there are churches the members of which are hardly kept from one another\u2019s throats by Turkish soldiers; and as for Jericho, or, rather, the way te Jericho from Jerusalem, Mr.ague does not wonder that the poor man fell among thieves\u2014the route 18 50 desolate, and Bedouin Arabs are-much'in evidence even yet.As one follows the | itinerary one may get an instructive | glimpse here and there.In the first place, there is London, and the London policeman.Mr.Hague had it in ming to study the street conditions as he met them in his travels, with an eye to \u2018Montreal, which is so sadly behind in the matter of municipal government.That London policeman! What à power ! What dignity ! Simply the outstretched hand and arm.No shouting.\u201d Perfect silence.That band bri order out of chaos.That end stops the traffic upon the most congested streets, and makes a clear path out of the bewildering tangle of carts and cabs.Mr.Hague \u2018was in a hurry once, and told his cabman to get on faster.The cabman said, with an air that suffered no \u2018discussion: \u2018I can\u2019t get past that man,\u201d pointing to.the stolid\u2019 policeman.- The streets in London, in.Paris, all over the Continent\u2014in Germany, in Holland, in Italy\u2014are all better kept than the streets in ntreal.Dirt is not allowed to aceumulate.The streets are well paved.When the trolley car is used\u2014and it is not used as it is used on this continent\u2014the wires are either strung between the ho are ornamental: Our posts are simply brutal.-Moreover, the spaces between the car tracks are on a \u2018perfect level with the rest of the streets.That is not so in Montreal.This paved space is either higher or lower then the \u2018street, with the result that there is danger to And the architecture of the streets of the Continent is much superior to ours.It is harmonious; it seeks to follow a |'d \u201claw\u2014£he law of-taste.We boast a good desl'of:our city, and no:doubt with:some reason, if you consider our beginnings; but in some respects we are still fifty \u2018years\u2019 behind the times, in the opinion of Mr.Hague.One of the ways to amend is to visit other centres and see what they are doing.We have more electric lights on our streets, but in England, on the Continent, they have Auer lights, which make beautiful display at night at the parks and.public places.VISITED THE HOUSE.; While in London Mr: Hagug attended several debates in the House of Commons.He thinks that our own Commons at Ottawa would compare favorably in debating power with what he heard.\u2018The style is largely conversation- .Fowler is a fine speaker.He heard the debate on the deceased wife\u2019s sister bill.This passed the second ing, but it did not, and probably \u201cwill not, become law for some time to come, This measure is not to be counfounded with that which Tord Strathcona introduced into the House of Lords.The latter intended to give such status to the children of the person who had married his deceased wife\u2019s sister that they could inherit property\u2014not to make the marriage itself legal.The bill in\u2019 the commons.had this design, but after passing the second reading, it was held over, as was also\u2019 Lord neither is law.___.a Note that the British taxpayer is willing to be taxed for the war, which he insists shall on to the bitter end.That tax on Goat will have little or no d | would not commit himself to-day, it would.houses or the.posts, trathcone\u2019s bill, \u2018and.restrictive effect; those who have been ordering the coal in the past will continue to order it.- The ritualistic controversy in England interested Mr.Hague, who: took mental notes of the position of both parties.He to any formal expression of opinion, but he noted and regret the tendency to ornateness \u2018in religious ordinances\u2014 a tendency which was not wholly confined to the Church of England, for he noticed in the Mansfield Congregational, College, at Oxford, that in \u2018architecture, in the statutes of distinguished Congregationalists, in the whole atmosphere of tha: place, that it copied those other institutions which had always represented the dignified and the ornate.\u2018This tendency might b called a fad of the times.But on the other hand, while there is: this disposition.to ceremony and color, I must do vhose who are affected by such things the justice to say that they are noble, hard-working men, who go among the slums and do an immense amount of gdod.It is sometimes said that the evangelicals are disappearing in the Churcii of England, but I attended the.May meeting of the Church onary: Society, and I can vouch for the statement that.the evangelicals are very much alive, and fully abreast in every good works: 2 UT \" Cans KING EDWARD'S POPULARITY.- The.King of England.is very popular.He \u2018is sometimes twitted with early fol~ lies, but if he ever had such he has put them away, and is manifestly treading in the footsteps of his mother, Mr.Hague thinks the reign of the King will prove a blessing to the empire, ~ regard to the latter, Mr.Hague mentioned that while travelling he, was\u2018 reading à book of travels by Anthony Trollope, written some forty years ago, in which it.was rophesied that Australia would before ong go on her own way, and cease to Y, belong \u2018to the empire.But shoïtly af- | terwards he found à cablegram \u2018in the: pres describing the inauguration of the

emptied into-the harbor, but said that the local autherities kept the slips dredged out.- C Mr.Tarte said that a million and a quarter \u2018dollars of \u2018public.money had already been paid out in improvéments to r Toronto harbor, and he thought that the proposition he made was not an.unreasonable one.: .; Mr, Clarke-said-the city council would doubtless agree readily \u2018enough.to keep \u201cthe sewers from filling up the slips if Mr.mmonwealth, under the direction and: Tarte would move energetically in the di- guidance of the Mother Country.One sees many things on the Continent, to be sure, which have been already described.A notable thing was observed by Mr.Hague\u2014the Rhenish provinces of Germany, which scarcely, twenty-five years ago, boasted a single factory, seems now.to be.covered.with them.Manufacturing, commercialism, has made wonderful strides in\u2019 Germany.\u2018Made im Germany\u2019 may not.perhay mean all that is sometimes taken from it, but Germany .bas

have to be imported.However Mr.Fielding felt that the country would \u2018support any reasonable step to encourage the starting of such an enterprise in our midst, ; Mr.R.L: Borden hôped.to:see.in his lifetime a great steel ship-building industry in Nova Scotia: That province had \u2018once been noted for its wooden ships, and the men who could build the one class of boats could do the other.His own: impression was that it would.be too great an undertaking to expect to inaugurate the industry by the building of the vessels.for \u2018our fast Atlantic service.It seemed to him better results could be had by starting in a more modest way and working up.- -lishing.a ship-building plant was engaging attention in his own province, and there: were men there thinking of puttin.their money: into the venture.e ha hopes \u2018that.an\u2019 industry might be built up at St:\"John.\u201cThe parties with whom tion are -ownérs\u2019of ten or twelve ships ady, and were well acquainted with gaging.But, like Mr.Borden, it seemed to his judgment rather an ambitious idea to \u201cthink of building the fast Atlantic liners.in Canada: - Mr.Maclean contended that the empire was wing, and \u2018that a ship-yard in Canada was as valuable to Britain as one in England.\u2019 : When this was realized \u2018over there capital would be forthcoming to set the industry going in the Domijn- jon.If the yards came the skilled mechanics and the marine engines would speedily follow.Lo ; Mr.Johnstone, of Cape: Breton, was Teartily in sympathy with the proposal for à.fast \u2018Atlantic line, and said it should be run in connection with the in tercolonial Railway.To him it.seemed no unreasonable aspiration that in Canada there was room for.ship-buildi plants.which he knew, and a gentleman was now in the Old Country calling the attention of investors to a sitein that place for a- large ship-yard.WINTER NAVIGATION.- On the vote of $12,000 for a.winter steamship serviée from Quebec down to Murray.Bay and River Ouelle,\u201d it \u2018was explained that the.experiment will be made next winter.If it is shown that navigation is practicable along this stretch it would go far toward

BOND-BLAINE TREATY.On the vote of $20,000 for the winter service between St.John and Liverpool, Mr.Haggart asked the Prime Minister what truth there was in the newspaper report cabled from London that the Premier of Newfoundland, on the occasion of a recent visit to Ottawa, had made an arrangement with the Canadian: authorities, by which it was permitted him to renew the Bond-Blaine treaty with the United States, Canada agreeing not to interfere.The Prime Minister replied that there Was not a word of truth in the statement that the government here had withdrawn the Canadian objections to the treaty negotiated in 1890 between Newfoundland and the United States, commonly known as the Bond-Blaine treaty.Since then the joint high commission between Britain and the United States had been sitting, and among the questions before it was that of the fisheries.On that commission Newfoundland had been given representation.The commission had accomvlished nothing up to the time of its adjournment over a year ago, but the labors of the body were not yet concluded.\u2018I: have strong hope,\u2019 said the Premier, \u2018indeed, a very strong hope, that our negotiations may be resumed at an: early date, possibly -during the present year.\u201cIt seemed fair to the government that before any special a¢tion was taken by Newfoundland that this commission should be brought to an end.Should the negotiations: fail or should they not be resumed within a reasonable time, Newfoundland would then be in a position to reopen the matter for further consideration.But as matters now stood, the Canadian government considered that the Newfoundland treaty should be held in abeyance.Mr.Maclean\u2014Is not this a proper time to resume thé negotiations with Newfoundland with a view to the island coming into confederation?Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2014I have not heard of any disposition-in Newfoundland to that effect.TAKING OF THE CENSITS.An additional vote of £109,000 was passed for the census.The Finance Minister explained that the retarns were coming in much faster than had bren expected, and that it would be possible, by putting on a larger staff of men, to rush it through.The population returns would not be ready before July or Au- \u2018gust.: \u2018The House then passed into concurrence on the estimates.Mr.E.F.Clarke, asked if the government lad come to any conclusion in regard vo aid for Cap- tajn Bernier\u2019s proposed polar expedition.which he considered a wo thy enterprise.The Prime Minister raid the government had not deemed it wise to ask parlinment for a vote for this purpose at the present session.He understood that the expedition was to cost $120,000.aptain Bernier had asked the government to contribute one-half that figure.But.the government had not seen its way clear to make the t, not that it \u201cwould not be dispo to contribute liberally toward such a good \u2018object, but because it was felt that no good purpose could be served \u201cunless thers was evidence that the balance of the hecde- sary amount would be contributed.Per: sonally he would be disposed to grant aid if there was evidence that resources would come from the outside.- Mr.Monk remarked that Captain Ber- nier had already promises of subscriptions up to $20,000.If the government came to his assistance he could easily get the rest.CL Mr.Henderson (Halton) claimed that no vote the government could make would have been more popular than this in the country.Mr.Haggart moved that the vote for the Gilbert Dredging Company, discussed at Monday's sitting, be struck out.This was lost on division, and the item assed.BEET ROOT SUGAR MACHINERY.Mr.Fielding invited formal concurrence in his resolution, given notice of in the budget speech, to put beet root sugar machinery and structural iron for the factories on the free list.This \u2018brought on a debate on the beet root sugar industries, and the profit that could be made out of it if a small government bonus were given on the sugar output.r.Wallace said that the government\u2019s supposed encouragement to the industry was worth nothing, that no factories had yet been efected nor would be under the present conditions.In reply to this latter remark, Mr.Wright (Renfrew) stated that an 1geat of the Canada Atlantic Railway d the other day made an offer to the Board of Trade of Arnprior for the establishment of a beet root.sugar plant there.Mention was also made of three factories Which \u2018may be erected in Western On- ario.: The resclution paesed, and the House \u2018again.went into committee of supply.PET \"PLAINS OF ABRAHAM.© Righty thousand dollars was asked for the purchase by the government of the Plains of Abraham property at Quebec m the Ursulines.e Prime Minister stated that the lease under which \u2018the government held this land would terminate on May 1 next.It had been represented to the government that it would be a shame to \u2018see this historic ground carved up into building lots, and after careful consideration the ministry had decidéd \u2018to purchase.the property and had an understanding that thé property could.be had for $80,000 up till une next.Rumors had been afloat that the Marchmont property alongside the Plains was to be exchanged with the nuns, but the government of Canada had nothing to do with any transaction of this kmd.Whatever was done in this way could not concern the government.The government would buy no property other than tbe Plains, and would deal with nobody but the nuns.When the nuns received their money it was no concern of this government's.what they did with the proceeds.The only question to be considered was whether the price was a fair one.At first blush he \u2018himself had thought the price a little.steep.wo Wallace\u2014How much is there in it?The Prime Minister\u2014Seventy-one English acres.Sir Wilfrid went on to cite evidence of prominent Quebeckers that the price was not a large one, that it was, indeed, very cheap.ominent business men and practical surveyors had ed in this view, and he trusted that the conclusion at which the government had arrived would meet with popular approval.Monk, who was leading the Opposition at this moment, said the ministry had \u2018acted wisely in making this pur- \u201cchage.Canada had been perhaps a little too \u2018neglectful of her historic spots.He did not think the price excessive either, - but he would like to know what truth there was in the rumor that the government would not acquire the Plains unless the nuns entered into a compact to buy the Marchmont property alongside from its present owners.There had been perpetrated on the Sisters.He would like to know what part the government had played in this.The Prime Minister denied that either directly or indirectly the government had had any part in such a transaction.The government had never had anything to do.with anybody but the nuns.But even if any such attempt had been tried \u2018on the nuns by private parties it was no concern of the government\u2019s.All that - parliament had to decide was whether the price was just gnd reasonable.Dr.Sproule and Mr.Brock (Toronto) objected to the purchase of the property.Mr.Lemieux raised the point as to whether the Plains was really the scene of the historic struggle at all.The Premier said that this point was not of any great consequeneé.The maim battle between the forces of Wolfe and Montcalm might have taken place a little east of the Plains, but the property was in any event the scene of another struggle of note.Mr.Bourassa objected to the purchase of this property as a means of commem- \u2018 orating the last victory over Frendh arms in Canada.The Prime Minister denied that any such idea prompted the purchase.No Canadian could look upon the monument in Quebec to Wolfe and Montcalm without pride in the spirit which it breathed.Why should not Mr.Bourassa look with equal pride upon this consecrated ground which the nation was to acquire.A noble idea prompted its setting apart.Mr.Monk asked whether Quebec would maintain the park property.- Bir Wilfrid replied that he thought it would.The nuns stipulated that it must be kept only as a park.The item passed at a quarter to one and the House immediately rose.IN THE SENATE.The Senate yesterday afternoon gave third reading to the -following private \u2018bills: The St.Mary river bridge Company\u2019s bill; the Grand Falls Water Power & Boom Company\u2019s bill; the Ontario, Hudson\u2019s Bay & Western Railway Company\u2019s bill; the Kettle River Valley Railway bill;.the Manitoulin & North Shore Railway bill; the St.Lawrence Power Company's bill; the Algoma Central & Hudson\u2019s Bay Railway Company\u2019s bill; the Interprovincial & James's Bay Railway Company\u2019s bill, and the Nove Sco- tia Eastern Railway hill, , There was another discussion of the act passed at the late session of the Quebec legislature which shuts off the possibility of proceeding with any election petitions connec with the late Brora ections.The Secretary of State announce it: government at \u201cOttawa disallow ie which interfere with settled policy and measures which are ultra vires.\u2018But there was no doubt.this particular statute was intra vires.It might be bad, but the government here would not be called on to interfere on that account.The bill respecting the Subsidiary High Count of the Amcient Order of Foresters passed its third reading.Government measures respecting ocean steamship subsidies, to amend the Gas Inspection act, to amend the Electric Light Inspection act, to amend the Alien Labor act, and to amend the Pacific Cable act passed their final reading.At the evening sitting of the Senate the government measure providing for the establishment in Ottawa of a branch of the Royal Mint passed its third reading.There was a pretty lively discussion on the South Shore Railway bill, which passed its second reading and was sent to the Railway Committee.U.S.PRESBYTERIANS PROCEEDINGS OF THE ASSEMBLY \u201cAT PHILADELPHIA.Philadelphia, Pa, May 21.\u2014The commissioners to the Presbyterian General Assembly to-day gave vent to à spontaneous burst of patriotic enthusiasm which found voice in -the hearty rendition of a national anthem.It was a fitting con- | clusion to a masterly address delivered by the Rev.Dr.Charles O.Thompson, secretary of the Home Missions board.The report of the committee on home missions: had been read, and Dr.Thompson arose to make the usual appeal for aid, which developed into an oration, and aroused the Assembly to the highest piteh of enthusiasm.A statement in the committee\u2019s report that over three thousand churches failed to give directly to the home mission board aroused the ire of the commissioners representing self-supporting synods and presbyteries, and, after a brief but lively debate, the objectionable para- ph was eliminated.The Rev.Dr.ugh K.Walker, chairman of the committee, in discussing the report, declared that unless the church.supported its would fail.The report urged Congress to act on the anti-polygamy amendment to the constitution before the Mormons secured the balance of political power in any additional states.\u201d Both morning | and afternoon sessions were devoted to routine business.Des Moines, Iowa, May
