Vice-President Judson, of Chicago University, was the first speaker. He declared that Canadian students had very taking ways, and instanced the fact of one having carried off is daughter as a bride. (Laughter). He refused to be called a foreigner, for both peoples were one. (Applause). Colleges were a better investment for any government than gunpowder, and those in Canada and the United States were mutual fortresses of friendliness. The century just opened the speaker declared was to be the greatest in the world's history in hu- man science. Prof. Judson emphasized the fact that the people of the Unit ed States were thoroughly friendly to the British. There were demagogues of course, but they did not represent the true United States idea. In conclusion the speaker declared that the hope of political purification lay in the uni- versities, Dr. H. H. Chown, Winnipeg's noted surgeon, a graduate of Queen's a Thea will have on Satur day, etches 1745, matinee and night, | quarter of a century ago, spoke of at the Grand House an oppor- tunity of the brilliant young actor, John Henderson, one of Ame riea's most ue, in the Intest New sensation "The Wizard of the Nile," one of the best theatrical properties in America.

Come in past days at Queen's, and of the fact that only two of his professors wero now living. He referred also to the advance of medical science. The ad- vance of the medical student hind sure- lv been great since his day, as evi- denced by the fact that a medical man now held the Alma Mater presidency. In his college days, the medical stu- dent was an outcast, required only once a year--on election night. Re: cently, he had met "Tom' Coffey, the old janitor of Queen's Medical Col- loge, and said to him: "Well, Tom, how are the boys getting on?" "Oh, not very well,"' was the reply. "And what is the matter Tom ?"' "Och, the bhoys have too much praying and too little whiskey." (Laughter). In con- clusion, Dr. Chown gave some inter- esting facts about western Canada, which offered the greatest inducements to voung men. Dr. Douglas, New York, a graduate ol forty-five years ago, gave interest. ing reminiscences of his old days at Queen's, when Rev. Dr. Cook was tem- porary principal, and also of his courses at Edinburgh and Laval. He reiterated his statement made at the general assembly commission that the graduates should have a larger re predentation upon the boafd of trus- os, The proceedings concluded with the presentation to the. university of an oil portrait of the late Rev, Dr. vice principal of Queen's in 1884. For this ceremony, the chancel into a partoership | lor took the chair. The presentation a plumbing shop | was made by Rev. Dr. Carmichael, of Strange, Ont., on behalf of a number of the deceased vice principal's friends, and the portrait was received by Rev. Dr. Wardrobe, the oldest living stud- ent of Queen's. Both Dr. Carmichael and Dr. Wardrobe were heard with great delight by the large assembly. WANT MORE POWER. Deputation Visits The Premier-- Insurance Conditions.

OCTOBER {6. -- THIS CANADA Of Ours, The Theme At Pilgrim's London, Oct. 15.~Fhe Pilgrims ban- quet to the Alaskan boundary commis- sion was an ocomsion. A large pumbser of Canadians were present, in- cluding Lord Strathcona, Sir Louis , King, Griffiths, .Ayleswor Wade, Howard and Turner. Lord Alverstone humorously said he would disclose the secrets of the Alas ka commission sittings, Sir Louis Jette, he said, would go down to' his- tory as the champion interrupter. He bad interrupted the proceedings ten times more than the others. Mr. Aylesworth, he said, was one of the most charming. colleagues he ever had to do with. Mr. Sifton who was much applauded, retumed thanks fon the courtesies shown the Canadian commissioners, himwell, and Canadians - connect: ed with the, case. He regarded the tribunal as an unique attempt to settle the differences between three great English speaking nations. It marked an epoch in international pro- ceedings. Canada was proud to be an integral part of the empire, but the slightest cause for friction between England and the United States. To between them he con- sidered would be a crime unparalleled in the annals of history. In the nature of things there Tight be friction from time to time, but hoped they would be settled in a judicial way on prin- ciples of fairness, forbearance and a de- sire on the part of public men on both™sides to do full justice to each other. Mr. Aylesworth, , who was warmly cheered, said he was a pilgrim, a Ca- nadian, an American and best of all a Britisher. He had heard the adjec- tive American used on all sides dur- ing the evening. He wondered what position Canada held. The flag of Bri- tain flew over the larger, and, Cana- dians thought, the better part of the American continent. In the Dominion were hundreds of thousands of the most loyal British subjects, represent. ed this evening hy Sir Louis Jette, represented in the Dominion by the first statesman in the land, Sir Wil. frid Laurier. There breathed no such universal affection and loyalty for the British empire as exists in Canada, but Canadians wanted the friendship, too, of their neighbors to the south. "We dof't like their form of govern- ment," added Mr. Aylesworth, "but we hope that the day will come when they will annex themselves to Canada and the flag of a united Canada will float from the north pole to Mexico. Americans dread a Caesar, little re- membering that if time should send them a royal Caesar they would nev- er know a more beneficient way. Elihu Root said that the delightful association existing between Canada and England, was due to the stern war of independence. MONTREAL TIDINGS. C.P.R. Promotions-- Sudden Summons. Montreal, Oct. 16.--E. V. Stayner, representative of the Canadian Pacific railway in New York, has been ap- pointed assistant traffic manager with Jurisdiction over eastern agencies. C. M. Hays has returned from an inspection of the Central Vermont railway, of which he is president, and states that he found the road in ex- cellent condition with its earning pow- er greatly increased over what it was four years ago, when the Grand Trunk assumed charge. With an empty glass, from which he had just taken a drink of brandy, clutched in his right hand, Louis Gre- nier fell to the floor dead in the bar room of the Dalhousie hotel, last night. Those who were in the bar thought that he had only fainted and a physician was called, but Grenier was beyond human aid. Although the deceased, about forty-five years of age, was known to several who were in the bar, no one could tell where his fam- ily resided, and the body was taken to the morgue, BIG STRIKE PENDING. Twenty-Three Thousand Miners : Will Be Involved. Chicago, Oct. 16.--A great strike in in the coal fields of the 'gestern states will be called on Monday, according to President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers. Twenty-three thousand men will be called out in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and New Mexi- co. President fiitchen personally will direct the struggle for the men. The reason for the strike order, is that the owners have refused to treat with the direct officers of the union, who have asked for a new wage scale. The members of Kingston Lodge, No. 59, LO.O.F,, are requested to weet at the lodge room, on Saturday, at 1.30 p.m. sharp, for the purpose of attending the funeral of our late Bro- ther Robert King, Mémbers of other lodges are also invited to attend, Fu- neral will leave No. 114 Johnson St., at two o'clock sharp.

Mail Clerk on Trial For Theft of Letters From the Mails--Ask- ing to Restrain From Use of a |. Firm's Name. Toronto, Oct. 16.--David B. Kelly, the mail clerk arrested last night, ap- peared in the police court to answer two charges of stealing from the mail. Both letters were decoy letters. Kelly reserved election and was remanded a week. He had been twenty-two years in the service and was just now on the midland division of the G.T.R. of holding up a King street car, Thursday, and as saulting Conductor Howard, were re- eT "a week in to-day's police court. About a week ago the International Stock Foods company and M. W. & E. B. Savage, Minneapolis, who claim- ed to be proprietors, issued a writ here seeking to restrain Naesbitt & Co., formerly agents, and the direc- tors of a company formed here with a similar name, from using such name. To-day the local directors and Naes- bitt & Co. issued a writ seeking to restrain the use of the name here by M. W. & E. B. Savage. James Conmee, .P., and C. M. Bewman, M.P.P., as judgement credi- tors of the Algoma Central railroad, have begun action here and at Sault Ste Marie, attacking the mortgages held by Speyer & Co., Philadelphia, as fraudulent preferences. An injunction was granted by Justice McLaren, this morning, returnable on Tuesday. re- straining the defendants from dealing with the mortgages and the plain- tiffs in the alternative claim the right to redeem the mortgages and frame the action as a redemption ac- tion. The writ is issued by N. W. Rowell, K.C., and makes the Central Trust company, New York, the Algo- ma Central railway, Speyer & Co., and the Consolidated Lake Superior com- pany, defendants. The plaintifis were contractors for the construction of the Algoma Central railway. On Wednes- day last they got judgment against the railway for $400,000, due them for construction work. The action is to s2t aside the mortgages and deeds given by the railway company to the Central Trust company, the mortgages and transfers of barges, ete., to the Algoma Commerciab company, and the issue and delivery of bonds of the railway company to Speyer & Co., as fraudulent preferences over the defen- dants and other creditors. The mort- gages, it is claimed, are ultra viris of the company. The injunction restrains the defendants from dealing with the securities. A similar application at the "Soo" this afternaon is by other creditors. Yhe object of the plaintifis in claiming the right to redeem and in asking for an account for this purpose is understood to be to secure a forced delay of the Speyer sale to enable Sen- ator Dandurand to complete his ar- rangements with the British capita- lists. Conmee has been in close touch with the efforts to secure new capital and spent all of Wednesday conferring with Dandurand. DIED IN SYRACUSE. 3 Robert King, Former King- stonian, Accidentally Killed.
