investigate complaints of insubordination and lack of discipline.Dr.J.A.Duchesneau is a man of large experience in prison at- fairs, and one of the leading ologists in the country.He was a pointed to the war- denship under the Mackenzie administration in 1875, and was dismissed from office in 1891, for political reasons.In 1897.after an investigation conducted by Mr.D.A.La\u2018 fortune, advocate, of this city, Mr.T.Ow met was dismissed from the position oi warden, and Ir.Duchesneau was appointed to his old position.THE DEPUTY WARDENSHIP.When the position of deputy warden, long held by Mr.McCarthy, became vacant, there were many applicants for the position.The successful onc.however, was Mr.Oscar Beauchamp, of this city.le had been up to that time a clerk in a dry goods store.hut he bad rendered yoeman service to the Liberal party, especially in connection with the preparation of the electoral lists, to which be devoted much time and attention.To his work in that respect was attributed much of the success of the party in 1898.Dr.Duchesneau is a man of mature years, though still able to attend to business.He has lost touch to a great extent with the younger generation of politicians.On the contrary, Mr.Oscar Beanchamp is well known to all the men who direct political battles in the interests of the Government of the day.Either bimself or his friends conceived the idea that it would be well for him to obtain the first position at the penitentiary, for which he was as well fitted es he had been at the time of his appoint ment for the work of deputy warden.When the by-election in Laval county came om, Mr.Beauchamp did all in his power to =e eure the return of the party candidate.In return.the politiclans interested in that struggle lent him their asmstance to obta n the pogition so long held by Dr.Duches- peau.HOW THE SCHEME WORKED.Complaints were sent in to Ottawa that things were going badly at the penitent: ory.Inspector after inspector was sent down and one hardly returned to Ottawa until another started for the penitentiary Final ly Mr.Foster, who filled Yhe position ot warden, while Mr.T.Ouimet was on the gridiron, and remained their until the appointment of Dr.Duchemeau, and who has also made his mark in the administration of the Manitoba penitentiary.was sent down aod remained along time.All those doi Raturelly worried Dr.Duchesneau, and at | Gallery s unported son of \\ « Mu ster of Justice that u measures at La (uaira.All (ne deposits of vos) at the navy yard and all the British cars on the La Guaira va.!'roud have been brought here.rendering impossible the transportation ol the allied troops by rail.General Perrer, the Minister of War, spent al} dav ta-dav in choosing spots in the mountains where trerches are to be dug.The Gôvemer +: Cararas has Issued the following deere \u201cAN Venezuelun > living in the federal district, between the ages of 18 and 50 Vedr-, must enroll them~clhves in the mlitra;

sensational decline in the price of Consolidated Lake Buperjor shares, a special meeting of the directors of the company was held last night.It was afterwards announced that the steel and iron business is in a prosperous condition.The decline in Lake Superior shares caused a loss of more than $12,000,000 in the stock value of the company.The common shares dropped from $19.50 to $9.I5, and the preferred from $68 to $80.The company owns 2m square miles of ore and timber lands in Canada, adjacent to Lake Superior.\u2019 Five more seats of the Montreal Stock Exchange may be created In the

of Trade report that stocks were heavy, while wheat was steady.In the local market, stocks were heavy.Sales on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday werc 1,- 184.240 shares.The local stock market was hard hit again to-day as the result of further 1i- quidation in the New York market, which Induced considerable selling here.While professional trading helped to swell the list of transaction to a considerable extent.there was a good deal of! genuine liquidation of speculative accounts whic were unable to stand any further strain.Canadian Pacific was the biggest feature of the day.and had a decline from 12414 to 188%, subsequently recovering to 124le.The lowest yesterday was 12.Tho truding reached a total of 2,500 shares.Dominjon Iron was also an active feature of the decline, touching 52%.compared with 54 at the opening.The clnsing transaction of the forenoon was above the lowest, however, at 53%.The preferred had a sharper break than the common, which, it may be remarked, ia an unusual proceeding.That Issue opened at ¥ and\u2019 dropped tn 90, closing 4 stronger.The highest this week was 3%%4 The bonds were quiet at 8814.The liquidation in Montreal Power was not particularly heavy, but the trading was notable for the creation of a new low level at 87, a decline of a full point below esterday\u2019s closing.and 4 below the prev.ous low level touched In yesterday's trading.The highest the stock ever sold at was 1063 so that to-day\u2019s lowest repre- gents a decline of 184% points.It will be ramembered that a couple of weeks agn the price was depressed by an accident to the dam at the Chambly power station.Owing to the genera! weakness of the market declines among the less active ¢élooks were: Toronto Ralls to UI%.Toronto Rallway rights from $1.25 to

ago, and last night had to borrow u car ticket to take him home.Local brokers say the inarket is in n very bad state at present.Every stock on the list has suffered in price.Even the very best dividend payers have had to succumb to the prevailing sentiment.The truth Is.saya the \u201cMan in the Street.\u201d that the New York brokers think they have got AN easy thing In Toronto.One wire

in which the Montreal and Toronto pool have been interested for some time.Of the general break in the market.that paper says: Beyond the Venezuelan affair.with what Wall street chose to infer from

a closing price of o.Cunsolidat-d Lake Superior common sold as high ua 26 in April of this vear.and the preferred at 75.The Boston Journal) printed the following statement vesterday : \u201cThe report came from Montreal to-day\u2014and there ts good reason for believing that it ls well based\u2014to the ffect that the Donninion Iron and Steel Company Is planning to JESUS $5,000.00 more of ta common stock carly in the new year.at $6\" per shure, and that preliminary to the new lesue the price uf the stock now outstanding will te lifted to 70.The company will, it is well understood, need additional money to complete its works, pay off its floating debt nnd to provide necessary working capital When the previous issuo of $560,000 was made It was officially sald that another issus of a like amount would be made when conditions were right.As, however, the market at present is hardly in shape to absorb a new Issue of this size, it is viry probable that its fiotations will be deferred
