He etated then to Mr. Laurier that ths resignation did not require to be aeeepted, because his view and the view of the Minister himself wadi& elieagnes were that he had renouneed, his cello in placing his resignation in the hart& of the person qualified to receive it, and UR- 11..ss the resignation was declined it took no erica as a matter of course He thought front the. fact that the question WaS put that some members were under the hnpression that while resigning his office as Mintster of Mlle .Works Sir Heetor continued to take part in the deliberations of outwit and to aet otherwise as a member of the Cabinet. It was obviously unfair to leave the House tinder the impression that their late eolleateue still shared theresponsibility of the acts of the commit. The honorable gentleman felt that the ambiguity should no longer exist and, therefore, addressed this letter to the Premier yeeterday: Orrewe, Sept. 7, 1801, My Dear Prime Minister: I see that at the last meeting of the tienete a question %cot Put to You by one of the Senators to knew whether My reeignation, as Minister of Public Works, had been accepted.

In reply Mr. Abbott wrote this letter to Su' Heater Langevin yesterday; PeICY COVNCIL ()Meg. man, shrewd, kindly, and a good deal of the ()Id style lawyer. The Premier looks his name, without the friar's robe and girdle you can easily picture him as the alirewd old ruler of a bygone monastery. The farmers will find him a farmer equal to the best of them, and the busi- ness men that he knows a great deal about the business requirements of Can- ada. He knows the French-Canadians, their tongue and ways as well as he knows the lEnglish-speaking portion of Canada. Where he will speak and when will be settled more definitely when the end of the session is in sight. * * * Hon. Mr. Abbott has introduced a bill in the Senate to protect the Government from dishonest persons, the measure growing out of the recent revelations in the Department of Public Works. The bill makes it a misdemeanor for any Government employe or any member of his family to receive a present of any Bort from any person who has a contract with the Government, and any contrac- tor making such a present shall be liable to a fine of from $100 to $1,000, or in default of payment six months' impris- onment. The prevaleace of present taking by officials, who, in nine cases out of ten, are men with small salaries who are tempted by contractors and then preyed, has rendered such a meas- ure necessary, and had it always been in existence there would have been no scandals such as have developed at Ottawa in the past few months. It is evident from this bill that Mr. Abbott intends to have the departments con- ducted properly and in a business -like imannea in future. Ottawa, Sept. 7 1891.

Mr. Forbes has given notice that ha will enquire has the Government or any member thereof had their attention called to the fol- lowing atatement published over the sig- nature of Hon. William Macdougall; (1) shortly after the accession of Sir john Mac- donald in 1878 the Government determined to abandon the conetruction of the Georgian Bay branch of the Pacifie Railway; (2.) It was then under a contract in which Messrs. Smith & Ripley of New York, well-known railway contractors, had acquired a control- ling interest; (3) Mr. Chapleau had been re- tained by the contractors to advise them in acquiring this controlling interest; (4) In consequence of his ignorance or neglect the assignment of the interests they bargained and paid for were so informal and imperfect that, a majority of the judges of the Supreme Court on appeal from the judgment of the Exchequer Court in their favor for $171,000 held that Messrs. Smith & Ripley had acquired no legal interest in the contract, but a rnajority of judges expressed the opi- nion that as these gentlemen had obtained in good faith and had expended. a large sum in building that the contract had beenlegal- ly assigned. to them, and that the Govern- ment ought to, and no doubt, would over- come the defect and deal justly with them. (5)Mr. Chaplettuneithera.ppeared nor advised in any of the proceedings in the courts from 1879 to 1884, when the case was filially dis- posed of on a petition to the Governor -in - Council preferred and presented by me. (6) On the day information reached me that the council had decided to offer them $2000 in full of their claim, Mr. Smith informed me that the Chapleau's had demanded 10 per cent. of the amount. Whether Hon. J. A. Chapleau actually received that sum or any part of it I cannot affirm'as I did not see the money paid to him but I know that he was exceedingly attentive to Messrs. Smith & Ripley on and during the day on which they drew the money from the bank. 8. Mr. Smith and his partner gave as a reason for offering me $2000 for my profes- sional services extending over a period of upwards of four years that they had been eompelled to pay large sums to people who had done nothing but use influence with the Government. 9. I believe that Mr. Chapleau received a large sum of that soliatum. I leave the re- cords of the Exchequer Court, the reports of the Supreme Come, arid the testimony of any professional brethren who were counsel with me to vindicate my reputation as a lawyer in that difficult case. It would have been simple and easy if Mr. Chapleau had given proper notice to his clients when they paid him $1500 as he says they did for securing to them a controlling interest in the contract. I am, etc., Signed, "Tv-Puma/a MAODOUGALL." And do the Government purpose taking any steps in the matter? If so, whether an investigation will be immediately directed. THE COPYRIGHT LAW. Sir John Thotnpson has given notice that he will move that an address of Parliatnent be presented to Her Majesty the Queen on the subject of the copyright law. I I To be obliged to tear down one's work and do it over again, especially after considerable progress has been made, is not a pleasant experience. This, it seems, the Directors of the World's Fair are under the necessity of doing, imper- fections having been discovered. in the Fair buildings that are in course of con- struction. The foundations, it appears, are insufficient. The supports are not adequate to hold up the edifices designed to be erected upon them, and it is even said that all the buildings that have been commenced will have to be taken down to make way for entirely new founda- tions and for more substantial construc- tions. It is fortunate that the defect was detected before the work had pro- ceeded any further, although even now the changes required will involve an expense, it is estimated, of a quarter of a million of dollars. One would have thought that with their wide experience in the meter of erecting mammoth struc- tures these Chicagoans would have been in no danger of making such an egregi- ous blunder. DR. T. A.

He came to Commie in 144 to join hie brother in the drygoods business in Hamilton.

He remained with hie brother, who is Still doing busineee in Hamilton, but for a short time, apparently freeing the destined greatness of the Queen City. He came to Toronto in 1855 and entered into partnership with Mr. G. B. 'Wyllie, under the description of Wyllie & Murray. During all these years Mr. Murray made two round trips to Europe each year crossing the sea in all over 125 times. Forty families of Jews who had been ex- pelled from Russia arrived in the city by train from Montreal last night and were met and taken care of by Rabbi Elzas and a number of the members of the Richmond street synagogue. They ettere in a pitiful state of poverty, and were destitute of money and food. They had been sent from Russia by etope, which means that they had been m prison like criminals, though their only offence was that they belonged to the race which the despotic Czar has denied residence in his iron -ruled land. These im- migrants are only allowed to enter the United States since the Associated Hebrew Chhrities has given bonds for a million dol- lars that they will not become a public bur- den: They were therefore sent to their various destinations in the U.

Mr. Charles Wilson, reeve of Port Dalhousie, went his bail for $500, and Mr. Glass, a Louth farmer, for 31000.

Thus the circle of its popularity is rapid13 widen- ing from this carom alone, and more and more are becoming enthusiastic in behalf of Hood's Sarettparillafis ;it actnally demon- strates its absolute merit.
