Notes and Comments. |

A bill has been introduced iato the | Ontario Legislature to prevent frauds in| milk. Amy person who sells milk skimmed or partly sour is to be made liable to a fine of not less than $1 or more than $50. There is a provision that this shall not prevent the sale of skimmed milk where the same is skimmed to the knowledge of the buyer.

Any person defrauded is to have the right to recover damages by civil process.

— Mr. Turner, the Finance Minister of British Columbia, recently hai a lengthy conference with Hon. Mr. Angers, Mr Lowe, the Deputy Minister of Agr culture, and Mr. George Johnson, Dominion statistician, respecting the »s)lg-d in- accuracies in the British Columbia census Mr. Turner is anxious to secure an orde from the Dominion Government to have a4 test made of the enumerators’ books with a view to seeing whether the results bear ou! the allegations of the British C lumbia Government that inaccuracies have taken place in recording the population of the province,

—The long and tiresome argument of Mr. Carter in favor of treating Alaska seals as domestic animals having, as the Mone- etary Times points out, no basis of inter- national law to rest upon, are not regarded as calling for @ reply from Sir Charles Russel, on the question of right. But as Mr. Carter's natural history and philosophy have some bearing on the queetion of regul- ation, they may come in tor notice at a later period when the question of right has been disposed of and that of reg: lation comes up. The Court of Arbitration has decided that counsel for Great Britain shall argue the question of right and that of regulation separately, but that the tribunal will not give separate decisions.

— We note that workmen are employed cleaning up Queen Square. This is right. The square should be put in order as quickly as possible. The plants should be put out as early as is consistent with their proper growth, the fountain should be started, and arrangements sheuld be made for promenade coacerts. This work should not be allowed to drag. As early a start as possible should be made. To be sure it is a little early tofput out the plants and flowers, but the other work can be attended to. That fence, which has been an eyesore for years past, requires te be made as presentable as possible in the event of a new one not being forthcoming, and some other details will have to be at- tended to. Lot the good work bo kept up.

—S m:two hundred women represent- ing the Women’s Enfranchisement Associa- tion and subsidiary organizations in sympathy with the movement for woman suffrage waited upon Premier Mowat, of Ontario, a few evenings ago, and presented @ petition asking that ‘maturity and intelligence be the qualifications for wo- man’s suffrage.” The petition sets forth the usual arguments for the rights of women and concludes with tbe following requesta: (1) Give married women the right to vote on the same conditions on which widows and spinsters are at present allowed to vote at municipal elections; (2 Extend Parliamentary franchisement to the women on the same condition as men. Sir Oliver's reply was to the effect that public opinion was not sufficiently advanced for the making of such sweeping concessions as the deputation demanded.

—The arrangements of the Beitish auth- orities for the slaughter and examination of Canadian live stock, pending the deci- sioa a8 to whether the scheduling order will stand or not, are very complete. The cattle are to be landed at specified wharves and are to be specially marked. They are to be kiiled in special slaaghter houses, and no other carcases or parts of carcases are to be allowed in contact with them till the exaniination ig concluded. If effec- tually carried out, these rules should pre- vent any such mistake as that by which an Irish beast getting into a herd of Cana- dians, as is alleged, brought about the scheduling order of last fall. The Montreal Gazette points out that if Canada is as free from pleuro pneomonia and like contagious disease as there is reason to believe she is, and if the veterinary inspectors do their duty right, it will be reasonable to look for an early restoration of the old privileges in British markets.

—The case of Morris vs. the City of Montreal an action to recover damages for injuries sustained by falling on the side- walk, came up before Judge Davidson at that place a few days ago. It appears that in coming out of the Hospice St. Charles, on Notre Dame street, Mrs. Morris fell and received severe injuries, and the action for damages was based on the slippery condition of the sidewalk. In distaissing the case the Court held that there was a doubt whether the fall took place on the steps or on the sidewalk, and the probability seemed to be that Mra. Morris caught the heel of her bovt on the side of the steps. Moreover, Mrs. Morris had no rubbers or overshoes; her boots were high-heeled, and in a clim- ate like that of Montreal it could not be exp cted that a sidewalk should be entirely unslippery and that every inch shoul] be covered with ashes’ Under the circum- stances of the case the Court thought no blame or negligence could be attached to the city.

A Few Facts About Chicage —Work on the Grounds-A Notab’e

(Special correspoi lence f Th I n.vvey )

It is siid that sbvu- sixty th usar

men and Weimen are just mow eng ged it putting the finihuy touches upon the World’s Expesition. Perhaps a few points concerning Chicago may be interesting while this wo k 1s ,oinmg on. The city wat wganiz d ouly fifty-six years ago. ls p p

345 it

ulation in 1337 was but 4,170. In ] is, in point of poy ulaticn, the sixth civy of

he world—only London, Paris, Now York, Berlin and Vicuna being ahead of it cocording to the ecnsus of 1891, its pepala

tion was 1,098 576, end the city directory of 1892 increased the number to 1,428,000 Included in this vast population are—of course—a number of Islanders, among whom I was glad to see yesterday Mr. — McLeod, Agent of the Bank of Nova Scotix, and Mr. Leslie McLeod. Editor of The Horseman, both « ccapyi the highest positions in their several spe cialtics. All classes and kinds of immigrants are continually coming in. Yesterday there arrived nine or ten carloads of Turks and Bedouin Arabs. The leopard may not be able to change its spots. But it is possibte that these wild men of the East will ere long be transformed into decent, law-abid ing and Christian American citizens !

When organized in 1837, the area of Chicago was but ten square miles; its area now is J81 square miles. One of its streets (Halstead Street) is twenty-four miles long Its street cars run for upwards of twenty miles in one direction, and passengers can ride in them from one end to the other for five cents. Within the limits of the town street railway tracks extend in different directions about four hundred miles, fur- nishing daily transport for upwards of three quarters of a million people. In 1891, there entered and cleared at Chicago no leas than 20,200 vessels. In the same year the value of the commerce of the city was set down at $1,459 000,000.

It has been remarked that Chicago is practically the terminal point of all the trunk lines of railway in North America. Over 90,000 miles of railway centre in the city at the present time, and its newspapers and periodicals number twenty four dailies and over five hundred weeklies, monthlies and quarterlies.

The phenomenal growth of Chicago is the more remarkable from the fact of the great fire of 1871. In that fire 18,000 buildings were destroyed, at an estimated loss of $190,000,000 One year later many of the best blocks were rebuilt. Five years later the city was larger and more prosperous than ever! Nothingin creation --since the Tower of Babel—has been erected to equal in point of height, some of the latter day buildings of Chicag». A few of the buildings are architectura'ly good, but as a whole, the city is not hands me. Consequent upon its rapid extension it is rough, rugged, uneven, and for the most part ugly. Chicago is not yet a ftiaished town. A-century or two mutt elapse ere its ambition to rival London is achieved. B it its success so tar ia unprecedented and wonderful, This is dae, in part, to its situation in the centre of the wheat zone. But it is due much more to the energy azd enterprise of its people. ‘These people stick together and stick at nothing in the promotion of their common interests.

An illustration of their methods cof operation is now being given upon (he grounds of the World’s Columbian Exposi- tiom, All that science and skill can do to forward the work rapidly is being done. Steam engines, horses and working men are employed by the thousand. Lawns are being made, the scds being brought in from the country by rail, distributed thoughout the grounds by means of teams, and liid down by hundreds of working men acting under the orders of competent inspec ors. A preparation‘of gravel and concrete is, a the sinetime, spread upon the wa'ks--a heavy st.am crusher fullows after—and, prest:, we see a beautiful green lewnantdasmeoh bard roadway where there was a litte earler only grey sticky mud Wh ou»! the walks and lawrs have been fia sed and the shrubs and flowers planted, the ere unds ard b keleis will con- trast veiy b.wutifuly with the colossal structures which meke up the White City.

Finishing touches are being put upon all the buildings. It was interesting yesterday tu watch operations on the roof of tke Mechanic Arts building, 236 feet abuve the ground, with the inevitable steam engine and block and tackle in attendance. St. Dunstan's cathedral with its tower and steeple might be placed inside this building and not attract much attention. Among ‘he most modest and unpretentious build- ings upon the grounds are those of Great Britain and Canada, While the enormous palaces of the United S:ates, Germany aod other nations are decked with hundreds of fl gs, oaly asiogle Union Jack is flying over the substantial brick edifice which is representative of the British Empire. But the fact that it flies alone makes the British emblem all the more an object for cbzerva- tiou and remark.

In the event of Lord Stanley's departure, before the arrival of the new Governor-General, Chief Justice Strong will probably be appointed administrator.

Orrawa, May &—The case for submis sion to the Supremo Cuurt in reference to the Manitoba School question has been drafted and submitted tu the government of Manitoba, aud the Roman Catholie min- ority for their views. ‘The Supreme Court is asked for an opinion on the question sug- gested by the sub committee of the Privy Council which considered the matter sev- eral weeks ago.

New York, May 8.—A despatch from Valparaiso says a desperate battle was fought on Saturday near Muoguana, in Rio Grande do Sul, Brezi!, in which 4,000 gov- ernment troops and 6,000 insurgents were engaged. Corflcting reports havs been sent out as to the resvlt of the battle, each side claiming victory.

Winnirec, May 8.—Ceo. Olis, general traflic manager of the Canadian Pacific, who has just left for the east, says there ae 2 034,300 bushels of wheat, 124,000 bushels of oats a4 22,590 bushels of barley stored in the iateris:, most of which will go for- ward in flour. There are 3,111,865 bushels of wheat at Fort William, an increase of a million #nd a half bushels over the quantity at the opening of navigation last year. Tie general manager believes the wheat crop in the western Statca wilt be short this year. Kansas, which generslly produces seventy million bushels, will not cut more than thirty millions this year.

New York, May 8.—The Herald’s cable from Paris says: **From authentic informa. tion it would appear the pope is preparing an encyclical to European governmente setting forth the inevitable crisis te which the crushing military charges condemn them. He will ask for a resolution on the question of disarmament, which may be the result of an agreement reached in his inter- view with the German emperor. The governments of Italy, Austria, Spain, Belguim and Russia are said to be already informed of the agreement referred to and are willing to accept it.”

Montreal, May 8.—General Manager of the Merchants’ Bank, Hague, who returned from New York to-day, told your corres- pondent that the Montreal boys who had dropped diiferentiy estimated sums during the last week, were not probably any poorer than a year ago. They had made gains in the past and their present losses equare them unless in the meantime they have gone into driving fast horses and keeping up expensive establishments.

Lonpon, May 8 —The Standard’s Berlin correspondent, says it is scarcely possible to take too gloomy a view of the situation. While not despairing of the national sense of the people, everybody must feel that the speeches and events of the last few days must menace the peace of Europe.

The Times’ correspondent says: ‘* The issue of this political contest is doubtful even in the view of the most acute and far- seeing cbserver. The prospect must be viewed with grave forebodings by all patri- otic Germans.”

The Daily News’ correspondents says the present crisis is far more military than political.

Moncton, May 8.—C (©. Carlyle, of Rich- '

that he had been engaged by the immigration department to go te Newfoundland for the purpose of diverting emigration from that col- oay to the Canadian Northwest. The miajor- ity of Newfoundlanders who leave that colony now go to the United States, and it is thought these people will make excellent settlers in our Northwest. Mr. Carlyle has recently been instrumental in sending a party of eleven settlers from the state of Maine to A|berta, and those people report themselves well pleas- ed with their new home. — FO tO OO
