Warren Hume, , 51) 111,1 hooter and well known guide, places the nuts ber of bears in the Adirondack wilderness at not far from 4,000. It would be interesting to learn where he gets his data. I was not aware that any one ilad as yet sue seeded in taking a census of the bear family. Guests at L,lce Gooier() hotels are often' furnished with pictures not down in the programme of their sum iner'e experie110es. Otte day in August the cry was raised at the Rogers Rock Hotel: "'There is soniethin; stvinsuliug in the lake." Half a dozen young men, questa of the house, tntubled down the board walk lending to the pier, w jumped Into boats, and rowed toward the floating object. The lake was as smooth as glees. There was a race between the boats.' The'' occupants of the winning craft were seen to stand up, look straight ahead for a moment, then turn the bow of their boat and put for shore. The rest of the boats followed. The object proved to be a bear, and a bear not in the very best of humor. He swam in the wake of the boats for a few rods, and then coming to the conclusion that the occupant were not worth the eflort e.ontinued his sarin in the direction of the "slide." Soule of the party follows ed at a eafe distance. Ile landed on the rocky point north of Juniper Island, at the base of the "Slide," and there left them. Rising from the water like a great black dog he shook hie shaggy sides, showed a row of milk white teeth in a sardonic sort of grin, and went slowly up the ravine leading to the to of the mountain. A bjra. Tillotson, living in the County of Essex, received a fright a • few weeks ago which will last her the rest of her natural life. She looked out of the window and saw what she supposed was a bear scratching a hole in the meadow. She raised the alarm and six or eight men gathered, armed with rifles, shot -guns and pitchforks. The party closed around the animal and were about to empty a fusillade into his carcass when the supposed bear raised his (lead and every gun dropped. It was Charles Acorn, clad in a buffalo -skin overcoat, digging gold thread. One half minute more and Charley would have,joined his friends in the celes- tial regions. Mrs. Jefferson Fuller, ,of the town of Johnsburg, Warren County, lives nrar Indian Pond. While hanging out clothes recently she saw a hear prowling around the woodrpilo. She dropped everything and fled to the house. Catching sight of her husband's rifle she took the gun and wont in search of the animal. She WAR alone in the house. The men were in the woods piling logs. I regret to say that the lady did not kill the bear. It should read that. way, The brute had acted the wiser mot and made off in search of greener fields. As the Geneva entered the bay and turned her prow round toward the narrow entrance leading to the lake a company of one performer, and a star at that, appeared on the sandy beach at the head of the bay. It was a large black hear, one of biggest ever seen on Lake George. The Animal stood up and looked at the steamer and its waving flags. The indeed, after travelling alottg the edge of the 1.000 -foot elope, cattle to a halt directly over the burette elide of Major Robert Rogers, where, as the Indians be- lieve, he made the descent to the ice aid escaped up the lake to Fort William Henry. All at once the hear Missed hie footing, matte two or three frantic clutches at the mountain, which seemed to be drift ink awry from binl, and fell. The ruck elopes at an angle of ninety -live degrees. The first bound landed bruin on a little shelf, the next shot hint into the blue ether. He dropped, touched the great mass of rock again about olid. way in the descent, and made his next step in a big pile of snow, into which he pitched head first. For an instant all was silent. But only for 00 instant. When the fishermen saw the animal fairly on his trip to annihil ate space they started for the foot of the rock. When lie struck the firer projection they came to a .halt. It was well they did so`or this story alight have had a different ending. In less than a nlinuteethe snow bank was agitated and the bear came out tilt t seideelly a ragged state of mind. The tumble had roused in him the spirit of some of his dead ancestors and lie was ripe for a quarrel. The spectators dropped to the ice as if shot Then alight have been seen the spectacle of several full.grown men making strong efforts to hide behind six-inch hillock* of snow and small projections of ice. They lay quiet until the animal Glade up his mind there was nothing in the neighborhood left worth swearing about, and departed, growling, cuss. ing, and limping over the ice in the direction of Antony's Nose. Summer visitors at Ilague, on Lake George, will remember the giant bear trapped by J. H. Shat- tuck. One morning Mr. Shtittnck discovered bear tracks on his prent- ises and took steps to capture the intruder. A trap was set, weigh- ing thirty 1011n,ls, fastened to a lla,d'.o,.11 cines 4 feet 10 inches long and 1 inches in diameter. The next day Shattuck and an, other hunter, named Newton, went to the place where they set the trap the day before, but, touch to their surprise, no trap was to he seen. Instead there was a broad trail leading through the woods, north. The hunters traveled ten miles, over the mountains, through forests, into ravines, gullies, and swamps. In places the earth wee torn and looked a9 if a drove of chained thunderbolts had been driven that way. Trees pleasuring three inches through had been torn up by the roots. Near a hemlock log they found the chain and clog, the swivel having been pulled through the sosket. The strength displayed by the bear was wonderful. In two or three places he bad jump• ed over eight feet, carrying chain, trap and clog with him in his flight through the air. The hunters gave up the search in despair and return• ed home. Only a few days ago 1 met a hunter who told me that he caught sight of Shattuck's bear this winter. If we are to believe the story told by this voracious Chumley there was never such another bear mince bears were born. One of hie paws would fill half a bushel mea. sure. His sides were shaggy, his head WAS big as a barrel. And his eyes blazed like two hallo of fire. The history of Shattuck's bear and the way he managed to make off with a thirty pound trap hanging to his paw spread all over the wilder. neas. There is scarcely a hunter in the Adirondacks but bas some sort of a story to tell in connection with this animal. A collection of bear stories would not be complete without relating the way Burr Phelps captured a bear in Lake George. When the old Ganouskie was 'steaming around the lake (named after the Iudian ileum of Northwest Bad), in charge of Captain Baldwin, commander, and Burr Phelps as pilot, she met with an adventure with a bear that out hears any bear story ever heard of. The steamer left Baldwin pier on the morning run, and was rapid- ly nearing the Waltonian group of ielande to the north of Hague when the sharp eyes of the pilot descried a bear swimming in the lake. Burr rang to slow down There were two young men on board the Ganouskim, ono from Albany and the other from Troy. They were good follows, but what they dol not know about hunting wild animals would fill a dictionary. They put. - pone(' capturing the animal without the aid of the steamboat men When the Genouakie neared the bear they came on deck stripped off their costa anti armed with axes. A boat was lowered and in the bow, to a position like that supposed to have been talcmn by' this ancient Ajax while d. Eying the lightning, stood the Albanian, proudly consci- ous of the glances of severed pairs of bright eyes. He was ready with the axe to knock the bear into selithereens and himself into immortal glory. Thu Trojan had been relegated to the oars. Tho bear waited until touched by the bow of the craft,and teen like a flash (blew one great pas' Over ill.' gunwale and sent the axe uorONs the water to disappear beneath the haves. It was all done so quickly that the Albanian stood as if parall zed. IIe came to his senses suddenly, for as the bear beltan to climb into the bolt Troy and Albany because a unit in thought au'1 shot overboard. They left the animal in possession of the boat and swain to the steamer. They were haul' d aboard by the deck -hands in the presence of those several pairs of bright eyes and slunk into the engine room to dry out. The pilot then set out to run clown the bear, He improvised a (.ts.o out of a coil of line, made a successful cast, settled the loop oyer the brute's head, and signalled to go ahead. AS the bear felt the tugging of the line Ile growled desperately and began to haul in the slack in regular overhand fashion. One of the very wet 'tourists looked out of the engine -room at the struggling animal and said : "If that brute coupes aboard here I shall get out and walk," and retired from sight. The steamer drove ahead at full speed. It was not very many. minutes before the bear gave up the ghost, drotsrtled by the foaming rush of waters in the wake of the Ganouskie. ''These are a few of the bear stories told by Lake George hunters around their winter firesides. They have one merit. They are strictly true. Sir John Thompson at Toronto Friday Night. EXTRACTS PROM 1415 SPEECH. On coming forward the honorable gen• tionan was greeted with loud and pro- longed cheering. He modestly remarked that he was no orator. He would simply make a plain statemert'of the policy of the gove-nment in this campaign. And he proceeded to do so at once. We have been told, said he, within the last four yea: s that new Tight bas cotne upon the men who are opposed to us ; that they have discovered a new gospel. In 1878, in 1882 and in 1887 they went up and down the country denouncing the bribery and corruption of the government of the day, declaring that our manufacturers were robbers and that our great public works were undertaken for merely cor- rupt purposes. Alt this has passed by, and we are told to -day that the issue now beim e the people of Canada is to be decided on the one question of our trade relations with the United States. Well, we are ready for the fight on the issue of our trade relations with that country, and it is to explain that issue that we are here on this platform to -night. To show that this issue is by no meane a new one with the Conservative party, I shall briefly refer to the rolatiens that have existed between the two countries in the past. The treaty of 1854 was consummated and put on the statute book by the statesman who now leads the destinies of this country. In 1865, where the good and benefi,lal relations following the treaty of 1854 ceased to exist by the action of the United States, it was the same etateeman who urg^d upon the United States to re consider their rash deoition to sunder the happy relations which then existed be- tween the two counts ies, but he appeal- ed in vale. In 1868, under the guidance of the • same statesman, an act was put upon the statute book to testify for all time to oome our willingness, on • moment's notice of the willingness of the United States, to have a fair interchange of natural products between the two coun- tr. Iiesn 1871 a treaty was made and parried through the parliament by Sir John Mac- donald, giving a Isrge measure of reci- procity in various interests, in addition to those of a eommeroisl oharaoter. When our American friends put an end to that treaty in 1885 the same statseman continuing to exhibit hie de- sire to maintain friendly relstions with't he republio, left open to the Americans our fisheries on the Atlantic for six months beyond the right. They had renouooed their right to use them on the promise of President Cleveland that he would re- commend to congress s commission to consider all the relations between the two countries. His promise was fulfilled in a certain sense. He made his recom- mendation, and congress declared it was a project unworthy of receiving a alogia dollar of public) money from the United ,States, In 1888 a delegate appointed by the mane statesman went to the United States, and offered them reciprocity, off ered to disease it in the broadest *eine of the word; he asked the Americans to discuss the whole question with ue, and that offer wise absolutely declined on the part of the United States. Now, that is your record on the re• ciprooity question, but you have yet to find a eiogle line in the statute books of Canada put there by a Reform admini- etratiuti• (Applause.) During this tines what wars the policy of our opponents? Vir11, it was not broadly different from our own. In 1878 Mr. Mackenzie was asked to state his policy with regard to the Uoited 5 ates. He said: •'VVe are willing to trade with any country we can." In the sante ) ear Sir. Riohard Cart- wriuht a:preened bitneelf on this same question. lie stated th,t while reoipro- city was destralIe Canada was not in such n elate of subj.oti.•n to the United Stat, s that she can't live without that oonn'.ry. Sir.Rj_ftard elated that we had gabs and chips and would carry the wan into Africa. Canada would find new mar kete for herself. Nothing was more cert.il , said Sir.lRicherd at that time, to bring ale ut unrestricted reciprocity than to lead the people of the United .ltatoe to believe that Canada could not get along without theta. \Chat a pity Richard had forgotten hie words of 18781 What a pity he had forgotten his statements that Canada could afford to live withuut reciprouity with the United States 1 Well now, what is the cry that conies up from the Itefermtte to- (,ay7 They *tate that wo hose stolen their clothing. They say that while they were in bath - ;ng we tan off w th their clot bee. (Lau" grater.) Stolen.theirulothieg! Detre to 1878 we all wore the sante clothing, There wee no diff recce between the two partite as to reciprocity. B.lt w hile w, all worn the same clothing then,, tc- day the clothing of the Reform lead, to is variegated indeed,every trip they take to elle/Arington atbtiug new cuin,e to their attire. (Laughter.) One day it is comer - teal union; another day it ie unrestricted recipreeity, and thou again we find it un- der the guise of continental tree trade. What exactly is our`poliey today? I will tell you. A little over three mon- ths ago it transpired that negotiations were beiug eutertained by the United States for making a treaty of reciprocity with the colony t f Newfoundland. These negotietiene have not yet ripened into a treaty, but they were proceeding on 1 nes which were not unlike, ea far as they went, lines which Canada woul.l be willing to pursue with reg'Od to trade relations with th t country ; and, at our own motion, on hearing theca negot:a inns were progree,ing, we insist• ed on the British Geyernmrut that Canada should have tr.e ep:.ion, if s'le pleased, of -being included in any treaty •.which might he made with the col. try of [Newfoundland, but we, in C:nade, at the same time thought that the propnerd treaty with Newfoundland didn't seem to proceed upon lines eo expansive ss was suited to the wants and interests r f Canada, and that it mfeht he better to avail curedi'r. ' ` • r g upon separate negotiations on behv11 of Canada. That intimation wan prrmptly conveyed to Ft esbia!{on. It will be made plain to you when the time cornea that, in ree- p.enee to that intimation, Mr. Blaine sated that, although the negotiations with Newfoundland would not suit the Domin- ion of Canada for a trade treaty, yet he was willing to make a pride treaty of reci- procity with Canada and to enter upon separate negotiations with her. That statement being made we were bound to avail ourselves 01 that opportunity to ex- tend our trade. The next request that oanle from Mr. Blaine was that pre• paratory to negotiations limy entered upon, we would outline the basis upon which the convention would proceed. We did eo in the document which has just been published in the press, offering to confider a renewal of the treaty cf 1854, with suoh modifications as the altered circumstances of the two coun- tries might call for. We asked them to reconsider the abortive treaty of 1878, to settle the fishery dispute along with other trade queatiens, likewise to settle the Behring sea controversy and the matters affecting the Atlantic crust, the wrecking beeineee, etc. Vt'hat we pro- pese is, that if you and the people of Canada accept the policy we lay before you, we will go to \Vaehiugton with the parliament behind us and will be able to treat with Mr. Blaine with the assurance that our premier has the renewed confi- dence of the people cf this country. Now I shall tell you a few things that our policy doea not mean. In the first place, our policy of reciprocity doss not mean that Canada is to loee control of her own tariff or the regnlatit.n there- of. It does not mean that the gov- ernmen' has yet arrived at the posi- tion that, in matters of trade, it is prepared to discriminate against the parent country. (Applause.)
