These are Texas, Illinois, New York, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. And, with the exception of Texas and Iowa, mainly grazing States, none of them are very much ahead of us. Kansas leads us by 500,000; Missouri by 300,000; Illinois whealt includes the great stock yards of Chicago, by 800,000; and New York, with treble our population, by less than 300,000. On the Other hand Ohio, which has 80 per cent. more people than this province, and Pennsylvania, which ranks next to New York in population are from two to three hundred thoussnd behind. The success of Ontario's stock exhibits at the Worlds Fair is largely explaine& in these figures. We had the numbers to draw upon. , x Canada had seven steamers and two schooners engaged in the fishery pro- tection gondol° last year, and the cost of maintaining the same was a little over. $70,000. This seems a good deal of money', but the importance of our fish- ery industry more than warrants the expenditure. That industry employs nearly 68,000 men, 1,104 vessels, 81,- 508 boats and the total value of the plant engaged -including the craft mentioned -is over eight and three- quarter million dollars. The output is commenaurate with the capital employ- ed. Nearly twenty one million dollers I worth of fisk was taken from Canadian waters by Canadian fishermen in 1893 This was the biggest catch ever made and just about doable that of twenty years a o. Nava Scotia of course leads all the other provinces, her catch being valued at 86,407,000. Ontario's share was $1,694,000, a decrease as compared with '92, but Bridal Colum- bia more than evened bhis up by an in- crease from $3,849,000 to $4,443,000, • These are plain, easily understood fig - urns, and they show what an immense k heritage we have in. our sea and lake fisheries and hove careful we ehouk1 be in coneerving x x x 414 awarda foe ehose et the Chicago Fair Canada obtained 309,..• and the 'United States 45 only.

He ha's to keep a greater variety of goods -a variety which is annually increasing, and whiola necess- arily entails a larger oapitel. Com- plaints have been made by wholesale houses that retailers are gebting into the way of ordering a variety of goods in very smell quantities, but 24 so doing they are only . taking ree,eonable pre - cations to avoid a loss which nuast ultimately affect the wholesale.,. Country customers are no waders alotost as much up-to-date as their town relatives, and are quite as exigeatit, if not more Bo, in their requirements. .Postal and railway facilites afford them rapid and easy means of obtaining what they want in town, and, tailless the country trader can supply them with exaotly what they want, they have no scruple abut send- ing a couple of hundred miles or more for them, for whioh the paroel post now offers immense facilities. The country trader is thus placed in a quandary. If he 18 asked for something which he has not in stook, the customer is obliged to go elsewhere for it, and this temporary transfer of custom frequently resulta in a permanent loss of business. Should, however, the trader err in the other direction, he may fiad himself with a lot of depreciated stook on his hands at end of theseason.

WM TABERNACLE IN ASHES Dr. Talmage's Church for the Third pule Destroyed by Fire. ONLY THE WALLS STANDING AU Adjoining: Hotel Also Gutted by the Plumes and Several Other Build - its Badly Damaged -Total X•ess About alfliltjon • Dollars. • Buocnomr, May lit -Bev. Dr. 9.`a1 - flange's T.:my taberoacle, at the corner of Clinton and Grease avenues, Brooklyn, was burned yesterday. The Rotel Regent adjoining, and several dwelling houses ia the vicinity were also destroyed. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000, This is the third time Dr. Talmage has lost his churoh by fire. He was in the churels when tha Are started, surrounded by a number of his congregation, but all escaped. He was moved to tears as he witnessed the destruction of the beautiful edifice. Pour firemen were iujured during the fire, uot Neale- however, and. there was great excitement and scenes of pante • as the fire progressed. The fire was diseovered just after the congregation had been dismissed from the morning services.. • A small boy ruehedirttoe' the church throu,gh one of the open doors and informed the sexton that he had seen spinoke coming out of the windows ou• the Waverly aTellUe side of the church. The boy volunteered to go up in the back of the organ to see if it wae there. He did so, and. a second later he appeared before the three gentlemen with his face black- ened and almost suffocated from smoke. All he could say was that he discovered the fire in the back of the organ. Dr. Talmage and Messrs. Day and Moody then started for the organ,but before they enald get near it. flames burst from the top. The gentlemen then made a hurried exit. The fiames spread with lightning rapid. Sty, and the sparks fiew la all directions. The greatest excitement prevailed. • The people living in the Hotel Regent were just getting ready for dinner when the fire was discovered. They fled from their apartments leaving everything behind them. The firemen were kept busy put- ting out small fires which occurred in the houses near by, and in the vioitity of four blocks of the church and hotel. The Summerfield M. E. church at Greene and Washington avenues, also caught fire from flying sparks and damaged the build- ing to the extent of $85,000. Despite the efforts of the firemen the flames spread quickly and the adjoining houses caught fire, five on Greene avenue sustaining damage all the way from $5,000 to $15,000. While the firemen were at work on the houses on Greene avenue flames were seen coming from the roofs of the four houses on Washington. They were extinguished after having damaged each house to the extent of $1,500. Two houses and e stable on Waverly avenue were also damaged to the extent of from 62,000 to $5,000 each. The Tabernacle and Hotel Regent were completely gutted. Nothing remains but the walls. The total loss is estimated. at a little over a million dollars. The loss on the Hotel Regent, including the buildings. paintings, IMO the guests' household goods will amount to $600,000. The loss on the Tabernacle is about $400,000` and the ad, joining buildings are reported to be dams aged to the extent of $5,000. Perhaps the loss which will grieve Dr. Talmage the most is that of the memorial stones which he brought from the east and -which were set in the wall ar the right of the organ. Russel Sage who holds a mortgage on the tabernacle of $125,000 and interest amounting to $15,000 said the tabernacle was insured and he would. stand by the church and help them get on their feet again. Dr. Talmage will start on his trip around the world to -day, The tabernacle was in- sured for $180,000 in four companies. THE EMBARGO QUESTION. • Sir Charles Tupper and Mr. Chaplin En- gage in a Controversy. LONDON, May 14. ---The question of the admission of Canadian cattle into Great Britain and the efforts to lift the existing embargo • has developed a controversy which in certain high circles bids fair to grow sultry. The letter whioh Sir Charles Tapper addressed to the Times on the 5th inst., combating statements made in the House of Commons on the 13th ult. by Mr. Henry Chaplin, and to the effect that cat- tle imported from Canada in the years 18901 1891 and 1892 carried pleuro -pneu- monia with them and infected the herds in Scotland, embraced an unqualified de- nial. of the speaker's assertions. • Mr. Chaplin thereupon renews the at- taok in reply to Sir Charles' denial, and reiterates his statement that the respond. bility for the disease in Scotland in 1892 was with Canadian cattle imported. that year. Scotland, he adds, was absolutely free from the disease prior to that. Re- garding the proposal to exerapt Canadian cattle from slaughter at the port of de- barkation, Mr. Chaplin says that in his opinion such a course would expose both owners and breeders to a great risk. No government," said he, "would be justified in sanctioning it," and concluded, "I will resist with every means la my power any attempt to give effect to the views upon the Board of Agriculture by the Marquis of Ripon." • RIpTING IN DUBLIN.

Gualianale Man., May 10. -Antonio Luciano, one of the Italians sentenced to death for the murder of the Italian scis- soes-grinder, ems hanged this morning. Lumen° and Antonia Degidio were both 'senteneed to death for the crime, the evi- dence against them being phrely circum- stantial. Subseqoently, Luciauo coafessed to killing his compatriot, but claimed it was due to an accident. • The Italian. Government intervened. on behalf of the condemned men. The Governor-General yesterday signed. an order -in -council com- muting the sentence of Degidio to impris- oument for life, but allowed the law to take its course with respect to Luciano. The condemned man displayed great nerve ou the scaffold, and appeared pre- pared for death. After repeating the lit- any after the priest, Lucanio made a speech in broken. English, as follows '1 would like • everybody not to believe what the papers say about the crime. I die innoceut, like Jesus Christ. He died • for everybody; I die for my partner, De- gido. I made the confession so that both might not die. We are both innocent. I ain a stranger in a strange 'country; no- body believes me, but Jesus. I pray you, gentlemen, believe me. Good-bye. I no kill the man.' Nobody believes me but Jesus. I leave my wife and two chil- dren." He thou told the hangman he was ready. and shortly after the drop fell. A CONSUMMATE VILLAIN.

TIP'S TRAGIC DEATH. The Famous Central Park Elephant Dies by Poison. Neter Yong, May 12. -Tip, the big ele- phaut in the Central Park menagerie, died , last evening after many hours of agony. ! Such a botched piece of work has never Scan accomplished by any set of men who • have professed to have the slightest skill in killing wild animals or to save animals from unnecessary cruelty and suffering. i From 6 a. et until 4 p. m. the great king of the forest went shuddering, from one convnIsion into another under the influence of the cyanide of pottasium which had been given to him. The first dose of the -poison was not sufficient to put a quick and painless end to his life. Atter many consultations between Supt. Smith of the menagerie, Supt. Hankinson of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Secretary Burns it was re- solved at 3 o'clock to administer another dose of poison. The second dose finally proved effective.

Governor Stone pardoned him about a month ago for the pure of having him used •as a witness against the Taylor brothers. • It is reported that the Taylors had ar- ranged with Meeks to give him atoam of horses end wagon so that he could leave the county and not be present at the time of trial. The mother of Meeks says that her son received a letter from the Taylors at Browning telling hish to be in readiness to go away, and that Meeks waited until midnight when two men whom. Meeks said were George and Bill Taylor came to their home in a wagon. Meeks and, his family got into the wagon and started for Brown- • ing.

The fiends then seheed large stones and beat the life out of the two children leaving the third one for dead. In the morning the living child re- gained her senses and went to the resi- dence ot Mr. Carter near by. She told her es -fable story- and a boy who was sent to the Taylor farm to investigate verified the horror by fisding the bodies of the rest of the family. The Carter boy hap- pening'to meet George Taylor unwittingly told him of the murder. Taylor lost DO time in starting for Browning on horse- back. There he met his brother and both left hurrieclly on horsebacks On the strength of descriptions furnished by the living girl, the sheriff has arrested Sharon McCullough of Gould and George Howlett linLe.ime county as accomplices in the ANDREWS NOT GUILTY. The "Doctor"and His Wife A.cquitted of Murder by the Jury. Toxic:neve, May 12. -The jury in the assize court yesterday 'attuned a verdict of "riot guilty" in the case of Ransome Andrews and his wife, Alice. justice Meredith, in his charge to the jury, reviewed the evidence, and put in a forcible manner the special points which the jury would have to consider. The special points were: Did. Andrews receive the deceased for an •unlawful purpose? Was it reasonable that $15 was paid for lying in, or did it seem like the price of abortion? They must bear in mind Doo Andrews' story that deceased herself had done an act to bring ou a miscarriage ? Was it likelier that a dreadtul crime of that character could be committed by an inexperieaccd young WOIllan than by the head and hand of an old man? Was the raauner in which V* girl svas removed from the Andrews' house consistent with the theory of the defence? If the defence was to be believed they must unhesitating- ly acquit the prisoners. In conclusion, the judge asked the jury to lay aside all they had ever heard about the oate; apart from the evidence, and all preconceived ideas. The chug° was said. by a Queen's counsel to be one Of the best ever delivered. The jury's verdict of "Not guilty " was received ainid great excitement in the court. The prisoners burst Into tears on hearing their innocence declared. They are nob yet free, however, the county crown attorney having other charges to prefer. against Andrews. HIGHLY COLOREeS CASE. A.
