"The difficulty has been," said Coronâ€" er Johnson, "that we have not hitherto, perhaps, as a council, taken action in all the cases in which we might have dome so. There are cases talked of toâ€" day of men said to be in the habit of performing such operations, and T think the council must take some action." Ir.

W. Shier and Dr. E. M. Cook, of Toronto, saying that it was for the Council to say what potion should be taken, A hot discussion occupied the rest of the morning session. Dr. Starr set the ball rolling by giving notice of motion that ‘the registrar confer with the detecâ€" tive in investigating charges â€" against members of the Medical Council, and of another motion that the Council proce«d to the investigation of the recosds of members of the Council whose names had been mentioned in connection â€" with erimes against the unborn. Dr. MeColi, of Belleville, thoughs the Discipline Committee should pay partinâ€" lar attention to the cases of Dr. Cook and Dr. Shier, Dr. Starr thought it most important for the Council to take action, not onl y in the case of these men, but some othâ€" ers, as the Discipline Committee might every editorial in the (lobe.

The announcement of the vote was the signal for a wild demonstration equalling in turbulence, if not in durance, the reâ€" cordâ€"breaking display which on Wednesâ€" day afternoon greeted the first mention of Mr. Bryan‘s name in the convention.

It was stated that the Laborites had communicated with the Lord Chamberlain on the subject, and deduced that Hardie‘s nonâ€"invitation was due to the King‘s displeasure at his action in reference to His Majesty‘s reâ€" cent visit to the Czar at Reval. They therefore decided thet the court had atâ€" tempted to influence members of Parliaâ€" ment in the discharge of their duties and in expressing opinions honestly on poliâ€" tical auestions. The party accordingly adopted a resofution associating itself with Hardie, and requesting that until his name be restored to the official list of those invited to such functions the names of all the members of the party be removed. Since the incident Hardie has reiterâ€" ated in public speeches . and otherwise that he would not have accepted the inâ€" vitation to the garden pary had it been extended to him. Labor Men Refuse to Attend Garâ€" den Party. The Bill Pass>s the British Commons With Little Opposition. London, July 13.â€"The third reading of the oldâ€"age pension bill was passed in the House of Commons toâ€"night. _ By this measure every man and . woman of seventy or over who is not in receipt ofâ€" an â€"annual income of over _ €21 shall â€"receive from _ the Government a weekly pension of five shillings, Perâ€" sons in receipt of relief under the poor law will not receive a pension. It was intended at first that when two or more persons in receipt of pensions resided in the same house, as, for instance, a man and his wife, the pension should be reâ€" duced to 3s 9d weekly, but at _ the earnest solicitation of the Labor memâ€" bers and many others the Government decided to abandon the reduced pension. It is estimated that the cost of this con cession will be £300,000. The sliding scale introduced by Mr. Lloyd George, provides _ that for every £2 12« Gd which a pension income is in excess of €21 yearly, the pension shall be reduced by one shilling weekly. The total cost of the pensions to the country will be about £8,000,000 annually. The bill met with very little opposition in the House of Commons, but of course must vet run the gauntlet of the Lords.

Twice Beâ€" ‘ fore the throng had been moved into a mad ecstasy, first by the speech placing the name of Bryan in nomination, and again when that of Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, was presented, but these manifestations paled before the culminâ€" | ating outbursts of emotion.

NEW SUFFRAGETIE RAID Behir.d the Curtain. of one shareholder over another in all cases, the solicitor and counsel apâ€" pealed to the High Court of Justice, and at the time the negotiations ecnâ€" menced there were pending altogether some thirty appeals. _ The matter at this stage certainly looked very dark for the shareholders, although â€" they themseives were the cause of the trouble. _ It seemed to be an almost absolute necessity to have the mac | ter settled, and Mr. Sceott and Mr. | Douglas were instructed by the liquiâ€" dator to leave nothing undone in order to bring about a satisfactory adjustment of the various claims of the different shareholders, and this they have sucâ€" cessfully carried out, in conjunction with Toronto, July 13.â€"It will be a great satisfaction to the numerous shareholdâ€" ers of the York County Loan & Savings Company to know that the various disâ€" putes amongst themselves have been finâ€" ally settled, thus enabling the liquidators of ‘the company to pay a first dividend as soon as the exact amount of the difâ€" ferent claims can be ascertained by the accountants, The â€"liquidator, the National Trust: Company, Limited, through its counsel, Mr. D. C. Scott, and counsel for the general bogy of shareholders, Mr. W. M. Douglas, K. C., has been hard at work upon this settlement for some months past, and a short time ago succeeded in arriving at a settiement with the differâ€" ent classes of shareholders represented by different shareholders. This settle men‘t has now yeceived the approval of Mr. Justice Teetzr!. The mmt of the settlement is that all the shareholders, with â€" a _ few exceptions, rank equally upon the assets of the estate, the tocal amount of the preferred claims being ®69,427, whereas the total amount of claims for preference made by certain shareholders amounted to the sum of $1,250,000 approximately. If these preâ€" ferred claims had been allowed chere would have been very little left for the ordinary shareholders, The various claims set up by different shareholders were adjudicated upon beâ€" fore Mr. George Kappele, K. C., Official Referee, and the result of the settlement is practically to affirm the judgments given by him in the different classes, Another great faeture of the settleâ€" ment is that all litigation between the shareholders is now settled, and the probable appeals to ‘che Privy Counail are now â€" out of question, thus reâ€" moving what would have been a cause of great complaint by | the â€" shareâ€" holders themselves in respect of . the immense cost of the appeals, and in respect of the great delay consequent thereupon. The question of hte adjustment of the rights of the _ different â€" sharcholders among â€" themselves threatened at the outset to indefinitely delay the liquiâ€" dation of the escate, _ There are aitoâ€" gether upwards of 120,000 shareholders, and when the liquidator came to inves tigate the different claims it was found that the rights of the different shareâ€" holders could not be adjusted without serving each individual shareholder with notice to appear before the Official Refâ€" eree in support of his claim,. This, it was found, would involve an expenditure of $200,000, and a delay which would be ruinous. The liquidator then, upon the advice of its solicitor and counsel for the generai bouy of shareholders, applied to Parliament for a special act, amendâ€" ing the windingâ€"up act, conferring the power upon the court of dividing the different claimants into different classes, and appointing a counsel to represent each class, and also providing that serâ€" vice upon the counsel appointed for each elass would be considered good and suffiâ€" cient service upon the individuals comâ€" posing that class. The bill was introâ€" duced by Hon,. Mr., Ayleswor‘th, Minister of Justice, and passed at the last session of Parliament.

Mr. Kappele, Official Referee, then divided the shareholders into 14 classes altogether, and appointed a solicitor and counsel for each class in pursuance of the conditions of the act. The matters in e&A@itest in each class were then brought before the Official PiWeree last autumn, and have been proceeded with without delay until about a month ago, when Mr. Aappele delivered his judgâ€" ment in the last case tried before him.
