Minister.Lord Roeebery, wearied of ploughing that lonely furrow to which in bis last public speech he consigned himself, declared in a great speech at Chesterfield, last evening, his willingness to place his services at the disposal of the country, and enunciated the policy, which, in his opin- | fon, ehould be adopted for healing the nation's ills and! uniting the Liberal py i rp Bg unbounded ky e gigantic audience which Who Abandoned His \u201cLonely Furrow?\u201d at Chesterfield Yesterday.the great carshed of the the Lancashire and Derbyshire Railway, which war converted for the occasion into a meeting ball, is estimated to have numbered fully five thousand; but a ar ter number were le to gain en! weather was most Macspitions \u201cfrom t the stôrm of December ue y alt rob snow but were was falling; not deterred Bey \u2018came be T1 parts of the country i train, and from she - sur rounding districts-sin- carriages an After the main speech, Lo Ror dressed an overflow mecting, althou voice was so hoarse that it was with dithi- culty he made himself audible.HE WILL LEAD AGAIN.It may unbesitatingly be said that the impression created amon his hearers was that Lord Rose! lead the Jiberal party again, \u2018and lead i to victorr at the .His views, although pro femedly unframed on party lines, met the ti so far as they were re- i His bold ent- io har of the Irish views wan greeted with less approval than bis strong imperialistic views on the war.his speech, which occupied two hours, the attention of his audience never while the entbusidsm grew as; he ed.P Besides Mr.Asquith and Sir Edward Grey.about a score o of Parliament, and Lord Brassey and Lord Burgh clere, supported Lord Rosebery on the platform.Sir Henry Fowler, formerly president of the local Government board, and others, wrote sympathetically, and \u2018 regretting their absence.CAME TO SPEAK HIS MIND.Lord\u2019 Roscbery opened his speech by appealing for a patient hearing, even if his audience disagreed with bim, He said he had not come to tickle their ears with clo- quence and rhetoric, but to speak his mind, being repared to give some advice to the betal party which would, at apy rate, be diopameichate and \u2018impartial.ere were three or four preliminary fata to be re mem regarding e.party if the situation was to be looked fairly and squarely in the face.Lu : First \u2014 The party had through a painful sickness, and was only mo now, ap epproaching convalescence.t was now free altogether?nd.its Irish alliance, and pe consequences.The Irish bP repeatedly nep ines with the party in terms that were now arrayed themsel openly with the enemies fighting the coun-; try in the field, he did not suppose that much em ent was likely to arise a too intimate connec: tion between the two.(Loud cheers.) Third\u2014The Liberal party had to Rain, or regain, its umty.He did not pretend to say how that was to be done, It was not a part of the must not promise more than it could perform.ln this respect, he spoke ax a peni- teat; for on re-inspecting the Queen's épecch of 1888, which was prepared hy a govern- meut of which hé was a member, he found it promised a new statutory parliament for Ireland, the dis-establishment of two state churches and other matters.That speech was a model to be avoided He advised the party not to move much faster than the mass of the nation was prepared to move ; or it would find itself isolated.This advice could have been put by better uthority \u2018than himself, namely President velt, the head of the greatest democratic community in the world.Continuing, he maid: \u201cWe hope to keep going by steps, not bounds.We must keep our eyes on the stars, but also remember that our feet are on the ground.\u201d LIBERAL FANATICS.Lord Rosebery declared that he knew there were many idealist and honest fanatics far in advance of the Liberal party and their aims, who would reprobate this advice.1i they blew their trumpets until they cracked their cheeks, the walls of Jericho would not fall.His last piece of advice was that the party ought not to dissever itself, even indirectly, unconsciously, or by careless words, from the new | Sentiment of Empire which occupied the nation.To many, the word empire was suspect, indicating aggression, greed and violence; but the sentiment now represented by the word in Great Britain had nothing of that in it It was the sentiment of affection involving a feeling of pride and the statesman who disconnected himself from it must not be surprised if the nation disconnected itself from him.PLEA FOR EFFICIENCY, If asked to state the policy to which the axioms he \u2018had shown should \u201cbe \u201capplies he might find difficulty in complying except by imagining himself a responsible Minister, which, he added facetiously, would be an inconceivably wild flight of the imagination.But his watchword, if in office, would be efficiency.If the nation had learned from the war that it was greatly lacking in efficiency, it had learned nothing, agd its treasure and lives had been thrown away.The people had first to examine the effl- ciency of the rlinmentary machine.It had been said that Parliament was on trial.He was not sure that the trial was not eud- cd and the jury considering sentence.He could not show more absolutely the ridiculous impotence to which Parliament had been reduced, than by stating the fact that 76 per cent.of the money voted'in the House of Commons last season had been closu UC ARMY ARD NAVY.| Next, it was imperative to refprm the administration of the War Office, the com: plaints against which he believed to be just.Again, it wus desirable a explore with exceeding vigilance the efficiency of the Navy, particularly the location of the various squadrons.This did not imply doubt of the navy\u2019s efficiency; but it wax a matter concerning which watchfulness could not be relaxed for a single moment.Then an energetic enquiry should be made concerning commerce and industry.He admitted that in connection with these subjects he did not entertain the optimistic views ex- \u201cGo to James Strachan for largest assortiment of bread in the city.\u201d 245tf pressed by.Mr.Balfour in a Fècent speech.\u2018He (Rossbery) was alarmed concerning the future, bat most important of all, because underlying the \u2018efficiency :of the nation was the question df education in which Great Britain whs sadly lagging.It was the weapon with which the nation had ta peacefully fight other nations.As present constituted, or not constituted, it was a bow-and-arrow like weapon.There was nothing like a national system of edn- cation.All was chaos e housing of the people and temperance were other matters demanding every efficiency treatment.BRITAIN\u2019S GREAT CRISIS.Lord Rosebery recalled that when he accepted the Chesterfield invitation, he had said that the pation waa at the greatest vri- ais of its history.There were three elements in the crisis, iE in foreign relations, the Ministry and in the war.© When the King n meets Parliament, and ill-will with which she was regarded almost unanimously by the people of Europe.A When the Government went \u2018into office in 1895, it found peace with honour.and as much good will as could reasonably be expected.It had now in the ill-will of almost of every nation of the globe.This was a most dangerous state of affairs.The Government to a large extent wus respon: The people of Europe had received © © he might, be able to announce that © © his relations with foreign Govern- © © ments were satisfactory;

City Hall.As wus expected, the Cny Council yesterday afternoon ruised the pay of labourers from 81.25 10 31.50 4 day.It was amusing to see how the good city fathers fought, for the privilege of being able to claim the honour of having got the advance in pay for labourers.- ere were su many motions and amendments to get this advance that the aldermen got hopelessly lost in them.\u2018The elec- tiops were close ut hamd, and the aldermen who could go forth and claim the distine- tion of having been the instrument of this popular move was sure to be met with open arms by the workingmen.À couple of weeks ago the (ity Council decided that contractors who got contracts frum the city should pay labourers $1.90 a day, instead of $1.25.At yesterday's meeting one better was gone, and it was proposed that the city should also pay $1.30.This motion was also carried.No sooner was a motion made by Ald.Quimet to make the pay $1.50 than an amendment came that the men should be pail 15 cents an hour.This, of course, meant about the same thing.Then there followed other motions which all meant £1.50 a day, although worded in different ways.Each alderman was deadly anxious that his particular motion should carry, and his should be the glory of proclaiming the indebtedness of the workingmen to him.The good fathers got angry at \u2018each other, and gave each other lessons in the meanness of tryin, honour that should be his._ WALKING DELEGATES DELIGHTED.The labour delegates, who had been lobbving \u2018before the meeting as to the raise of pay, were simply delighted at the anxiety of the aldermen to do what was \u201cjust and fair to the honest workingman.\u201d In the height of the hubbub, Ald, Mar- tineau informed his brethren that workingmen would have behaved with more decorum, in discussion, than what the mem- hers of Council were doing.All this availed nothing; and cries were still heard claiming particular amendments and motions to the ones that were only in order.At this juncture Ald.Gallery made a apeech that it was only fair carters should get $2.25 a day.At the present they onl got £2.It was not just that a man, wit a horse, should only get £2 a day, and a labourer be paid $1.50.This was admitted, and it was made a notice of motion.Discussion on its merits will taken up at the next meeting.And now, once more, attention was turned to the proposition to pay labourers $1.50 a day.Ald.Ouimet now got very wrathy and stated Ald.Valierea was trying to rob him of a motion that every one knew was his and his alone.He would get even with Ald.Valieres by going into his ward, and telling the electors some truths about him.To this threat Ald.Vallieres gave open defiance: and once more there was a nice little bear ganden.The workingmen present must have been simply prostrated with the sight of all this solicitude for them.Finally, after the aldermen were about worn out, a compromise was made between the motions of Ald.Ouimet and Vallieres, and it was decided to pay labourers 15 cents ;an hour, except in case of.infirmity.REPAIRS TO THE CITY HALL.Another long discussion ensued as to paying for the repairs to the City Hall.In ar they have amounted to nearly $20,000.Many of the aldermen object to the account on the plea that certain repairs were done without formal orders.It was explained by- Ald.Laporte that the account had been closely inspected, and, moreover, the work done had been measured, etc., by the city's building inspector; the result was the statement that the city wns not being overcharged.; The city\u2019s attorneys had also declared the account was | and should be paid.If more work had been done than what had first been contemplated, it was because the City Hall had been found in a dreadful con- ditian; it was literally falling to pieces.It was the contention of .Brunet that much of the work had been illegally done; then he did not agree with the uilding inspector as to the measurements, etc.It was moved by Ald.Martineau that the account be sent to a special committee.Some stroug speeches were made by Ald.Jacques and Lamarche; whereupon Ald.Sadler, who bad largely been in charge of the repairs, suggested that the kickers be ut on a committer, He could may that very cent spent had heen accounted for and so did not fear an investigation.Ald.he said the account was several thousand dollars more than what it should be.Finally a committee was appointed to look into the account.to rob a man of the- THE ALDERMAN AND [AN OLD FAVORITE AT THE ACADEMY All Round Good Vaudeville Marks the Show at

twenty years older is idle guesip.The revival of Rice's \u201cEvangeline\u201d comes to the Academy Just in time to be called a Christmas attraction, and as such it is really a good entertainment.Here and there a touch of up-to-date-ness has been added to the stage management, but, taking it as 8 whole, those who remember the original production must be pleased with the revival, and those who do not, can find a light, frothy periormance that is pleasant to Jook at.As usual in reproductions of old favourites, one tinds ideals of the past rudely shaken.former improves; in others he cannot.In the latter class Hallen Mostyn is unfortunately found this week.From \u2018\u201cThe Sheriff of Nothingham™ to the silly girl's role in \u201cEvangeline\u201d is a blow from which Mr.Mostyn cannot recover for some time.On the other hand Charles Guyer's \u2018Lone Fisherman\u201d is a new creation from the old idea and in it he provides a character that becomes the talk of the foyer and makes people wonder where this talented youth as been hiding.His dancing eccentricities are clever conceits that warranted the many encores he received.The chief female part in this revival is that of Gabriel, Evangeline's sweetheart.It is played by Miss Isabel Underwood, who has a stikingly plea- gant contralto voice.In duet work with Miss Lila Blow and in the dream scene in the second act she scored marked successes.Miss Blow played Evangeline very nicely.J.Gus Daly got a g deal out of the notarv and William Burress\u2019 Captain Dei- trick caused any amount of laughter.[he chorus is fairly large and the scenery m keeping with ancient lines spoken.\u2018 ° Proctor\u2019s.Those who enjoy a good vaudeville turn will do well to visit Proctor\u2019s this week.A turn which universally pleased last evening was that of the trained dogs, eight fux terriers, who under the guidance oi Madame Emma perform all sorts of :lever tricks.The act is skilfully handled and pleasing.Russell Brothers as the Irish servant girls have been seen in Montreal on previous occasions, but the turn is as funny us ever.The imitations, done in the rough comedy line, are certainly to the lite.Maude Bealle Price, a monologist does some acrobatic feats with her voice in the way of musical imitations.The work is finished and the turn attractive.Belle Stewart.the comedienne, wins out by her figure, her walk and her supreme nerve.There is lots of desh and-no-voice to .Canfield and Carleton give a sketch called the \u201choodoo.\u201d is gives opportunites for many absurdities which take well, although of , the roughhouse order.A.ncan has a ventriloquist turn.His game of talk is amusing and the performance finished.Fields an Ward have a talking act which at times fails to be interesting.The last act is \u201cDr.Schwindler,\u201d which is an \u201cexposure\u201d on the Eastern wonder worker and the game of talk which goes with it ie really amuging.Theatre Francais.M avhen London

OTTAWA, December 17.\u2014 It appears that one whole squadron of the Canadian Mounted Rifles, and not merely ten men, will act as scouts under the command of Lient.Casey Callaghan, formerly of Toronto.The story that ten special scouts were to be chosen arose from the fact that ten pack-saddles have been ordered for the squadron of scouts.The pack saddles placed on led horses will enable the men on scouting duty to take along three or four days\u2019 provisions per man.Lieut.Callaghan was eighteen months in South Africa, part of which time w spent with the late Major Howard's scouta.He behaved with great gallantry, and was frequently mentioned in despatches.> If the Imperial authorities accept the of+ fer of a field hospital to accompany the Mounted Rifles, Dr.A.N.Worthington, of Sherbrooke, will go in charge as surgeon- colonel.The other oflicers will consist of a major, a captain and two lieutenants.The hospital will have accommodation for one hundred men.The transport will consist of 28 horses and eight waggons.All necessary medical supplies and medical comforts will be taken along.Dr.Worthmgton is an experienced and capable man, and served in South Africa with the Canadian Artillery.Captain J.O.Ruggles, of the 5th Regiment,\u201d Lunenburg, N.S.despairing of getting a commission in the Mounted Rifles, enlisted as a private, and has been made a sergeant.Now that more officers are going, he wants to receive a commission.he Department of Agriculture has re- 4 1,000 more tons of (\u2018anadian flour to, be shipped to South Africa.This will mike 2,014 tons of flour sent to the Cape.A MYSTERY AT DUTTON.William Urlin Found Dead With Bullet Holes in His Head.(Special to the Star.) DUTTON, Ont., December 17.\u2014About 8 o'clock on Sunday morning William G.Urlin was found dead in the ben-coop in, the rear of his residence.The circumstances were such that Dr.Ling, coroner, decided to bold an inquest.rlin was 48 years old, and was at one time a member of the firm of Urlin Brothers, who earried on a general store in this place.He had been out of employment for a few weeks, and is said to have become despondent.Nothing was seen of him by his own family after late on Saturday afternoon until his body was found in the hen-coop.A.peculiar circumstance is that two bullet wounds were found back, of the right ear.Some physicians say that a man could not shoot imself so twice.\u2019 Other remarkable facts are that the skin was not burned, ipdicat- ing that the shots were not fired at close range, and no.shots were heard, although the\u2019 family were up all night.A revolver belonging to Albert Hertel, his brother-in- law, was found close by where the body was lying when found.Three chambers were empty and two were loaded when the revolver was found.The deceased leaves a wife and four children.The inquest was opened last night hefore Coroner Ling, of Dutton.County Crown Attbrney Donahue was present to represent the people; G.St.Clair Leitch, of Dutton, the family, and W.L.McLaws, of St.Thomas, private \u2018pars ties.After hearing the evidènce of Albert Hertel, who found the body, the inquest was adjourned till Mdénday.Before the funeral, however, a post-mortem will be eld.ere was an insu 2 the life of the deceased.- CF 0 on \u2014_ CANON DAVIDSON SUES.Enters Action Because of the Death of His Son in Manitoba.WINNIPEG.December 17.\u2014Rev Canon Davidson, his wife and daughter, of Frelighs- urg, Que., have brought action in the courts because of the death of the son of the canon, W.Davidson, who was killed on September 11, 1000, in the power house of the Selkirk Electric Light Company, rough coming in contact with a live wire.The case was opened at Selkirk yesterday.The defandants in the auit are James Stewart, of Winnipeg: W.W.Coleman and W.J.Bruce.of Stonewall.and T.W ebster, of Selkirk: who carry on business at Selkirk, under the firm name of W.J.Bruce & Co.Davidson entered the employ of the defendants on the 8th July, 1900, and remained there until his death, on t S - er 1000.;
