MAYOR SHAW. Sir Sandford Fleming Accepts the Building on Behalf of The Trustees--Address Made by Rev. Dr. Campbell Touching the Installation of the Late Principal Grant. A ceremony that will find prominent mention in the domesday book of Queen's "University and in the muni- cipal records of ningston took place Friday evening. It was the formal pre sentation, or the handing over of the keys to the university trustees, of the new arts' building erected by the citizens of Kingston as a further con- tribution to the cause of education, and as a gift in appreciation of the great work done by the late Principal Grant. The day had a two-fold signi- ficance, it being the twenty-fifth anni- versary of the late Principal Grant's installation, and the day when the new principal, Rev. Dr. Gordon, was appointed. The presentation took place in the large mathematics room of the new building, before a large assembly, which included members of the board of trustees and city council. After the invocation by the chaplain, Rev. Dr. Campbell, Renfrew, Mayor Shaw, who was invested with his chain of office, delivered a short address, in which he referred to 'the alacrity of the city council in submitting a bonus by-law to the people, when Principal Grant called for civie assistance in his en- deavor to increase the bounds of the university; and how the people had favored the $50,000 bonus by a vote of three to one. When a lad, his wor- ship said he had registered at Queen's under Prof. Dupuis, whom, he was happy to still see in academic harness. As chief magistrate he was glad of the close relation between town and gown, and of the fact that the city had no as Toronto had. The students, he declared, fine citizens, and it was a pleasure to the people of Kingston to have them in their midst, fact that they robbed them--of daughters. (Laughter.) In conclusion Mayor Shaw "Jt gives me great pleasure, Chancellor, building to yourself and your board of trustees. (Applause). . Sir Sandford Fleming, {he university, replied to the mayor, the trustees and while he spoke as follows : "(On the occasion' of the presenta tion of this building, the magni'i-ent pift of the people- of Kingston, the hoard of trustees of Queen's Univer: said : Mr. Doran, Wathins, and many others of must always be associated growth and de- our citizens with the, remarkable velopment of Queen's.

In the tory of education in Canada there 1s no similar of the city of Kingston takes the first place among the municipalities as the "It is with singular appropriatensss, Mr. Mayor, day, the 5th of present this building sity, it being the twenty-fifth anniver- sary. of the Sastallation" of our late principal, ol a century whose strenuous the advancement of the to .the promotion of the cation in Canada.

But time proved the wisdom of the board. . In conclusion, Dr. Campbell said it was a happy circumstance that on this date, Queen's trustees chould have chosen another principal, one of those radiant spirits, and who was present on that memorable day a quarter * of a century ago when Queen's received an infusion of new life. He was sure that the judgment of Queen's trustees in appointing Dr. Gordon would be justified in the years to come, with as much satis- faction as that of the dearly beloved principal who had passed to rest. (Applause). E. W. Rathbun, Deseronto, also spoke. He remembered the fecling of pride felt by the people of the Bay of Quinte district two years ago over the liberality of the citizens of Kings- ton whom all thought had acted so wisely. He trusted that Rev, Dr. Gordon would receive the same gener ous support accerded to Principal Grant, and hoped that the giit of the new arts' building would redound to the credit of Kingston, and that the action of the latter would be a fit- ting example to the district to aid Queen's more in the future than had been done in the past. After the pronouncement of the benediction by the chaplain, the peo- ple inspected the building, the rooms of which were all thrown open. Music was discoursed by the 14th Regiment- al band and Mr. Arthurs' orchestra. eRe GEER as foe ae ov eM SRE TRY : To Visit Ireland.

He eloped with her several years aco, and when she was apprehended she was placed in an asylum. On a charge of forgery the lieutenant was sentenced to four years in prison, and when he secured his discharge he made it a life work to accomplish the rescue of his loved princess. He made arrangements with an attendant for a second elopement, in which the princess was a party, but the plans were communicated to the asylum authorities, who frustrated them, and Lieutenant Keglevich has returned' to Buda Pesth to consider new plans for the rescue. ---------- Maud Muller Again.

Liberals Thanked Mr. Bowles for Raising the Question--Imper- fect Translation of the Con- vention--Lord Rosebery Spoke on the Education Bill. London, Dec. 6.--In the House © of Commons, yesterday, Thomas Gibon Bowles, member for Lynn Regis, call- ed attention to the sugar question in connection with the Brussels agree: ment. Mr. Bowles said that since the house approved the Brussels conven- tion ten days ago and gave the gov- ernment power to ratify it had been found that the most important article in the convention--the one concerning its duration--was incorrectly translat- ed, while the translation of the con- vention was faulty, in many other re- spects. Under these circumstances he urged that the government should re- consider its position. Mr. Bowles con- cluded by accusing the government of equivocating in regard to the subject. Mr. Balfour, the prime minister, 're- plied by characterizing the action of Mr. Bowles as absolutely unpredecent- ed and most improper and advised the members of the cabinet to refrain from participating in the debate. The matter was not allowed to drop until after Sir Henry Campbell-Ban- nerman, and other liberals made speeches, in which they declared that Mr. Bowles deserved the thanks of the house and the country for raising the question. The debate on the education bill, in the House of Lords, last night, would have been very dreary, but for the intervention of Lord Rosebery, who' vigorously denounced the principle of the measure. He demanded a two- thirds popular control for the schools and declared that the supporters of the voluntary schools reminded him of the children of Gideon, who had imposed on Joshua with their rags and mouldy bread. The government scheme was not a national system of education. > The brilliant speech of Lord Rose- hery, which was heard with frank en- joyment by the whole house, was fol- lowed hy a fierce. intense utterance of Lord Halifax. Just before midnicht the Duke of Devonshire wound up the debate and at 12.30 o'clock the bill was read a second time in the upper house,by 147 votes to 37. The British claims against Venezue- la cannot be ascertained from parlia- mentary papers or official sources. The ageregate bill of damages is believed to fall considerably "below that pres- ented by the German government. The accounts taken together will, how- ever, justify the seizure of the customs of two of the chief Venezuelan ports. Experts familiar with the trade of Venezuela under normal conditions point out that the customs revenues are. chiefly derived from the imports of flour from the United States and (Canada, and the exports of coffee to the same markets, and that the seiz ure of the customs for the settlement ofthe British--and=--German--elaims would involve the wavment of just debts through the duties levied upon commerce from and with the two countries named. Neither here or at Berlin can any thing oflicial be asc stained concerning the impending action of Great Pritain and Germany in the matter of their dispute with Venezuela. The Berlin correspondent of the Morning Post as- certs that the British and German ultimatums, in practically identical form will be delivered simultaneously, perhaps, on December Gth, and Dec ber Sth, and only President Cast unconditional acceptance, accompanied by adequate guarantees for the fulfil ment of -the demands, will avert naval action. Heavy weather is reported from various parts of Europe. I'here was a slight fall of snow in London, yes terday, accompanied by a very keen wind. The cold is severe throughout the countty and a blizzard prevails in Kents----In- Paris the cold is intense and there have been two deaths from exposure.
