A Delusion and a Snare. The water -tight compartment is one of the most soothing and reessuring devices which shipbuilders have put into practical use. Anybody who has ever crossed the ocean Ten one of the modern steamers of which the Elbe was a type cannot have failed to experience a sense of abiding security from the explanations of the offic- ers of the ship about the water.tight com- partments. Not only the longitudinal bulkheads, but those which run across the ship,are so large and firm aud so constantly in the way of tho passengers that they rapidly learn to feel a greet respect for them. Tnere is not au officer of the ship, from the doctor to.the captain, who cannot explain to the entire satisfaction of every passenger that, owing to the bulkhead and 343 03 con:partment system, it is absolutely im- 9,675 83 possible to sink the ship by a collision with another vessel. The custorreary wind-up of any discussion on this subject is the statement by the officer: -"Why, this ship might be our in two,and sc. perfectly would these water -tight compartments wark that boeh ends would float independently of each other." The fact that a little Scotch steamer crashed into one of these ships the other day and sunk it in twenty minutes does not eeem to have any bearing upon the case. 7,040 45 1.5e 46 123 05 679 30 3,162 09 2,096 22 1,960 13 631 82 713 21 1,853 39 7,097 51 Bank of Commerce $ 224,786 70 Central Bank , 91 Dominiou Bank 120 37 Federal Bank - 73 68 Bank of Harnilcon 15,017 75 Imperial Bank .. ...... .. , .. , 4,660 68 Ontario 13ank 8,941 70 Standard Bank 26,80 94 Traders' Bank, . , ritrws3,41204 -- Total , 268,816 77 Against this amonnt must be placed the following overdrawn aceounts :- A, British or French ?

The young man glancee carelessly around the room and sees on the table before him two packages of currency under a paper weight. On each package there is pinned a piece of paper bearing the magic words, "One hundred thousand francs," _A foolhardy idea, flashes through the head of the young man. " Nobody will notice," he says to himself, " if I only for a minute in my life have 200,- ' 000 francs in my pocket." With this he feverishly seizes the currency.

SIR WILLIAM VAN HORNE'S RETURN TO MONTREAL. --- Ke is In the Rest of Health -11e Laughs at the Story of a Itival Uallway Line -Jt - proved Prospects 01 1110 Canadian Pa- clde Hfillway-BnfillteSS outlook on the Continent -The Price of lenient. Sir William Van Horne, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, who was a passenger on the over -due steamship Teutonic, arrived at his home in Montreal the other day. He was busy at work in his office when a correspondent oalled upon him, Sir William Van Horne's look of health was the best answer to the silly story that was recently put in circulation that he intended to resign the presidency of the great railway company, and that one of the objects of his trip to Europe had been to try and re-establish his health. There was the also equally unfounded story that his trip had some conneotion with the floating of a lorn. "The object of my trip," to use Sir William's own words, "had nothing to do with businees in any shape or form. The trip was simply for relaxation, being the first holiday I had had for years. I had intended going by way of Gibraltar to the Mediterranean, but the Mediterranean boat full that I had to go by way of En Sir William smiled when told of the story that he intended to resign. " That story was started, I believe, in New York," he ssaid,tar eiwhere all such yarns are usually td,, .ATLANTIO RAILWAY SCHEME. Sir William had not paid muob attention to business while he was away, but there were one or two matters that have been engaging public attention on which the correspondent phought It might be of inter- est to the public to hear his views. Such, for instance, as the proposed Atlantic rail- way scheme, which has lately been receiv- ing much attention on the London market. The President of the Canadian 'Pacific railway evidently did not think the matter worthy Of any serious consideration. "It is the most absurd rubbish," he said, "1 am surprised that anybody in Canada should think enough of the matter to regard it seriously. Of course, it is not surprising that people in London thought there was something in 01, and that it was made a handle on the Stock Exchange against the Canadian Pacific, but there is not, 1 believe, a teu-year-old school boy in Canada who cannot see the absurdity of the Armstrong scheme. Of course it is just mall silly things that are often used to depreciate a stocw, as people at a distance cannot know what these things amount to. Even as it a as, I don't think the scheme would have attracted much attention at all had it not been stated that the Dominion Government had made a guarantee -a statement which has since been officially contradicted." ••-,s ATLANTIC SERVICE. "Whitt about the fast Atlantic service scheme?" was asked. "Well," replied Sir William,"Mr. Hud - dart is, I believe, still pegging away at it, but nothing much is expeoted to resultin the present condition of the money market. Times are very unfavorable, too, at pre- sent for such a project, and I believe it will have to wait until the skies clear. Canadian securities do not atand as well as they might,but there is a feeling of depres- sion everywhere." BUSINESS OUTLOOK. "What do you think of the present busi- ness conditions on this continent ?" "I cannot really understand wby busi- ness should be bad, and therefore I do not see the remedy. In the States, of course the real cause was the enormous shortage in the corn crop of last year, and there will be a better state of affairs when a good corn crop appears in sight. Here the low price of produce, of course, affects business, but this is not sufficient, to account for existing cond tin ns. " • "The Canadian Pacific has suffered con- siderably from the prevailing depression, has it not ?" "Yea. The earnings have shown a con- siderable falling off for a long time, and we were obliged to do just what every other business concern has to do, cut down expenses according to our income. Up to this time there has been a considerable re- duction made in the working force, but we have n..t gone to the extent of reducing wages. It is far from pleasant to drop a inan from the service, and only ordinary prudence requires us to do it. I hope we may soon have a turn for the better, so as to enable us to re-employ all the men who have been dropped. A railway company is not different from a manufacturing com- pany in such a case, except that it ie impossible to reduce the wol king foree to the same extent, as we cannot shut up entirely, as a manufacturing concern can do when business is bad." THE PRICE OF WHEAT. The Canadian Pacific president is often quizzed about, his predictions regarding wheat, but his faith is apparently still unshaken, and he ventured another. "I can only say," he remarked, when the topic was mentioned, "that I a,ne utterly unable to understand the continued low prim of wheat, in view of the low stooks of the world's markets, of the large shortage of acreage in Russia, and of the bad crops reported from the Argentine. I believe that the world will wake up some morning and find itself short of wheat, and that prices will then go up in a hurry. But I don't know, and I don't Mihail anybody elee does,what the near future will bring forth. Matters generally at present are in a peculiar condition, and the situation will have to work itself out, So far as we ere concerned 011 Canada, we are much better off than our neighbors to the south, but of course there is not much satisinotion to be found in that. But that an improvement is bound to take place nobody doubts." In England onlye25 per oent. of the suicides aro women, ''nIre1and27per cont., in Scotland 30 per ecnt. ONTARIO LEGISLATURE, lamaa DEBATE ON VIE ADDRESS. The otlebete on the addeesa, the first km - mai discussion of the eession, took plump on Friday. Mr. john Craig, of East Welling- ton, opened the debate with a review of the legislation outlined in the Queen's speech, and Mr. Donald MoNish, of West Elgin, isooncied this in an expellent speech. Mr. Marter mute a general statement of the Opposition's ease. Sir Oliver Mowat re- plied, and Mr. Efaycook spoke for the Patrons, deolaring that his peaty did not intend to act as obstructionists, but were an evidence of the increase of the spirit of free- dom from party lines. When these speeches had been delivered the reply to the address was passed without opposi- tion. OTHER PROGEEDINGS. The main busiuese of the day over,a little business was done before the adjournment. The interim appropriations were brought down, and, with Mr. Awrey as Chairman, the House went into committee of the whole and paesed 9500,000, for use in the civil service until the voting of the annual sup- plies. Hon. Mr. Dryden invited the mem- bers to visit the Ontario Agricultural Farm at Guelph on Wecinesda,y,the train to leave early in the morning and return in the evening. He urged all who could to come and see the farm, Sir Oliver Mowat an- nounced that the Treasurer would make his finanoial statement on Thursday. The House then adjourned at 5.20 p.m. Sir Oliver Mowat moved that a special committee be appointed consisting of twelve members, for the purpose of striking the select standing committees of the House for the present session, said coma -atm to consist of Messrs. Gibeon (Hamilton), Hardy, Dryden, Awrey, McKay (Oxford), Conmee , Fergureon, abater, Whitney, Willoughby, Haycock, McNichol. The motion was carried. Sir Oliver Mowat moved- that a select committee be appointed to act with Mr. Speaker in the control and management of the library, to consist of the Hon. Attorney -General, and Messre. Harcourt, Ross, Stratton, Whitney, Gibson (Huron), Howland, Matheson,Bennett. Caven, McKay (Victoria), and Davis. The motion was carried. Mr, Whitney asked whether it was proposed to have an immediate and thorough investigation of the present serious condition of affairs at University College. - Mr. Ross replied that about ten days ago an application was received from a number of students of the univereity, asking for a commission to investigat'e the complaints which they had made against the faculty and the administration of the university. The Government had thought that it was but reasonable that if members of the faculty were complained of,and if inefficiency were charged, the causes of complaint should be specified. Had those charges been specified a.commission would have been iseued. Since that cornplaidt was made the president of the university, in his official capeeity, had himself asked for a commission, and the Government had decided that a commission be appointed at an early nate, with fall power to investigate ell the causes of com- plaint. Mr. Whitney asked -Has the Minister of Agriculture or any member of the Gov- ernment received from the Couuties' Conn - 311 of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundee, and Glengarry a copy of a resolu- tion adopted by that body unanimously on the 23rd day of January, 1895, asking the Ontario and Dominion Governments to give assistance and financial aid, as recom- mended by the Ontario Creameries Associa- tion, to the proposed plan of having regular weekly ship men ta of creamery butter placed on the Britieh market Is it the intention of the Government to comply with the suggestions contained in the resolution in the matter of giving assistance and financial aid? Mr. Dryden replied that the Minister of Agriculture had received a copy of such a resolution. Previous to its reception the Government had instituted an enquiry into the beat means of placing creamery butter on the British market. No conclusion had yet been reached. Mr. Whitney asked -IS it the intention of the Government to introduce, during the present session, legislation in the direction of lessening the number of ap- peals from courts of first inetance ; increas- ing the jurisdiction of the County and Division Courts, or either of them ; cheap- ening the procedure ; and providing for the speedy decision in matters of litigation? Is it the intention of the Government to take steps during the present session to reduce the amount of Surrogate fees on probates and letters of adminstretion ? Sir Oliver Mowat replied that as men- tioned in the speech from the • throne, it was the intention of the Government to take action to reduce the number of ap- peals. He added, however, that certain details would have to be arranged before steps could be taken to increase the juris- diction of the Celerity or Division Courts, or either of them, or with regard to the other matters mentioned in the enquiry.
