THE DAILY EXAMINER. . a FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1898. THE DAILY EXAMINER. | ——/|¥ ESTERDAYS AFTERNOON SESSION — THE ESTIMATES FOR THE YEAR — THE RATES OF MAY 19, 1893. | | Notes and Comments. —At the Canadian pavilion in Chicago a register is to be kept, in which Canadians may sign their mames and place of residence fn Chicago, and how long they intend to stay, for the information of friends. Count Mercier refers in his latest ‘* ad- dress” tothe ‘‘absence of character in our blic men.” The Empire thinks in the oats ease it is not an absence of char- acter that isso deplorable, but the presence of a very positive character. —The New York Board of Health re- cently invited the public to reporc to it all nuisances detrimental to health, with a view of having them suppressed. There- upon a coterie of prohivitionists drew the board’s attention to the ten thousand saloons within the city limits ! —The value of the mineral production of Canada, in 1892, according to a bulletin lately issued by the Geological survey, which is, however, subject to correction, was $19,500,000, or just a million dollars less than ia shown by the revised returns of 1891. In 1890 the value was $19,000,000; in 1889 it was $14,500,000; in 1888, $13,- 600,000; in 1887, $12,250,000, and in 1886 it was $12,000,000. —Great Britain continues to maintain her proud title of Mistress of the Seas. H. M. 8. Blake entirely eclipsed American as well as other warships st New York the other duy, and now the British steamer Campania bas beaten the newly purchased American liner—which was to whip all creation--by crossing the Atlantic in 5 days, 17 hours and 42 minutes, as opposed to the New York's best record of 5 days, 19 hours and 67 minutes. —Montreal Gazette : The importance of selecting delegates to the party convention at Ottawa is being urged en Liberal asso- ciations with such iteration that it looks as if there was a fear the muster would not be up to expectations. Perhaps the locality selected for the gathering has something to do with the apparent backwardness of the rank and file. There really can e little to inspirit the common soldiers in the shadow of the Parliament buildings where as often almost as their leaders have open- ed their mouths they have been defeated. --A German news agency asserts on semi-official authority that the reinforce- ment of the French troops stationed on the eastern frontier of France is proceeding with method snd regularity. The French Gov- ernment, according to the same authority, is likewise extending and strengthening the military lines adjoining the German frontier and planning with a view to prompt and effective concentration. The barracks of the entrenched camp at Verdun have been atly enlarged, and at Epinal two new rracks have been built and an addition made to the garrison. On the same semi- official authority it is stated that men are at work night and day laying a double line of rails on the line of the Paris and Nancy railroad, between Blesme and Revigny, in order to hasten the mubilization of the French troops. The Frankfort Zeitung, commenting upon the foregoing statement and on other semi-official news despatches of similar character, states that reports of the kind are obviously intended to influence the electors in the coming elections for the Reichstag in favor of candidates who sup- port the army bill. ~ Personal. Mr, William C. Kennedy, the well-known insuraace agent, left this morning o- a busi- ness trip to Nova Scotia. Mr. Fred. G. Harvie left tor Halifax this morning to take a position in the wholesale drug house of Brown & Webb. Mr. Charles A.

Island, received the degree of M. A., and read the valedictory from the Art students, 1893. Mr. A. J. Gillis, of Montague Head, was in the city yesterday on his way to Montana, where he intends to make his future home. Mr. Gillis has only recently returned to his Island heme from Australia, where he went from Montana last September. He says Mon- tana is a “good enough country for him.” Professor Robertson, Dominion Dairy Com- missioner, lectured at Cornwall yesterday afternoon and at Crapaud in the evening. To-day he lectures at Dunk River and Ken- aington. He will leave the Island on Satur- day morning.

Mrs. Scantlebury gave an excellert paper on ‘*Individual Responsibility.” Mrs. Archibald spoke on behalf of the sailors, urging the union to open life saving statiens in every Island port She slso gave some information and suggestions sbout temperance text books and sppealed tis white ribboaers to se that the law en our statuty book on this subject is enforcad. She likewise advised the convention to agi tate for the privilege of being members o school boards.

The tollowing is a list of papers that are forbidden carriage by our mails: The American Fireside and Farm, The American Homestead, American Household Journal, The American Cottage Home, all published at Jeraey City, N.

Greetings were als» received from Mrs. J. ©, Clarke, Vice-President of Bayview Auxiliary, W. M. S. of the Baptiet Church. Moved by Mrs. Poole and seconded by Mrs. Strong, that the district convention be held yearly. Carried. An invitation to hold the next cenven- tion in Summerside was accepted. After singing and prayer the Convention adjourned. In the evening a public temperance meeting was held in the Baptist Church. Mrs. Johnson presided, and an excellent choir furnished by the *‘ Ys” supplied good music on the occasion After the opening hymn was sung, prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Sutherland and Rev. Mr. Brewer read the scriptures. Rey. J. A. Gordon was the first speaker. He welcomed the delegates to the church and the city, and dealt at considerable length with the good work in the temper- ance cause that is being done by, women all over the world. Miss Bessie Gregor then read an excellent paper dealing with the liquor traflic. Mrs. Archibald, President of the Mari- time W. C. T. U., on coming forward was well received. She explained the origin and extent of the Women’s Christian Tem- perance Union, and said the members of that body felt that they had God with them in their work. She dealt at some length with the temperance question and the ques- tion of woman suffrage, and pointed to the steps that were being taken for the better and more effective enforcernent of the Scott Act in Cow Bay and othur sections of Nova Scotia.

Frank Beer and Lewis G. Whear. Miss Helen Mitchell followed with a splendid reading which was followed by a collection and benediction by Rev. Mr. Hamlyn. The Slate Case. THis morning at Chambers His Lordship Mr. Justice Hodgson read a lengthy decision in this case, discharging Slate from imprisonment on the charge of drunken- ness upon which he has been in jail since he gave his evidence in the Larter case. We have not the space to publish in full the reasons of His Lordship for the conclu- sion he arrived at, but we understand that he holds, — 1. That although Slate was a witness in a case, and, consequently, privileged from arrest on a civil process, yet the charge of drunkenness is in the nature of a criminal preceeding, and, therefore, the privilege did not attach. 2. His Lordship does not decide the question raised before him by Mr. Stewart that the by-law relating to drunkenness only applies to persons actually found drunk by the police. 3. Upor the contention that Slate was never legally charged with the offence of drunkenness, and that no summons vas issued calling on him to answer the charge, ora warrant issued against him upon a sworn inf rmatiou, His Lx rdship sustains the contention, and on this ground held that the remand to jail without these pre- requisites was illegal and without jurisdic- tion in the Magistrate. In commenting on the aftidavit of the clerk of the Magistrate show- ing Slate’s unfortunate record as a drunk, His Lordship said it was a painful one, but that he knew of no law which made any distinction between a poor unfortunate man and one more fortunate. The law treated the rich and poor, the high and low, alike, and there was no law which permitted any court to put a man to jail without a proper charge against him, and te keep remanding him frem time to time without even bringing him up for trial when he might prove his innocence or ad- mit his guilt. His Lordship said he must administer the law in Slate’s case in the same manner asif he was not the unfor- tunate man he is. He must discharge him, but on condition that he would not bring any action for false imprisonment against the jailer. -—_a_— Potice Court.—This forenoon, two young men named Arthur Cummings and Daniel Chipman, were each ; fined $2 or 8 days for being drunk, disorderly and fighting on the streets on the 13th inst. A charge of cbstructing the sidewalk preferred against « merchant by the City Marshal, was adjourned until Monday. | City Council. ASSESSMENT.

Coun- cillor Hooper seconded the motion. Councillor Crabbe moved in amendment that the estimates be taken up item by item. Councillor Beer seconded the motion. The amendment carried on the casting vote of the Mayor and the following divi- sion : Ayes— Crabbe, Hogan, McKay, Beer—4. Nays—Taylor, Robertson, Hooper and Hughes—4. Councillor Hughes moved that the sum of $4,500 in the estimates for the mainten- ance of streets’ be struck out and $2,500 substituted therefor. Councillor Taylor seconded the motion. Councillor Hughes, in support of his motion, said that he thought it would be Setter to expend more money in macada- mizing the streets and less in hauling clay from one place to another. Councillor Beer said that $6,042 had been spent last year for the maintenance of streets, and he thought the $4,500 in the estimates would be little enough for this year. Councillor Hughes’ motion was lost on the casting vote of the Mayor, and the fol- lowing division : Ayes—Hughes, Hooper, Robertson and Sink Nays—Crabbe, Hogan, McKay, Beer—4, Councillor Hogan moved that the sum of $100 in the estimates for the Provincial Rifle Association be struck out. The motion, was not seconded. The bylaws levying and specifying the rate of assessment on real estate and per- sonal property were then submitted by Councillor Crabbe, and raad a first and second time. The rate of assessment on real estate and personal property was fixed at one per cent. A discount of 24 per cent. will be allowed all persons who pay their taxes before the 15th July. When the motion fixing the rate of assessment was before the Board,Councillor Hughes arose and was about tou move that the rate be reduced one eighth but before he made the motion the clause was reported agreed to, The Council then adjourned until Friday morning at ten o’clock, when they will meet for the purpose of reading the bylaws a third time and passing them, The adjourned meeting of Council was held this forenoon at ten o’clock. Coun- cillors Taylor and Hooper were the only absentees. On mocion cf Councillor Crabbe, second: ed by Councillor Hogan, the by-laws levying and specifying the rate of asseas- ment on real estate and personal property, and the by-law allowing a rate of discount, were read a third time and : Couacillor Crabbe moved that the by-laws be published in Taz Examiner and Patriot for two weeks.

Srxorat Desparcnes To THe ExaMIneR A GREAT SUCCESS. The Banquet Given to the Finance Minister. One Hundred aud Forty Guests in Attendance, Hon. Mr. Foster Makes an Able Speech. St. Jou», May 19. The banquet given to Hom. George E. Foster, Minister of Finance, last night was by far the most successful event of the kind ever witnessed here by the present generation. One hundred and forty guests sat down to dinner. W.H. Thorne, Beq., presided, with the guest of the evening at his right and Hon. McKenzie Bowell on his left. The others who sat at the head of the table were Hon. Mr. Angers and Mr. Daly of the Dominion Government, Senator Boyd, Mayor Peters, Hon. Donald Ferguson, ex-Provincial Secretary-Treasur- er of P. E. Island, Messre. McLeod, Hazen, Chesley, Woodburne, Temple and Wilmot, M. Ps., and Alward, Stockton, Smith, Shaw and Powell of the Provincial Legis- lature. After dinner the usual loyal toats were proposed from the chair. In the course of his speech Hon. Mr. Foster made a pleasant reference to Dalton McCarthy, who having undertaken to smash the Government, yet devoted a great part of his speech to the complaint that he is subjected to the same criticism and attack as he (Foster) and all other aggressive public men have had to endure. Discussing the present tariff enquiry Hon. Mr. Foster declared that McCarthy and others desired to remodel the tariff in a few minutes by the clock, but for his part he had made up his mind never to undertake the work of tariff reform during a session. He preferred to take up such a task when there was more leisure and when there was an opportunity to investigate the conditions and requirements of every interest on the point where it was located. In the course of the plea for toleration made by Hon. Mr. Foster, an interesting scene could ‘have been observed for an English audience cheering the declaration of Hon. Mr. Foster, that he thought the English and Protestant was willing to give to his French-speaking fellow subjects not only all the privileges he claimed for himself, but to go a little further and give all possible consideration to the sensitive- ness of the race that happened to be the smallest and weakest. Hon. Mr. Foster spoke over an hour and made a speech which was one of the finest ever heard here even from him. Woman Killed.
