The resolution was adopted extensions, at as to whether he act as manager. ..

Toye declared that Mr. Ross did not condemn Mr. Campbell's s as to the highs engine, street railway, ete, but stated that those matters were worthy of further consideration, . The city solicitor wrote, stating that it is not necessary to set out in | a by-law all the details of the expen diture of the money. Power of ar rangement of the details is vested in the council. He stated that the money could be applied towards the carrying out of the work mentioned in the three clauses of Mr. Campbell's report, still in suspense, should council de sire. Ald. Givens stated. that in commit- tee he had advocated submitting to Mr. Ross, for his opinion, the three clauses of Mr. Campbell's report, which, in April last, he advised being held over. Hp, himself, had written in Ross about the Matter, and he portions of two communications from the Montreal expert, who, in brief advised that owing to the in- creased business and the fact that the extensions would be made during the time of year when the plant was Worked to its utmost, that the recom indations of Mr. be adopt: ed. In view of . Givens said that he would vote in favor of the committee's report, Ald. Givens also stated 'that Mr. Ross had said, in one of his letters, that thi city could not afford to lose the services of Mr. Campbell at this time, and that he had the highest re- gard for his ability as an electrical exh, ld. Couper moved, seconded by Ald, Cooke, that the clause be re- ferred back to the committee to 'em- body in a report the duties of Mr. Campbell, and report as to who shall act as manager of the plant. Ald. Elliott stated that all the in- formation secured by Mr. Ross was got from Mr. Campbell, and not from the light committee. When a man is interested, he gives information best suited to his own ideas. He held that if the city connected with the street railway dynamo, there was the danger of the company charging the city much more than should be charged. The people didn't want further con- nection with the street railway. Doz. ens of people had voted for the by- law on the assumption, as clearly giv- en by the council, that there was to be no further connection with the rail- way. Ald.' Elliott claimed that in carrying out Mr. Campbell's report upon this question the committee would be breaking faith with the peo- ple. The speaker held that the com- mittee should give the council more information as to what the exact dut- ies of Mr, Campbell are to be. He also stated that Mr. Campbell had beon in communication with Mr. Ross concerning the plant. Ald. Toye said he wished to correct the statement about Mr. Campbell be- ing in communication with Mr. Ross. Mr, Campbell had not been in com- munication with him in the way Ald. Elliott would have the council be- lieve, but only in the way of 'giving information asked for in Mr. Ross' letter to Ald. Givens. The latter wish- ed Mr. Campbell to give the informa- tion, but the latter would not do so until he (Ald. Toye) gave him auth- ority. He had simply replied to some questions asked by Mr. Ross.

Bassam, who id it was illegal for council to make it. Mayor Mowat said he was willing to subscribe personally towards the old boys' reception, but could not vote for a grant by council, as the law did not sanction it, and also because the money was needed for other more ur- gent purposes, such as street re: pairs, The motion was defeated on the fol- lowing tie vote: - Yeas--Alds.

Spangenberg, thus substituting Mr. Pense's name for Mr. Dalton's. i The amendment was carried by a rising vote, by such a large majority as to' be nearly unanimous. Mr, Dal- ton asked to move, substituting S. C. McGill's name, but was declared out of order, the amendment having been carried, Here the clerical chairman's duty ended, and Warden Waldron was lled on to preside. oc nl J. Bn" Pense moved, seconded by F. paigenberg, that the com- mittee be instructed to submit to the bishop the names of Rev. F. . Du- moulin of Chicago, Rev. Dr. Whitney, of England, and Canon Starr, present priest-vicar. He stated that two other clergymen freely spoken of were not. inclined to leave their present en: viable stations, and this resolution was under the situation in the best interest of one they Warmly regarded, the present incumbent, since if he were not the bishop's absolute choice, he could work in harmony with either of the others named, a matter of great interest to the people regarding ultimate results. : Canon Loucks regretted that this meeting should go beyond the dio- cese for a choice, when priests like Rev. Messrs. Armstrong, Beamish, Boulden, Macmorine and Forneri were available: also an old associate, Arch- deacon Harding, and & prominent churchman like Canon Farthin~ of Woodstock. He severely criticized a name or two submitted from outside sources, but not mentioned in this re- port, and not sustained by the previ- ous speaker. Robert Carson urged the widest latitude of choice of names by the committee, and particularly impressed Canon Starr's candidature. He also submitted the name of Canon Muckles- ton, of Perth. Rev. 8. Tighe urged a selection in the ghest interest of the cathedral and the church throughout the diocese. The chairman expressed a wish for a ballot vote for choice, 8. C. Mot moved for a meeting for such a vote a: week hence. Stewart Robertson moved for an immediate ballot. Mr. Pense deferred to the apparent strong wish of the meeting, and rest- ed his resolution temporarily. He had studied the situation, with others, and the unequivocal attitude of the bishop. They knew also his desire to have "the congregation at large approve of the three names submitted. To name can- didates who were not favored by the appointing power was not kind to them, not even fair. He regretted others did not desire the same cau: tion and frankness. The motion for a vote forthwith prevailed, and W. J. B. White and R. E. Burns were appointed scrutineers. The result was a popular demohstra- tion for Canon Starr. Votes cast 179; Canon Starr 153, Rev. F. Dumoulin, 38, Dr. Whitney 38, Canon Farthing 31, Canon Richardson 9, Archdeagon Harding 6, Rev. F. W. Armstrong 5, Canon - Muckleston 4, Rev. G. R.

Costigan 1, The vote in the aggregate would be unin- telligible, were it not in order to ex- plain. that a large number placed Canon Starr's name three times on their ballots, only one of which could be counted, as the vote was asked for three names, one vote for each pro- posed name. The three names selected w those already moved by Mr, Pense, as an instruction to the com- mittee, POOR TREATMENT -- To Those Willing to Give Old Boys' a Good Time.

The Victoria day commit- tee voted 8200 of theic surplus for this reception, but next dav caneelled the grant. The city council has not yet answered the application of the as. sociation.

The following is the very unique amendment to the forestalling by-law, presented to the city council last night by Ald. Gaskin, and seconded by 'Ald. Elliott, The hope was ex- pressed that it be printed : "Moved by Ald. Gaskin, seconded by Ald. Elliott, and resolved that where- as the present forestalling by-law pre- vents the green grocer, peddler and other dealers from buying food supply to sell again before the hour of ten o'clock and gives the general house keeper and taxpayer (who is not. a dealer), an opportunity to purchase on the market before the hour of ten o'clock, getting the food supply fresh from the farm and at first cost, since the more hands any article passes through the 'greater will: be the cost: and whereas, we believe that if the market forestalling by-law be abolish- sd the green. grocer, peddler and other dealers will on the arrival of the farmer purchase the best of every- thing, and force the thrifty bousekeep- er who has had to dress her children before leaving and attend . to other household duties, to purchase what is left, or if she wants the best, %o go to the store for it, by which means the sale of the market food supply would fall into the hands of the mid. dleman; and whereas, this matter is of great interest to the general publ resolved that the question of repealing the market forestalling by-law be left to the people for their decision at the January municipal election." ~ WOODS REMANDED. ---- He Admitted That He Stole the Outfit.
