THE LONDONDERRY STEEL WORKS. MonrreaL, June 9.

The Gazette, in an editorial says: ‘‘ The announcement of the intended suspension of work by the Londonderry Steel Co. will, We are glad to believe, prove premature, if the causes of that decision are not other than those publicly attributed. It will be remembered that the Company stated their disability to continue operations te be dne not to the Nationai Policy, not to any in- crease in the cost ef coal or cost of produc- tien, but to high rates of freight from the place of mannfacture to the Quebec and Ontario markets. There had, however, been no increase of rates on the Inter colonial Railway, and if such had occurred, it must have been-on the Grand Trunk section, although we are inclined to think it was rather a reduction in through rates fiom Liverpool te Montreal and Toronto, than an increase in the rates from Londen-

rderry to these points, which placed the

Steel Company in a less favorable position as regards freight rates than they occu-

pied a year ago. However, we are glad to be able to announce that:

the Government has determined, in view of the importance of this indus

try, to apply ceal rates to the transport of pigand bar iron from Londonderry to Riviere du Loup, and have also made very favorable coal rates. Of the importance of the Steel Company’s Works there is no manner of doubt. Not only are several hundred men employed in connection with them, but in the conduct of the industry very many thousand tons of coal are an- nually consumed, and more than one hun- dred thousand dollars is annually paid to the Intercolonial Railway for transportation charges. The desirability of continuing this enterprise the Government have fully appreciated in the action taken by them. They have granted a protective duty of two dollars a ton on imported iron and have now removed all complaints as to freight rates, Everything that a.Government can do to foster an industry has been done, and if in the face of the advantages afforded the Company they are obliged to suspend oper- ations, the reason will have to be sought in some other cause than that of insuffieient ennorengaetent on. the part of the Govern- ment. We trust, however, that such will not be the case, but that on the contrary we will be able to announce in a day or two the decision of the Company to continue their important industry.

On Saturday about 75 laboring men waited upon his Worship the Mayor at the City Hall in relation to employment or getting assistance so as they could go where work is to be had. The issuing of Corpora- tion passes was recently abolished and it has now been resolved to send some fifty men up to work on the Canada Pacific, ar- rangements having been made by his Wor- ship with the centractor whereby the ten dollars a head for transport will be refunded at an early day. So ‘soon as the $500 re- fund is made, another gang of 50 men will be assisted to these public works.

Monrreat, June 9

A despatch from New York to the Wit- ness says: ‘‘Itis not likely that the 69th Regiment will ge to Montreal. Many mem- bers decline. Capt. Matthew P. Breen, an influential officer, writes this a. m. to the Sun denouncing the proposed trip., After

touching on the leyalty of Irish Canadians, he asks, ‘What will the boys of the 69th do on the occasion ef the Dominion Day Ban-

quet? Should they refuse to drink the

Queen’s health, they would be offering a gratuiteus insult to the hospitabie hosts. Should they rise and te a man swallow the. dose, the Irish people will stand achast at | so marked a recantation of principles—the! main spring and life of their organization. He- refers to lreland’s troubles in terms! sy with hate to England, and concludes | thus :—

| ‘Whenever Irish military organization | shall step with the confines of England's | Dominion let it be not in an attitude fof! deferential loyalty, but with the high and | holy purpose of raising the standard of | freedom and tearing down the emblem of | tyranny, so that the colors of our regi- | mental plume may not be reversed, and that still the green may wave above the red.’

‘‘Breen’s sentiments are endorsed hy many Irish Americans that | have seen.” There is a feeling here, even among Irish Catholics, that J. B. McNamee, President of St. Patrick’s . Seviety, has dove an im- prudent thing in inviting the 69th. He sent the invitation entirely on his own res- ponsibility. His Grace the Dake of Argyll, with Lady Mary and: Lady Elizabeth Campbell, visited the Geological Survey and McGill Univer- sity this forenoon, and this afternoon took a drive around the mountain. They will proceed to Quebec to-night. GALVESTON, June 9.

The ews Eagle Pass special says early yesterday morning a company of Mexican infantry at Piedras Negras mutinied and fought their way through the guard at the gate. About 15 crossed to this side under a heavy fire from the loyal troops, who continued firing after the deserters landed, many balls striking the houses of this place. The fugitives surrendered their arms to the citizens to to be returned to Mexico. A number of the mutineers were killed on the Mexican side. The cause of the deser- tion is that the troops were six months with- out pay andhad nothing to eat. Yesterday evening the Mexican troops marched out- side the city with two captured mutineers whom they were’ going to shoot, but a strong protest from citizens caused the ex- ecution to be abandoned.

Cuicago, June 9.

The robbers who seized from an Illinois Central Railroad messenger $10,000 on Saturday afternoon were captured yesterday and a portion of the money recovered.

’ VERSAILLES, June 9. The Deputies this afternoon authorized the prosecution by the Government of Paul De Cassagnac, after a scene of great excitement, during which Gambetta moved the expulsion of Cassagnac from the House, but afterward withdrew the motion, Cassag- nac having withdrawn the word ‘ cowardice’ which he had applied to the conduct of the Government. Havana, June 9. The Spanish bank yesterday publicly burned $1,053,363. paper currency of its own emission. Rome, June 9. The Pope has appointed Cardinal Her- genroltzer Keeper of the Archives of the Holy See. Berun, June 9. The North German Gazette publishes the text of Germany’s protest against the de- cree of the Khedive of April 22nd.

Marriage of Prince Leopold.

An official announcement, writes a Lon- don correspondent, will probably soon be made of an intention of marriage on the part of Prince Leopold and the Princess Marie of Hanover, daughter of the late ex- King of Hanover, and sister of the Duke of Cumberland. The report has just become known in the inner Court circle, and is accepted as correct. This alliance is under- stoud to have an important bearing on the relations of the deposed Royal family of Hanover with the German Court, and to have engaged the friendly attention of the Empress of Germany during her late visit to the Queen. Prince Leopold, who is now 26 years of age; is three years younger than his destined bride. The Princess Marie—should the Duke of Cumberland arrange the existing dispute with the Prussian Government—wiil brimg a fair dowry with her. She brings at least a wealth of names, having been baptized Marie Ernestine Josephine Adolphine Henrietta Therese Elizabeth Alexandra. The Princess Marie adheres of course to the religious profession of the house of Hanover, the, Protestant Lutheran.

AROMATIC MONTSERRAT QUININE CORDIAL

which is a combination of Pure Quinine, with Lime Fruit Juice, cordialised by the addition of Aromatics, but

ENTIRELY FREE FROM ALCOHOL.

Upon the medicinal virtues of Lime Juice and Quinine it is unnecessary to dilate. The combination of two agents of such universally acknowledged value, in at once a palatable and innocuous form, has been a disideratum long sought, but only nowsuccessfully accomplished; for although the 7'onic qualities of Quinine have been popularised in the form of QUININE WINES, it is well known these combinations have been attended with serious evils conse- quent upon the Alcoholic Stimulants they all contain, at once prejudicial to health and de- moralising in their tendency,

Aromatic Montserrat Quinine Cordial is guar- anteed to contain one grain of Quinine in each wineglassful, and to be entirely free from al- cohol, being prepared solely from the Mont- serrat Lime Fruit Juice combined with Aro- matics,
