Successful Gathering Turf Club Holds Successful Gathering-

Alexandra Lacrossists Lose Two Games-Notes.

Kings weather was in order on Monday, and, as a result, the Alex- andria celebration was one of the most successful ever held in Glen- garry, both in point of attendance and quality of entertainment.

The grounds presented a neat ap- pearance, the newly constructed grand stand being a prominent and well patronized feature.

From many places of business, and private residences, flags and bunting floated, extending to the hundreds of visitors a silent, but none the less, cordial welcome.

The morning trains brought many from the east and from the west, the towns along the Canad.a Atlantic being particularly well represented, while early in the afternoon those resident in the vicinity of Alexandria drove into town, and heartily joined in the days celebration.

To the committee, much credit is due for their promptness in present- ing the several events on the program- me, and also for the precautions taken by them to prevent accidents, a pleas- ing feature of the days proceedings being an almost utter absence of drunkenness.

Promptly at 12.J0, the lacrosse game between the Lancaster Juniors and Mintos of Alexandria, was called, and at times proved most exciting. The youngstei-s put up good, clean lacrosse and both teams give promise of be- cming expert stick handlers in the very near future. The visitors were a gentlemanly lot of young fellows, and as the home team displayed the same spirit, Referee Kemp had an easy task.

The teams lined up as follows : Lancaster. Alexandria. A. McDonald goal Rod. McRae D. McLean point VVm. Keiui> O. McNaughton c. pt. V. Campeau P. McLeod defence field D. Rowe Joe. Carr Rod. McMillan iC. MePhee Jno. McMillan J. Brown centre Geo.McDonald W. Houston home field N. Brayinan Jas. McDonell V. MoPhee Geo. Munro A. McMillan A. McDonald out. home J. McMillan C.

The visitors were heartily cheered on their victory.

During the afternoon, Tom Tatlock, German song and dance artist, and Bedard, Barre and Bedard, in acroba- tic and heavy weight feats, contri- buted several numbers to the pro- gramme, the newly constructed stage in front of the grandstand being uti- lized for the purpose. The special- ties presented by them were novelties, never before attempted in Glengarry. The audience showed their vpprecia- tion quite heartily.

THE RACES. Three horses faced the starter in the

green race. They were, Dr. K. Mc- Lennans Glengarry Boy, B. Legaults Grey Bird, and A. McMillans Alex- andria Boy. The several heats, which were closely contested, resulted as fol- lows : Glengarry Boy 1 1 1 Alexandria Boy 3 2 2 Grey Bird 2 3 3

That the spectators were possessed of the racing spirit, was evidenced by the keen interest displayed by them in the several heats.

LACROSSE. Possibly the event which attracted

the most interest during the after- noon, was the lacrosse game between Maxville and Alexandria.

Individually speaking, both teams were composed of good players, but the home team lacked the combina- tion, which was a prominent feature of the visitors game. Maxville has, an A 1 team, from goal-keeper to in- side home, and they won their victory by scientific play. The best team won.

The line up was as follows : Maxville. Alexandria.

HORSE SHOW. Although the number of entries in

the two classes under this heading was not large, some fine specimens of horseflesh were exhibited.

The prizes were won as follows : Doubles1st, K. A. McLeod; 2nd,

D. McMaster ; 3rd, A. McMillan. .Singles2st, Jas. Stewart ; 2nd,

2nd, O. Emond. Sabourins speed and staying power

surprised all, and was one of the fast- est half mile runs ever made on the track. With proper training, he should give an excellent account of himself.

The only item on the programme that was not carried out was the scrub race. This was not through negligence on the part of the com- mittee. but on account of want of en- tries.

Taken all in all, the day was most successful, and the Turf Club richly deserved the success they won.

NOTES. The number in attendance was be-

tween fifteen hundred and two thous- and.

Reeve A. A. McKinnon, of Lochiel, had the honor of purchasing the first ticket sold for the grandstand.

The Citizens Band, under Prof. Hyde, contributed the musical part of the programme in capital style.

Now is the time for our lacrosse boys to get down to practice. Defeat only encourages true sports to greater effort.

Jack Irvine manipulated the tickets in the grandstand box office with the dexterity of an old-timer.

Both Maxville and Lancaster lacrosse teams were accompanied by a goodly number ef enthusiastic supporter*.

Haydens refreshment booth was patronized, as the day was a great thirst breeder.

About the only regrettable feature of the day was the action of three or four things ia the shape and about the size of young men who, during the senior lacrosse game, encouraged (?) the players with such sportsmanlike (?) cries as slug him, smash him, strike him again and kill him. While they may not be responsible for the depositing of extract of ignor- ance, in the cavity in their craniuras intended for the reception of gray matter, some steps should be taken to place them under restraint, so that they will not be a disgrace to their friends and an insult to the pviblic. In the heat of a lacrosse game, the piayei-s are excited enough without such encouragement (?).

FIREMENS CONCERT.

Liirge Audience Attends Presentation of Programme.

On Monday evening, there was a large audience at the Fire Brigade concert in Alexander Hall.

The duties of chairman were dis- charged by Mr. J. A. C. Huot, while several piano and clarionet duets were splendidly rendered by Miss M. B. Mc- Donald and Prof. Hyde.

Besides the several numbers contri buted by Bedard, Barre and Bedard, and Tom Tatlock, the comedian, selec- tions by local talent figured promi- nently on the programme.

Mr. E. H. Tiffany and Miss M. J. Dupuis were accompanists.

The number of steam railways in Canada iu actual operation last year, including the two Government roads, was 165. The num ber of controlling companies was 79.

On June 30, 1902, there was a completed railway mileage of 18,868 (an increase of 574 miles for the year), besides 2,829 miles of sidings ; of this 617 miles was double track.

The capital invested in these railways is placed at 81,098,852,206.81. Of this the erdinary share capital is 8358,135,965 ; preference stoek, 8132,206,736.60 ; bonded debt, 8403,806,846.54 ; capital from other sources, 811,082,307.97 ; aid from Govern- ments and municipalities, 8233,239,870.22, These figures do not include land grants, concessions of right of way, etc. givemby Governments and municipalities.

The working expenses of the railways were 857,343,592 ; the gross earnings, 883,- 606,502, leaving net earnings, 826,323,911.

The number of passengers carried was 20,679,974 ; freight 42,370,527 tons ; miles run by trains, 55,729,856.

There was 2,444 locomotives, 2,020 passenger oars, 75,240 freight cars and 1,031 construction oars. Of the care 55,- 111 are equipped with air brakes and 66,882 with automatic couplers.

Canada had on the same date 558 miles of electric railway in operation, 169 miles being double track. The paid up capital was 841,593,063, of which 8173,000 was municipal aid.

The gross earnings were 86,485,438 working expenses, 83,802,855 ; net earnings, 82,083,583.

The number of passengers carried was 137,081,402 ; freight, 200,182 tons ; oar mileage run, 35,833,831.

Of the electric roads Ontario has 343 miles ; Quebec, 140 ; New Brunswick, 12 Nova Scotia, 12 ; Manitoba, 13 ; British Columbia, 45.

The passengers carried by the city rail- ways are thus given : Montreal, 48,858,373 ! Toronto, 41,689,'258 ; Ottawa, 6,988,370 ; Quebec, 4,192,799 ; Hamilton, 3,845,789 Winnipeg, 3,845,608 ; London, 3,744,469 . Halifax, 2,540,000 ; St John, 1,771,522 Vancouver, Victoria, and New Westminis- ter, 7,670,468.

The number of homestead entries in the west for the first four months of

1903 has been over 10,000. Compara-

February 928 March 1,207 April 2,078

Total: 5,022 10,274

During the whole of 1901 there were

about 9,000 entries. The largest num-

ber of entries are at Regina, Edmon- ton, Calgary, Prince Albert, Yorkton

and Bed Deer.

Under the caption Business, the

Rochester, N. Y., Post-Express, has

this to say of matters in that part of

the country :The only drawback

in the business situation is the large

number of idle men, strikes having

occurred during the last ten days in

all sections of the country. The effect

is well-nigh disastrous, for not only do

the men lose the wages which thsy

might be earning, but capital is deter-

red from embarking upon new enter-

prises. In the building trade the con-

ditions are almost hopeless, and in the

aggregate plans which involved the expenditure of millions of dollars have

abandoned. It is so here inRochester,

where contract after contract has been

thrown up. Uncertainty regarding the future is having a very bad effect

Whom Were Men, Who Were Capsized

From a Mackinaw.Heroic Attempts at Kcsctic.

Toronto, May 23.Two women (irowned, llic body ol one still miss- ing, is the latest tragedy ouaeted on the Bay. Eightecn-year-olil Libby McKenzie of 39 Wood street, and Mrs. Mary A. Beckett of 14J Scat- on street, were, with four others, thrown into the Bay by the capsiz- ing of a mackinaw and drowned. 'J'he body of Miss McKenzie has not yot been recovered. Cries for lieli) at- tracted another sailing party to the scene of the distre.ssed, and a strug- gle to rescue eoo women from a wat- ery grave ensued.

In the capsized boat were Ed. Ap- ted, a printer on Yonge street: '1. llicliards, William Shantz, Libbiu McKenzie, Jean McKenzie and Mrs. Beckett.

At 9.45 last night, L. E. Marsh, sailing the mackinaw "Toinui, ac- companied by Charles Miller and H. M. Lament, heard screams for hel;>. Ilighting about iu the direction of the cries for assistance, they bore down on the spot, but it went past the mark.

Charles Miller jumped into the passing mackinaws dingliy and re- turned. The three men were still afloat, two holding a woman each, but the third woman had gone down. In the inky darkness a struggle for life went on for a quarter of an hour. Then the boat manned L. Marsh returned jiicking up three men and one womin who were .still afloat.

The cause of the sad accident was the neglect of the two men, who had hold of the jib and fore sail, not let- ting them go when the boat wa,s be- ing turned to the wind.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

Some days ago, we received a letter from a prominent legal gentleman in this county, in which he laid great emphasis on the necessity there was for the formation of a Historical So- ciety in Glengarry, for, as he said, If such a society is at all desirable, it should be organized at once, for every year sees old landmarks obliterated and sources of information cut off.

The organization of such a society would he a most timely move, as there is much truth in what our correspon dent says, and we unhesitatingly lend our support to such, and would be pleased at all times to receive sugges-*] tions or data regarding tlie organiza- tionor modus operand! of county so- cieties.

Glengarry County is rich in ancient lore, possesses many relics that played a prominent part in the early history of he country, and has within its borders historical spots and land- marks that are fast disappearing be-

(i iiii il Brave Lads Who Fell Fighting

For the Empire Remembered.

Premier Boss has introduced legislation making amendments to the general good roads act of 1900. It will be remembered, says the Brantford Expositor, by those familiar with thesubjeot, that that act pro vides that when a system of country roads is adopted, in order to obtain the Govern- ment grant, the amount of mileage of such system in each township municipality should he based on acerage.

The provision is to be dropped. County councils are to be allowed to lay out such county system as they see fit. Municipal, ities iu which no part of such system is laid out may be compensated by a special or annual grant, and a small grant may also be made to towns-and villages out of county funds, where they seem to be entit led to it. This is giving the local authorit ies larger powers than they secured in the original act.

Another important change is relative to the toll roads : The original act did not allow councils to secure the Government grant for the purpose of toll roads unless such roads constituted a part of a complete system. Now, county councils may -be able to buy up toll reads whether they form a complete county system or not, and draw the Government grant so far as it goes for such purpose. It is in reference to this change in the law that the plan of allowing county councils to compensate township, village or town municipalities that have no direct interest m such toll roads is to be carried out. Under the amendments of the law as proposed, a county could buy out its toll roads by arranging to pay the municipalities not directly interested in them, a such to which they may be entitled in the basis of their assessment as compared with the assess ment, of other municipalities and the county as a whole. The toll roads so pur- chased with Government and county money oombiued,'shall of coursa le owned and maintained by the county. Tkeie faaturee in rough outline are the changes proposed by the Premier. No doubt they will satis- fy a large body of public opinion, inasmuch as some of the provisions of the act originally drawn, render it difficult for county councils, owing to special circum- stances, to take advantage of the law and to secure their portioiTbf the 81,000,000 set aside by the Government for road improve- ment. Inasmuch as the law is being amended, the time in which county councils can take advantage of it is to be extended thus still farther postponing tbe time when township councils may do so.

THE HIGHEST DEMAND,

The ProceMSCN of Paetcurlzingr Clarlfylnsr Milk.

It uia3- prove interesting to some of our readers to know how the finest brands of milk are handled for the verj- particular market they are intend- ed to supply. Let us say right here that the influence of this highest de- mand is making itself felt all along the line, even to the ordinaiy creamery, calling for a more conscientious and intelligent treatment of the milk and its conditions, says Hoards Dairyman.

The Dayton (O.) Dure Milk and But- ter company have lately installed their plant, and we will describe the various processes through which the milk passes.

About twenty-five dairymen are now furnishing milk direct to the plant. Ever}- man's product is first tested each morning to see that it has not been doctored by the addition of formal- dehyde or other foreign substance or diluted with water. It is then put into a iarge tank and weighed. From this it goes with the other milk into a very largo open tank covered with cloth, whore it is constantly stirred to pre- vent the cream from rising. This is on the second floor. The next process takes the milk to the first floor, where it passes through the tempering tank. Here the temperature of the milk Is raised to about 102 degrees, not hot enough to change tlio chemical proper- ties of the milk, however. The process Is continuous from the time the fluid leaves the receiving tank until it is hermetically sealed in sterilized bot- tles. As It goes from the tempering tank it runs directly to the- clarifier, which makes thousands of revolutions a minute, and every particle of foreign matter is eliminated. And such stuff it is, a whole bucketful every day of the vilest of dirt and filth and the products of disease.

From t'3 clarifier the hot milk goes to the pasteurizers. There are three of these, the first filled with hot water, the second w-lth cold, the third with brine. In passing through these ma- chhics tlie temperature of tlie milk is lowered in about ten seconds from 1G2 to 38 degrees. And therein is the pas- teurizing process by which all bacteria and germs of every sort are killed, as tliey are not able to withstand the shock of the sudden change in temper- ature.

After bottling the milk is put In cold storage and licid for delivery. It is as pure iis milk can be and yet just as tru- ly milk ns it ever was. It will keep for five or six days in an ordinary refriger- ator. Tlie pasteurizing kills the lactic germs, which are responsible for the souring process.

The bottles are cleaned as clean as they can he made and afterward put in a sterilizing x-oom and subjected to 240 degrees of heat for half an hour.

'Ilio whole plant is in the highest de- gree wholesome and sanitary. The em- ployees dress In pure white, always fresh and clean.

pk.,i rv, Crevmerv

It is now generally conceded that the recent national legislation on oleomar- garine is not going to restrict the pro- duction of that article, and, further, that it is likely to increase its consump- tion, says Stockman and Farmer. The low license fee and the fact that re- tailers can make a greater profit from oleomargarine than from butter are powerful influences in extending the trade in the substitute. So far as color goes oleomargarine is now being col- ored without at least any apparent vio- lation of law. The coloring is not so rich as of yore, but it is sufficient to satisfy the consumer's eye, and oleo- margarines merits are being so gener- ally urged and the demerits of butter so forcibly set forth by the retailer that more people than ever are eating oleomargarine knowingly. A new proc- ess of renovating inferior butter is now in use by the packers, and this is hav- ing some influence on the market. On tlie whole we cannot say that the situ- ation justifies expectation of high prices for butter henceforth. Prices are fair now, all things considered, and the probability is that they will not be higher except for a brief period or un- der some stress of circumstances. The butter maker must depend on the excel- lence of his product to afford him a profitable market one year with anoth- er. Legislation will not do it, nor will anything else do it except the care and skill ill manufacture and marketing. Common butter must continue to sell cheap, just ns common products of all kluds sell. Broadly speaking, produc- tion is more evenly balanced now than it was. More milk is gojng into cheese and to the cities, and untij.there are more dairymen there is not likely to be a serious overproduction In the butter business. But good products will be necessary to profit.

Tlie Profit In, Feeding:. While nearly all admit that it pays to

feed liberally, but a small per cent of our dairymen practice full feeding. If they would remember that it takes ap- proximately CO per cent of all that a cow can eat to maintain her body, more would strive to get a profit from feeding the remaining 40 per cent, as it is in this that all the profit lies.

GITO tlie Ligriit* ,411 domestic animals prefer light

quarters to those that are dark, and lairymeu especially will do well to cater to this natural desire. Cows I.ept hi dark quarters are apt to have more or loss trouble with their eyes, ns too much darkness seems to cause de- rangement of the e're.

The weedy flavor of butter can be helped notwithstanding tho argument sometimes urged that the abnormal growth of weeds is due to the excessive moisture and the farmer has no con- trol over the clouds. It is true that weeds grow rapidly in wet weather and that they frequently hide the grass from sight and smother it so it cannot grow. But every farmer has a mowing machine, and these machines will mow weeds. If the grass divider is taken off so that the weeds as cut will be evenly distributed and the cut- ter bar is set to the highest notch, thou the weeds mown will make a fine mulch for the grass and will soon wither away and settle to the ground, and the timothy and clover will grow all the more luxuriously for the mulch and for the clipping of the tops, will thicken, take a firm root hold of the ground, and the pasture wiH again be a thing of beauty and of profit, with the weeds counted out for the season.

Mille Flour In Sweden. Dr. M. Ekenberg of Gothenborg,

Sweden, claims to have discovered a process whereby milk may be reduced to a fine flour and afterward trans- formed into milk ivlth all its alimen- tary qualities. The peculiarity of Dr. Ekenbergs discovery is said to lie In his having found the conditions under which the milk will retain its solubil- ity in water in spite of tho transforma- tion into powder. Formerly when milk was dried tho components became In- dissoluble. Dr. Ekenberg has refused to describe his apparatus for perform- ing the work, having applied for a pat- ent, hut says it will cost no more than a common separator. The working ex- penses for the production of milk flour, it is claimed, will not exceed 1 cent per gallon of milk. The flour of whole milk can be used for proclucing cream, butter and cheese. The new apparatus Js designed largely for tho production of flour from skimmilk.

XCeei> DoTrn tlie Mold. Moldiness in butter tubs frequently

starts in the tubs themselves owing to the uso of poorly cured stock, but it is much more liable to start when there is a local source of mold, says Hoards Dairyman. Mold should never he al- lowed to accumulate anywhere In a creamery or place where butter is stored, as it forms a seed bed that pro- duces mold in everything that comes near it. All such places should he cleaned out and hot whitewash used liberally or moldy tubs will always he a source of trouble.

The CoTV nnd the Man. To own a cow that gives G,000 pounds

of milk a year the dairyman must he a six thousand pound man. Tho fact is the cows early training and care has fully as much to do with her future usefulness as her breeding, and the dairyman who raises that kind of cows must he more than a mere cow keeper.

Of tho fifty horses whose names were on tho 1st day of March inscribed ,011 tho entry list for tlie Kings Plate of 1903, fifteen surviv- ed the trials of training with such a showing as justified their owners in sending them to the post. As is gen- erally the case, Mr. Seagram liad tho largiit representation, tliree out of his nine ontrie.s, and ia tho judgment of the average visitor ho had the strongest as well as the largest hand. Mr. Dyment .sent two, and Mr. Hendrio two out of an original entry of five. These wero tlio only owners to have more than a single starter. Tho other owners and tlieir horses were: II. C. Osliorno's Ciolden Crest, Adam Becks ilawkins, E. B. Clanceys Picktimo, D. Tliggiim Car- digan, C. B. Simpsons Jack Can- uck, Robt. Bavics i''armeis''.T'oe, G. W. Cooks Marston Moor, and Mrs. .1. A. McCullochs tVlriteward.

Mr. Byment had for many years entered his candidates for the Guineas, but up to this year the fickle goddess had vouchsafed her smile elsewhere. She doubly iitoned on Saturday for her neglect, for r..jt first place alone, but second .also, fell to Mr. Dyment. One of tho first to congratulate him was the Gover- noi-General, while his rivals tor tho coveted purse wore not backward la conveying to him their felicitations.

'There was other, racing on Satur- da.y, good racing and plenty of it, but for the average man and wo- man the other events do not Count for much on Plate Day. Tlie weather was cool, but bright and pleasant, and everything that could be done to provide a fine days sport was ar- ranged. Only one cloud passed over tile brightness of it ailtho tragic end of the Kings Plate favorite, Mr. .Seagrams Fly-in-Amber. She broke her leg when racing tho first furlong of tlie distance, and the iracture was so serious that she had to be des- troyed.

Toronto, May 18.In the ^gisla- tiire this afternoon Mr. Latchfords bill to create a Provincial Board of Conciliation and Arbitration for the seUieinciit of labor disputes was i*cad a first time. A number of pri- vate bills wore advanced a stage. An oixlcr was granted Dr. Barr for the pai>ers concerning tho smallpox epi- demic in 1902, and Mr. Latchford answered some questions concerning the leasing of Lake Manitou to a fishing company. Mr. Gibson, in re- ply to Mr. Lucas, said he hoped the position of County Clerk of York, made vacant by the death of Hon. A. M. Boss on Sept. 30, 1900, would soon be permanently filled.

Toronto, May 19.The Ircmicr, in answer to Mr. Duff, said the Gov- ernment had not any intention of do- ing away with the present Govern- ment House and said that the new Lieut.-Governor ^yould bo in occupa- tion in August. Air. Latchfords bill, financing the Temiskaming Hallway, was road a first time. It provides 20,000 of land per mile for meeting the cost. Mr. Ross' biH for the im- provement of Niagara River banks was road a second time. In supply, Provincial Secretary Stratton said tho Government had purchased 71 acres west of Miraico Asylum, twen- ty-one acres of which would be avail- able for the Industrial school. Near- ly a million dollars were voted for Hospitals and Charities and the House, adjourned.

Toronto, May 20.In the Legisla- ture th s afternoon. Col. Gibson in- Iroduced a bill to give police vil- lages a chance to carry out their own local improvements. An order' was granted Dr. Nesbitt for the pa- pers relating to tho appointment of John McMaster as road overseer in Algoma and Nipissing. The debate over the motion was very acrimon- ious. Mr, Hcndrie secured an order for the correspondence between the Go\xmment and any applicant for fishing* rights for commercial pur- poses in Lakes Nepigon, Manitou, and- other lakes in Ontario since I^Iay 1, 1902. A number of private bills wero read a second time and the House adjourned.

Toronto, May 21.Tho Legislature ,to*day attended to a number of Government orders including Mr. Harcourts bill to amend thc3 public schools act, under which discussion occurred relating to the salaries of inspectors. Both sides of the House agreed as to the insufireiency of the salaries, and Mr. Harcourt under- took to, have a clause inserted in tho bill dealing with tho subject. Col. Gibson promi.sed Mr. Downey that if he "would give him the names of companies carrying on a class of fraudulent loan business to which ho referred he would have them struck off tho register or otherwise proceeded against. Mr. Ross' bill respecting taxation of circuses was passed through committee without amendment, and his bill respecting public higihways was assented to. i\Tr. Whitney asked to have any rail- way resolutions there might be brought down early, and the House djourned.

Toronto, May 23.Very few of the members of tho Legislature remained in the city yesterday, being attract- ed to their homos for the Victoria Day celebration. Not much business was transacted. Shoftly after 3 o- clock Licutenant-Goyernor Clark, at- tended by Commander Law, reached the House and was escorted to tha

. Speakers chair by the Premier. The ceremony of assenting to the bills already passed was brief and divest- ed of pomp. Gentlemen will you dease be seated, was the only offi-

-ial remark of the new Executive, and as soon as the injunction was carried out the assistant clerk read tho bills, whicli required only tho signature of the. Lieutenant-Gover- nor to become-law. Then the Clerk of the House announced that Th His Majesty's name, His Honor tho Licutenant-Gorvernor doth assent to these bills, Mr. Speaker immediatc-

ly proceeded witli the ordinary rou- : tine as soon asvthe Lieutenant-Gov- ernor had loft the chamber.

Most of the afternoon was taken up with a discussion of Mr, Down- ey's bill to repeal tho Conmee sec- tions of the Municipal Act. The bill was read second time and sent to the Municipai Committee.

In reply to Mr. Preston of Brant, the Minister of Public Works said the .services of the secretary of the Lab- or Bureau hud been invoked as con- ciliator in 22 industrial disputes since April 1. ,H102, and in 17 ho was^ successful in promoting a set- tlement.

The House, adjourned till Tuesday. Santo Domingo, May 26.The ars-

enal at Santiago was blown up yes- terday by enemies of the present Government. Gen. Frias was killed and twenty-one pensons mortally wounded. The troops arc punsuing Gen. Jose Alviarcz, who is said to be the author of the explosion.

The gunboat Colon, which convey- ed Gen. Deschamps to Senchjez, has boon lost dff Cape Esiiada. Des- chemps and four others saved them- Kel\cs in a boat, but the remainder of the crew was lost.

Tli Gamcy Knquij y. Toronto, May 23.Thursday, Fri-

day and to-day Mr. S. IT. Blake, K. C., for the prosecution, and Mr. 1C. F. B. Johnston, K. C., for the de- fence, reviewed the evidence taken by the Gamcy Bribery Commission be- fore their Lordships. Mr. Blake ar- gued that the case had been proved against Mr. Stratton and the Gov- ernment, and Mr. Johnston argued the contrary. It is not thought the Commissioners will be long in re- porting the case to the Legislature.

^ Quebec, Laid Wa-sto b}- ix ;>Iost

Disastrous I'lro tVednesday.

St. Hyacinthe, Que., Slay 21.A terrible fire raged in St. Hyacinthe yesterday afternoon. It was tho most destructive that has over occurred in tho history of tho town, or in any of tho communities in tho district. Fire broke out during lunch hour, and by- 4 oclock in the afternoon three- quarters of a mile of tho business and busiest part was laid waste, and was a scene of devastation, desola- tion and ruin.

Two hundred and fifty houses have boon reduced to shapeless heaps of ashes, which, with live embers, line tho thoroughfares. Three hotels, two flour mills and several of tho largest business houses have disappeared as completely as if they had never e.x- isted. Tho market place, the princi- pal rendezvous of tho country round, is no longer rccoguizahle, and I lie St. Genevieve Hospital is destroyed.

AVhat added vastly to tho possililo magnitude of tho disaster is the fact that tho river is low, and that the Water supply practically gave out early. Water was being iiumpcd from tho wells, which did not hold out for any length of time.

Included in the 250 buildings burn- ed are three hotels, the Frontciiar, tho Union and the Ottawa. Among tho business places in ruins are Cote Bros, factory, the establishment of J.. Bourgeers, Hudon & Co., and Dusseau & Lamoureux^The loss thus far is estimated to c.xcood S20,000. It will, of course, bo much larger before the flames are finally subdued.

The gale carried huge flaming em- bers hundreds, of yards, and where they found lodgement a fire started, and in a few minulos was burning fiercely.

One man was seriously injured. His name has not been learned. It is not known whether any lives have been lost.

THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT.

Ottawa, May 18.Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier, replying to a question this af- ternoon, intimated that should the German Government attempt to car- ry out their reported intention of shipiiing ex-convicts to Canada, tho laws preventing tho admission of un- desirable immigrants into Canada will be rigorously enforced. All the private bills upon the order paper were advanced a stage. Mr. Monks bill respecting' insolvency was de- feated upon the motion for tho sec- ond reading by a majority of 32. In committee upon Mr. Puttees bill to amend the Conciliation Act there was a spirited debate, but after much amendment stands for third reading. Mr. Bickordlkes cigarette bill came to a sudden end, upon the ruling of tho. Spealeer that the rules of the House had not been observed in its intro-duction.

Ottawa, May 19.Hon. Mr. Pro- fontainos bill to assimilate the Ca- nadian deck load law with British law was read In the House to-day for the first time. Sir William Mu- locks bill for the settlement of railway labor disputes was read a first tiino. Sir Wilfrid Laurier an- nounced that a commission would he a.ppointed to investigate the Yukon I'readgold Water concession. All tho Public Works Departmental estimates wore-' passed with the exception of one item which was held for further consideration.

Ottawa, May 20.-'Government bus- iiU'S.s was advanced substantially at to-days session of the Mouse. Mr. Germans bill to compel railways to provide perfect appliances for the prevention of sparks from locomo- tiw's was read a first time. The Minister of Customs announced an extontion of the time for bringing in German goods exempt from tho sur- tax from June 30 to Sept. 30. In supply Yukon justice estimates were passed, and tho House adjourned ov- er King's Birthday.

IN NATURES GARB.

Twenty-Six Starlc Naked Doukhobors Locked Up in Yorkton.

Winnipeg, May 22.Yorktou has another Doukhobor invasion on its hands. Word reached town yesterday afternoon that a number of lunatics were marching again.

Corp. Junget of tho Northwest Mounted Police, accompanicct-Iiy his .assistants here and a crowd of cur- ious town people, went north to meet them. The corporal met the pilgrims, twenty-six in number, about half a mile from town and ar- ra.vcd in natures garb only. They had called a halt and discarded ev- ery stigo of clothing.

Corporal Junget at once ordered the Doukhobors to put on their clo- thing and. submit to immediate ar- rest. After these orders were com- plied with, they marched into town in silence, winding up finally at the immigration luiU. Tho pilgrims wore hustled into a room and locked up.

Tho police liavc not arrested tho band yet, but will await further in- structions from headquarters. There are no women with this ' crowd, which come.s mainly from Stonoy Creek, whore the trouble originated last fall.

At last the Gamey investigation has been completed and the Legislature will again come into its own, in the matter of prominence in the public eye. For five weeks the members have been assembling five afternoons a week, and have been holding the usual number of night sessions, and deporting themselves in something of the ostentatious way common to all human beings when they occupy the centre of the stage. But this time Parliament has not been in the centre of the stage. It has been eclipsed. The calcium light has been turned in another direction and the bump tions strutting of three hundred instead of one hundred legislators would not have sufifioed to deflect it. To a certain extent the Queens Park politicians seemed to have realized this and they have quietly retired to the woodpile where they have said little but have worked the buck saw pretty hard. On Friday they took their breath while they piled a portion of the result of their labors. The pile was quite a respectable one, including as it did no less than twenty flve Acta of Parliament which have been introduced into the Legis lature and carried to a third reading daring the present session. Twenty five acta would be a fairly respectable accomplish ment for an entire session, but they repre- sent only a fraction of the wood that has been sawed and to be sawed before this present session can prorogue.

On Friday, then, the new Lieutenant Governor appeared and gave the assent of the Crown to the twenty five acts which had been approved of by Parliament, and twenty five more acts have accordingly been added to the statute books, and to that extent, eager lawyers will be farther assisted to make a living. It was Mr Mortimer Clarks first appearance in the Legislature in his new role, and of course he acquitted himself creditably. As a matter of fact the ceremony of assenting to Acts of Parliament appeals to the ordinary individual as being somewhat farcical, but then it is a prominent tradition of the British constitution, and as such, is entit led to our reverence. One can imagine the

animated scene when the King of the Empire rolls in state up to Westminister to give his assent to Imperial laws. That scene is supposed to be represented in rain iature when Ontarios Lieutenant Governor moves up to Queens Park to assent to Ontarios laws. The parallel was jarred a bit on Friday by the fact that the Lieut. Governor did not employ a carriage of any kind ; he walked. Attired in the dress of any gentleman and accompanied only by Commander Law, a permanent official of the Lieutenant Governors staff, he strolled up to the parliament buildings and do'wn again as though out for his afternoon exer cise. Ilia Honor is a great walker, thereby displaying a democratic spirit under a dig nifisd exterior mien. Lieutenant Govern nor. Clark is not the first Scotch Presby terian who has been both dignified and democratic.

But apologies are due to Mr Gamey for speaking so long about some one else, even though the some one else be the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. Mr Gamey has been engaged in putting on a front, in other words, he has been patting on a good face- He evidently came to the conclusion that so long as he moped and made an outcast of himself, he would remain an outcast. So he has decided, in the slang of the street to buck up and butt in. The other morning he made his first appearance in one of the committees of the Legislature and insisted on posing.as one of the impor tant members. Ho took his seat at the table right opposite the chairman, drew pen and ink and paper to his side and assumed a very business like attitude. Ho essayed to offer some authoritative opinions to the committee in the discussion that followed, and when no one seemed to pay much attention. Dr Beattie Nesbitt who sat beside him and who has assumed a sort of god fathership to him, repeated the argu- ment for the benefit of the listeners.

The performance was but a warming up canter, for the next day Mr Gamey jumped into a discussion in the Legislature itself. He began by asking Mr Latchford, Minis- ter of Fisheries and Public Works, some questions. Truth to tell, Mr Latchford did not treat the member for Manitoulin with any too much courtesy, but that did not discourage Mr Gamey at all. He went on to make quite a speech, disclosing a glib tongue and a weak voice that someway has a false ring in it.

Then on Saturday the man from Mani- toulin blossomed out as a society man at the races at the Woodbine. He appearsd in a brand new suit and a sporty looking summer overcoat, also fresh from the tail ors. In all these roles Mr Gamey seemed as a man who was trying to start on an attempt to live down part of his past life. He was trying to do as other men do, but try as he would he could not get away frotn-A wtoriqljy that must haunt hi.sr;.!!! a ni^taiaTWJJcr;- *

The decision of the Judges who have led' case is expected early

next week, but of course delays are possible. The House, it is announced, will not

adjourn until after that decision has been eceived, and perhaps not for some time after that, for it is predicted that there will then be a long debate in which the Gamey affair is to be served up again in a new form. We have had Gamey served hot and Gamey served cold already we have yet to look forward to Gamey hash.

One thing is certain, the party that sets itself up to oppose the decision of the Jud- ges is going to have a hard time of it. At the,present moment, the Liberals are con fident that the decision cannot go against them, but if it does, they may as well sub- mit to the inevitable and retire as grace- fully as possible. The same applies to the other side. It is just possible that this is the view that political leaders on each side will take and that the finding of the Com- mission will be accepted as the end of the whole matter. That that finding will be the fairest and beet that could possibly have been reached cannot be denied. The prejudical opinion expressed in one or two hysterical quarters, that a Committee of the House would have obtained mora evi- deuce than the Royal Commission has done is absurd. In view of the develop- ments that have taken place since the trial began, and the intricacies that have been followed out, a Committee of the House would have foundered before it had got well out of port.

Another week has passed in the House and there has been no call to arms in the Whitney camp. There has been the earns happy go lucky, spiritless, hap hazard procedure. There was to be a division one nightthe first since March. The word went out from the Opposition leaders room. The Conservative whip sent tele- grams to London and elsewhere telling members to be sure to be on hand, and every member was on hand at eight oclock. Mr Whitney was to make a great speech, slashing the Grits right and left. This was to be followed by a general debate and a division. But what happened ? Nothing. Mr Whitney didnt make a speech. He explained to some of his friends that it was too warm and so the division miscarried. Adam Beck of Lon- don, the handsomest man in the House, who likes horses better than he likes politics, gently uttered some ugly words under his breath and left the buildings. And Adam Beck was not the only Conser- vative member who was chagrined.
