Hotipay in THE Stores.—A whisper has reached us that there is a disposition on the part of some of our business men to keep their stores open on Saturday next. We hope this is not well founded, as the employes have, no doubt, worked well aeons the busy spring— many even sacrificing their usual holida (Good Friday) for their employers’ benefit. It is, we think, but right that they should be

iven a holiday as usual on the Queen's Birth-

ay. We understand a movement will be made to secure the co-operation of all the leading stores to this effect, and trust that it may be successful. [Since writing the above the advertisement in another columi has come to hand.

Nepotism appears to afflict President Har- rison. To date his record is: ‘* The appoint- ment of his brother to be a United States Marshal.

The dismissal of a man in the Pension Office at his father-in-law’s ‘‘ request.”

The Empire's special cable, dated Lon- don, May 15, says: Lord Sudely raised the question of the Esquimault defences in the House of Lords to-night. Lord Elphin- stone, on behalf of the Government, ad- mitted the importance of the subject, and gaid that last year’s agreement between the Imperial and Dominion Governments had been modified. The Dominion Govern- ment find it difficult and expensive to pro- vide a garrison; the Imperial Government has therefore decided to provide a Royal Marine Artillery garrison, under command of three officers, at the annual maintenance charge of £7,000 to the Dominion Govern- ment. The men and officers left for Esqui- mault three days ago, excepting the sub- marine miners who have not yet completed the drill. Armaments are now on the way. His Lordship could not say exactly when the fortifications would be completed Lord Sudely gave notice that he would re- new the question when enough time had elapsed for the

of defences. | povi0—~ly dy

Miss Maitel, a French Canadian artist, now sojourning in Paris, has fallen heir to $4,400,000 by the death of a friend in the mother country.

Asaclerk for Thos. May & Co. was about to deposit $3,300 to-day in the Bank of Montreal, some unknown rascal drew the boy’s attention in another directicn, while a probable accomplice snatched the money and cleared out.. No arrests have yet been made.

The Haytian Treaty.

New York, May 21.

Hayti cedes to the French the Island of Gooraives, also a site at St. Nicholas made for the establishment of a coal depot. French vessels will be exempt from light dues, tonnage and water duties. French goods will be 25 per cent. less duty than others, and French capitalists and contractors will have a preference over those of other nations’ enterprises of all kinds. In return for those advantages France will assist the Government to sup- press the rebellion and accord a subsidy of five and a half million franes with two war vessels of the first class arms and equip- ments.

The proposed additional service will incur a large expenditure, but as the ocean mails will hereafter be brought tothe Upper Provinces via the Short Line, the service is considered a most essential one.

The heavy cut inthe price of iron by one of the leading Pennsylvania companies, making the price the lowest since the panic of 1873, renders it apparent that the northern producers have no intention of being driven out of the market by their new southern rivals without a struggle. The reduction brings the price down to a point where there can be but a small margin of profit for the producers in any part of the coun- try. Nevertheless, the development otf the iron industry in Alabama goes on at a rapid pace. The daily output of iron from twenty furnaces in Birmingham is now 2,310 tons, and six new furnaces now under construction will raise it to 2,800 tons per day. The Pennsylvania companies have some powerful rivals to cope with.
