Fareweli to Johns Hopkins.YOUTH IS PROGRESSIVE The New Oxford Regiys Professor Says American Medical Colleges are Inferior to European.Special to The Montreal Star.Baltimore, Md., February 24.\u2014That nothing in the world is accomplished * Dy man more than forty years old and that men of sixty years should be retire4 or chloroformed, und that Amer!- can medical colleges are teaching hybrid systems of medicine and producing ignorant practitioners, and that Europe is far ahead of the United States in medical universities were the statements made in the farewell address of Dr.William Osler at the an- niversaty exercises of Johns Hopkins University, which institution Dr.Os- ler 4e about to leave to become the head of the Medical School, of Oxford University, Dr.Osler sald: \u201cT have two fixed ideas well known to my.friends.The first is the comparative uselessness of men above ety ye: years of age.This may seem g, and yet read aright the world's history bears out (he statement.Take the sum of human achlevement in action, in sclence, in art, in literature, subtract the work of the men above forty, and, while we ould- misg great treasures \u2014 even priceless treasures\u2014we would practically be where we were to-day, \u201cIt js difficult to name a great and far-reaching conquest of the mind which has not been given to the world by a man on whose back the sun was stil} shining.The effective, moving.vitalising work of the world is done between the ages of twenty-five and forty, these fifteen golden years of plenty; the anabolic or constructive period, in which there Is always a balance In the mental! bank and the credit ig still good.PROGRESS CAME THROUGH THE YOUNG.\u201cIn the science and art of medicine thers has not been an evidence of old men in the first rank which Vesalius, haw, unter, Bycht, LaEnnee, Vir- cho and \u201cKoch have occupied.The green years were yet upon thelr héads when their epoch-making studies weré

men should retire from active life at sixty or be chloroformed and that after forty a man cannot achieve greatness by individual work.The eminent doctor's remarks are coming in for scathing criticism mostly by men over forty., CURIOUS, NOT SCIENTIFIC.Elis H.Roberts, United States Treasurer, 78 years old, d: \u201cThe views of Dr.Osler are curious rather than acten- tific.He might have explained that Mr.Thiers, President of France, when he was near his eightieth year, prevented Germany from stripping his country of more than one-third of his territory and how he achieved his great diplomatic victory over Bismarck.It wou!d also be interesting to hear the explanation how Pope Leo XIII.really won his immortality, which all concede to him.after he had passed eighty- three years.He Hved to be ninety- three.Representative Payne, New Yobk, sixty-two years old, sald: \u201cI can hardly concur with Dr.Osler's statement that a man is not worth much after he is forty.I would suggest that President Roosevelt, who Is forty-five, is still worth a great deal, and liable to continue to be a factor for some years to come.\u201d Senator J.C.Burrows, of Michigan.sixty-eight years old, sald.\u201c1 do not know the gentleman who made the statement, but [ think any one who says anybody should be chloroformed when he is sixty, has reached a point where he should be chioroformed

presidents of banks, heads of insurance companies and other corpora s, and a condition of abnormal and excessive commercial activity is the result.The frantic scramble after money and position uses up the nervous vitality, so that at forty years men have exhausted the energy of a lifetime.Dr.Osler has drawn his opinion from these data.but it is 50 radical! as to be misleading.\u201d It is posent ro

Chauncey M.Depew openly scofted\u2019 at Dr, Osler's statement, and said everybody knows that the work of the world is being done by old men.He modestly referred to his own achievements since he had passed seventy.and called attention to Bismarck amd Giadstons, both of whom were shining examples of what old men can do when they are aronsed.He pointed out that even Shakespeare had shown that age could not wither nor custom stale the infinite variety of charms of a woman like Cleopatra, even when she was old enough to be a grandmother.Nearly all New York's leaders in financial and public life

declared that men when they reach the age of 60 years should be chloroformed.Dr.An- gell says: \u201cI would llke to extend the time of man's life instead of shortening it.The experiment of killing

Ontario Navigation Company.offering to sell to the city an entire outfit, so it could operate boats between the city and St.Helgn's Island.The cost of the outlfi.was put at $10,000.The Informatio was also conveyed that the company, for years past, had made no money out of running boats to the island: in fact, money had been lost by the contract which the company had with the city, in this connection.If the company continued to operate boats during the summer to the island, the corporation was asked to vote the company a bonus of $2,000.When Ald.Robillard, chairman of the Parks and Ferries.Committee, reached the City Hall to-day, the letter from the company was in the hands of the secretary: Mk Campeau.When first questioned to the contents of the letter, Ald.Robillard for a time.refused to give any information in regard to the matter.Later, however, as the contents of the communication becume known, Ald, Robillard.consented to speak.He said it was true the Richelteu and Ontario Company had sent a Jet- ter, offering to sell the steamer Cultivateur, which runs between the island and the city, and also to sell the city the sheds on the wharf in Montreal.the wharf from where the bodt runs, ge am well as the wharf and shed at Helen's Island, for a sum of about 346,000.It was also true that the company had stated jt had made no profit out of operating boats to the land, and demanded a bonus of $2, t the boats were operated during the pn Ing summer.TO CALL SPECIAL MBETING.It was the opinion of Ald.Robillard that the company's demand for $40,- MO was a large one.In the firet place the steamer Cultivatenr was an old one: while the wharves, sheds, etc.were far from new.The matter was such an important one.that Shea (A.(Ald.Robillard), would, however, cial meeting of the Parke.\u2018and Pertes Committee for Tuesday, when the offer of the company could be discussed.yas further explained by Ald.Robfl- ard.that the contract.which the Richens arid Ontario Company had with the city expired last autumn.It was evident, seetng; that {fie company demanded a bonis, that it was time the city was taking some steps, so new paselngert TB de fiend.Was Aho It wis

request favorable.A HANDSOME PRICE.Another member of the Parks Committee sald: \u2014''The letter of the company shows the company is asking a handsome price for an.old boat, and for some old wharves.The time has come when the city must purchase new | boats, and operate them between the island and the city: Such a service could be given for far,less than $40,000.I belteive if the city purchased a couple of small, well built boats, that passene- gers could be carried to and from.the {sland for onetor two cents.Some tfme ago, a party who runs boats between Montreal and lower ports, offered te take over the service to St.Helen's Island.He offered much better terms than the ichelleu and Ontario Company has done.1 shall ask, when the Parks Committee meets, that this man be communicated with.There have been thany complaints about the poor service, With a good fast service to the island, and with amusements there, there should be.no danger of making the service pay.my point of view the city should own the ferry service.I do not think that the City Coun- ofl will ever consent to buying out the service of the R & O Company, at the figures quoted in the communication it sent to'the City Hall to-day.I think the.outcome of this letter will be that the city will get an indépendént service to the island, and the Company can then keep ita boats.\u201cThe Government ls about to turn over the whole island to the city, and this will mean that the corporation can build wharves at any point on the iîs- land it desirés.In addition to this, plang are to be submitted to the Parks Committee on Tuesday.showing how an elevated passage could be bulit over the wharves, sé passen could reach the boats running to St.Helen's island without having to walk across the tracks to the boats.This would be a popular move.\u201d « Genuine Carter's Little Liver Pills Must Bear Signature of there | époctte | * TAB00ED - by many people, because - they \u201chave found ft why, and

but the gentlemen who give themselves 80 earnestly and enthusiastically to the heavy task of managing the affairs of the \u201cGeneral\u201d should not be allowed to entertain a moment's misgiving as to the future.Montreal has not the slightest intention of permitting the old General Hospital to do else than grow with its growing responsibilities.All that can happen is that these public-minded men may suffer some anxiety and may have to take some special ateps to call the attention of the people to the condition of affairs; but, ip the case of an institution so well known and popular, neither of these burdens should be placed upon its Sponsors.A spontaneeus effort on the part of, the people to put the Hospital in funds: would be a gracious and a deserved action.Money could rtot be better invested.The doors of the Hospital are open to all creeds and classes and to the \u2018stranger within our gates\u201d; and they must never so much as creak warningly on their hinges for lack of a little \u201cofl.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The Rallway Committee wouldn't have Mr.Lancaster's bill, intended to make the level crossings somewhat safer than they are now.Possibly the Rall- way Committee was right; for nothing of its abolition.Many of our level crossings in Montreal are provided with gates and watchmen as Mr.Lancaster desired, but they kill people just as cheerfully as any other kind.When the country comes to think more of people than of dollars, it will tunnel or bridge every railway crossing in a populous community.There have at times been some curious thefts to demonstrate the audacity or Ingenuity of the thieves, but certainly among the strangest was that on the Rosebud Indian agency lands, recently thrown open to settlement in South Dakota.One Hans Olsen and his family went to bed locked up securely in their little one story house last Sunday night.A gang of thieves who thought the house was unoccupied stole it during the night without awakening the Inmates, got the little bulldi on bob sleds and drove off some mt out in the prairie, without awakening Olsen or his family.Then they started to open up the house.This aroused the people and the thieves fled, This certainly must be regarded as a record theft.HOLMES\u2019 ASSISTANT THOUGHT TO BE HOGH.Speclal to The Montréal Siar.Ogdensburg, N.Y., February 24\u2014 Johann Hooch, who was recently arrested In New York, charged with having gone through the marriage ceremony no less than twenty-five times with as many women.six of whom are dead, is supposed to have been an accomplice of Holmes, who was arrested in Philadelphia some years ago for the many crimes he committed in Chicago.Holmes , practiced in Mooers,.near here, for a time under the e of Dr.Mudget and Loch is sald to ba a young man who went by the name of Bruce, and who at the same time clerked for the firm of Whitney and Stewart, of Mooers Forks.Bruce, while here, married a young lady of that place, whom he deserted shortly afterwards.Doth men, during thelr stay at Mooers Forks, were sup.'posed to be very respectable.;

different state funerals all the relatives of the deceased have invariably been present, and the interment took place at St.Petersburg.\u201cAt the funeral of the Grand Duke, however, even the ministers and am- ors were not present.They remained at St.Petersburg attending & commemorative funeral service there, while the Czar and members of his family, attended a special service at his own palace, the Tsarskoeselo, sixty miles distant from St.Petersburz.\u2018Only a week ago it was believed that the brightest days in Russia's history were coming.The Czar seemed inclined to grant the most essential reforms asked by the Zemstvos.Even the date for a general assembly of this body had been set for yesterday.But new, as an immediate result of this act of terrorism, the Czar will not likely yield to the demands of the people.\u201cThe ukase issued yesterday, provides that no Zemstvos convocation will be held now, nor will any measure of representative government be conceded.This would indicate that there is no hope for the present for the Russian people to obtain the reforms they need and desire.Even the Prime Minister De Witte has resigned.\u201cOptimistic as one might like to be, I am compelled to acknowledge, from a review of the state of affairs in the Czar\u2019s domain, that either the obstinate bureducracy will have to be crushed, or the whole country will be doomed to a long postponement of Russia's hopes for liberty.\" CONDITION OF STREETS IN UPPER PART | OF THE CITY.The efforts of the residents of Peel street in the cause of good roads have attracted much public attention.The operations in Peel street have been confined to the portion between St.Catherine and Sherbrooke Streets, and the grade and evenness of surface are at once apparent.Not so with Stanley, Drummond, Mountain and Crescent streets, which are just west of Peel and between the Drummond and Mountain are made formidable and undightly, towards the Sherbrooke end, owing to piles of snow over aix feet from the sidewalk.The sidewalks are in fair condition and by no means uncomfortable to pedestrians.The width of the road will allow of two teams passing each other without risk of collision.In the cases of Mountain.Stanley and Crescent atreets, the seat of the trouble seems tp be confined to those portions between Burnside Place and Sherbrooke street.The lower portions are rugged, but in the upper parts the piles of snow compared with other places in the city, would lead to the impression that the storm had raged in those parts with much greater severity.The passage is narrow and seems dangerous to traffic, particularly after sun-down.FOR REMOVAL \"OF BODY RESCINDED BY THE COURT.Mr.Justice Davidson, yesterday, rescinded the order previously granted, for the removal of the body of the late Colbert O.Grothe, and ordered that the body be returned to the Cote des Neiges cemetery.Mr.J.C.Lamothe appeared on behalf of the children of the deceased, and his brothers, and presented a petition, setting forth that the petition for the removal of the body had been obtained through failure to state that : FAILING EYESIGHT Caused.by Improper Food.Writers who live sedentary lives and who use coffee are apt to be troubled by faulty visfon, which \u2018they usually attribute to overwork.That they are sometimes mistaken is proved by the following statement from an old newspaper man: .\u201cFor nearly 40 years I have earned my living with the pen.A few years ago I began to suffer from occasional \u2018blind spells\u2019 My vision frequently became obscured by whit may be called kaleidoscopic blurs, in which constantly changing figures like wheels, stars.etc., floated before my eyes.making it impossible forv me to work while they lasted.They were usually followed by dull, heavy headaches.\u201cMy physicians, two of them, advised me that my eyes had become weakened by overwork.1 consulted an oculist, but he could not \u2018discover the cause of the trouble.I bought stronger glasses, but they did not Kelp me.\"Laat summer, while living tempor- arly in a boarding house, I found the very weak coffee a thing to complain of,\u2019 till suddenly 1 discovered that my Blind spells\u2019 were becoming less frequent.I then satisfied myself by experiments that it was coffee that was deranging my optic nerves.\u201cA friend advised me to try Postum coffee, and although I had no faith in it, I began to use it.In three days\u2019 time the \u2018blind spells\u2019 completely ceased, \u2018Going back to the.old coffee the biind \u2018spells\u2019 returned.I am entirely satisfied that coffee was the cause of the aliment, and that Postum was its cure.\u201d Name given by Postum Co.Battle Creek, Mich.There's a reason.Coffee is a nar- cotlq, tht

MoGill University, in his paper, which was read at the St.James\u2019 Literary Society last evening.The professor in the course of the paper, which contained many interest- Ing and novel points, refuted the - thusian theory that poverty was due to the increase of population, out of proportion to the increase in the wealth of the community.His contention was that poverty was due to a lack of in- dividdal efficiency, and the unegudi conditions of the social system.In spite of the increase of wealth, he stated, cut of proportion to population, owing to the scientific inventions of the nineteenth century for facilitating the means of production, two or three per cent.of the people were always in a destitute condition.\u2019 LL ee \u2014 Albert Brown Recovering.Albert Brown wes

on his trip to udson\u2019s Bay and the northern is- nds, on the steamship Neptune, de- \u2018ered last evening, in the hall of the Atura} History Society, University Street, was largely attended, and well \u2018received.© Mr.Low was the officer In command \u2018©?the expedition, despatched to those fAesolate waters by the Doininion Government, and the party had some exciting experiences, e Neptune, having on board Mr.Low and his party.which Included a Body of the North-West Mounted ollce, left Halifax hurbour on August 3rd last, and after an uneventful voy- Age along the eastern coast of Nova ficotia and Newfoundland.etc., entered the bay and proceeded to Blackhead.where they found the first settlement of any importance.It consists of sume dozen sinali buildings, and is situated on a high, barren.roeéky island, about five miles from the mainland.It is the headquarters of the Church Mission Society on Cumberland Gulf, and bas a small whaling and trading port belonging to Noble Brothers, of Dun- dec, Scotland.The whale fishery is carried on at Cumberland QGulf, and starts about October 1st, and continues until the gulf freezes solid in December.It ts not profitable, but the two rivers on the north side of the gulf, one at its head, may well be exploited, for their large quantities of arctic salmon.ommissioner Moodie, who accom- | panied the expedition, explalned its object to the station, and stated the intentions of the Government.Leaving Blackhead.the Neptune shaped her course for Cape Haven, encountering icebergs and many difficulties owing to the uncertain character of the banks and shoals, which were previously unknown.Near Charles Island they an- chared to hunt walrus for dog food, and it proved most exciting sport, At Cape Fullerton they went into winter quarters.The American whaling schooner Era was also there.The monotony of the -winter evenings was relleved bÿ games, readings, a weekly lecture on Wednesdays, and a dance on Thursdays.The crew of the Era gave thelr dance on Saturday evenings.The principal work was haull- ing ice for water and keeping the ship clear of snow, while the leisure daylight was spent in hunting and visiting tox traps.There were two deaths, both from insanity.\u2018The party left Cape Fullerton on July 18 and returned to Port Rurwell, where the Erik.the relief ship.met them.After receiving their supplies, they left for their northern cruise to the coast of Greenland and the northern islands.In Smith's Sound, near n place called Etah, were evidences of the disasters of earller arctic expeditions, amongst them the grave of Soutag and the wreck of the Petris.etc.The Neptune returnéd to Fullerton, and then to Port Burwell, where they arrived October 1, and righted the Arctic, which brought the welcome news that they were ordered home.They left Port Burwell October 4, and after a fair passage along the Labrador Coast, reached Shateau, where the first announcement of thelr return to civili- gation was made.On October 11 they landed at Halifax.after an absence & year and fifty-one days.during which they steamed over 10.000 miles, through Arctic seas, often covered with thick streams of ice, The lecturer told many interesting Stories of whalers he had met.the collection of customs dues.etc.in Cumberland Gulf and life among the Equl- mos.Dr.Adams presided, and the lecture Was

house.kept by a man named Malondi Antonio, was raided by the police last night.and eleven men and two women were ar- tested.It is sald that a number of complaints have been made agalnst the place by men who say they were ] robbed there.When the police put in an appearance, the inmates showed signs of fight, but they were soon con- winced that it was better to submit.To-day they all pleaded guilty when brought before the Recorder, and they were remanded for trial.Marie Pelletier was fined fifty dollars and costs, or three months.by the Recorder to-day, for keeping a disorderly house on Vitre street.The inmates escaped with small fines.Canada Life Assurance Co.Constant.growth as well as unsur- ssed security seems a characteristic of the Canada Life.Within the last twenty years its assurances in force have trebled, and now amount to over $100,000,000.During the same period the assets have quadrupled.standing fn 1905 at over $29,000,000.The statement published elsewhere makes clear that the Canada Life's policy reservas are $3,000,000 stronger than the present government requirement.This means that no further change in reserve basis will be necessary, probably for generations.As was pointed out at the annual meeting by the president, Hon.Senator Cox, the accumulation, of this large fund has necessarily reduced \u2018Taf the time being the dividends on old policies.But the absolute security rf ta policyholders has rightly enough een the company's first consideration.Then, too, as further pointed out by the president, old policyholders will always enjoy what are practically guaranteed dividends, on account of the considerably lower premium cost of their policies as compared with \u2018those more recently issued.Some idea ft what the Canada Life's work has mésnt to this country may be gather- od fron the fact that since, its Incep- ton the company has actually paid \u2018out or credited to policyholders over $7,000,000 more than it has received

entering Into negotiations for taking over the Windsor Hotel.According Lo present plans, the hotel will then be operated on the European plan.Ouly a short time since the directors of the Windsor Hotel Company met to consider the advisability of erecting an extension over the Windsor Hall to be run on the European pian, while maintaining the Américan plan in the hotel as it exists to-day.The meeting adjourned, however, without reaching any definite decision.In canvassing the situation, certaln of those interested in the scheme for Improving hotel fucilities here, have come to the conclusion that the dual sy3temn might not work as satisfactor- {ly as had been anticipated.Convinced of this prominent local capitalists, it is suid, set avout the formation of a syndicate to take over .e Windsor Hotel.The promoters of the undertaking say that when all the Iniprovements they contemplate have been made the Windsor wlll be, in all respects, one of the finest hostelrles in the world.\"When approached on the subject of a change of management, Mr.W.S.Weldon, the present manager, to-day refused to either confirm or deny the report.He added, however, that he had not seen any body about recently who seemed extremely anxious to invest money in an hotel enterprise.Some of the stock holders, interviewed on the subject, stated that, so far, they had not been approached on th2 subject.The late Mr.J.F, Wilson.(Sce also page twelve.) NA.GOIN SATISFIED WITH THE SOLUTION While the crisis at Quebec is ended, the comment on the settlement is still rife on the street, and among those who take an Interest in politics.Mr.Gouin, when eeen by a Star reporter to-day, said: \u201cA settlement has been reached that is satisfactory to both parties.\u2018That Is all there is to say.\" Among those who supported Mr.Parent, however, there is a certain feeling that the bolters have not won all they expected to.For a long time the Gouin-Turgeon supporters would have nothing to do with conciliation.They declared loudly and with great insistence that Parent must go, and go at once, that no form eof conolliation would be considered by them.Then they dug up a statute, under which they argued that Premier Parent, by Accepting office under the Federal Government, had disqualified himself from sitting in the Quebec Legislative Assembly.; Following these declarations and moves came the call to Mr.Turgeon to visit the Lieutenant-Governor.Then Messrs.Gouin and Welr were summoned to Quebec, and they, too, were called to Spencerwood, where they had an interview with the direct representative of Hig Majesty.The Lieutenant- Govemior is sald to have advised the ex-Ministers that if Premier Parent was defeated on the speakership vote in the House on March 2nd, and asked for a dissolution, His Honour \u201ccould not very well refuse it.DID NOT WANT DISSOLUTION.A dissolution was the last thing in the world which these gentlemen desired, for they would have to go before the province with their tongues tied by the order of the Lieutenant- Governor, who would not allow their explanations to be made public.They wera thus forced into accepting the terms which Mr.Parent imposed.They must allow him to meet the House On March 2nd, with such Ministers as he would, choose in the meantime, It was arranged that the Ministers would not have to stand for re-election for the present, and that as the Preniler\u2019s health was bad, he would retire after a time, when the Lieutenant-Governor could call on Mg.Gouin to form \u2018a new Government.The new Government would have Mr.Gouln as head, with the portfollo of Colonization and Publle Works, while Mr.Turgeon would have that of Crown Lands, Mr.Weir would naturally expect to be rade Treasurer, but it is hardly expected that Mr, Mc- Corklll, after resigning his seat in the Legislative Council, because it- was represented to him by Hon, 8, N.Parent and Hon.Sydney Fisher that thers was no English-speaking member of the House quaiified to secept the portfolio

M.\u2014Premier Parent left for Montreal this afternoon, whither Messrs.Archambault and Monet preceded him, and it 1s possible that a Cabinet meeting may be held there tomorrow.The Premier's present trip 18 not, however, so much for business as to consult a specialist again about his throat, which is giving him a good deal of trouble still.Referring to this trouble to-day he declared to a friend that It was quite Impossible for him in his present state of health to long retain the Premiership.He will meet the House, however, next Thursday, as he always sald he would.More than this he would not say.To all the newspaper men he had nothing to say more than that an understanding had been arrived at Between the {wo factions of the Liberal party in the House, but that all the conditions are confidential and that the leaders ot both sides, who have been brought to the arangement, have pledged themselves to secrecy.Mr.Turgeon was also seen and made a similar statement.THE PROGRAMME.The actual condition of affairs is nevertheless as follows: Mr.Parent will meet the House uext Thursday as Premier.This is absolutely certain, unless something quite unforeseen should occur in the meantime.It is equally certain that not one of the lately resigned ministers will rejoin his Cabinet.Every attempt to bring this about has absolutely failed.Hon.Mr.Monet will enter the House as acting Minister or Administrator of Public Works, and Hon.Nemese Gar- neau, M.L.C., will take Mr.Turgeon's department as Minister of Agriculture, it he ts willing to do so.He has the offer of it and was to have been sworn to-day, but though he visited the Parliament House, he did not take the cath.One of his friends said subsequently that he had declined the offer and that Mr.Parent would have to look elsewhere for a Minister of Agriculture.Another said that Mr.Gar- neau would probably be sworn next week, Mr.Germain himself would say nothing.Mr.Monet has already accepted the administration of the public works \u2018department, and has.taken the oath of office, but without salary.This Is to prevent the voiding of his seat and the necessity for reelection, which would have followed the acceptance of a position of emolument under the crown.VACANCIES FILLED TEMPORA- It was well understood that the va- canclés in the Cabinet are being filled though only temporarily with the de- who, having been asked by Mr.Parent for delay for the express purpose of ain them now naturally Insists that this must be done.An interesting.detail of the negotiations concerning this delay hae leaked out.Mr.Parent asked the Lisut.-Governor for & prorogation of the House till March 22.The Order- \u2018| in-Council to this effect was prepared.When it was found that the Lieut.- Governor was not dis to grant 80 long a delay, another order was prepared delaying the opening of the ses- ston till the 6th of March only.As the three new Ministers resigned on the 3rd of February, and their resignations were accepted on the 4th, the agreement of the Governor to a delay in opening the House till the 6th of March would have made it impossible for these Ministers to have returned to the Government within thirty days of thelr resignation in the event of Mr.Parent's defeat on the Speakership election and consequent resignation, and unless they were able to do this they would have to go to their constituents for re-elecotion,this causing more probable delay in proceeding with the business of the session.It is reported that Mr, Parent was told: By the Lieutenant-Governor that as twenty-three days sufficed for him to dissolve the Assembly last November and to elect the whole House, twenty-six ought to be long enough in which to select and re-elect two or three Ministers, and the date of the opening was thereupon fixed as it now stands.Mr, Parent's opponents still insist that his supporters are a minority of the House.They have agreed that Mr.Parent shall propose the name of .the Speaker-elect, but they Lave selected lt for him, and Mr.August E.Tessier, M.I.A.for Rimou- ski, Is the selection.Within a brief period of \u201cthe opening Mr.Parent will retire to go South for his health, and either Mr.Gouin or Mr.Archambault will be the new Premier.MR.MONET TO DISAPPEAR.Mr.Monet and his new colleague wlll then disappear.The new Government will contain all Mr.Parent's old rolleagues, with the possible exception ot Mr.Robitailla, whose friends think he may voluntarily retire on account of Impaired hearing, If only one new Minister should be\u201drequired it will probably be Mr.Rodolphe Roy, M.L.A.for Kamouraska, law partner of Hon.Mr.Robitaille, who may possibly also remain.Lieutenant-Governor Jette has also left for Montreal {LARGE CROWDS ATTEND EXHIBITION

MUNICIPALITIES OBJECT Company Would Spend About Million Dollars In Fitting Up the Property.The Rallway Commission is holding ita first sitting in Montreal to-day, to consider the application of the Grand Trunk Raliway for land to extend its freight terminals at Notre Dame de Grace, between Cote St.Paul and Cote St, Pierre.Former Chlef Justice Killam presides over the court, and with him on the bench are Hon.M.E, Bernier and Mr, J.H.Mills, the other commissioner.Mr.Eugene Primeau, joint secretary of the commission, ig acting as clerk of the court, while Mr.Butcher, of Ottawa, ls taking the evidence.The Grand Trunk is applying for the expropriation of lamd now occupled by the city of St.Henri, and the town of St Cunegonde as a dumbing ground, and a portion of the property of Mr.J.E.Beaudoin, which Is now being likewise used by the two corporations for dumping purposes, The company has another application before the commission tor a plot of land.four acres long, now owned by the Electric Fireproofing Company, to gain access to the siding on the bank of the Lachine Canal, and to the works being constructed by the Canada Car Works.All the parties mentioned above are opposing the application of the Grand Trunk.The town corporations, represented by Mr, Louls Coderre and Mr.F.X, Dupuis, MLA, respectively, ag well as Mr.J.E.Beau- Join, represegted by Messrs, Gouin and Brassard, contend that the land is now being used for the purposes of public convenience, and Is necessary for the preservation of the health of the population of St.Henri and St.Cunegonde.The Electric Fireproofing Company.represented by Mr, C, A.Duclos, KC.contends that the expropriation sought for is not necessary to rallway company, and will seriously inconvent- ence the opposants in carrying out thelr business.FOR FREIGHT TERMINALS, Superintendent Blaicklock, who \u201cwas examined on behalf of the Grand Trunk by Mr.Mahlon K.Cowan, K.C., declared that the Grand Trunk Railway Company intended to establish {ts freight terminals on the territory, which {t sought to expropriate.The company wants an acre and a half of land.to furnish accommodation for 7,- 500 cars, besides providing tracks for operation, round houses, and other building necessary.The freight terminals at Point St Sharies.having become too small, it had e necef- sary to extend the yards, and this spot had been chosen as the best.sides, by establishing tae yards, the company would be ridding the nef bdrhood of a nuisance in the shape ot a dump.The witness was cross-examined at | some length by Messrs.Dupuis, Coderre % er ager «nd 'Goüiln, on Densif of ness as to thé time when the plans for these extensions had been prepared, and elicited the information that they had been under study before the Canada Car Company bought the property it now owns in July or August last.Mr.Blaicklock admitted that the Can- adn Car Company's works could be reachéd, without cutting across the land, owned by the Electric Fireproofing Company, but it would necessitate a considerable detour.The Grand Trunk would spend in the neighborhood of a miHion dollars, in fitting the property for freight terminal purposes.MANY ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN The North American Life Assurance Company's attempt to have a post-mor- tem performed on the body of the late Colbert O.Grothe, who dled some weeks ago, has already given rise to several actions, and more are likely to follow, Before the Practice Court to-day, Mr.L.A.Bedard, Clerk of that Court, reported that he had carried out the orders of the court.He had proceeded \u2018the General Hospital, where the body had been removed, and having secured the assistance of Mr.Wiliam Wray, with a hearse and a carriage, he had, in company with Dr.Duncan MacTaggart, official autopsist, proceed.el to the Cote des Neiges cemetery, where they had seen the coffin containing the remains, replaced in the vault from which it had been taken.Meantime the North American Lite Assurance Company, through ita attorneys, Messrs.ua, Holt and Tansey, has taken action against Mr.Lamothe, the assignee of the 35.000 policy, to have the policy annull- , Mr.the in turn will take out an action against the company, to recover the amount of the insurance, \u201c ANOTHER ACTION TAKEN, The Dominion Life Assurance Company, which also carried $5,000 insurance on the life of the late Mr.Groths, has Ifkéwise taken action against Mr Felix I.Larose, to whom the policy was assigned by the déceased, for the purpose of annulling the policy.Mr, Larose, through his attorneys, Messrs.Greenshields, Greenshields, Macalister and Languedoc, has taken an action to recover the amount of the policy, It is stated that similar actions by other companies will follow, and they, will

resolutely on the constitutional principle that the public lands should belong to the province within which they He.One of hig tllustrations is especially cogent.The Government wil] hold a conference to decide the apportidn- ment of the lands adjacent to Hudson Bay.Suppose that Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec each receives an accession of territory.The older provinces would get with the teceitory the land, timber, minerals\u2014 ove thing.Saskatchewan would get pièce of territory peculiarly difficult ana expensive to administer.and nothing else.Any development work which it would undertake would, increase the revenues of the Dominlon without bringing any direct financial benefit tol itself.The people of the new provinces have a right to the public lands, irrespective of whatever financla] arrangements, liberal or niggardly, the Ottawa Government may .choosp to make.This position Mr.uftain The Western Con- take the same holds energetically.servative members view.; THE SCHOOL QUESTION.\u201cOn the school question Mr, Haul- tain is prepared to take exception to the proposal of the Dominion Government.He cannot be accused of having raised the Issue to embarrass the Government.At the same time his draft bill, which expressed his idea of the constitution which should be granted to the West, was so phrased as to leave education wholly within the jurisdiction of the province, and is has been his position throughout the negotiations.The fact that the clause remains in a somewhat fluid condition probably prevents him from expressing himself definitely; but it may be surmised that he will enter a strong protest against the whole proe Ject, and will in particular fight with every resource the second section of the clause, which is new, an% which may be noted: In the appropriation of public moneys by the Legislature in ald of; education, and in the distribution of any moneys pald to the Government of a province arising from the school fund established by the Dominion Lands Act, there shall be no discrim- Ination between the public schools and the separate schools, and such moneys shall be applied to the support of public and separate schools in equitable shares or proportions, DIVISION OF SCHOOL FUNDS, \u201cMr.Haultain's point is that even if .Parliament does.impose Separate Schools upon the provinces, the ineer- tion of such a stipulation is a groes infringement of provincial powers.The Territories have made an equitable division of public funds heretofore, without being compelled to do so by a clause in a Dominlon Act.Such matters of detail should assuredly be left to the new provinces.If the Dominion is to prescribe the terms on which they ase to administer thelr school funds, why not go all the way and provide a pet of school regulations?Or why not provide them with a model Appropriation Act?\u201cAs for the general aspect of the matter, Mr.Haultaln holds nipat the most efficlent safeguard of the' Separate Schools is to leave the question to the provinces.Existing conditions aye an indication of the Judiclous manner in which the question has been handled so far, and there assuredly _is no intention of depriving the minority of the privileges they enjoy.On the other hand, to bind the provinces, to impose upon their powers a limitation which the people will feel to be un- Just, will be to rouse a apirit far more dangerous to the minority than any danger which would be removed by the insertion of a guarantee ih the DR.GOLDWIN SMITH, Toronto, Ont, February 24.\u2014 Dr.Golawin Smith has expressed on autonomy in
