of 1890 and the sale of godds. act of 1893,
and other consolidating statutes heve es-
tablished the practicability and benefit
of codifying 13ritis1i commercial law, and
that it is highly expedient that the cones
menial lave of the wbole British Empire
should now be embodied in a code. and
that, :therefore, the Government be sale-
snorialized by the congress to initiate
steps necessary in order to the appoints
rnent for the purpose of.draftiug suoh a
code of a commiesion on whiali the
United Kingdom and all the colonies and
countries embraced in the empbee shall
be duly represented. Resolved, that in
the opinion of this congress the Jew re-
lating to bills of exchange sbould be
xnade uniform in the British Empire,
also that uniformity with the laws of
eantinental powerhould, wherever
practicable, be VStablished. internation-
ally. Resolved, that its view of the diffi-
culties correspondents experience in pre-
paring closed replies to lettere sent to
foreign countries, and espeoially the
British Colonies and dependencies (a
facility which exists in regard to open
postcards and telegrams), the Council
of the London C11(1,1111)6: of Commerce be
requested on behalf of this congress to
communicate with the Imperial and
Colonial postal authorities for the pur-
pose of recommeeding that the reply
letter card (used by Frame: and Ceylon
for inland torrespondence) be adopted by
the British Imperial postal service as a
means of facilitating aud increasing in-
tercourse through the British Respire;
that the reply letter card is applicable to
international communication= the same
way as the open reply post card, and
that the recent objeetions raised in re-.
gard to it can be met; that at the Postal
Union Congress, eo be held. at Washing-
ton, 1897, the 13ritish and Colonial Post-
master -General be requested to take
steps for the exteusion of the reply letter
card to internatiouta postage, as an effi-
cient substitute for the proposed interna-
tional postage stamp, and. less open to
the objections raised on the ground of
the finaneial diflieulty involved."
The following rose:lotion of the Mon-
treal Chamber et te»ninerect was adopted:
"Whereas a reduction in postal rates
would facilitate and increase the com-
mercial relations of tho mother country
and her many colonies and. poeeessions;
and whereas, the load rates of these sev-
eral colonies must necessarily vary ma
-cording to their special condition of ex-
istenee, populetion and transport; there-
fore, resolved, Glint an Inmerial postal
=lion be organized on the basis of an
extension of the local rates of each of
the several Governments entering the
union to the postal matter addressed re-
spectfully to these various portions of
the British Empire,"
Sir John Lobboek, Bart, M. P., in
behalf of the London Chamber of Cons -
MOM, moved the following resolution in
regard to arbitration for ineernational
*disputes: "That in the opinion of this
congress the present gigantic: expendi-
ture on Military prepneatioes imposes an
intolerable burden on national revenue
and an immense addition to human la-
bor; that the settlement of international
differences by force of arms is barbarous
and unworthy of civilized nations, and
that differences or disputes arising be-
tween different Governments which can-
not be adjusted by diplomatic agency
should, as far as possible, be referred. to
arbitration. This resolution called forth
an animated discussion, It was finally
amended by striking out all the first
part, ending with the word "nations,"
and the amendedform merely suggest•
ine arbitration when possible was
adpted.
Mr. Cookshutt of Toronto moved an
amendment to Sir John Lubbock's reso-
lution favoring arbitration Whenever the
awards were enforceable. He criticized
the United States regarding their action
in the Bering Sea and Alabama matters
and contended that arbitration was use•
less unless the awards were enforced.
Mr. Cockshutt's remarks elicited loud
protests, and , the CI:airman deprecated
his line of argument. Mr. Cockshutt
then apnlogized, and Sir John Lubbock's
resolution, verbally modified, was
adopsecl.
The congress taso adopterl resolutions
in favor of the formation of a consulta-
tive imperial council and of a uniform
copyright law throughnnt the empire.

WILL COME TO TORONTO,
The National Conference of Cluvitiles to
street Here Next Year—A. Hot Contest.
Grand Rapids, June 12. --One of the
most exeiting election contents,in the
history of the National Conferences of
Charities and Corrections closed • lost
night,when the assembled delegates de-
cided to change the next place of meet -
lug from New Orleans to Toronto. The
various states interested in securing this
great meeting have spared DO effort to
advance their claims. The Committee on
Time and Place held meetings On three
different days and considered official in-
vitations from New Orleans, Canada,
Kansas and Pennsylvania. They decided
in favor of New Orleans and the question
was considered settled. The Canadian
delegation, however, did not despair, and
after some vigorous electioneering it be-
camesraanifest that while the committee
wanted New Orleans the conference as a
body favored Canada. Matters remained
in this shape until the evening .meeting,
when the committee banded in Its report.
When the report •was presented recom-
mending New Orleans, SeeretarY Bink-
neli,tof the State Bernd of Charieles,
moved that the name of Toronto be sub-
stituted, and' that Mr. J. J. Kelso of that
city be given five minutes in Which to
show cause why the change should be
made. This was agreed to, and Mr.
Kelso was warmly applauded, as he ad-
vanced to the pletforrn, He made an elo-
quent plea for his city and country and
promised one of the„heartiese receptions
over .aecorded to any conference. He
stated that the city council of Toronto
had sent two of its aldermen to speak for
its people, while the Government of On -
tette had also joined heartily in the in-
vitation, He read the fralowing telegram
from Lieut. -Col. the Hon. .7. M. Gibson,
eSeoretary of the province: "Regret press-
ing business detained me, Hope conven-
tion will meet in Toronto next year.
'Consider yourself authorized to convey
cordial invitation." This message was
loudly applauded and had a splendid effect
on the large gathering. Mr. Kelso con-
cluded by urgiug a visit to. Canada in
the interest of the great work of advanc-
ing the higher and better civilization re-
garding which both countries were fully
agreed. Ma Faulkner then spoke for
Kansas, Mr. H.eynactusa for New Orleans
and Dr. Delefield for Philadelphia. A
vote Was taken and Toronto came ont
victorious amid, tne greatest applause,
General Brinkerhoff of Ohio moved to
make the choice unanimous,with the re-
mark that Toronto was one of the finest
convention cities in the world, and. this
was agreed to without an opposing voice.
Alderman Graham and Joliffe, who,
evitit the 'other delegates from Canada,
had done good service for their country,
were the recipients of ninny congratula-
tions.
The securing of the convention for
Toronto is a big thing for that city.
There aro from 500 to 600 delegates front
every corner of ehe United States, and it
is believed that next year the membership
will be fully 1,000. Outside of its great
influence the conference is a dreaded me
quisition front a commereial standpoint,
as the members are a wealthy class of
men and women who liberally benefit the
city they visit. The pluck of Toronto in
staying in the fight to the eud was gm-
precieted by the delegates, who admire
courage and earnestness of purpose to
the fullest extent. The gathering will
probaby take place in June, evhigis the
period of the year usually decided upon
in the past.

tirely. The evideuce presented was upon
the same lines as that previously given.
.A. despatch to tbe Times from Pre-
toria says: "The feeling of unrest in
Government circles Continues, and the
movements of British troops are watched
with the greatest suspicion. Several
commandants have notified their men
not to leave their distriots, whioh means
to prepare for active service. This is
probaaly due, to an unfounded rumor of
a conflict between the Boer border guard
and British troops to the norbh."
Lieut. Ellett, grandson of President
Kruger, who arrived here last week, was
called to the stand. Lieut. Elloff testified
that letters found in Jameson's baggage,

gersclorp, showed that the saddles and

followed by Shields. The woman 'got
away as fast as she could, but was
caught by Shields in a neighboring lot
and dragged. several rods. Her screams
attracted the attention of the neighbors,
who quickly ran to her assistance.
Among the crowd was Mr. Themes
Moors, a white man. Moors carried. a
aatchet, and made an attaok on the ne-
gro to compel the latter to leave the
woman alone. Shields was enraged by
the presence of Moors, and turned on
the latter. He grabbed the hatchet, and
nonnnenced hacking Moors before the
spectators could preveut it. Shields also
brought into use an old broken bottle,
and with this he belabored the white
man over tho head. Finally Moors escaped
from his assailant and fled, very badly
injured.. His head was cut in several
places, and his face smashed to a jelly.
He was carried unconscious into a neigh-
boring house. Abort 1 o'clock Shields
was arrested, and locked up. Moors eves
afterwards removed to the hospital. The

Suffering From Asthma, From Which
He Has Been Restored to Health When
His case Was Looked 'Upon as Holleiesa.
From the News, Bowenanville.
During the past five years the Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills have developed into
a household word, and froin several cases
that have come under our personal ob-
servation, there is not the least doubt in
our minds but that they are a boon to
mankind, and in scores of Instances
have saved life, when everything else had
failed. The clue of Mr. Sharp, wbose
case we publisbed some time ago, was
one of the mod remarkable that we
have heard of. To -day he is as well as
aver he was in his life, and is daily
lenocking about in all weathers attend-
ing to his ferns duties. Recently another
trluraph or Pink Pills came under our
observation, and, after iaterviewing the
person cured, he gave permissionto make
the facts public, and we will give the
story in als own words. Mr. John Haw-

that distressing disease and gradually

down for six weeks, As it VOs a hard-
ship for bini to talk, all he asked was to
be let alone. During this time he had
been doctoring and had tried nearly
everything, and spent over 1;100 but got
no relief.Finlly,ome one recommended
him to take Pink Pills. He thought
they could do birn no harm at any rate,
and procuring a supply he commenced
taking them. After he had taken three
boxes he fonnd that he was improving,
and after taking two more boxes, to the
astonishment of all. lie walked across
the field to the woods and out up a cord
of wood. He continued the pills and took
two niers boxes, making seven in all,
and to -day is as well os' be ever was, but
always keeps a box of Pink Pills in the
house. The neighbors all began to ask
him what he had done, as the asthma
had left him, and they never expected to
hear of him being well again. To one and
all he tells that it was Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills that did it, and has recommended
them to scores of people since his recov-
ery.
With such wonderful cures as these oc-
curring in all parts of the Dominion it
is no wonder that Dr.. Williams' Pink
Pills have achieved a greater reputation
than any other known medicine. All
diet is asked for them is a fair trial and
the results are rarely disappointing.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills strike at the
root of the disease, 'driving it from the
system and restoring the patient to
health and strength. In cases of paralysis,
spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia, sciat-
ica,- rheumatism, erysipelas, scrofulous
troubles, etc., these pills are superior to
all other treatment. They are also a spe-
cific for the troubles which make the
lives of so many women a burden, and
speedily restore the rich glow of health
to pale and sallow cheeks. Men broken
down by overwork, worry or excesses,
will find in Pink Pills a certain cure.
Sold by all dealers or sent by mail post-
paid, at fioc a box, or six boxes for
$2.50, by addressing the Dr. Williatns'
Medicine Company, Brockville, Ont., or
Schenectady, N. Y. Beware of imitations
and substitutes alleged to be "just as
good."
Pretty Story About*. DOZ.
The dog has often been called man's
best friend, and oo (me knows how often
his presence in the bouse is worth more
than any amount of moral maxims for
the children. A very suggestive little, in-
stance of this cropped up recently et
Croydon, on the hearing of a summons
for keeping a dog witheut a license. The
.offense was admittea, but the defoodaet's
ife pleeded that she only kept the ani-
mal because the ohildren were so fond
of it. At that moment she had a lieele
girl ill, and she would not take her
medicine 'unless the mother pretended
to give it to the dog first. No doubt the
child's principles wero, "Love sne,•love
my dog' and if the nauseous medicine
NSW necessary for the good of the anis
tho doggie's little friend. thought
it mast be good enough for eet. No won-
der the magistrate ticiamened the case.
This Ftiiry reveals snob a valuable dis-
cs -leery in domestic me.dioine that we cer-
tainly think this dog ought to be allowed
to get liberty to have nolicense.—West-

LIVE STOCXse MARKETS.
There was perhaps a slightly firmer
feeling in the market to -day, but prices
did not advanee at all. Buying for Mon -
treat was a little livelier to -day, there
being about ten loads of butchers' cattle
taken for that market, although reports
from there are no better. Offerings were
liberal, there being 63 carloads of stuff
in, which included 438 sheep and lambs,
800 hogs, 75 calves and about 20 ia,slich
cows and springers. Export men were
looking round a little more alertly to-
day, but still they bought only slowly.
Cables are still low.
Export Cattle—There was a little
stronger feeling, but rices ruled low all
day. Quite a few conic remained unsold
at the close of the market. Nothing went
higher than. 40 per lb to -day, in fact that
price was hardly touched. The general
run of deals were made at from $3.80 to
$3.80 per cwt. Several transactions were
made at as low as 334e per lb. Buying
for France and Belga= has not opened
up again yet.
Butolsers' Cattle—Prices ruled for good
loads at from 2assc to 30 per lb. Themar-
kat was no better than on Tuesday, al-
though, perhaps the feeling was slightly
stronger. Only a few pickled head went
to 3 1-8c to 31eSo per lb., taken by the
dealers who buy nothing hut prime
beeves. The regular run of the market
may be quoted as follows: Good to choice,
2e.eas to 13 1. -SO per lb; medium to good,
2e-rea to 2 5-80 per lb; coinnaon, 2c to
2e1c per lb, and hardly any salefor these
latter cattle.
Stooners and Feeders—Offerings were
not very heavy, but the demand seemed
to be fully supplied. Good half -fat feed.-
ers fetch from 2esee to 3e per lb,' some
extra fancy ones going hardly any higher
than the latter price. For light stockers
there is practically to demand, and they
are inerely noininal at 934o to 2 erec per lb.
Sheep and Lambs—The market; was
dull for sheep and a little firnser for
lambs. Some sheep for export sold at
from eeeec to 23(to per 10, odd ones touch-
ing. 3c per lb. Good grain•fed yearlings
rule tet about 4c per lb, with the wool
off, for imtchers' immedinte use. Lambe
sold readily at from $2.05 to &tee per
bead', quite a few going at $3 to $3.25
eacth.
Hogs—This market was barely steady.
Light offerings caused prices to remain
as they were. Choice selections of bacon
hogs sold for 40 per lb, weighed oft the
cars. Other kinds of hogs are quiet ex-
eept stores. A few stores are wanted.
Thick fat hogs sell frnna $3.e0 to $3.50
per cwt. Light fat fetch about $3.80, and
stores $3.90 per cwt.
