is the sort of masterstroke that nelther he nor Nogi or both would fervently attempt.\u201cStill, let it not be forgotten that Kuropatkin is a hard fighter and a ant general, L ho I hold to have made the very possi le use of the méans at his disposal\u201d MORE DESPERATE FIGHTING WAS AT DIUSHANTUN.Mukden, Thursday, March 9.\u2014The Japanese last night pushed up from the south across the abandoned plain between the Shakhe River and the Hun, and are, as this despatch ie filed, about five miles south of the latter stream.From the Hun opposite Ma- chiapu and northward Japanese bat- {* teries are pouring in a ceaseless fire.They succeeded in emplacing siege guns and mortars in Diushantun.about six miles west of this city, whence they opened fire before dawn.Diushan- tun was the scene of the bloodiest and most desperate fighting of all thie terrible battle.Its possession was vital to the Japanese, who stormed it again and again.The Russians distodged them, but the Japanese finally recaptured etn Plage after much band-to-hand Eve witnesres way the dead scattered In the streets, court-yards and houses have been unburied for four days.Rifles and other arms Me about wrenchied and twisted.Hand grenadas were thrown by the Japanese and the garrison was subjected to the concentrated fire of as many as a hundred guns.Diushantun, once in the hands of the Japanese, they could train gune on Mukden raliroad station, and there- fare the Russians have been holding ft at a frightful cost.« The Japanese are ally concentrating the forts about 7 miles north of Muk- den and about five miles west of the raflway with the object of breaking Whrough and Satung off the surround- ey nding.PT bas been rag- daylight and the day promises to witness a most gruesome encounter, whe result of which no one here can foreste.CHINESE HAVE LOST FAITH IN RUSSIANS.Pekin, March 10.\u2014The results of the recent fighting in Manchuria have made considerable of an impression in diplo- malic circles here, and even the most sunguine pro-ltussians have been forced to admit that the prospects fur Russian success are discouraging.From a ltussian point of view, it was expected that after the winter oy passed the Russian armies reinfor would avenge their reverses und retrieve their fallen fortunes.The recent defeat has shattered this, hope and il is generally believed that.the end of the war is not far distant.The chief shipping firms of Tien Tsin have approached the Briush authorities advocaling active measures against the danger frum floating mines in the gulf of Pechill.The British authorities communicated\u201d with Yuan Sha] hal, Viceroy of Chill province, usking for his co-vperation in the work of destruction, suggesting that he send a Chinese man of war to assist, Vice-Admiral Noel, in command of the British fieet on the China station, who was communicated with, 18 very desirous that all the authorities cordially co-uperale us the passage of the northern walers is attended with considerable danger.FOUR RUSSIAN SHIPS ARE INCAPACITATED.London, March 10.\u2014According to the St.Pctersburg correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, a telegram from Vice- Admiral Rojestvensky, not yet published, states that four of his warships ure incapacitated for firing because they are too heavily armed, and that the problem of cualing has become so difficult that he feurcd he would be unable to procevd lo the Fur East.No further news has reached London concerning Rojestvensky's squadron, but reports are current at Dover that all the ships of the Baltic fleet have been ordered to return to the English chaune} pending further instructions, SITUATION AS VIEWED IN BERLIN.Berlin, March 10.\u2014 Military writers here, discussing General Kupropatkin\u2019's situation, admit its extreme seriousness, hut do not believe a New sedan \\ will foliow.They argue that the Japanese army is not strong enough in numbers to compel a surrender.Un- stinted praise is glven Feld Marshal Oyama\u2019's militury achlevement in the present battle, but it is believed that the territory over which the fighting has been going on is too enormous to expect that the Japanese seriously plan to surround the Russians, EMPEROR WILLIAM PRAISES THE JAPANESE.Berlin, March 10.\u2014Emperor Wiliam, addressing the naval recruits at Wil.helmshaven yesterday, held up the Japanese soldiers as a luminous example of patriotism and soldierly fidel- ty.KELLY BEING TRIED ON CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING T0 KILL.The trial of Edward Kelly, on a ;

Would Be $174,000.Some interesting figures have just been completed at the City Mall, In to the big sum it would take to clear the streets of the enormous amount of snow and ice which now covers them.The figures show that an average the city one hundred and forty miles of atreets.These vary In width from twenty to eighty feet.Taking an average widih of thirty feet, which 18 a most conservative one, there would be piled on the streets at the present time no less than sixty-six million five hundred and eighty-eight thousand cubic fet of snow and ice, The figures how that an average sleigh, removing the snow, carries sixty cublc feet Roughly figuring this would mean about one million, one hundred and fifty thousand loads.At in average payment of fifteen cents a load, the cost to the city would be about one hundred and sev- enty-four thousand dollars.Speaking of these figures, the City Surveyor said.\u201c1 consider {t would cost over two hundred thousand dul- lars to cart the snow from the streets and give the citizens good thoroughfares.A huge number of carters would also have to be employed to get the snow and ice carrled away before the sun comes and does the work.CONDITIONS ARE HARD.\u201cOur conditions here are very Irksome in regard to spring cleaning.In the first place, even if we hud the two hundred thousand to spend on remuv- ing the snow, we could not pretend to get, in Montreal, sufficient carters to do the work.Advertisements would have to be put in the papers asking carters to come to Montreal from other cities, \u201cUnless the snow fs removed from all the streets, as it falls.there is lit tle use in endéavoring to have a spring clean up.In a few hours of aunshine more snow will be melted and carried away by the sewers than hundreds of carters could dispose of.These are conditions which the pub- Uc ought to keep in mind when the spring comes.I know the streets are not what they should Le.I have shown that {f there are to be good

Committee, who had seen the figures In question, said Ît was true that the consolidated debt of the city should never have been run up to twenty- eight milltons of dollars.It was the interest charges of this large sum which consumed the revenue, It should be remembered by the citizens that the present administration was not respons faible for this large debt\u2014a debt scarcely equalled by any city on the continent with iess than 300,000 of a population.What cltizens ought to do was to face the music and decide that the real estate tax should be somewhat increased.Until this action was taken, there could be no possible betterment in present conditions.MR.EDWARD TERRY A GREAT ATTRACTION.His Known English Actor at Majesty's Next Week.The Canadian tour of Edward Terry, the English

will commence at His Majesty's Theatre on Monday night.March 13th, lasting for a week, and including two matinees, one on Saturday and a special oue on St Patrick's Day.In a recent interview upon

a half millions.Out of this sum has to be paid one milifon four hundred thousand In interest charges.| Then there has to Le pd out a nil.lion in salaries.Finally, the fire, police and other À

have AN EASY WAY : To Keep Well.It Is easy to keep well if we would only observe each day a few simple rules of health.The all important thing {8 to keep the stomach right, and to do this it is not necessary to diet or to follow a set rule or bill of fare.Such pampering simply makes a capricious appetite and | a feeling that certain favorite articles of food must be avoided.Prof.Wiechold gives pretty good advice on this subject.He says: \u2018I am 68 years old, and have never had a serious iliness, and at the same time my life has been largely an indoor one, but I early discovered that the way to keep healthy was to keep a healthy stomach, not by eating bran crackers or dleting of any sort; on the contrary 1 always eat what my appetite craves, but dally for the past eight years I have made it a practice to take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- leta after each meal and I attribute my robust health for a man of my age to the regular dally use of Stuart's Tablets.My physician first advised me to use them because he said they were perfectly harmless and were not a secret patent medicine, but contained only the natural digestives.peptones nnd diastase, and after using them a few weeks 1 have never ceased to thank him for his advice.I honestly belleve the habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is the real health habit, because their use brings health to the sick and aling and preserves health to tha well and strong.\u2019 Men and women past Afty years of age need a safe digestive after meals to insure a perfect digestion and to ward off disease, and the safest, best known and most widely used is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.They are found In every well regulated household from Maine to California and in Great Britain and Australia are rapidly pushing their way into popular favor.All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, tull sized packages at b0 cents, and for a weak stomach a fifty cent package will often do fifty dollars worth of good, »

fur.not being members ot the fumily, ihey do not Nesitate to employ the ugly word \u201chypocrisy.\u201d In this case, however, we:'had.better speak OF Ji-as an.af~ § fection for an old friend.Free trade is, for this generation of liritishers, an old friend.It ig one of the fixed principles of the nation, lke the Protestant succession and the established church, Consequently it ig certiin to receive an immense amount of lip-service, But we, In Canada, who are fond of saying that we are free traders in theory and protectionists in practice, are in no such awe of Cobdenism.If; we think of deserting it, we do not mind saying so.And we grow impatient at times at what we regard as a lack of frankness in this matter | on the part of the people of the | Mother Country.There is the cattle | embargo, for instance, No Rritish Minister will call that protection.Every British Minister who rises to defend it always talks the same old feeble twaddle about having thought at one time that there was disease in Canada.Of course, lie now knows that there | was none then and is none to-day, but he has got the \u201cembargo habit in the meantima.and cannot bear tn break away from it.And all the while, everybody knows that the embargo is a protective measure of a severe sort, adopted for the benefit of the British cattle raiser.Now Chamberlainism is not protectionist.but it is against \u201cdumping.\u201d It is not protectionist; but it reeks to secure the British market for the British manufacturer.In crude Canada.it is very much to be feared that we should in our haste mistake this for protection.But it is entirely true that the British people do not.They would not hear of protection to-day, while free trade is still one of the national gods; but they will gladly hear of a plan \u201cto bind the Empire together * and to prevent the foreigner from fattening on British trade.They are stout Imperialiets and they are down on \u201cthe foreigner.\" Mr.Balfour's \u201cdefensive retaliation\u2019 fits thelr humor: but it fa doubtful whether they could have endured Sir John Macdonald's \u201creciprocity of trade or reciprocity of tariffs.\u201d The Americans were high protectionlsts; and that would look like rivalling them in evil.- Mr.Chamberlain's progress is not being won under the banner of protection.We should make no mistake on that point.He {8 winning as a practical Empire-builder and as ons who oan keep \u201cthe foreigner\u201d in his place.Incidentally, industries may be supporting him who hope to get out of Jt all what we in this country would call \u201cprotection\u201d; but if they ventured to call It \u201cprotection, * thelr support would be more damaging than beneficial.When Chamberlain finally wins=At that good time over comes\u2014 we may expect a line In the paean of peters proclaiming \u2018\u201c\u2018another victory JR Tg old, free trade.\u201d There is name in the land of a .3) : JIUVITSUISM.Our nelghbors éver the line aie the earthly £addists, and perbaps \u2018tures of ;

and there are some crimes for which the punishment should be made\u2019 as terrifying as modern standards will allow.The Toronto Globe very properly remarks that \u201cAny Mormon who is known to have In Canada two wives to whom he has been married in the United States must be prosecuted for bigamy.whether he live with both wives or not.He must be made to understand that the \u2018crime\u2019 of bigamy consists in having two wives, not in living with them.He may have ue- sertad them both and be as amenable to conviction as if he lived with both.The sooner men in this position leave Canada the better for themselves and the country.\u201d There might be some doubt whether a prosecutién for bifamy would stand, as the Mormon marriage is not a recognized marriage In either the United States or Canada.Fortunately, however, the late Sir John Thompson seemed to have thought of everything in Jhe wonder ful Criminal Code he was instrumental in giving Canada.The sub- ET Re os | Loi État to be dealt with In à most unequivocal manner, and the penalty is severe enough to have a decidedly restraining influence.Ctéerthatertretéok Nat Goodwin Much Enjoyed in \u2018\u2019The Usurper.CHOC HR HR HE HA The change of bill at His Majesty's last evening, when Mr.Nat.Goodwin and his company presented the four.act comedy drama, \u2018The Usurper, by 1d teh tbefd 154 4e 4 4 4 5 + Mr L N.Morris, resulted in u performance which seemed to charm every ane présent.The piece is not partl- culariy striking, and there is consider- uble caricature in the working out of some of the characters, but the play as a whole is pleasant, entertaining and wholesome, The plot is charmingly shnple, the action of the piece extending over but one day and the morn- Ing of the next.The unities are well observed.The various acts are intelll- gently connected and the endings are uniformly strong, novel and effective.As a whole the play is worthy of popularity and will please the average theatre-goer.Mr.Goodwin was very well received.l, in his interpretation of the part of John Maddox, a typical young American who has, after ten years of buffeting, with the world, amassed a fortune and goes to Engiand to attempt to marry 4 girl he had met West in the days of his poverty.Mr.Goodwin does full justice to the many bright lines and humorous passages provided for him.The other members of the company proved very competent.Miss Ruth Mackay, as Beatrice Clive, the young woman with whom Maddox ls Infatuated, took her part with ability: the scene in the Tower being particularly enjoyable, One of the best bits of work was by Mr.Norman Tharp, who took the part of the young Lord Dul- verton.This part was somewhat too overdrawn to suit the tastes of sorne present.but Mr.'Tharp's work was ocapitally dome and thoroughly appre- clated.The other parts were acceptably taken, T tige setting was handsome and artistic.\u201cThe Usurper™ will be repea'ed to night and Saturday evening.The cast is as foilows: John Maddox.N.C.Goodwin Basil, Lord Dulverton.Norman TI Sr George Trenery.Ellle Ror oroon Rob Quentin.Felix.Edwardes Sergeant Dale.Post Thnmens.ee Nei % Brien ew «s Ina Goldsmith Beatrice Clive.Ruth Mackay Polly Maddox.Florence Parker Rosina Briggs.Georgie Mendum Margaret Quentin.Ethe] Beale MONTREAL STEEL CO.DIVIDEND CAUSED MUCH SATISFACTION.The decision of the directors of the Montreal Steel Company, to continue the annual dividend on the common stock.brought much satisfaction when announced at the annual meeting.The company, which was organized in 1903, paid a dividend of 5 per cent.on its common stock for that year.The dividend for 1904 was postponed until the meeting of yesterday, when the dividend of 5 per cent.on the common stock was again resumed.The net earnings of the year as set forth in the Lady Dulv erton.report, read by the president, Mr.K.W.Hlackwell, who presided, amounted to $116,090 Of this $19.235 had been placed to the credit of the reserve fund, 356, had been paid in dividends, and $40,205 was placed to the credit of the profit and loss account, making, with the previous balance of $37,936, a total balance of $78,141, The election of officers resulted in the re-election of the former board as follows: \u2014 President, Mr.w.Blackwell;

latter the secretary of the engineers, suplemented the committee's statements with attacks on Mr.Stone, declaring that the local unions were quite independent of the national union in this matter.Harry Johnson, secretary of the local union of the locomotive en- Kineers, in an interview, supported Mr.Jencks, saying the men would not go back to work until they had won their point, the local union having sufi- cient money to carry on the strike without ald from the national union.So far, he said, none of the strikers had deserted.while \u2018dozens of the strike breakers had quit,

Association opened Thursday with Mr: Aubrey White, of Toronto, in the chalr.After routine the secretary, Mr.TR H.Campbell, of Ottawa, read his annual report, which expressed regret at the death of Mr.John Bertram, and other members, and reported an increase of membership from 479 to 563 during the year.The report also dealt with the\u2019 progress of forestry operations during the past year.After the reading of this report the president remarked that his annual Address was the next item on the programme, but that he was so busy a man he had been unable to prepare a written address.He would say.however, that he congratulated himself upon being president of the meeting held in the oid city of Quebec.The first real forestry movement in recent times in this country is traceable to the forestry meeting held in Montreal in 1882.Fdllowing this came the meeting in thin city of the American F Association in 1890, which was attended and addressed by Lord Stanley, now the Earl of Derby, then Governor-General.In 1900, Mr.Stewart, who Js with us to-day and has always taken a great interest in forestry matters, laid the basis of this association in the city of Ottawa.The president proceeded to trace the work of the Association since its Inception and to enlarge upon the disasters that owed forest destruction and the consequent necessity of their preservation.He described the difficulty experienced in Ontario in keeping setile- ment from lands, which were quite unfitted for it, but which contained valuable timber, In referring to the death of Mr.Bertram, he sald that his memory would always be remembered, if for novhing else, for the action taken by him in preventing the export of Canadian logs to feed rican mills.Professor F.Brock, of Queen's University, Ktñgston, then read an interesting paper on forest fires in Brit- {sh Colum At the afternoon session the nomin- arising out of the directors\u2019 report, viz.: essra.E, \u2018Stewart,

fully.Professor Roth .also spoke on thia subject, and congratulated the last speaker on his able work.Mr.T.Loggie followed, taking for his sub- jeot, \u201cForests of New Drunswick.\u201d and spoke at length, his paper causing a discussion in which several members took part.In the absence of Hon.J.W.Longley, Nova Scotia, who was to have read a paper, Dr.Robert Bell was called upon, and spoke briefly of the northern forests of the Dominion.The facts given by Dr.Bell were very instructive, and interesting.Before the adjournment of the afterncon session the president read a telegram from Senator W.C.Edwards, regretting his absence, which was due to a bad cold.The telegram, however, contained the Important intelligence that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had expressed a desire to have a large forestry convention to meet in Ottawa during the coming summer, or in the autumn, and had asked Senator Fad- wards to place the matter before the present meeting.The news was re- celved with great applause, and the Premier's action highly commended.Last evening the visiting delegates were entertained at dinner at the Chateau Frontenac, by a large number of Quebecers.; The delegates will visit

slow.br.Chamberlain, tn his position as Coionial Secretary, has done a great deal to bring the outlying portions of the British Empire together, and he is calculated to do much more, provided the people at home accord him their confidence.But the next step in advance must come from the Inhabitants of Great Britain.Canada bas already done her share.It is now for Great Britain to formulate her policy on the fiscal question.When.that is done, I have no doubt the people of Canada will give it their very best consideration, Canada, as you are well aware, was the first to offer a preference to the Mother Country, and] for that preference shé asked nothing in return.I think that you will admit that the great hulk of the people of Canada are in favour of preferential treatment tn favor of the Mother Country.But Great Britain has not yet said what policy, she will see fit to foilow.Until she has declared what concessions she is prepared to make to Canada and the Colonies (you know, we do not now refer to Canada as a Colony: she is a nation within the Empire), little mere can be done in the direction of effecting a practical solution of the problem which confronts the Empire as a whole.Mr.Chamberlain, however, does not hope to succeed at once.But he ie a very persevering and a very able man, and he: witli not give up readily.\u201d \u201cWhat are the reasons that mainly militate against the present success of | the Chamberlain movement 3\" DUTY ON BRRADSTUFFS.\u201cThere Is a great outcry against the imposition of a duty on breadstuffs,\u2019 observed Hls Lordship.\u201cA very large proportion of the people are in favor of free trade.while a great many of | them think they are tree traders.without stopping to consider what free trade means to-day in comparison with what it meant in the days of Cobden.\u201d \u201cWhat additional concessions do yon consider that we, as Canadian.should make to Great Britain, in retn for preferential treatment in her markets >\u201d asked the reporter.\u201cThat is a matter for consideration,\u201d continued His Lordship.\u2018If the people of Canada are desirous of prefer- entlal tradé\u2014that fs.domestic preferential trade\u2014the whole question will have to be very fully debated on ail sides, before we can arrive at a position to decide just on what artities a mutual preference can be giver to the mutual advantage of all parties con: cerned.It is a very complex question, and one not to be approached lightly.The manufacturers of Canada certainly wish to be in a position to produce their goods, and to sell to advantage as well às dô the manufac: turers of Great Britain.Here you have interests that may be adjusted.| but which will only be adjusted arter | a great deal of negotiation.So that, you will see there are many considerations entering into a solution of the question\u2014so many in fact as to pte- clude the possibifity of my anawering your question with anything like\u2019

are quite a number cf people out of employment.\" replied Lord Strathcona, \u201cbut that 6 always ths case.Much of -the poverty and misery in the past has been ocoasioned by the influx of paupers into the British Iales.Steps are shortly to be taken, ! undur- stand, to put a stop to that condition of affairs.There will shortly be !piro- duced into the Imperial House, an allen bill that will put a stop to the inroads of those who, however deplorable may be their condition in their own land, can scarcely, under the circumstances, look for any great - provement in Great Britain.There Can be little doubt that the depres- ston in business at home has had the effect of turning the attention of a great many desirable people in the direction of Canada, and a very large Increase in hnmigration may be looked for during the present season, and that of a most desirable class, 1 cannot help remarking.that we have encountered much difficulty in making the people of Great Britain l understand the significance of à coyn- try such as this even with all that we have done to bring its advantages to their attention the people as a whole + have very little idea of its advantages.But that is a condition of things what may be overcome in time, ro that we couraged.\u201d MEDIATION ON WAR.\u201cDo you cohsider that there is any chance of mediation occurring in the case of the present

of the Interested parties, or by both.The Japanese are wonderful people, and the situation, as it is to-day, is one fraught with considerable significance,\u201d \"What is your opinion of Dr.Osler's dictum, that a man who has achieved nothing before he has reached the age of forty can scarcely be-expected to achieve anything afterward?\u201d \u201cThere is a good deal in that.The years mase prolific In achievements are those glorious years known as the twenties and thirties.But too much m: \u2018 not be expected of a general st sent of that description.\u2018There ire #!ways exceptions

Science faculty at McGill a pre eminerice which is unchallenged in th country, and wlll, perhaps, pars not unfavorably with the scien stitution In the world.now that Sir William's benefactions in the

county of Champlain, has.alread \u2018heard three witnesses in the tnques and to-day he re-opened the enquiry.Mrs.Sclater and her sister-in-law, Mrs.Geo.Skeene, were heard as witneases.Their evidence was calculated to convey the idea that death was due to suicide, but the fact that five bullets were fir seems to contradict that theory,\u201d According to the evidence of Dr.Philippe Quesnel, the first shot appears to be that which entered the brim of the hat and going through the hat band grazed the skull, coming out through the crown.This shot appears to Dave been fired from behind while the deceased was In a stooping posture.Two bullets appear to have entered, one below the fourth and the other above the fifth rib, while a fifth bullet was fi from behind.In their course, one of these bullets pierced the heart, another pierced the left lung and fractured the vertebrae, while that fired from behind also broke the spinal cord.STORY OF SCLATER'S WIFE.A The story told by-the women {a

will remove the objection to doing su made hy them yesterday by withdrawing his actions of damages lying against them in the courte.When the committee assembled today, Mr.Parent referred to the declarations made by the two Senators to the effect that kaving pleaded in court to the Premier's actions against them they would not repeat their charges before the committee.Mr.Parent declared to

Montreal Power Conspicuous Feature and Strong in Price\u2014Nova Scotia Steel Only Weak Spot.FORENOON STOCK REPORT The stock market was bigger.hroader and more buoyant than ever to-day, and ft la quite the most interesting of the year.In some câses prives have gone we 1 above the high level of 190 and as for Canadian Pacific it has surpassed all records, and to-day stands at the record.Owing to the revival of public interest, traders on the floor have been given n much wider scope for thelr operations, ro that with the two combined the lst of transactions showed great extension.Ca- dâdian Pacific, Montreal Strest, Montreal Power, Richelieu, Detroit United.Twin City and Dominion Iron issues were all prominent And strong as Le tone.NOVA SCOTIA WEARER.The only exception to the general tendency was again Nova Scotia Steel, which went off to a fresh low level for the year at 62 to 61%.The concluding transactions yesterday were at 63 As the time ap- ches for the announcement of the company's dividend policy the (veling in the \u2018\u2019Bireet\u201d seems tu be pessimistic, IL ig probable, however, in view of the large short interest reported that the creation of this impression has underlying ft the ulterior purpose usually credited speculative position.Great interest was manifested in the further advance of two points in Canadian Pacifle.carrying the price up to HN, after opening at 147%.Yesterday's highest was 1464.Frivate scrip changed hands at 146 to 147, and the new stuck rose to 1467, compared with I40', yvs- terday al the close.PACIFIC PRIVATE SCRIP.There have been so many enquiries respecting the meaning of the term \u2018\u2019private scrip\u2019 as applied to Canadian l'a- cific stock, that it may be well to explain the matter here Private scrip Is made out in the name of an individual Instead of In the name of a broker or brokerage firm, and on that account is not available, according to the rules, for transfer through the clearing house of the stock exchange.The stock has to be transferred 10 a stock broker before it can be put through.That in itself would not be a matter of much consequence, were it not tor the faut that the compuny's transfer books are iow closed, ard will not be reopened until the first of April.In conse- quunce, all this private scrip has to be held over until the books are re-opened, and in the meantime brokers have 10 se- other stock for delivery.The inability to transfer this stock and 1he confusion !t creates in making deliveries aocounts for the price ranging about a t below the stock which is available or delivery., POWER AND STREET.The dealings in Montreal Street at 218 to 120 were the largest in many months.whlle the price ia tho highest of the year.In Power the dealings were heavy, and the opening price was a full point up at 5914.© most extravagant! bull reports filter Into the exchange, and, according to the [most of them, tho price is to go to 100 in à month or so, and to 150 in a year.In connectipn with the buoyancy, ded} is heard of à probable increase in the dividend rate from the 4 per cent.at resant in force to 6 per cent., but there a good deal of difference of opinion us to \u201cwhether the next quarterly dividend will be 1% per cent.or that which follows for the first quarter of tbe next fiscal year, the present fiscal year ending on April 30.DEVELOPED EASIER TURN.After selling at 89% to 89% during the early trading, the price developed an ens- ter turn, and worked down to SX.but closed stronger at 85%.Although the trading in Richelieu was not heavy, the price ruse to 70, the highest on the movement, compared with vs at rhe close yesterday.he traction issuce were exceptionally ny, Detroit United rose to 524, and Fin City recovered to 109%, after closing at 109 yesterday.Toronto Railway at 107%, and Toledo, at 26ly, were also to a he \"Dominion Iron issues also displayed strength, although they wure not so active as others.The bonds sold up to »5, and the preferred touched a new high level on the movement at 744, while the common sold at 244 to 24%.MORNING TRANSACTIONS, Camdian Pacific\u2014100 at 147, 300 at 14714, 100 at

way.The company is accord- Ingly exercising Hs right under the deed of hypothec to buy back this issue at the rate of 105 per cent, and holdera are asked to present their holdings for redemption on or before the first of July next.The bonds about to be redeemed.tt is stated, were not largely distributed, but were mostly held by banking Institutions and bond houses.It was stat:d thal not so very long ago these bonds might have been secured by purchusers at 90.Bur- prise was experienced in some quarters that the company did not take advantage of the low price to buy, but it is pointed out that probably only a small proportion of the issue could have been obtalned ad those figures, and once the companys intentions became known, holders would at once advance their price.It is also stated that the low pric® mentioned doubtless existed only prior to the formulation of the ent plans which neces- altated the redemption of the Issue.BANK OF ENGLAND DISCOUNT RATE.London, March 10.\u2014 The

Eastern Ontario, in which a young man met hls death from the stroke of a stick while in pursul! of the puck, has brought ihe present conditions attaching to this winter pastime prominently befure the attention of louvers of clean sport.Principal Peterson.of McGill University, whose career a8 a college man and as an Instructor in higher institutions of learning in the Old Country, may be taken as an Impartial and capable Judge, his experiences having brought him Into close touch with thousands of young men, who, having forsaken the athletic arena provided by the college campus, subsequently entered the wider lista provided by a cominerctal or professional career.IMPROVEMENTS NECESSARY, Dr.Peterson is convinced that three improvements are necessary in hockey, which\u2019he characterizes as the most exciting pastime that he has ever witnessed, before It can be considered to be altogether devold of objectionable feu- tures.Some players, in the first Instance, he points out, must be Impressed with the fact that it is neither a fair thing nor a reputable thing to steal a mean advantage, by breaking the regulations.In the second place, the desire which sometimes shows it- | self to get even with an adversary for some real or supposed injury should be discouraged.The man who was tripped at hockey did not always wait lu consider whether the injury was Intentional, or unintentionai.The whole idea was to get back at the adversary.The thifd requisite was the insistence on the part of the referee of a cleaner game.A game of hockey veryo ften depended for its whole character on the strictness and Impartiality of the referee, with whom the great mass of the spectators usually sympathized as one.who had to tackle an almost impossible task.Upon the referee devolved the duty of discouraging rough play, and yet it is sald that the appointment of a referee sometimes wins or loses a match.\u201cOf course,\u201d remarked the Principal.alluding to the fatality that occurred a week since, \u201caccidents happen In sports at they happen everywhere.The fact that a man is killed in some strenuous game.whether jt be football or whatever {it may be, mdy be a mere accident.He may burst a blood vessel.for example.To these regrettable accidents, when they do happen, no blame is to be attached.TAKES SEVERE VIEW.\u201cFor my own part 1 take dhe very severest view possible of dertain features of hockey, and also football, as it is sometimes played.I think that, there are some things about Canadian hockey.for example, \"that might be held to pui it outside the pale of civilized games.The amount of foul play that is indulged in by some players is a great blot upon the whole game.And IL ls not only the foul play: it is the spirit.of the thing that should call for publi¢ reproof.I am a great admirer of the game, but.under existing cireum- stances, I should hesitate to go again.\u201cBoth sides zo on the ice In the gplirit of combatants, and with some at least of the players part of their object it is to evade the regulations, and if one man on one side succeeds In breaking the regulations undiscovered, the whole ambition of his opponent is too often.\u2014 though I do not say always\u2014io retaliate.DEPENDS ON REFEREE.\u201cAnd, then.everything depends on the referee and his views as to the amount of rough play that will be permitted.The consequences are that players, both at football and hockey.are constantly being ruled off.That is a phenomenon, which I was told the other day by one who knows, is of quite rare occurrence, even in the Maritime Provinces, which bas been powerfully influenced by British traditions of sportsmanship.In other parts of the wa-ld, the man ruled off is a marked man because he has done something improper.Here \u201cruling off\u201d is taken more or less as a matter of course.RULED OFF FOR LIFE.\u201cInstead of ruling off for the rest of & game, the man who raises his stick to strike an adversary should be Tuled eff for the rest of his life.H: is unfit to play the game because he finds it impossible to keep his temper in check.Public opinion should assert itself upon this evil, which calls for the inost vigorous action.If regulations could be framed, so that those who take the game In that reprehensible spirit might be ruled off permanently, It would be for the good of the men, for the good of clean sport, and for the good of our national games.\u201cWe ought to do our best to rescue + : tices of the past.PROMINENT EDUCATIONALITS TELL.THE STAR HOW THE GAME OF Hovey TO CANADIAN SPORTS our young men from this spirit of keen Dbrofessionalism.The whole idea at present is-not the game but the winning of the game.That is reully at the root of the evil.low far we may have succeeded in guarding against such a spirit at MeGill ft is not for vert to say.All true sportsimèn, wKeréte found, should bend their energies tn- wardg eradicaling the evil, w hich admits of no qualliication Whatever.SUPT.ARTHY'S OPINIONS.Superintendeut Arthy, of the Protestant Schoo] Board 18 of the opinion that athletic pastimes, us they are Lursued on this side of the water, have a somewhat brutalizing tendency.Mr.Arthy sald he did not conceive that a verdict of murder could bw returned against the unfurtunate youth who hud been the prime instrument ia the affair, at Muxville.\u2018The worst that one cotild say is that it was accidentol homicide.Loney had nu intention of Rilling his opponent; that can be taken for granted.He was merely more unfortunate than other participants in Canadian sports, many of whom have been known to act with even greated brutality.\u201cThat being the case.he sald, \u201cI can see no reason why Loney shouid be made a scapegoal\u2014an example.Doubtless the incident will have the effect of teaching players greai- er care in the use they make of their sticks in lacrosse and hockey.Loney sheuld not be made to atone for all the vicious prac- If It had not come fo be recognized as ulimost the proper thing to do\u2014to pul y.@ capable opponents out of busluess, as rapidly §s possible, Loney would pever have thought: of hitting out as he did, and the tragedy.which he doubtless de-* plores more than anyone else, would never have happened.TO PREVENT RECURRENCE.« \u201cThe only thing that can be done to prevent u recyrrence of such an incl- dent is to inculcate better ideals as to true sport among the young people as they grow up.Those ideals are no! nearly £0 high on this gide of the water as they are in Great Britain.I played football and cricket all my lfe until 1 grew too old to indulge in such pastimes.and never in England have I witnessed scenes such as are repeatedly described in our papers; such, for example, as the mobbing of an umplre.In Great Britain.the decision of the umpire is never questioned for a moment, even when he has been manifes!- ly in error.\u201cA great dea) is being done in our schools toward the attainment of better things In the line nf sport.We are attempting Lo inculcate a loftier apirit of falrpess and genuine emulation \u2018in our scholars.This will do not a little, I fee] assured, toward oblltering the professionalizing tendencies that are noted so largely in our sport to-day.When games become once more a mere pastime.and nol a business as they are at present, better conditions WwHIi undoubtedly obtain.\u201d PERCENTAGE XILLED WOUNDED.Mr.Max.Leibich, of Berthier, in discussing the matter, paid: \u201cI think few people will be Inelinkd Le Qiapute the following: \u201c1.Hockey is rapldiy into a game for \u2018toughs.\u2019 \u201c2, The percentage of killed and wounded is often Jarger than in a real battle.\u201c2.The mora} effact on the players and the spectators is distinetiy the reverse of elevating, as brutality\u2014flerce brutality \u2014is not only practised, but enjoyed by the onlookers.\u201cPeople are saying something must be done.Well, the remedy is simple enough.The matches are, 1 beliave controlled by \u2018leagues.\u2019 or \u2018associations of some kind.Let these leagues enact that If any player is put off more than once in any match for foul tactics he) shall be debarred from playing in matches for the rest of the season, \"Why on earth should a fellow be given a second chance to deliberately try to wound a fellow-player?I think it perfectly safe to say that in England, if a man were seen deliberately resorting to foul play in any game, no decent club would ever have anything more to do with him.\u201cHis over.hy should not the same be done here?1 should very much like to hear the expression of opinion of others on the point, more especially of fathers and mothers.and all true lovers of real clean, wholesome sport.\u201d AND a \u2018degenerating BAIE DES CHALEURS MATTER IN COURT.The Exchequer Court, Mr.Justice Bur - presiding, yesterday took into consideration the schemes proposed for a settlement of the claims against the Baie des Chaleurs Rallway Company.There vas a formidabie arraÿ, of counsel, Mr.W.K.C., of Ottawa, appeared for ihe e des Chali- eurs Railway Co.; Mr.T.Chase Gas- grain, K.C., and Mr.A.Chase Casgrain for the majority of the bondholders of the Bate des Chaleurs Company, for the trusiees of the bondholders vu \u2018the-Ats lantic and\u2019 Lake Superior

Mr.Edgar .Armstrong, for Mr.Nash.Mr.Joa- quia de Galindes, of London, and Mr.L.A.Globensky, secretary of the Bale des Chaleurs Railway Company, as well as Mr, C.N.Armstrong, were present during the proceedings.The Bale des Chaleurs Company is insolvent.and .Ix taking advantage of] clause 285.\u2018which enables a company when in that position to make offers to the bond holders and cteditors to.recure à Fettlement of affairs,- \"ab that the company may get back\u2019 ts & solid financial footing.\u2018In the present in- Rtance there are over two million dollars in bonds issued, of which the par- tles represented by Messrs.Casgrain contro! $1,700,000.There are also numerous other small! claims upon which Judgments have heen obtained.The whole makes up a considerable aggregate.It Ja now proposed to issue a million and a half dollars\u2019 worth of bonds to pay off the existing bonds, and to issue new stock to redeem the old at a lower rate, and to pay off the creditors, LADY

Stanley Cup series will be a true test of the respective qualities of the contesting teams.Ottawa has shown itself last night to be the better of the two on soft ice.Rat Portage, playing against a crippled team, showed pretty conclusively on 2e \u2014\u2014\u2014- ys de 1s hard ice.Ottawa's eniira + Rat Portage's favor.\u2018 and old team in Ottawa's favor, judge of play at least half the match, .there ought to be nn question as to # the result showing what team is the \" best all-round.The late tiooding of the rink yesterday.which is reported, was in a mea- i + sure unfortunate, hut the condition of; : the ice is a thing that cannot be had i to order, and since no one will even think of insinuating that the Ottawa team or club was m any way to blame L for it, it was as fair vr unfair for the ; home team as for the visitors.Judging from the reports, and the Opinions expressed about last night's .match, Ottawa apparently deserved its T Victory.Judging from the two matches play- y ed, the winners of to-morrow's con- \u201c test will fully deserve the honor of .being custodians of the Cup.a ol dx (Special Sporting Correspondence.) : @fthwa, Ont.March 10.\u2014The second of ane of the mcet remarkable series of Stanley Cup games was won last night by the Ottawus, by 4 goals to 2.On the play and under the conditions .they were the betier.and deserved ! their victory: Thus a deciding game * will have to be played to-morrow even- ng.What brought about the downfall of Rat Portage after their brilliant vice tory of Tuesday evening is explained by the fact that the ire was flooded with water shortly before the game, and the surface rendered soft and slushy, which was all against the .faster Rat Portage men.As to the {.flooding of the ice, there were many stories told and the truth waa hard to discover.One employe of the rink went so far as to say that the ice had been turned on at 7.40, another said 6.30, another 7 o'clock.but the ; agerage time given by the employes seemed to be shortly after 7.The Rat Portage team and officials one and all ; blamed the slow ice for their defeat, Jiro, and admitted that if the ice was soft on turday evening their chunces would Be small.They want hard.dry ice, in .order that their great speed may tire ; their opponents, \u2018 COULD WIN ON DECENT ICE.Said Tom Phillips to the Star repre- ,» Rentative: \u2018That ice lost us the game, \" pul we wll win on decent ice.The fAooding of it Is a disgrace, and I expected better treatment.\u201d Rut there were other factors in the result.Frank McGee and Billy Gilmour were on the Cup holders\u2019 team, and it is not saying to ynuch to asgert that besides being \u2018 the best men on the (\\ttawa side, they it won the match for them.McGee, on + the evening's pluy.ranked as the most successful player present, but he at the same time gave a disgraceful exhibition of foul play.He was off four times, making in all twenty mir- utes, and if he hud been ruled out of the game altogether.it would have been dukcfhe interests of clean sport.MUCH BRUTAL PLAY.It was cruel work to watch, and the pity was that no human referre could ree it all.As it was, it proved the contention that the double referee system should have been enforced.Good sports in Ottawa unite in saying that the Stanley (Up trustees should compel the systemn all through Saturday's game, Instead of half and half.Every man in the Rat Portage tea marked about the face, and many timee the game had to be stopped.The * rough work did not consist in body \u201cchecking, but in cross checking and jabbing In the face.For a long time Rat Portage made no attempt to retaliate.but so soon as ft was evident that Mike Grant, the .referee, was letting a good deal go by im, they stepped into the game.Grif- fi, for Instance.knows all the tricks © of the trade, and uses his knees with good cfféct.There was nn compari- \"son with the sume of Tuesday cven- * fng for cleanness.RAT PORTAGE THE BEST TEAM.Comparing the two teams on the two es played, it is practically assured hat if the ice Is hard to-morrow evening Bat Portage will win.The general opinion stlil ia that Rat Portage could .win seven games out of ten.They are the best team ever seen here in pur- sait of the Stanley Cup.While they ere fresh and before the ice began .cut up they were by far the better \u201cfot.They first led by 1-0 and then by .2-1, and on their play should have led by more, but the puck was slow und n stationary In pools of water, sin greatly discounted the dangerous tatk of Phillips and Griffis, who are .really the star men of the front rank.Not that McGimsie and Tom Hooper are weaklings.By no means, hut the .two first-metionéd are in a class by themselves, RAT PORTAGE DEFENCE STRONG.The Rat Portage defence played Gent the same game as they did in Rétro t game, and it was pretty to e but the soft surface often up- eir calculations, Despite Hs lack * ght the defence Is Tr strong, cog ter than that

weight in- Ligon t to bear, but it Rat Portage Are Still Full of Hope and Cheer.A was legitimate and there were many rousing cheery as he stopped the dan- werous flight of Phillips and Griffis, and not only that but he us often us not turned defence into attack.He seems tao have learnt something from the game of Tuesday evening and played the puck up the ire instead of lifting it.In the first game when he tried this he was invariably dispossessed, but last night he stuck to it.He is not so fast as mos' of the men on the challengers' team, but he has a great reach, and hi> iinmense strength made him the freshest man present at the cluse of the game.OTTAWA DEFENCE CLEAN.Moore was the failure of the evening.He was outclassed.He is far too slow and the bulk of the work of stopping the speedy Thistles fell to Pul- ford.He also was clean in his method and any insinuations that can be made against the U(lawas for rough play must certainly pass by the defence men.Like Pulford, he used his weight legitimately, and it is not his fault if he happens to be fifty pounds heavier than the man who meets him.The two goalkeepers, Giroux and Finnie, distinguished themselves.Fin- nie was beaten twice and Giroux four times, but not once in either case wus there a chance of stopping the shot.MR.MIKE GRANT, the Referee.FEIT OSOOT LODE HCI MIKE SHEA SAYS THE MATCH WAS ROUGH, BUT Not REALLY DIRTY © © & Special to the Montreal Star.Ottawa, March 10.\u2014Mike Shea considered the gume an exceptionally fine one.It was a case of combination against individual plays, in which the combination won.Both teams, he sald, checked hard.but the Rat Portage team were trickier.Belng faster skaters than Uttawas, they were able to trip with their sticks without coming under the eye of the re- ferec.While the play was rough and hard.he considered that it was particularly clean.Nearly every bit of rough play was legitimate, and the players of both sides used their bodies to effect.The addition of both McGee and Billy Gilmour on the team made a great difference, and teccs Giroux is nat so big a man as Finnie, and 1s, if anything.quicker.but really there is very little to choose between them.To Finnie as much as to Pul- ford is due great credit for the victory.Turning to the forwards, Frank McGee and Gilmour on the one side, and Phillips and Grifis on the other played grandly.McGEE'S STERLING PLAY.Of course, McGee had so many rests at the side that when he came on he was fresh and did not play so long as the otHers.His usefulness, there- McGEE, The man with the wrist of steel, who did much to win victory for Ottawa.fore, was much less than it should have been.However, during the time he was on the ice he ranked as the most versatile forward.playing atrong In attack, clever in drawing off the defence and quicker in passing.McGee appeared on the ice with a bandaged arm! The amall bone in his wrist had been broken in the match with the Wanderers, and though his doctor had said: \"Professionally speaking, I advise you not to play.\u201d he turned out.He received a great ôvation.His arm, from hand to the elbow, was tightly bandaged, and over this was a thick circular tube of aluminum, and which fitted closely yet not enough to prevent the free working of the muscle.Over this again was another soft padding.Unless one h known of it, there was nothing in McGee's stick- handling to show that he had suffered very little inconvenience, and he would be all right for Saturday's game.Fortunately for him the Rat Portage men do not ralse their sticks and he recelv- ed no clips over the.arm.NOT A PINK TEA PLAYPR.Of Gilmour it may be said that his presence aided

10.\u2014' \u201cBob\u201d Shil- lington, manager of the Ottawas, denies this morning that the ice was flooded last evening and states that the water which was there was simply the result of thaw.When

Grant's business, and Billy played a great game.His speed saved many a dangerous rush, and he lasted out as well as anyhody, which was a sucprise, for he has been out of training for a week or two.Gilmour played against the wishes of hia people, but he has the consolation of knowing that but for the presence of himself and McGee the Ottawas would last night have lost the Stanley Cup.The Ottawas have a big votes of thanks coming to these two.Smith and Westwick both played sterling game.Smith was better than on Tuesday evening.He also played a good clean all round game.Westwick was also and thoroughly at home with his old clubmates beside him, but he might have restricted some of his attentions to his opponents\u2019 phÿsiognomies.THB PORTAGE TEAM.Hooper's great speed was not so much in evidence as on Tuesday.Mc- Gimele played n good steady, careful game, and it is unfortunate that Mc- Gee's skate caught him on the knge and knocked him out.Thin was purely an acciden: on McGee's part.Phillips wis not nearly so brilliant as usual, and this was undoubtedly due to the sloppy surface.Before the ice cut up he wag the best man Griffis is a great player and heokme present.if the ice is in the same condition on Saturday night the Ottawas will win easily, he thought.The addition of a judge of play.he hought, was necessary.With the two men on the ice watching the play, it is

military move ls in progress, the statement being made that if guns were going south it was simply an ordinary operation in the way of shifting troops; but a Russian of high position made the official statement: \u201cRussian has not any designs on India, as England is su fond of ulirging.If Great Britain would only Jet ua alone we would not | - trouble her: but we are not blind to the manner In

PRACTICE OF SEINING IN MISSISQUOI BAY President Roosevelt Has Appealed to Canadian Authorities Through British Ambassador.Tomnto, Ont, March 10.\u2014A Globe's Ottawa special says: \u2018President Roosevelt who wag appealed to by the State of Vermont, to ald 1t in putting an end to the Canadian practice of seining in Mississiquo: Bay, Lake Champlain has \u2018vinmunlested with high author!- tes in the Pominion through the Brit- tif Ambassador at Washington, Sir Mortimer Durand in order to see if Vermont's wish cannot be carrled out.The belief is entertained that the Minister of Marine, under whose department fishorv matters come, wlll în- sist upon Canada\u2019s right to sdminis- ter her own fisheries without United States interference and that he will recommend to his colleagues not to depart from the existing policy in Mlis- issquoi Bay.If the State-of Vermont is suffering any Inconvenience from the present arrangement, it has on'y itself to blame Six years ago the Caradian Department of Marine and Fisheries entered into a joint arrangement with Vermont for the protection of fishertes in Lake Champinw, but it is sald that the ink was scarcely dry on the arrangement before our cousins an the other side of the line began to violate it.Xo il has been all along the iuternational boundary line, For years past Cainuda has si{eadfastly and persistently enforced measures for the protection of the fisheries in her wat- era.while her powerful meighbor has done practically nothing except bene- fe at the Dominion\u2019s expense.The United States allowed their fishermen ta depiete American waters and whenever opportunity offered these men have not hesitated to poach on the Canadian side.ABAD T (Continued from pabe ten.) heavy body checks and it seems to be

the East night be expected here, crowds began to collect wherever the resylts were to be announced, and the cheering and en- thusiaam generally were strongly in- dicatlve of marked interest in the game.The succese of the holders, however, demonstrated that there are quite a number of people here who favor the chances of the Ottawa team, and when the Capital representatives took the lead there wus considerable applause.While the victory of the Ottawa team will cause serious consideration of the final trial.the Western supporters of the Rat Portage lean have not commenced to falter tn their allegiance, and while the wish may be futher to the thought, many of them express the opinion in a declded manner that the Cup will come west, as a result of Saturday's game, ICE CONDITIONS UNFAVORABLE.They place stress on the fact that the game was played on soft slushy ice, a conditlon which was practically foreign to the experience of the challengers.They are satisfled that if the Weuther should turn colder, and ice be keen {n final game the \u201cRats\u201d can cup holders, IL is also believed that Lhe absence of a judge of play removed protection from the visitors, who were right in the mitt of the Ottawas, and it is felt that the Western system of superintending play should be reverted to In next trial.The following opinions expressed py prominent hockey men here on the result of game are interesting.A.B.Donley, former member of Rat Portage executive: \u201cThough the defeat is a set back to the bright prospects of the team, 1 belleve that the soft ice and rough play on the part of Ottawas beat our team.If the ice is hard on Saturday night, \u201cRats\u201d will win.The conditions in last night's game were a handicap to the visitors and even with the extra strength which Me- Gee and Gilmour are sald to have contributed, \u2018Rats\u2019 are not beaten yet.\u201d R.A.C.Manning, president of the Manit Hockey League: \u2018The result Of the pame to-night at Ottawa proves thè uncertginty of the final outcome.It looks me that the two teams which played last night are very evenly matched, Soft ice would destroy e advantages of the Thistles in thelr superior and faster skating and Otta- Was with their experience on such ice would be greatly benefited.With harder joe and their forwards checking closely and coming buck in rushes, 1 have no doubt that the Stanley Cup will journey westward.\u201d McGEE RESPONSIBLE.W.R.Bawlf, manager of the Rowing Club hockey team, suid: \u2018The addition of Frank McGee and Gilmour accounts for the result.The Rats may have felt a little over-confident, but I sti] feel that the Rats will.win out, The Rats cannot do themselves justice on eoft ice.\u201d James I.Elliott, Rowing Club: \u201cI consider that the Rats were beaten by conditio: which are favorable to the Easternef®.They are unaccustomed to soft ice and besides were victims of \u2018Qttawas\u2019 very heavy checking and the \u201cabsence of the sccomé-\u2018offichal.If the _jce Is good Saturday night I believe the challengers can repeat their perforin ance of Tuesday night.\" OTMAWA HAS BAG OF TRICKS.Percy Quinn: \"Owing to the forward line of Ottawa being strengthened by Frank McGee and Gilmour, I am afraid the cup wlll stay east.McGee, 1 con- aider, has no peer in his position, and his presence on the ice gives every confidence to his team mates.Of course the soft ice was a handicap to the challengers, but I know Ottawas by experience and they have tricks that are many and embarrassing.However, the visitors started off with a clean sheet Saturday and they are not beaten yet.\u201d There is plehity of Ottawa money here now, but Rat Portage backers will Le rather canny until they know the prospects for ice on Saturday.It was suggested here that Ottawas intentionally played two junlor men in first game to influence betting for other games, Protection of Women and Children.Mr.8.Carsley presided at the monthly meeting of the Society for the Protection of Women and Children, held yesterday, in tie society's building, on Dorchester street, The secretary's report showed t@at sixty- three cases had been dealt with during the month of February, involving the Interests of 42 families and 84 children.Two wives reported that their husbands had deserted them, and were given pecuniary assistance.Eleven wives brought complaints of non-sup- port against their husbands, who were drunkards.Of these three, who were also: gullty of cruelty, were arrested and punished, seven improved after warning, and one agreed to pay his wife a weekly allowance through the soclety.Nine complaints of assault were brought.In two cases legal separation was secured, three men were arrested, three warned, and another took the pledge.Complaints of non-payment of wages were made by seven servants.In two cases payment was secured for the servants, two others were sent to lawyars, and \u2018one case is now in court.In two of the complaints brought the servants were themselves at fault.Some time ago the society, finding their building larger than their purposes required, had conferred with the Charity Organisation Soclety, with a view to letting rooms to the latter.At the meeting yesterday a letter from the secretary of the C.O.8, was read, stating that it was not considered advisable that the Charity Organization should make any move at

In the midst of his depression and bewilderment Ike brought him a letter which had lain two weeks at the Fort, and whose date was now some four weeks old.It was from Brown and ran thus: My Dear Old Chap: I do not know how to begin this letter.The terribly sudden and awful caiamlty that has overtaken us has paralyzed my mind, and I can hardly think strajght.One thing that stands otit before me, wiping out almost every other thought, is that our dear Betty is no more.You cannot Imagine it, I know, for though I saw her in her coffin, so sweet and lovely, but oh! so atfll, 1 cannot get myself to belleve ft.The circumstances concerning her death.too, were awfully sad, so sad that it simply goes beyond any words I have to describe them.I will try to be coherent: but, though I shall give you an account of what happened, I cannot begin to convey the !mpreasion upon my mind.Well, let me try.Regular 50c, to-morrow .,.inside the 8t.Catherine strest entrance; GENTLEMEN'S WHITE SHIRTS, soft fronts, cuffs attached; reo Our Men's Furnishings Department is situated just men don't have to wander round the store looking for what they want, because you can't miss the location of this section.Then there's the savings we offer, often 50 per cent, and almost always 10 per cent.on what you'd pay in the stores only for men\u2019s goods.To-morrow\u2019s offers are\u2014 MEN'S REAL JAPANESE HANDKERCHIEFS, with 1 inch hem.Also a special line of Real Japanese Handkerchiefs, mize 22 inches, with 1 1-2 inch hem; regular 50c.GENTLEMEN'S CAPE GLOVES, Dent's make, one or two spring GENTLEMEN'S HARD BOSOM COLORED SHIRTS, in good de- | signs; sizes 14 to 16.Regular $1.25.THE NEWEST EFFECTS IN GENTLEMEN'S DERBY TIES\u2014 Cees eee eee .25c Special to-morrow .c To-mo a.\u2026\u2026.B1-00 To-morrow.59c To-morrow .£51.~ INFANTS\u2019 WEAR Specials for To-morrow.48 only, INFANTS\u2019 LONG NAIN- 800K DAY DRESSES, assorted patterns and trimmings, round yokes of fine baby tucks, trimmed with hemstitched frills, also hemstitched frills on sleeves and neck; some pearl buttons or fine , Insertion and embroidery on yoke, neck and sleeves, and 4- inch hem at bottom.Regular prices $1.25 and $1.50.Tomorrow .98e To-MOrTOW.2 000 cos sos INFANTS\u2019 HAND-MADE CROCHET JACKETS, in plain white, white with pink, white with blue, Regular values 95¢ to $1.25.inside; colors black and brown.You know Mrs.Falrbanks has been opposed all along to The Don's attentions to Betty, and hes tried her best fo block him.After you left, the opposition grew more determined.Why, for the life of me, I cannot say.She had apparently made up her mind that The Don must quit.She worked every kind of scheme, but it was no good.That plucky little girl, in her own bright, jolly way without coming to an open break, would not give back an inch, and The Don kept coming to the house just because Betty insisted.He would have quit long before, poor chap.You know how proud he is.Well, Mrs.Fairbanks set to work to gain her purpoee.She somehow got wind of the kind of life, The Ddn lived in this city years ago.She set enquiries on foot and got hold of the facts pretty > well.You know all about it.80 I need not tell \u201cyou.Poor chap, he had his black spots, sure enough.She furthermore got Lloyd how much he looked up for her I don't know, but I tell you I have quit Lioyd.He is a blanked cad.1 know I should not write this, and you will hate to read it.but it is the truth.His conduct during the whole business has been damnable; damnable! damnable ! I! gnash my teeth as I write.When she had everything ready she sprung her mine.Jt was In her own house one evening, when Lloyd, The Don, and I were there, and the Falr- banks\u2019 new minister, Hooper, a young Trinity man, who has been a close friend of The Don's.I don\u2019t know how long, but some years at least.A fine fellow.God bless him, say T, Again and again.The Don and Betty bad been going it pretty strong that evening, rather unnecessarily Bo, 4 think: and Mrs.Fairbanks got more and mure worked up, until she seemed to lose her head.As The Don was saying good-nizht she spoke up and said In that haughty way of hers, \u201cMr.Balfour, the time has come when wo must say good-bye, arid I must ask you to discontinue your visits to this house, and your intimacy with my daughter.\u201d Well, we all sat up, I can tell you.The Don went white, and red, and white again.Betty walked over and stood by his side, her eyes all blazing.\u201cMamma: she cried.\u201cwhat are you saying against the man I love!

Then The Don pulled himself together, turned to Mrs.Fairbanks, and began io speak.the words pouring out in a perfect torrent.\u201cMrs.Fairbänks, you must listen to me.What you say was true of me eight years ago.1 came here a mere boy.I fell In with a bad lot\u2014I had plenty of money, and I confess I went bad.That was eight years ago.Then 1 met your daughters and came Into your home.From that time 1 have never done a dishonourable thing, my life has been clean.Ever since I touched your daughter's hand - my hands have never touched anything unclean.The first day I saw her, elght years ago, I loved her, and since that time I have been true In heart and in life to her.For my shameful past God knowa I have repented bitterly, bitterly, and have sought forgiveness, and no man {ives in this town, or any other, who can point\u2019 to anything of which I am ashamed to speak here.\u201d Poor Betty! She looked from one to the other In a frightened kind of way, and when The Don had finished his confession.she gave a cry the like of which I never heard, \u2018Oh, mother take me away!\u201d I have heard of hearts being broken.I think hers was ken then.bre tell you we were all In a whirl.The Don fell on his knees beside her, taking hold of her skirts.\u201cOh, Betty, won't you forgive me?God have mercy on me! Won't you forgive me?I have done many things of which I em ashamed, but I have never been untrue to you in thought or deed.Never, never, so help me God!\u201d He clutched the hem of her dress, kissing it over and over again.It was a ghastly sight I can tell you.Betty shrank from hint, drawing her skirts away.\u201cComo away, my daughter,\u201d sald Mrs.Fairbanks.\u2018There La nothing more to be sata.\u201d St Catherine and Mountain Strests.As she turned away up spake little Hooper.God bless him, the little five- footer, every inch clear grit.\u201cMrs.Fairbanks, one minute.Pardon me I say a word.I am this young man\u2019 friend, and I am your minister.I ha known this man for six years.I have known bim intimately.I belleve B carries à clean, pure heart, end he has] lived a hard-working, honourable life.If he has sinned, he has repented, and: has forgiven him.Should not y » .Mre.Falrbanks turned {mpatiently on him.\u201cMr.Hooper, forgiveness is one thing.hip another.\u201cNo, thank God!\u201d cried the little chap.\u201cNo, forgiveness te not one thing and friendship another.Forgiveness means, friendship, and welcome and love, with God and with man.\u201d I could have hugged the little man where he stood.Then Mrs.Fairbanks seemed to lose her head.and she blazed out in a perfect fury.\u201cDou you mean delb- erately to say that this man,\u201d pointing to The Don, who was still on his knees, with his face in his hands, \u201cthat this man should be re- oelved into my house?\u201d \u2018Mra.Fairbanks,\u201d said er, \u2018ie there not a place for the repentant sud absolved, even with the saints of God?\u201d Mrs.Fairbanks lost herself completely.\"Mr.Hooper,\u201d she cried, \u201cthis is outrageous.1 tell-¥yeu.\u2014forgiven or not, repentant or not, never will he, or such as he enter my door or ray daughter's hand.Never while I live.\u201d (To be Continued.)

a new Industry for the \u2018manufacture of ammunition for fire arms, known as the Canadian Ammunition Company, Limited, and amongst the Important bulldings will be the new Mount Royal Club, on Sherbrooke street, the Mother House of the Sisters of Notre Dame, and the new Alexandra and Notre Dame Hospitals.Large numbers of building lots have within the last six months changed hands, and tenement hopses will be erected and extensive alterations in large stores in the uptown section of the city are In contemplation.Again, there is the extensive road re- palring which the city will undertake to do during the summer and the ereotion of three new subsidiary stations by the Montreal Street Railway Company, for which purpose they have purchased twenty acres of land north of St Denis street.FLOOD OF ACTIVITY.With this flood of activity In industrial circles, the various crafts in the building trades will benefit largely.Wages will remain at about the same scale as they have been during the past year.A perfect understanding ex- ists between the unions and the employers, and by neither section {s any trouble anticipated.That this harmony will continue, the labor leaders feel quite confident, and they look for an unprecedented era of prosperity.IN THE IRON TRADE.According to the officials-of the Iron Moulders' Union the indications in the iron trades In the Montreal district are encouraging.When the iron business Is active, they say, there is little like- lthood that there will be stagnation in other enterprises.Strength in the fron and steel trade has an especial importance as the industries of Montreal, since so many of the enterprises depend, directly or indirectly, upon activity on this branch of manufacture.The facts with regard to the iron and steel trade give reasonable hopes of a prosperous | with summer full employment for skilled labor.No trouble of any kind da anticipated and the structural iron \u2018 | administrative workers expect to be constantly employed, AMONG THE GARMENT WORKERS Journeymen tallor and garment workers report having had a very dall winter and they say that business will probably continue slack for some time.Hundreds of men and women are out of work.No changes have taken place in hours of }abor, or rates of wages, and cordial relations exist between employers and employes.The steambont men, steamboat firemen, ship liners, ship laborers, and \u2018longshorémen, a practically without employment at e present, but, for them also, there are bright prospects of these men having much to do just as soon As naviga opens.The offi- clals of the Montreal *Longæshoremen's Association state at the men are satisfied with their tes of wages and hours of labor.and that the relations of employed and employer continue satisfactory.A FEW MINOR) STRIKES.three strikes in of very minor among the hat and cap workers in \\pne factory on Lemoine street, the iroB moulders in King\u2019s foundry, and tyenty-five apprentices in the Diamo®d Glass fac- tbry, on Delortmier avenve.In two of these cases it was not question of wages, whereas in the third it was, but the differences promige to be amicably settled in a short time.Mr.Joseph Gervals, general organiser of the Montreal Soft .Btone Cutters\u2019 Union, informed the Htar to-day that the Industrial conditi throughout Eastern Canada, Would be practically undisturbed by trade disputes this season.\u201calthough,\u201d sald he, it the unexpected that very often happens.\u201d LORD ROSEBERY SPEAKS IN LONDON.He Discusses the Irish Questipn and international Affairs.: London, March 10.\u2014 The qu Home Rule for Ireland was the cipal feature of the speech of Rosebery before the City of Liberals\u2019 Club last night.His said that while the Liberal party pathized with ing to p reform, thing to which no wise statesmen will expose the country.namely, Lord Rosebery said that after B tish ships had been ordered from Arthur by suela, at the behest of Germany, tons had little further humiliation Yo expect at the hands of a Liberal - ernment.If a Liberal Governmeht were called upon to renew the Anglo Japanese alllance he had little ou that it would sign gladly., a Levers Y-Z (Wise Head) Digin- fectarit Soap Powder Is better than Victoria Sts.Victoria Sts.= _ ~ RESIENATION OF St.Catherine ® Stcath £ SAM LA Un cite, Hon University and W.Hn Dd rouWw University and Limited \u201cTHE STORE OF SATISFACTION.\u201d 3 Weather Probabilities.Higher Snow Tempr\u2019ture ne Turning Milder Moderately Rain Cold Thaw Blustery STYLES OF WAISTS WOMEN ARE BUYING.Fortunate investments we've made are entitling us to the major portion of your patronage.White Lawn &nd Muslin Walsts\u2014a new shipment of great values just arrived;

4, last, the body of a dead | child was found floating in Coata- worth\u2019s Cut, in the east end of Toronto bay.It was at first thought that it might be a case of accidental death by drowning, but closer examination showed a wound on the head, while the post-mortem revealed that the child had been dead before it wag put in the water.For some days the cause of death and the identity of the child remained a mystery but after constant enquiries and thorough information supplied from the Chief of Po- Jice at Port Hope, where the grandmother of Mrs.Martin lived, the body was identified.Mrs.Martin was then working in Toronto, her husband having enlisted in the R.C.R.Both of them had accounted for the fact of thelr child being missing by saying that it had been sent to relatives at Port Hope, BOTH WERE ARRESTED.In September Martin and Mrs.Martin were arrested and brought to trial on November 9 the case being held defore Judge Falconbridge.The evl- dence showed that Martin, accompan- boat

DISCUSSED Mr.R.LL Borden Asked Questions Regarding Autonomy Bills.THE PREMIER REPLIES will He States That Mr.Sifton Not Be Replaced at Present.Bpeclal Staff Correspondence.The Press Gallery, House of Commons, Ottawa, March 1v.\u2014Although Thursday's sitting of the House of Commons wus fairly lang, lasting until past eleven o'clock, comparatively little wus done.Mr.Burden agaln enquired alter the Cabinet crisis and usked several questions respecting the framing of the Autonomy bills, the vacancy in the Government and future changes in the measures.The Pryne Minister answered these enquiries, but he did not give the reasnns for not having consulted Mr.Sifton and Mr.Fielding when drafting the bills.Nearly five hours were spént in committee of supply, votes for the Prince Edward Island Rallwuy being under cun- sideration und all were passed.A number of bills were introduced and several questions unswered.That made up the business of the day.MIi.BORDEN'S QUESTIONS.When the orders of the day were culled, Mr.Borden mude a brief statement, leadlug up to reveral questions concerning the crisis and the bill.When the Prime Minister introduced the bills, said Mr.Burden, lt was naturally concluded that the leader of the Government had consulted his col- leugues and obtained thelr approval of the measures; but soon the House and the country learned that such was not the case.Mr.Sifton had not been consulted at all, and he had resigned, and it wag common rumor that other members of the Government were dissatisfied.and the name of Mr.Fielding wus connected with that report.The bills were introduced only two or three days before the return of Mr.Sifton, who was intimately conversant with the subject deait wlth, but he was rot consulted.And it was almost as great a matter of surprise that a blil su seriously affecting the finances of the country should have been brought down on the eve of the return of the Minister nf Finance.As far as these two Ministers wrre concerned, the Autonomy bills were nut the acts of the Government.The principle of territorial responsl- bility on the part of members of the Cabinet had been enunciated in the order-in-council dismissing Lord Dun- donald from the position of commandant of the Canadian militia, If that principle was to be acted upon Ît was another reason in support of the proposition that Mr.Sifton, the representative of the West in the Cabinet, should have been consulted with respect to measures of such vital importance to that part of the Domin- ton.Tha Prime Minister a few years ago had asked Mr.Tarte for his port- follo because.as was stated.he had agitated In behalf of a policy which had not been adopted by the Government.The converse of that rule should hold good, and lt would now be in order for the colleagues of the Prime Minister to demand hls resignation on the round that he had placed before the House and the country a measure in wb'eh all had not concurred.Mr.Borden wished to know if all the clauses of the Autonomy hiils had been discussed with representatives of the executive of the North-West Territories.I?his curiosity was not fas:idious, as was always charged by the Prime Minister when awkward questions were asked, Mr.Borden wished to know if steps had heen taken towards filling the vacancy caused by the retirement of Mr.Sifton; also what further changes in the Autonomy bills were now under consideration ?THE PREMIER'S REPLY.The Prime Minister at once repHed, taking his stand behind the breastwork of parliamentary practice.No one knew better than the leader of the O9- : position that the deliberations of (ec Cabinet were secret, and that trove must be solidarity in all Government action.The whole fourteen members of a Government could not be expected to hold the same views on all subjects.Each must be allowed some latitude until it became impossible for one to agree with his colleagues and then it became necessary for him to retire.When that occurred it was the duty of the Prime Minister to inform the House of the change in the Cabinet.That had been done; and what more did Mr.Borden expect ?Did he expect all the conversations and deliberations of the Cabinet to be reported to If so, that expectation of *the leader of the Opposition was not supported by practice or authorities.When the bills were under considera- tlon Mr.Sifton would be free to present his views to the House and state the reasons that had led him to resign, the reasons of his disagreement with the educational clauses.As regards the vacant portfolio, no action had yet been taken towards filling it, and It was not the intention to fill it at present.Respecting contemplated changes in the bili, the Premier sald : Very few, If any bills of such importance passed without changes being made.Mr.Borden was anxious to know in advance of these changes.No doubt he was preparing his batteries for an attack upon the biils.and he wished to know whether he should place them on this bill or that bill.He would receive notice in due time.MR.BORDEN'S REPARTEE.In reply.Mr.Borden sald that whatever might happen he would not retire within the lines of Torres Vedras.And further, he reminded the Prime Minister that the latter had not stated why two members of the Cabinet had not bcen consulted respecting the Autonomy bills.That question was atill unanswered.It remalned so for the Prime Minister had nothing more to say.Mr.W.F.Maclean then once more presented his views respecting what he called a violation of the constitution, moving an adjournment to put himself in order.Why had nct Mr.Sifton and Mr.Fieiding been consulted ?He challenged the Government to appeal to the country and submit the school question to the decision of the people; and further, the House should vote no more supplies until the Government was completed by the appointment of a new Minister of thre Interlor.The motion to adjourn was at once declared lost.Mr.Derbyshire, Liberal, of Brockville, evidently did not hear the decision for he rose to make a speech, getting as far as to ask; \u201cwho is this man who moves the adjournment of the House every day?\u201d Rut here he had to end, for, of course, he was out of order, the motion to ad- Journ having been disposed of.Upon the motion to go into supply the Postmaster-General promised Tr.McLean, of Queen's, that he would make enquiry into the complaint that two thousand bags of mall matter were waiting to be carried from the mainland to Prince Edward Island \u2019 CRITICISM OF THB LCR In supply the committee returned to the votes for the Intercotonial Rañl- way.Mr.Crocket, the Conservative member for York, N.B., told the committee of the unjustifiable dismissal of the station agent at Fredericton; and in reply Mr.Emmerson denied that politics had anything to do with the case.Criticism of the administration of the road was continued until six o'clock, and resumned after adjournment, : Dr.Daniel, of St.John, N.B., contended that the jncreuse of wages on the I.C.R.wis not greater than on other rallways.The annual report shows that the roud actually carried less freight last year than the year before, This was the reason why it earned less money.The Conservatives had no desire to curtail proper expenditure on the people's mlway, but they did object to it being made a political, partisan machine.The through freight carried on the LC.R.last year was actually less than that carried 17 years ago.Mr.Emmerson replied that the gross earnings of last year were greater than the year before, but there was also an increase où expenditure.WHO ARE ASKED TO TENDER.In discussing the manner In which tenders for supplies were called for, Mr.Foster asked to whom notices were sent, Mr.Emmerson's answer was that notices were sent 10 firms whose names were on a certain Mst \u201cNames of political friends of Minister,\u201d suggested Mr.Foster.\u201cWell,\u201d sald Mr.Emmerson, \u201cit was not the same lst that was used by the the mittes on organization presented two reports on the lines laid down by Mr.Borden, when at the beginning of the session he again was called to the leadership.It was decided to con- aider these reports at another meeting.Some discussioh took place on the North-West Autonomy bill.The Government was censured for its failure to present the measure to the\u2019 House in its finality.The caucus adjourned with cheers for the leader.and with the general understanding that the members will await events before deciding upon the line of policy to be adopted.THE MYSTERY AT PLAINFIELD, ONT.Nothing

of Dominion Alliance.$2,900,000 SPENT ANNUALLY Temperance Problem Reviewed In Many Interesting Speeches\u2014 Election of Officers.There are In Montreal over E00 people selling liquor over the bars, said Mr.5.Spence, of Toronto, ut the Dominion Alllance meeting held last night in the Dominion Square Metho- afst Church, Estimating $10 to be the dully average of recelpts taken by each, the speaker computed that $2,920,000 were spent annually in the saloons of Montreal, The president, Mr.S.J.Carter, oc- cupled the chair and the meeting was well attended, Politics, the speaker stated in opening his address, was à noble science, and clergymen as well as other citizens should be politicians.Py this he did not mean the terms, politics and politiclans, as they were too often understood.He menut neither a fleld of corruption nor men who sought to advance their own interests in the name of the country.\u201cGood citizenship\u201d was, said Mr.Spence, \u201ca term that expressed fully what he would say, for a good citizen would be a good politi clan.\u201d The speaker reviewed briefly the re- psources and development of Canada, pointing out the disastrous effect of the liquor traffic.Prohibition would elevate the country's standard, but its attainment was delayed by Christians not being true to thelr convictions in casting their votes, \u201cThere are 200 churches and 200 hotels in Toronto,\u201d sald Mr.Spence, \u2018and although 1 regret to say it, poli- ticlans, on polling day, would rather depend on the hotels than on the churches.Church members will set aside religion and vote party, and candidates Know it But hotelkeepers vote solidly for their own interests, Instead of voting for party.If church members and church-goers would forget party they would have more chance of winning great principles.Unless they do put their hearts fully into the cause of prohibition, I think the prospects for temperance are pretty ue.\u2019 THE AFTERNOON SESSION.In the afternoon the final business meeting was held and a number of resolutions presented.One in particular Was thoroughly discussed.It dealt with the powers of the Recorderh Court to prosecute for infringement of the license law.It read: \u201cThat the Licensed Victuallers\u2019 Association having declared in favor of removing from the Recorders Court of this city prosecutions for infractions of the liquor license Jaw.\u201cResolved, that this alliance records its emphatle protest agalnst any in- tereference with the present powers of the Recorders In relation to the enforcement of the license law and prosecutions for violation of the law.\u201d The meeting expressed the belief that the removing of such prosecutions from the Recorder's Court was the worst possible step with a view to the enforcement of the license law.A Statement from one of the delegates that in certain courts political Influence was brought to bear upon such questions, called out a vigorous protest from several of the members.As the charge was too serious to ve discussed without some definite statements to go on the question was dropped.Another resolution, bearing on the Ajytonomy Bill, was to the effect that, whereas, voters in every province but Quebec have testified to having the liquor trafic suppressed, resolved that our federal Government be memorializ- \u2018ad to introduce Into the Autonomy B.l am full powers as possible for the Par- lidigent to deal with the question of suppressing the manufacture and sale of quors, except as required for scientific, sacramental and medicinal purposes.Still pother resolutions carried expressed | the opinion:\u2014(1) That the alllance express its approval of Judge Taschereau's report on social purity and the lhguor traffic.(2) That the alliance ur the City Council to close bars at 7 A'clock on Saturday night and 10 dçlock on other week days.(3) hereas large discretionary powers vested In the License Commissioners, and those powers are to be used in he interest of the community, that $he alllance urge their honors to ref renewals to those who violate the: law by selling to drunkards, to mipors, on Sunday, and at lllegal hours.(4) That when an application for a license has been refused, no further {application be considered during thd license year for the same person the same place.(6) That no*license be granted in a polling sub-division) which declares against the traffic municipal, provincial or federal lection, as the Government may detérmine.THE OFFICERS -ELECTED.The officers re-elected] for the ensuing year
