THE LOSS OF TIME.Again machinery can be provided by which disputed cases can be adjusted with less loss of time than heretofore.The.vexed question of what \u2018public works are to be let by tender should bc put upon a more definite basis.\u2018Whether the Government will consider that this comes within the scope of my motion, is not certain, but I am of the opinion that the question will properly come under a consideration of sec- tioï 33 of present act.I aim a¥o at having the provisions in reference to the publication of the Auditor-General's report, so altered that the Auditor-Gen- eraPs report will hereafter be Issued in sections from time to time as soon as prizted, each section embracing one Gaver t department.At present \u2018the whole ja issued at one time in two bu volumes after Parliament - as- : tar es, \u201cAhä it is impossible for the members to become familiar with their contents during the session, \"\u2018\u2019I also believe that complete pub- \u201c#roity ehould be given to the points .y time to-time at issue between the A tor-General and the heads of de Par ts \"Théré is a provision for have Taë\u2018thë matter published in the Audi- tor-General'8 report and so submitted to the judgment of the Hpuse, but the psople should be the ultimate judges and should have the facts as soon as possible.POWERS SHOULD BE EXTENDED.\u201cThis is peculiarly the time for a re- viston of the Audit Act, the country is now committing itself to enormous expenditure.I am not questicning at present the propriety of this expenditure, but it suggests a renson for even more «ld \u2018supervision of the public funds than hitherto and for even greater safe- , guards than have existed in the past.I am not prepared tn say whether the Auditor-General's powers in reference to expenditure In connection with tle transcontinental railway will be as broad and effective as in reference to public works generally.Very grave questions in this regard are suggested by the perusal of sections 18 and 23 of the Transcontinental Railwav Act of last session.It will be generally admitted that any change should be fn tre direction of giving the Auditor- C.neral more effective means of deal- Ing with the legality and propriety of contemplated payments before the moneys arc parted with.Mr.McDoug- all is the Dominjon auditor, but he is or at least ought (0 be more.In England the corresponding official is designated Controller and Auditor-Generzl, and our official was intended to be a controller as well as auditor, and has been in fact to a great extent.If, however, tLe object which Hon.Alex.MacKenzie had in view when he created the office, is to be fully accomplished the powers of the Auditor-General must be extended rather than narrowed.\u201d EASTERN CANADIAN HANGED IN WASHINGTON.He Killed Lottie Brace, ~ Theatrical Performer, at Seattle.Walla Walla, Wash., May 7.\u2014James Champoux was hanged here yesterday for the murder of Lottle Brace, at - Seattle.Champoux killed Lottie Brace, a variety theatre performer at a theatre at Seattle in November, 1902.He had met the woman in Alaska and became infatuated with her.After he had spent most of his money on her, she threw him aside.Champoux went to the theatre, where she was employed, with the intention of killing her.He stabbed her in the head with a hunt- \u201cing knife as she was leaving the theatre.and she died the next day from the wound.Champoux\u2019s first trial wés dramatic.He feigned insanity, fought his gaolers, and acted in every way like a madman, but a jury declared him sane.His case was appealed to every possible court, but the convicted man\u2019s attorney at last gave up hope of staying the execution.Champoux stated - before Jeaving for the State prison,that he wished to die, and cursed his at- tormey for tryi to save his neck.!

den» that divorce.Clifford is still my husband.No law can alter that fact.Law cannot one\u2019 day make him mine until death, and the next day give what is mine to an- \u2018are three sections to the volume.one not say then, without.saying any- ll-teeling against her.Whitney Muo- kemer, the son, becomes very ill, und Katharine writes to Clifford, who at once visits his old home, clandestinely.His love for his former \u2018wife seems to return, and even the immaculate Katharine, -when he has again left her, writes, asking hini to return.Finally, Katharine falls ill, and her life ls despaired of, and Jsabel goes to see her.and meets Clifford and Katharine together.Next, because Mrs Keays wishes to reunite the prodigal Clifford and the castly forgiving Katharine, she is obliged to \u201ckill-off\u201d the fascinating Isabel, and allows her to be knocked down by a train and die of her severe injuries.The conversation of the boy Whitney, and the Inconsequent never- ending chatter of Airlle Casler, à young female cousin who comes on a visit to Katharine, are on a par as regards absurdity, and have no ring of true hu- rman nature about them.The book, considered simply as a work of fiction.can scarcely be called literature, and is to be pardoned only because it is evidently written, as a certain critic notes, with a deep conviction of the terrible nature of the evil with which it deals.Talks to Boys and Girls.By Rev.Sydney Btrong.(Toronto: Fleming H.Revell Co.) Though the author's name is Strong.that must not prevent us from printing our deliberate opinion that his booXx is full of strong common-sense.There?The first is entitled \u201cKite Talks,\u201d and con- aist of eight short jgpers, each one of which is to the point, and carefully worked out.\u201cRandom Talks.\u201d the second section, are full of sound advice, well expressed.The third and final section, \"The Life I Ought to Live,\u201d is written in a higher mood, and cannot tail to benefit the heart and soul of every boy and girl who may be fortunate enough to meet with the \u201cTalks.\u201d The Literature of the Celts.By Magnus.«Blackie, London, 50 Old Balley.) Things have moved rapidly since the time when Dr.Samuel Johnson, wih his rough contempt for all things Scottish, declared there was not in the world a Gaelic manuscript a hundred years old.We now know that centuries before Christ the Celts dominated Central Europe, and were well Known to the Greeks and Romans, while they had a literature of their own in several languages.The study of that literature has grown apace, and its wealth of story has inspired many poets and writers of our day, to whom the Greek and Roman legends of our schoo! days were growing stale.Among these writers ve cannot forbear to mention Mr.W.B.Yeats, whe.in his Treasury of Irish Poetry\u201d writes as follows: \u201cThe Irish legends in popular tradition and in old Gaelic literature are numerous and beautiful, and alone among great European legends have the beauty and wonder of altogether new things.May thing improbable, that they will have a predominant influence in the coming centuries, and that their influence will pass through raany countries?\u201d We think it quite likely that they will.and we notice with pleasure that Miss C.L.Thomson.well known for her selections from the Greek myths and the Morte d'Arthur has recently edited for her youthful readers \u2018The Celtic Wonder World, Irish, Welsh, and Breton Stories.\u201d in which she has laid under contribution writers of the some volume, which embodies the substance of two series of lectures given at Glasgow University, Is a valuable survey of the whole fteld, showing the various Celtic races that Inhabited Great Britain and lreland, and the Continent of Europe, and telling in charming fushion the story of the legacy of romance that they have be- Queathed to us.The lectures ju this new form haves been prepared and is- quiry sued with a view to meeting the demands not only of the genral, but also of the private student in quest of a gulde lo the original sources, the authorities and books on the subject.Tusscck Land.(London: T.Fisher Unwin.) Tussock-grass is a large grass, native of the Falkland Istes, remarkable for forming great tufts.It fs, we believe, of the same gehus as the Cock's Footgrass, which 1s abundant in Britain, and fumishes an important part of both natural and artificial pastures.In the novel before us, which deals with the south of New Zealand, frequent mention is made of great soil- tudes of tussock land.This its said to be the author\u2019s first novel, and it certainly reaches a high standard of promise, as Mr.Adams has a pleasant gift of story-tellling.brightly written, it can be recommended without fear of disappointment.The Doukhobors.By Jasreph Elkintou.(Phliadelphia: Ferris and Leach.) This handsome volume, which is §i- lustrated with abou! 50 photographs of the Doukhobors and their surroundings, besides some special portraits and maps, comprises the history of these strange people in Russia, and thetr migration to Canada.As the proceeds from the sale of the book will be devoted to the support of a school among these Russian Quakers in Canada, we trust that all who read it will urge thelr friends to do the same, and thus contribute to the desired fund.Mn Elkinton's work contains an authoritative account of the settlement in Canada of these interesting Immigrants who have been assisted to the amount of over $100.000 by the members of the Philadeiphia and London Yearly Meet- Ing of Friends.Exaggerated accounts in the sensational press of the outbreak of fanaticism among some of the members of the Doukhobor colonies have done much injury for a tinfe to their cause, but the great majority have not been affected by this accidental wave of frenzy, and \u2018in this book Mr.Joseph Elkinton has attempted to make public the grounds for an accurate popular knowledge of these European Puritans.He traces their early history, and the conditions out of which they have come, and, in short, makes it possible to understand them.book is divided into three parts, \u2018The Doukhobors In Canada\u2019; \u201cThe Exodus from Russia\u201d; and \u201cThe Doukhobors in Russia.\u201d We can conscientiously say that the writer's labours have not been in vain.and he has produced a work which is not only of cansiderable present interest.but will be re-read with increased interest as the people become better known.and it is to be hoped, prove useful colonists.Municipal Public Works.By 8.Whinery.(Macmillan: New York.G.N.Mo- rang: Toronto.)

Cable from Our London Correspondent.* lundon, May 7.-\u2014-Mr.Chamberlain's Pprèsenve is perceptibly quickening English politigs.When first he returned, his postponement until the autumn of many political speeches @used it to be bruited abroad that he was really @e broken man.disheartened by difficulties of displacing free and physically unable to bear the strain of political canpalgning.\u201cChamberlain is as good as dead,\" was the comment of his enemies, and even his friends felt depressed.But it has been evident enough this week that Chamberjain is very much alïv and that Mr.Chamberlain himself 83 peevishly active as ever, though tr tactical reasons he leaves the front ©! the stage clear for Mr.Ralfour., REASON FOR THE HOLIDAY.| Indeed it is safe to say that politfes far more than health wus the reason tof Mr.Chamberlain's two months\u2019 abgo- Jute divorce from public life.He needed a holiday, certainly, after nie Years in harness.but even more did he desire to remove from the politigai arena that one element.namely.hig- self, which split Unionism asunder, and placed the Ministry of his ally, Nr.Balfour, and his son, Austin, in daly peril of dissolution.Hence the holiday.With Mr.Chamberlain absent, othe the ; trade, | problems, such as the Chinese labour question, education, the budget, and even Home Rule supplanted the fiscal question in the public thought, and brought the great body of Ministerial- ists into line again.ITS RESULTS.Yesterday, Mr.Balfour, in address- fng the Primrose League, was able to laugh complacently over recent dissolution fears.Mr.Chamberlain's holi- 2 = a mre has come back he means means business, Already three-fourths of the Minsterfalists are Chamberlainites.who are supporting Mr.Balfour as a temporary periment, as, indeed,does Mr.Chamberlain himself.The hesl- tating one-fourth will receive no quarter.Free Traders, Mr.Chamberlain knows, Radicals he knows, but he tells his friends that he will neither know nor make terms with free food unionists.He and his powerful electoral organization will fight them unsparingly.In his own words, he has set out to purge the Unlonlst party, that is to rid it of its Winston Churchills, its Hugh Ce- cils, its Ritchies, and even its Devon- I shires.It is a big undertaking.but j one in which Mr.Balfour will, when the tine comes, co-operate, and if the result be success Mr.Balfour and not Mr.Chamberlain, will be Prime Minister, that is quite settled.J.J.HILL GIVES $1,500,000 TO | CATHOLIC CHURCH.It Wil) Go Towards the Construction An Immense

CANADNS WEST Mr.William Whyte Tells of His Recent Inspection Tour.WONDERFUL WINNIPEG of Canada\u2014Immigration Boom- ing\u2014Farmers Seeding.\u201cI may not live to see it, but within the next quarter of a century Winnipeg will bé one of the largest cities in the Dominion, possibly larger than Montreal.\u201d This remark was made this morning at the Windsor Hotel by Mr.William Whyte, the second vice-president of the PR Mr.Whyte has just returned : from a very extensive trip throughout : the North-West Territories and British Cclumbia, during the course of which he visited almost every section of the country touched by the company\u2019s sys- ten.He !s therefore naturally in a good position to speak of the present conditions and future prospects.\u201cMy reasons for this belief,\u201d contin- ved Mr.Whyte, \u2018are that Winnipeg occupies a position on the very threshold of what is destined to be the greatest wheat bearing country in the world.Already the centre of wheat growing B= 98 moving rapidly north and west: and within the time I have Indicated, the United States, which now exports an- __nually hundreds of millions of bushels of wheat, will not have a single bushel for export.When that time comes, Canada will be found to have a surplus sufficient to provide the entire British Empire with wheat.«Naturally that condition will have 1:5 reflection_in the prosperity of the chief city of the district.Winnipeg will occupy the same position in its relation to the Canadian West that Chicago now occuples as regards the American West.Its chief drawback at the present time, notwithstanding the fact that within the past few \u201cyears it has made remarkable strides, 3s in the comparative absence of manufacturing industries.Power is now very expensive.An Improvement in this regard.however.will be noted within the next few years.Already much has been done toward providing the city with cheap water power from the Winnipeg river.This has to be brought sixty miles, but, when fully developed, it will supply the city with all the power requisite.and at the game time cut the rates by one-half.\u201d Mr.Whyte says that the lumber industry in British Columbia is dull at present, chiefly owing to the fact that the Americans, not being able to find a sufficient market on their side of the line, are now exporting largely into the Canadian West.Some of the milla on this side of the line have, as a consequence, been forced to close down their doors.On tbe contrary.the mining industry is in better condition than it has been for some Yyeai Mr.Whyte visited the St.Eugene mine, at Moyle, which he describes ag a particularly white lead mine.ane the conclusion of last week, Mr.Whyte affirms, the farmers had seeded twenty per cent.of their land, and to-day he thought fully fifty per cent.of the seeding should be accomplished.If no untoward climatic condi- FENG WANG CHENG HAS.BEEN TAKEN Despatch From Seoul Indicates a Japanese

6.\u2014(Delayed in transmission)\u2014Lieut.-Gen.Stoessel has issued an order to the troops of his command as follows: \u2014 \u201cOn April 30 and May 1, the enemy crossed the Yalu river in great force and our troops fell back to positions which had been previously selected.\u201d \u201cYesterday the enemy effected an important landing on the Liao Tung peninsula, south of Pitsewo, and in the vicinity of King Chow Bay.Now our work is beginning.Naturally, the enemy will destroy railway communication and endeavour io drive our troops back to Port Arthur, and besiege this fortress, Russia's bulwark in the Far East.We will defend it until the arrival of the troops which are coming to relieve us, \u201cI consider it my duty to call upon you to display unceasing vigilance and caution, and you must be ready at all \u201ctimes to\u2019 demean yourselves towards your general with the dignity and order beseeming the glorious troops of Russia.No matter what happens, you must not lose your heads, hut remember that everything is possible in war and that we shall be able with God's help to cope with the arduous task imposed upon us.\u201d tions intervened, he thought the prospects for a crop quite in keeping with recent years should be anticipated.Mr.manner Whyte is delighted with the in which the immigration business has been stimulated this spring.Not alone are the immigrants coming in thousands from Europe, but every day large numbers cross the line from the United States.\u2018These latter,\u201d he remarked, \u201chave all got money, and along with them they are bringing hundreds of thousands of dollars\u2019 worth of cattle.\u201d Prior to returning to Winnipeg, Mr, Whyte will award the contract for the work upon the terminals at Winnipeg.Those for the station, hotel, subway and freight shed.The subway under Malin street, he says, is urgently needed.and must be constructed at once.Th C.P.R.has rebuilt over eighty miles of its track in the vicinity of Moose Jaw, in an endeavour to reduce the grades, which object has been satisfactorily accomplished.The grade Sas been reduced from one per cent.to four tentha of one per cent.The work of

in Fighting Flames.Members of eight or ten fanllies were rudely awakened from their sleep, at 4 o'clock this morning, by the cry of fire, and in a few moments they were rushing pell mell into the street.The fire originated in the rear of 604 Sanguinet street.This is part of a brick and wooden tenement building, which consists of about eight houses in all.It was of such material inside that, once the fire got a fair start it went from end to end in almost jess time than it takes to write the story.The fire was discovered by a passerby, who smashed in a door and shouted that the place was on fire.The cry was heard; and, from house to house and room to room, men and women ran, In their wild endeavour to waken those who had not heard the first call When the eastern section of the brigade arrived, it was scen that there was little or no chance for the bullding: and attention was given to.saving the lives of the inmates.Narrow escapes were many: but, so far, no casualtles of any kind have been reported.The greatest trouble was ip getting the amaller Children from the houses.; \u201d When they Were awukened,the smoke was \u2018dense, and they were unable to find thelr way to the exits.The elderly people were, however in little danger, ud the little ofies were carried to safes y.Many of the firemen were hit by fail- Ing glass, but, witb the exception of small cuts, they were not hurt., The fire started in the house occupied by Joseph Lanthier, and it Is supposed to have originated from hot ashes have ing been placed too near the wooded portion of the house.; All the families lost part of their belongings and there is not much pers sonal insurance, though the building i8 said to be fully covered.The loss wil be in fhe neighbourhood of $3000; but this does not by any means tell of the distress and suffering which will face these who, a few hours ago had comfortable homes and who, but for the kindness of neighbours, are now without a place to shelter them.A

that pretends to be farther advanced than malst corporations, while a\u2019 the time malst ither corporations hae their art galleries an\u2019 museums open on seven days o\u2019 the week.Even Edin-

Council! keep for the amusement an\u2019 edification o' the citizens.The Aterdeen folk are considerin' the question o\u2019 openin\u2019 their Public Library on Sunday.but they are to think a lot

Interest in ships has made me a present o' a new book that to me reads like a first- class story.It's a life o' Robert Napier, the famous Clyde engineer an\u2019 shipbuilder, the man wha, mair than any {ther man, fitted the steam engine for use in ships.an\u2019 showed the war!\u2019 that the Clyde was the place that could turn oot the best o' ships.He had his ain troubles in these early days, what wi\u2019 the want o\u2019 faith on the part o' shipowners in his new ideas, the difficulty o\u2019 makin\u2019 a profit on boats o \u2018a kind ne'er built afore, an\u2019 the dourneas 0 the Government in the idea that naethin\u2019 good could come frae north o\u2019 the Tweed, an\u2019 that therefore they should get their warships built In England.But he got ower his troubles an\u2019 lived to see his ships on ilka ocean, an\u2019 in nearly ilka navy.Robert Napier began buildin' ships in 1823, an\u2019 finished in 1876, an\u2019 in a\u2019 he turned oot 400 separate jobs, either ships an\u2019 engines, or engines alone, beginnin\u2019 wi auld-fashioned wooden ships an\u2019 wind- in\u2019 up wi\u2019 first class steel steamers an\u2019 warships.Nae wonder his name \u2018is an

This, says Perth, was an insult to it, as its Lord Provost ranks next to the Lord Provost o\u2019 Edinburgh.It demanded an apology frae the Convention, but the Convention said it could elevt ony

linkin\u2019 o\u2019 the West Indies to the hame country in the bondg o\u2019 trade.At the same time, it was admitted that as yet the fruit trade wi\u2019 Jamaica sna payin\u2019 its way.The Elder-Dempster line, o Liverpool, bargained wi\u2019 Mr.Chamberlain when he was Colonial Secretary, to put on five boats, an\u2019 they wad get so much frae the Government.But they took the job ower cheap, thinkin\u2019 the trade wad grow so fast that they wad soon be makin\u2019 a profit.Instead o\u2019 that, although they hae proved that fruit frae Jamaica can be put fresh on the markets o' London an\u2019 a\u2019 the toons in country, they see noo that a \u201cdirect Ine\u201d o\u2019 steamers to Jamaica needs mair than fruit to mak it pay.Its only hope is In the revival o' the sugar industry, that was killed by the bad bounty system that has noo been done awa\u2019 wi.What Jamaica wants sald the speakers at the launch, is men wi\u2019 capital to put into its sugar trade.Edinburgh

old Ireland L DAILY STABSATURDAY, MAY 7, 1804.3: © The drama of \u201cThe Last Irish King,\u201d which has lately been played in Dublin, has raised a discussion as to who was the last sovereign of Erin.: The author of the drama, Mr.T.O.Russell, lays down certain facts ; heretafore been imposed.known \u2018to be historically correct, on\u2019 which he lays his grounds for claiming the proud title for Art MacMurrough.He says that Richard II.brought armies to Ireland in 1894 and in 1398- 97.MacMurrough took New Ross in 1394, and it was then, with the exception of Dublin,the most important and most strongly fortified town in the country.Roger Mortimer, King Richard's heir, was defeated and killed at the battle of Kenlis, in the Co.Kil- kenny, tm 1398, and John of Lancaster, son of Henry IV., was defeated and wounded at the battle of Kilmainham, near Dublin, in 1405 Art MacMur- rough lived in New Ross until his death, in 1417, holding his title of Xing of Ireland to the last .ce The Dublin Postal Telegraph staff are up in arms against the arrangements which are being made by the Department to bring over a staff of English telegraphists to deal with the: special work in connection with the approaching visit of the King to Ireland.A metting has been held protesting against such action as a slight to Irish telegraphists, who hold that they are quite competent to handle any extra work, if paid for it.All the same there are many people who think it is wise to bring over extra hands as it has before been proved that when the real press of work came on the Irish staff was not able to cope with it, the reason being that while there are plenty of \u2018\u2018good men and true,\u201d there Aare also a number of \u201cineficients\u201d and these are found to break down hopelessly when the crush comes.The dual-working system has bc:n a complete faflure in Ireland.ee ee ee At the Limerick Quarter Sessions last week Judge Adams took a very commonsense view of a case, In which a farmer had the grazing of Angles- borough mountain for sheep, and the sporting tenant sued him for damaging his sport by burning the heather.This is an old cause of strife between farmers interested in the grazing and those interested in the game.It has never been clearly defined where the burning should begin and end, although the time for carrying it on has been definitely set down.The plaintiff held that the work was not skilfully done, whereas the defendant said it was done in the interests of good husbandry, and with a view to improving the grazing for the sheep.Judge Adams, after hearing the evidence, took the latter view, holding that the defendant was bound to respect the game rights within reasonable limits, but on the other hand the land had been let to him as a sheep farm.and he was justified in doing anything to it that was in line with good husbandry, so he dismissed the action.Ll) Toes + A great deal of agitation is at present being made over the decline of flax cultivation in Ireland, and all sorts of projects are being put forward with a view to reviving what was once a most profitable Irish Industry.But the main question is: Is flax growing profitable?It would nap- pear that Ireland is not the only part of the world where farmers are questioning the wisdom of extensively cultivating this crop.A Chic ngricul- tural paper lately had an article headed, \u201cFlax Raising Unprofitable\u201d which runs as follows: \u2018North Western farmers who have been giving a larger acreage to flax are greatly dissatisfied with the returns, as well they may be, for prices have ruled 50 per cent.or more lower than a few years ego.The latest reports from the North-West are that farmers are selling their seed flax and have decided to greatly reduce their flax aére- age next spring.The reduction, itis said, will be fully 75 per cent.This state of things has been very largely brought about by the vast increase in the products of flax In Argentina In recent years, and late estimates of the Argentine flax crép for 1903 centred round 40,000,000 bushels, compared with 20,000,000 fn 1902, 14,000,000 in 1901, and 9,000,000 oe in 1899.\u201d [J ee The Spring Show of the Royal Dub- Tin Soctety, which has been going on this week, has been s most successful one In every way, the weather being favourable, and the show of cattle

that a better lot could not be: seeh at any of the English Shows.His Majesty the King was an exhibitor and carried.off, first honours for a nice heifer In the yearling Shorthorn class, but only got second in- the two- year-old heifer class (Shorthorns).The 8axon invaders were very strong, and carried off a lot of prizes.No fewer than seven of the nine firsts offered for Shorthorns got across the channel.To show how much is thought of the Dublin Spring Show, one prominent English breeder gave 600 guineas for a beast in England and brought him over here to \u201csweep the board,\u201d as it turned out, he had a good deal of \"difficulty to secure a third, so it can be understood the excellence of the competitors.The chief honours in the cattle section went to Scotland, as Mr.Robert Taylor, of Pitiivie Farm, Carnonstic, N.B., not only took in his class, but also secured the Chaloner Plate of-£155 as \u2018best Shorthorn bull in the Show, and.the Leinster Cup of £50 as heading a group of Shorthorn cows and heifers.Mr.Leon, of Betchley Park, Buckingham, England, was the most successful English exhibitor, and Mr.B.F.Barton the most successful Irish exhibitor.The show of Implements and machinery was a magnificent one, the great English and Scotch firms going to immense expense in fitting up stands, etc.showing that Ireland is evidentiy expected to do a great deal agriculturally, under the new Land Act.The Duke of Connaught greatly to the regret of every one, will take his final departure from Dublin on the evening of Suturday, April 80th, after the King and

1780.Another Irishman, Cooney, a native of Clare, was commander of the Spanieh navy, at Ferrol.There is at present in use In the parish Church of Liscannor, Co.Clare, a silver chalice presented to his native parish by this brilliant naval commander, whose name is given as Lord Daniel O'Kuoney, with the date 1752, and he himself was appointed commandant- general of this chief naval centre of Spain.Irishmen have had distinguished careers in continental armies, but it is not generally known that they have distinguished themselves as sailors, too.The Great Southern and Western R{l- way, of Ireland, has made a new departure in striking special rates for the conveyance of new potatoes for distant parts.of the country to Dub- in and Liverpool markets.It is thought that these new rates will encourage farmers to send on their potatoes, and that in a short time a big trade will spring up in this way.The potatoes must be packed In barrels, casks, or hampers, and the charges levied will be much below what has To the Department of Agriculture must be given the credit of having brought about this much-needed reform.Though Ireland gets the name of being a very \u201cdrunken ' country.the

Brings its Tens of Thousands to Cup Matchesin London.SIR CHAS.HIBBERT TUPPER His Address Before the Canada Club on Primrose Day\u2014The Fiscal Discussion.From the Special Correspondent Resident in London London, April 23.\" \u2014 The more one lives in London the more one realises what a wonderful and delightful place it is.Take this morhing as an illustration.It opened heavily so far as the weather is concerned.After a fortnight of bright spring weather such as makes England a land of beauty, we were yesterday deluged with rain until the streeis seemed like tributaries of the Thames, and this morning there seemed only one class of beings who revelled in the weather and those were the thrushes and blackbirds in search of early worms.But coming down to the city from the suburbs one soon realised that dull skies were really no obstacle whatever to a full London life.Alighting at my London station it at once became clear that something was astir.There were unusual groups of young fellows strolling along.most of them well set up, and nearly every one of them wearing some special kind of favour.\u201cPlay up Trotter\u201d seemed the favourite legend upon the breasts of these youths.I had not the remotest notion who the \u2018Trotters\u201d were and how they were to play up,\u201d but walking on towards the heart of the city 1 met bus load after bus load of youths of the same type.They also had thelr legends and each bus load had its special designation, \u201cMr.Musgrove's party,\u201d and so on, It was really time to make inquiries.and 1 soon found that these young fellows had come up in their thousands from all parts of Lancashire and the Midlands and that the special object of their visit was to see the Association Football Cup tie played out at the Crystal Palace this afternoon, between the Manchester City and Bolton clubs, and the Bolton men were the Trotters.\u201d They had for the most part travelled all night, yet here they were under the dull London sky as bright and cheerful as the heart of -+ the greatest optimist could desire, London in truth was full of them.All along the Embankment, that magnificent Thames boulevard with {ta splendid blocks of new buildings on the one side of the Thames and its reminiscences of dear and dirty old Loudon on the other side, was literally crowded with them and when I reached the House of Commons and Westminster Abbey there they were aldo in largo.bevies.A few women were there also and their favours were even more pronounced than those of the men.They were crowding into Westminster Abbey for the morning service \u2014 pretty; good evidence this that these-football fighters of the north.also have their serious side or at ail events their interest in the histdrical aspects of the metropolis of thé Empire.Taken pleasing that even King Sun himself found it irresistible.By eleven o'clock out he came in all his glory and everybody set himself and herself to spend a heppy day.SIR HIBBERT TUPPER.Sir Hibbert Tupper made an excellent impression at this week's gathering of.the Canada Club.It was an ordin- .ary meeting of the club, graced as usual \u2018by \u2018a dinner such as is not to be enjoyed in the fvhole of London outside the Mansion House, except at these monthly meetings of the premier An- glo-Canadian Association.The Hon.J.H.Turner, the venerable looking Agent- Géneral af British Columbia, was in the chair, and among the guests, besides Sir Hibbért Tupper, was the Bishop of Quebeë.Of course, Mr.Turner as a good British Columbian had much to say in his speeches from the chair about the tremendous resources and possibliftien of his Pacific province, and hé pald Sir Hibbert Tupper a pretty.compliment upon his discernment fn: himself taking his talents to the Western end of Canada for.their full empioyment.It was the evening of April 19th, and April 19th as all the world ought by this ti to know, ia Primrose Day.Now, whatever we may tihk of Lord RBeaconsfield\u2019's services to the British Empire the primrose is bevond nll doubt a beautiful flower.id not Wordsworth long ago sing its praises?And even if we do not love the memory of Lord Beaconsfield, and even though we may have grave doubts whether he cared a cent about the primrose, except as a seasoning for his salads, we can all love the primrose and take April 19th as a convenient day on which to do honour to this king cf spring flowers.The altogether 1t was a pleasant sight, so à Canada Club wes forcibly reminded this day by the fact that Sir Hib Tupper was himæelf

resources of the Dominion.But he wag glad to say that Britishers in all parts of Canada were miug- ing freely, with one common object, with one common aim\u2014the consolidd- tion of British interests throughout the British Empire.With regard to the fact that they were meeting on Primrose Day.he reminded his hearers that so far back as 1879 Disraeli had recognized the great potentialities of the British Empire, and In a speech at Avlesbury he had referred to the wheat growing capabilities of North- West Canada.There were few, he added, who realized the potentialities of the Dominion so far as Canada was concerned.The wheat growing area was enormous, and there was no doubt that the future in store for them would be one of unexampled prosperity.\u2018Ourp, men are of the best breed, 6,000,60) only though we be.Yet they have @ greater trade in thelr hands than any othér 6.000,000 in the history of the world.Though we have in times past suffered from the neglect of the Home Government, we have never faltered in the idea of promoting British interests tn that splendid part of the Nath Am- ericaû Continent.\u201d i * THE FISCAL FIGHT.Of course Sir Hibbert Tupper cou!l4 not be expected to sit down without some reference to the fiscal probletn, about which half England is contcud- fng with the other half.\u201cWe can make all the money we wish and develop our lands,\u201d he sald, policy prevails in the Mother Country.The.keen interest in- Canada Is this.We have no doubt for a moment that under any circumstances the 6,000,000 people of the Dominion will stand or fall with you.Prosperity cannot be kept from us.We must have a large number of settlers in the next few years.' Our chief anxiety is that we should have something to controt-the millions that are to come to us from foreign lands.Sentiment birds us to the Mother Land with the strongest possible ties, but we want something to tell these millions from foreign lands that we have commercial ag well as sentimental advantages.Our hope is that some scheme will be devised by British statesmen that will indvce the outpouring of this country to go to our land, and convince them that in this continent there wilf be greater advantages than in any other land.\u201d This was as far as the ex-Canadlan Minister wa: Inclined to go, though In p.i- vate conversation, and for the matter of that In his conversation with journalists, he does not attempt to hida his strong conviction that Mr.Chamberlain ix the only British statesman \u2018ho has yet gripped the great Imperial problem.Taken altogether, it was ore of the many pleasant and profitable evenings which the Canada Ciub is in the habit of providing.WINDERMERE.\u201c Speculation as to what Charles M.Schwab intends to do with his palatial mansion at Seventy-fourth street and Riverside drive after it is finished is tn- creased by the

dirt and raking the stones into the ruts.The foreman, a bright voluble French- Canadian was perfectly willing to talk.There are stories bound up In these old men, stories of failure and disap- } pointment, of lives shattered by the cruel strokes of adversity: of life-long struggles against relentless fate.a struggle to the bitter end.and, then, at Inst, to give up and admit defeat.These were some of the stories to be found among the little group.One man patiently shovelling away was at one time many years ago a leading 4 merchant of this city: another was a notary, respected and prosperous.To- diy they are doing manual labour for a pittance and glad to get the opportunity.\u201cBut,\u201d 1 sald, \u201cdo these old men work satisfactorily?Can they do enough The foreman smiled.\u201cThey do more than the young men.\u201d he replied.\u201cThey work steadily all the time.They nre slower.of course, but they keep Pight at it, and when the day Is over they have done just as much, If not more, than the younger men who work for half an hour and then slacken up.\u201d \u201cAnd their pay?\u201d \u201cOh, they get enough to live on.and I don\u2019t work them too hard, you know,\u201d was the kind reply.\u201cAnd after they are too old to do even this > The foreman shrugged his shoulders.] \u2018Sais pas,\u201d he murmured significant- y.But not all the men working along the docks are old.There are the young and strong the sturdy and quick.In one corner a group of chattering Italians were shovel ling granite, in another a gang of men were doing mysterious things to steel ralls with instruments that looked like gigantic lobsters\u2019 claws, further along men were trying to get rid of the huge plies of ice that had been cast up on the shore when the shove came; all working away with a will, glad to be at it once more after the hibernating season.The ice shovellers were interesting.They were mostly French-Canadians, and went about their work atolidly as though it were the sum total of their ambition to handle piles of the refuse of winter.Most of them were smoking Pipes with evident enjoyment and all of them were working hard.Whether that was due to the long period of winter rest or to the keen eye of the foreman, i$ a matter of individual bellet, THE INEVITABLE LOUNGER.And the loungers, the men who appear to do nothing in life but live, they have taken of thelr summer quarters along the water front.How they exist no one knows.They look weil fad and are génerally sleeping when they are not smoking.Seated on a convenient pile, of ee\u201d & warm corner they drearn the hours away or pass learned remarks on the work of others.How they live is a Matter of conjecture.The wharves ave to them no happy hunting ground where they can sleep without tindue Interference from the guar- étans of law and order.\u2019 And so the port of Montreal Is a har business.The hodr of her a apont pation from the chains of winter je come.The familiar

leagues just at present.+ A team ain't a teain and can't fittingly represent a great city unless 1ls manager ls à crack pitcher, or a lively shortstop, or a heavy hitting out- flelder.It's dangerous practice.All baseball history goes to show that the less responsibility a man has in a ball game the better he can play.But if he\u2019s thinking of catching wraims at the , end of the game, or wondering whether hls best pitcher is drunk or | sober, then he ain't worth shucks- as a player, I meun.He may be conserving his employer's interests in looking out for the buozy pitcher, but what does it profit a manager to keep a twirler straight for Thursday's game if he loses Wednesday's himself just through thinking about it ?\u201clf the baseball magnates of the present had the experience I have had with that bifurcated manager-player system they'd never sign a man as manager who wanted to play, or a man as player who had the managerial bug.The places should be separated and distinct,

pliching arm, a fine tine of interesting storics about bali games he had played and won, and a consuming desire to be a manager.Mere vap- tain didn't suit ; he had to be the coin- plete boss.As a player he was very good, and of the earnest, never-say-diè kind.He got the good will of the management for this, and finally.after a season or two, he got his wish and was was manager-captain of the Alfalfas, with full control of the players.But \u2014 \u201c Back to the bench,\u201d yelled Riley.then, when he seemed on the very pinnacle of fame.he found his troubles had only just begun, for all the players except me and Pete Brown and Pinch Hobbs, banded together against him.They were jealous.They threw him ed that his promotion had given h big head.Maybe it had.1 won't deny that.But it was his quick temper that led him into the extraordinary proceed- down every chance they got, and Sqm a \u201cWe were to, meet the Cloverdales, who had been carrying everything he- fore \u2018em, in the first series of the sen- son, and Riley picked himself out to pitch.That, of course, made Reggie Yan Rensselaer and Lamp Hymes and Dan Delaney sore, and they went up in the grand stand in citizen's clothes and \u201cWell, T could see that Riley was nervous and irritable at the start, and squalls came quick.The Tirst Clover- dale batter sent a sizzling grounder to Jim Harrison, at third.\u201d Jim generally \u201cet\u201d those Rind, but he somehow feli 1 down on this, and fumbled it.and then couldn't plck !t up.and finally ended by tossing.the ball to tiley without even trying for his man

and I made up my mind to save my breath.On the next ball pitched the fellow that had got first on Jim's error started for second.and Johnny Harrison took my throw.I got it down hard and he made a

\u201cHennessy gave him some sass about gettin\u2019 no credit for a hard effort, but finally Joined Johnny and Jimmy on the bench.\u201cThe next batter popped up & high fly right over Pinch Hobbs's head at short.Pinch steadicd for it.and just then there was a yell and a crash and He fell down with eyes roliing.Riley Pike had bunked into him.The ball went spinnin\u2019 over Into right field and three men were perched on the bases, nobody out and Pinch was stag- gerin* around with his hands to his head wonderin\u2019 what had hit him.* \u2018For the love of Gosh, Hobbs,\u2019 says Riley, \u2018don't you Know enough not to interfere when I'm after a ball 7\u2019 \u201cThat was nonsense, for the ball was Pinch\u2019s, all right.Bul Pinch went tu the bench, bein\u2019 too dizzy to stand.\u201cWell, that left Pete Brown on first as the only infielder.Sam Merritt and B!llings had spread out to cover three fields, but as Pete Brown is, he couldn't stretch from first to third and cover short\u2019 besides.\u201cRiley put in three fast drops on the fourth man up aud sent him to the bench.He struck out the next man in three more balls and got a great hand.The audience recognized that, Riley was attempting an unusual feat and was helping him on.- The third man drove out a fiy to Billings.He dropped it, two runs came in, and Bil- ings went out the game.That left only myself, one outfielder, one infielder, and Riley.The next man popped up a foul to me and we came in to bat.! \u201cThe hammers were swinging lustily on the beuch, but Riley never looked that way.He went to bat and pounded out a single.Merritt struck out, but Brownie clouted a double and 1 tore off a shrieking drive that got away from their left flelder and I went all the way around.Three runs and the lead.Not so bad for four men.\u201cThat was all we got, for Riley died out and Merritt struck out a second time.For this he got a rall-down from Riley.and when he talked back he went out the game, too, leaving Brownie on first.the only man eutside the battery.\u201cBy this time everybody was speechless with wonder.Riley sailed up a ball that the first batter tipped into \u20ac high foul back \u2018of first base.Ordinarily it was a sure out, but just as Pete clutched the ball ha collided with the Cloverdale coacher and made an excusable muff.The batter got first, and seein' second and third unguarded, went right around.It made Riley purple with rage.\u2018What, you throwin\u2019 me down, \u2014 Riley Pike went to the bug-ward.wards Pete, his voice shakin passion.\u2018l'A never

constitute the trimming of so many cf the newest French frocks.are also depended upon to give a new touch of charm to the parasol of fashion.There » gowns, lace parasols to carry with lace ¢ frocks.and parasols specially hand- t embroidered and hand-painted to ex- f actly match particular gowns.! This fad for matching the parasol and the gown is not only shown in the ! nore elaborate frocks and sunshades, È but in the linen gowns for morning : Wear and the coaching coats.To carry when & linen gown is Worn, \u2018in the same shade as the dress, and trimmed with a cut-out pattern in em- \u2018broidery.The coaching parasols are made to match In colour either the coat or its trimming;\u2018and thé newest have a finel \u2018for the top of the handle, or the handle 1s capped with a crystal ball, which, with th een ] e seats occupied by gaily attired little people.Pompadour roses and Pom adour coi- \u2018ours are to be all the vogue this oo mer.And, of course, there are para- .sols to harmonize with the flower-fleck- ed organdies and floral silk gauzen.Fascinatingly picturesque is a parasol which owes its artistic touch to a hand- painted design of Pompadour roses, \u2018and is made of a delicate shade of gray ilk with deep ruffles of chiffon In the same silvery gray tint.The ruffles are trimmed with little old-fashioned ruch- ings in the faintest poesible shade of Tose-petal pink.Over the silk portion of the parasol trails a hand-painted \u2018design of pink Pompadour roses and green leaves.To make the parasol throw a becoming light on the face \u2018R is lined with rose-petal pink chiffon.When the Summer Girl sets out to Sharm she will hold above her head a Parasol like this one.She must be \u2018careful, of course, that her gown and fer hat are in harmony with her sun- \u2018shade.A delicate gray gown of chiffon cloth, or.what is less expensive, sole- laine in the same pale colour, would be effective to wear when carrying a par- DOO HOHE HO MOOD Of or OY THE LATEST FOREIGN FASHIONS.Some Charming Dress Accessories to Be Worn by the Summer Girl.1 A Oe vy\u2019 : HOO AOI TOHY of lace.These circles are often finished with an embroidered edge, dome- times in white and sometimes in coi- ours.A forget-me-not 4 e silk parasol will have, for exa an entre- deux of lace, upon which black velvet circles are mounted, the circles framed in wreaths of embroidered forget-me- nots.Clusters of conventionalized peonies in shades of pink and white are uged to form the decoration of an exquisite almond green silk sunshade.The design 1s hand-painted and the parasol is a work of art.The tucked parasols and the parasols trimmed with little ruchings are much the mode this spring for every day wear.The girl with an economical turn of mind can purchase a plain shade and deck it with tiny ruchings, thereby saving a good deal.These parasols are fashionable in grass green, onfon brown, navy blue and champagne, and many of them are made waterproof, which is certainly an achievement.In studying the fashions for summer days, it is noticeable how many of the modes of long ago are returning.It is at least half a century since the fash- favour on the lace coat.To-day it is one of the smart modes of the moment.It is made for certain occasions of black Chantilly over .nangeable taffeta, and then again, it is of the heavier laces like Irish crochet, Henalssance and Plauen.When made of these coarser laces it is the best style in white.A white Irish crochet coat is êrceed- ingly smart in style made with a deep collar of white linen, trimmed with lace sleeve made with turn-back cuffs of the linen and also finished with fluffy lace-trimmed undersleeves.A coat of this style should be worn with a linen skirt trimmed with lace Insets.It would also look well with a skirt of white mohair, with the soft, silky finish.But then, the cuffs and collar of the coat should have white silk substituted for the linen.It is quite the smart fad of the day when wearing a lace coat to have the hat made to match.With the Irish crochet lace coat a white picture hat is good style with the flaring brim faced with the coarse lace, and an ostrich feather caught through the brim and drooping over the hair at the left side.If the wearer feela that a touch of colour will make the hat more distinctive it may have the crown a mass of green leaves or formed entirely of pansies, forget-me-nots, or blue hyacinth bloa- soms.One of the newest frocks of the day for summertime wear is of soft, silky soielaine in a becoming tint of ivory white.A feature of the gown ls its exquisite trimming, which consists of heavy lace designs in fawn color with the smaller pattern of the design worked in faint green and pale pink silk threads.The skirt is one of the very newest models; in fact, a study of it will reveal to any woman all that is newest about the summer skirts, It shows the vogue for horizontal trimmings.It introduces a group of fine corded shirrings, in the form af a yoke, and it shows at a glance how perfectly fitted over the hips is the new full skirt.The fine cordings of the shirred yoke do not wrinkle and get out of place, for they are all stiffened just a trifle with featherbone.At the knees a puffing of the material is shown which is outlined effectively with the lace and silk embroidered trimming.The lower part of the skirt is in the -asol of this sort.The skirt is finely à Yleated, and is extreme full at the bot- Cd \u2018tom.The blouse buttons up the back with small buttons which look just like little pink roses.The sleeves are pleated and are full and flowing to the el, bow, while the 10Wer part of the sleeve is in the form of a mitaine cuff.Below the yoke in front there is a \u2018blouse, and the waist 1s finished with \u2018a high girdle of rose-petal loulsine silk made over one of the convenient girdle \u2018frames which are constructed of tapes, \u2018and made firm by pleces of feather- \u2018bone.The touch of black to which so many gowns owe their distinction \u2018is introduced charmingly and In many waried ways in the new parasols.The \u201cpale-tinted silk parasol scattered with \u2018graduated black velvet dots is very new and very smart in atyle, particu- liarly If its effect is softened with ruf- files of tucked chiffon.Another idea Is to introduce the touch \u2018s¢ black In a border of black velvet sircles, which are mounted on a band form of three flounces, each flounce deeper in the back than the front.They are finished with cluster of narrow folds.The skirt is exceptionally long, but it 1s protected by a velveteen binding in which exactly matches the solelaine ia-color.mn Since the Summer Girl of 1904 will -either wear her skirt extremely short or extremely long, the question of her footwear is of the greatest possible importance.Her shoes will be particularly conspicuous when she is wearing her short walking skirt, and they will be in evidence almost as much when she is gowned in a trailing frock.for 80 long is the fashionable dress skirt all the way round that to walk in it gracefully it must always be kept up.With her walking costume she wears either a black japanned or patent celt shoe, made with a Cuban heel, and a good, sensible sole.With her more elaborate gowns she makes a point of having her shoes and stockings, if possible, reflect the color of her frock.HOFF IHC FHO HOO FO NHC HHO HHH OHHH 1 ) DEH HOH HDD IH FOG) lerviette should have been left unfolded.018) It 18 no longer customary.{1 M.J.P~The bridesmaid may wear Mther a cloth costume or a gown of tghter material.The former is more ap- Bropriate when the bride wears her Araveiling dress.fi H Robert.\u2014The best man attends the room at the.wedding, hands the clergy- nan his , sees that rallway ticketa are secured, dttends to the checking of bagage, a generally makes himself use- ul.2.Send a piece of cut glass or silver or a wadding xift.p 3.The, gtoom sends flowers the bride an briuesma che y;

His heart-rending grief and helpless rage are very convincing and the curtain falls on a melancholy house.It almost seems as though the play should have ended here, but to satisfy the public demand for a happy ending another act is added.In this we discover Binks, who has managed to get to the war after all.covered with wounds and glory, and reconciled to a life of old bachelordom; and the fair lady happy with her gallaht Colonel, all misunderstanding having been explained.An inartistic and unnecessary detall is introduced by dragging in a Royal Duke, presumably Connaught, who pins the Victoria Cross on Binks\u2019 bosom and presents a young titled person, who has enlisted in the Yeomanry and who furnishes the comedy of the plece, with bis commission.Such is the outline of the play with which John Drew has been entertaining our cousins across the ling this season.As for Drew himself, he is a model officer.To revert to the subject of our opening sentence, he is extraordinarily well turned out.It is obviously impossible that he could have got into his trousers without the aid of a shoe-horn, which is what they used to say of a smart officer in Quebec In the good old days.His shoulders are so miraculously broad that it is difficult not\u2019 to suspect uphoistering, and his walst {8 so entrancingly small that half the women in the audience turn green with envy and the other half contemptuously sniff \u201ccorsets.\u201d His head is such a shining dome that we feel sure a hair-dresser lurks behinds the scenes, and his moustache has precisely the correct military twirl.Dear John Drew! Long may he charm us With his inocuous plays and his astounding personality.Julie Opp and Ethel Barrymore.Another actor who rivals John Drew in popular favour is William Faver- sham.He.too.is playing in an intensely English play\u2014not miiltary, but smart and horsey\u2014\u201cLord and Lady Algy.\u201d wherein he makes a delightful \u201cgcion of the aristocracy.\u201d as the phrase is.He is a young man with a whim- | sical face, a merry eye, a mouth quivering with humour and good nature, and a perfectly natural manner.His wife, known as Julle Opp, shares the honours of the play with him.She is without doubt one of the most attractive women on the stage to-day.She is unique; not pretty, but super y.handsome: very tall, six feet, they say, but it seems Incredible; grace incar-\u2019 nate; and the figure of a Juno.Het voice and her features are equally clear cut and distinctive.Her heavy bro hair is parted in the middle -and colled low in the back.= She looks to the life the character she portrays, a well-bred, horsey Englishwoman.In the important matter of make-up she sets a praiseworthy example to ninety pex cent.of the actresses, who flaunt their paint and powder in the eyes of a long suffering public.It is to be presumed that she owes something to art, but it.is not obvious even to the front rews.She looks absolutely clean, an ahnor- mality on the stage where youhg women seem to think it necessary to bedaub themselves with all the colours of the rainbow.In the first act, Miss Opp appears in a most becoming costume of pale rose colour linen.The skirt is pleated and stitched to about half its length, from which it falls in graceful folds.The bodice is perfectly simple; a little full in the front, with a collar widening over the shoulders and with stole ends.This collar ts joined in front with a band of the same lace above which rises Miss Opp\u2019's beautiful throat, absolutely unadorned.With none of her costumes did she wear a collar, wisely realizing that when one has a neck like a marble column it is better to leave it uncovered.With fhis dress she carried a fluffy white parasol and wore a hat entirely composed of white lilacs, with a large pink rose at one side of the front.The tout ensemble wag excellent and just the sort of thing one could copy in every detall for a summer costume.* Another actress who wears pretty and unexaggerated clothes 1s Ethel Barrymore.She, too, oddly enough, is to bé seen In a play most pronounc- edly English.In \u201cCousin Kate,\u201d the plot is extremely slight,; in fact, the whole performance is so immature and calls for so little dramatic talent, that only the taking- personality of the young actress rescues \u2018it from being a failure.It is a play which would do exceedingly well for amateur dramatic companies and is strongly recommended to their notice.The dramatis personae comprise a very English widow, and her equally insular daughter.The latter, pretty as a picture in her Peter Robinson blouse and short skirt, 1s very young, very religious, and very namby- pamby.She is engaged to an Irish artist, rich and erratic.Religious differences lead to a broken engagement and Cousin Kate\u2014charmingly played by Miss Barrymore\u2014is sent for to smooth matters out.But she complicates them by falling in love with the artist and he with her.But the ublquitous happy ending is not wanting® A young cler an, who has fallen in love with the daughter, comes to the rescue and everybody is satisfled\u2014the two good young people and Cousin Kate and her artist.In the first act Ethel Barrymore appears in a smart travelling costume of tobacco brown voile.This fs, made with an odd little bolero crossing in the back, and with rows of fringe and applique on the skirt.With it she wears a large picture hat, brown with pink and red roses and leaves.\u2018In the last act she looks extremely pretty in a high-necked evening frock.It is of some soft, lustreless material; the skirt sun pleated and very long.The bodice i8 also pleated and falls over a deep girdle, all around.Like Julle Opp's gowns it has no collar, but is embellished with a little lace.The only bit of colour about it is the girdle which is of palest blue silk, and, contrary to the usual custom, is deeper in the front than the back, where it closes with a neat bow without ends,\u2019 This is a remarkably pretty and youthful style of frock and would be delightful on a tall and slight girl, either in some shade of the many ° whites so much worn, or in pale grey ot brown.5 = The United States stats i two-thirds of a school your moule Le saved to American boys-and girls by putting the metric systém in place of the other twelve or thirteen systems.Carry the enormous saving of time into the counting-houses of the country, into all kinds of calculations, from the farm to the factory, and n * good idea fi Did you move this year?.And, if 80, are you settled, or is your future home still a scene of chaos in which it Is Impossible to distinguish a brèsh and comb from a case of china, owing to thelr multitudinous coverings, and somewhat erratic packing?Are your carpets stretched smoothly where they belong?Is the furniture at just the correctly fashionable angle, and are the pictures hung to your own taste, even if not to that of an art connoisseur?Or are you sharing the lot of the large majority of housewives at this season of the year, and possessing your soul in what patience you can, until the workmen make their appearance, and finally achieve the neces renovation promised by .the landiord ,Just now there is more than one woman trying vainly to keep her temper while she sits among the boxed up belongings that are to make her home a thing of joy when once nimble fingers have given the walls shining new faces, turned the finger-marked woodwork into a thing of beauty, and put the very/ useful gasalier \u2018in its intended place._Indignatioh never yet hastened the niovements of the men who work these household wonders around May first, at least, not in individual cases.The only way to cope successfully with the situation is to cultivate contentment and a small appetite, and learn to play at camping out.Frocrastination seems the keynote of the annual flitting.The people oc- ying the house we intend to make our home, at the last moment develop a sudden affection for the abode they are leaving, and cling to it until the time limit the law allows.\u2018They move about among their bags and boxes and pretend they are dreadfully sorry they cannot get out when they promised, but as likely as not they are merely refusing to budge until their new quarters are swept and garnished and quite ready for occupancy.There is little doubt that people are seldom as selfish as at moving time, when their sole regard 18 for themselves, without a thought of those who are to come after.Beguiling our minds with the philosophic reflection that \u201cthey also serve who only wait\u201d we who are ready to move, but cannot, sit dejected among FROM A FEMININE STANDPOINT.¢ The New House and the Old Home at This Time of Year.our much packed Lares and Penates, and wonder what on earth ever induced us to undertake the unnecessary hegira.Incidentally we register something stronger than a pramise that never again shall we be driven to move, unless by fire.Even the fact that everything is wrong with the house we are leaving makes no difference.The knowledge that the drains are out of order, the roof leaking, and the land- ; lord adamant when repairs are mentioned, only seems to endear the place to us, and with all its faults we love It more at the moment of departure than ever before.The actual moving of the furniture is one long martyrdom, provided one is foolish enough to watch the corners being knocked off the furniture.Tramp, tramp, up and down the staircases, the moving-men go, dropping burdens until we are heart sick.If they bump the walls it is sure to be In the new abode, and not in the old one, that the wall paper chips off, and the paint gets scratched.At last, it ls over, and our goods and chattels are once more stored under the same roof.At last, with a mingling of joy and misery we realize that we are once more come into our own.In the cold light of possession it is wonderful how low the new cell- ings seem, how small the rooms appear, and how shabby the paint has grown since we surveyed the house filled to overflowing with our predecessor's daintily arranged belongings.Pos- gession may be nine points of the law, but its nine times nine points of dis- fllusionment under the moving circumstances.It will be the first of June, at least, before the majority of the newly occupied houses take on a semblance of home, and in the Interim there will be more bad temper, disappointment, and worry than will be found in the next eleven months; in fact, until it is moving time again, and it is once more our lot to discover that the old furniture doesn't harmonize with the new wallpaper: that the portieres are too short for their new positions, and that we generally did worse rather than better in adding ourselves to the list of movers.C.C.M.cr + FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE.+ + + HEHE Advice.There was once a pretty chicken;

above all that I had had my final disappointment.For love, my dear, is one exquisite disappointment from first to finish\u2014for the woman, I mean.Men are rarely psyclological enough for the disappointments that grind the heart of woman until it is callous.When they are they are not able to hurt us, so may be left out of the question.The thoroughly masculine man is in the very completeness of his equipment biind to all that 1h most subtle and feminine in woman, giving her; therefore, twenty strokes of tarment to one of happiness, or even pleasure.\u2019 What is the result ?We live, the most irresistible of us, three-fourth\u2014five-elghths\u2014of our lives alone, striving to find in imagination what man will never give us.Life, with women who are not small pieces of pulp in the domestic mill, is one long chase after happiness\u2014what Is there for most of us but happiness, poll- tics, and charities ?Epigrams from Rulers of Kings.The fact remains that man is eternally unsatisfactory and woman eternally unsatisfied.I will stake my life that a woman is happy only when she is not in love.There is no such thing as sympathy between the soul of & man and woman \u2014 Strerigth is created by adversity, by trying to win first the small battles of life, then the great, by casting out fear.by training the mind to rule in all \u201cthings\u2014the heart, the passions, the impulses, which if indulged make the brain the slave instead of the master.- Fallure is worse than death.Man's internal strength is created by watching circumstance like a hawk, meeting her every spring stiff and straight, laughing at her pitfalls\u2014which in the beginning of life are excess, excess, and always excess, and all manner of dishonour.A Pariah of the Sky Line ere is a deal of coyote hunting in a West that is not attended by the niceties of the club hunt.Ever since the first pioneers pushed their way across the great plains the coyote has been an outlaw, looking for mo mercy at the hand of man.His predatory habits have made the animal the bane of the ranchman, and his how! has made him the exasperation of the camper and the terror of the tenderfoot.Then.too, his habit of skulking just within rifie range has always made Lun § tantalizing target for the man wi e e In spite of his unpopularity with all classes of men, however, the coyote has managed to hold his own better than any other animal in the great West.The antelope is swifter of foot, mayhap, but.not having the cunning of the coyote, has been lured within rifle range until practically exterminated In many Statée.The ranchman\u2019s Just for fresh meat, the Eastetn tourist's desire for antlers and elk teeth, and the native who slays for the market, have depopulated Colorado and séveral other States of their best garile.The bear, cougar and bobcat have felt the same blighting influence, but the coyote still Aig- ures in the skyline of the average Western picture.Sometiiries he is unwise enough to eat of poisoned carcasses of cattle, but this is seldom.;Again, he falls a victim to a coyote \u201cdrive,\u201d organized by ranchmen and participated In by townspeople, tenderfeet, newspaper correspondents and amateur photographers.These coyote \u2018\u201cdrives\u2019 \u2018are held annually, or oftener, In n y all Western coma munities wher\u20ac the prairie pest flour- {shes.An average \u201cdrive,\u201d participated in by sevreal hundred individuals, ty coyotes and sometimes none at all.A godd eal depends on the wind, and Mmore depends on the ote\u2019s cun- EE ning and abllity ta sorint.\u2014May Out- will yield sometimes as high as twen- |.Help Your \u2018Boys and Girls.Make Them Strong and Healthy This Month.When you find your dear ones weak, nervous, sickly, irritable or despondent;

j THE NEW BY-LAW CONCERNING CIVIC VITAL STATISTICS.Medical Health Ofticer Points Out the Advantages of the New System.Considerable interest is being evinoed at the Health Department of the City Hall in the new by-law, in re gard to physicians and others, reporting without delay all cases of births to the He-lth Department \u201cI think.\u201d said the Medical Health Officer of the city, \u201cthat this new enactment will result in the city being able to get far better census returns of the city of Montreal than the Dominion Government was able to show.\u201cIn the past the city has suffered in a remarkable degree on account of the untrustworthy reports of births that were made.I might explain that in the case of deaths, the Healh Department was naturally promptly notified.But In ti.case of births, the Legislature required that they should de made known, not to civic officlain, but the of- ficlals of the Court House.After the lapse of weeks and months \u2018he Court House officials finally sent the returns to the Civic Health Department; dut the whole proceedings were conducted in such a loose manner that the city, dv sod tt for years vast.has had no accwate knowledge of what the birth rate of the city was.\u201cWhen it is considered that the clty has a very accurate knowledge of the death rate, and prints such statistics, it will be seen at a glance how possible it was for the death rate to aspear out of all proportion to the birth rate.\u201cThe trouble without vital statistics has been that the Health Department has never been in a position to know just what was the birth rate of the city.I think it will be found now that doctors have to report direct to the Health Department, that in the course of a year or so the population of Montreal will be admitted to be much grent- er than what was admitted under the old regime.\u201d J \u201cAnd when will the new by-law fn regard to doctors reporting all births in the city be put into effect?\u201d \u201c1 expect,\u201d sald the Medical Health Officer.\u201cthat it wili be put into effect within the next two or three weeks.I do not anticipate any trouble from doctors and others furnishing, and that promptly.the information the city desires.I consider the whole question of the city's vital statistics one of the most important that the City Council can consider.\u201d A SEASONABLE EXPERIMENT.Do nv with fires In mig ë by using Clark's Pork and Beans, You\" \u2018save money and & head of fussing.Wm.Clark, manufacturer, Montreal.REAL ESTATE SALES SHON FALLING OFF Those .Registered \u201cLast Week Aggregated $236,000.THE BUILDING OUTLOOK Permits for New Work and Repairs in April Reached Half Million Dollars.mére The actual value of the permits for new buildings issued at the City Hall during the month of April was $488,243.Those for repairs and improvements amounted to $62,805, making a total value of building work to be undertaken as soon as satisfactory arrangements can be made between emplqyers and employes, of $501,118, or over haif a million for the month of April alone.The number of the bullding permits issued was 111.Of these, 46 were for houses, representing 141 dwellings.There were also 3 warehouses, 3 fac- taries, a church, an office building and a dozen or s0 sheds and stables.Although less than a week in May hdd elapsed up to Thursday night, the value of the permits issued for new buildings up to that time amounted to $228,025, or somewhat more than half those for the entire month of April.Among these, however, was one buflding for a very large amount, the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, on Peel street, at a valuation of 3125,000.Other smaller buildings were: \u2014 * ¥wo buildings of threes - dwellings each, three storeys high, 46 by 80 feet, on Bleury street, for Mr.F.Casey, value, $9,600.A two storey dwelling, 26 by 53 feet, 8.Barnes;

at other times outbreaks of treasonable discontent had to be organised in different parts of Russia or abroad.Gerschunin plotted and planned everything, and always contrived to find willing agents of his will.During the six years that he spent abroad, the Russian (Government was able to trace about a score of local revolutionary outbreaks among the workmen of Russian towns, four outbreaks among peasants, three risinge in the Quucasian provinces, six political assasinations, a number of student risings in various university towns, and eight unsuccessful attempts at assassination \u2014all to Gerschunin's followers.Besldes this revolutionary activity.he edited a Nihilist organ, wrote mani- testoen, complied records of crimes recorded in history as having been committed by successive Russian Czars, and contributed vigorous criticism of the Russian government's policy to numerous leading journals in several European countries.\u2019 About two years agp, Gerschunin was reproached by his comrades with remaining abroad in safety while his emissaries risked their lives In reallz- ing his schemes in Russia.The reproach stung him to the quick.and as he was the author of many atrocious deeds In Germany, Austria and Italy, and the further keeping of his abode | in those countries was getting very precarious, he immediately went back to Russia to continue his campaign of terrorism right under the nose of Rus- stan officialdom.He continued to be a plotter in the background and to find other men to do the deeds of violegce which he planned.He persuaded an enthusiastic young revolutionist named Balans- choff assassinated the Minister of the Interior, Siplagin, and elaborated all the details of the crime, whith was successfully perpetrated, though Belans- choft was arrested red-han@ed and executed.Qerschunin then arranged the attempts to assassinate Prince Obolen- sky and Governor-General Bogdanv- vitch, but both of these failed Recently, Gerschunin contrived to gain a remarkable and mysterious ascendancy over 8 young artillery officer, Lieutenant Gregorieff, who under his influence, was transformed within a short time from a roysl servant of the Czar Into a red-hot revolutionist.Ger- chunin wanted to have Pobtedonostseft, the Procurator of the Holy Synod, as- passinated, and he induced Lieut.Gre- gorieff to undertake the task, = Gregorieff went to the appointed place with the Intention of murdering the .aged statesman.When, however, he realized how old and feeble his intended victim was he refrained from shoot- i \"&.richunin, wild with fury, sent an anonymous communication to the : u- | thorittes denouncing the young officer.Lieut.Gregorieff was arrested, and compromising papers were found In his possession.Gerschunin's treach>r- ous act, however, led , tô his own downfall.Gregorieff, Litteriy regretting his criminal folly, supplied the police with information which enabled them to lay their hands on Gerschuaii just as he was leaving St.Petèrs- burg in the disguisé of a priest.Gregoriefl's Information also led to three of Gérschunin\u2019s closest confederates being seized; a student named Wezenfed, a workman named Ments- chikoff, and a young woman of good family, Mile.Raemianikof£ The trial rook place in St.Peters- burg and the proceedings were secret.It transpired, however, that Gers-.chunin received his sentence of death calmly without flinching.Lieut.Gregorieff, on the other hand, pleaded that he was Gerschunin's unwilling victim and begged for mercy.When he, too, heard his sentence of death, he threw himself on the ground before the tribunal and besought the judges to intercede for him End allow him to expiate his offence by fighting as a common soldier, in the foremost rank of whichever body of Pussian troops in the Far Kast had the moet dangerous military task to perform.His application was submitted to the Czar, and it is expected that his petition will be granted.The workman Menstchikoff was sen< tenced to death, but it is understood that the capital punishment will be remitted and that he will be rated in the terrible prison of Schlis- selburg till a natural death relieves him from a fate always regarded as worse n execution.The stud ezenfed escaped with a sentence of t vears' imprisonment, and Mile.Raemianikoff received the alightest punishment, one year's ifnprisonment.All the culprits are still young in years.Gerachunin is 35;

THE MOUNTAIN \u201cLOOK-OUT.\u201d The members of the Finance Committee look with no favourable eye upon the proposition to spend adül- tional moneys for the new \u2018\u201cLook-out\u201d on the mountain.The chairman of the Parks and Ferries Committee, Ald.Robillard, appeared and asked for the sum of $3,000 to complete the lookout.\u201d Ald.Robillard contended that the *lookout\u201d could be completed and made a thing of beauty if the extra $3,000 was voted, .In reply, Ald.Carter 2ald he would vote no suoh sum to complete a structure that had no artistic features.The \u201cTookout\u201d on the mountain ought to be built in a way that would be a credit to the city.He was sure the so thing of beauty.It would be waating money to try and complete a structure that was already so much disliked.The present structure should be pulled down and a new, and artistic build ing Put up.1\" was decided to let the matter stand over till the next meeting.TO ENTERTAIN PRESSMEN.Members of the French Press Asso- clation waited upon the committee and asked that the Assoclation be given \u2018the sum of $500 to entertain ch pressmen who would visit the city in June next.The request was referred to the Reception Committee for consideration.ab communication was read from a eputation of the French medical men of North America, saying that a number ot medical men of North America Ould visit Montreal this summer and : guid call upon the Mayor and alder- The visitors will be received by $hé Civic Reception Committee.tv .THE PUMP TROUBLE.Ald, Clearihue, chairman of the Water Committee, submitted a method L- partial settlement of the diMculty t has arisen over the vibration caused by the electric pump at the McTavish street pump house.$ The city has been unable, owing to : restrictions, to operate the electric pump, but all the time it has been paying $20 a day for current.The account bas now reached the amount of 000.\"Ald.Clearihue drew the attention of the committee to the fact that until the pump is running again the co y agrees to accept 10 per cent.on ftwæ- cost of installation.Ald.Cleari- hus said this would be shout $2 a instead of $20.\u2018Ald.Carter said at present, and ti ich time -as final responsibility were Placed for the cause of the vibration nuisance, it was clearly the duty of the city to keep the damages down ; as possible.\u2019nis settlement was accepted.< HOSPITAÉ .AMGULANCES.There tv a prospect of the city în- éasing \u201cfté \u2018contributions in aid of dou hospitals.No less than three æpplicätions for assistance from this Quarter were submitted.One of these was from the Hotel Dieu.which de sirés à contsibiifide fuward the main tainence of an ambülance.Ald.Bade der said that at present the oity voted $500 annually to the General and Notre Dame Hospitals.And it other hospitals wers tobe put -upon the list, he suggested to Include \u2018the Western, an {institution that was doing much £004.All the requests mentioned were laid on the table : In reply to a question by Ald.L.A.Lapointe, as to the reason of the non- collection of taxes from a few large firms in the city.City Treasurer Robb sald that the cases in question were in dispute and had been hunded to the city attorneys for settlement.The sum of 3312000, us the city's share of strect expropriations wns Voted as follows: St.Lambert Hill, $89,- 000;

was described by Mr.Pelletier as an informer, and he regretted exceedingly that such an individual could be found among the aldermen of Montreal.As for the charge made by Mr.Prevost, it had all ended in smoke.Having falled to.prove the allegations of his solemn declaration, he ought to know what to do.Mr.Prevost affected not to understand what Mr.Pelletier sald.The latter said that he had spoken plainly enough for an intelligent man to understand, and that Mr.Prevost should know that in failing to prove the truth of the charges formulated by him on the faith of his position as a member of the House, he ought to lose his seat.He sald the incident had provoked in the press, especially in \u201cone newspaper, charges against\u2019 members of thee Legislature very much more serious than those attributed to Ald.Val- lieres.Yet nobody had brought\u201d the proprietor of that paper to the bar of the House.MR.PREVOST'S DEFENCB.Mr.Prevost defended himself very vigorously against the telllif assault of Mr.Pelletier, declaring that the conduct of this latter and the attacks of his paper, L'Evenement, were mainly responsible for all the false and disrespectful things which had been charged of late against the Legislature.He sought to make it appear that in at- ] tacking the policy of the Governmeit, { the member for Dorchester was insulting the Legislature arid all its members and was, therefore, engaged in an anti- patriotic work.He bitterly complained of the uncomplimentary things that certain Montreal aldermen were constantly saying against members of the Legislature, claiming that hig only ob- Jects in bringing the matter to the attention of the House were to e some of the outrageous things stantly heard regarding its m to afford an opportunity to their ma- ligners to offer proof of their alleged xpose con- and the dignity of the House.The report was adopted and.the incident closed.- NEW BILLS INTRODUCED.The new bills introduced yesterday included one respecting physicians and surgeons by Mr.Pelletier,;

Does the Prime Minister not know.that if the freight comes-to this end of Lake Huron and is there delivered Into tratns\u2014 not of the Grand Trunk Pacific, but of the Grand Trunk Railway\u2014that there is every probability that it will continue -te go to Portland as it has gone in the past.If the right hou.gentleman is in a position to show to the people of this country that his bill contains any clause binding the Grand Trunk Railway to carry the waterborne freight that they receive at this end of Lake Hurou to Canadian ports, he could have very profitably spent some time to-night in pointing out to us that clause of the contract.But the Prime Minister has not seen fit to do that.He hus simply closed the discussion on this bit in the same manner in which he opened it, with an appeal to the sentiment of the people of Canada.THE SCHEME BROKE DOWN.We are here to-day engaged in discussing a bill which we spent months discussing last year, and why are we discussing it again?The scheme is here before us now.because it broke down: it is here, because when it was set up and had to stand by its own strength it proved to be a weakling and = failure: The ri with his majority in this House, cun vote it through: he can vote anything through; but when it passed out on the stage and the sustaining hand of the right.hon.gentleman's majority was taken from it it collapsed.What guarantee have we that it will not collapse again to-morrow.There is not much more to be given to it; there is not much more which the right hon.gentleman can do for it.I want to call the attention of the House to the fact that the views of the Grand Trunk directers expressed before their shareholders are in direct variance to the views presented to this House by the right hon.gentleman and his supporters.And in this divergence of opinion there is great probability that the scheme will collapse again.If it becomes known to the Grand Trunk shareholders and to the finan- clers who are to supply money for the scheme, that their scheme for equipping that road with $20.000,000, of rolling stock, as they present it, cannot be ed out because the Prime Minister \u2018ve Canada and his supporters-have de- A that it shall not be done: if that N omes known It seems to me that EN me \"carry it forward to completion.va PC TE TT ame de con rene : the Government is not : the company to provi qt scheme is likely once more to ive thai its own strength never can We have in the original contract provision for $20,000,000 worth of rolling stock: $5,000,000 of which is to go \u2018on the eastern portion of the road, But what have we to-day in this supplemental contract?We have a provision for $20,000,000 worth of rolling stock, less 35,000,000: less that precise quantity which was to go to the eastern division of the road.So far as that $5,000,000 worth of rolling stock for the eastern division is concerned, the argument has been modified, and Pong to require a rolling stock for the whole system.but only for three-fourths of it.All these things go to show that what we are going to have is precisely - that scheme which the right hon.gen- tleman has asserted most positively today, will disappoint the hopes of Can- ade\u2014a line built for the Grand Trunk on the prairies and terminating at North Bay: a line which the right hon.ntleman has said will preclude any pd of establishing an all Canadian line, terminating at Canadian ports, and over which Canadian traffic is to be carried.A BUSINESS PROPOSAL.My right hon.friend should remember.that this is 2 business proposal.It fe all very well for him to go through the country shouting Canada for aver! an all-Canadian line! Cans- da Yu going to have so many millions ef ple on the prairies! We know all t; but is that any reason why we bbould' spend $150,000.000 to build a line of railway where it should not go, tiré àa to which he has not produced & single bit of evidence to-day that we bed not last year to show the ehar- EE SAC EE BELLS TK [5 ght hon.-gentleman | gly definite proposal made, not only by the satisfactery to mernbere of House to have some evidence.this Lest Year he promised to give us mountains of information, and be did the best he could in t On this ocos- sion, he laughed at those mountains of information himself; it was the only thing ke opuld do.Last year I took the opportunity to place on Hansard a list of the mountains of information which the right hon.géntiema: had laid on the table.That {nfarmation was contained in eleven or twelve volumes, which dated from 1565 or earlier.I'rom ali the years since then.he had not aided even one mojehill of Information to these mountains.But this year hé has introduced another plece of evidence, more than thirty-five years old; and if we are to revere authorities according to their age, this is most important and valuable, and ought to be Jooked upon as the most respectat: and authoritative evidence with reapect to the character of the country through which this raflway ta to be built that has ever been presented to any Parliament, apart from the somewhat sacred character which it assumes from having been taken from one of the relations of the Jesuit Fathers.It is 240 years old.This veneruble evidence reminds ne of n story of x gentleman who hud a guest to whom he offered a bottle of wine.He said: \u201cThis is very good wile; iL {8 (wenty-five years old.\u201d The friend.who had a good apprecin- tion of wine, looked at it aud suid.\u201cWell, it strikes me that it is very small for its age.\u201d The fact is that if this is the best information the right -hon.gentleman can glve us, he leaves the case just in the position tn which he found It.There may be à country there through which a rallway can be bulit, or tuere may not: and here are 214 representatives of the people of this country invited, on two separate occasions, ul two \u2018different xessione of the House of Commons, to deliberate on a project for spending $159.000,000 of the money of Canada for the purpose of building a railway over a country which the right.hon.gentleman has not taken the trouble to have surveved.s It is evident that this Government is carried on by faith: and if their works: should prove tae be equal to thelr faith.perhaps they may We able to build a rall- way some time.If not, we must come to the conclusion that their faith is net much better than their works.There was & Very deünite proposition made by the hou, leader of the Opposition, and he gave his reason for It: and 80 far as the Maritime Provinces are concerned, it was a very good reason.He said: If you are golug to derive any advantage from the possiblity of receiving more cargoes from the west, the scheme of the leader of the Government, ff it should ever descend from the clouds.may give it to you in eight or nine years.Eight years ia the time he hus fixed for the construction of the western section of the line.on which there will probably be some progress made.But the hon.leader of the Opposition is fn a position to sav: I will give you that advantage to-morrow.I will buy the Canada Atlantic Railway.\u2018and as soon as vessels hegin to go into Depot Harbour fu April or May this year, the city af 8t.John and the city of Halifax will be placed In direct communication over one line of railway with the ports to which cargoes are brought by those vessels.A DEFINITE ALTERNATIVE.But there was another exceedingly hon.leader of the Opposition, but by several others on this side of the House.That was this: Ir the Government ts going to spend $150.000,000 on the raîl- way as its contribution to the partnership Into which it has entered.while the Grand Trunk Rallway Compañy, the other member of the partnership, is going to contribute only $14.500.000, why should not the Government spend the whole $165,000.000 and own the road?The right hon.gentleman could not have -forgotten\u2014that proposak It formed a very important part of: the speech of the hon.leader of the Oppo- sitton: yet the right hon.gentleman saw fit.1 think very prudently.from his point of view.to ignore it and pass ft over altogether.But the people of this country will expect him to give an answer to that question.Why should the Government contribute nine-tenths of the cost of this road and leave it in the hands of the Grand Trunk Railway Company.who are practically independent of the Government for all time to come-\u2014who cannot be interfered with for a period of fourteen and a half years, eveh though they do not pay a dollar of interest in that time?They get seven years' interest for nothing.three vears in which the default is to be added to the capital, and four and a half years further in which the Government will not be warranted by sny further de 1h -taking possession of the road.Why did not the right hon.gentleman give a little attention to that proposal® Why does he think that the Grand Trunk Railway, system, can take over this line of railway, 3,400 miles In length, and make sufficient profit to enable it to meet all the \u2018obligations it is incurring, and at the same time come to the conclusion that he himself and his Cabinet are incapable of so managing that pro- to the country for the money invested?Have our people ever failed to re- the Interests of good, broad statesmanlike government and honest and measures ?the conditions of this country to frighten the right hon.gentleman.But there is some monstrous influence whieh induces him to surrender himself and the party he leads into the hands of two or three men who have gained his ear and to gratify whom he has parted with one of the ablest men In his Cabinet.True, he has since then rewarded: his ex-colleague by a very lmportant appointment, but the country looks rather askance on the course taken by the right hon.gentleman.To gratify these mea who have gained his ear, he is willing to see his party disrupted.\u2018Why does he.If he wishes a railway company to bulld a new transcontinental lne, select the Grand Trunk Railway Company of all others to do the work?Of all others, the Grand Trunk Raflway Company is the one which is acter of the route?It would be far the least Interested in Canada, and In addition to managing its present | perty that it will give a good return A spond to

Moncton and we will make you a great transcontinental all-Canadian rafiway line?Why did he not do that?The right hon.gentleman ought to know that he cannot, either by a stroke of the pen or an order-in-counct), force trade to go to any particular port In Canada.He must know that the difference of half a cent in the cost of freight will divert trade from one port to another.Still he made the statement.and apparently made it In earns est, that he will force the Grand Trunk Pacific to carry sll the traffic it brings to North Bay, to the Maritime Pro- Yinces.Does he believe he can do jt?Does he believe that he will force the farmers of the Northwest to bring their grain over a route which wiil compel them to lose from 5 té 10 cents a bushel on it?His own scheme shows that he does not believe it.because by it he gives the shippers of the west the privilege of routing thelr freight which ever way they like, and they wiil route it the cheapest way.The Shipbüllding Trust In the May Pearson's, Mr.Henry George, Jr.gives the following analysis of this notorious Prospectus : \u201cThe Dresser prospectus of June 14, spoke of the United States Shipbuilding Company as being o : whereas It was not Incorporated until three days later.and was not fairly organized until September of that year.\u201cThe capital stock, sald the prospectus, was $20,000,000, whereas jt was nonexistent then; never was $30,000,000; was only $3,000 on June 17, 1903, and on June 24, was iricreased to $45,000,000.\u201cThe prospectus published a list of ten directors.None of these men then were, and six of them Mever became, directors.\u201cThe prospectus declared that the United \u2018States Shipbuilding Company had on hand contracts axceeding $26.- 000.000 In value.The face value of these contracts was 334,097,729.28, and the at that time uncompleted parta of these contracts amounted to less than $90,000,000.\u2018\u2019The prospectus said t\u2018at the combined working capital of the m companies Was more tha.$5,000,000.Re- celvér Smith fowrid that \u201cthe - figures mately $3,279,000; which, however, \u201cwas almost obliterated by subsequent adjustment.\u201d \u201cThe prospectus asserted that the profita on the contracts on hand would be $5,000,000.This, Receiver Smith declared, was \u201cundeniably false,\u201d that the profits on sach contracts would be \u201cabout $1,000,000,\" realizable in upward of three years.\u2018 \u201cThis wonderful combination of misstatements was made, the receiver says, \u201cto mislead and deceive the Investing public.\u201d For a

have long been chertdhed of planting the seeds of an oversea Germany.Settlers sent there by the thousand to colonize cities and farmn- ing districts and to \u201cremain German! are adopting Brazilian citizenship, names and customs 8o extensively that \u2018\u2019Deutschthum\u201d\u2019\u2014the preservation of German identity and ldeals\u2014is undergoing complete disintegration.To appreciate the disappointment these facts contain, the extent of the German col- onjal scheme in Brazil requires mention.EXPECTED MUCH OF COLONY.Accordirg to a recent compilation, Gérmans own more than 12,000 squure miles of territory in southern Brazil, an area larger than Saxony and Alsace- Lorraine combined.About 500,000 Germans, either natives or Brazilian-barn, children of natives, are resident in the republic.In communities where the German element has become most pronounced a sort of German local self- government has been set up, with German as the official language of schools, churches and town councils.\u2019 Until now it has been supposed that the Germanizing process was going ahead steadily and thoroughly.and numerous colonial agitators and pamphleteers have expressed the belief that the way was at last prepared for a realization of the celebrated prediction of Prof.Schmoller, of the University of Berlin, that the world would witness within the next 100 years \u2018the rise of a German nation of 20,000,000 to 30,600.000 souls in south Brazil.\u201d BLASTS EXPANSION HOPES.A communication to the National Zeitung of Berlin from the state of Rio Grande de Sul, the centre of the German movement in Brazil, has blasted the hopes of the South American expansion party.How the Germans there are proceeding to break home ties is described as follows: \u2018\u201cThe motion has long been propagated in Germany that conditions for the maintenance of \u2018Deutschthum\u2019 are more favourable tn South Brazil than in European countries or the United States, This is true in isolated farming sette- ments, but not in the cities where the vast bulk of the German element is concentrated.It is puzzling how little power of resistanéte Germans in Brazil are able to bring to bear against the racial assimilation of the Latin, negro and Indian elements with which they come in contact.The most disturbing feature is that this submission manifests itself not only among the working classes, but in the middle and upper classes.SECOND GENERATION BRAZILIAN.\u201cFrequent intermarriages with Brazilian women have strengthened the preference for the adopted country.The education of the children being left to the mothers, it happens frequently that the German language is not spoken in families with Germ heads.Even in cases where both parents are German or of German extraction their children regard themselves with few exceptions as Brazillans, in accordance with the law which considers every native of the republic a Brazilian citizen.Most German immigrants change their names into Portuguese.Wilhelms have become Guilhermes; Friedrichs calls themselves Fredericos, and the Karls, Carlos.MILITARY TITLES ATTRACT.\u201cThe Brazilian government has, of course, not been blind to such opportunities of increasing the estrangement between these \u2018Germans\u2019 and their fatherland.Seeing the trend of events, it has made still easier the obtaining of Brazilian citizenship by permitting a man, if he wishes, to retain his German citizenship.The government has also understood how to cater to the average German by making workingmen eligible to the officer-staff of the local militia.Many naturalized Germans proceed to acquire officers\u2019 positions notwithstanding that their importance usually is confined to the privilege of tacking \u2018captaln\u2019 or \u2018major\u2019 onto their name.: \u201cMany private schools, conducted by former Germans along typically Rrazil- fan lines, are adding fuel to the Ger- man-killing fire.The German schools on.In

or else hoist Hamburg.Bremen or other local territorial emblems\u2014a performance not calculated to impress elther Brazilians or other nations with \u2018German unity.\u2019 \u201d This recital goes to show that the German emigrant, apparently, whether he settles in Brazil or in the United States, becomes sooner or later an assimilated, loyal citizen of his adopted country.The significant fact 18 that Germany has counted in vain upon trangplanting to Brazil great communities of Germans, willing to remain loyal subjects of Kaiser and empire for whatever purposes the future might make them useful.TO MANUFACTURE COAL FROM PEAT.Special to the Montreal Star.Dublin, May 7\u2014A new Peat Coal industry is being started under the title \"of the Electro Peat Coal (Parent) Company, with a

Alarm.DANGERS OF THE FUTURE If Bussia is Defeated by Japan, Imperialists Will Seek New Fields of Ambition.Special to The Montreal Star.London, May 7.\u2014For the time being high politics in Europe is concerned almost entirely with the East Aslan question.Lord Lansdowne\u2019s ominous words in the House of Lords concerning Macedonia are fundamentally referable to the Russo-Japanese War.His Lordship declared that the Balkan situation warranted the deepest anx- tety, and added that Great Britaln was doing more than any other power to hasten the enforcement of reforms.Diplomatists in Lord Lansdowne\u2019's confidence know that while he earnestly desires changes in Macedonia for humanitarian reasons, he has been moved to assume the practical leadership of the reform movement for political considerations.He understands the deep rooted desire of Russia to dominate the Balkans and looks forward to a Japanese triumph in the Far East and a consequent heavy Russian recoil Lord Lansdowne expects that when peace has been signed and the limits of the Czar\u2019s dominion placed south of the Amur, the Muscovite Imperialists will undertake exploits nearer the base of the national strength.He thinks that the Balkan peninsula will be the scene of the exploitation of these ambitions.and that Europe may be forc ed to face a general war or permit th Russians to occupy Constantinople.The British Foreign Secretaky 1s d termined to do his utmost to promo a solution of the Macedonian questi before Russia is prepared to make that province the ground of an Imperlali adventure.i ANXIETY JUSTIFIED.\\ Sofia, May 7.\u2014 Lord Lansdowne's anxiety about Macedonla is thoroughly, Justified.There is great distress: throughout the disturbed vilayets.The young and strong

Turkish officials are not inspiring confidence.LAPLAND GIRL APPEALS TO KING OSCAR.Special to The Montreal Star.Stockholm, May 7.\u2014E.Laula, a Lapland girl, who has come to Stockholm to plead the cause of the Laplanders with King Oscar, says that formerly when her grandfather herded his 6,000 reindeer on the mountain slopes of Lapland her tribe was lord of all it could survey, and wandered from place to place with the herds, seeking out the best pasturage, but now the new settlers from the South come and squat in the middle of the best pasturing grounds, take up homesteads, and get laws passed to protect them in every possible way, regardless of the rights and necessities of the native Laps.Thus, for instance, the Laps are prohibited from pasturing herds on the lower mountain slopes during the months of June, July and August\u2014just the time when the reindeer are In need of \"the lowland 'pasturage and the mild Jowland temperature.It they are prevented from going to this, their natural summer home, their newly- born calves perish in the cold spring rains and snows of the highlands.Many break loose from the herd In spite of careful watchfulness and bolt for the valleys and then their owner has to pay a fine of 200 kroner ($53) for each roving reindeer.All this makes the richest Laplander destitute in the course of time, and then he and his family have to roam as outcasts among the lowlands, begging their daily bread and with nowhere to lay their heads save on the bare ground under the bare sky.Unique Exhibition at Siena.Special to The Montreal Star.Rome, May

the authorities had to telegraph to Sofia for permission to interfere.The mere intimation that the troops would be ordered to fire among the mob unless it withdrew quietly was enough to restore order;

Cremer, secretary of the International Arbitration League and a member of Parliament for Haggerston, announced at a dinner in his honour that the Nobel peace prize, amounting to $39,150, awarded to him, will be invested at a guaranteed interest of five per cent The proceeds will be used by the International Arbitration League to promote arbitration.Should the league cease to exist.the trustees are empowered to devote the funds for the furtherance of arbitration according to their discretion.The dinner was attended by two hundred persons, incfuding Mr.Andrew Carnegie, the Bishop of Hereford, members of the labour and arbitration groups in Parliament, Lord Monkswell and Lord Kinnaird.Thomas Burt, the radical member of Parliament for Morpeth, who presided, paid a tribute to Mr.Carnegie, who, he sald, was one of the strongest links in the Anglo-American friendship, and who had done much to further the cause of International arbitration.Mr.Cremer gave a history of the Nobel peace prize.He sald it had always been a mystery to him how Alfred Nobel came to donate a large portion of his fortune made in the manufacture of dynamite, to the forwarding of a peace propaganda, bul, believing that Nobel would have preferred that his prize should be appropriated to the personal use of the winners, he had decided to invest his prize with the trustees to help in the work] of the International Arbitration League, Howevet, Mr.Cremer said, he had made it a condition that the income from the amount of the prize must be supplemented by substantial annual contributions from other sources.Mr.Carnegie spoke appreciatively of Mr.Cremer\u2019s work for arbitration.and said he hoped the English-speaking race would set an example to the world by substituting arbitrament by treaty for that of the eword.LONDON SHARPERS \u2018PREY ON CANADIANS.Special Cable from Our London Correspondent.London, May 7.\u2014The opening of the Canadian season is marked by activity of the sharpers

annual conference between the iron moulders and the local foundrymen.The meeting was to have taken place this week: but owing to the absence from the city of several of the foundry- men, the matter had to be postponed for a few days.It Is not thought by the officers of the union that there- will be any difficuity in arriving at an amicable agreement.In the event of tire \u2018local people failing to agree, the matter has to be referred to à committee composed of.the National Associa- a of Foundrymen and representa- TR of the International Union.e officers of the union when seen to-day

clause in our \u2018agreement which calls for a closed shop and consequently we never have any differences along these lines.Our men are concerned in rates of wages and hours of labour.That is all.If a man has the right to belong to a church he has the same right to belong to a labour union or a fraternal society.\u201d The Iron Moulders\u2019 International Union has appointed a label agent for

Le dde ! PTE Bring in the horses.Let the bugle sound, and permit the ringmaster to strut around once more, and to dazzle us with his beautifully shining boats.4 Open the gates, and let the band .play ja the Inaugural parade, for everything is ready to let Montreal's Fifth Annual Horse Show begin.Fifth, and it seems so close to the \u2018frst, that first which was arranged .with so much doubt of its ultimate success that a few men like the directors of the Montreal Arena Company had to take all the responsibility.The principal moneyed men in the city who kept horses worth showing were shy of the proposition then.Now they look upon it as an institution, a regular fixture on their annual programme of amusements.The professional exhibitors look upon It as a sort of an idealized mart for high-class equine wares.and a self-supporting mart at that.for whether they sed or not the prizes gained pay the expenses.And the dressmakers and taitors look upon it as an annual blessing.an occasion not only profitable while it lasts, but worth much money to them in future adver- Ueing.The horses will be quite a feature of the ageasion, as usual, but the in- oressed demand about this time of the year for lorgnettes and lorgnons would go to show that many of the visitors fntend to have a good look at what is beyond the show ring.About the only time when the borse will receive the undivided attention of the spectators, when neither dresses nor faces nor flowers will be capable of robbing it of its just dues, will be on next Saturday morning.It will be children\u2019s day then,and it horses could feel even a portion of those emo- sions which make the life of a human being alike bitter and sweet, there would be a lot of jealousy felt amang the grown-up ones at the fact that the ponies will take up the lion's share of the programme that morning.Everything looks most favourable for the success of the show.The entry Mst is fully as large as on previous yèars, and a great feather in the cap of thé management will be the pres- ente of the Governor-General\u2019s chil- .dren as active exhibitors and partici- | pants.igh RECAL INTEREST \u201c#4 AND SHOW ENTRIES.Horse Show of 1904 will de uniqye.It will possess a cachet never bestowed upon lis predecessors, and quite unknown in the history of Horse Shows in Canada or the United States.The features of the Show are, of course, the entries from the Government House stable, while interest is doubled by the announcement that a large party will be present from Rideau Hall to see the events in which their entries appear.a ones from every other reason, presence His Excellency the Governor-General, would be an tncen.tive to soctety to turn out ia full force, | even if popular interest were not further aroused by the fact that thelr Excellencies\u2019 children had made, entries, and that pretty llitle Lady Tio- Jot.Hlllot would drive her own tandem, white Lord Melgund's pet pony woyd ajsq be shown.Id.the long and varied history of JHogae Shows on this continent, this is ot only, the first time entries have from Government House eus Suit that so deep a personal re been shown In matters Majesty's representa- B Hie Excellency ig a keen sporisman his record as a steeple- well known, and his eross y r rides with the Montreal \u201crent En mn him the admiration of .Keen judge that he orse, Lord Minto's inter- 14 PL iii Ji with the social side of the Show, and he is said to be particularly interested in the success of the class for which he has given a cup.As far as society is concerned, its interest in things equine, and also in what has been flippantly called \u201cthe dress parade,\u201d that forms so important a part of the Show, seems to have Increased rather than diminished.The Show which a few years ago was looked upon doubtfully as an experiment.has triumphantly emerged into an assured annual success, and is patronized by everyone with an interest in horses, or gowns, or both.With many more applications for boxes than can possibly be filled, and taking into consideration the fact that a very large number of out of town visitors are expected for the occasion, it can be safely prophesied that the Show this year wil outdo its predecessors in every respect.\u2018 The enforced absence through Îllness of Lady Minto, will be deeply regretted, particularly as Her Excellency's stay in this country is drawing to a close, but Lady Eileen will accompany Lord Minto tq Montreal, and as at the Toronto Horse Show last week, wiil add greatly to the popularity of the two days on which the vice-regal party is in town.The same box as in other years\u2014the central one on the East side Excellency.Boxes will alse be occu- pled by people from New York, Hamilton, and the South, and the list of subscribers shows almost the same Mont- realers as last year, and moreover the same people having the same boxes, which, through their occupancy fer several seasons have come to be identified with them, and to be almost looked upon as their property.Many people unable to obtain boxes will engage the same seats for each performance of the Show, in this following a custom made popular in New York and Boston, and will gather little parties of friends about them on each occasion.A large number of ladles will ride or drive this year, and on Friday afternoon when the ladies\u2019 saddle and harness horses are shown, and on Saturday afternoon when ladies\u2019 hunters, and ladies\u2019 tandems are among the classes exhibited, there is sure to be a tremendous crowd.But even these performances can hardly vie in popularity with that of Saturday morning, when the future belles of Montreal\u2014at pre- gent in the school girl stage\u2014lose themselves in admiration over the riding and driving of their young friends, and who, on this ocoasion, exhibit more enthusiasm than is to be found at any other time during the Show.The Show this season, as {n other years, will be used as a peg upon which to hang any number of entertainments, and almost without | exception, box holders will entertain their guests at dinner prior to the evening performance, or at supper afterwards.Six, the number each box holds, makes just enough for a jolly little dinner, a fact that will be taken advantage of very largely.The introduction of morning performances\u2014an innovation this year \u2014wil also doubtless be used 48 an excuse for numbers of informal luncheons.Tea will be served each afternoon of the Show, the proceeds, as last yecr, to go to the Society for the Prevention of Crüelty to Animals.The ladies\u2019 committee will be in charge and th attending to the tea room on the various afternoons are: Mrs Charles McEachran and Mrs.Baumgarten on Wednesday; Mrs.Andrew A, Allan, Mrs.Colin Campbell and Miss L.Gil- lesple on Thursday; Mrs.H.V.Meredith, Mrs.G.W.Cook and Mrs.Hart- land B.Macdougall, on Friday; and Mrs.F.L.Hutchinson, Miss Eadle, Miss Bond and \u2018Miss Bralnerd.\u2018 The tea rooms will be situated in the same quarters as last year, with the addition of a large space under 2 promenade.The rooms will be charmingly decorated and a mber of girls will assist the ladies in charge.It seems to be: an assured fect that theh gowns designed for Wear at the Horse Show this, year will surpass those seen on any similar occasion in Montreal.White and very !lght tinted gowns are to be the mode.As there is to be a performance each m j of the Show, costumes during the Ga will vary from the straightest tallér made variety to the fi and eut ie rather more with the horses than CR HATS - lest and daintiest of froghs.ber th i \u2014wil be placed at the disposal of His | pis evening.The new promenade which ex- tenda all the way around the Arena, and does away with the necessity for turning at the north end of the building, will afford a splendid place for the wearers of handsome gowns to see and to be seen.New entrances into the promenade has been placed on each side, near the north end of the building, and these will make the | promenade easy of access to those occupying the reserved seats behind the boxes, and encourage them to make greater use of it than has been the custom in other years.\u2018Dhis innovation, which should prove very welcome, will tend towards giving the sartorial triumphs at the Horse Show every oportunity of being in evidence and will make the rivalry between the King of the Show and the fair onlookers more keen than ever.OUTSIDE EXHIBITS; AT OUR SHOW.The approaching horse show in Montreal will see in the ring many of the best horses from Toronto and neighborhood.It is not likely that private owners will venture thecrallwoy Journey with thelr animals, but the two principal Toronto dealers, Messrs.Geo.Pepper & Co., and Messrs Crow & Murray, will try their fortune with the pick of their stables.Among the .animals the first men- _\u2014 \u2018handsome brown gelding, 153 in him.During the two seasons, this horse has been in the ring he has taken at least fifty firsts for his performances at the hurdles.His retord for jumping is seven feet.Pearl, the very ideal of a hunter, will also be In evidence, she is a bay in colour and stands 16 hands.It is a sight to see her clear the hurdles, she goes at them in such an enthusiastic and businesslike fashion.At Toronto fair last year, she jumped 7 feet, 6 inches and at the recent horse show she made a most creditable performance.Rupert a large weight carrying black gelding will also be among the number of Messrs Pepper's string.This animal has equalled record of Pearl as regards the heigh he has cleared, and ten chances to one, he will carry off a good many red ribbons in Montreal.A good steady jumper is Blue Girl, a grey 16.3 in height, that always takes with the spectators.She is not s0 high a Jumper as those already mentioned, but at 4 foot or 5 foot, she is never guilty of mistakes and she goes through with her performance in a neat\u2019 and graceful manner.: Messrs.Pepper & Ce will also show their famous Creighton which has again and again won the championship as a saddle and harness horse.It is seldom a horse so well trained and with apparently so much zest in his work fs seen in a show ring.He positively shines as a leader of a tandem and it was his splendid performance that won the tandem first prize for his owners, at the recent Toronto horse show.Messrs, Peper & Co.will exhibit in all 18 horses, all of which are first class animals both as regards quality and training.Two of them Wiry Jim and Daisy Dean, combination animais.are recent purchases from the States and their guality may be judged when it 1s mentioned that each won two firsts recently at Toronto.Messrs.Crow and Murray's string will number 15 animals.The Thistledown is a 168 hand bay mare that divided first place with Messrs.Pepper's Myopia In thé high jumping class at Toronto a week ago.This animal Is only 6 years old and has shown herself of so high quafity that ahe is l- kely yet to rank with the highest jumpers on the continent.Her fo and weight carrying ability are far béyond the common, her record hitherto is 7 feet 1} inches.Timber Tipper and Coquette are à pair not easily beaten, The latter particularly, a bay mare 15,9 in height has won a e for hervelt.She has proved her mettle in the States having taken over 20 firsts and her performance at Toronto won for her .cule adn os { Ey ek Hands Off, a clever little harness gelding, another of Messrs.Crow and, Murray's string, should stand well in Montreal, he has plenty of action and speed as well.In harness he looks as pretty as a picture.Show girl and Sporting Duchess, two recent purchases of Messrs.Crow and Murray's, that took first at Madison Square show and at Toronto in the pairs driving class, will not unfortunately be on exhibition, as the latter of the two is slightly under the weather.It is expected that Mr.A.Yeager of Simcoe will exhibit his well known Hackney stallion Hilthurst Sensatius, a large bay which proved true to his name by reason of the stir he created when he appeared in the ring at Toronto.Mr.Adam Beck of London will also show his fine jumping horse Guardian, a bay which has all the points of an excellent hunter.By his performance at Toronto this horse made quite a reputation for himself, coming in first in two competitions.He would have done better had he been more skilfully ridden.\u2018 HINTS ON HARNESS BY AN OLD COACHMAN.An old London and Brighton Road Coachman says in \u201cThe Road\u201d\":\u2014 As Y have noted how little matters connected with harness cause many serious accidents, I am of opinion that tioned firm will exhibit is Myopia, a |accident be saved by a few recitals height, with a splendid record behind {little ts known by the horse owner him- o rma Of the suectators besides space will not be wasted if one such and remarks.As a rule, singularly self as to the \u201cwear and tear\u2019 of harness, and the desultory understanding between master and head man of a stable, be he studgroom over forty, or single handed coachman over one, leaves much to be desired.Certainly, if a master have a good man, he should give him permission to have harness repaired so far as is needful, and convince himself that the necessity does not exist when new harness is asked for and refused.When see hame straps with a \u201cspeck\u201d in them 1 cut them close to the buckle.They easily get slipped in when least wanted, if put on one side.I once went through the harness with the owner of forty horses, and rèmark- ing that a certain set was too far gone to use in such surroundings, was met with the reply: \u201cWell, it's a bit shabby for daylight, but it will do for night work\u2019 I replied: \u201cPardon me, but It obliged to use perished ha¥ness, I prefer it by daylight.You can so much more easily see where it Has bro- en.\u201d > I went to drive an \u201cawkward\u201d pair at another place.The harness was well cleaned, and as an experienced (*) man pad been in charge, great was my surprise, whilst waiting for the\u2019 groom outside the post office, to see onê horse hit his head against the other, and the winker give way at the top of the \u201ccheek plece,\u201d the while the horse was calmly looking at me, the bit ping in his mouth, solely supported by the curb.I unbacked mv rein and jumped down and put the handpiece round his neck till asalstance arrived; but think of such a thing ha ning on a dark night, all for the e of putting on perishing harness of which the owner, though detesting \u201cwaste,\u201d was quite unaware.Indeed, he immediately ordered a new lot to replace what I found on a thorough examination of the harness roôms was necessary\u2014a four- horse set, two single, one double, and a tandem harness, all the vital parts of which snapped like a \u201ccarrot\u201d when bent double with the hand.Sada EEE whose place is of old perishing harness.The coachiman kéeph hip pn dleaning it, but does not possess suffi- clent confidence in his master to jeopardize his situation by giving him to understand the real gtate of affairg and #eeking permission to clear jt out, Although they have some new harness, the old gets used nore or less in wet ee OOo er Is ever pre- sen e for the road! @ >a others on I once.saw the belly-bends set of Harness practicum burnt up.Having been sodden with ram, they were put on a fender to ; of voursé, the heat perished them.Nothing Carnes of a

continued moisture from tbe mouths of horses.They should be dally greased or they soon crack and break; .terrets become worn go thin they will cut the reins; pole pleces should be well looked after, and the head pleces of the bridles also.I really think it would pay to huve a practical man leok through the harness say, twice à yeur, in addition to tin- pressing the men with the necessity of {mmediately drawing attention to slight defects.'T'he practice of having à footman on the box instead of à carrtage groom sometimes leads to accidents the former being ignorant of the namesd of the harness.I remember a Prime Minister's brougham turning over, because when the near side horse fell and or damp; the the coachman told his footman to let out the polepiece, the latter undid the outside trace, with the result that the horse then went at his companion at right angles to the pole, and.of course over the vehicle went.This would never have happened had a plucky stable lad been on the carriage.Owners of road coaches should be very careful of hame straps.Men, left to themselves at a country inn, are Hkely to be careless when in wet weather the dirty horses claim attention, and the harness has to go.I know of a device which gives on the control of the pole even though the hame strap should break, and I think no passenger coach, liable to heavy loads on hilly roads, should be without such.LIST OF THE BOX HOLDERS Mr.J.B.Aldred, Bom, \u201cA.\u201d Ea are Box - r.Andrew Allan, \u201cR,\u201d East Side.8 Mr.H.Montagu Allan, Box in AS, .gus, Box \u201cB,* Went

$1.80 or $1.90 per draft of 230 pounds of green or fresh codfish, split, cleaned and minus the heads, which requires about 200 Ibs.of \u2018freshly caught fish.Now, at the usual prices paid in Montreal for Portland fish, the amount realized for the quantity now \"selling at $1.80 to 81.50 would be $320.Lobsters, which sell on the Gaspe coast for $1.70 to $3 per 100 Ibs, sell in Montreal and Toronto for from $8 to $10.Mr.Kennedy also points out that the Gaspe fishermen would be only too glad to obtain half the price of 7 to 8 cents per pound pald in ebec and Montreal foy haddock.t is hoped that all this will be ch when the éhort line of réiiway- is built through the interior of the Guspe peninsula.In the meantime hd\u201d suggests {hat Quebec, Montreal\u2019 and Toronto could even now obtain large quantities of cheaper, better and fresher fish from the Bale des Chaleurs and the Ghspe coast, if the subsidized steamer en the Bale des Chaleurs aus should run only.between Qaspe an presen: terminus of the Bate des Cbaleurs Railway gt.New Carllaje* instead of.to Dal- housie.: Ttis would ehable it to make three trips to Gaspe a ek inatead of two, and to place fresh fish from \u2018Gaspe L almost as quickly, and much more cheap- + Money- Maker MONEY-M.MAY | i CONTAINING BRIGHT INFORMATION BRIGHT PEOPLE, BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED VIEWS OF THE CITY OF MONTREAL, DEVOTED TO MONEY-MAKING METHODS OF THE DAY, 18 NOW READY, AND WILL BE MAILED TO ANY ADDRESB UPON RECEIPT OF TEN CENTS.NORRIS P.BRYANT, PUBLISHER, YORK CHAMBERS, MONTREAL.1 Jacob Beery & Co FREE THE MINING HERALD.Leading mini and financial paper, give ing all the news from all the mining districts, and oontaining latest and most reliable information on the mining and où industries, principal companies, dividends, etc.Every Investor should have ît.We will send it free for six months upon request.A.1.WISNER & CO.32 Broadway, New York.TOWN OF OSHAWA WATER WORKS and SEWERAGE WORKS.Sealed tenders will be received by the Board of Water Commissioners, address= ed to the chairman, until 7 pm.on Tuesday, May 31st, 1904, for the cone struction of a system of waterworks, sube divided into the following contractag \u201cA (1)\"\u2014Trenching, etc \u2018B\u2019\u2014Pump house.\u201cC (1)\u201d\"\u2014Water tower.\u201cC (2)\"\u2014Foundation.\u201cD\"\"\u2014Cast iron pipes.\u2018E\u2019\u2014Hydrants, valves, eto, \u201cG\"\u2014Pumping machinery.~ \u201cH'*\u2014Bollers.Sealed tenders will also be received ag the same date by the Mayor for\u2019 the cone struction of a system of sewers, the cone tractor to furnish all labour and materials therefor., Plans, mpecifications, etc., may be examined at the office of the Town Clerk, Oshawa, or at the office of the Chief Engineers, No.103 Bay street, Toronto, on and after May 10, 1904.W.F.COOWAN, EBQ., Chairman, Board Water Com.F.I.FOWKE, ESQ.Mayor.THOS.MORRIS, ESQ.Town Clerk, CHIPMAN, C.B., Chief Engineer.\u20ac 109 2 law .Jacob Berry.H.L.Bennet New York Cunsolidated Exchange.Members New York Produce Exchange.Paliadelphia Stock Exchange.ESTABLISHED 18468 STOCKS, BONDS, : GRAIN, COTTON, 82 St.Francois Xavier St., Montreal.42 Broadway, New York mon Distetprirate mire in our branches bic!

May 5, about 10,000 of the enemy's troops had landed.and taken up quarters in the Chinese villages near the points of debarkation.- \"The enemy sent two columns of about one regiment each, on in a

7.\u20142.28 a.m.\u2014 Japanese troops swarmlug across the narrow neck of the Liag Tung penin- [JiR sula, the railway and telegraph communications cut and the Russian Gib- raltor isolated and left to its own re- sources-\u2014all this the Russians seem to accept with great stoicism.: These events have been anticipated since the outbreak of the war.and the authorities in a sense, appear to be relieved now that the blow has fallen.They assert that the fortress is impregnable and amply provisioned to stand a siege for a year, and that prt can hold out until the time comes to relieve it.According to official information the landing of troops from sixty transports began simultaneously at Pit- sewo and Cape Terminal on the morning of May 5.It is also reported that troops are being landed at Kinchow, but this is not credited, as the Russians are known to have fortifications there, and it is not believed that the Japanese had the daring to land immediately under an entrenched position; from which the Russians could inflict severe injury on them.Complete details of the landing are lacking owing to the interruption of communications.+ No resistance was made, the few Cossacks observing the movement retiring when the warships shelled the shore preparatory to disembarkation.Ten thousand men were put ashore \u201cThursday and the disembarkation was proceeding yesterday at the time that communication ceased.It is believed that there are over 20,000 now on land preparing for a forward movement.wo Japanése regiments were hurried westward Yesterday morning to cut the rajiroad

about to be cut off that Viceroy Alexieff.accompanied by his staff, and Grand Duke Boris, left hastily.On Thursday several train loads of rick and wounded and other ineffectives were despatched northward.It is reported hers that the Japanese ships bombarded Port Arthur early on the morning of May 6 and succeeded at last in closing the entrance, but no official confirmation of the latter statement can be obtained.The exact hour at which communication with the Russian stronghold ceased has not been established.The strength of the garrison at Port Arthur is not revealed bv the authorities, who wil] only say that it is adequate for defensive purposes, It is not believed that thé force there exceeds 10,000 soldiers.- A -large force is not considered necessary.as was shown from the recent withdrawal of some of the troopg, who were simply a drain on the resources of the garrison.The fleet must now take a second- + ary position, and the sailors will be used to man the shore guns, if necessary.Admiral Bezobrazoff cannot now reach Port Arthur, and will probably go to Vladivostok to-join the cruiser squadron there.Rear-Admira] Wittz- veft, who was left In charge of the fleet by Viceroy Alexieff, will direct operations at Port Arthur.Wittzoeft is good officer.and it is belleved he Will ender excellent service.PLAN OF DEFENCE.Despite the greater number of Japanese., the general staff believes their formidable fortifications still leave the defensive supesiority with: the Rus- slans, whose staying qualities, it is confident.will ensure their holding out as long as necessary.While the outer line of fortifications extends to Kin- chow.unquestionably no determined effort will be made to hold them.nor is it expected that a desperate attempt to retain Dalny will be made.The main defence will be of Port Arthur, where, since the harbour has been oc- cupted by the Russians, steady work has progressed to complete the syn- tem of defence which is just as effective on the land as on the sea side.Lieutenant - General Stoessel will have supreme command at Port Ar- thurt.He ls.gescribed as a high- class commander.His recent proclamations show that he ls imbued with tmtil the last man is killed.7 Officers of the general staff say that the landing of the Japanese army on fie peninsula and thé investment of: Port Arthur clarify the military situs- tion, and the problem General Kuro- patkin must solve.Had Kuropatkin had his way before the war, it is said, he would have abandoned Port Arthur, withdrawn further to the north and waited until his army had become overwhelming in its strength, when he would have moved forward; but this was made impossible In consequence of the injuries sustained by the Port Arthur fleet and the impossibility of the departure of the fleet from Vladivostok with a superior force outside that port.Therefore, the commander-in-chief is waiting at Liao-Yang until the enemy's plans shall have developed suffictently to'show just what line it is proposed to pursue.© Caution forbade an attempt in force to prevent General Kurokl's passage of the Yalu, as the troops landed at Pitsewo might have been diverted to take the Russians on the flank or in the rear.UNCERTAINTY DISPELLED.Now that the uncertainty is partially dispelled, Kuropatkin, from the interior lines, is free to act.That he proposes to move energetically is shown by the fact that he has sent reinforcements to Feng-Wang-Cheng.The indications are that he intends immediately to assume the aggressive, and to strike General Kuroki's army before the latter can be reinforced through Corea.Should the Japanese landed at Pitsewo begin a northward movement enough Russian troops are stated to be in the vicinity of New: Chwang to hold the Japanese in check until conclusions have been tried with.Kuroki.It is not anticipated, however, that the Japanese will march northward, but they will, it is believed, devote thelr energies to effect the \u2018fall of Port Arthur.FORTY THOUSAND JAPS HAVE LANDED.Paris, May 7\u2014The St.Petersburg correspondent of the Echo de Paris sends the following under date of May 6: \u2014 - \u201cThe general staff'baltétés that the Japanése landed at Plhtsewo number not less than 40,000 and says that-the bulk of General Kurokis army was this morning about nine and & half miles from Feng-Wang-Cheng.The

the Elliot Islands.\u201cA staff officer sald that Lieut.General Zassulitch will be kept in the background during the remainder of the war, and it believed that General Kuropatkin will personally direct the operations.\u201c| am able positively to deny the statement that Port Arthur is bottled up.The passage is \u2018still free.\u201cThe telegraph office has received instructions not to accept messages for Port Arthur.\u201cVice-Admiral Skrydloff and Vice- Admiral Besobrasoff have been ordered to procead to Mukden, from where they will probably go to Viadivostock.\u201d The correspondent repeats the report that the Japanese have occupied Port Adams, and says that they are advancing on Port Arthur, thé garrison of which is expected to make a sortie.« Unconfirmed Rumours.St, Petersburg,

PRAISE FOR London May 7.\u2014The British press ia loud in itæ expressions ot admiration for the brillant Japanese strategy In dealing in rapid succession three great blows\u2014the battle of the Yalu, the sealing of Pott Arthur, and the landing at Pitsewo, and the development of these opening moves Is awaited with the greatest interest.It Is considered to be not unlikely that the primary object will be an assault on Port Arthur, and an endeavour to capture the Russian fleet there.This idea is favoured by Henry, Spenser Wilkinson, in the Morning Post, a journal generally well posted on Japanese affairs.Other journals consider that the Japanese will be contented to piace a small force as a mask at Port Arthur and will gend their main forces from Pitsewo to co-operate with General Ku.rokl's army, In which case Îf the Rus- slan adsertion that large cen ments have been, sent to Feng-Wing- Cheng.is true, a great battle if Imminent there or at Liao-Yang.It is believed that it is Japan's second army that landed at Pitsewo and that the destination of the third army corps is still to be revealed.Practically no further news of any kind has reached London, beyond be- Jated despatches from correspoudents with the Japanese army \u2018on the Yalu, detailing events preceding the recent battle.The Daily Chronicles Tokio correspondent asserts that simultaneously with the attack on Port Arthur the Japanese laid cables between one of the Jelands and th2 mainland, as a protection to their landing place, The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Tokio says the nine sunken fire- ships at Port Arthur were laden with a mass of stone and cement.The correspondent of the Standard at Tien Tsin cables that Viceroy Alex- feff has called upon the Tartar general and all the officials at Feng-Tien to quiet that place immediately.Anxiety at New Chwang.London.May TA telegram from New Chwang states thal grave uneasiness prevails in the British community there.Sritish

Mr.Charles M.! Hays, second vice-president and general Müus.adges Us the Grand 1 runk Radway, has written a letter to justify the increase of rates in Ontario by the Grand Trunk.He states that the company cannot have their expenses and taxes materially increased and also increase their capacity at great cost without adding to their, income by raising the rates to a reasonable extent.The increase applies to all the lines north and west of Toronto, This interesting communication was made public by Mr.J.W.Loud, freight traffic manager, before the Railway Commission last evening.and was drawn out by the complaint of the United Factories of Newmarket against Ffaising the rate od logs from Penetanguishene to New- market to 4 cents per hundred pounds.The Hays letter is in part as follows: _ \"I have had an expense statement analyzed, with the following results, the figures applying especially to our northern divisien in which division Pe- netanguishene and Newmarket stations dre fntluded, the increases being proportionately the same on our lines in other parts of- Ontario and Canada generally: \u201cFor the month of January, 1904, as compared with January, 1900, the ater âge cost of maintenance of way (road and bridges and buildings) and coh- .ducting transportation increased 23.54 per cent.These items of expense will show relatively the same per cent.of increase for the first three months of 1904 as compared with 1900.The expense of maintenance of equipment for the first three emonths of 1904, as compared with the year 1900, shows an average increase of 28.9 per cent., while for the year 1903, as compared with 1900 exceed 62 per cent.while for the past three months of 1904, as compared with 1800.the increase ts 18.8 per cent.We cannot look for any material decrease in this expense in the future.\u201d : Apples Arrived in Bad Shape.Special to The Montreal Star.Ottawa, May 7.\u2014Mr.John Brown, inspector of the Department of Agriculture at Glasgow reports to the fruit division Qtitawa, that shipment of over 12,000 boxes of Canadian Baldwins and Gpeenings redently lanned in that city with a large num \u2014r of the boxes broken.This conditior of affairs seemed to be due \u2018o the fact that the boxes were made w-th nniy a straight dovetail, simply matched, as it were.The advisability of heving the boxes made with the regaiar fan shaped dove tall or else strongly railed is, therefore, appacyt.: For Strenucus Lifes it is necessary to have your system in i k ox in ve Chat each enter be / PILLS are foremost of the few things that wili do i Co For Active Brains your liver must be right, stomach | a healthy condition your kidneys For Porfect Nealth there is no ter promoter than these famous ;

the Junior Couservative Club, held last evening fn that organization's comfortable quarters, Beaver Hull Square, proved un entire success in every respect The principal speukers were Mr.W.RB.Northrup, M.P., for East Hastings, Ont, and Dr.W.J.Roche, M.P.for Marquette, Manitoba.They fully lived up to the character given them by their leader, Mr.R.L.Borden, of being two of the best speakers in the House of Commons.Thelr addresses breathed hope in e future of the country and of the great party whom they represent.A striking feature of their speeches was the enthusiustic loyalty which they expressed towards thelr leader, Mr.R.L.Borden, M.P.The Conservatives from ull the city and Hochelaga divisions, from which the Club gathers its membership and in which it puts forth its efforts, as well as representatives of the leading French-Canadian clubs, crowded the spacious rooms, and enthusiastically manifested?their appreciation of the addresses.Among those in attendance, Lbesides the officers of the Club, were Messrs.Donald Macmaster, K.C., G.F.C.Smith, Edgar Judge, president of the W-stmount Conservative Association; F.J.Bisaillon, vice-president of the Lafontaine Club;

others.THE PROGRAMME.Mr, 8.W.Ewing, the newly elccted president, called the meeting to order aud read a letter from Mr.R.L Rorden, M.P., accepting the honorary presidency of the club, and introducing Messrs.Northrup and Roche.Mr.Frank J.Curran, the secretary, in the course of the evening, read letters from Mr.Gustave Lamothe, K.C., president of the Jacques Cartier Club, who was prevented by absence from the city from attending, and from the Morin Club, which promised to send representatives.In the course of the evening, an interesting musical programme was rendered.Mr.Courtice Brown excelled even himself, and was repeatedly encored.Mr.Eichorn's piano solos and accompaniments were up to his usual high standard.Mr.of banjo solos.The Messrs.Kitto gave some comic songs that were thorough- iy enjoyed, and Mr.Johnson also on tributed to the evening's entertainment.MR.NORTHRUP'S SPEECH.Mr.W.B.Northrup was introduced by President Ewing, and began by disclaiming the qualities attributed to him in the leader's letter.He was pleased, however, to be present, for he believed it Was good for men from one province \u2018to\u2019 meet and consult with those of the other provinces, so that rach could know of the other's progresses and difficulties, that all might the better work together for.the common good.He dwelt on the pride which should animate every Conservative in this country.That feeling wus not always as .strong as it should belie deemed it a great privilege for any man to be called a Conservative, for it meant association with the party whose leaders in the old land and in this had constructed the British Empire and the Canadian Confederation.Their party was one with a glorious past, and a bright future.In the past, they had such leaders as Macdonald, Cartier, Tupper, Thompson.Now they have R.L.Borden, a young man, but one who has taken his place with the most honoured leaders the party has had.Mr.Northrup briefly outlined the work done by Mr.Borden since the memorable date when the Conservatives, after the elections of 1900, came to- gvther at Ottawa\u2014a party with a glorj- ous past but a dismal present and dark future.Afier mature consultation, they had umanimously chosen a new man, R.L.Borden, as their leader.If, today, the spirit of success hovers over the banners of the party, if enthusiasm is aroused in every sectiorf of the Dominion, it is due to the sterling qualities as a man and as a political leader of R.L.Borden.His followers in the House admtre and look up to him, and he has taken his place in the hearts of Canadians of all races and creeds.After contrasting the record of the two parties in Great Britain and in Canuüda.showing that the English Torles had been the Empire builders, just as the Conservative leuders bad bullt, up the Dominion, while the other party could not point to a single great achievement.Mr.Northrup referred to the great wave, or rather two great waves, sweeping over this country.One was the rising wave of Conservatism which was bearing R.L.Borden to power, while the other was the receding wave, whioh would soon land the Government in Oppo- aition.Cardinal Newman had once described Conservatism as loyalty to a leader.Nothing could better describe the feelings of his followers for R.L.Borden.PREPARING FOR THE FRAY.Mr.Northrup took up the question of preparing for the fray.Every man\u2019s vote is equal, bul every man's support is not equal.Some men, whatever their social, financial or cdu- cational standard may be, possess that magnetism and that spirit of industry and organization which make their ald valuable.A club like that in which he was a guest could do immense good, and it would be regrettable if anything was neglected to ensure the marked triumph of their beloved leader: Let them study public questions and put them fairly before the people.If any man believes the party now In power has carried out | Hard to Quit COFFEE ?Not if you use POSTUM - FOOD COFFÉE «THERE'S A REASON.\" its promises, that it is adminiétering the affairs of the country honestly and well, he is bound to support the present -Government.The members might ask the electors whether they believed the standard of pubiic honour in Canada had been raised.He ventured to say that outside the not inconsiderable number of people who were dazzled by the possession or promise of positions of emolument, no one would venture to say yes.They might ask, too, whether it wus conducive to public honour to hear the leader of a party say in London.Ont., that preferential trade was the best thing that could be obtained for Canada and that his policy was the only one that could obtain it, and then to see the same leader go to England and tell the people over there that Canada did not need preferential treatment, would not'have it, and that he would not like to see the Old Country adopt such a policy for protection, against which Britain should always guard.They might ask whether lt was conducive to a high plane of politics for a party which had denounced à policy all the years it was in opposition to adopt the main features of that policy when it reached power.With regard to the preferential trade question, he had been asked why the Conservatives had not introduced a resolution in support of it in Parliament, Mr.R.L.Borden had been asked by several to do so.He had refrained from so doing, because he well knew that if such a resolution were introduced it would be voted down by the Government majority, and it would prove a set back to the grand work done for Canada and the Empire by Mr.Joseph Chamberlain in the British Isles.| DR.ROCHE'S ADDRESS.After a musical number and the reception of some twenty new members, mostly young men, into the club, Dr.W.J.Roche was called on, as the representative of the province of the golden grain.He expressed his pleasure at seeing so many young men present.Iie wished to say nothing derogatory ta the old war horses.They had done good service in the field, and now they could aid at the council table.The young men, however, must bear the brunt of the battle, and as a A.Junior Conservative he was proud to meet so many of his fellows in this city.The bright, cheery doctor told his disillusionment with politics.After hearing the declarations of the Liberals in the country, he had expected to find them raise the plane of political morality, but had been grievously disappointed.The day of chatisement was at hand, however, and the party in power would be called to time by the people of this country.He felt somewhat at a loss as to the nature of the speech he should give on such an occasion; but as he was Irish, he believed a fighting speech always in order.He would try to quote a few of the insincerities, incon- sequences and incongrulties of the gentlemen at Ottawa, who are drawing $7,000 and $8,000 a year for doing what they had promised they would not do.Dr.Roche dealt with the \u201cprosperity\u201d claim, and concluded that with a country such as we have.and the policy which the Government hid not dared wipe out entirely, the country must naturally share in the wide world prosperity.The Finance Minister had warned them that they were on the crest of the wave, but he failed to prepare for the dark years that must come.The Doctor récalled the blue ruin speeches of Sir Richard Cartwright, who found $38,000,000 an unreasonable experiditure, and now as a member of the Government\u2014although a passive member\u2014voted for expenditure nearly twice as large, and authorized a per capita tax of over $8, instead of that which he condemned as too high at $5.36.Sir Richard and the others had de- mere than absolute needs as an infamous proceeding, yet his party now boasted of surpluses.Dr.Roche spoke of some of the expenditures which tt: country should condemn, such as the building of wharves where there was not enough water to float a ship, as in some portions of Mr.Fielding's constituency.He twitted the Goverament with the waste of money on the prohibition plebiscite, when Mr.Fisher himself declared that they had settled in advance that nothing would be done unless fifty \u201cper cent.of the people voted for it, which was an impossibility.He referred to the extra two millions spent, on the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass, the half mils Mon extra on the Drummond county deal, t}).waste in the Yukon expenditure, the emergency food scandal, and other wasteful transactions.The doctor touched upon the record of the parties, showing that the Liberals had opposed everything that had been proposed in the interest of the country.So it is to-day.Mr.R.L.Borden has laid before the country a transpuitation scheme that recommends itself, to all business men, but the Liberal party, of course, opposed it, despite the denunciations of Mr.Blair.LIBERAL DISINTEGRATION.The Government had a leader with a pleasing personality.o one denied L \u2018.He was as pleasing in preaching Free Trade as in practicing Protection, in advocating Preferential Trade in Canada as in denouncing it in England.He ever.drew applause from his followers in the House when, faced with his own declarations in Opposition, he says: \u2018Well, we are here, and you are there, what are you going to do about it?Disintegration is setting in strong.It has even attacked the cabinet, as was shown by the resignations of Messrs.Tarte and Blair.The doctor criticized the Government severely on the humiliating position it had placed itself in by appointing Mr.Blair to office.The Premier had thus admitted that Mr.Blair's critclsms were jus- tifted.Dr.Roche declared strongly in favour of a protective policy alike in the interest of the farmer and the manufacturer and all other sections of the community.With the policy which the party has, with a leader like R.L.Borden, daily growing in esteem, and with a rich and splendid country.the Couser- vative party had every reason to have confidence in the future.VOTES OF THANKS.Mr.F.J.Bisaillon, K.C., on behalf of the Lafontaine Club, congratulated the Junior Conservatives on having brought such guests to the city.He agreed with the sentiments expressed.The party was proud of its men of the past and present, and had every reason to hope for the future.Mr.Saumarez Carmichael, expres- fdent of the Club.moved a hearty vote of thanks to the speakers.He also thanked the members of the club, and especially the new president and the other members of the executive, for the splendid support they had given him during his term.He was glad to see so many recruits, especially as they came from all sections of the city, for the Junior Conservative Club intended to throw itself into the fight in evry division, and not only in the city, but in the whole district.Ald.H.B.Ames seconded the vote of thanks.He recalled some of the things that made him blush while in England for Canada.Of course he could not speak there for one or other political party, so he had to bear his shame in silence.The absence of an insolvency law, the failure of the Par- Hament to support Chamberlain's fight for Canada, were the principal subjects of reproach.Mr.Edgar Judge, on behalf of the Westmount Association, and Mr.Jos, Lussier, on behalf of the St.Gabriel Club, supported the vote.and congratulated the Junior Conservatives.The evening closed with \u201cAuld Lang nounced the imposition of taxation for Syne\u201d and \u201cGod Save the King.\" ADMIRAL TOGO REPORTS THAT PORT ARTHUR IS CONPLETLY BLOCKED No

representative of the petroleum interests in Petrolea, Ontario, is now here, endeavouring to induce the British tube manufacturers to compete for the supply of immense quantities of steel and iron tubing and casings used in the Canadian oil fields, every foot of which is Imported from the United States.The difficulty hitherto has been that the British manufacturers have neglected the exact local needs, whereas the American firms have a representative on the spot.Canadian oilmen much prefer the British tubes, which also have the advantage of the preference.The movement promises to succeed.It is mot improbable that an outcome also may be the Investment of British capital in the expansion of the Petro- lea fields, and the exportation of petroleum to Great Britain.It fs stated that an Englishman, who recently in?vested thers, receives 25 per cent.per Maonth on his capital.: WINDERMEREB CANADA A COUNTRY \u201cOF CONFLAGRATIONS.London Economist Discusses Fire Insurance in
