Mr. Tilley’s Loan.

A sreciAL dispatch to the Toronto Globe, dated Dec. 3rd, states that Mr. Tilley bad that day, through Messrs. Baring Bros., and Glyn, Mills & Co., placed the new Canadian loan on the London market. “It is a loan of £3,000,000 stg., bearing 4 per cent. interest, and redeemable in 1913. One half of the bonds are to bear the guar- antee of the Imperial Government, and the other half is to be provided for by a sinking fand of not less than § per cent. per an- num. Tenderers must bid one price for both stocks united, and no offers which do not do so, will be received. The minimum price of the issue is 96} per cent., or six per cent. better than the amount realized by Mr. Cartwright two years ago. A little

more than one-half of the loan will be em-

ployed in redeeming Csnadian six per

D ina Kx AMINER The Marquis and the Princess.

We are glad, says the Ottawa Herald, for many reasons, that the change of Roya: representatives has brought about tlie ap pointment of the Marquis of Lorne, because there is always a certain amount of satisfac ion in having a gentleman as Chief Magis trate of the Dominion. His high eultur ind experience among the best social an politicai intellects of the time cannot bu reflect to good purpose on ail who come into contact with him, while the Princess. ve all feel sure, will set an example to thr women of Canada which will vastly aid in the cultivation of gentleness and pure man- uers. We value these things because they contain a tangible merit in our eyes, but we do not fall down in an ecstacy of -loyal de- votion, nor are we inclined to join the tuft hunting pack who are already in full ery at the heels of the Marquis and Her Royal Highness.

Iron Making in Toronto.

The city of Toronto is moving in the mat- ter of getting iron manufactories established. A mass meeting of citizens was called on Tuesday evening for the purpose of consid- ering the matter and taking inte considera-

falling due in January |tion what encouragement should be offered ret rr ite half . eth: he a \by the city towards thisend. A Mr. Wrig- next ; i

ployed in the construction of public works in the Dominion. The London press, in announcing the loan, generally speak favorably of it. ‘‘ The Times,” says the Globe telegram, ‘‘in its editorial says that, owing to the redemption of six per cents., and the saving in interest charges effected thereby, the annual increase made by the loan, inthe burdens of the Dominion, is calculated to be but £27,000.” It further says that “‘ a satisfactory loan will no doubt bo made.”

The Halifax Herald says that comparing this loan with Mr. Cartwright’s loan of two years ago,and supposing Mr. Tilley to succeed in obtaining the money on the terms proposed (of which we entertain but small doubt), the gain will be enormous. Mr. Cartwright placed the same kind of bonds on the market at 91 per cent., allowing the money to be paid in instalments running over six months, by which he lost 3-8ths per cent. in interest, which reduced the results to 89 5-8. The difference between this and 96 1-20n the £3,000,000, is about $870,000, a pretty handsome figure times now go.

The Provincial Secretary and Treasurer.

ee

WE note that Mr. Dodd invariably writes *€ Provincial Secretary and Treasurer ” after his name. This must be in obedience toa vulgar craving for great swelling titles; for the law says Mr. Dodd ‘‘ may be termed ‘Provincial Secretary’ and ‘ Provincial Treasurer,’ according as reference is made to either branch of his department!” We have heard the Attorney General say that, in law, ‘‘ may” in certain cases means ** shall.” If this is the meaning of may in the section quoted, Mr. Dodd is violating the law.

The Address Nuisance.

Tue Governor General and his wife sub-

mitted very gracefully to the shower of ad-

dresses with which they were greeted. But it is expedient that in future the nuis- ance be abated. The Toronto Mail

suggests that if associations must exhibit} P

their loyalty in some form, let them have representatives at the presentation of an ad- dress from a city or town council, and let the signature of their respective presidents follow that of the chief officer of the muni-

Turkey.

The Ministry has boen dismissed, and the following new Ministers have been ap- pointed :—

Grand Vizier, Kheireddin Pasha; Shiekui Islam Ahmet Assad Effendi, Minister of War; Ghazi Osman Pasha, Minister of For- eign Affairs; Karatheodari Pasha, Minister of the Interior; Kadri Pasha, Minister of Justice; Said Pasha, Minister of Commerce; Djevdet Pasha, Minister of Public Works; Sawas Pasha-Phoetiades, who has been raised to the rank of Pasha, will succeed Karatheodari Pasha as Governor of Crete? Reouf Pasha has been dismissed from the

ost of grand master of artillery. Said Pasha will also act as Minister of the In- terior, and Sawas Pasha as Minister of For- eign Affairs, until Kadri Pasha and Kara- theodari Pasha arrive from Bagdad and Crete. An Imperial decree recommends the new Ministers to strive to carry out the projected reforms, and to repair the evils of thelate war. The decree also announces that projected reforms will shortly be promu!- gated.

Lorpv Braconsrirgtp, according to Me Blake, the Liberal member for Leominster, is ‘* the greatest troubler of England and Europe. He has ‘‘ abusedthe prerogative of the Crown, ignored Parliament, favoured despotism, re- strained liberty, broken European law by se- cret treaties, duplicity and double dealing, sa- crificed the national honour, deceived Turkey, befrayed Greece, insulted friendly powers, stimulated the war feeling, squandered the revenue, increased taxation, depressed trade, upheld ecclesiastical intolerance, and opposed

popular reforms.” With sucha load of sin on his bazk, and seventy-three years in the bargain, the ashy pale hue of his Lordship’s countenance, which the correspordents talk so glibly aout is amply accounted for,

gle, representing a large English iron com- pany who desired to transfer their business from England to Canada if suflicient en- couragement were offered, addressed the )meeting. He asked that the city exempt his company from taxation for ten years, and also grant them a piece of marsh land at a nominal rent, for a site for buildings. After a discussion, which was taken part in by Hon. Mr. Robinson and others, and the principle enunciated that it was necessary to follow up the verdict given by the people at the polls, the following resolution was moved and carried, and a committee after- wards appointed to wait on the City Coun- cil in the matter :—

** Resolved— That, in the opinion of this meeting, the establishment and construc- tion of iron works in the city of Toronto would greatly tend to the advancement and prosperity of this city, if the corporation would leasefto a responsible company twenty aeres of the marsh land lying on the south side of the river Don at a nominal rent for the first twenty-one years, and to exempt the said iron works company from taxation for the first ten years.”’

A member of the City Council, present, stated his intention of going with the spirit of the resolution; and in all probability the movement for the establishment of iron works in Toronto will be successful.

The Latest Fish Story.

A WHALE TOWING FOUR FISHERWEN’S WITH ASTONISHING RAPIDITY. Lona Braancu, R. I., Dec. 1.—In the past three months whales have often been seen spouting off our coast, and the scarcity of small fish has been attributed to their presence. On Friday last three large ones were seen three or four miles out. On Saturday morning Capt. Wise, of the Ameri- can Hotel, Samuel McLean, Daniel Wright, and Martin Dangler—the three latter old fishermen—started out fishing in a boat about twenty feet long. They had arrived on the fishing grounds about three miles from the shore, had all their lines out, and were having splendid luck hauling in cod- fish. Then Wright saw the fin of a mons- trous fish, and immediately the bout began to swing around. Wright shented to the men in another boat, about 100 yards dis tant, ‘‘Look out, there isa whale hold of us,” but before the men could move from their seats they were being towed out to sea at the rate of 25 miles an_ hour. The monster had become entangled in the long ancher rope of the boat. The ull on the boat was so strong the men thought the boat must go over every second. The men say they were very much fright- ened, and the sensation was the queerest they had ever known. Ali they could do was to hold on and let her go for a few min- utes. Then they crept forward and cut the rope. They were a mile further out to sea. The fish kept right on, and they could see the wake he made for some distance, as he kept very near the surface. The rope was a stout half-inch manilla one, and attached to it was an anchor of about twenty pounds weight. The fishermen here think the monster was after the codfish, and that he came up to the anchor line with his mouth open and got the rope in his mouth. As soon as he felt it he closed his mouth and swam off, towing the boat after him so fast that the codfish lines that were hang- ing over the boat pulled straight out on the surface, and the heavy sinkers, weighing a pound or mors apiece, were on the top of the water.

How we Die.

A statistician in England, in studying a generation of a million of people from birth to death, finds that one-fourth of them die before they reach five years; less than one- twenty-eighth between flve and ten years; in the next five years the mortality is lower

than at any period; in the next five years .an increase, especially among women—the ‘influence of dangerous occupations begins to be seen in the death rate. Eight times a3 many men as women die violent deaths.

ImportANT To SEAMEN.—A new regulation has just come into force in the Dominion of Canada, whereby candidates for masters’ certi- ficates of competency are required to have previously held mates’ certificates for a period of at least one year.

ears at sea, of which one year must haye

een as first or ouly mate with a certificate, and one year as second mate, or he must have .been six years and a half at sea, of which two land a half years must have been as second 'mate, during the last twelve months of which jhe must have beenJin possession of a first mate’s certificate.”

T’o the Editor of the Examiner.

DEAR Sur,—You will oblige me very much by inserting this in your most valuable jour- val, On Saturday last, as 1 was taking a stroll uear the Railroad track, I noticed quite a aumber of riflemen out on the Kensington range; andin going out I learnt that they were firing a challenge match between the Engineeis, under command of Capt. Dogherty, vad the Dundas Company of Southport, under command of Capt. McRae. The shooting on both sides was very fair. In the Engineers, that of Capt, Dogherty was very good; also Mr. E. MeDougall and W. Davison’s was very fair. In the Dundas Company, that of Capt. Mefae was very good, more especially at 500 yards, he making three bulls eyes in succes- sion. Jas. Mutch made the best all told at 200 yards-—he made 22 points out of 25. Master H. Beers’ shooting was very creditable to him, especially at 400 yards, where he made 20 points out of 25.
