REV. H. D. LEITCH LECTURES. The Vancouver Daily World of April

29th has the following : “The lecture room of St. Andrew’s

church was well filled yesterday after- noon, when Rev. H. D. Leitch deliver- ed his delightful lecture »n “The Man from Glengarry,” and “Glengarry School Days.” Mr. Leitch occupies Rev. Mr. Gordon’s (Ralph Connor’s father’s) former pulpit in Glengarry, and his thorough acquaintance with the scenes and characteristics of the folk so graphically portrayed by the gifted author enabled him to give many sidelights on ' the life and cus- toms of the old Ontario county. A most interosting feature was the ex- hibition of photographs of the original Glengarry rhurch side by side with the more pretentious stfucture that has recently replaced it. Narratives, simple yet touching of the great hard- ships uncomplainingly endured by the pioneer settlers, interesting descrip- tions of winter scenes, logging adven- tures and barn raisings added greatly to the charm of the lecture. Mr.Leitch also gave an account of the wedding customs observed in Glengarry. The brisk, healthy air, the simple habits and the naturally rugged constitution of the people have produced a race of long livers. Gray heads are very nu- merous, and in Mr. Leitch’s little con- gregation are a dozen members who had passed tho four score mark and in the vicinityseveralwho could look back over 100 summers.”

Henry Norman gives a description of the masseur wlio presides over the bath

,nnd inahes its most eccentric feature. “Hi' i.i a Persian, wlio speaks but a

word or two of Uussian. liis head is siiaved. a rag is twislini round ids waist, and Ins feet are dyed orange.

“First lie rubs you, and ti en sudden- ly, as yon lie face downward on tlie mnrlde slab, lie is upon your back, his feet dug into your spine, his hands grasping your sliouldersj to increase the pressure. Slowly, witli skillful ap- preciation of every muscle, his. feet grind I’p .and down your back. They encircle your neck. They arc on your head.

'a “Then he vaults lightly off, and in a moment from a linen bag filled with soap lie has sipieezed clouds of per- fuined bubbles, and-you are hidden in tliem fronu.head to foot ns completely as if you had fallen into a snowdrift. You are not absolutely bruised, but you are clean.”

Sweetness That Never Palls.

During a sleepless night the 'Yizier Mujjcduddin Kumija dispatched his slave, Bedruddin Ejas, to bring him

. sweets. The slave procured a copper . kettle heaped with many kinds of fruits and sweets, and MuJJeduddin be- gan to eat.

“You relish them, my master?” asked the slave.

, The vizier shrugged his shoulders. "These fruits arc sweet—for the mo- ment,” he said, "but show me a fruit the sweetness of which will endure even unto the Judgment day.”

“Such fruits there are, my master,” cried the siave and hastened toward the_^ Mesched Ilusa, where he awoke the starving orphans in the house of

' .Vliwiu and led them forth and into the ■ . rooni .of his master. Overjoyed, the

famished children devoured the fruits. “Look, oh, my master,” said the

slave. Here you see fruits the sweet- ness of which endures unto the Judg- ment day.”-

Betrothal Cnstoms. The Scandinavian bridegroom pre-

sents to his betrothed a prayer book and many other gifts, which usually in- clude a goose. She in turn gives him, especially in Sweden, a shirt, and this he invariably wears on his wedding day. Afteramrd he puts it away, and under no circumstances will he wear it again while alive. But he wears it in his grave, and there are Swedes ‘ti'ho earnestly believe not only in the resurrection of the body, but in the veritable resurrection of the betrothal shirts of such husbands as ha"ve never broken any of their marriage vows. The Swedish wldoif^r must destroy on the eve of his second marriage the bridal shirt which his first wife gave him.

To Boil Water Wltliont a Kettle. . “My wife and I,” says a traveling

man, “were once in a hotel where we couldn’t get any boiling water. After jve had discussed the situation my wife asked me if I had an envelope in my satchel. I got one out, when she told me to fill it with water and hold it over the gas Jet I hesitated, but finally did it and expected to see the envelope blaze up every minute. But It didn’t blaze. The envelope took on a little soot, but that was all. The water boiled in time, and the envelope was as good as ever when the experiment was at an end. I don’t know the chemistry of the process, but try it yourself and see if it will not work.”

The Oriental Amethyst. ‘ ' The oriental amethyst is really a vio-

let colored sapphire, which is an ex- ceedingly rare gem and of brilliant lus- ter. It is regarded as a sacred stone, and it is used to ornament the cross and the pastoral ring of Catholic bish- ops. The ancients often used the ame- thyst for cutting figures both in relief and in Intaglio, and there is In the na-

.V tional library of France a delicately wrought profile of Mæcenas, a Boman statesman of Octavius’ time, engraved on amethyst by Dloscorides, one of the four celebrated engravers mentioned by Pliny.

I..onclon, May 4.—A rumor that King Edward had been assassinated gained circulation here yesterday. Jt caused a feeling of uneasiness until it was learned that the rumor was ab- solutely unfounded and that the Sun- day program of the royal visit was l)eing carried out in Paris without a hitch.

The rumor caused great alarm in London official and court circles. Anxious enquiries concerning tho truth of the report wore made, and from Buckingham Palace telegrams were immediately sent to I’aris. The replies that there was no truth in the rumor brought intense relief to all classes of society.

Romo, May 4 .—Emperor William wa.s roc-ciwd hy tho Pope yesterday, lie had a conl'orence with the Pontiff of to mimitos’ duration, and then re- turned to tho residence of the Prus- sian Minister to the Holy See. At tin; Vatican the Emperor was receiv- ed with military honors by the Pala- lino guard and a platoon of gend- armes, and was welcomed by high dignitaries of the Pontifical court, q'lio visit of Emperor William was re- turned by Cardinal Kampolla, Papal Secretary of .State at tho i’russian Legation.

Cleveland, O., May 4.—The Kohl Torpedo factory at tho corner of Cass avenue and Orange street, blow up shortly after noon Saturdaj^ and 12 lives were lost. A largo number of persons were reported injured. The factory was completely demol- ished, several buildings nearby de- inoii.sliod, several windows broken throughout tho neigliborhood.’ F'ire broke out in the ri»ins, but the liâmes were soon under control. Tho firemen turned their attention to the rescue^l victims.

Died Aged IZO Tears.

London, May 4.—Another interest- ing centenarian has passed away, the oldest sTTitjcct of the King, aged 120 years. 'This was . William Stuart, who died at I'ortley, Lotherkonny, Ireland. When a boy ho saw Admir- al AVarron’s battleships in Lough, .Siciliy. in 1798, after ho had defeat- ed and captured the Erench squad- ron, with which was Wolfe Tone, tho notorious Irish rebel. .Stuart easily licads the list of centenarians, who have died this year.

SEVERE ARRAIGNMENT. UeS. Cavalry Como In- Toi' Criticiim by

G«n. Badon-Powoll—Col. Edfferly

Thinks That He £rrs.

New "York, May 4.—“'The American cavalry is below tho British stand- ard, and not up to that of tho con- tingent of Canadian fighting men en- gaged in tho South African cam- paign,” declared Gen. Baden-Poweil to a Journal reporter. Just before he sailed for England.

Hero is the way that eminent au- thority views the comparative capa- cit.v of tho English, Canadian and .American horsemen, who arc trained to fight in tho saddle:

‘■The physique of your cavalrymen is somewhat below tho British stand- aj'd.

“A more vigorous and rigorous system of gymnastics is needed.

“Your men drink too much coffee. Plain, suljstantial food, with no coffee and little tea, will show better results!

“I believe your men lack endur- ance. A hard campaign, like the Boer War, will produce a big sick list for" you.

<‘Man for man, your cavalry fight- ing; men arc not equal to the Cana- dian contingent.

“Y'our cavalry man is more ac- tive, both physically and mentally, than the average British horseman, b:it I think ho lacks the staying pow- ers.

“Your cavalry horses arc perfec- tion.

“1 consider your Sbeond Cavalry the most efficient in rank and file, as well as the best officered.”

Col. Edgerly Says Ho Krrs.

Colonel Winfield S. E'dgorly, com- manding the Second GaVali'y, at Fort Alyer, Virginia, does not like the criticisms of tho American caval- rymen made by Gen. Badcn-Powell. It was tho crack troop of the Second Cavalry that Gen. Badcn-Powell saw drill at Fort Mycr when ho visited AVashington.

“It seems to me,” Col. Edgqrly said, “that Gen. Badon-Powell made tho mistake of Jtidging the whole of the cavalry of tho United States by tho few men he saw in Madison •Square Garden, New Y'ork. As far as wo know, (hesc men are the only troops he looked over.

“In tho Indian campaigns some of the marches made by the troops have never boon equalled. It was to this style of fighting that Gen. Bad- on-Fowell referred when lie told his troops to follow American methods and to let the obsolete methods of the British army go. As regards our men, we are so sure of them we give all of our attention to the hor.scs. Cavalry is as strong as its horses. The men invariably wear them out. AVo thiiik our men are tho best in the world.”

RUSSIA HAS EXPLAINED.

United States AVIU l‘ay No Heed to Other Iteport».

Washington, B. C., May 4.—It is learned that U. S. Minister Conger’s original stateinent of the Uussian de- mands, as to Manchuria, has very recently received further support m I ho shape of several reports from different sources—all official—but the State Department, feels bound to accei)t without question the explana- tion of the Russian Government as made tlirough its Ambassador here, and through Count Lamsdorff in St. Petersburg, and does not feel called upon to make any further representa- tions at present upon this subject.

Situation in Manchuria.

Victoria, B.C., May 4.—Mail ad- vices received here show that New Chwang is being strengthened by the Russians, who have explained to the Chinese authorities that this course was made inestimable as Russia may soon come into conflict with a cer- tain power. It is also reported that Russia had formed nine regiments of Chinese troops in Manchuria as aux- iliaries to Russian garrison. The number will be increased to 50,000 in three years.

MONTREAL DOCK STRIKE.

Ag;r««ment R«achecl a.<i to Wages—Union Becofirnliion Only Block.

Montreal, May 4.—The strike is not off, but it is probable that tho conflicting parties arc now nearer to- gether than at any time since tho trouble began. . The conference be- tween the representatives of the-sliip- ping men and the longshoremen last- ed till 2 o’clock yesterday morning, and was continued this afternoon. They could not agree as to the rec- ognition of the union, although they came together as to the wages. However, tho Mayor addressed the strikers yesterday afternoon with tho result that their committee was instructed to wait upon the shipping men to-day.

There have been few new develop- ments since Saturday in tho strike, in so far as the militia are concern- ed. The troops continue to patrol the river front, and no suggestions ha\c yet been made for their with- drawal. It is likely., therefore, that they will remain on duty until Tues- day,or Wednesday of this week.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Broad and fair, The Judges were.

Where did the money come from ?

Why did Mr Gamey change deposit

slips ?

Why does not Mr. Gamey produce his hank book as ordered by the Court ?

The follow who gave Gamey the money

keeps in the back ground ; pity he could

not bo located.

So Mr. Gamey proposed, indited and

Signed the famous Globe interview

after all—What next ?

Mr Blake has practically dropped

Gamey, and now the latter appears in

court accompanied by a criminal law-

yer.

Chase and Myers' both gave Gamey

the lie direct in their evidence before

the Royal Commission investigation

of the latter’s charges against Hon.

Mr. Stratton.

Some one ought to inform the Ottawa Citizen that the Gamey case is still going on, and even if the evidence is not as pala-

table as at first, it is only fair to let us

have it—even if it knocks Gamey’s story into forty cocked hats.

Speaking of Buffalo affidavits, it is only right to say that the last one obtained in Whitney’s behalf was a clumsy affair at

best. If it would do Mr. Whitney any good, the News would npdertake to get ten

Buffalo affidavits that he js a colored man,

at 50 cents or a dollar.

' Had the Gamey charges been re-

ferred to a committee of the House,

the Mail and Empire and the World

could have lied all they wished about

the evidence, and could have bullied the members of the committee, with-

out being pulled up short for con-

tempt. The judges stood a good deal

before bringing them to book.

Another scandal comes treading up-

on the heels of the Gamey scandal.

But this self-confessed Buffalo elec-

tion crook. Nelson, who professes to

be able to show how the Liberals win

elections, is a gentleman concerning whom everybody will hasten to “sus-

pend judgment.”—Hamilton Herald.

The people have formed certain opinions ns to the evidence in Gamey vs. Stratton,

but all, equally, thirst for information as to

who supplied Gamsy with that Ç1500 ? That he deposited 81500. on or about Sept.

11th is sure ; the evidence of Chase, Myers, the liveryman’s books, his drivers, Costello

the messenger, Dr. Chamberlain, Inspector

of Prispns, and others all contradict Mr. Gamey.

Weill the question still is—“Where, and from whom did Gamey get the money” ?

Let the Judges do the province the favor

of widening the investigation so as to show where the money came from.

Mr Hoyle asked two questions in the Ontario House last week which go far to explain the reason for the Tories’ long stay in the cold shades of Opposition.

Mr Hoyle is one of the beet men in Opposition and is looked upon as a proa-

peotivo leader. Here are his question :—1st. What does

the Government charge for Free Grant Lands in New Ontario ?

2nd. How much has the Government rooeived from the sale of Free Grant

Lands ? The Minister replied "Free Grant

Lands, are in fact what they are in name,

Free.”

WHERE DID THE MONEY COME FROM ?

The Royal Commission has so far dis-

charged its responsible duties in the inves- tigation of the Gamey indictment to the

entire satisfaction of intelligent and reason- able men, but the issue will not be satis- factory if any uncertainty remains and

guilt is not brought home. For this reason the important and entirely pertinent

qnestion is ; “Where did the money come

from ?

Without venturing to estimate the value of the evidence submitted, it may be said that the exoneration of the Provincial Secretary would not fulfil the whole duty

of the Royal Commission. Were the evi-

dence such as to convict the accused Min- ister, the ends of jnstice would bo served

by a judgment in accordance with the evi-

dence. But his acquittal, if ho is innocent, would still leave the mystery unsolved and

the sources and agencies of an unforgive-

able offence undiscovered. The terms of their commission, as well as the intent of

the Legisirture and the nnmistakable

desire of the public, will not bo fully satis-

fied if any technical obstacles or private considerations make this investigation by

the Judicial Commission in any Sense or to any degree abortive. Quite apart from contradictory and plainly perjured evidence,

certain sums of money ccnstitnte an

element in the case—“Where did the money come from ?

No worthy interest of either political party or of the publié life of Canada will

be served by a judgment that will leave any saspicion or uncertainty in the public

mind. If the balance of probability in th® oonflioting evidence goes strongly to ex-

culpate the Provincial Secretary, and if

the finding of the Judges is in his favor, the reflex of that verdict will be the inevi-

table condemnation of the member for

Manitoulin, the forfeiture of bis seat as an

honorable member of Parliament, and something of discredit to those who so

readily and eagerly accepted his unsub- stantiated statements and endorsed his sus- piciously indirect oondnot. But that is

not all there is in the case before the Jud- ges, It the Provincial Secretary were found guilty, it would be in the interests of

political purification to inquire into the possible complicity of other Ministers, as

indicated in the terms of the commission ; if the member for Manitoulin is guilty, and

if there has been a plot or conspiracy to

overthrow the Government, the discovery

and punishment of his colleagues would bo imperatively in the interest of political

morality. To prove directly or indirectly

that one man with a low moral standard

and a vulpine sagacity has been able to live by his wits either in business or in polities

would not satisfy thsjust demands of honest citizens : his confederates, if he has any, must be brought to jnstice. And so

the question in the present investigation

is pressed upon the judges : “Where did the

money oome from ?

If, when the ease has been fully present- ed by the eminent oonnsel for the respec- tive parties, data sufficient for an answer

to that question has not been provided, it

will still be open to the Judges to direct investigation along other lines, regardless

of the interests or perils of either party, so

that the last refuge of political villainy

may be uncovered and the first step taken

in the redemption of politics from the

present disgrace.—The Globe

Our Ottawa Letter. The Budget debate closed on Thursday

night though Tuesday the 5th was fixed as the day to which it would last. A sharp turn was given to it however, by two speeches, especially noticeable as to the line pursued, namely the speeches of the Hon. Mr. Tarte and Mr, Geo. Taylor of Leeds,

Mr. Borden, the leader of the Opposition, in his speech kept very closh to his ambig- uous demand for “Adequate Protection,’* without defining it.

His lieutenants also carefully avoided explaining what is meant by the word “adequate,” but Mr, Tarte and Mr. Taylor went further and defined the meaning quite fully enough to plainly indicate the intention. Mr. Tarte claimed the duties should be at least up to an average of 50 per cent upon dutiable articles as adequate protection, and Mr Taylor said, if necessary to keep out foreign goods, the duties should

be even 100 per cent, if no less would keep out foreign goods.

These definitions stated by two of the leading high duty men voting with the Opposition, gave away the nice sounding term “adequate protection” and put the Opposition in line of very high duties. The result was a complete stampeding of the Opposition, and instead of following up the debate as was arranged between the leaders, the speakers on the Opposition side were called off and a sudden ending was reached on Thnrsday night. Some very instructive figures were brought out in the course of this debate and the country will be enabled to see as never before, the great difference between a high tariff called “adequate protection,” or National Policy or other high sounding title, and the tariff for revenue as is now the case. With a tariff claimed to be too low to sait the ideas of the Opposition, the present government has bad very large revenues, and we find that the debt of the country on the first day of May 1903, is about the same as it was in 1897, the first year of their new pol- icy-rln Other words the business of the country has been carried on, the Inter- colonial Railway has been renewed and pat upon a modern basis at an expense for equipment to about five million dollars, the Drummond County Railway purchase, the Yukon Country has been developed, the Northwest Territories opened up, large- ly increased expenses have been incurred for immigration, immense sums have been expended upon new markets, new systems and developements of market's for batter, cheese, fruit, bacon and hay, of the far- mers’ generally, and large subsidies to de- velop railways through the North-West, the completing of the St. Lawrence canal system, building the expensive wharfage at the terminal points of Quebec, Sorei, Mont- real, and Port Colborne ; the South African war expenses, and the Jubilee and Corona- tion contingents—All these extraordinary expenditures have been made under the present government and which were not made under the old government—and still the net debt of the country on the 25th. April 1903 is $261,620,683 49 and on the 30th. June 1897 the debt was.$261,538,596, or the small sum of only $82,000 more than in 1897.

When this state of affairs is compared with the old days when an average of near- ly nine millions a year was added to the debt of the country and the general public was being “bled white” by still higher duties than are in force to-day, the public can see now very clearly the awlul drain which was made upon the farmers, laborers and general tax payers, and which went into the pockets of the combines of this country instead of into the treasury for the use of the country.

No more practical lesson in explanation of the difference between the policies of the late and present governments could be given by any amount of speech making, and little wonder indeed that the Opposition called off any further discussion of th® subject of their “high duty,” “National Pol- icy” “or adequate protection” hobby horse.

The member for Glengarry (Mr. Schell) in a short speech brought out the situation of the parties and their policies as above outlined. First his points were well taken» and, when he said “as between tbe manu- facturer and high duty, and the farmer''and consumer and low duties, I stand for the latter,” he stated the issue clearly.

Hon. Mr Paterson closed the debate for Government in a rousing, powerful

speech, and Mr Clarke of Toronto, closed for the Opposition, with a masterly hand- ling of a bad case, and a vote of the House sustained the Government by a majority of fifty-four.

Prominent amongst the ablo speeches made were those of D. C. Fraser of Guys- borough, R Lemieux of Gaspe, and Col. Thompson of Haldimand.

The session is likely to be much shorter than was expected a week ago. Tbe Bud- get debate has been so disappointing to the Opposition, and a cloud of sadness hangs over the spirit of their dreams, that they seem to feel it useless to fight against the inevitable, and when their talk is shut off and they get down to business, weeks will be saved in the length of tbe session.

THE ST. CATHERINE’S WELL.

In the “Garden City of Canada,” eleven miles from Niagara Falls is situated the historical “St. Catherine's Well,” about which is woven many a romantic Indian legand, and whose curative properties are known far and wide throughout North America. The waters of this famous Well is saline, and its prototype in Europe, is the celebrated Kreutznach Springs, in Prussia. The waters of this spring are a great specif- ic for such diseases as rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, liver troubles, skin diseases and cases of nervous prostration, or as a tonic pure and simple.

“ The Welland,” the principal building in which these waters are used, is situated near the. outskirts of St. Catharines, and most comfortable accomodation can be had there at reasonable rates.

Panic in People’s F.aces

Winnipeg, Man., May 4.—A S]»_'cial despatch from Frank, N.W.T., says that Chief Engineer McHenry has, through Premier Haultain, given warning that further slides of rook may occur at any moment. From observatiqns made by him ho fears that the remaining portion of the little place may be overwhelmed with a rush similar to that which has al- ready caused so much de.stxuction. The town, is now deserted, the Pre- mier having advised the residents to leave, and a special train was se- cured to take them to neighboring towns, where accommodation might bo had. There is no excitement, and general quiet prevails.

I’l-ank was practically depopulated yesterday, and last evening tho place was almost deserted. At early morning tho exodus began. It com- menced when on their return from a climb of inspection made to tho top of tho mountain from the Blairmore, Mining Inspector Smith, Superinten- dent McCarthy and Prospector By- ron announced that danger lurked in tho picturesque background. Tho an- nouncement was officially communi- cated to the Board of Trade at a subsequent mecti{ig. Stops v^ro im- mediately takaü to notify tho vil- lagers who had not already gono that no time should bo lost in get- ting away. This move, however, had boon anticipated.

Thero was no confusion, no panic; but there was despair, and it ap- peared on tho faces of tho towns- people. Not much was said; thero was no time for parley. Premier Haultain, in view of tho opinion ex- pressed by tho C.P.R. engineer, con- ferred with the police officials, and before 10 o’clock it had been decided to request, without demanding, that tho populace move out for the night. Tho C.P.K. before midnight had an engine and some cars run in from tho west and gave free transporta- tion to all who desired to move. Many walked to Blairmore, two miles west of Frank. Loss than twenty-five people slept in Frank last night. Yesterday’s moving out was done quickly. I'amilies made short work of packing their belong- ings into wagons and on to tho backs of mules. A few of the mer- chants doing business in a small way got away with various quanti- ties of stock in trade. The largo deal- ers locked their doors and departed.

Even in the moving process, seri- ous though it was, thero crept in a vein of humor. One man was seen vainly endeavoring to navigate ihe principal street under a burden of many lengths of stove pipe. In ano- ther quarter a family in tho hurry to place danger behind them carried out a hot kitchen stovo from which tho smoke sputtered in little gusts. Tho sick and wounded wero trans- ferred to Blairmore.

A curious phase of the last ' two days, perhaps tho last of tho town of Frank's official existence, has been tho boom in the bar trade at the three hotels.

Since Friday thero have been no bodies recovered from tho ruins, and while the fate of the town depends upon tho fall of one or both peaks loft standing on the top of Turtle Mountain, it is not thought probable that any further attempts will be made to search tho immense cause- way of fallen rock.

Tho report made by tho party who visited Iho peak of tho mountain was in effect the east peak of tho mountain, if not actually creeping,, might be expected to fall at a time when least expected. A fissure or creiico had been discovered. It is one thou.sand feet in length by twen- ty feet in breadth. Tho communica- tion . of this fact had tho effect of making short work of the final scenes of the departure from Frank.

Tile need for relief and aid is not urgent. President Chambers of tho Board of Trade made the official statement yesterday morning that not more than $3,000 would bo re- quired to defray cost of recovering as many bodies as possible, and pro- viding temporarily for those chil- dren left destitute. Tho business men of Frank have been energetic in meet- ing all immediate demands.

The Dead Number 75.

Frank, N.W.T., May 4.—The list of dead has reached 75, consisting of four miners at tno entrance to th<| mine, nineteen top laborers, 27 ’wo- men and children, and 25 railway la- borers.

Ex-Maycr Ames* Trial.

Minneapolis, . Minn., May 4.—When the trial of former Mayor A. A. Ames for bribery was resumed Sat- urday. Irwin A. Gardner, who swears he collected money for the Mayor from unfortunate women, declared that he had given lus evidence with- out promise or immunity or reward of any kind from the State. Thomeis M. Brown, who was the Mayor's sec- retary, produced a list of ''roomers" he had found in tho Mayor’s desk while cleaning it out. This was after the Mayor had left town. It was in the handwriting of Charles H. Hill, the Mayor's captain of police, and presumably v/as the list of women w.lio wore paying for protection.

A. McDOUGALL,

Letter to the Editor. The Manse

Dunvegan, April 29th. 1903.

To the Editor of the News. Dear Sir,—

“In the granting of a license to W. J. McBae, of Dunvegan, the Commission- ers stated that they would, with the next application, should such be for- warded, require a full and proper cer- tificate to accompany application, such a step being too late for this year.*’

I cannot let the foregoing paragranh to pass unchallenged, as the statement it makes is not in accordance with the facts of the case, and that the public may be seized by these, I beg you to allow mo sufficient space in your columns to enable me to vindicate the position I have hitherto taken in this whole matter, and my reasons there for.

Last year and this, I and a large number of the electors in the subdivision opposed the granting of the license above referred to, on these grounds :—

1st. A licensed bouse was uncalled for and unnecessary in the neighborhood.

2nd. The place for which the license was sought was in too close proximity to a church building used exclusively for public worship.

3rd. The applicant’s certificate was not sufficiently signed.

4th. Such a place in our quiet village would be a trap and a snare to our young people.

5ih The opplicant had been t^ioe con- victed of selling without a hoeufe, first on the 16th of January, second, on May 10th. This latter judgmont was by some neglect or mismanagement cither inteutioually or unintentionally not rendered until the 10th. May, although the information was lodged on the 7th. of April.

Every one of these contentions was borne out by the facts that were laid before the Commissioners, both last year and this. The law grants the right to the electors of the subdivision to make these objections to the Commissioners. This was done, and authorities from the Pro- vincial License Department in Toronto affirmed that the license in tha circum- stances could not be legally granted, from which authorities I would willingly quota were it not that I might thereby make too great a demand on the space your courtesy places at my disposal, but the whole of which was read in the hearing of both Inspector and Board. As I understand the law, even if nneppositibn whatever bad be^ set np against the granting of this license, the ComraîijslonifS'.Wêfe nndnr no obligation to graii^ fl^of all these oontentiOM in^4^1atn|of the Statute, the noAw has oera granted both last year end this. The same objec- tions were even more urgently pressed against it this year than last. It is true it is claimed by the Commissioners that for last year’s license they had the authority of a certified certificate. It was proved before the Commissioners last year and again this year that that certificate was certified to through an error of the muni- cipal clerk who made the certification- The former Board knew all these things as did also the Inspector, and yet in violation of the rights of the community concerned, they granted the license last year, for which they paid the penalty of being re- moved from office, the position of the Inspector himself, also being likewise imperilled thereby. The new Board and the Inspector were fully informed of alj these facts at its late meeting, when a petition signed by 118 electors was present* cd through me in opposition to the renewal of the license. I ask you, Mr. Editor, is it reasonable or right that four men who are appointed by law to safe guard the interests of the community, should so flagrantly misuse their power and simply set at de- fiance the earnestly and repeatedly express- ed convictions of the majority of the people who are supposed to have so much at stake in a matter of this kind. In my bumble judgment in the light of all the circumstan- ces, there was not the shadow of a ground for the granting of this license, and it is fitting that the public should know that the Christian people of Dunvegan will not passively submit to this Infringement of their lights, but will persistently main, tain their attitude of opposition and resist- ance iu defence of their rights.

Ignoring the position 1 have all along taken in this matter as conscientiously acting in tha best interests of the district over which I have in the providence of God been given the pastoral oversight, I have more than once been charged with exer- cising and unchristian spirit, and being influenced by ‘‘spite.” Those who best know me will not require the offirmation that I repudiate and deny any such allega- tion. I have simply discharged my duty as a citizen and Christian minister iu the interests of all concerned, and with the help of God, I mean to continue to do lo.

Frank, N.W.T., May 2.—The only authentic story of escape of the seventeen miners who were employed in the Frank Mine was told by Jos- eph Chapman at the inquest, which was opened yesterday. Coroner And- erson of MacLeod conducted the in- quiry. The following jury was im- panelled; Thomas McDonnell, fore- man; C. A. Gardner, William Ev- ans, Leonard Wolburn, James Cope- land and Chas. Chestnut, all of Frank.

Story of a Survivor.

Chapman’s story is as follows: "I was one of the seventeen men in tho mine when the fail took place. I felt tho concussion very severe. I was at top of number 8 manway and I noticed that the air in the workings was forcing everything before it to- ward tho outside of tho mountain, and tho coal began to fall, and threatened to close the same. I started to make down tho manway. tVe arranged that those who were not cutting would have to sit to one side out of the road, while some were cutting timbers and others were keeping close watch on the lamps. Some wont back for timbers, and so wo worked on for about an hour, when we found that the air was get- ting bad. tVe then decided W'o would kill tho horses in a few minutes if the air did not clear.

•‘Two decided to go back to No. 8 manway to see if they could attempt to go out through the upper tunnel. They found they could hardly keep their lamps lit in tho manway, so the.y came l)ack behind us. They could see it coming in the m.anway.

‘‘By the time I got down there were three other men in tho crosscut, and one of them, Evan Jones, called mo to help him to pull a man out who had been cIo.scd in tho crosscut. tVo got him out and then all started down the manway. tVe decided to wait until 7 o’clock in the morning to see if we cpiild hear anyone out- side, and if wo Couldn't hear iutyone at that time wc; were to starF‘'and rut through.

So they went down into tho bottom level to see how the water was, and they reported that 24 hours, ns nearly as they could toll, would fetch tho water into the cutting where we were working. We decided our time was limited, and we should have to pound for all wo were worth to try to get out. We finally decided to remove all wo could between tho rocks, and wo shoved tho smallest man In tho crowd through as far as wo could and lot him shout for help. Evan Jones said ho would lie satisfied to lot us shove him up, so wo finally got others to help us to move the rocks and got out all our gang. Sev- enteen in all got safely out.

Old Not Hear Any Explosion.

"I neither felt nor heard any explo- sion inside the mine until the force of air struck me and very nearly picked mo up and threw me into the manway. The blast was full of coal dust. My opinion expressed to my companions was that a hot wave of air had mixed witli a cold one and had exploded tho cold one. I attrib- Mtod tho hot wave to bo caused by something wrong with tho boiler, •loncs agreed with me, McKenzie al- so. 1 tliink the fall of rock was caused by some disturbance of the earth.”

34 Men, 8 "Women and 20 Children'Were Killed at Frank.

Ottawa, May 2.—This is tho sulj- stance of oflicial telegram of c.xtent of loss of life at Frank, read by Sir Wilfrid >esterday in tho Commons: The following is probably more near- ly a correct estimate of loss than any yet: ;t4 men, 8 women, 20 chil- dren killed; 11 injured, probably one die, two or three dangerouslly, have good attendance. Only two killed in or near mine. Ten dead recovered, remainder nearly all buried under many feet of rock, possibly a few near edge of slide may l)o recovered.

Killed: Miners, 21; balance, ranch- ers, merchants, liverymen, engineers, railway Contractors, laborers; six cottages totally destroyed by rock, swept away like feathers and broken into matchwood. One partially ruined. Inhabitations of ranchers and others outside Frank destroyed. All machinery installed and large amount of now machiner}/ near tun- nel mouth totally destroyed; tipple scales, engine hoiiso and all other plants dc.stroycd. Uncertain whether or not tunnel materially injured, probably not.

Great Rock Slide.

w. w. Leach, B.A.S.C., of the Geo- logical Survey, telegraphs from Frank: The Frank disaster is simply a great rock slide, from near tho top of Turtle Mountain.

INDESCRIBABLE CHAOS.

Graphic Story of the Upheaval of Turtle Mountaiu.

Frank, N.W.T., May 2.—Tj'ttcr dc3^ blation roigns on the site ol tho onco busy little Town of Frank- The stu-*

ponclous avalanche from tho.summit of Turtlo Mountain did its work witli awful celerity. Millions of tons of rock fill the valley of tho Old Man Uiver to a height of in many places one hundred feet, and presenting a scene of indescribable chaos.

Dazed by the shock of ^Ycdncsday morning's disaster tho remaining in- habitants of tho town wander aim- lessly about in a vain attempt to locate tho bodies of their dear ones who, by nature's mighty upheaval, were in the twinkling of an eye an- nihilated.

To the stranger approaching the scene of the disaster from Cowley (tho only means of approach as yet open to the outside world), the ex- tent of the cataclysm becomes ap- parent. Millions of tons of rock pil- ed into vast irregular masses cover- ed tho whole space at tho foot of tho mountain, and huge boulders thrown clear accross the valley, lie scattered in thousands up the eastern slope fbe- hind the town. Only a few buildings can be seen standing forth amid the wilderness of limestone, trees and gravel covering a space of one and one-half miles wide and two miles long.

The railroad track for a distance of three miles east of tho station is blotted out of sight 1)V the aval- anche, and now li<‘S i“orevcr buried to a depth of fi*om fifty to onc-hundred feet. As the first relief party from Cowley stood upon tho‘slope over- looking tho site of the Town of Frank and realized that beneath :that hideous mass of rock were buried many .whom they held dear, the whole i)arty V.'ere utterly di'prcssed by tho magnitude of tho disaster, and many eyes were dimmed by tears.

Those residents of the ill-fatc'd town who wore fortunate enough to come safely throngli the catastrophe say the scene at 1 h(> time of tho av- alanche is al)Solnlel\- beyond descrip- tion. As the thunder and boulders caused by the u[)hoaval awakened the .sleeping townsjxople, and boulders and debris crashed down upon the cottages nestling at the foot of the mountain, those few who were fortu- nate to be out of tho direct line of flight of the rocky downpour, ru.shetl out into the night, and panic-strick- od, ran up the street away from the roar. The wor.st of the noise was over in three or four minutes, and they returned back to the hotel, but those few minutes were chough to fill u}) a peaceful valley with debris and to crash out in a moment the lives of nearly 100 sleeping men, wo- men and children.

The C.P.R. is cutting a pack trail for horses around the slide and has commenced work on a road which will be some four miles long for the piiri)ose of making transfers. C.P.R. officials are discouraging nil attempts to make the trip through the pass under which the railway track for two niil(‘S is covered many foot deep with millions of tons of tho rock. The district in this neighborhood is covered with a fresli fall of snow, and this fact helps to render a trip through the pass extremely hazard- ous. The walk around and over the mountain to Fi’ank covers a distance e.sfimaled at more than five mdc'S.

The s]HH:ial party from Calgary, with nurses, doctors and mounted po- lice. in charge of Superintendent Primi’oso. have now arrived here.

The death roll was increased yes- tcrda.v by the names of Wm. and John Dohbles and John Lireuna and .iohn Clark, all miners.

Ottawa, May 2.—Miss Addio Berry, daughter of a Hull Township farmer, was burned to death in tho forest fire north of Aylmer Thursday. Her charred remains were found yester- day morning. She was 28 years of age.

Buckingham, Que.—Bush fires have swept tho country on tho east side of tho LiotTo, some 40 families are homeless and dcstitutq as a result. Tho village of Notre DamO de la .Sa- lette narrowly escaped destruction.

Washington, May 2.—The case of the United States, which is to be laid before tha Alaskan Boundary Commission, has been completed, and was yesterday delivered at tho British Embassy, here. At the same time tho British case was turned over in London to tho American Embas- sy. Tho United States case makes a volume of no less than 650 pages.

The next step will bo tho prepara- tion of tho counter cases, and these must be delivered, one in Washington and one in London, July 3 next. All this is preparatory to the meeting of tho Joint Commission, which will take place in London, Sept. 3.

Montreal, May 2.—The teamsters of tho city have gone out in sym- pathy with tho striking longshore- men, and tho teamsters employed, by tho freight forwarding companies re- fused to work on the wharves yes- terday, resulting in tho goods being left on tho quays up to a late hour last ovetting. There was no trouble on tho Wharves, tho strikers closel,v following tho advice given by their chief by maintaining a sullen silence.

EVIDENCE OF MR. DUNSMUIR.

/

Why He Cancelled Grants to the Can-

adlan Tacific-Blr. Wells Was Told

That Two SXembers of the House

Were to Heceivo One Share

£ach in the Land

Company.

Victoria, B. C., May 4.—British Columbia has a political sensation, os a result of disclosures made Sat- urday at the Legislative enquiry be- ing held into the subsidy for build- ing the Columbia & Western Rail- way, which had not been paid. The act provided that land bo awarded in alternate blocks, continuous or as close as possible to the line. Later, arrangements were made to grant to the company two blocks in South- east Kootenay, hundreds of miles from the road> and which are alleged to bo rich in coal and oil. Crown grants were issued but not delivered.

Mr. Uunsmuir’s Kvidence.

Ex-Premier Dunsmuir gave evi- dence Saturday before the enquiry, which was called to enquire into why these blocks should have been select- ed, that ha had cancelled the grants because he learned that everything was not right. The Order-in-CouncLl granting these two blocks had been made in his absence. He made an order approving the grant in Sep- tember, being told that the province would save 300,000 adres by the ar- rangement. ~ '

Mr. Wells, Commissioner of Lands and Works, wont to Miontreal with the grants to the Canadian Paciftc Railway, but returned with them, ■l’he witness then learned that there was somethlrig wrong in connection with the deal and ho cancelled the grants. He did this as a result of a certain thing—he would not say what —that Mr. Wells had told him. IPe was told that Mr. Wells had been of- fered 30,000 acres of the lands if lie would hand over the grants to the Canadian Pacific Railway. He, ns Premier, cancelled the grants, as iio did not w'ant any crooked liusiness while he was doing it.

Mr. AVülls Confirms It.

Mr. Wells said the cx-Promicr’a statement was substantially correct. Ho hqd been told in Montreal that a company was being formed in Mon- treal to take over the blocks of land, and two members of the Legis- lature were to be allotted one each, of the twenty shares.

In the course of a lengthy editori- al, a local paper says: “Nothing less than tile appointment of a Royal Commission will bo satisfactory to the electorate or to the Legislature. The reputations of some of the mem- bers are at stake. Aspersions have boon cast upon their character, which can only be removed by the light of a full and complete investigation. It has boon charged that certain of the members ware to tlio traiïsfçt of tlio qulHi tion 11 the ( 1 I it tI*V the Ilousevw'iH. with one voice, in- sist on tteiit charge being proven ot refuted.

MARfiN SHOT HIS BOY.

FatUol-’s Teiiinio lirior Results lu Death of Four-Ycar-Oltl ?ou.

Bloomfield, May 4—A very sad ac- cident occurred in this vicinity Sat-> urday at the farm of (Jeorge Martin, Ridge Row. Mr. Martin while at work thought he saw a tvoodchuck hiding liehind a stump, some distance from, him. Ho spoke to the man working v.ilh him, who also felt confident as to Martin’s suspicions. Martin ran for his gun, but no sooner had ho fired than he hoard a scream, from liis little four-year-old son, whom ho had shot through the back of the head. The little fellow had a brown, velvet hood on, and the sun shining upon it, evidently was the cause of the fatal, mistake. The child lived only a few hours.

Mrs. Hatton Droivned.

Brockville, May 4.—Saturday after- noon about 4 o’clock two lads. De- vine and Donovan, playing on the ri\ov shore near Mallory’s wharf, at tile east end, discovered the body of a woman floating in the water. They at once gavo' the alarm, and it was niuoved to Swartz’s undertaking rooms. The body was identtfed there by a nurse from the General Hospital as that of Joanna Hatton, aged al;oiit 55, who had been a par tient, at -the hospital for nervous trouble. She w'as of a good family and possessed of considerable proper- ty. An inquest is being held.

Tlirougli a Crov.cl of l.DOO People

nt l>etr<»if: on Sunday.

Detroit, May 4.—The Grand Trunl< Ran-American Flyer from Chicago ran into a crowd of 1,000 people at the corner of Doquindcr and Canfield plrcots nt 8.30 last evening, killing ten to fifteen men, and seriou.s’y in- juring about thirty more. The ma- jority of the killed and wounded arc from Toledo.

Fifteen hundred Toledo Polauders came up to Detroit yesterday morn- ing on a special Lake Shore train to celebrate a holiday. They left the train^ at the corner of Dequindor and Canfield streets and went over to St. Joseph’s Church, whore they spent the day with the congregation. The Lake Shore tracks run out De- quinder street and a special train was to stop for the Toledo excur- sionists at Canfield avenue at 8.30.

Accompanied by hundreds of their local friends, waiting for tho train, the excursionists jaijmed Canfield avenue some time before the train was due, in readiness for it. When the train was sighted the crowd pushed across the track, and on to the Grand Trunk tracks which ad- joins those of the Lake Shore, just as the Grand Trunk Pan-American Express came thundering from tho West.

People XhroTTU Into Air.

The people were thrown into the air and dashed to either side of the track. Many Of them were ground under the wheels.

The police department was notified and all the ambulances in the city rushed to tho scene.

The victims were scattered along the tracks for a distance of two blocks.

Lanterns were procured and tlie work of rescue began immediately. The scene reflected by the light of the lanterns was horrible. Gradually tho mangled and crushed bodies were recovered and sent to the hospital when there was a flicker of life loft, and to the morgue when there was none.

At 10 o’clock four of the dead had been identified.

I'he flyer was stopped as quickly as possible and backed to the scene of the. catastrophe, where for two blocks the track was covered with mangled and dying people. Four of the dead were killed outright, and the others died after being taken to the hosiiitals.

THREE HUNDRED DEAD.

Principal Streets of Salonica Were Mined . —Insurgents Captured.

Paris, May 4.—A despatch received Iiero from Salonica says that tho po- lice there; in their search for persons suspected of being concerned in tho dynamite outrages, discovered that the revolutionists had m-'ned the principal districts of the town, with

'the intentiton ' of' blowing them up simultâïloously, but circumstances forced them to act before their pro- jiarati^ns were ' finished, and tho planned disaster was averted. The 'ruikisb population, however, is dan- gorou.sly infiamed. It is estimated that three hundred persons are dead as tho result of the outbreaks. One thousand arrests have been made.

' A complete bomb manufacturing plant has been discovered in a shoe- maker’s shop, communicating by an underground passage with the Otto- man Bank. It is feared that the presence of the three Austrian war- ships, which arrived hero yesterday, will encourage the Bulgarians to irr. ritàte tho Turks, who up to the pre- sent time have behaved well.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.

Death of Mr. G. B. Fraser.

Toronto, May 4.—Mr. Geo. B. Fraser, one of Toronto’s heat known business men,, expired Saturday morning after a brief illness. Pneu- monia was tho cause of death. Fu- neral services were hold last evening, and the remains taken to G.uelph 1er interment early this morniiig. The remains were received at Guelpli by members of the Masonic fraternity, tlio Caledonian Society and many citizens. Mr. Fraser was a resident of Guelph for twenty years before re- moving to Toronto, where he held many pulilic positions of confidence. He was born in Tain, Ross-shirc, ■Scotland, in 1830. Mr. Fraser was a t birty-third, degree Mason, and one of tho substantial business men of the city.

Suicide by Gas.

Toi’onto, May 4''.—Death by gas was the choice of Samuel Guest, a young mechanic, who has been room- ing at 5 Peter street.

SEED BOXES.

An Early Start For Plants—Tcstlna: Varions Seeds.

Seed boxes can easily be constructed in the house and the new seeds planted in them be made to produce good sized plants by the time the ground is warm enough for them to grow outside. In this way an excellent start of the sea- son can be obtained, says Ohio Farmer, which suggests some good arrange- ments for testing and forcing seeds.

First obtain any long, narrow box or boxes from the grocer or dry goods store and arrange these on benches in some out of the way corner of the liv- ing room. Of course they generally do

better near the stove, for there they can get plenty of artificial heat, but not always Is this strictly essential. Next fill up the bottom with a layer of stones and then with gravel, and final- ly with sandy loam or a rich leaf mold with sandy soil. Clear sand even is good for the forcing seed boxes.

Seeds planted in boxes thus arranged (see the figure) and covered with a slight layer of soli should have plenty of water sprinkled over them daily and considerable heat applied from below. In this way the seeds can be made to germinate In a few days, and If a few of the seeds from the different pack- ages are used the percentage of those that germinate can be noted. Indeed It Is quite essential that this test should he applied whenever one is experi- menting with seeds that he knows nothing about.

A good way Is to arrange these seed boxes behind the stove in the kitchen, in which case plants enough can be started to fill a good sized garden. It Is also advisable that each box be la- beled, so that the plants will not get mixed.

THE APPLE ORCHARD.

What J. H. Hale Would Do With It. <^Culture’' I» His Rale.

Apropos of tho new theory of keep- lii,g a grass mulch on the orchard J. H. Hale of Connecticut says in Rural New Yorker; If the orchard w-as mine 1 should tackle it this coming spring with a broadcast application of some good fertilizer; stable manure if I had plen- ty of it; if not, fine ground bone, pot- ash In Its cheapest and most available form and a moderate amount of nitro- gen. I would then put in a stiff, steady team and a good, strong plow / and break it up thoroughly to the depth of four or five inches. I would have a man follow the plow with a good, sharp ax and give a smooth cut to all large refots that were broken. The trees themselves I should prune in a moder- ate way, no reckless cutting and slash- ing. I should wet the bodies and larger limbs and scrape them thoroughly if they were covered with rough bark that could be thus got off.

Spring* and Summer Care. Some time lu March I should spray

the ti’ees either with strong potash wa- ter or sulphate of copper wash; later, as the buds were swelling, a good spraying of bordeaux and probably an- other bordeaux spraying with some ar- senical poison mixture along in May or early June. Assuming that the plowing has all been done in April, and the ear- lier the better, I should give thorough culture through May, June and July with most approved Implements at hand. A spring tooth harrow would sCrv® the purpose best. A good liming of the land or a liberal dressing of hardwood ashes along the last of July and then seeding the whole to clover lyould be my way of finishing up the season.

Tlie Winter Treatment. The following winter I should give

whatever further pruning seemed desir- able and spray according to apparent needs; a little fertilizer in the spring if my pockethook would stand it, and then start tho harrows the minute frost and mud would admit and keep up the cul- tivation same as bef6re. By the second year the orchard ought to begin to feel and show the results of such treatment and perhaps to do some business on its own account. Further annual treatment would continue along about the same lines, provided of course the results were such as to warrant it Breaking and tearing as many roots as would bo likely in this first plowing up would be a great shock to the trees and prob- ably force a strong development of fruit buds the first year of cultivation, and so I should reasonably expect a fine crop of apples the second year, but it is one thing to expect results from ail orchard and another to get them. A forty acre apple orchard rightly han- dled is worth a lot of money and ought to pay all tho hills and leave a splendid profit on top of it I am a believer in culture and have mighty little sympa- thy with the general orchardists who expect to get success in any other way.

Flantluff Peas. Soil light and dry and not too rich

suits the pea, which should be sown as soon as the ground can be worked and at intervals of ten days for succession. Sprouting them in a box of moiM sand In a warm cellar before planting out- side will give a considerable gain in earliness. Peas grown carelessly In tlie garden for several seasons deteriorate and a re not profitable seed.

Thc following is a verbatim report of the speech on the Budget delivered by J. T. Schell, M.P., on Wednesday of last week :

Mr. Speaker, during the progress of this debate some very important statements have been made which have brought out some situations worthy of of notice. The hon. Minister of Finance (Hon. Mr. Field- ing) in delivering his budget, stated clearly, I think, the reasons why he has* decided that there should be no changes in the tariff at the present time. He did not say that there should be no changes for one year, or two years, or for a number of years, but he said at the present time. Ha gave as a reason for this decision the buoy- ant condition of the general business of the country. Last year the cry of the opposition in'the matter of the tariff, cen

tered almost entirely upon the one item of woollens. Not one specific statement has been made, not one special complaint has been delivered by the opposition, but they have confined themselves to general ques- tions and they have not indicated so far any particular line of trade or commerce that is suffering at the present time. The surtax proposed to be imposed on German goods will probably meet to a large extent, if not entirely, their objections, so far as the woollen trade is concerned. Now, we do not hear any specific complaints so far as any other line of manufacture is con- cerned. It is no more than fair in criticis ing the budget speech that statements should be specifically made. Yet, the oppo sition have so far not even contended that there are any special lines of trade requir- ing changes in the tariff in order to ensure their success and prosperity. If we take note of the reports of the annual meetings of the cotton companies which have been lately held, we will find - that they state business to be good. They have declared fair dividends. Some of the companies have declared dividends even as high as 9 per cent. That would indicate that there is really no cause for serious oomplaiut as regards cottons. Any man who has been iu business for the last few years knows thoroughly well that in almost every line of business the only dîffîculty has been that the manufacturers have not been able to supply goods in sufficient quantity to meet the demands of the people of the country. Scarcely any line of business furnishes quo tations which are not subject to withdrawal at any moment and a large number of manufacturers, especially in the iron trades send out quotations which are not standard quotations. Thit< has been the case for several years. It is not a question of hold- ing Canada for the Canadian’s, but it has been absolutely impossible for theCanadian manufactureis for the last few years to till the orders offered to them, and the result is that the people of Canada have been obliged to go abroad to buy a lot of the goods which they reqt)irg and which have been brought into ihis country. That fitatemer.t is borne out by the fact that there is scircely a manufacturing c*: o rn in the Dominion of Canada but is t 'iili g to its plant to euable it to get on* -'he orders offered to it. Manufacturing pi : >ts are being increased all over the J.)omi .*ni. The hon. leader of the, opposiii .u (Mr. Borden, Halifax) s«ated again his posicion iu regaid to adequate protection, but he did not deign to g^i into details or to make any specific statement as to what he meant by adequate protection. So far as he is con- cerned this House has been left entirely in the dark and we have bad to got ourinform ation otherwise, and that information has been forthcoming from several quarters.' When the hon. member for St. Mary’s, Montreal (Hon. Mr. Tarte) made a state- ment f'i his position, and he said that he believed he was speaking to a large extent for the people of Canada, he -aid that the duties bhoulil be raised to on iverage of 50 per cent upon dutiable good • coming into the country. When he niH.I,* that state ment it was loudly apphiud li on the oppo sition side of the House by lion, members generally and by the leaders particularly. That indicated that the hon. gentlemen had expressed their position upon that matter. They agree with the hon. member for St. Mary’s, Montre^J, th.iC the tariff should be upon the basis <.>f un uvernge duty of 60 per cent and the hon. member for South Leeds (Mr. Taylor) has gone so far as to say : Yes, and even 100 per cent, if necessary. Upon this point tbeposition of the two parties to day are well defined. The position is definitely stated upon the Liberal side of the House in the speech of the hon. Minister of Finance. He hsg indicated that the tariff as it stands to-day

shall be the tariff for the future. He has indicated that the tariff stands to day and as it has stood for the last four or five years, shall not be interferred with, at all events at present. On the opposition side of the House the position has been taken, not definitely by the leader, but practically definitely by the party, that the average rate of duty must be from 50 per cent up to 100 per cent. I am pleased pérsonally that the issue has become so plainly defin- ed. So far as I am concerned, and so far as the county which I represent is concern- ed, I am pleased the definition is so plainly before us. 1 am satisfied with the definition before us. I should be pleased to have the hon. member for South Leeds travel over the county of Glengarry and address meetings after the style he was indulging in last evening, and I think, so far as Liberalism in Glengarry is concern- ed, he would fix it sure and fast for many generations to come. The opposition wish to raise the tariff wall so high that all the goods required in this country shall be manufactured iu this country. Now, if all the goods required in this country were manufactured in this country where would we get the revomie ? From what source will the country draw its money to carry on the public affairs ? Will the public debt be reduced or be paid off if such a policy as that is in force ? If we were to manufact- ure all the goods in this country we could have DO revenue and if taxation is to be at the rate of 50 per cent to 100 per cent then we have the right to ask where are we going to get money to carry on the business of the country ? If we look back to the Conservative regime of eighteen years pre- vious to the advent of this administration we find that to a certain extent they did carry out this policy. We find that they were not able to scrape revenue enough together to carry on the business of the country then without increasing the public debt. We are all well aware that the debt was increased during that time by over

^$150,000,000. That is the policy they pro- posed to put in force if they should come back to power to morrow. And what is to be done with the money obtained from this increase of duties amounting from 50 to 100 per cent ? The hon. member for St. Mary’s (Hon. Mr. Tarte) told us that the manufacturers of Canada numbered two or three hundred individuals.

Hon. Mr. TARTE. I did not say two hundred ; I said several hundred.

J. T. SCHELL, M.P. Mr. SCHELL. Well, we will say that

they number a few hundred. Bat I would remind the House that not all the manu- factures of Canada have asked for increas- ed duties. I doubt if half of them have asked that the duties should be increased. Suppose there are two hundred manufac- turers ail told, and that half of them want the duties increased, then if their request is acc' ded to, this half of the manufactur ers of Canada will have the privilege of taxing the farmers and the workingmen from 50 to 100 per cent more than at present, and where will that nuniey go. Will it go to pay the debt of tin.-* country or to develop our resources ? Not one cent of it. Thtne manufacturers are not asking that that increased taxation shall go into the business of the country, or go to pay the running expenses of the government, but they ask that it shall go into their own pockets, and that the success of their busi- ness and their profits shall be guaranteed by Act of parliament. That is what they want. I well remember the change of government in 189C, and I remember how the Conservatives claimed that it was a mistake of Providence to put the Liberals in power. After the elections of 1890 the leaders of the Conservative party and many of their supporters still retained their seats here, and they proclaimed in this House that the instinct of government was with the Conservatives, and that in 1900 Provid ence would rectify the mistake made in 1890, and again call on them to direct the destinies of Canada. But it was not to be. In the four years from 1896 to 1900, the people of Canada had come to realize the success of the policy of the Liberal party in the development of their business, and 111 the extra profits they had gained from their business, and they saw at once the difference between the successful policy of the Liberal party and the defective policy of the Conservative party. And after the elections of 1900, the Conservative party came back to this House bereft of all its great leaders who had made that party famous, and many of their supporters met the same fate. The Liberals had a greater majority in 1900 than they had after the elections in 1890, a testimony that the people of Canada were able to appreciate good government. I remember that in 1900, in the town of Alexandria in my county, Sir Charles Tuppor, the Hon Geo. E. Foster, the Hon. Hugh John Macdon- ald, Mr. Bergeron, Mr. R. R. MacLennan, Mr. Quinn, Mr. Broder, and a half a dozen other notable Conservatives started a tour which they wound up in the North-west, endeavouring to electrify the people to rally to their standard. They made a great flourish of trumpets in Alexandria ; they bad a street procession and a hippo- drome worthy of any circus. The Liberals in Glengarry felt that they were taken by storm when this great galaxy of ability and talent invaded out town. But what was the result ? The people of' Glengarry are canny Scotch and they can count the dollars well. They had lived under four years of prosperous government, four years of careful administration which gave to the manufacturers and the consumers each their just share ; four years of prosperity such as up to that time this country had never known and when the votes were counted the people of Glengarry declared

that they would support the Liberal party rather than return to the policy of the Conservative party under which they had made little or no progress. Glengarry is not a manufacturing county. We have only one large manufacturing concern with in the limits of the county, and 1 may say now that that concern does not ask for any increase in the duty. The mon who con trol that manufacturing institution come of a stock who believe that they can stand upon their own merits, their own ability and their own capital, and they do not ask for an increase of duty on the goods they are manufacturing. They are prepared to meet any competition in the country and they are succeeding enormously well. The people of the county of Glengarry are largely farmers and labourers. They realize full well the benefits that have been derived and are to be derived from a tariff sneh as has*been maintained by this gov- ernment. Where in the history of this Dominion has there been greater strides made during the past six years than in the industry of mixed farming and dairying in which the majority of the people of my county are engaged? The hon. member for Leeds (Mr. Taylor) spoke about cold stor age and he took credit that the Conserva tive party had inaugurated this system. To hear him talk you would think that the Conservatives of Canada had invented cold storage. Why, Mr. Speaker, cold storage was in successful operation before the Con servative party had anything to do with it. There was a perfect system of mechanical refrigeration carrying perishable products from South America and Australia and landing them in good condition inEngland, years before it was tried in Canada. What did the Conservative Government do ? They put in a few ice boxes and called them a cold storage system, and the unfor tunate people who undertook to utilize them had their goods landed in Liverpool in a rotten and useless condition. In order to prove that this cold storage system was a good one the Conservatives bought butter at 20 cents a ponnd thronghout the country and the result was that the butter was landed in England fit only for wool grease, that it never was put on the market and sold as batter, and that it brought only 10 cents a pound in England notwithstanding that the government paid 20 cents a pound in Canada. When the Liberal government came into power they realized that some better system mast be put in operation ; they realized that they must inaugurate a cold storage system commensurate with the importance of the agricultural indust- ry, and to day we can send our butter and fruits and all perishable articles to the old country markets and deliver them there in proper condition. There is where the pre sent government has scored one success. The county of Glengarry consists of four townships, and is probably as small a coun ty in area as there is in the province of Ontario. That small county exported last year $1.030,000 worth of dairy products, acoordiug to the statement compiled by the secretary of the Dairymen’s Association of the city. That explains the reason why the people of the county of Glengarry have such a strong regard for the present govern ment. Nor do they believe in paying taxes that go into the pockets of two or three hundred individuals instead of paying' them to build pnb'ic w-)rks and promote the pro gress of the cout.try as a whole. I have never yel hevid any of the electors of Glen garry, wheth-^r Conservative or Liberal, say that they were not willing to pay their proper share uf taxation required to proper ly administer and develop this country. 1 believe that both th'* laho?iring classes and the farouM's i i »«uy part of tho province of Ontario or in this Dominion are willing to pay their full share ; but they do object to paying into the pockets of the nianufactur ers 50 or 100 per cent taxation on the articles they consume simply ht->cauae the policy of tho opposition L in favour of pro- tection in the shape of high duties. No, Mr. Spaaker, protection does not mean high duties ; it means protecting the interests of the masses of the people.

I do not intend to discuss the mass of figures which, during this debate, have been read and reread, iterated and reiterat- ed, and upon which the changes have been rung so many times. As has been said, figures can be made to prove anything ; but there is one thing remarkable in the figures which have been laid before us. With all tho extravagance charged against the government by the hon. member for Leeds (Mr. Taylor), with all the large expenditures charged by members of the opposition, with all the large revenues which the government are charged with having taken from the people, which the opposition now call taxes, though they did not do so in the old days, there is one thing that we should remember, that is, that the present government have administered the affairs of the country, have constructed large works, have developed the Yukon, have paid the cost of the South African contingents, have put the Intercolonial Railway on a proper businees basis, and have done all this from the revenues deriv- ed from the low tariff as it exists to-day, and without any large increase in the public debt, such as their predecessors made. Looking in the 'Canada Gazette’ of April 25th, you will see that this govern- ment have been able to do sll thU, and still leave the public debt within $80,000 of where they found it in the year 1897. •

“Don’t send yer paper enny more,” wrote an old timer to a Nebraska editor,” fur in last week’s paper you had a hole collum about a man named Rosavelt havin’ a sore on his leg. Now you know dog goned well that for the past two weeks I’ve had a bile on both my legs, and you never sed a word about it.”

From time to time we find ourselves compelled to run the pen through paragraphs of a strictly personal na- ture sent in, or rather sandwiched, in among the interesting “copy” sent us by contributors to our county news columns. These little squibs about residents may be fun for the writer and those who enjoy such fun at the expense of others, but we decidedly object to that style of correspondence, and will weed it out as often as no- ticed.

The town authorities should take some action in preventing such great quantities of paper from blowing all over our streets, as was the case dur- ing the past few days, particularly since the recent fire. A little fore- thought exercised in this regard by merchants and others, who apparent- ly have cultivated the habit of leaving loose • paper around their premises, would go a long way towards putting a stop to what is becoming a decided nuisance.

It may be of interest to know the day of the week of the holidays for 1903. The 21th of May comes on Sun- day, and so will be legally observed on the following day ; Dominion Day, on Wednesday ; Labor Day, Monday, September 7th ; Christmas and New Year’s are Fridays. The King’s birth- day, November 9th, is Monday, but that is not a legal holiday in Canada, The 12th of July, a holiday to many, falls on Sunday.

Ever mindful of Glengarry’s inter- ests, County Councillor D. A. Mc- Arthur has secured from the Coun- ties’ Council, authority to purchase an iron fence to surround the grounds of the Registry Office here. The posts will be set in cement blocks, and two handsome gates will be features of the structure. While in Montreal on this mission, he secured the iron approa- ches for the Beaudette bridge. They will measure 115 feet on the south side and 108 feet on the north.

The prediction is made that in ten years there will be a rural free male delivery and almost a complete tele- phone service throughout all the well- settled parts of Ontario,and that these conveniences will revolutionize coun- try life, causing people to no longer crowd to the cities. Life on the farm will certainly become pleasanter when there is a daily mail service, a prompt delivery of unexpected letters, and daily and weekly papers. 'The busi- ness end of farming can then be con- ducted on Vsound lines ; buying and selling will be facilitated. The tele- phone will also be of great advantage. —Toronto Star.

The ever thoughtful proprietor of The AJgonc^uin Hotel, Stanley Island, Mr. Jos. Duquette, is to be congratu- lated upon having made final arrange- ments with the management of the Bell Telephone Co., whereby, without delay, the latter will build a line from Summerstown to connect with their long distance main line.and will there- by give direct connection with Stanley Island. This will be a great conve- nience to the summer residents of that popular resort and congratula- tions to Mr. Duquette upon securing the privilege are now in order.

Speaking of the Jubilee Singers and minstrel troupe, to appear in Mac- Laren Hall here, on the evening of May 18tb,* Ernest Keow, manager of the North Bend Opera House, says “The Canadian Jubilee Singers gave an entertainment in our Opera House last evening. The entertainment last- ed for two hours, .and during the en- tire performance, after each number, the performers were greeted with rounds of applause. Every member of the company is an artist. The or- chestra is fine, and adds greatly to the entertainment. I cheerfully recom- mend the company to the music lov- ing people.”

Our Toronto Letter. Toronto, May 5, Legislative Build-

ings, Press Gallery.—When the word passed around yesterday that Mr. Stratton was in the box at the Gamey investigation, every member in the House pricked up his ears, and in the afternoon there were many vacant seats in the Legislature, while the court room at the City Hall was filled to overflowing.

Last night Liberals breathed more freely than they have done since the 11th of March, the day thatMr.Gamey threw his bomb in the House. They had finally heard both sides and they were satisfied. Mr. Stratton, the ac- cused minister, had maintained a long silence, but when he spoke it was with no uncertain tone. His denial was emphatic and had a good ring about it. His story of the events, which happened on tha days when Mr- Gamey called on him, are quite as circumstantial as Mr. Gamey’s state- ment, and put a vastly different in- terpretation on certain documentary data. When it comes to a question'of veracity, most Liberals have their own idea as to who they can believe.

On one point there is an especially marked difference between the two stories. In the House Air. Gamey said the $3000 was paid to him on the 10th day of September. When he got in the witness box he swore that he thought it was on the 11th, but would not say positively which day it was. Mr. Stratton swears that Air. Gamey was not at his office on either the 10th or the 11th of September. And in this statement he is supported by Mr. Walter J. Boland, a prominent citizen of Toronto, by his secretary. Air. My- ers, and by the messenger In his office, Mr. Costello. Of course Air. Stratton denies point blank that he ever gave Mr. Gamey any money or that there was^any deal of any kind whatever between them.

The cross examination of Mr. Strat- ton, by Air. Blake, will probably live in history. Mr. Blake drew from his resources of sarcasm and bicterness, but, as a witness, Mr. Stratton ap- peared to be quite a match for him. When the news got around town that Air. Stratton was in the box, the court room quickly filled up, a large number of fashionable ladies appearing in the crowd. Mr. Gamey sat at the end of his counsel’s table, and frequently, as Mr. Stratton told his story in a straightforward manner, the Mani- touliner’s face changed color. He affected a sneering smile at times.

The Legislature is having a hard time in attracting attention these days. In the first place, it has been eclipsed by the Gamey investigation, which still drags on, and in the second placé, it requires pretty hot and fresh sensations to focus public attention on things political of any kind when the Alay buds are just beginning to burst. May day is the time for sentimenta- lists and anarchists, but ordinarily is not much of an occasion for politi- cians.

The Legislature in session in Alay, is like a fish out of water. To get to the Parliament Buildings, the mem- bers have to pass great beds of fresh blooming tulips of red and yellow, that from the distance look like big patches of flame. Then there are the sweeps of sloping lawns fresh cropped with newly resurrected mowers, and the odor given out carries many of the legislators away to their own green fields where the grass is put to better uses. Fortunately all members of Par- liainent are provided with railway passes, so that they can take long trips home every Friday for over Sun- day, to see how their own farm yards are getting on. But during five days â week exacting whips demand their presence in the House, and those five days are full of restlessness and lassi- tude.

Last week we had the budget de- bate. The budget speech is one of the great functions of ail British Parlia- ments. It is delivered by the Trea- surer, or Minister of Finance, or Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, as they call him in England, and is a defence or explanation of all expenditures of money the Government has made since the last budget and .is according- ly, practically an exposition of the Government’s whole policy. It hap- pens in the Provincial Government, at the present time, that the Premier is also Provincial Treasurer, so that the budget speech is all the more a notable occurrence. But as luck or natùre would have it, the day of the budget last week was a beautiful spring day. The long tiers of musty upholstered seats in the galleries of the Legislature were practically va- cant, but every hard old wizened bench in the park just outside was filled to overflowing. The Gamey in- vestigation even was not much of an attraction on that day, and the j udges themselves became infected’with the germs of spring fever and adjourned the court an hour earlier than usual.

The budget speed)'itself was full of meat, as are iiil the Premier’s iittor- auees. He explained briefly wliere the three million odd dollars that On- tario spends annually went hast yeai’, and how it was proposed to spen<l a similar amount this year. It was like the annual report of a general man-

ager of a company to the board of directors and shareholders. The speech lasted over two hours, and was taken down verbatim by specially employed stenographers so that it can be print- ed in pamphlet form and distributed. By the way, there is ne Hansard at Toronto, like there is at Ottawa, and the superiority of an AI. P. over an AI.P.P., lies in the fact that every speech an AI.P. makes is reported ver- batim and printed in a big book, while if an M.P.P. wants to have his speech printed, he has to pay the shorthand men himself. Sir Oliver Alowet is responsible for the lack of a Hansard at Toronto, and he is credited with thereby saving the country about as much talk again as now takes plac».
