staying with his aunt, Mw MacDonald, 31 Bleur- street.went out tor a walk on Monday.He was mm the habit of taking long sohtary walks.bur always returned within reasonable tune.His prolonged absence therefore caused much uneasiness, which increased as the tune passed and he did not return.For some years past the artist has been mentally afflicted, his once brilliant nund having become unsettled as a result of overwork at lis beloved profession, m which he saw tame betore him.His aged mother aud other relatives are 1 a state of tesri- ble anxiety and distréas, à cs x.MR.JAMES M.BARNSLEY, who

recognition than Mr.Barnalev's.His sad breakdown was a melancholy close to an art career which was fall of promuse.His devotion to his work deteated 1ts own aim.From the time when as a boy, \u201cJim\u201d Barnslev's water colours got the blue mb- Lon at a competition in St.Louis, he made steady progress.The Paris papers trequently noticed his work.aad poke of bis originality and brilliancv.and the American cn.tics never passed over Barnsley's paintings.When he was only 26 years of age his fine pamting, \u201cEntrance to the Harbour at Dieppe.\u201d war exhibited in Montreal.It has been hung at the last Paris Exhibition.The Star at that time spoke of it as the best marine picture shown in Montreal for many years.The Post Dispatch, of St.Louis, speaking of the same painting said that it was One of the most important pictures of that cluss ever exhilited in this country.When he returned {rom -pending five vears 1n Panis the pavers of ths country prophesied tor him great things.It 1s pathetic to retlect that within comparatively few years from that time, the mind which had conceived fine work, and gave promise ot even greater, became clouded.and was the cause of his laying down, perhaps forever, the brush and palette.TERRIBLE GALES OFF COAST OF BRITAIN.London, February 25.-\u2014- À severe gale prevatied here and along the roast ast mght, causing

Harbour Board Decides That Wooden Structure Would Not Meet City\u2019s Needs, DIFFERENCE IN COST IS NOT VERY GREAT.Wooden Sheds Might Mean Fire Which Would Injure Port for Many Years.Montreal.according to the Harbour Board's decision to-day.is mot to have wooden sheds upon the bigh level wharves, but steel structures will be built instead.A special meeting wus called to consider the question ot plans and specifications which bad been placed betore the members of the Board by the acting chief engineer.the figures of which were given in detail in last Monday's Star.The engineers had according to instructions, prepared the plans and specifications apd estimates for wooden sheds, and also estimates for steel construc: tion.They had not, however, been ordered to make the specifications for steel structures, so that this must now be done.Up to the meeting to-day a number of the Board's members favoured wooden construction, but when the matter cume to he threshed out at the meeting only ove mem: ber opposed the fire-proof construction, this being Mr.Jonathan Hodgson, .who voted cgaiust 1t On the plea of economy.The difference between steel and woul, | however.1s not nearly so great as the members were led to imagine before the estimates were made, the consequence being that several members altered their original opinions.The cost of the wood construction is 81.- 517.300, and that of the steel $2,382,000.ac cording to the estimates of tha Harbour Board's engineers.This difference will, however, be materially reduced when the Government grants the rebate of the duties which is usual in such cases.After a preliminary canter into realms which had nothing to do with the business ior which the meeting was called, acting chairman Bickerdike finally managed to yet the business a1 tha day betvre the Board.AGAINST WOODEN CONSTRUCTION.As a prelude, Mr.Doran moved that the plans and specitications beiore them, calhing tor wooden construction be not approved.und that the engineer be authorized to prepare plans for steel and concrete construc Lon.Mr.Doran in speaking to his motion sul that the difference in cost was, ruughly epeaking, $800,000, which when the duty rebate was considered would not be much more than half a million, if, indeed, it did not below that sum.He then went on to speak oi the danger from fire.Not only would the sheds be exposed to grave danger, but their contents and the shipping in the harbour as well.Wooden sheds might mean a conflagration which would injure the port for a half century to come.Hv was af the opinion that no public body would su t the idea of.uwoaden sheds).20d lo thought on Be erent | at Ottawa was too clear sighted to perm of such foily.He then called to mind the fearful tragedy which occurred on the New Jersey docks not mary months ago when only was the loss of life fearful.but damage was done to the extent of some four mil lion dollars.The additional cost tor the port of Montreal would be trifling in con- parison to the importance of the same.At this point Mr.Hodgson interruptet and was told to go way to the réar\u2014or to use the exact expreswion: Mr.Dorun told him that he knew more about the subject than did his neighbour.Mayor Cochrane, in seconding the motion, went over the general advantages on much the same lines ua those followed by the mover, adding that he beheved that the Government would rather bave steel.WHO WILL PAY THE BILL.Mr.Hodgson objected to the additional cost and wanted to know who would pay the bill.\u201cWell, you won't,\u201d remarked one of th» COMMISEIONETE.Mr.Hodgson said that he had been getting goods in tbe port for fifty vears sud bad never lost a dollar's worth by tire.\u201cThere have been losses by tire 1n the port though,\u201d said Mr.Reford.If the difference in the cost was only a half mullhion Mr.Reford wus a believer 1 the steel construction.Mr.Geofirion advised that the Government be approached first and ascertain whe ther steel construction would be accept able.This the other members thought would be unnecessary.Mr.Racine asked the acting chief engi \u201cneer, Mr.Sproule, if the steel estimates included everything.The engineer replied that he was as sure as he could be.The Mayor then remarked that he was prepared to take the contract at the figures as estimated and give back ten per cent.to the Harbour Board.A further argument in favour of steel construction, said Mr.Reford, was that there would be less repairs year by year than with wood.The question was put to vote, and the steel won with only one dissenting vote, that of Mr.Hodgson, who said that he wished more information before committing bimself.The changing of these plans from wood to steel construction will mean something like three months\u2019 work for the Harbour Engineers, In other words, it will be somewhere near the first of June before the engineers complete their labours.These plans will then go before the commissioners for acceptance.and, if approved, will then journey to Ottawa for the approval of the Min- \u2018ter.AM af this, of course.means delay, and one of the rOmmussionere stated after the meeting to-day that he did not see much chance of even starting work before the opening of spring m 1904.PROHIBIT CHILDREN ATTENDING THEATRES Alderman Thinks Many are Led Astray by

satisfaction.\u2018So far as the Quebec constituencies are concerned,\u201d he said, \u201cthe result is practi- callv the same as it was at the general elections, and having regard to the tre mendous efforts that were made by the Government to carry the two seats, and particularly to the nature of the appeals that were made to the electors, it 18 not surprising that both Liberal \u2018candidates were returned.The result, therefore, is not at all discouraging, while the splendid victory which Mr.Thomson has won in North Grey will give encouragement to Conservatives all over Canada.That the Government made strong efforts to carry this nding 1s apparent from the fact that at least two Cabinet Ministers visited the constituency.North Grey was carried twice by the Liberals\u2014in 1896, and again in 1900.\u201cAnd what of the prospect in North Ontario ®* Mr.Borden was asked.\u201cAI the news I get from the North On- taro,\u201d replied the Opposition leader, \u2018\u2018is to the effect

to The Montreal Star.Quebec, February 25.\u2014Everything at the Parliament House is in readiness for the opening to-morrow, and when His Honour the Lieut.-Governor takes his seat upon the Throne in the Legislative Council Chamber, aml requests the attendance of the members of the Assembly.there is little doubt but that a fashionable array of Quebec society will be gathered upon the floor of the handsomely gilded apartment.The kevnote for a large turnout has been sounded by the public announcement that Lady Laurier will attend the opening ceremony.; While last session brought a new Gentleman Usher, of the Black Rod upon the ncene, this session opens with a new Sergeant-at-Arms in the Assembly, in the person of Mr.E.H.Laliberte, ex-M.L.A.for Lotbiniere.The prevailing impression seems to be pat the coming session 1s likely to be short and unimportant.Comparatively short it may be, for the Government @ill exert every possible effort to reach prorogation before Eaeter and has most of 1ts measures ready to submit to the House.Though none or these are of major importance, several of them are far from being unimportant.In private legislation.the work of the session will be very heavy.some 112 private Wills have been Even notice of.which is something like ten more than the number of last session, and vthers are still expected.At least two of the ministerial measures are pretty lengthy and exhaustive affaiff.One of these 13 the new Election bill to as- simuate the law in this province, in some respects, to that of the Dominion.Another bill which may be even longer is that re- fpecting the incorporation of .cities and towne.Tins 1s a general bill.intended tn promote uniformity in legislation of this kind, and also to decrease it in the future as uuch as possible.lt is pornble that this may only be discussed And left over to another sesmon.The Ministers will also liave several smaller hills of various kinds and lesser importance.Hon.Mr.Parent will also introdtice a bill to amend the Game Laws, but it will not be of major importance, being chiefly intended to perfeat existing legislation, by allowing more time for the prescription of offences against the law,

Toronto, 1s coming via New York.Manager McClure, speaking of the tour of the team.said that the people on the other side had treated them everywhere: with hospitality.It had been successful, with 10 wins, 13 losses, 2 draws.What would be the result of the tour on the Canadian game he could not say.though be did not think there would be inuch change.But as regards the Mantime Provinces he thought it must be particularly beneficial with four men from.the team living amidst a Rugby playing community.The Star man asked him about the l\u2019aris Sunday game.McClure eaid:\u2014\u201cNo Canadian team played in Paris.A date had been fixed for a game in that city on Sunday, but when it was found that the sentiment in Canada was strong against it the date was cancelled.The Frenchmen then came .over to London.and a scratch team was organized hut the men certainly did not go as Canadians.Only fourteen went over and two had never played a game before.No one knows exactly who went.their names were not published.and will not be.The names printed by the Paris papers were wrong.They were those of the men that played at Richmond on the day before.\u201d The western members of the team leave for home this morning by Canadian Pacific train.The steamer Pretorian left for St.John at 2 o'clock.Dr.Jack Talks.The Canadian fonthallers left Halifax this morning for Montreal.Doctor Jack, of Montreal.captain \u2018of the team, speaking to a Star representative, said that they were fairly overwhelmed with kindness and courtesies on the other side.The cordiality of their reception everywhere could not have been surpassed.They saw the best football in England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland and played inst the best men in the British Isle.Tey had an opportunity to study four different styles of football and the best of these styles which are perfect in each country.The Britiehers put on the best teams they could get against the Canadians and same of the same men played against our boys in several gaines.\u201cWe plaved too many games to win.\u201d said Dr.Jack, \u201cbut we to, as this was a pioneer trip and we wanted to make the Canadians known everywhere.For instance, we were beaten by Hawick, and the very next day we defeated Jed Forrest, a team that had beaten Hawick twice tlys season.\u201d The team, too, was badly crippled, owing to injures to different members and cou- \u2018senuently there was a general shifting of positions.Fur instance.Jack played on every postion on the team.Speaking of the shuwing made by the Canadians, Jack said: \u201cOur fellows were better stavers, nearly always playing harder in the second half than their opponents did in the first half.They hatl every British team on the defensive in the second half.As to styles of play the Scottish excelled.\u201d All their victories were very gratifying, but the first against the North of Ireland.which they won, 11 to R, was the most surprising of the tour as all thought they would.be beaten.The Paris game was not a schedule game.This game had been arranged, but owing to protests from (Canada was cancelled.The date, however, had ta be fille] and a team was mare up in London, composed of some Canadians and Londoners, two of whem had never played football before.As to styles of play in the several countries, Jack raid that the Irishmen were fairly good in half- and threequarter play, but excelled their forward line.The Scotchmen play almost altogether a forward game and were the hest forwards the Canadians met.The Welshmen, on the other hand, play entirely a three-quarter game and the passing vf the back line was really wonderful.The Englishmen play a good all round game.THE FINANCIAL PART.Financially, Dr.Jack said, the four was not ao successful, but that was largely due to the unexpectedly heavy expenses, as in many instances the team had to stay at better hotels than originally planned, while \u201cTips\u201d and other incidentals made a con- mderable demand on their exchequer.Ea member of the team contributed a stated amount at the outset, and on the conclusion of the tour they received a small rebate.but not neatly enough to rover the ex: penses.However, all are well satisfied with the result, of the trip.The Halifax men were all good.Cam MacDonald was the strongest forward on the team., Finerty was a good steady player, always makin gains.Bauld was also good, but at time slightly nervous.Farrell, in some games, showed up splendidly .and did brilliant work.The Canadians cordially invited the | Britishers to send a team to Canada, and \u2018though no definite arrangements were made it is hoped that a tdam will come over.The members of the team who returned were Bauld, Britton, Craig; Dumoulin, Finerty, Jack, McClure, , McDonald, Ogilvie.Farrell has received a commission in the Imperial Army.Jack Powers, the dashing little back of Ottawa, is apend- ing rome time with relativès in

Ogilvie Flour.3 1 2 Montreal Power.1 3 2 | Telegraphers.1 4 1 At a meeting of the league, held at the Victoria Rink last night, called at the instance of the Flour team, whose executive desire to have the drawn games played off, it was moved and seconded, on the other hand, that as the schedule has been completed, and it is not desirable to prolong the season, that Gault Bros.be awarded the championship.In amendmen, it was moved and seconded that Gault Bros.play Ogilvies, and that if the Gault team win, they are entitled to play off for the championship; failing this, if the Ogilvies win they then play off their draw with Montreal Power, and 3f they win, they are then entitled to play off for the championabip with Gault Bros.The amendment was put and carried, Mr.Curry, of the Telegraphers, who occupied the chair, giving his casting vote in favour.A motion was then put that the games be played off as the draws occurred, which would mean that the \u2018Ogilvie team would have to play the Power team first, and then if they won would be entitled to play off for the championship.\u201d The chairman's gusting vote knocked this motion on the ead.The next motion was one fixing the date of the game between Gault's and Ogilvie as Thursday, March 2, from 9'to 10 p.m.Mr.Liddell, who represented the Gault team, re to consent to the date.\u2018The Ogilvie and Power people

being cut and dried beforehand.They state that they are perfectly willing to play their postponed game in order as it occur red during the season, but they certainly do not want to play an extra game

ports and Liverpool, On tbe one side.there 13 the Dominion Line, now one of the Morgan combina: ton, and the Elder-Demp-ter Line.just acquired by the C.P.R., while arrayed upon the other is the Allan

members.They are divided on the question.A building committee, with Mr.W.y as chairman, has been appointed to take action on the subject.Meantime the preps: ration of plans has been confided to Mr.Ramuel A.Finley, of this city.He will report to the building committee at an carly date, and then sctim will be taken wit regard to the best plan to be adopted.Archbishop Still.Unwell His Grace

TO STREET RAILWAY Present Council Not Likely to Consider Renewal of Franchize.A lew weeks ago a project was actively being discussed hy the aldermen as to the extension of the Street Railway franchise.The company notified the city that it was willing to give better terms, as to tares, clearing snow from the streets, eti., if Council would extend its franchise.The ' subject was discussed at considerable 1 ! by the Road Committee and it was t ment the matter would result in an agree being reached.This morning, however, the important statement was made by Ald.Laporte.chairman of the Finance Committee, and leader of the City Council, that the whole deal was off so far as the present City Council was concerned.\u201cI do not consider,\u201c said Ald.Laporte.\u2018that the present City Couneil should enter into this project.The affair is a very important one and would take many months of consideration.My chief reason for thinking a later council whould decide the pro- Jeet is owing to the long contract which the Street Railway Company still has with the cit Before the contract expires many changes will no doubt take place.\u201d Another member of Council was somewhat worry to hear of the decision of Ald.Lapurte.He thought that as the city had been able to make such a good deul with the Royal Electric Company, equally good terms might have been made with the Street Railway Company.He pointed out that when Council called for tenders for the electric Lighting of the city, the contract of the Royal Éleotric had yet years to run; despite this the Royal Electric had been obliged to reduce its figure by fifty per cent.in order to secure a renewal of contract.IN ONE YEAR., Magnets That are Attracting Capital \u2014Western Canada Has Easy Access to Every Continent on the Globe.Made $2.097.83 in ove year from 160 acres, besides paying for the farm and its running expenses! \"This is the report of one farmer who has gone into the wheat raising business in Western

risks attending investment in the western prairies for wheat raising are at a minimum.The soil is practically mexhaustible in fertility, the climatic con- ditiona furnish all requisites for perfect

Vote of Censure of British War Secretary Defeated.MAJORITY OVER A HUNDRED Nationalists Did Not Vote\u2014Speeches of Churchill and the Prime Minister, 8pecial to the Montreal Star.London, February 25.\u2014The debate on the army reorganization was resumed yesterday with a feeling of confidence on the Government side that\u2019 the discontented members of the party would be whipped into line.Alexander WyHe and other men who have criticized the War Office methods, admitted that they had no Intention of voting against.the Government.Mr.Brodrick's critics, moreover, were constrained to admit that he had made a better defence than they bad expected, although he had shown little art in covering the weak points of the reorganization scheme, and In making the best use of facts respecting increased recruiting and the strengthening of the regular army, the militia and the yeomanry.WINSTON CHURCHILL'S JOKE.Winston Churchill was in great form last evening.His speech was full of happy turns, and even Mr.Brodrick himself laughed, when Mr.Churchill declared that there was a larger proportion of Generals to the rank and file in the British army than In any other army in the world, except the Venezuelan.Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, who followed Mr.Churchill, was very dull, and the debate quickly sank tn a humdrum level.The lethargy of the House was brbken at length by the rousing cheer which greeted the Prime Minister, when, Just after 11 o'clock, he rose to close the debate.BALFOUR ON NEEDS OF EMPIRE.The Prime Minister first complimented Mr.Asquith on golng to the heart of the question, namely, whether the army was too large and costly for the Empires needs.Of course, he said.the fleet stood first, but there were limits to the uses of a fleet.lt was Impossible to bring a war to an end with a fleet which could not even strike a heavy blow at most (ne.mies with which Great Britain might be engaged without a strong attacking force of soldiers, and it would be folly to deprive the country of a means of offensive action in the event of an emergency.Mr.Balfour contended that three ariny corps were necessary for work outside \u2018he Empire.They bad to consider the defense of India.He regarded a war between Great Britain and Russia as in the highest degree improbable, but it was impossible to forget that the Indian frontier was the key of Great Britain's military position in the event of such a war, and without being an alarmist he wished to impress upon them that events moved rapidly in Central Asia.In conclusion, Mr.Balfour claimed that the Government deserved well of the country.The Government did not trim ita salls to popular favour, and if the House desired an army on a scale that the Government thought inadequate, the House must look to another Government, Mr.Balfour, in conclusion.plainly showed that the success of the amendment would mean hot only the fall of Mr.Brodrick, but the fall of the Government.NATIONALISTS DID NOT VOTE.A division was taken amid Intense excitement at midnight.The Natlonalists walked out when the division bell rang.and only 12 Unionists voted for the amendment, which was rejected by 261 to 145.It 18 certain that the Nationalists would have opposed the amendment If the revolt had been more serious, as they had no idea of allowing the Government to be Je- feated before the Irish Land Bill was Introduced and enacted.It is a curious circumstance that the amendment was rejected by precisely the same majority, 118, as Sir Henry Camp- bell-Bannerman\u2019's amendment on the same subject two years ago, but on that occasion the Nationalists supported the Liberu] leader, The Government's normal majority 18 206.Rumours that Mr.Brodrick will soon quit the War Office were again cur- ! rent in the lobbies last night.ANARCHISTS WILL MEET IN SECRET CONVENTION.New York Paper Prints Sensational Story as to What Will be Done at Convention in Paris.New York February 25.\u2014The Evening Telegram prints a story to the effect that Anarchists from all over the world are about to meet in a secret convention at Paris to devise plans that may radically affect the crowned hedds of Europe.All preparations for the convention were carefully guarded, but the plans became known through the boastful talk of a youthful delegate trom thie city.He is an Italian, known as \u201cAngelo\u201d and \u201cRudolph.\u201d The Tclegram says: \u201cFar-reaching Anarchistic plans are to be discussed and perfected at this world's convention, it is sald, and it is even whispered that, before an adjournment is taken, à meeting of anarchy's inmost cabal will have held, and lots will have been drawn assigning men to deeds, the full ac- Complishment of which may shape the dest nies of the reigning houses of Europe.\u201d ' Jesuits for St.A petition Patrick\u2019s.signed by nearly all the leading parishionere of St.Patrick's Church will shortly be presented to the Jesuit Fathers, asking them to amume direction of the parish in succession to the Sulpicians, who ave announced their intention of with- dawing.The petition, if ed by the Jesuits and ratified by His Grace the Arch- hishop, will result in one of the most important changes in the diocese for some tame peat.as it is intended that should the Jesuit Fathers take charge of the parmh, the present Sacred Heart Convent on Alexander street.will be purchased for them, and in future be used as the English clas sical college in pace of the present Loyola College on nd street.King\u2019s Daughters\u2019

FINANCES.are Believed to Have Been About Adjusted.The troubles of the Republic mine and They \u201cmid have been about adjusted, accordtng tn a Spokane despatch.All the creditors of the company, with one exception.have egreed to take bonds in settlement of their claims.The Canadian bank however.to which the mine and 11 still owe $30,000, has brought soit In Orfario.In order to avoid trouble from this quarter the com- \u2018pany has given a deed of trust on all ita property to Secretary G.W.C.Lanskail, \"far the benefit of the creditors.The as- alkmment Is expected to protect the mill from any judgment which the Canadian bank might secure.Other creditors are keenlv anxious that such @ thing as the confiscation of the plant under a judgment be avoided, for thi pale nf the mill mechinerv would prac- ally destroy the plant.The Interesta whieh dre attemoting to put the mine on tty feet again believe that the mill may be en portant factor in future operations.The mill was not a complete success owing.to heavy losses on silver, yet It may be remodel to permit- of more economical handing of the ore than would be possible by smelting.The - task of clearing out the mine for the Inspeqtion of President Patrick Clark's .JAMES BTRACHAN delivers dread 10 any address.246 City Hall Aves Phone Æ.71.3 experts Is ing ahead, and much of the sampling has been completed.The whole mine

up so satisfactory that the committee will order development to go ahead with a fynd of $60.000 to §75.000 recently raised for that purpose from the sale of bonds.The liabilities of the mill company amount to from $200,000 to $300,000.WAR EAGLE\u2019S TROUBLES.Vice-President Complains Bitterly of Opposition to Company.At the annual meeting of the War Eagle Consolidated Mining and Development Cao.(limited).in Toronto yesterday.Vice President T.G.Blackstock, In the chair.created u mild sensation by practically threatening, If certain conditions contin- ted, to close down both the War Eagle snd Centre Star mines and pull out of Rossland camp.Mr.Blackstock said in part \u20181 desire to say here for myself, and 1 think [ voice the sentiments uf the president and of the whole board.that unless we can get, If not cordial support, at least a cessation of the opposition which we have encountered from those whose Inter.eats are as much at stake in the solution of this milling problem as our own, we shall allow some one else to furnish the money both for fighting these people In litigation and for operating the mines.We have met with the antagonism of the Government: of the province, the labour unions, the municipality and the smelter in our efforts to reduce cosls and to secure water necessary to mill our low grade ures, without which\u2014 speakin& only for my- self\u2014F believe every mine in Rossland will he ctosed-up and abandoned within a comparatively few months, This fs plain taik, but is Intended for those who apparently think we are afrald tv abandon the mines, and will.therefore.yield something to their factious opposition.\u201d \u2018The financial statement for the year 1902 presented was not à very cheerful document.It showed that $238 096.46 was spent on the mine and that the net receipts from ore gates totalled only $203,240.02.The expenditure for the year thus exceeded the revenue by $35.545.42.but it is to be remembered that the bulk vf the year's expenditure was on account of development work.The mine winds up the vear in debt to the extent of $6883.101.47, ax against $641.- 518.44 at the end of 1%.Of this $273,425.08 is owed to the
