The kion. N. Clarke Wallace during his address on the Budget in the House of Commons the other day, very pointedly laid bare this delusion. The Hon. gentleman said:— "\Vhat right had they (the opposition) to say that it was impossible for them to get better prices for wheat in Cana- da, urn the under P .? I quote a tt , Globe of May llth last, which showed that spring wheat was sold in Toronto at 85 cents, at Buffalo at ?0 cents, at Detroit at 67/ cents, and at Chicago at 621 to 63 cents. What had the hors, gentlemen to say to that? In the same paper No. 2 hard reheat was quoted at Toronto at 88 cents, at Buffalo at ?1i cents and at Detroit at 71 cents. Oats were quoted at Toronto at 35 to 85- cents and at Chicago at 28i to 24 cents. Heavy mess pork was quoted at Toronto at $15.75 and at Chicago at from $12,02 to $12.121 or $12.50 to bring to Toronto, and yet it was worth $3.25 more in Toronto, and this differ- ence was received by the Canadian farmer, or the protection of $1 on pork."

She was carefully cross-examined by Mr. Lonnt, The his- tory of the courtship and marriage wore repeated. Mr. John Wright, a practical ;plumber, proved by actual experiment that the weight could not have been severed from the book. This scented so convinoing that it is probable that the theory will be abandoned by the defence. o 1 rade" b his C i L money0 Samuel Grand 0 .lender,by . a2n1 e „ , evidence, pointed out that the prisoners were in need of money before Wells was killed. Another witness described blood stains which sho found on a pair of Harry By - ams' trousers. Mrs. Hyams was most positive in her evidence, and had no doubt but that her husband told her a story which from the evidence already given is shown to be a subterfuge. Richard Lane, a beaker and money len- cler, said the warehouse business was ono in which there was very keen opposition and he would not expect now bands to succeed very well, and he was not at all surprised if they did no business between November and February. Dr. McPherson, a physician and money lender,who had lade loans through Lane to Hyams, said ho had never been engag- ed in the building tracle,and corroborated Lane iu his statements of a number of transactions. Dr. King, who was called late yesterday afternoon, said that Dallas Hyams seem- ed very much pleased to see him when he entered the warehouse, and the three at onoo proceeded to the scene of the tragedy. He described the position of the body, and said that he bad been told that it had been moved, and ho saw no blood nor `a scratch on Dallas Hyanis nor ai ything that would lead him to believe that a struggle had taken place. The Dr. was certain that the deceased diel not have glasses on when lie saw the body, and he did not believe that there were gloves on the hands. Toronto, May 17. --?,Mr. C. S. Smoke yes- terday told of the business transaction between Mrs. Hyams and H. P. Hyams, and B. D. Humphrey, an undertaker, described the condition of the body of Wells when he found it on the day of the tragedy. George H. Grundy, general agent of the New York Life Insurance Company, in the afternoon told of the insurance which was placed on the life of W. C. . Wells. The policy on his life was for $30,000 and in the form of a twenty-year endowment. Thomas G. -McConkey, another agent of bbs New York Life Insurance Company, corroboraetd the evidence of Grundy. William Dark, the third of the agents of the New York Life, talked life assurance to the court, and very carefully explained what bad already been minutely doscribed. S. W. Hugbson, of the Covenant Mu- tual, said that W. C. Wells had placed two policies on his life for 51,000 each, payable to Miss Martha. He said, too, that H. P. Hyams had applied for 510, - 000 of insurance on his own life. Dr. Little said that he had endeavored to find Hyams to examine him, and when one day he did see him the question was evaded, and said that he was busy and made an engagement for the following day, but he never called again. Toronto, May 1S.—Two events happened yesterday horning at the Hyams trial which made the session interesting and important. The defence revealed its hand, and will attempt to show that it was or could be possible for the weight to rest on the very tip of the nose of the hook, and if in this position a projection was encounter- ed the weight would leave the hook with a hound. The defence has made experi- ments to satisfy them on this. The Crown, however, wall attempt to show that the weight could not have got in such a position. The last line of the Crown's evidence began this morning, when Dr. Coven, in a scholarly and highly intellectual; way, began to describe the fractures on the dome of the skull. This occupied the en- ti.e morning, and he told of the fractures of the base of the; skull in the afternoon. Detective Cuddy told of having inter- viewed H. P. Hyams shortly after the tragedy regarding the insurance on young Wells' body. He was referred to Miss Fells, now Mrs, Hyams, but al though be went directly to the house where she lived he did not see her until she bad a conversation with the prisoner. Toronto, May 20.—At four o'clock on Saturday afternoon Mr. Osler announced that for the present the Crown would not call any more witnesses for the prosecu- tion in the charge against the Byans brothers. The judge ruled against admitting the evidence of Detective Heidelberg, Now York, and Detective Pearson, Jersey City, relative of the career of the prisoners in these places before coming to Toronto. Should, however, the defence put in evi- dna) of good character the Crown may then call the detectives to the stand. Further evidence was offered by the Crown on Saturday relative to the elevat- or, and several medical mon were also called to speak as to the probable causes of the injuries which rgsulted in death. They were all of 'the opinion that two severe blows had been struck. To clearly understand the medical testimony it should be stated that the doctors speak of the skull of deceased as if it wore in two sections. The tops or first section, is the part which it has been possible to piece together, and to son clearly tins frao- tereswhich caused death , and the lower half, or second section, is the portion which was so smashed that it could: not be put together. The case for the Crown closed with the production of a photo- graph and crayon portrait of deceased for These figures might be extended to a greater leugth still, and if the read- ing farmer will take the trouble to look at the market reports from day to day as reported for his benefit he can veri- fy the above quotations for himself. Let him compare these markets at any time and then figure out for himself, taking as a basis of calculation what he himself sells from year to year and he will be convinced _that the home market is the best market for him, and that the cry for the "sixty million mar- ket" is a delusion and only intended to 1 ead estray. It is partizancry, and used for political purposes, but the thinking and reading man should no longer be deluded thereby, if be profits by what he reads. NE WFO UNDLAND.

Ho' telephoned Dr. King, and told him that he could not take the necessary oath of acoroner to the effect that an inquest was necessary. He clic- not know the pri- soners, and was in the premises about half an hour. Ho believed the weight was lying on the floor ou its narrow side when he saw it, and not leaning against the weight shaft easing, as several of the previous witnesses had said it was. Flo did not see glasses on the face and was sure there wore none. Ito did not observe gloves on the hands. The sides of the head were pressed together as if by a ter- rific blow. He did not recollect making ,,onthe 'L � ll of the promises any Oxamin, ti4l first floor. Ho went call to the top floor and saw the hoot: and rope. Witness was cross-examined by Mr. Os- ler. Tho hook now produced in court was not the hook he was shown in the warehouse on the day of the accident. The book; the accused showed him had a longer shaft and a shorter turn. Toronto, May 21, -Many surgeons sum- moned by the defence in the trial of the Hyams twins at the York Assize Court yesterday sworn that what Mr. Osler de- scribed as the "Johnstonian theory" would account for the injuries found on the skull of the 'alleged murdeeed boy, William Wells. The Johnstonian theory is that the boy was looking up the weight shaft when the weight foil off tho hook, hit hint on the head and knocked him in- sensible. In order to account for the fact that the weight, having a greater mo- mentum than the falling body of the boy, would reach the earth first, the John- stonian theory is that either the weight carried the boy down with it, or that it struck the edge of the buffer, that during the time it was resting on the buffer the boy's head reached the earth and the weight tilted over upon it. The doctors wore unanimous that the injuries of the head could not have boen occasioned while it was poised in the air,' but must have been inflicted while the head was lying upon a resisting force. Equally were they unanimous that there was nothing to show that the head had received a blow while poised in the air. If it hacl there might or might not have been a fracture of tho skull, and if there was the fracture would have been obliterated by the second blow. To Mr. Osier, all admitted that there was nothing inconsistent with Wells bay- ing received a blow and then been laid on the buffer and the weight dropped on the head. Even the smaller weight, if drop- ped four or five feet. would have occasion- ed all the fractures found. While he thought the Johnstonian theory was the most reasonable to account for the inju- ries, Dr. Cameron said that was, of course, presuming no murder bad been committed. The doctors who testified for the Crown h >re were two linos unanimous that t c, e were u of ince. Those for the defence thought one line of force could have occasioned the injuries, but admitted that the injur- ies of the first blow might have been obli- terated by the second. The defence put a witness in the box who swore that on Sunday noon, twenty hours before the killing, he was in the warehouse with Willie Wells, that the lat- ter experimented with the hoist, and the weight stuck iu the shaft, that he had to utilize a walking stick to dislodge it; that after it reached tho ground young Wells, unaided, changed the heavy weight for the lighter one, again substituting the heavy one,that be was once more pulling up the weight when this man noticed the hook was only partially in the weight, and spoke to Wells about it, and that the latter lowered the weight, but did not se- curely fasten in the hook. What the de- fence seeks to prove by this is that when Wells left the elevator on Sunday the hook was unsafe, that he was the first man to use it on the next morning, and that forgetting the hook was partially out went to work the elevator, with the re- sult that the weight fell and killed hint. The Crown claim that they can prove that Wells was not at the warehouse at all on the Sunday. When all evidence is in as to the truth or falsity of this story the jury will be in a position to decide what importance is to be attached to this mail's testimony and what opinion to en- tertain on the question of the prisoners' guilt or innocence. 'rho interest in the trial grows apace. The court room was thronged yesterday, many ladies being present.

It now appears that Newfoundland land P will not become a province of Canada for at least some time yet, as the nego- tiation going on for some time between the authorities of Canada and those of the Island have failed to bring about the expected union. This is to be re gretted, as the adding of that bland to the Canadian Confederacy would round off the Dominion and add territory to our domain that from a strategic point of view as well as from a commercial standpoint would add considerably to our national importance, while the gain to the Island would be simply inestim- able. The arrangement has fallen through at present through failure in seeing eye to eye as the terms of union which may be briefly summed up as follows:—Newfoundland asked for a subsidy at the rate of 80 cents per cap ita of population; $150,000 bounty to fishermen; Canada to assume the debt of the colony in proportion to the debt of the Dominion; pay $150,000 annual- ly for Crown lands; protect fisheries, etc.; bonus industries; let the Province control the mines, and finally grant $650,000 for legislative purposes. The island wanted a few other trifles also, not worth enumerating, such as estab- lishing militia, artillery, etc., at a cost of about $200,000. Canada offered to as- sume $10,350,000 of Newfoundland's debt, allots 80 cents per capita of stab. say, making with other legislative al lowances $465,000; maintain the crdi- nary Dominion services in the island, such as customs, etc., maintain regular steamship connection; grant $40,000 yearly towards police constabulary in. stead of militia; treat the fisherman the sane as those of Canada, and give the Province four Senators and ten Com- moners. It will thus be seen that the offer made by Canada was not only liberal, but the best that could be ten- dered in justice to the other provinces and if Newfotindland is not satisfied to except, it is matter for regret, but it is not good poliey to pay too dear for our whistle. We would pay nut a million annually. The Customs receipts of Newfoundland last year were $1.,620,- 000. Of that amount half a trillion; in sem levied upou ou s was the s m round figures, p goods imported from Canada. If we leave the duties upon Canadian goods out of the question, these not being collectable under Confederation, the Customs revenue from the colony should be about $1,100,000.

Eclipse ofa Bright Legal i?lind— t Sud- den Calling Away At one o'clock Tuesday morning, May 14th, Isaac Francis Tom, Senior Judge of Huron County, passed peacefully to the other land, after a severe illness of two weeks duration. From the first, the seriousness of the case was noticed by his medical attendant, Dr. Whitely, and about a week since two eminent medical experts from Toronto were call- ed to Goderich for an operation and consultation, So weak, however, had the patient become through inability to take nourishment, that the intended From fe . 1 operation had to be dc."red the time of the departure of the Toron- to medical men until death there was a gradual decrease in strength, but as the loss of vitality was slow and almost imperceptible, those who were nearest and dearest to him, and his numerous friends, still hoped that restoration would gradually come and that his home would not be a house of mourn. ing. The deceased gentleman was the youngest man eyes placed on the bench in Canada, he having attained the emi- nent position at the age of 25 years. The wisdom of his selection at such an early age has been fully realized, for his judicial career has been unusually brilliant, his decisions, even in the most intricate cases, generally bearing the test of appeal in any court, ane then becoming standards for future guid- ance, In legal circles the decisions of Judge Toms were always deemed right and such was the reputation attained by his judgments, that of late years the word. appeal seemed to have passed from the legal vocabulary in Huron, in cases where he occupied the bench, Isaac F. Toms was born in Charlotte- ville, Norfolk County, Ont., and was of undoubted Scotch U. E. Loyalist ances try, bath maternal and paternal branch• es being wholly of: that stock, The de- ceased studied law at Simcoe and To- ronto, and moved to Goderich in 1860. In 1866 he was appointed deputy judge of Huron and Bruce. On the separa- tion of the counties he was made junior judge of Huron county, his appoint- ment dating from December 1872. The appointment of Surrogate Judge of the Maritime Court followed in 1879, and that of County Judge in 1882. Early in life he shewed a partiality for socie ties, and at his decease was a Knight Templar, a Royal Arch Mason, a Past Deputy Grand Master of the Huron Masonic District, a Past Superintend- ent of Royal Arch Masons, a member of Huron Encampment No. 28; and Huron Lodge No. 62, a Past Grand Represent- ative of both of these bodies, an officer of the Goderich branch of the Royal Arcanum and treasurer of the Sons of. Scotland. The interment will take place on Thursday afternoon in Mast, land cemetery, the funeral being under Masonic auspices.

One week from to morrow (May 24) Almede Chatcelle will he taken forth from his cell to expiate his crime by an ignominious death upon the gallows. Since sentence was passed upon him the murderer of Jessie Keith has occu- pied the condemned cell in the county jail and has been under special guard. He is in the charge of two men, one of whom guards hien by day and the other by night. After his first burst of rage against the jury which found him guilty and the judge who condemned him, Chattelle settled down into the in- different state of mind which he dis- played before the trim. He is aware, however, of the fact that his end is at hand, but this does not seem to have any effect upon him. Time is swiftly passing, out to all appearances the man for whom the 31st day of May is fraught with deep interest is not at all sorry that the lonesome days and dreary nights which he is now passing will soon be over. Solitary confinement is always a fearful punishment, but the Man who is in solitary confinhment with nothing more to look forward to than Chattelle has, would naturally, if he had any feeling at all, be in a terrible state of mind.
