GLENGfiRRY FARMERS’ mmmi

At a recent meeting of the above Association the following resolution was carried unaimously:

Moved by D. J. McLennan,'of Lan- caster, seconded by W. D. McCriin- mon, of Charlottenburgh,

“That the members of our Associa- tion are in hearty accord with the Pettypiecé bill now before the Legis- lature of Ontario, which has for its object, equalization of taxation.

“Owing to the present assessment laws of the Province, farmers and others are compelled to bear an unjust burden of taxation, .and to this un- fair loading, we propose no longer to tamely submit.

“The property of railway and other public service corporations should, we believe, be taxed in the same propor- tion of value as that of farmers aud other citizens.

“We trust that the representatives, especially of rural constituencies, will be found, when the division bell i lugs, backing this bill with their faces to the tax shifters and their votes for equal justice to railway corporations and farmers alike, and that a copy of this resolution be forward to our representative, W. D. McLeod, M.L.A.

Appeal to September’s

Weather Records.

Toronto, May 18.—During the sitting of the Gamey Bribery Commis- sion Saturday morning the Chancel- lor said that ho and his brother Fal- conijridge had consulted witii one another as to Mr. Ganiey's statement that ho had borrowed 31.200 of the alleged bribery money fron: Mr. Frank Sullivan. Since it did not appear that the money had been returned, and since Mr. Sullivan denied the existence of such a fund, they thought it incumbent on Mr. Gamey to place the money in the hands ol the court.

No reference was made to the matter by counsel on cither side.

Notliiiiff in Bank Kotiks.

Geo. C. Bartlett, teller of the On- tario Bank, who has been in the witness-box on several occasions, was recalled by the prosecution Sat- urday morning to produce the re* suits of the investigations into Ihf bank’s books. He submitted a statement of transaction.^ in sums over 31,000, which was privately examined. Mr. Kitchio' also asked some q,uestions as to who had access to the treasury of the bank. Mr. Bartlett said that the general manager and himself had such access.

The Chancellor then recalled Mr. Gamey as to his memorandum book, which ho had deposited with the court since his previous examination. It showed payments, but not receipts. The receipts were recorded by his bank book. It covered a period from October, 1900, to March l, 1903.

“Then there is nothing to throw light on the enqîiry!" said the Chan- cellor,

“Nothing, except willi regard to the payment of 3900 into the Cros- sin Company’s account,” said Mr. Gamey.

A Will o* the WUp.

Mr. Henry T. Butler, a clerk in the Dominion Permanent Ivoan Com- pany’s oflico, was then called, and Mr. Ritchie askod him if during September last, or at any time there had been any enquiry as to the dis- api>earance of a large package oi money.

The witness • denied knowledge oi any such matter.

“What I am instructed is that while enquiry was being made, Mr. Stratton came in and said he had taken it out and*neglected to put in a voucher. Docs that recall anything to your mind?”

“No!” said Mr. Butler. Mr. V. Atkinson, paying teller for

the Dominion Permanent Loan Com- pany, could throw no light on the story either.

lUr. Wm. Northgravc, a clerk in the office of the Trusts and Guaran- tee Company, the office of which ad- joins the loan company was also in entire ignorance of the matter.

Examined by Mr. Riddell, he said that Mr. Stratton was in the habit of signing l)Iank cheques for use by the U an company in advance, an’d that bcKiausc a clicquc boro date of Sei>t. 11 it would not follow that it was signed that day.

Tha alibi of Sept. 11 was then re- ^■crtcd to once more.

Stratton Went Shopping.

Patrick Mahar, a livery stable keeper of Bloor street, was called. IJe testified that on Sept. 11 last a Victoria was ordered for Mr. Strat- ton for 9.30, and it was returned to the Parliament buildings at 11.30. On the same day a carriag^was also ordered for Mr. Stratton, and it was used from 9.15 to 10.30 a.m.

Weston Green, who was a driver for Mahar in September last, and drove the rig that was out from 4.- 30 to 11.30, was called. Mr. Strat- tor was asked to stand up and Green identified him as a gentleman who had occupied the imek for two hours with two ladies. They visited several places, and he had a faint recollection, though he would not swear to it, that Mr. .Stratton had returned to the Parliament buildings, arriving there about 11.20 a. m.

Memory Vague.

Cross-examined by Mr. Riddell, Green’s memory of the morning proved vague. He remembered that they visited Bennett Wright’s and Robertson’s Saw Works. |He did not recall a visit to McConkey’s, which, is recorded on !Mahar's books.

Mr. Riddell said: “!Mr. Green, let me tell you something. The persons who were driven on that day were three ladies. Do you swear that is not so?” .

“Yes!” Green could not fix the date as

.Sofit. 11. except by what Mahar’s books showed. He thought it was about a week after the Exhibition. Asked who he was driving last night, he said Mr. W. 1). McPherson and i\Ir. .Sam Price, but said that they had not told him 'what to say. ITe had ])e(*n discliarged by Mr. Ma- har for being late, and now drove for G. W. Verretll.

Re-examined by Mr. McPherson, the witness testiliod that he had had no conversation with either him or lUr. Price until called into consulta- tion with Mr. and IMrs. Mahar, to whoso oiUce he had driven the two lawyers. It was Mr. Mahar who first asked him if he had driven Mr. Stratton. Ho then told the story to the lawyers, substantially as he had told it in the witness box to-day.

Struthy anti Stratton.

The witness show’cd himself to I’A'-e mixed up Mr. Stratton — Mr. Sirathy by mentioning thc''^d-

’ e s 71 (iueen's Park. He testiâ^"

that he had been sent to the latter addro.'^s once or t\vic*‘, and had thouglit that it was "Mr. Stratton’s house. He didn’t know Mr. .Strathy to .sec him.

Hugh D. McCulloch, secretary of the Bennett &. Wright Company, testified that last autumn and winter the firm was doing work under contract for Mr. Stratton at Peter- boro’* He didn’t recall whether the latter visited the warcrooins in Sep- tember last.

Mr. Hall, receiving teller of the Ontario Bank, was put in, and gave some technical evidence.

Thomas Hordor, bookkeeper at the Walker House, was called, and produced the entries of Th*. Arthur of Sudbury. The latter swore that he talked to Gamey on two successive days at the Walker House in Janu- ary. The books showed that he had registered an the morning of dan. 13, and that Gamey left on the same evening.

Kcbntt;il Kn<L<l.

This ended the prosecution’s reply, and Mr. Johnston called Charles T'wcedic, a clerk in the Observatory, who produced the records to show ihat it was raining throughout the morning of September 9, when Rob- ert Armstrong, of Gore Bay, swears that he was with Gainey at the Ex- hibition. Armstrong, in his testimony, was not asked as to the weather.

Cross-examined by Mr. McPherson, Tweedio said the charts showed that the heavy rain had been from fi.45 to 8.30, and from 12 to 1. From 8.30 to 12 it had been merely drizzl- ing with the exception of a very brief shower about 10 o’clock.

Mr. Johnston Also announced that he proposed to call some evidence in reply to the hackdriver Green by bringing throe ladies, two of whom were in Peterboro’ and one in Winni- peg. To admit this evidence the court adjourned until Wednesday at 2 p.m., argument to begin at 10 a. m. Thursday.

d'ho .iury retired at 12.30 and at 4.10 o’clock filed into the court- room and answered their names.

Asked for their verdict the fore- man said “guilty.” The young young medical student never stirred, and the hundreds of eyes fastened upon him could not discover a tre- mor of the eyelid or a flush pass over his pale face.

“Gentlemen, do you find the defendant guilty on all the counts of the indictment, or only on one count?” was the next question.

“On one count, tlio third count of the indictment,” replied the fore- man.

Thi.s count charges that Kent ”assisted Ethel Blanche Dingle to commit suicide, and that for the pur- poses of carrying out her suicidal jnirôses, he. the defendant, inflict- ed the mortal wound, she consenting thereto.”

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Gamey, says the Hamilton Times,

did not expect to have to go into the

witness box and tell his story. The

plan of Gamey and the Tory leaders

was to make the charges as broadly

and as publicly as possible, for pur-

poses of scandal, expecting that they

would furnish a summer’s talk for the

Legislature. It was not the Tory

plan to have a respectable court pro-

cess of inquiry.

Judgment was given at Osgoode

Hall, Toronto, on Monday in the Soo

Ste. Marie election appeal, the judges up-holding the decision of the trial

judges unseating Andrew Miscamp-

bell, the Conservative sitting member

in the Provincial House. The Court

of AppeaiJudges found that the evi-

dence favored conclusively rilegal acts

on the part of Mr.Miscampbell’s agents

Mr. W. J. McCart, M.L.A. for Corn-

wall and Stormont, on Thursday of

last week, in the Toronto Legislature,

moved the second reading of his bill

to amend the municipal drainage act.

The bill proposes that each municipa-

lity should appoint two drain viewers,

who would accompany the engineer

when he fixed the assessment, believ-

ing by this that a fairer rate will be

fixed for all concerned. Mr. McCart’s suggestion met with

ready favor and the bill will be taken

up in committee.

That the search for the $3,000 which

Mr. Gamey is alleged to have received

is keen and exhaustive, is shown by

the experience of a well-known flour

and feed merchant in the west end,

who drew $500 from the Ontario Bank

on the date named by Gamey as that

on which he received the money.

This gentleman was asked if he could

say what he did with the $500. At

first he was naturally much annoyed

over the matter, but he showed that

he sent it, the very day it was drawn,

by the Express Company, to his bro-

ther, who was buying for him in the

east.—Toronto Globe.

Under the caption, “A Strong Can-

ada Needed," the Week’s Survey, of

London, says “Not only is emigra-

tion to Canada good for the emigrants

it is also good for Canada. Nature has done her best for Canada. It is a

glorious country which only wants

mankind’s hand to make it one of the great nations of earth. Hitherto Can- ada has lacked men—Englishmen, cer-

tainly—but now they are going out in thousands. They will develop a coun-

try as rich in natural wealth as the United States. They will build up

the strength and the power of Cana-

da. Some day America will extend

its Monroe doctrine to Canada. It

will oe an indefensible act. but one

that is even now openly hinted at in some American papers. If any mis-

fortune came upon us, the strength of Canada might be the only protection

against America in a ‘yellow’ mood.”

given to a representative of a leading newspaper Mr. Kennedy has this to

Siiy of our western heritage :— “Your Northwest is a most wonder-

ful country. We have nothing like it

in the United States. . We think

twenty-five bushels to the acre a big*

yield in the Dakotas and Minnesota,

but in the wheat belt of Saskatchewan .and Assiniboia they don’t think they

have any returns for tlieir money if

the yield is under forty bushels to the

acre.” Asked if he had stopped to look at the incoming settlers, Mr.

Kennedy replied :—“Why, I couldn’t

help seeing them. In one district

23,000 came in during April alone. They filled every station along the

line. There was not room for all on

the platforms, and they hung like

bees on the steps. Probably 25 per

cent of these were American farmers, men in the ripe experience, and many

of those you can depend on,” said the

general manager, with emphasis. All

this vast country will he supplied with

agricultural implements from the Can- adian branch. The Hamilton works

will be turning out 300,000 machines a

year by another twenty-four months.

To meet the tremendous demands of

the Northwest, a Deering factory will

likely soon be started in the North-

west. This had been one of the ob- jects of his present trip, but he wasn’t

yet able to announce whether Winni-

peg or the still further West would

get it.’-’

HOT STUPE

Down by the sounding sea, in the Mar- itime Provinces, the Gamey-Stratton investigation has been closely watched by the press. The Halifax Chronicle quotes the following from a provincial Tory organ, as an illustration of the “low singing” which the “Opposition” is at present indulging in over Gamey, the beautiful, the heroic, the patriotic

“The Gamey investigation is drawing on its weary length, and to the unbiased and fair-minded, the resnlt must testify to the rottenness of polities in Ontario. That there is crookedness on both sides is too apparent. If the commission before whom the investigation is being haüi?^«dd’lK>ld all concerned, in alleged bribery up to censure, they would be doing their duty. It seems too bad that Canada should be the theatre of such palpable chicanery and corrnption.”

To this the Chronicle replies in the fob lowing trenchant manner :— .

“It has been a very weary ‘Gamey investigation,’ indeed—for the ‘Opposition and, even to the far from unbiased or fair-minded, testifies to the ‘rottenness’ of Gamey and the more than willingness of the‘Oppo- sition’ to profit thereby.

“But what, may we ask, has made it apparent that there is ‘crookedness on both sides ?’ No evidence pointing to any snch conclusion has been adduced before the commission. Gamey, of course, has sworn^ but Gamey has been flatly contradicted by bis own witnesses ; Gamey has altered and ‘lost’ bank documents which exposed the falsity of bis evidence ; and Gamey has torn leaves out of account books containing entries referring to his evidence ; and Gamey ‘skipped out’ over the border ; and Mr. Stratton has sworn that Gamey’s charges and testimony are tissues of falsehood.

“Everybody not in ‘opposition’ in Canada is 'concerned in alleged bribery’ and all other conceivable villainy. Would our esteemed and virtuous ‘opposition’ contemporary, have ns all ‘held up’ at once‘to censure’ by, the oommisèioners ? Does it really think it would or could do us any good to be so ‘held up ?’ Are we not beyond reform ?

“It does seem too bad that Canada should be the theatre of such palpable chicanery and corruption as Gamey’s ; but what can be done about it while we have an occasional Gamey in the Dominion and an ‘opposition’ ever ready to encourage and try to take advantage of his peculiar tal- ents ?

General Manager Kennedy of the

Deering Division of the International Harvester Company, has but recently

returned from a trip through the Can-

adian Northwest. In an interview

Our Toronto Letter. Tne Gamoy investigation is at last

drawing to a close,—is indeed so near ly finished that if all goes well bet ween now and Saturday night, there will then be an end to it. Up to last Saturday it had lasted twenty-three days, and four more this week will make twenty- seven days. These have been days of actual sittings, extended over a period of between seven and eight weeks.

The expense of the investigation will amount to about $30,000, a Conservative estimate. A large percentage of the cost as usual will be eaten up iu lawyers’ fees the pace being set by Mr S H Blake, who, it is said, will send in a bill at the rate of $150 a day. Mr. Johnson, the leading counsel on the other side, will no doubt feel himself justified in asking an equal fee, while the associate counsel, Mr. C II Ritchie with Mr. Blake, and Mr. W R Riddel with Mr. Johnson, could scarcely value their services at a much lower figure and expect to maintain their self respect. As to the other four counsels on the casfe,' three on one side and one on the other, they will doubtless make their bills as high as they dare. Besides the lawyers, there

are the Judges, whose time is worth a good penny, and the 120 witnesses or so, some of whom have been brought from the States, from Winnipeg, a great number from Manitoulin and others from other outlying points. Their railway fares are of course iu all instances paid as part of the Commission’s expense, while they each received $1 a day from the time the sub- poena was served until he was called to the box. These are the main items of expen- diture, but of course there are various incidentals such as the payment of the official stenographer who has teen taking about 33,000 words of evidence a day in shorthand, and making IG typewritten copies of it at night. Some printer will get in a fine graft on the publication of the report, which will be a volume of 2000 or so pages, and will contain about 1,000, 000 words. As there will no doubt be a great demand for the work in this part of the public,, a large number of copies will have to be printed.

So that if Mr. Gamey has succeeded in doing nothing else, he has succeeded in put ting the Province to a pretty little bit of expense.

Mr Gamey makes it a point to spend a portion of each day in the House when it is in session. He doesn’t pretend to take much stock in the humdrum proceedings before the House, for of course his plans have to do with the breaking and making of Governments—far beyond all questions of minor legislation in point of importance. He scarcely ever listens to a speaker for even a moment and of course such a thing as bis taking part in a debate himself is undreamed of. ' Ode can understand how unutterably monotonous discussions in the Municipal Drainage Act and such like must appear to the mind of a man, filled with sensational epoch making thoughts.

The other day Mr Gamey leR his soa.t •away in the obscure rear and came forward to sit beside Mr Whitney. The two con- versed together for three or four minutes. Almost every eye in the House was turned on them and they looked as though they were quite conscious of that fact. As they whispered they smiled and nodded and looked pleased at this, and puzzled at that in a most ostentatious manner, like people talking on the stage.

The wonder of the hour in the press gallery itself is the way the Opposition is lotting overythiog slip through without a word of objection on anything. The oldest habitue of the gallery does not remember a year when so much work was finished up in such a short time. If there were no parties in the House at all, no Opposition, the whole House one great good natured Government party it would be impossible to transact the business that has been transacted with much greater facility than has been apparent. The estimates are nearly all through. All the contentious bills are getting pretty well advanced, in fact that stage of the session has been reached when at any time the Government by patting on the screws and making the House sit up late at nights could rush the remainder of the business through in a few days any time. One thing would militate against this happening for a week or two yet and that is that the committees have still a considerable amount of work to do yet and they cannot be rushed the way that debates in the* House can.

But what has come over the Opposition that it seems so nerveless and apathetic no one can imagine. Here it is with numbers within four of being as large as the Government but it seems unable to hold its own in any debate for ^more than about half an hour. There was a debate the other day on the County Schools Act that did last about an hour or perhaps a little more. Last year the same debate would hê lasted three days in all proba- bility. ^That discussions there have been, have taken a desultory turn. There has been an absolute lack of system on the^ part of the Opposition throughout. The members seem to be without leadership. There has not been a division since the re-assembling of the legislature on April 21. When the budget debate was up, Mr Whitney said that discussion would be reserved until there were motions for the House to go into Committee on Supply, that is to consider the estimates. So far thesè discussions have not amounted to a hill of beans.

The whole of last week was taken up with brief debates, all, or almost all of an entirely non partisan nature. Naturally most of the talking was done by the older heads but occaaionally a new member butted in. A distinctly favorable impression was made in the House by Mr W. J. McCart, the new member who represecta Stormont. He explained to the House in one afternoon two bills which he had introduced and when he had concluded his not too long but perfectly effective speech, he was greeted with hearty applause. It« was clear that the admiration of the House was being extended not so much to the bill as the man who had spoken and that Mr McCart had succeeded in making a good impression.

One of his bills proposed important amendments to the Municipal Drainage Act. His claim was that under the present law, the engineer has too large powers, and his clause provides for the appointment by each municipality, of two resident “viewers” who shall act with the engineer. Mr. Mc- Cart told of one instance in his own riding where the engineer made an estimate on a drainage system of $G9.000. The people were not satisfied and they sent for the Provincial engineer’ who estimated that the work would cost $12,000. There was surely something wrong when sn^ discre- pancies as this were possible, he argued. His bill also proposes that engineers be asked to give a statement of their account under oath, not that he accused them of being dishonest, but their bills were awful ly high. The bill was extremely favorably commented upon by Attorney General Gib son, and was approved by Mr. Whitney. It is now before the Legal Committee and will probably become law.

His other piece of legislation was intend let the street railway Co. of Cornwall

n their cars with but one man to the car. e said the company affirmed they would

have to quit operating unless they got this concession. It looks as though Cornwall will soon be without street cars, for the bill was not favorably received.

To Be Appointed to Investigate

Public Trading.

THB LEGISLATURE TUESDAY.

Col. Gibson, in a Speech of an llour anc

a Half, Summed Up the Case, in a

Splendid Review of the Situation-

Information Needed to Rnable

Legislators to Perform Tidieir

Whole Duty.

Toi'onto, May 13.—Aa exten.sivo inquiry into the growth and .success or failure of municipal trading will bo undertaken by a select committee tho adoption yesterday of a resolution by Attorney-General Gn>son. The motion calls for an exhaustive examination of reports and publica- tions from various countries upon this subject,. particularly based upon th<! experience of Great Britain, the result to bo i)ublishcd in a Par- liamentary paper. Col. Gibson, in a speech of an hour and a half, exhibited a splendid grasp of the question, and presented much information and argument favoring Ijoth sides. Mr. 'Whitney professed to bo in tho dark, b'ut offered no objection, and tho resolution passed unani- mously. On the motion to go into supply in the evening Dr. Beattie Nesbitt introduced a discussion on Niagara power.

Public Tradin];.

Attonicy*<3oneral Gibson in intro- ducing- the following resolution, said that tho result of his in\"cstigations into municipal ownership and public trading went to show that there is much to be said or. both sides, but that the preponder- ance of evidence w*as against municipal ownership. IIo then moved,, the following resolution:

Resolution Introduced.

*^That a select committee of Tivc members of tho House be appointed for the purpose of selecting reports of committees on commissions or other authorities on the subject oi municipal trading or municipal ownership, or operation of public utili- ties as well as other useful deliver- ances of authoritative weight on these subjects, both favoring and opposing any of these systems .and generally such material as the committee may select, and that the .selec- tions made by the committee b€ printed and distributed to the members of tho House in pamphlet form, and that tho committee, if necessary, have power to sit and act after the close of tho present session, and that publication of tho material selected be carried out without ne- cessity of previous report to this House.”

Mr. Whitney .said he was not quite clear an to what tho Attorn^'^-Gcri— oral intended to convey by his speech. fVhile expressing no disap- proval of the motion, he (Whitney) thought the members of the committee w’ould be compelled to neglect other duties if it wâs intended that they should sit during the present session. He said that every time the Attorney-General quoteil anj'thing in support of the principle, he at once proceeded to quote the antidote to show that the principle was wrong.

Mr. Crawford wondered if the appointment of tho commission was intended to forestall any further move in the direction of tho extension of ])ublic ownership, and the I’remier said: "Certainly not.” Mr. Crawford })clieved that tho reasons given by the Attorney-General would convince tho people that municipal ownership was tho proper thing.

The ,jPremier re-affirmed that the Government had not tho slightest intention of side-tracking any of the bil's Ix'fore the House. There wms an agitation, he said, for an extensive •systc'm of municipal ownership, and ho w’as not opposing it, l)ut before going any further the people should have tho benefit of the experience of other countries.

The motion passed, and the Prem- ier announced that the committee w'ould be named to-daJ^•

A number of bills w^cro introduced and road a first time.

Third readings wore given to' the following bills: Ilespecting the Tluntsvillo and Lake of Bays Rail- way (Tudhope); to amend the act incorporating the North Lanark Hailway Company (Caldwell); to leg- alize and confirm Bylaw (579 of the 1'own of P.etrolea (Hanna); to confirm Bylaw 575 of the Town of Sar- nia (Hanna); to confirm Bylaw 31 of the Town of Goderich (Cameron); respecting tho Ross Memorial Hospital (Fox); respecting tho Town of Bracebridge (Tudhope).

The House adopted a motion of Hon. Richard Harcourt, to ratify the following Order-in-Coimc’l: Upon the I'ccoinmcndation of the Minister of Education, the Committee of ('ouncil advise that a bylaw of the trustees of tho University of Toron- to be approved by Your Honor, viz.. Bylaw No. 16, respecting a loan of Ç50,000'to the I'aculty of Medicine.

Tho House went into committee on Mr. Ross’ bill, resi>octing the taxation of lands in New Ontario.

Mr. Davis’ bill, respecting land grants to veterans, was read a second lime.

Mr. Ilarcourt's bill, respecting Boards of Education in certain cities, and Mr, Gibson’s bill respecting local works and improvements, Were read a second time.

On tho motion to go into supply, Dr. Nesbitt continued his criticism of tha Government which he said had-given away the most valuable asset in Ontario, the power concessions at Niagara Falls, and if it had appointed a Commission some years ago tho province would have been placed in possession of informâti<ui as to the value of the concession.s which have been given away. If tho Government could not do anything else it had better buy out the rights of tlic existing companies and gener-

ate the power for the benefit of the people.

Mr. Gross said ho believed that U rtK) conce.ssion.s had been granted no municipality or union of municipali- ties would care to generate electricity, nor would it be in the interest of tho people for the I’rovince tt> generate electricity at the Falls. 'Phe only power at Niagara Falls that had been given away was on the American side.

In reply to Mr. Kribs the Premier said that the Government is prcv<mt- cd by the agreement.s with the company from dev( IvYping tho remaining power within the Imimdaries of the park. But there are three other sites outside the park, which the Coêrnmcnt is not prevented from utilizing.

In Committee on Supply the items for colonization and immigration, totalling ?!14.325, wore then passed.

On reaching tlie estimates of the De[>artment' of Agidculture the item of J?16'6,9r)0 for grants to agricultural societies provo’ od some opposition, and the I’remicr agreed to al- low the item to .stand over for ful- ler discussion, and the House adjourned at 11 o’clock.

The mango is a highly contagious parasitic disease of the skin that af- fects all classes of lower animals. It is most important that it should be properly quarantined. While common, it is said by vctorinai'y authorities to be prevalent in no portion of Canada.

Romaine plead- ed not guilty, and the trial went on. Var ioms witnesses testified to the sliootjng, and Romaine himself took tho stand and claimed great I»ro ocation and fear of his life.

Blairmore, N.W.T., May 13.—Pre- mier Haultain has re-opened Frank. IMorchants and other residents at once re-occupied the place. The conclusion reached by experts was that slides will continue for some time, but to what extent is a matter of judgment. They might come down frequently or there might be a big slide that would wipe out a part of tho town, but it was uncertain. R. McConnell and R. W. Brock of tho geological survey, are here for the Dominion Government to establish the cause of the slide.

Death of Rev. 3Iun&;o Fraser.

Canadian Views of Mr. Cham- beriain’s Latest Speech.

THE GOVERNMENT’S POSITION

I’l IiH'iple of Its Policy as Shown In Can-

juia’rt AUHudo at the Colonial Con-

feronco and in the Budget—In the

Light of These Mr. Chamber-

lain’s Speech Is of the Ut-

most Importance.

Ottawa, May 18.—Mr. Chamber- lain’s latest declarations on the sub-

oi preferential trade have naturally oxcited'keen interest in political cin les here, and the speech is re- g’arded as an epoch-making one. The members _o£ the Ministry will not discuss the Colonial Secretary’s statement for publication, but there is .some reason to believe that they are not altogether surprised at the turn which events have taken. Canada’s attitude in regard to preferential trade was clearly and explicitly stated, both at the Colon- ial Conference in simndon last summer and on the occasion of Mr. Fielding’s budget speech on April 16th. At the former gathering Can- ada secured the adoption of a resolution urging on tho Imperial Gov- ernment the expediency of granting in tho United Kingdom preferential treatment to tho products and manufactures of tho colonies, either by e.vomption from or reduction of duties now or hereafter imposed. Can- ada’s representatives expressed themselves willing to recommend in return for ijrefcrential treatment in the United Kingdom an additional preteronce to British manufactures on a list of selected articles in either of the following ways;—

(] ) By further reducing the duties in favor of the United Kingdom.

(2) By raising tho duties against foreign imports.

(S) By imposing duties on certain foreign imports now on the tree list.

Mr. Chamberlain’s Answer.

kfr. Chamberlain, on behalf of the Imperial Government, was unable to agree to the proposal of tho Canad- ian Ministers. He represented that the Imperial Government, while highly appreciating the good feeling man- ife.sted by Canada in tho granting of preferential treatment, did not think the material results to the trade of tho United Kingdom were as great as tho Canadian Ministers claimed. He further said that the change desired by Canada would bo an important departure from the established fiscal policy of tho kingdom, and that if the proposals could bo entertained •at all, as to which he was not prepared to commit himself, it would be necessary for Canada to offer some material tariff concessions beyond those which she liad already voluntarily given.

In tho light of Canada’s action at tho Colonial Conference, and Mr. Fielding’s budget statement, the Col- onial Secretary’s latest speech is of the utmost importance. Mr. Cham- beriain ba.s at various times announced himself to bo in favor of free trade within the Empire, which, however, under conditions as they .arc at present, is regarded as im- pi-acticablo. Now he seems, after a careful review of the situation and apparontl.v influenced by Mr. Field- ing's outspoken statement, to have become a convert to the policy of preferential trade. A distinguished authority was last night asked what would be tho immediate outcome of Mr. Chamberlain’s declaration. ■'There will probably bo no immediate result," was the reply. "The fc d has" found lodgment and must now be left to germinate. I should judge that tho idea animating. Mr. Chamberlain is to become the origi- nator of a now colonial policy.”

The Conservative Leader.

Mr. B. L. Borden, the Conserva- tive leaden* said yesterday;

"Mr. Chamberlain’s utterance, although important and significant, is not une.xpected. Wo have long he-' lieved that there is in Great Britain a strong force of public opinion favoring preferential trade within the Empire, and the modification to that extent of the fiscal policy of the Mo- ther Countiy. We- have believed, whether rightly or wrongly, that the force of public- opinion needed only to bring it into actiidty the sanction of a strong leader in the political world. At this distance, it is diffi- cult to thoroughly appreciate the currents of public opinion in Great Britain, but it seems to us that the hour has come, and, with it, the man.

"For ten years the Conservative jiarty in this country has lieon fight- ing the battle of preferential trade within the Empire. Going out of power in 1806, ■ we, nevertheless, continued %o advocate that policy as one calculated, not only to develop commerce within tho Empire, hut to bind more closely together by tho firm ties of closer commercial inter- course, all parts of His Majesty’s dominions.

"This policy has since been affirmed by resolùtiôns which wo have sub- sequenUy proposed in the House of Couimons on several occasions.

"All such resolutions met defeat at. the hands of tho Liberal party, be- cau.se the loaders of that party in Canada, up to a year ago, could never I)e persuaded that the realiza- tion of such policy was more than a dream. Happily, they are now en- abled to see more clearly, so that all parties in Canada at tho present time .seem united, not only in affirm- ing tho wisdom, but tho practicabil- ity of the great policy of inter-Im- l-erial tfade. Those who set their faces against Imperial preferential trade, and who also believe that Canada should ba.se her fiscal ])olicy upon free trade ideals, little realize that the adoptipn of such views by tWs country would undoubtedly result in its^ômmerclal and political absorpt^ by the groat neighboring Ileiiublic^’'

IMayor Wnn î-raise ! i>n Head.

Bridgeport, Conn., May IS.—The attempt made by the officials of tho Connecticut Railway and Righting Company to run their cars with non- union men yesterday resulted in a riot, in which at least 15 men were injured. Tho Sheriff hopes that it will not be necessary to call out Ih^ State troops, but say.s that another such outbreak will make tl'.at step- inevitable. At the present time it is possible that the County Sherill will supercede the police in the control of tho city.

Shortly before noon six trolley cars were started, '’^'licrc were large crowds in the vidnity of the car sheds when opeiations W(-ro com- menced, but no violence wa.s offered at this time. Tl.e cars were manned by twelve of tlie lîÔ strike-breakers brought hero Salurday by tlie Trol- ley Company. Tliere was no disturb- ance of any kind until two hours later.

Tho first, car liad completed its third round trip, and was dir<>ctly in front of the AVht'cli'r & Wilson factory, where a crowd of at least 1 000 persons had gathered. The car was running slowly owing to the crowd, when stones began to fly. Beputy-vSherifTs Ilindriie and Plumz, who were on the car, saw a man in the crowd hurl a stone. They had the car stopped, and plunged into the crowd to get the offender. The stone thrower was a largo man, and struggled so fiercely that a policeman wont to the assistance of the Sheriffs.

Immediately Mayor Muivihill w'ont to the policeman and ordered him to keep his hands off tho prisoner. He then went to the Deputj^-Shcriffs, and told them that they had better let the man go. During the argument., tho stone thrower wrenched himself free, and was soon lost in the crowd.

In tho meantime tho stones were flying in a shower, and one of them struck the Mayor on the head, causing a large ])ruise.

The tv.'o Sheriffs then jumped on tho car, and ordered the inotorman to proceed to tho car sheds, a quarter of a mile distant. Tho bombard- ment did not abate. The stone- throwing soon became so furious that the Slieriffs drew their revol- vers, and fired five shots in the air, and toward the ground. Five other cars received tlie same treatment before reaching the barns.

When the last car had passed within the doors, there was a crowd of 4,000 people gathered in a vacant lot opposite, and violence once more broke loose. Brickbats, stones and everything that could bo throwm were hurled at the barns and anything that belonged to the company, in the \icinity-

The Fire Department was called out, and several streams scattered the mob. Not one of the twelve men operating the cars, e.scapcd injury. Another attempt will bo made to run- Cars to-day.

We have them m packages and in bulk to sell by ounce or pound—the cheapest way to buy seeds.

We have also a quantity f.f onion sets, better known as Dutch sets. These are grown from the black seed, in the fall pulled up and put away to bo transplanted in tho spring the same as toppies.

Brigade. Our fire laddies are deserv- ing of the hearty support of every in- dividual ratepayer, and consequently we predict a top heavy house will greet the comedians on the occasion above mentioned as a testimony of the high appeciation entertained for the members of the brigade by citizens generally.

The following few words of advice and suggestion are very timely, and might be acted on with profit by many, even in Alexandria : If your fence is old and broken in places, either remove it or erect a new one. A nice lawn will add to the value of your property. If your house looks discolored and dull, use paint. Make the colers bright and cheerful. Take kindly to the flower bed. Cultivate vine-growing so that the back yard may be improved in appearance. Make an effort to interest your neighbor in the work of civic improvement. Do your share and set a good example.

The bachelor is is a coward and a failure. He shaves and primps, but is too cowardly to put his arm around success and press it to his bosom. He resolves to marry, every day for 40 years, but when the hour for the duel arrives, when in the presence of trembling rosy cheeks, when beauty shakes her curls, his courage oozes, and he flees the field without even learning of ths cow path that leads to matrimony. We have .such cowards right here in Glengarry ; and in spite of all we can do and all the good advice wo can give them, they join the wrong kind of idols, and worship at their shrines. ‘

There is every reason why the merchants of Alexandria should co-operate with the Turf Club in making the Vic- toria Day celebration an unqualified success financially and otherwise. All will admit that there is not the slightest question of doubt but that it is better to have some doings at home to entertain our citizens, besides swelling our population for that day by a couple of thousand, than to let the day pass off quietly and our people to go away from home to spend the day and their money elsewhere. Such celebrations are a good thing for the town, therefore, one and all should encourage the committee as much as possible. Talk up the coming event as much as possible for this particular line, there is Jets of work«/to be done and a short time in which to do it.

Alexandria’s Greatest Store.

B I I Glothing at Wholesale Prices.

We have secured the agency in Alexandria for the most up-to-date clothing made in Canada. Every suit is as carefully cut and made up as it can possibly be by experienced tailors and is entirely different from ordinary ready-made clothing. It is a little higher in price, still very much cheap- er than you could have it made by a local tailor. Every person who has seen the few lines we have already got in, has the same to say of them. They are the best lines of ready-made clothing ever shown. To introduce the clothing we have concluded to sell

FIFTY SUITS

AT COST PRICE. Remember every one of these suits are made

of the very newest materials in the latest styles and cannot be told from made to order work. If you want a nobby suit and want it for at least five dollars less than you have ever had a chance to buy it at, come in and secure one of fbis lot of fifty. If every suit is not as represented we will cheerfully give you your money back.

We have also a large stock of regular ready- made clothing at %'ery low prices. In children’s suits we think we can offer you the best value in town.

BRING US YOUR EGGS.
