Says a Washington journalist: The impression has gone abroad that tbia is a very religious administration.

But then the unspeakable Turk has false ideas of modesty. He won't lut his women-folks expose more than the tip of their nose to heaven's sunlight, and the decoUete outfit which some Christian ladies afl'ect, on certain occasions, would put, the "-iuUimo Porto" into fits, BATTLE WITH INDIANS, Helena, Mon.. June 25.—News reached here early this morning from Arlee, lln principnl town in the Fiat- head reserve, that Sheriff Hey fron aud a posse from Missoula county, who went to tho reserve to nrreBt threo Indian murderers aro having a battle with the Indians, who refused to give up the men wanted. Two Indians aro reported to have been killed already. Agent Honan has called on the officer in command at Fort Missoula for troops, but that officer is waiting ordors irom Washington, In the meantime a posse of well known citizens fromMissoulaheaded by MayorSioane, has been organized, and it is on its way to aid the sheriff. The civil officers are determined to arresi the murderers, and as tha Indians are determined not to give them up serious trouble is feared. THE 'FRISCO SUSPECr. San Fhancisco, June 25.—The San Franciscan, who a Chicago despatch says tho polico there have under surveillance ou suspicion of connection with the Cronin murder, is thought to be Maurice Welch, the famous fenian and for many years the warm personal friend of Luke Dillon. Tlio report that the office-seekers at Washington havo nearly worried President Harrison to death is borne out by the statement that between March 4 and May 18 he mado 9,500 appointments, During the corresponding period of 1885 President Clevland, according to the Springfield Republican, filled only 2,000 offices, It might be mentioned in this connection that Republican sentiment on the subject of civil service reform seems to have undergone a i imarkable chango since the party's platform was framed and adopted at Chicago a year ago. Deer farming is a new venture, but it has been tried and proven n success by Major W. L, Thomas and J. 0. Hunt, of Valdosta, Ga. Each gentleman has a drove of deer that run about in n pasture liko cattle. The only difference between tho two pastures is that it is neces sary to enclose the deer within a wire fence about twelve feot high. Pastures of this kind are planted in rye, upon whioh the deer feed and keep rolling fat. In the winter it is, of courso, necessary to feed them upon grain, but as deer can be fed on the same quantity, or very little more, than a turkey, the cost of raising them is very slight, while they sell at n high rate.

The increase in tho steam tonnage of tho world in 1888 was 633,048 tons, or twice as much ns that of 1886 and 1887 com* liincd, and of this half was built by Ih'itish owners. Other great nations had large shares in the increase, but the United States is away down in the list, hor additions to her steam fleet being but littlo moro than double in tonnage those of the Sandwich Islands. But, with freo trade (..rent Britain in the field, no other nation can maintain a protective tariil and hope to build up a shipbuilding industry at the same time.

New London, Coun., Juno 25.—*The Yale and Pennsylvania boating ofticials had a warm controversy at thoir quarters last night. Yalo objects to four post grsduntos who aro seated in the Pennsylvania b-at as Freshmen. Ai'ier a long wrangle Yalo finally agreed to ioa- the raco this afternoon at 5o'clock. Tho Yale and Freshmen boat inn men then notiliod the PciuiBylvaiiiuns that Yale would row uo m<>ro races with crews from tho University of Ponnsyl vnuiit. That will ond Yale's annual contest with the Quakers. Tho Yalo men thun asked Harvard to admit Yalo to the Harvard-Columbia raco ou Thursdny. Thia foil through, but from the drift uf conversation it was plain that Harvard is tired of these side shows, aud favors confining her annual events to races between the Yalo aud Harvard University and Freshmen crews.

Thia morning they wero countersigned by the aeeretary of Btate. George W. Baker, of Illinois, U. S. attorney's officer left for Chicsgo on the noon train with the papers in his possession. THE PENITENTIARY REJOLT. Ottawa, Juno 24. —The threatened revolt at the Kingston penitentiary to-day did not take place, as the result of precautionary measures. In loss than thirty minutes the men of "A" battery wero inside the prison walls and wero bo stationed in different parts of the institution that not a single prisoner was aware of their presence. This arrangement, Bays tho warden, would effectually prevent the carrying out of the previous plan which was as follows: '-Each gang, in whioh are 50 or 00 men with four or five guards, was at a given signal to overpower the guards, and then tie them up in the shops. Tho outside gangs, that is the mon working outside the prison walls, nnd who number 70 or 80, were, on hearing tho signal, to overpower their guards, open the gates and attack the tho armory in which all our lifles and amunilion are stored. When wo consider the number of prisoners in the institution, 660 in all, one can very well see the folly of attempting to quell such a general "uprising as was threatened without outside help. Another point, too, that rendered it important that we should have an extra force viz: That even should th<- prisotiers only overpower a few guards, they could prevent other guards from firing by holding up before them as shields, theso guards whom they had in their power, and they might quite easily have made their escape that way. The minister of justice and Inspector Moylan expressed themselves perfectly satisfied with my courso. When the prisoners wero coming from breakfast troops wero drawn up in line in two files and the prisoners marched through. It ia hardly necessary to Bay they were greatly surprised. They at onco lost heart and an outbreak was not attempted. We have arrested the ringleaders and in due timo punishment will bo meted out to them." - . NO PROTECTION THIS YEAR. Ottawa, Juno 24,—It is stated in official circles that no action will be tnken at presont by cither the Dominion or British governments in regard to protecting British sealing vessels in Behring sea, The question as to the right of the United States to exclusive jurisdiction will for the present be held in abeyance, as on good authority it is learned that tbo British government is seeking the co-operation of several maritime powers of the world, with n view to joining the dispute against the U. S. claims, and to force tho question to arbitration. The British government will toko no notion until a settlement lins been arrived at in this way. i BURSED. Syracuse, N. Y., June 24. —Fire seriously damaged the Vanderbllt house this morning. It started in tho upper story and burned down to some extent though it was largely confined to the 3rd story and the roof. Great damage was done to the furniture, etc. by water. AU tho guests escaped in safety. The hotel Btook was valued at $50,000; insured for $40,000. lhe loss is estimated at (30,000. A WONDERFUL OPINION. New York, Juno 24.—The Courier des Estate Unts writing editorially this morning on Bismarck and Switzerland Bays: "The neutrality of Switzerland in the event of a war in Europo would be exposed to extreme peril, and tlio eagerness which the German chancellor has shown in exaggerating tho insignificant Wohlgmuth incident can have no other purpose than to create in advance pretexts for the agcressson of which he would avail himself at the proper time and place. The neutrality of Switzerland is menaced even moro than that of Belgium. In tho event of war with France tho violation of Swiss territory would be a necessity of the German army, which would thus turn the forts ou our eastern frontier, and especially of tho auxiliary Italian arm-,, which would seize the almost impossible defiles of tlie Alps. In a year these strategic considerations may perhaps explain tbe animosity with whieh Bismarck haB treated tlie Wohlgmuth affair." ADRUrONTUEDEEP, San Franoisco, Juno 24.—The str. Crescent City, from tho northern California coast, this morning, reports having cut from the schooner Wing and Wing, which went ashore thore a few weeks ago. A gale sprang up next morning and the lines became parted. It was impossible to remain by the t-choouerand the Bteamer continued to port. The steamer became water losgcd and is now probably drifting about. SERIOUS AFFRAY. Haverstraw, Juno 24.—A gang of colored mon and of Hungarians, engaged in a serions riot at Joues Point yesterdny afternoon, tho result of which was thi* shooting of 4 Hungarians by tho colored men. The colored line has been the occasion of a groat doul of bitter feeling, wliich found vent in two Hungarians attempting to drown a negro. The lat tor's friend saw the attempt and went to his rosouo. Tho Hungarians gathered to do battle for thoir two friends. A colored man named Jamos Morton doliborately drew a revolver and fired seven shots, bringing down four Hungarians ono of whom waB instantly killed. Then tho light bscamo general, and knives and pistols were freely used. Word wns immediately sent to Haverstraw and two officers and Coroner McGowan visited the scene, when Clarke Ryder, Walter Dean, Frank Long and Walter Davis were arrested and held as witnesses, while Morton, tho man who did tho shooting made his escape. This morning tho colored mon started to work in a brickyard, when the Hungarians turned out and with shouts of ''four niggera for ono whito man" drove them from the placo. Sheriff Shankey haa boen telegraphed for. Still further troublo is anticipated. THE RIPPER'S VICTIM. The Identity of the Woman Found in the River Thames has been Established. Mr. Joseph Kenny Gives Evident Before the Parnell Commission Concerning Lecaron. The French Elections will Probably Take Place Within a Few Months, THE RIPPER'S VICTIM. London, June 25,—The identity of the woman whose body was recently taken piecemeal out of tho Thames, has been established, several persons having recognized her by the clothing in which parts of her body was wrap* ped, and by peculiar scars on the arms. She was Elizabeth -Jackson, a frequenter of common lodging houses in Ohel* 6(M, and virtually a prostitute. She was known to bo nlivo on May .list. The identification haB revived the theory that she was another victim of Jack the Ripper. PARNELL COMMISSION. London, June 25.—Before the Par* nell commission to-day Joseph Kenny testified he did not know Lecaron. Ho denied he introduced Lecaron to Mr. Sexton. He would nut allow auch a man into his house. Lecaron, lie said, had a false faco whioh would make honest men chary of associating with him. IMPRISONED MEMBERS. London, June 24.—In a small pamphlet just printed by order of the houae of commons, is contained a record of the convictions of members of parliament for offences against ths Crimes act, showing that during the past yoar Irish members have been sentenced to terms of imprisonment aggregating nearly seven years. Twenty-four Irish members have been convicted, and one English member, Mr. Conybeare, has a sentence still hanging over him. Cox and Finuucaiie sustained no less than firo prosecutions, though their sen* tonccs aggregated only five and nine months, respectively. Mr. Condon, undergoing his fourth incarceration, haB altogether been sentenced to 8 months' imprisonment. Edward Harrington has to complete a term of six months following another of one month, and Patrick O'Brien's two convictions have abut him up for seven months. William O'Brien hns received sentences aggregating six months and David Sheehan 10 months. THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. Paris, June 24.—Report ia now becoming generally believed thnt the French government intends to hasten the elections, and that it will probably fix them fur the middle of August.

Strickland & Co. commenced selling farming implements in this city, during that time they have reduced the coft to the farmers fully 25 per cent., and are now offering their many frionds a far superior articlo at a much reduced price, whioh has been badly needed fn this country, Victoria houses havo until now controlled this important trado, but tho farmers of the mainland now see thoy can get as good, if not superior articles, in this oity, where repairs of every description nro kopt, whioh is a great convenience of itself. Messrs, Strickland & Co, say, their "Little Maxwell Bh.der" is more popular than ever this year, and tho "Toronto" mower is the monarch of the meadow. They sell tho Maxwell mower for $05. If only for a lawn, no farmer oan afford to be without one. It will pay the most careful buyor to call on or writ" Messrs, Strickland & Co., when in ueed, of anything in the farming machinery line. Thoy employ no travelling humbugs, but give their patrons the benefit. * Children Cryfor Pitcher'sGastoti,-. NEW WESTMINSTER BUILDING SOCIETY.

It is matter for congratulation that the liquor license by-law hns been satisfactorily disposed of at lust to all parties. As will be scon by tho report elsewhere of the council proceedings, Alderman Curtis' amendment by-law was passed last night, und the original by-law will now be enforced from and after tho 30th of June next, in all particulars except in the matter of tho remitting of half the license fee for saloons for the noxt six mouths, ns provided by Alderman Curtis' amendment. The by-law is a good measure as a whole, and its proper enforcement (for which the citizens have a guarantee in their mayor und couucil, if properly supported) cannot fail to give the royal city a higher status than it has hitherto possessed in matters of common morality aud outward decorum, which will bo a distinct gain to the city from a material standpoint even. While on the subject of the by-law, we would remark that Alderman Curtis did himself honor last night by his frank and ample apology to his worship Mayor Hendry for tho hasty and unintentional personal remarks which he (Alderman Curtis) had let slip on the previous meeting night. As to the liquor license by law itself, it is said that, notwithstanding the licensed victuallers having been conceded what they asked, viz., the remittance of half the license fee on saloons for six months, they will contest the measure on other points. This is not at all improbable* but we are sure the largo majority of our citizens have come to tlm conclusion that it is time the city, for its own dignity and welfare, took a different stand on this question than that which was token a few years ngo, when the humiliating statement was made in open council thnt it was deemed prudent to repeal a Sunday closing measure for the reason that the city hud no money to oppose the contests nf the licensed victuallers in tlm courts, Westminster hns taken several large strides sinco then, and we venture to say that its chief magistrate and board of nklcr- men are now prepared to uphold in befitting uiunncr the honor of tlio city by being responsible for the final enforcement of its statutes, if legal quibbles should cause some trouble and expense in the meantime. various kinds of Imperial service Lord Rosebery bit off last night by describing him as the "maid-of-all- work of tho empire." It would huvo been singularly ungracious on tlie part of the nation if some portion of it able to speak and act in behalf of tbe rest had suffered Lord Dufierin to pass from his duties in India to his duties in Rome without some populur testimonial of admiration. In his marquisate Lord Dufierin already possessed tha official guerdon of his servicrH. This honor was supplemented yesterday by ono which is seldom conferred except in sympathy with the desire of the nation, It will be the opinion of everyone that his sixteen years of servico as a diplomatist, as governor- general of Canada, and as viceroy of "India fairly entitled Lord Dufferin to the ovation which ho recoived. Although tho governorship of Canada had its own peculiar difficulties, India, as Lord Dufterin's most recent and most diflioult provinco, was naturally the burden of his evening speech of thanks." Lady Dufferin, it should bu mentioned, not only ably assisted her distinguished hits- bad in India, as all know so well sho did in Canada, in all the social duties of the vicoroyalty, but, as most readers of the current news of the day will bo aware, sho did much to ameliorate and elevate the condition of the women of India, by establishing hospitals for women, with female physicians and nurses (none other being allowed to attend them), and also founding a female medical college, which is largely attended, und will continue to be a means of much good to India's women. Altogether, the names of both Lord and Lady Dufferin will be o.s fragrance in tho land of the Ganges, as they ure today hold in high .and deserved regard the civili-jed world over.

Lord Dufferin, the most popular and successi-jl governor-general that tlie Dominion has ever had, wins fresh laurels and golden opinions and deserved honors in every high position of trust in his country's service to which he is called; and whatever may be the political complexion of tho party in power in the courts of St. James—Liberal or Conservative —this tactful Irishmun, this consummate diplomat, this man with the glass eye, the Marquis of Duf- fi'riu, is invariably given the most delicate missions, the most difficult posts, and the hardest knots to untie, within the disposal of the empire. Lord Dufferin has recently finished a most successful term as viceroy of India,wliere, by his rare tact und other good qualities, supplemented by the invaluable services of his noble wife, Lndy Dufferin, the effect of his reyim.. while advancing British interests in India, Burmah and Afghanistan, has been conciliatory towards Russia, und eminently successful iu winning the esteem and regard of the natives of India, and placing tlmt country upon a good footing in every respect. A fitting honor was conferred upon thn returned stato-miun in London, on the 30th of Moy last, preparatory to his setting out to attend to his now duties in Itom", whither he haB been appointed, ln tho aftornoon of that dey he was presented with tho freedom of the city of London, an honor rarely conferred, and in the evening lie was entertained by tho lord mayor and corporation at a banquet in the Guildhall. The London Times, of the date of May 31st, thus comments upon the incident: "The significance of tho honor thus paid to the late vicoroy of India rests upon something more than the historical sentiment attach ing to tho gift of the city's freedom, and the distinguished services of the men upon whom it haa been conferred iu times past. This significance is enhanced in the case of Lord Dufferin by other considerations. He ia ono of the few civilians who have receiver! the magic distinction; aud, above all, the corporation in doing him honor, expresses the unanimous approbation of Iub countrymen. The 1*011 of the guests at the banquet shows that Lord Duf- fej-in'i namo, unlike that of some Indian viceroys, is associated with no feelings of partisanship, and no extreme or bitterly contested views of policy. Politicians sharply divided in matters of home interest find fo his broad-based policy it common plane of agreement, nnd allow that while others may have shown greater daring, greater rashness or greater brilliancy, Lord Dufferin represents the most prudent, most unprejudiced, most far-seeing type of Imperial administrator. Hii adaptability to, That was an interesting discussion in the Methodist conference, says the Empire, about tho uso by churchmen of the "secular press" for airing religious controversy in preference to the special paper or organ of the denomination. There were no aspersions cast upon tho secular press, nor was its standing in any way im- punged, but the impression produced by reading the sentiments of some of the speakers was that tho daily paper is not so suitable a medium for discussing moral and religious pointBof difference us the regularly accredited journal of the church. Tho idea desired to be conveyed wus perhaps, tho Empire thinks, that the daily paper is not so reverential as it might be, that an article on n religious topic would, from its environments, carry less weight than if addressed to tiiose whoso mind:-* wen- devoted for the time being to the perusal of what a church weekly contains. A question is involved iu the above not altogether uninteresting to daily newspaper makers ns well as readers, and the Empire stands up ably for the.daily "secular paper" as the fit and proper -- am i most fit and pro-jet-—exponent uutl medium forthedisuussion of all phases nnd questions affecting society us u whole. Our eotempornry continues as follows : Well, if such n notion were entertained by mo-dtseubser**. of tlie question at the conference— and we do not say strictly that it was—the candid truth is that the daily paper, full of vitality, dealing with living issues, "the very age and body of the time, its form and pre:* sure," must be thu natural recourse of all who wish their best thoughts to make the deepest impression. The denominational press tills its own sphere, and lilts it well. Of invaluable aid to the particular reli gious community which it serves, a church paper has influence beyond the circle it mure definitely addresses; but eveu then its work is circumscribed, nnd the controversialist naturally betakes himself to the paper which reflects Ins whole life and not the religious phase of it only. In its own way, and with its own power, the secular press, so- called, is doing as earnest a work for Christian morality, for true principles, for obedienco to tho civil authority, as those, who under different names, are sincerely laboring to uplift humanity by encouraging organized church work. There ought tu bo no distinction in their ultimate aim, nnd the solo difference of actual account in the long run is that tiio journalism which exercises tho most profound influence on Bociety at large, whose efforts are sustained and ever-present, is liable to be flippantly dismissed ns the "secular press," and prevented from accomplishing a full measure of good by mistaken ideas of its purpose.

Yestinlay tho cheque waa returned and another aaked for with §14.08 interest added to it. Interest at tho rato of 18 per cent, per annum is not to be sneezed lU, and it would be n highly profitable business to allow nil taxes to run a few yoars behind. Somo people think this rato Bhould be reduced by at least 12 por cont. fit. Ann's It-cziiiir. The bazaar in aid of St. Ann's convent commenced at noon to-day, and may bo already pronounced an unqunl:* fied success. Strange as it may seem, if ladies nre alluwed to get up nn affair of this kind without assistance from tho masculine sex, they always man- ago to do so much better. This may be a .olfaction on the sterner sex, but if anyone doubts the assertion let him pay a visit to tho drill shed and bo convinced. The lunch served from 12 to 2 o'clock was most appetizing, aud everyone who enjoyed tho feast left the building regretting having eaten ao much. Tho display of fancy work i3 very largo and line, and tho useful articles uro too numerous to mention. To-night tho building is expected to be packed, und tho Fort Douglas band wili be in attendance to keep the peoplo in good spirits. ] annsBBBBB trtinarailllngoopyofa resolution passed by your city council, expressing tlie opinion thnt, for reasons stated, "lhe government ought to provide a second teaoher for tho High School, wbo wilt enter upon his duties after the summer vacation," The grounds stated for tills opinion are: (1) that, ln the opinion of tlie council tbe nui'ihcrof pii]>llri Iii alt Inn. i' and the uiitnberof siibji-cts requited lo In-taught niosuch as to make I I quilt; lm possible for one teacher to do Justice to the -cliool, nnd (1!) I hut the government requires lho city to contributo one-third lho cost of the maintenance of the schools, which contribution is supposed to bo equivalent to tho cost of tbe high school. lu regard to the first ground, 1 beg to sny Unit, however much the opinion of the council may ho entitled to consideration, in a matter of tliis kind I feel hound to attach more Importance to thut of tbo superintendent of education* nml having discUBsed the subject more than once with that gentleman, hs well as with the provincial inspector of publii-schools, I have arrived at, n diflbront conclusion, and I venture to think that the following brief Btatoment of fuels will convince the members of the couucil that tbey have been laboring uiider misapprehension on ibis point. Tho average dally nttcmlnm-o at tbe WeBtmlnster high school Is, according to the latestotllclalreturns,twenl.v*ono. The daiiv beiiish ccanitBiAN, nkw xnmamm, a a, jtoe to, im. average dally attendance at the Victoria high school Is, according to the same authority, seventy-six, distributed about Valuable Farm Transfers. Several of tlio largest transfers of farm property, which bave taken placo in tho province, have juat been concluded. Mr! J. C. Calhoun haa roid his farm on tho Delta of 850 acres tu Messrs. Page Bros., of Nova Scotia, for the sum of &'03,!)00. The sale does not include the live stock and farming implements, which aro valued at $18,000. Mr. Calhoun purchased this land five years ago for §18,3150, which waa considered u very high figure, and the neighboring farmers all decided that tho bargain wus a bad one for Mr. Calhoun. With tho help of hia live sons Mr. Calhoun drained and cultivated the land, nnd brought it into Btichastato of perfection that it bus now been sold at a figure which even the most sanguine never dreamed would be obtained Over and above iho stock, etc., Mr. Oalhuun lias 200 tons of last years' crop unsold, and wliich he is keeping for high prices. Mr. John Dooley, of the Delta, has sold to Mr. J, C. Calhoun, with stock and implements. 32f>acres of improved land for 330,000. Mr. Calhoun has alao purchased from Meaars. Pemberton & Sons, of Victoria, 24n acres of firm land at §05 por acre, situated a short distance below Ladner's Landing, and whicli is considered aa fine aa any in tlie province. Theso figures show what values may bo expected to reach in British Columbia when tho country ia thickly settled. Tlie snlo to MegBis. Page Bros, wna transacted through A. J. Hill ft Co. of thia oity.

From tho minister of education na follows: Victoria, B, O., Juno 20th, 1889. P. Hoiw-on, Esq,, 0. M C. ISew Westminster, 11, C. equally hetween tho two division:-. The average daily attendance nt I he Nnnaimo high school Is eighteen. Tho samo subjects (lho subjects prescribed by all high schools) are tiiughl ln ench of the divisions In tho Victoria school, the only diU'eretico being that lu the lower division the pupils are brought ou ton certain point in all tbo subjects, when lliey pass Into the higher division, where thoy uro advanced further in theso branches. It will be soaui therefore, that if there were a second timelier in iho Westminster high school lho twenty-one pupils would be placed in two divisions, lu onuh of which nil the snbleels would bo taught; the only practical dlfll-reiico being that you would hnvo two teachers with, say, ten pupils each, Instead of, as now, one teacher Willi twenty-one pupils; nnd ns I urn advised, there would beiioappreclable ill (Terence in the labor of teaching tho smaller or the larger number. It will have been noted that each of lhe teachers in tho Victoria high school is teaching all the prescribed subject.1*- to about thirty-eight pupils. Could the government juslify tbo payment of two high school teachers for teaching ten pupils each InWcstmlnster? Referring to the second ground upon whleh tho opinion expressed by your counoil Is based, I take the liberty of pointing out what appeors lo mo to boa two-fold fallacy. (1) Tho city la not called upon to contributo one-third tho cost of tho maintenance of the schools within Its bounds, but only one-third of the tenchon-.' salaries. t2) Nor Is tho contribution intended or "supposed to be equivalent" to the cost of tiic btgb schools. The existence of a high school in New Westminster constituted only one of tho reasons for levying the contribution; but It was nover understood or Intended by the legislature that tbe cost of the high schools should be either tiic sole ground or the gauge of tho contribution. On tho contrary, it was fully explained to tho legislature that the charge upon the four cities was to do moro than relieve tho general revenue of tho burden of the high sobopls. II was Intended ns a measure to s] ightly ease the provincial treasury of the heavy and ever Increasing charge for education, by requiring the four wealthiest communities in the enjoyment of extraordinary educational advantages to make a Blight contribution in aid of education In less favored communities, thereby making 11 possible to maintain intact a system of free stale education which Is tho pride and boast of the province. It may be noted liilliiscoi-iicctlon.tlint, ns minuter of fin t, Vancouver wns not, and Is not now, in the enjoyment of a hi'^li school.

His worship took advantago of hia privilege and retired from the board. Aid, Reid movod that clauso 2 be read. Aid. Scoullar moved in amendment that the preamble be rend. Aid. Calbick in amendment to the amendment that tho preamble be not read. Thia was carried on a show of hnnda, Meaars. Curtis, Cunningham, Calbick and Reid voting for, and Messrs. Ewen, Scoullar and McPhaden voting against, Aid. Cunningham moved that clause 2 bo read. Aid. Curtia Baid he wns sorry thnt a few of the nldcrmon still appeared determined to deprive tho saloon keepers of what it had been deoided they nre entitled to. Personally it did uot make much difference to linn how tho tiling went, ho was simply keeping faith with tho promise ho had mado. He, howover, thought the champions of tho licensed victuallers wore pursuing a very strange course. Aid. Roid waa of tho namo opinion uud pointed out that if tho by-law failed to pnss tho saloon keepers would bo forced to pay the wholo ninount. Clauso 2 mid the prenmblo passed and tho committee rose and reported progress. Aid. Scoullar opened firo on the original by-law, snid it hnd been rushed through hastily, without proper consideration and at n meeting when uot half uf tho members of tho council woro present. Mayor Hendry: Alderman Scoullar, you are stating what is not correct. The by-law was passed in open counoil and thete was a quorum present. Aid, Scoullar: I did not any thero was no quorum present. Mayor Hendry: You snid half of the council was nut present, and that means no quorum. I distinctly sny thero wna a full quorum, and if you personally wero uot present, it is your own fault nnd nut that of tho council.
