Toronto report; The classification of goods carried by express companies, and the arrangement of a new schedule of charges to be made by the companies, occupied the attention of the Board of Railway Commissioners for sev- eral hours yesterday. The board de- ckled to restore the former rate on oys- ters shipped from Providence to Toron- to, $1.50. .A. few months ago the rate was increased by the express companies to $L70. In arguing against the reduction the Canadian Express Company claim- ed that it would result in making the rate from Buffalo to Toronto 50 cents instead of 70 cents, as at pre- sent, as the Adams Express Company would still receive $1 for carrying oysters from Providence to Buffalo. The Canadian Express Company would re- ceive only ten cents out of the $1.50. The Dominion Express Company had been willing to continue at the $1.60 rate, but the Canadian Express Company, it was stated, had insisted on increasing it to $51.70. The latter did not handle oysters, but controlled the Buffalo -Toronto express rate, as it was the' only express company with the mileage. Chief Commissioner Mabee stated that it was understood that there should be no increase in any rate while the new classification was being made. The old tariff should stand in the mean- time. Tne board yesterday decided to re- duce the time for which express com- panies are liable for the safety of money parcels after notice of the ar- rival of the money has been mailed to the persons to whom it is shipped. Heretofore ,tho time has been forty- eight hours, but the board ordered that twenty-four hours shall be the limit in future. ; i �i• .o YORK LOAN. Shareholders May Expect Final Divi- dend This Year—Land Sold. Toronto, June 6. ---Less than $100,000 worth of building land of the defunct York County Loan and Savings Com- pany remains to be disposed, of by the liquidators, the National Trust Co, This represents a frontage of 2,000 feet, val- ued on an average of $4.5 a foot. Un- less something unforeseen !tae -pens, the whole should be sold within three months, when the liquidators will lee able, to prepare for the payment of a final dividend to the shareholders. Most of tho real estate has been sold on terms, but no anxiety is entertained as to the possibility of disposing of the mortgages unless some financial panic, of which tliere is at present no indica- tion, should strike the money market. As spatters stand at present many of the mortgagee could be disposed of at a premium sufficient to go a long -way towards defraying the liquidation ex- penses, ESCAPED HORRIBLE DEATH.

S., despatch: A magnifi- cent audience greeted Rev. Dr. Lyle, the retiring Moderator, as he rose in St. Matthew's Church here to open the thirty-sixth General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. The singing of the National Anthem was appropriately given a place in the devotional exercises. The preacher departed from traditional usage and delivered his sermon instead of reading it from manuscript.. After the assembly had been consti- tuted Dr. Lyle remarked that during the year he had represented. the church at two state dinners, and that he had takeno ca io c s n toh t ani. Earl Grey -pri- vately for his kindly act in placing a wreath upon the grave of the late Dr. James Robertson. When nominations for the Moderator - ship were called for, Principal Patrick, Winnipeg, proposed Principal John For- rest, of Dalhousie University. The nom- ination was seconded by Hon. D. C. Fraser, Lieutenant -Governor of Nova Scotia. • Rev. Dr. R. P. Mackay, Foreign Mis- sion Secretary, Toronto, was nominated by Prof. Ballantyne, Knox College, and Rev. Dr. J. A. Turnbull, Toronto. Dr. Mekay, however, withdrew, and Principal Forrest was declared elected- In a feli- citious address, the Moderator -elect thanked the assembly for the honor con- ferred upon him. It is ten years since the assembly last met in Nova Scotia, and the people of Halifax are unfeignedly gladto see the members. Two big questions coming up for con- sideration are the relation of Queen's University to the church, which may dome to a cleoisive vote, and the question of union with the _Methodist and Con- gregational churches, which, in all prob- ability, will be remitted to the Presby- teries under the Barrier Act. FACTORS OF EMPIRE BUILDING. The theme of the sermon by the re- tiring Moderator was "The Factors of Empire Building."
