Elevator Facilities at Montreal Aro
Seriously Blocked
A despatch from Menteeal emirs:
One of the most sellouts etrciposstions
which the port •of Montrel, has
faded in the history of, its existenee'
•is the grain blockade now extant.
The bloeltade is the worst ever ex-
perienced, analis attributes' directly -
to the London dock workers' strike,
The Grand Trunk elevator and the
elevator of the Harbor Commission-
, ers are both filled to the limit of
their capecity. and there are net
enough ehips to relieve them of the
.
grain stored in them. There as no
eutlet; but through' the inlet come both eases cited. -
lake freighters which cannot be un-
loaded :There are at theepeeSent
time five' large freightera lying, in
the harbpe basins.. ,Soefull are the
elevators that they can do no more
work. The eight of a couple of
floating elevators alongside of both
the Tunisian and the Canada alone
indicated trouble, fey it is solelorn
that ehe ships take on what is
known as "floating grain,"that is,
take on grain directly from lake
steamers by the aid of small float-
ing elevators. This is being done in
tit fulmar,

A despatch from Paris says: The
Maths says that the physiciaps at
the Pesther Institute at Tunis claim
to have•achieved a succe.se with the
new prophylactic method of treat-
ing Asiatic cholera. Briefly, it con-
sists of injection of the comma bacil-
li found in the intestines of cholera
patients. It is ectM that the blood
thereby becomes extremely rich and
renders peop/e immune from the
contagion. Three physicians, Nis
COner and Clonseil, experi-
mented on themselves, • and alto
swallowed the baeilli. Dr. Reux,
in reporting the matter to the Acad-

the ,efficaey of the experiments were

A despatch from Ottawa saes;
Consternation has been. created in
the civil service here by the action
of the Civil Service Commission,
which has ruled that pending a de-
nite regulation of the Cabinet, to
widish the matter has been referred,
no official of 65 yenrs or up-
wards shall be eligible for promo-
tion, In the meantime the promo-
tion of nearby o doz-en capable men
has been held up and many others
who have reached the age limit are
on the anxious seat. The statutes
of 1870 contain a minute laying
down an age limit of 60 years, but
this has been a dead letter for
years. Commissioner Shortie how-
ever, says the pr-esent action of the
Coe -mission is not based on this, but
on .the practice in Great Britain and
the..United States. The Clot -emission
has wide discretionary powers in a
matter ' of this kind. Officials
throughout the country arc affected.

• SIR RUFUS ISAACS.
Sit Rufus Isaacs, who has recent-
ly been given a seat in the British
Cabinet—the first Attorney -Gener-
al to be accorded such an honor—
is a notable example of a man who
exchanged one profession, in which
he did not meet with much success,
for another in which his career has
been a phenomenal triumph, For
"Rufus," as he is affectionately
known, alike to his colleagues at
Sir Rufus Isaacs.
the bar and to the man in the street,
originally adopted stock broking as
his calling in life'not doing much
good at its translereed his affections
to the law. Though called to the
bar at a later age than the average
barrister, he ab once made a con-
siderable name for himself, and
when, in 1898, he "took silk," he
was recognized as one of the ablest
lawyers in the country. His early
experience in business was not
thrown away on him, for it Was
largely in eases involving financial
intrioacies that he made his great
reputation. Brilliant as he is, his
capacity for taking pains is no less
remarkable than Ids brilliaticy, Un-
like some other famous advocates of
-whom one has heard, he never goes
into court only, partielly prepared.
He can grasp the salient points o.f
a case with lightning -like' facility,
but he never allows his readiness of
perception and assimilation to do
duty for sheer hard work: "Rufus
always gets up his ease," is the tes-
timony which lawyers invariably
hear to his thoroughness. 'When he
accepted the Solicitor -Generalship
two years ago, his practice at the
bar was enormous. Since then he
has been precluded from engaging
in private practice'which perhaps
is just as well, for his health. For
it was then his habit to be called at
-half past five each morning, when
he would start reading his briefs
while he sipped an early morning
cup of tea. Breakfast was at eight-
-thirty, and then he would drive
down to his chambers, where he
would be engaged in consultations
till it was time to go to court. He
tveuld remain at the law courts till
four o'clock, when lie Would repair
th the House of Commons. With
the exception of the interval Tor
dinner, he would voinain in the
House till midnight, unless he
chanced to be addressing a, political
meeting. He lived the life of an
ameherite, and, exeset during the
vacation or some occasson of pub-
lic importance, eschewed all social
functiesis, devoting himself entire-
ly to his two professionof lie, and
politics. Sir Rufus at one time
seemed disposed 'so identify himaelf
with what is ceded the "modeeate"
section of the Liberal party, but
latterly he has drawn closer to Mrs
Lloyd George, with whom he is no
terms of close personal friertelship:
He is a brother-in-law -if Mr Al-
fred Sutro, the well-known author
and playwright. •

One. year the autumn manoeuvres
at Aldershot had been brought to a
close by a long and 'fatiguing field -
day, in which. the Whale of the
troops had been engaged. Owing
to recent heavy rain the ground had
proved very heavy fer the cavalry
and artillery, and by the time they
returned to their quarters guns,
horses a•nd men were covered with
Med.
The following clay a grand and
final march -pest was th take place,
which was to be graced by the pre -
80000 of Royalty, and every exer-
tion wee ordered to lie made to
rendes: the "turn -out" as good as
possible.

driver- of No, 1 gun (the Post of
honor) of a battery of Royal Horse
Artillery found his itovses, owing to
the heavy work of the previous day
and the late hour of the return of
the battery in a terrible state of
mud, etc. ; but he set to work to
remedy matters 410 well as time
would permit. When the officer
memo -rotted and saw how much
there was to be done he expressed
some doubt to the driver es to whe-
ther he would be finished in time,
and, pointing to his hoeses, eaid :
"Why, they are filthy, Driver Ma-
guire I"
"Oh," said the. man, "just look
at the otter side of them, sir. If
we keep them together we shall d -o
very well."
The quick-witted Irishman bad
seen at a glance that time did net
*permit of his greenling both horses
roued, so he had polished the off-
side of the off and the near side of
the neer horse. and no doubt, as hp
foretold his officer, he "did very
well."
