[" b Fine and Warmer.zs = BOARD OF TRADE.Corner-stone was Laid at Noon To-day With Ap= propriate Ceremonies.ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT, MR.A, McFEE\u2014DETAILED LIST OF-THOSE WHO WERE PRESENT.On the Bourd of Trade this fcrenoon expectation was running faster than preparation, though there was also some of the latter under way.There has been a good deal of quiet criticism of late \u201chat never comes to the surface as to the ways and means taken concerning the management of the new building; but the cpinion seems general that the manner in which it has been pushed forward is bighly creditable, and the building, so far as it has gone, gives evidence of being a credit to the Board and to the Dominion, There wus a good deal of joking on the Board whea sundry tubs of bottles in ice were carried past the members into the council chambers this morning, and sundry remarks as to the relative merits of champagne and Scotch whiskey came into the conversation.Voices were not wanting to take a more serious view of the presence of the champagne, and one voice, with the Scotch burr developed markedly, remarked: \u2018That is a decided mistake\u2014temptation should not be placed before our young men by the Board of Trade\u2019 In general, howeve., these preparations were taken with broad smiles.and with a wink.They were indoor preparations, after all.Outside preparations were almost nil, confined to the erection of a platform to accommodate the members of the Board of Trade.There was not a sign to denote the nationality of the members\u2014no flag of empire, and the bright sun adorned only the enterprising merchants of the city and warmed and cheered them in face of the somewhat chill breeze.The corner-stone was to be laid on the northeast wing, so to speak, resting on St.Sacrament street.; Just at noon the president, Mr.Alex.McFee, accompanied by the Rev.Dr.James: Barclay, of St.Paul's Church, the latter in his university cap and gown, | led the way from the Board of Trade rooms the platform, followed by Mayor Cochrane and the council and members of the Board.Among those were Mr.W.J.B.Patterson, of Texas, son of the veteran secretary of the Board cf Trade, long since deceased, but spoken: of even at this day as one who achieved por ithnelt fond Who de de the\u2019 Montreal Board of idm of commercial ta nT Lime + y friends, | He was warmly greeted by m and so was Mr.William Henderson, of Victoria, B.C., who was present.There was not \u2018wanting remarks among the members of comparison with the laying of the corner stone of the first-build- ing, destroyed \u2018by fire last year, when Lord Strathcona performed the function, and when Montreal's ladies fajr were gathered in a bright and indeed pretty group picture to listen to the speeches, His Honor Judge Curran\u2019s was one of the chief voices then.There was then flaunting from every place the flags of Great.Britain and -of the Dominion.There was pleasure and piquancy in the air\u2014and a wave of \u2018enthusiasm every .patriotic utterance.- Sombre indeed the picture would have been to-day but for the gift of the glorious sunshine.\u2018Where is the meteor flag?\u2018Oh, it is not the flag\u2014it is the preference see want,\u201d was the laughing answer.Setting D pleasaritry aside, however, the scene of \u2018which the above.gives an idea shows that the democratic idea could Gowen to the round Bnet, wn e ve dy seemed delighted, frond.that matters were as satisfactory as they found them.and the natural brightnes ef the day made up for everything.ol THE PRESIDENT\u2019 ADDRESS.It was a quarter Past twelve when Mr.Alexander McFee, president of the Board of Trade, attended by the: member of the |- council and invited guests; reached the olatform.Mr.McFee at once æddressed those present as follows: Members of the Board of Trade and Gentlemen ;\u2014 This\u2019 occasion - takes our thoughts to a similar ceremony which took place May 19, 1892, exactly ten years ago, when the corner-stone o our former \u201cbuilding, which waé destroyed - by fire on Jan.> 1901, was id .by Lord Strathcona.I- feel sure that voice the sentiments of many of .those present, when I say it would Have been a great pleasure to have had that nlus- tricus Canadian perform this céremony to-day, so that his name, which 1s among the foremost of \u2018the empire builders of the nineteenth century, might be associated with this building also, - The Montreal Board of Trade was incorporated sixty years.ago;

to pound: them into being submissive to the government machine.It is certain that 80-s0on as these and the Germans come into actual.contact they will be found trekking back to.the freest dominion on - earth.| peace À proclaimed © the Boers now in the field will prepare to inspan, Dr.Anthony says, for another pilgrimage.The better educated and the.business men may remain, but the great majority are irreconcilable and will prefer Germano that they have to abandon all hope -of recovering: their independence, they will meet with no opposition from \u2018the Brit- eh \u2018Governments\u2019 for.it would great oen-1 te \u2018simplifythé work of;

spoke from experience, The Grand\u2018 Trunk, the Intercolonial, the Prince Edward Island and the Canadian Pugific | railways were all leading factors in- bringing about the union and consolidation of the provinces, which has no\u201d doubt given the provinces room for expansion of enterprise euch as they | could not bave had -separafely.Tariff differences were at one time the great practical obstacle to union, but dscal.conditions are now so nearly equal in\u201c the colony and the Dominion that, if | confederation were to take plate, Newfoundland would have little to lose in the way of outside trade, while her\u2019 people would secure\u2019 the immediate good effect of free trade within Canada: Without extra cost of national government they would experience a decrease\u2019 in the cost of local government.To bring ebout results eo desirable from an imperial as well as a Canadian : and: colonial point of view, is worthy pf\u2019 the best efforts of our statesmen, and we hope Judge Morrison will succesd GE |in impressing on the Néwfoundlanders\" fhe wisdom of union, which is botnd- to come about in any case, snd which |! cannot be effected at any time -on better _ Sir Wilfrid\u2019 Laurier does not pô with his \u2018usual felicity- and \u2018convinein! tion, in taking an attitude with wegard to imperial defence which consigns.Can ada to the perpetuated condition of a de-] perdency.He rightly refuses to dis [on cuss the question whether Canada shall protect her own soil, as that is, as he holds, not debatable.To the minds of\u2019 west men\u2014athong them the whole Mont- | real Board of Trade but one or two-+j; this indisputable duty of defending \u201cour own soil includes contributing what we | can to the cost of the army and navy,\u2019 especially the latter, by which we \u2018are defended.To accept and even imperiously demand such défence, ap we have.) done, to trade upon the prestige of that} great power in our diplomacy, as we ne- cersarily do, and yet repudiate our debi; to the defending force, is a-position almost intolerably humiliating.Genetali: ties about the antagonism between mili- tariem and industry, and about the ua- doubted fact that there is an élement in- our population, as in that of Great.Brit ain, that would delight in the increase of | the militarist spirit among us, do not touch the hem of this question of Jur duty.ilitarism hae been proved by: the Boer war.to have been the bane of the British army.Britain has apparently only half learned the lesson which: has cost her so much.All class and- caste prejudice are ranged \u2018in favor.of the old order.Yet learn it she mitt and will.The mew spirit which de mehde that.every han shall be brought - up prepared, not for parade, but to \u2018do his patriotic part in the time of need, is the very antithesis of militarism.\u201cBat the fact remains that there is'an haporlät army, end still more an imperial DAVY, to which we and our commerce look fo protection.The cost of these i is break: ing the bucks of our\u2019 \u201cingular fellow subs\u2019 jects, while we scarcely touch the bur.den with our little finger, and yet we fn | have the effrontery to go fo these ishindi | erg to ask for preferential trade advon- tages, \u201cwhich, #0 far as any one shown, involve the perpetuation of Et tax gn bread, and the.handing over of the proceeds of that impokt largely to.ug instead of to its legitimate use in paying the war debt.+ Au BANK of MONTREAL, ne \u201cThe annual \u2018statement of the Bank of | Montreal shows net profit: of $1,801,152;

trouble i is British opposition to the trade J sponopolies established by the Belgians, and now the question has been raised whether the systematic violation of the\u2019 free trade.and opher.conditions imposed by the Berlin Conference is mot suffi- tient cause for reconsidering the original grant by.the powers, or in.default of | | compliance by the Belaiane with the conditions of that grant, for revoking \u2018the constitution.Al reports by agents of the powers concerned agree that Belgian administration in the Congo is a failure, on 1 the natives bave driven\u2019 them into à.slate of sullen revolt that has made the | ge try.unsafe for travellers and \u2018mer- \u201cGen \u2018ebante.The Congo State hes an aren of pine hundred thousand \u201cêquare.miles dt territory enormously \u2018rich.in.natural products, of which rubber and ivory Belgians being ousted Great Britain, Ger- \\ many and France would be competitors.for.its possession.vexatious international question would $8 would be.\u2018agteed in 8 determination mutual extonsions across the continent to.\u2018Interpose a barrier i in the way of Brit y} ain\u2019sUape-to Cairo erterprise, and there | y { Rast.of all \u2018me Conso territory + J'arisen between the British and Belgian! : the railway projected to connect | | it te hile.the exactions and cruelties inflicted | | enjoying oureclves, are the principal, and in the event of the | JA: dangerous and | thu be raised, in which Britain would in | a}{ probability be thé sufferer, na all oth.| which Britain would be on all hands less welcome than to that same infinitely narrow strip on which she has now a sort of leasehold claim, whose possession by her sets an absolute and precise bound to German expansion.Britain is the one power that is interested in mais- taining Belgian suzerainty.It would therefore be unfortunate for Belgium, as well as for Britain, if a crisis were to be precipitated by the spite of the Bel- gangs developing into hostilities against the British, such as are vaguely reported to have begun.\u2014 \u2014\u2014 LIFE ON THE DEAD SEA.(\u2018Morning Post,\u201d London.)

RE EES Re EAT SR ree > 5 SEE RARE Pe papes ei FINANCE COMMITTEE, A Mistake Which Costs the City a Large Sum.THE PLAYGROUNDS ASSOCIATION | DELEGATES WAIT ON com MITTEE.A meeting of the Finance Committee was held yesterday afternoon, the chair- wan, Ald.Laporte, presiding.A\u2019bill of 8112 was presented \u2018by the .General Hospital authorities for attend- © ance upon a case of typhus fever which Had been gent to the hospital by mistake.It was decided to p ay the bill, subject | to the concurrence of the legal department.\u2018The subjeet of the eale of the lot at the corner of Craig and (Gosford streets was considered.Ald.Giroux made a plea for this site as a suitable one for ihe m new Carnegie library.He thought it was central, and otherwise to be recommended.The other members of the committee appeared to share the same opinion, so for the present that lot is not for sale.A deputation of ladies from the Playgrounds Association appeared before the committee to ask for the use of a vacant lot bounded by-Grand Trunk, Charlevoix, Molline and Ropery streets.d Laporte, chairman of the commit- tes, expresged- \u2018himself as favorable to, the proposition, -and-promised- that tie subject would have.the early attention of the committee.A sub-committee, including Ald.Cleari- hue, chairman 8f the Water Committee, and Ald.Couture, of the- Parks Committee, would arrange for an early, visit to the spot suggested, and would also see if à more central location could be found that would answer the purpose.They would be glad to receive a general plan or scheme from the association affecting the whole city, and any other estions the ladies might make would taken into consideration.Some discussion arose over the $2,000 000 loan.It was the general opinion that the mone J, Market Was now .as favorable aë could be expected.It was, therefore, decided to call for tenders for Ju Pei: money can only be used to redeem the maturing bonds, all of which form part of the funded debt.Some time was spent discussing what was to be done with the leaky roof of the City Hall.Ald Payette said the proper thing to do was to put on a copper roof, which would cost $10,000.Temporary repairs could be made for about one- third of that sum.The question was left over till the next meeting, ; UPPER LEVEL PUMPING STATION.The Water Committee met yesterday, but as two of the members, Aldermen Chaussé and Ames, were prevented from attending by sickness, the orders of the day.\u2018were not; taken up.A letter from ill University was read \u20ac alat- ing the committee on the decision to instal an electric pump at the upper level pumping station on McTavish street, but.protesting against tenders being asked or soft steam coal for.-use in.the furnace of the steam boiler in the \u2018meantime, which would increase the smoke e nuisance, already complained of.Other protests against the use of soft coal wefe received from a number of residents in the néigh- borhood of the reservoir Mecois, Join Jucghalt, re Cassils, Lwing, Mrs ault and the McGill Y.M, C.A.* caf NEW RECTOR COMING.\u2018Word has been, received to the \u2018effec that the Rev.W.W.Crai the Bel Soposied rector Per st rans to arrive in Montreal Friday or or Saturday of this week: The ran is made that he will ;

Preaching some years ago in Toronto to St.Andrew's Society, he revealed some of the articles of his patriotic creed.He said: \u2018The nation was a God- ordained fact as much as the family and it would remain.National sentiments, bonde, and hisfory must not be forgotten.Nations are the divine forms through.which humanity developed itself to the highest plane.The rive-and- progress of every nation had been determined by religion: - From: the days of Columbus to those of:Thomas Chalmers, religion-bad been the great, factor in the development \u2018of Scotland.An irreligious Scotchman betrayed the traditions and history -of - his- country.Briefly: put.the lesson from that fact à to implant that religious character.in -Canadn.\u201d The future historian -of Canada wii discover that the men.who made this couniry greitend strong were not those alone whese mercantile genius- accumu- \"lated millions of persomal wealth, not merely, those whose genius tor ime de veloped: progress of our coum in wealth .and government, but that they also were among the builders of the country who\" with keener insight into the reality of things were in the day willing to spend their strength educating the sons.of the \"Empire in moral truth and virtue, and who had the grand audacity \u201cto \u201cdie leaving no material f@rtune behind\u2014content to trust the valuation of their work and worth to posterity.What a pity that the throne had not honored its august greatness by having attested the worth of a man with the conspicucue dignity.of kmigh .- THE SPANISH PRETENDER.PRESENCE IS NOT DESIRABLE ON THE FRENCH COAST.\u201cParis, May 14.\u2014The.\u2018Temps\u2019 says the nch Government has requested Don \u2018| Carlos, the Spanish Pretender, who is visiting at Banyuls-sur-Mer, to remove to the-interior:of France.=~ \u2018DAILY WITNESS\u2019 is printed and published\u2019 at the \u2018Witness\u2019 Building, at the corner of Craig and St.Peter streets.in the clty of Montreal, by Johu Redpath Dougall and Frederick Eugene Dougall, \u2018both of Montreal.-All business communications should be ad- Jobn Dougall & Son, \u2018Witness Office, Montreal, and ait le to the Editor, should: be addressed Eältor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019 Montreal.4 most impressive sermon in memory of\u2018 À "]
