CONSTERNATION AMONG GOYERN- MENT SUPPORTERS, Some Ministerialists Withhold Support From the Yokon Deal. Orrawa, Feb. 14.—Some consternation has followedthe report of the Fry Coms« mittee in the United States Senate. ‘This hili provides new and awkward conditions about the tranehipment of goods from one Britieh veesel to another as, United States, ports. Now, all the geods shipped by fthe proposed Stickeen railway must be tran- shipped at Wrangel, a United States port atthe mouth of the Stickeen riyer, from oceau craft to river steamers. The effect of the regulation will probably that goods for the Yukon shipped by this route would have togoto Fort Wrangel in United States ships or eise pay duty to the United States. The proposition is creating a ¢mal] paoic among the Government supporters, which has been increased by the course of the Montreal Witnese,— which Grit journal, after swallowing the contract in the first place, is now finding a good deal of fault with it, and especially with the provisions which it says were withheld from the first explanations of the contract. A report was in circulation yesterday that over twenty ministerial members of tbe House of Commons still refuse their assent to the measure At present it wou'd not be safe to count on their opposition because they muy be whipped into line. But they are showing consider- able powers of resis ance. —_————i> > © << ——— The Canadian Pacific Railway has sent & representative to St.John, N.B,to engage 1,500 laborers to proceed to British Columbia to work on the construction of the Crows Nest Pass Railway.

The first session was opened with devo- tional exercises at 1.30 p. m., the Presi-~ deat, Rev. Johu Goldemith, bemg in the chair. In the unavoidabie absence of the Sec-Trea. Rev. A. D. McDonald, Mr. Arch. Murray was appointed See, protem. A paper was then read by Misa T, McNeill, aS.S. teacher of twenty~seven years experieuce. This paper dealt with the S.S.teacber’s qualifications for his work. (1) He should be a decided Christian; (2) sbonld be faithfal in pre. paration for teachiag and in the discharge of every duly pertaining to the work of the teacher. (3) Tbe importance of, in some way or other securing the co~opera tion of the parents, A_ very profitable discussion followed in which Reys. J. K. Freser, A. E. Chipman,McLean and Gold- smith and Messrs. Richey, Wells and others took pari. The next paper was given by Rev. Mr. McLean on class work,in which he strong-~ lv condemned the use of “ Leeson Helps” on the part of either teacher or scholar, comparing the asking and answering of questions with the aid of such helps to the work that might be done by @ class in arithmetic ina day school every member of which should be provided with s key to the arithmetic in order to make the work easy. How long he asked would anything of the kmd be toierated by amy day schoo! teacher? This paper was discussed at length by members of the convention all agreeing that it was eminently practical aud helpful. After the singing of a hymn, Rev. John Goldsmith, gave a brief address on the importance of better training for the teach ers already in the work and especially for the teachers of the future, all of whom should be going through a course of train- ing to fit them for the responsible duties eo soon todevolve upon them. After some discussion arrangments were made looking towards the organization of a central teacherstraining class as well as for thé evrolment of individual students, Dr. Hurlbut’s revised normal les-ons for S. S. teachers to be the text book in al! caves, Convention 2¢j.urned at 445 p. m. Was by which time @ very lary large congreya- tion had assembled. After devotiousal ex- ercises and reading of minutes, the presi- dent called upon Rev. A. D. McDonald to deliver an address of welcome in the course of which Mr. McDonald emphasized the jm portance of making the S. S. Associa- tion work aa efficient as possible. A very spirited reply was given by Bev. Mr. Me- Lean in wh ch he urged theS. S. workers present to act out in their respective schools the suggestions offered in the con- ven:ion. The Rev. A. E. Chapman fol_ lowed in an address upon the “essentials of success in 8, 8S. work” showing how, even without any of the modern appliances, but with simply the bible as the text book and the interested pupils before him,the earnest well-prepared lecturer might accomplish a grand work for God and for the pupils. A very helpful discussion followed in which mavy members of the convention partici- pated, Tke next paper was given by Rev. J. K. Fraser. He dwelt on the importance of bible study, and made a powerfal appeal to all present to engage in the intelligent and systematic study of the bible. The question box was then opened and quite a number of questions were satisfac— torily answered by Rev. A. D. McDonald. Tbe credential committee presented their report from which it appeared that there were 5 pastors, 4S. 8, puperintend- ents, 15 officers and teachers present, be- sides a large congregation of persons evi-- dently interested in the S.S8. work.
