considered that it was not his duty to persist in his demand, but to accept Mr.Vallicres's declaration and explanations.He hoped that this incident would have the effect of putting a stop to those wretched rumors which were tending to cast discredit on the Legislature and were so detrimental to their autonomy and patiomality.In view of this declaration a motion wax made to decigre the incident

PAVEMENT NEW REGULATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH AND DECENCY.The by-law forbidding spitting on the sidewalks has passed its first reading, but is not yet in force.Acording to numezss ous complaints received at the \u2018Witness\u2019 office, it cannot be tou quickly put into; operation.Gangs of men, it is said, are frequently seen on St.James, St.Catherine, Craig, Windsor und St.Lawrence streets standing in front of employment agencies, saloons, pool-rooms, etc., impeding traffic and bespattering the pavement with fllthy tobacco juice.Most of the offenders are described as foreigners.lt is suggested that in the interval, before the by-law is passed, notices in English, French and Italian be posted in conspicuous positions at those places where such crowds are accustomed to congregate, requesting the frequenters not to expectorate on the sidewalk.When the by-law comes into torce, the police will have more authority And may be expected to do their duty in the interest of public health and decency.Notice of motion was recently given Alderman St.Denis, chairman of the Police Committee, of a by-law to regulate the trafic of pedestrians on the streets and footpaths, Heretofore it has been necessary to apply the Vagrancy Act to reach such offenders, but this bas not worked satisfactorily in many cases, as the defence generally was that these persons who refused to move on when requester to do so by the police, were respectable people and could not be likened in any way to vagrants.The new by-law is expected to meet a Jong-felt want, and to prove a boon to the Police Department and the city.A section of the proposed by-law reads as follows: \u2014 \u2018Any person who obstructs passengers or trafic by standing or loitering upon the streets, highways, lanes, sidewalks or pavements of the city of Montreal and refuses without sufficient excuse to move on when required so to do by any constable or peace officer; \u2018Any person who causes a disturbance in Or Dear any street, lane, highway or public place by shouting, singinz, swearing or using insulting language, \u2018Shall be liable for each offence and be brought before the Recorder's Court of the city of Montreal, and to receive such sentence in the discretion of the said court as may be lawfully imposed in virtue of Article 807 of the charter of the city of Montreal.\u2019 COMMERCIAL.TRANSVAAL GOLD

The issue of legal tender notes, resulted in such depreciation of their value that the government's later loans at 6 percent were actually put out at a gold valuation of \u20ac0 cents on the dollar.FINANCIAL NEW YORK STOCKS Now York, May 6.\u2014Very few stocks were dealt in at all in the first five minutes of trading in the stock market to-day and of the usual market leaders the majority wore unchanged.There was no change in excess of a guarter either up or down except for a decline of 3 In M.O.P., and an advance of % in Western Union.J.B.Picken & Co.'s wire:\u2014The banks have lost to sub-treasury this week upwards of five millions of dollars and from such movements as are known it is likely to show loss in cash by the banks in werk- ly statement which may be somewhat unfavorable on this account.' | : sharp : Richelieu.83 New York, May 6.\u2014Wall Street\u2014Noon\u2014 | Business came to a standstill virtually and, the movement in active stocks was barely perceptible.Metropolitan Street RaNway after being depressed 1 1-8, rallied 5%.Wool! prefererrd lost one.Bonds were heavy.New York, May 6.\u2014Noon\u2014Money on call: nominal at 114 to 1-12: prime mercantiie paper, 3% to 4%.Exchanges, $239 874,726.NEW YORK STOCKS.Bpecially reported for the \u2018 Witness' by C.D.Monk, St Socrament street, Local Manager for J.8.Bache & Co., New York, by direct wir >.Opening sad Closing Prices, 3 p.m.Mey 5 May8 Btocks.Opg.Close.Opg.Close Amalgamated Copper 47% 4759 47 48 American Loco.Co Lane eee _\u2026.1954 8244 #4 127 1274 pre Ain.8melting & Retin Amer.Car Foundry Anaconds Mining A.Top.& Bt.Fe.do do, Baltimore & Ohio 0.0.Brooklyn R.T.Chic.& Alton C Crosdian Pacific.Canada Southern.Ches & Ohio.Chic.Bur.& Chic.& N.W Colorado Southern.do.do.LL A do.da II pref.Cousolidated Gas N.Y Colorsdo Fuel & Iron Corn Products.do.pro Clevaland C.C.& St Detroit United Ry.Delaware, L.& W.Dolaware & Hudsou Deurer, Rio G., com .do pref.Duinth, B'th Shore & À do.do pref.\u2026 Great Northern, pref.General Electric, Hocking Valley lineisCoasral lows u,, com do do.pref.Jersey Central.\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.Kausns & Texas com Manhattan Elevated., Missouri Pacific.M 8.hf.com.do.pref.Metropolitan Trac.N Y.Central & Hud N.Y.Lake Erie & West.do.do.I.pref.do.do.Il.pref.N Y.Ontario & West.Mortheru Mecuriues.\u2026 Norfolk & West, com Omeba, com.Chicago to-day as follows: do.pref.Open.High Low.Close.Pacific Mail.Wheat, May .90% 91% 90 91% Eeanssivania R Rxd July .8% 865 8514 8uSg do.o.core ce Corn, May .47 47% 47 47% | People's Gas iti July ASY% 48% 484 4815 | Phila & Reading.© Oats, May 41% 41% 41 41 qe do.cee July Cam mi ay and do Ton | Jork.July .11.95 11,87 11,42 1L67| publio Sieeik Iron 07 St Lard, July .6.65 6.67 b.60 6.62b | Rock Island ce tidcates.2 ; Ribs, July .65 6.55 6.42 6.45 | Bvuthern Ry.com.01 do.pref.8343 Southern Pacific.47% SUGAR GOES UP AGAIN.Tenn.Coal & Iron.es ; Wexas Pacific.Cas 224 On account of the advance in raw beet | Twin City.4 94 944, U.B.Leather, com.pref.do.do pref.a.\u2026\u2026.A i Union Pasitic, com Bile Bi, do.do.pret.\u201c een Wahash.do.pref.Western Union Tel.Wis.Cen com.do.do, pret, ee ces 40 LOCAL STOCKS.Dominion Iroh securities made a further advance (his afternoon The ;- ferred gained three points over d.nper | and all three issues made further adva- + sin the afternoon, with large dealings : the bouds.AFTERNNON SALES Iron Com.-\u20142 at 10%, 10 a1 11.i/n at Cu 100 at 11.10 at 11, 25 at 11%, 0 at 12 Twin City\u2014100 at 94 1-5, 190 a0 .at du.IV ut HA, DO at 04d, 2 R.& O.C.\u2014% at 874.Montreal Powr-\u2014 25 at 74 1ron pid \u201425 at 25, 50 at !

recommendations made by Mr.Howe in his report to the Underwriters\u2019 Association on fire fighting ap paratus in Montreal, bul there 1s one thing to which he takes strong escep- tion.Mr.Ferns 1s willing to admit Mr.Howe's abilities as an insurance expert, but when 1t comes to practical electrical experience there is a difference of opiu- ion.ten Mr.Howe recommended that the fire alarm wires should be placed over other wires in the streets, Mr.Ferns says, he could not have been acquainted wibh certain important conditions that exist in this connection.\u2018Before the ntroduron of Electric Light and lower wires, all fire alarm wires were phiced on top.Experience, gained since this fume, bas proved that the proper place for them is below these heavy current wires for the foilowing reasons :\u2014 \u2018Trouble on our lines at night couid not be repaired; as there is nof a hne- man who would risk his hie to go up through these wires to the top of a pole on a wet night to do the work.\u2018Heavy copper wires are used ior hght and power purposes and are very rarely broken by the wind, sleet or acer | dent.Fire alarin wires, on the contrary, being of iron, are the first to go.Bang on the bottom they fall to the ground instead ot in among the heavy current wires, bemg thus less dangerous apd also more easily repaired.\u2018 Fire alarm wires being on the lower croës arms are accessible to our men at all times, night or day.and for fire purposes they must be within reach at all times.\u2018 Another fact to remember is that the city owns only about seventy of the poles weed by ite re alarm system, and the companies who own the test of the poles used by the city reserve the tops of their poles for their own use.\u2018Short circuits are also of rare occurrence when our wires are under the heavy ones.If Mr.Howe had recommended that our wires -hould be placed under ground I would agree with him.That is their proper place, but last and least of all on top of the network of heavily charged wires now seen on some poles which we use.That is absolutely 1 icable.\u2018The recommendation that the central alarm system should be instalied in a fireproof building and that more boxes of the latest noninterfering de sign should be placed, » a wise one ard cannot be acted upon too soon.I have already urged these improvements, among others, in my reports.\u2019 TALE OF A TOP HAT PASSENGER OFF THE \u2018IONIAN\u2019 PRESENTS HIS HEADGEAR TO AN ASTONISHED DRAY.MAN.As the Allan Liner \u2018Ionian\u2019 slowly and majestically glided alongside the
