BANXi WEECILEBS JAILED.:
The Consequences of Issuing False and Mis-
leading Balance Sheets.
A Melbourne, Australia, despatch eays :
•The trials of officials of the Anglo -Aus-
tralian Bank, which failed in 1892, have
resulted in Staples, the chairman of the
lank, being sentenced to penal servitude
for five years; Norwood, the auditor, to
penal servitude for two years, and Harold -
mon, the accountant, to six months' inoprie-
onment. The trials created much excite-
ment throughout Victoria, owing both to
the high standing of the accused men and
the widespread hardship attending the
feature of the Angle-Auetralian Bank, the
Melbourne Land Credit Bank, the Mercan-
tile Beek, and other finanoial institutions of
the colony. The authorities declared their
intention in November last to make an ex-
ample of the directors and managers of the
financial coiacerns who had been guilty of
fraud, and the prosecutions have been
pushed with vigor, certain directors of the
late Mercantile Benk, including Sir Matthew
Davies, the chairman, being also prosecuted
on the charge of laming a false and mis-
leading balance sheet.
An Irish Village for the Fair.
A Loudon collie says : The directors of
the Chicago World's Fair have granted
Mrs. Ernest Hart a site—covering no lees
than 25,000 sciaare feet—in the best posi-
tion of the midway plaisance, for the erec-
tion of an Irish village. This midway
mlaisance is virtually to be a street of
mai-lona something akin to that of the last
Paris exhibition. Mrs. Herb's concession
includes the right of charging gate money
and selling Irish products, and is the only
one that bas been granted to a private indi-
vidual. The proceede of the exhibit will be ds
voted to the furtherau co of the Donegel ind
trial opers,tions. Briefly spes.king, the vil-
lage will consisb of a street of cottages, in
each of which will be shown one of the in-
dustries of Donegal in operation by trained
peasants. The other chief component parts
of the village will be a replica, of one of the
eighty round towers still extant in various
parts of Ireland, with a repreeentation of
Donegal castle—a picturesciue old ruin—
and a lecture hall in which the induatries
curled on in the cottages will be explained.
They include the making of homespun -4

Princess of Wales, Princesses Christien,
Louie and Beatrice, are all preparing nick-
nacks to be sent for view to the Exhibition,
consisting of photographs, old china,
ancient royal curiosities, crocheted trim-

YORE'S ENGA.GEMENT STILL A TITLED SECRET.
The Duke of York will no doubt be mar-
ried to the gitl of his heart before the mid-
dle of next June, but the wicked world is
not likely to know the secret until after
Es.ster. The delay in the announcement of
Princess May's engagement to Prince
George is owing to the attitude of Queen
Victoria hi the matter. She has never
favored the match, and until her expressed
°tinsel:it has been obtained no official an-
nouncement can be made. It is almost
certain that the Royal assent will be with-
held. In addition to the foregoing Queen
Victoria has been most particularly desirous
that no public announcement of the engage-
ment Mould be made so long as the Duke of
Clarence lies tombless. This being the case,
the news thee the first portions of the beau-
tifal marble sarcophagus which has been
made in Italy have arrived at the Albert
Memerial Chapel, Windsor Cabbie, is not
without considerable public interest.

mAnImououdn'S AWKWARD LEGACY.
The late Duke of Marlborough in his will
left a legacy of $l00,000 to Lady Colin
Cempbell, and the:fact is creating a great
deal of popular disetteeion. Doubtlees the
legacy Was intended as a chivalroun

RUSSELL EMERGES mom SOCIAL RETIREMENT.
Bari Russell has at length emerged from
the retirement that followed on the public
exposure at his matrimonial diffieultiest, in
which all the world Was interested some
months since. The husband of the sprightly
araate.ur ekirt-dancer has long been kuown
for his devotion to the practical etudy of
eleetricity. Like the new Lord Sb. Oswald,
he is a student of science—a, feat which may,
to some extent, serve te explain his lament-
able experience with the ways of human
nature, particularly when of the feminine
gender.
BUMBLE BARONETS AEI) CITY KNIGHTS.
The present Lord Mayor of London, Ald.
Stewart Knitl, is almost bound to have a
baronetcy before his year of office is out.
Apart from the fact that the marriage of
the Duke of York would almost neoesearily
entail the bestowal of the coveted honors on
the Lord Mayor and sheriffs, it is on the
eapis that the King and Queen of Denmark
may visit England and be entertained at
the Guildhall during the season. There aro
also rumors that their Majesties of Italy
are also coming to London during the ap-
proaching summer, in which case the present
master of the Mansion House would be
compelled, following precedent, to invite
the king and queen to accept civic hospitali-
ties, in which case Mr. Stewart Knili would
have a triple claim. It is de rigueur that
when a reigning monarch is entertained by
the city, the chief magistrate receives his
baronetcy and the sheriffs the honor of
knighthood. It was only because Sir
Joseph Savory entertained the German Em-
peror that Mr. Augustus Harris, the theatre
man, was enabled to write "Sir" before
and "Kb," atter his name.
THE SWALLOW -TAIL COAT IN DANGER.
Lady Clanmorris deserves the credit of
having endeavored, as for as lies in her
power, to relieve something of the monotony
of ordinary entertainments. At an evening
party recently held by her a poudre concert
was given, at which all the performers were
costumed in the fashion of the Court of
LoniS XVI. and Marie Antoinette. The
effort was acknowledged to be most success-
ful. It decidedly looked as if the reign of
the black swallowtail is nearing an end. A
few more hostesses like Ledy Clanmorris
and the revolution would be completed.
THE PANAMA SCANDAL.
Pour of Those Involved Found Guilty
of Bribery.
THE SENTENOES IMPOSED.
A Paris cable says : Charles de Lessens,
accused of corrupting ex -Minister of Public
Works Baihaut to support the Penaina
• Lottery Bonds Bill, has been found guilty
by the jury. Baihaut, who confessed his
guilt, bee also been found guilty, and Blon-
d in, who acted as go-between in the bribery
of Itaihaut, has also been found guilty. All
• the other defendants are acquitted. These
are Merit's Fontaine, Panama canal direc-
tor • Sans Leroy, ex -deputy, who was ac-
cused of changing his vote in committee on
the Panama Bill as the result of bribery ;
Senator Buil, accused of being bribed by
• Baron Reinach : and Deputies Dugue de la
• Fauconnerie, Gebron and Antonin Proust,
-who were accused of corruption.
The court also ordered de Loops, Bien -
din, and Baihaut to pay to M. Monohicort,
tiquidator of the Panama Caned Company,
• 375,000E, the amount taken from the
• Treazury of the company and paid to
Baihaut for hie influence in favor of the
Lottery Loan Bill.
Cheelea do Lesseps received his sentenes
cehmly, although the strain of the trial has
rendered him exceedingly haggard and
nervous. When he rose before the retire.
rnent of the jury to reaffirm his innocence,
he spoke with difficulty. He told the jury
with apparent earnestnees that he had
always tried to do his duty as a director of
the company, and that where he bad erred
in judgment he had at the time suppesed
that he was acting for the best interests
of the canal and of the Slate. He repeated
briefly his charges of extortion against
Babes -at, and alluded with genuine emotion
to the eroubles which had overtaken his
father. In his testimony he had told the
truth and his conscience was clear of eelf-
reproach.
The court, after deliberation'sentenced
M. Bahasa to imprisournent for five years,
to peer a fine of 750,000L, and to the lone of
civil rights. M. Blondin was sentenced to
tmprisoument for two yore, and Charles de
Lesseps to imprisonment for one year, the
t/)30 year to run concurrently with the five
years sentence already imposed on him.
Ail three of the convicted prisoners were
-onclemned to pay the costs and damages
demanded by the civil parties to the pro-
ceedings. The sentences of Charles do
Lesteips and Blondin were mode compara-
tively light on the ground of extenuating
circumstances in their cases.

DOMINION PARLIAMENT I
The following bills were read i third
time
An .Act relating to the Canada Life As -
mimeo(' Company—Mu Melittee,
An Act to intoxporate the Woodmen of
the World—Mr. Marshall.
Ur. Sutherland moved the mond reading
of a bill from the Senate for the relief of
JAMS Belfour.
Mr. Arnyot said proof of the ohergee
made lied not been Submitted., and Wea-
n -may on oath was not suflicient ground for
sustaining such applications.
Mr. Charlton said divorces should oot
be granted on the formula under widish the
House granted them. They should only
ho given en evidence in a court of jestice.
The members of the House had not euf-
ficiant information to enable them to vote
intelligibly.
The bill was read a second time.
Mr. Woods+ (Brockville), in reply to Mr.
Wilson, said the attention of the Govern-
ment had been directed to the petition pre-
sented to the Government asking for a
change in the weights and Measures Act so
far as it related to the weight of vegetables
by the buahel. It WAS not the intention of
the Government to amend the law duriug
the present session.
Mr. Charlton moved that in the opinion
of this House the Canadian department of
the Columbia Exhibition should be closed
on Sunday.
Mr, McMullen briefly supported the reso-
lution.
Mr. Amyot said they had no right to
interfere with the liberty of thousands who
desired to see the fair on -Sundays.
Mr. Maclean (York) saw no harm in visit-
ing museums on Sundays.
Mr. Mills (Annapolis), thought the mat-
ter could be well left in the hands of the
Government. In the main he was in accord
with the resolution.
Mr. Foster said the Government had no
right to interfere. The closing of the Cana-
dian Department would make very little
difference in the number of men employed
on the grounds if the United States Govern-
ment decided to keep the fair open on Sun-
day. He was in favor of closing the Cana-
dian Department, but that department did
not by any Met= include all the Cianadian
exhibits at the fair scattered throughout
various buildings. It would be well for the
hon. gentleman not to press his resolution
to a vote.
Mr. Daly moved the adjournment of the
debate.
Mr. Charlton said the action of tho hon.
gentleman was equivalent to nying he was
not in favor of the Christian sentiment of
the country and was afraid to meet it
openly, and so adopted a parliamentary
expedient to avoid the question. This he
characterized as a cowardly course. He
contended that the opening of the fair on
the Lord'a day would have a demoralizing
and debasing effect on the people.
Mr. Paterson (Brant) thought the Cana-
dian Government would be in order to
adopt a Sunday closing resolution as the
American Congress, he believed, had
adopted such a resolution.
Mr. Daly's amendment was carried on a
vote of 76 to 31, Messrs. Mignault, Leduc
and Bechard voting with the Government
and Mr. O'Brien voting against the Gov-
ernment,.
Mr. Reid moved that in the opinion of
the Houee " cheese " product and manu-
facture of any foreign country should not
be admitted for entry or "in transit" un-
less the name of the country is pleinly
marked, stamped, branded or labelled in
legible letters, both on each cheese and the
box containing the same, so as to indicate
the country of its origin. Canadian cheeee,
Lo contended, had been injured to the ex-
tent of one cent a pound, or $1,118,700, to
the Canadian manufacturer in the Eeglish
market last year by reason of American
cheese being paesed off for Canadian.
Mr. Rens (Dundee) said the Canadians
were chiefly to be blamed, who imported
American cheese and exported it to England
as Canadian cheese.
Mr. Foster said the transib question was
O delicate one, and any interference should
be very carefully considered. Canada had
a large transit trade through the United
States. The Government would not lose
sight of the question, and he thought the
hon. member had better withdraw his
motion.
Sir Richard Cartwrighe mid ten million
pounds of cheese not manufectured in Can-
ada was exported as Canadian cheese last
year. There was no doubt a strong induce-
ment to exporters to Send an inferior ertiele
as Canadian cheese, which bad achieved an
enviable reputation in Great Britain.
The motion was withdrawn.
Mr. Casey drew the attention of the
House, to a epeech made by Mr. Clarke Wal-
lace in Kingston, 10 which ho endoreed the
expressions of opinion made by the Orange-
men in Mater.
Mr. Speeker odd the hon. gentleman was
introducing a eubject which would lead to a
de bate.
Mr. Casey paid he would bring the matter
to the attention of the House on the first
opportunity.
Mr. Ives, in answer to Mr. Davin, said
137 chargets had been preferred against
Lawrence Herchmer'Commissioner of the
Northwest Mounted Police. Fourteen had
been proved, and 23 partly proved ; but
none of the charges affected his honesty,
business capacity, or effidenoy. He lied
been found liable to lose his temper. The
Governtnent had the case under con-
sideration.
Mr. Foster, in reply to Mr. Mulook, said
the Chevalier barley imported by the Gov-
ernment and supplied to farmers for seed
was considered pure by the English seeds -
men, and contained no admixture -of other
barley. The barley had been tested in re-
lation to its fertility at the Experimental
Farm and forted very sestiefactory, and had
been old to farmer, freight peirl, elightly
over the cost, at $4 a bag. The Government
did not intend to import any other seed
grain for the Canadian immerse
Mr. Foster, in ansvver to Mr. Rider, said
the electrical machines for the compila-

Mr. Lister, on the orders of the day bein
called, desired to call the attention of th
House to the position of the Government i
refueing to rauify the French Treaty after i
had been signed by the plenipotentiaries.
Mr. Foeter said he had not intended t
convey the impression that the treaty woul
not be ratified.
Mr. Davies said a treaty of suoh import-
ance should not be adopted without a pro-
longed. discussion by the House.
Mr. Foster said that notwithstanding the
step which had been taken, he thought
it would be no insult to France if the Cana-
dian Government refused to accept the treaty
should it be considered unsatisfactory. His
worda had conveyed the impression he
desired, end unless conditions changed he
would abide by them.
Mr. Tarte said if Sir Charles Tupper

gula.teons of the Americen Goverument from
their consuls in this country on all goods

Judge McAdam writes : This count hos

yet been determined that the united effort)
of friends or etraegers to persuade a litigant
from further conteution is unlawful. In-
deed, Holy Writ advisee us that "Bled

Mr. Tomkine' claim for damages because
he was expelled from the church Judge
McAdam distnimes in this way : This cor-
poration haa no right over the Beptiet
ministry. Tem plehatiff might, as well have
alleged that tho defendants had expelled
him from the Contereee of the United States
if he had been a member of It.
Jedgo MeAclern tittle defines the church
as viewed by the law : The church rules
in matters eeelestastical and the State in
mattere civil. T I le legel notion of a church is e
oonsecreted place dedicated to the worship
of God by pereone united by profession of
the same faith, who meet for religious ser-
vice. A church has power to adopt its own
rules for tadmission and expulsion, and
when, in the regular exercise of thet power,
a member is expelled, the courts have no
control over the matter. Glievances of thie
personal character should not be aired in a
court, with the publicity sure to follow, but
settled within the confines of the church to
which the party belongs and wherein they
originated. It is, indeed, a sea commentary
for a minister of the papal to publicly
charge the church to whieh he is ordained
to preach with conspiracy, fraud and
