\u2018The Finance\u2019 Committee has taken the matter up, and after a conférenca with the Union Abattoir Company and the Montreal Stock Yards Company it has been arranged that the city is to purchase from the Abattoirs Company - the west end abattoir privilege for the .sum of $30,000, and is to transfer it : to the Stock Yards Company.A draft agreement was drawn up which Ald.Laporte will place before the Fimance Committee this afternoon.The resolution accompanying it says that.the, terms were agréed -on at à meeting, at which were\u2018 present Messrs.- Ww a Strachan, in the chair;

of fered a resolution on the subject w will be submitted to the authorities who are concerped in the upholding of the Jaw, which was intended to mitigate a growing evil.The Lackawanna people say that there is mo reason for the continuance of the new regulations as it is calculated only ta produce embarrassment.The Grand Trunk officials, when ken to about the matter to-da , said that the company bad\" always pursued a most consepvative polity in regard to passes, They were 8 member of thie association which de- eided to abrogate passes in a general way, but they had\u201d.alivays reserved to themselves a certain diseretion.This discretion was always wisely exercised.\u2018When the friends of.the general manager bad to buy their tickets, it might assumed that there was not a great abuse of the pass privilege on the Grand Trunk system, And this was.the fact.Three were certain passes which really must be issued, and there were \u2018certain considerations which could not be -ig- nored, but, on the other hand, the company never desired \u2018to add to the pass privilege, for it held that to do so was to increase eme V, wight prove to be anything but | Tends : bi à Eficinl of em, as a igh official o tha\u201d Grand 3 pad Toe said to-da ol gu was, necessary evil.No man temerity to say that it should be.+ out altogether.The thing could not be done.At the same time, the evil could be minimized, and this the Grand Trunk Ti do ail the firme 55 th Asked if it was not a low of the independence of the members of arlia- ment to \u2018accept passes, the official said that if a man was so weak as to be fluenced by | the consideration that he had a pass in his pocket, he was obviously not the man to send to Ottawa.- \u2018Is it not the fact, however.that men in the Hguse \u2018have.been influenced in their votes.by the consideration that th hey have passes from the company pplication is before the House?vie do not know of it, but certainly if the mere matter of a pass could influence the judgment of 8 member of parliament it, it 1s manifest that he should no t pany, of Cartierville, had offere \u201cbe elected by the directors at their next the number of those who, in\u2019 im.\u2019 \u2014 \u2014 HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY MEETS.The annual meeting of the Montrea!

as they advance in years feel the nead: of provision for the future.This is the idea that underlies the whole vast fabric: of insurante in its many forms, and di- Tectors, of big companies, wisely taking it into consideration, enlist it in their service.Thereby, as the president of the C.P.R.:says in his circular, it builds up ;

spokesman.He hinted that the list was practically the same as that prepared by the witness himself, with but a few changes.He insisted upon the.appointment of Rodolphe Hetu for poll Ne 87, stating that he was a well- known cifizen.Witness did not know him and was opposed to the appointment of any one that he did not know.Arthur.Brunet.again insisted, and fin\u201c | ally witness appointed Hetuy in the lace of another one who had already een named.When witness visited poll 37 on the day of the election, Hetu told him that the voting was brisk and that he wanted more ballot papers, as several had to be destroyed on account of mistakes made by the voters.Witness gave him 257ballot papers.- \u201c Mr.Honore Gervais, official agent of Mr.Brunet during the election, was their examined.He never réceïvéd any account \u2018in \u2018connection with the election and never asked any.He had no knowledge of Azaife Brault being treas- -urer of the election organization, and knew no details of the organization.Having incurred no expenses, he simply filed a declaration to that effect, He was very busy with the Bar examinations on the day of the voting, ard took no part in the proceedings.He never received nor paid any money in connection with the election.3 Arthur Brunet was then placed in the witness box.He.positively.de-} nied having ever asked the appointment of Rodolphe Hetu as deputy returning officer, as he did not know him before the election.He admitted having paid money to different individuals, telegraphers and others, both on \u2018bons\u2019 and in cash, but could remember but very few names, and eould not tell the mounts.He admitted having offerei 25 cents to g group of students for every vote that they would poll, but he did not wish the offer to be ac- cerled, and it was réfused.-, The witness was examined on several points already brought out in his criminal trial, but his memory was defective in most instances.: Ceunsel for the petitioner then de- elarëd his enquete closed, and counsel for the detente declared that he hal no énqueto to make.\u201cMr.Bisaillon then asked an adjournment (à prepare his authorities \u2019 on his\u201cdemand for disqualification,- which he inteads to press\u2026 - \u2018The court then adjourned to to-mor- row, \u2018at \u201810 ami;

rire CLAUSE.MR.BALFOUR MAKES A STATEMENT REGARDING THE IMPOSITION OF A COUNTERVAILING DUTY.London, Dec.12.\u2014Questioned recently as to whether the law officers of the Crown had ever given the opinion that the imposition of a countervailing duty to neutralize foreign sugar bounties would contravene the favored-nation elause in existing commercial treaties, the Premier replied that he had no record of such an opinion.To-day, however, he volunteered the statement that an identical opinion had been given \u2018n 1880, but he declined to commit himself with regard to the effect of this opinion in the present circumstances.The Pre: mier\u2019s statement, however, is regarded as justifying Russia\u2019s threat to treat the | imposition of a countervailing duty as a breach of treaty.As practically the-en- tire British export trade with foreign countries is carried on under the protection of the favored-nation clause the government faces the alternative of either dropping The.Brussels Sugar Convention, or risking the loss of favored-nation advantages.One effect of Great Britain's be to entitle the Upited States and Rus- .si to place higher import tariffs on Brit- \"ish goods.It is expected that rather than risk such a serious dislosation of foreign trade the government will \u2018fôre- go the imposition of à countervailing duty on sugar.Co .JOINT HIGH COIIUSSION \u2014 MR.CHARLTON\u2019S ALLEGED STATEMENT PREMATURE.12.\u2014Upon enquiry it js statement attributed to Mr.John Charlton, M.P., that negotiations are \u2018proceeding for the resump Ottawa, Dec.learned that the | tion of the Joint High Commission is altô- getBer premature.BY-LAW SUSTAINED RECORDER FINES ESTATE FOR MAINTAINING PRIVY PITS.- About two years ago the city passed a | by-law abolishing privy pits within the city limits, \u2018One year waa allowed pio- prietors to do away with them and put in proved closets.: * Bince May the Health Department has been\u2019 notify- widow of the late Chas.8B.Rodier, an executrix of the estate, was preceeded against in September for not complying with \u2018the law.This morning Mr.Recorder Weir rendered judgment in the case, finding the defendant guilty and fining ber ten dollars and costs or one month.-The Recorder maintained that the by-law had sufficiently publish~ ed;

and the Grand Council of Ontario, by Mr.H.J.Snel- ove, of Cobourg, the Grand Regent; .Lyman Lee, of Hamilton, the Grand Secretary, and His Honor Judge MeWatt, of Sarnia.The two latter gentlemen are also members of the 5u- preme Council, Judge MeWatt being a member of the committee on appeals.With, regard to the institution of Primus Council, it was a surprise to the Supreme Council, and if the deputy who was authorized to institute coun- clls at that time had notified them of his intention to institute a council in.Canada, the probability is that his work would have been postponed, as no determination had been arrived at in regard to extending the order beyond the limits of the United States.The deputy, Mr.P.L.-Teeple, - a very successful organizer, had worked his way up through Michigan to Port Huron, and being acquainted in -Can- ada, he went over there naturally, and found plenty of friends who were ac- uainted with him, and who had enough faith in him to venture mem- hip in a new organization.The tn à council to be- instituted in the Dominion was Ontario, No.42, R.À, in Petrolea.The Royal Arcanum has wn and spread until to-day it extends from the Atlantic to the Paëifie.The membership has passed the quarter of a million mark, having on: Nov.30, 251,383 members in good standing in 2,016 courcils, of which number 5,576 are in the Dominion, divided as follows: \u2014 Ontario, 3,537 members in 59° councils; Quebec, 1, 180 in 16 councils; New Brunswick, 568 in 12 councils; Nova Scotia, 183 in 4 councils; Prince \u201cRd- ward, 88 in 2 councils, and British- Columbia, 40 in 2 councils.There are two councils in Canada, the oldest being the Grand Touneil of Ontario, which was instituted on May 14, 1885, and the Grand Council \u2018of Quebec, on Dec.28, 1901.Mr.George W.Liddell, of Montreal, deputy supreme regent, is at work in the Mari time Provinces, with the object in view \u2018of having sufficient members to entitle them to a grand.council.The frst council in Ontario was Primus, No.40, Sarnia, Dec.12,.1877; in Prince Edward Island, Prince ward, No.132, Charlottetown, - July 25, 1878; New Brunswick, St.John, No.133, St.John, Aug.1, 1878; Nova Scotia, Acadia, No.248, \u2018Annapolis, Feb.T3, 1880; Columbia, Majestic, No.1513, Victoria, Aug.22,:1895.The.largest council.in the Dominion is Maple Leaf, No.$67, .of Toronto.with 372 members, and the second largest is Canada, No.612, also - of Toronto, with.350.members, During the past-twenty-five years over two milliôns of dollars have.paid fore AF Save ben pend ont an ve 1d.oul to beneficiaries of members.in the Unit- = States and Canada since the; Founding of .the order, of which sum $6,221,767 have -been paid in the present year: to Nov.30.The emergency fund, in care of the 9 the handsome sum of sau, \u201cThe |: F monthly.assessment.paid to teessurer by.-and has \u2018been Supreme Ed | Quebec, Montreal, No.1154, ; Montreal, \u2018May 16, 1889; and British to the supreme.the entire \u2018membership in in November totalled up the immense sum of #202,000, having more than doubled the\u2019 November\u2019 assessment of seven years ago, when .it was $287,000, and the date is not for distant when a round, milliôn of doflars-will roll into the supreme treasury each -month.The present.year is the most successful that the Royal num has éver known, the initiations to Nov.30 being 28,237, a large incregse over last year.This order is the Ling among fraternal orders, and no.order ns to 2 reds it in its\u201d class of miembership, ing- many of the yminent clizens in the -various localities among its-most aciive workers.- It has the: smallest lapse rate per thousend of any of the fraternal or- ers on -this continent.lt is a: striking example of business and fraternity, being very conservative in its management, and at-the same: ite progresawve, The: Supreme Council has \u2018honored the .Dominion with two visits, the first being in 1888, when the cleventh annual session was held in Toronto, and the second in 1900, when the.twenty-third annual.ses.\u2019 sion was held in Montreal.Next year the \u2018Supreme Council méets in Quebec at the Chateau Frontenac.The Royal Arcanum was imfroduced info - states\u2019 and oné Canadian province ° the month of December, 1877\u2014Virginia on \u2018the first, New York on the\u2019 third, Georgia and Ontaño on the twelfth, and Wisconsin on the twenty-ninth.The Supreme Regent is Mr.Joseph A.Langtitt, of Pittsburg, Pa.e is also president of the National Fraternal Congress.The Supreme Secreta Mr.W.Robson, of Boston, se.He is one of the founders of the \u2018order, \u2018Secretary: \u2018since on.le Supreme Trea: rer ner, president of e National \"fon Westfield, N.Y.He bas held.the office for.twenty-two years.\u2018Three of the local.councils will cele- rate the silver Jubilce of the order: in Udnada by holding \u2018council class nights.\u2019 Laurentian No.1321 R.ès on Dec.15, and Fine Soho No.1293 K.A., on ec.oth.events ea place in the Royal Arcanum Hall, ids St.Catherine street.These councils.will each have a large class of candidates to initiate into the mysteries of \u2018V.M.C., the.ome in Laurentian Council being under: Duty ix ix., exemplified by the inter- council degree team, with a choir of twénty voices to rander the odes.ante, initiation of the class-in Prince Albert Council will he under the \u2018Dor- chester Ritual\u2019 by the officers\u2019 degree staff of \u2018the ben the Jes sand, musi cal service er the ction.of.Mx.-W.J.Birks, \u2018the organist of the council, © This is.a special fitual- authorized by the \u2018supreme.regent, and Prince Albert.has the.honor: of being the first and.only council in the Dominion to, adopt it.\u2018Aberdeen Council No.1707, R.-A., will also hold.a class night in \u201ctheir \u2018council room, Monument Nation: 4, the ening: of Dec.22.nt of Ontario 1 is Mr.Hog institution.The © Jere, oburg;

That prediction \u2018of sir \u201cWilirid Laurier has been rédfized.~.THE TARIFF, Mr.Fielding, referring to theXärif, said: \u2018IT am far from claiming that our \u2018tariff is perfect, and not capable .of being amended in some particulars.Let us not deceive ourselvey, We Kave never:had a free trade polie this Dominion] and we are no@ likely to.have it within the memory of any man in this meeting.There always, has been & measure \"of -incidental.protection.If you put on à duty of 15 percent on \u2018something made in \u201cCanada and something.made abroady.inei- dentally you confer a protection\u201d to that extent.Tt will be always so: for a considerable time to eome.Tt is a question between.a moderate and\u201d -x reasonable tariff, and a\u2019 question of high and excessive duties which {prevailed under the National Policy: \u201cI do not say, and I repeat it! ;that the fariff is perfect.It is\u2019 five\u2019 years since: the tariff.was prepared.But hake clianges have been made, .Wave held that it is a great improve- tariff changes.Every business man appreciates the matter of tariff stabil ity.It is a matter of sometimes \u201cwe had better bear the ills we have than fly \u2018to others that we know not of.\u201d It'is better to bear with some little inequality than to, open up.the.tariff question and ta.disturb the equlibrium of \u2018trade.But changed conditions - home - .and abroad may necessita looking over these items from time to \u201cTHE GOVERNMENT'S ATTITUDE.T am not here to offer anything new on the tariff question.The last bud: get speech made was the.authorized: statement of the government of Can- | ada, but I say that we are not going tariff.\u2018If there is an inequality :which\u2019 needs to be remedied we are prepared.is a new condition created bÿ- the.are interfering with our trade, in short, | Àf anything has happened we donot propose to shut our eyes to established _|fsicts.But we do say that where: the.Headaches, Constipation, Loss of Appetite, Salt Rheum, ad, Ont; write getting no, Zaks fv ni- the by eee Bend oi to she T Twas.Dyspepsia, .peu \u201cPimples, ; | adequate protection.It js.a {| country has prospered: under this tariff there-is no reason for getting up an.exciternent for the purpose of.having a return to high tariff duties, -spetked: friend inthe\u2019 Opposition,\u201d Mr.\u2019 \u201cBorden, thinks he has a policy.\u201cHe calls -it \u201cadequate protection.\u201d Big, \u201cTr think the people of Canada are \u2018too intelligent to be caught with chaff.They will \u201cwant to know the meaning of less phrase.\u201d - \u201cThe Dominion Cabinet, wi pio posed by Senator Power, and responded\u2019 W.Paterson,\u201d and the Hon.\u2018BR.Pref and knowledge : muë X : 1 70 \u2018years in-the light of experi- But | and the fullest honor i is not More than _ local political 'affairs; he ire : said, in parte\u2014 Well, can I not-say for | at least six.years the Liberal party at |.int thing.We have the same\u2019 rate, of in- | : int.te to tie ourselves to every item in.«the | to consider it and remedy it.\u201d If there | tp.by- the Hon.A.G.Blair; the Hon.'} ot ut thai pre ot Joint Direct Service by : THE: ALLAN, - san SDERPSTER iw FlRNESS LINES Unidér' contract PU\" \u201cthie + DOMINION GOVERN MENT } MONTHLY SAILINGS PRO BONTRE and QUEBEC SUMNER FROIF ST.JOHN ane HALIPAX IN WINTER.Xt Bi Tntended: that: \u2018the first steamer will | on.Port Elfzaboth and Durban.e second steamer at\u2014 Capetown Mossel Hay and East London.The third Steamer at\u2014 Ce rt Elizabeth and Durban, fter Which 1 they may proceed to Delagen Bay.it sufficient cargo offer: he sailings, ars intended to.be as follows: \u2014.FROM MONTREAL.ss.\u201cONTARIAN.!
