The Sto:e That Mother Likes. ae Sunnyside. DAILY EXAMINER (a flag over his building. fBE DAILY EXAWINER, CHARLOTIETOWR, (Special Cerreepoadence of Tux Examiner) Montreat, March 4th, 1900. We have had a ho: time in the old town of Montreal for the last few days, At 9.10 on Tharsday morning, news reached McG@ li that Lady:miih had been relieved, and at 9 20 twelve hundred students were in procession to celebrate. No row resu'ted till they had got down town and separated into two sections, One went to the City Hall where no fiag wae flying. Alderman jSadler attempted to explain from the stairs that no one would take the responsibility of putting it up as tae Mayor was absent, but that did not satiefy the fellows, A dozen gathered around him and ameng the officials with him and made a rush that carried the stairs. Soon a flag about three feet by two was waviog to the breeze from the flagpole on the highest cupola. After that they went to Laval in ex actly the same friendly spirit with which they had gone to the High Schoo} and the Mode! Schoo! and with which they after~ wards went to Bishop’s College, A couple of little flags were hoisied on the flag poles in the front without sny intention of doing harm. The Laval students were not there \o put them up themeelves, The other section of the crowd went to the French newspaper offices. They as~ eembled before La Patrie door and asked those in the building to put up a flag, which they did, being cheered to the echo. In the crush such a crowd naturally pro duced, a pane of glass in the door was broken and La Patrie’s bulletinboarde were : carried off as the Star’s and Herald’s had been before. At La Presse they had a small scrap about putting up a flag. A few McGill fellows got into the building, some say to help one or two of La Presse emp'oyes who were waving aflig. The police came up ard the students waited till al' their men were in the atreet again. Laval students toreup a Union Jack and hada emall scrap with the McGill fellows in tbe afternoon. A German away down by the riverside offzred to bet ten dollars that the atudents would not put Somebody told this, and adetachment went down and had afiag up in balf a minute. A _ emall crowd containing &@ few McGill fel- lows foolishly went to Laval at night to see if the British flag had been left up there. Some other McGill students and some citizens went with them as specta- tors. When they got to Laval they found fifty policemen cCrawn upin front of the college. Two fellows went to ask about the flag when, without any warning, six streams of water from fire hose were turned on the crowd, spectators and ail, This of course turned aj! the MoGill men agd some of the citizens present into fighters and there was acharge to capture the hose. One nozzle was tsken but could not be beld, so it was stuck in a window out of sight and left play away there. The po! ce fired four or fiye blank cartridges from revol- vers so the crowd saw it was time to re- treat. During the cbarge those behind threw lumps of so.w and emashed a good many windows. Oa Friday morning Princips! Peterson, of McGill,seat to Laval a declaration sign- ed by the presidents of the differeat years saying that the visit of Thursday morning had been of a friendly nature and regret ting any ill-feeling which might have ariceen therefrom. Friday afternoon it was known, almost for certain, that there was to be an anti- British demonstration in the evening probably against “cill,so the studente were requested grounds at seven ......, for the defenc: of the property. Overa thousand turned out. Thirty policemen were at the front entrance to represent the name of the law, and show that right was on McGill's side, admitting, however, that they could not hold the gate long against the two thous- and roughs who were paradiug down tcen. Every McGill man had a stick of some kind—in most cases a powerful club Each year was commanded by its presi- dent, each group of three or four years being under one man, while Howard was over the whole, A large detachment held the front gate, with smaller ones at the side gates, aod a mass of reserves On the hill in front of the Arts building. A number of Montreal citizens assembled south ot the grounds to help McGill if necessary. An elaborate system of scout~ ing all over the city kept the college in- formed by telephone and otherwise of the wovementsoftheenemy. It was 20 mere student outburst but a soberly planned defence with the college authorities at the head of it. The boys were requested by the Faculty not to go outside the grounds, but were were given full liberty to use any measures they saw fit tc defend the build- ings or repel invasion of the grounds. About twelve, after the crowd of roughe hed broken up, the studevts dispersed in emal! groups without shou‘ing, singing ordemonstration of any kind. Although they were not actually used to defend the University they had the eatisfaction of knowing that had they not been there Mc- Gill would certainly have bre. attscked. After tearing up and burning the British flagsin St. James’ Street several eiarte were n ade slorg St. Ca:herine for McGill, but too small a number of the mob were willing to face the students. Thie disturbance, or riot, as it really was, is not blamed by Mc ill oo Laval. The mob might of course have contained one or two hot-heads such a8 are present in every university but no representstive body of Laval students took part. On Saturday night the McGill authori- ties thought it better not to make any ap- pearance of coptinuing the demonstra’ion so the students were not called to the Uni- ver-ity- Scouts wire sent out, however, and arrangements made to assemble at very short notice. At present almoet everybody in Montreal! ig talking oabout the troubl2 and the | Layton and McLeod, and Messrs Rameay i» come to the” college | MARCH 7, «900 words “McG.ll” and “Laval” are heard constantly on the streety,—the remarks ot Knglish-epeaki: g people being almest all favorable te McGill. Great numbers of ladies and gentlemen wear emal! British fiags. The fact that Friday night showed that the flag was liable to be tora down #ppears to have increased the num ber of them displayed about the city. They are havgi. gout of windows, stuck out of doure, lied (tO gate peste, and in every imaginable position. The conduct of the police throughout the matter has been questionable, While making absolutely ne arrests frem crowds parading the streets and tearing up Bri- tish flags, they captured ten young men — no studente— whose only offence was sing- ing “God Save the Queen” and “Role Britannia” at the. eorner of S:. Catherine aud &t. Lawrence streets. Two McGill fellows peaceably going home on Thursday night, far from the scene of the disturbance were set upon. A police- man sticking head downward in the snow was leit to mark the scene of the victory. If the occurences of the pest few vays have done a good deal of harm they they have done, too, one great good, Inter-faculty and _ inter-elass contests and scraps had made faculty and class epirit take too strong a_ bold of the students, greatly tothe detriment of college spirit. During tae last few days, however all was forgotten. Since the relief of Ladysmith there has been heard hardly | a class or faculty yell. It has always been the shouting of M~c gi-!-l or the | singing of that old stand-by “Oh McGill } Alma Mater McGi!l” mingled with euch songs as “God Save the Queen” or “Rule Britannia.” Tue Presbytery.—At a meeting of the Presbytery held in Charlottetown yesterday a commission was appointed to investigate certain alleged troubles at Summerfield, the commpssion to consist of Revs. Fisher, Whidden, Campbell, aod Brown.
