CONFERRING OF TITLES, Sir- James Whitney is said to have received so many congratulations from his friends and admirers, upon his knighthood, as to feel that it will be he can adequately acknowledge them. There has not been on this occasion a lavish distri- bution of decorations, bat the re- cipients, it is generally conceded, de- [me some time before served the recognition which they con- fer. Public opinion is changing with re- spect to titles and decorations. Mr. Mackenzie and Mr. Blake, who served their country long and with great ac- ceptibility, are understood to have de- the greatest most clined knighthood, and liberal of his time, the con- spiouous personality in British history barring no one, was contented to re- main plain Mr. Gladstone, and was none the less esteemed and loved on that account. The decoration of Canadians is not intended to separate them from their fellows or mark them out for special It the symbol and conferred is is social distinction, of kingly favour, only on those who have in some way, in public or civil life, earned the hon- it conveys. Sirs Lomar and James Whitney, in the realm of politics, accept the titles as the people they re- or which Gouin compliments to present in Quebec and Ontario, and the people appreciate them to the full. Mr. Sifton eye, and the conservative papers laud The World--which criticized him is again in the public him. at one time, and adversely--now refers to him as "alert, adroit, and compet- ent,"" as a man '"'worth having in the service of the country." Mr, Silton must feel flattered. MAN OF EXTREME MODESTY.

The earl, on the other hand, repre- sents the army and the valour that has carried it to conquégtafter con: quest. The field marshal is small in stature but he is every inch the sol dier, without a peer.

In the memoirs of Champlain there is evidence of the first mission- ary effects, the first effective steps that were taken to educate the- In- dians and to conwert them.

So he planted wheat and barley; he set out a vineyard of native grapes; he did his utmost to turn a desert into a 'gardem "The further he travelled," says a writer in Blackwood's, "the fairer he found the country, and bis amLition lon until wan not limited by the tasks .before He looked beyond to larger him. schemes and larger routes.

"Instantly," says the historian, "his quick brain saw the advantage of a canal cut through the isthmus by which the journey to the south sea would be shortened by fifteen hundred leagues." He was not merely a pro- phet but a man of affairs. He had the foresight of a De Lesseps--and the confidence of a Roosevelt, and the Am- erican people are carrying out to-day what he conceived to be a possibility over three hundred years ago. Muny pens have pourtrayed the air- tues of Montcalm and Wolfe, who re- presented the military side of a series of stirring events, and nothings could be more appropriate than the partici- pation by Briain and France in the revival of incidents of the most ro- mantic character. The capture of Que- bec .by British troops brought into bold relief two heroes whose memories will be perpetuated by the purchase of the famous battlefield and its conver- gion into a national park. The contribution of nearly half a million dollars towards its purchase, this money representing the offerings of all nationalities, through the Prince of Wales, was, the biggest event of the week, and the one which will have the largest place in the chroni- cles of the day.

Quebiee, July 24.--This has been the day 'of ull' days since the celebration began; 13,000 men' passed in review be- fore the Prince of Wales and his brik liamt' suite, - 1t was a military dis- play worthy cof 'any nation in the world and the prince was profuse in his smiles and declarations of ap- proval. The soldiers from Kingston did exceed well; the battery; 14th, 47th gad all who thok part. The l4th was well cheered and our soldiers deserved it. Col. Kent and his regiment have beén in the public eye much singe they came here and officers do not hesitate to say we have a fine regiment. It was twelve o'clock whensthe 14th regiment reach- ed the review stand and the boys had been on parade then for over five hours.

Lord Roberts,' as honorary colonel of the Q.0.R., Toronto, rode at the head of that regiment in passing the review stand to the thunderous ap- plausé of the whole field. This evening General Otter and Col. Lessard visited Col. Gordon's camp and complimented him on the condi- tion of everything under him. Sir Frederick Borden, at the of the review, spoke to your corres- pondent enquiring after his Kingston Sir Frederick: said to-day was the proudest in all his life and he felt that the present gov- ernment had done its military work well. The minister of militia stood by the side the prince during the whole review. The suggestiom to have berts visit Kingston is having the support of Col. Gordon and every friend of Kingston, and it looks as though "Bobs" would consent Col. Gordon assured me this evening that if the popular field marshall did not visit Kingston "it would not be his fault.

This is the most delightful morning as far as weather is concerned that we have had since the ter-centenary celebration began. The crowds kept coming in on every train with no prospeets of being able to give them either food or lodging. The trains are crowded with excur- sionists who when they come in seek some place where toilet necessities can be found and then where food can be seeured.

Cigars sell at high prices and few men smoke on the streets, Every profanity is absent from street associgtions, for Quebec is so religious that her peo- ple have a small supply of cuss words for public use.
