Toronto despateh : That the, spread of consumption and hyphoid fever could be materially lessened if there was med- ical inspection and instruction in tho schools, was , the statement made yester- day by Dr. IL J. Hamilton, of Toronto, in his opening address as president of the Ontario Medical Association. "Edu- cate the people by starting with the ris- ing generation" was his message. Thea 29th annual convention of the association opened in the Medical .Ttnilding of the University of Toron- to yesterday morning, with 200 medi- cal men in attendance from Toronto, London, Hamilton, Montreal, Ottawa, Buffalo, Detroit, New York, Winni- peg, and other cities, many of them renowned experts in their own parti- cular line of medicine or surgery. The convention will last three days, and the annual dinner will be held at McConkey's this evening. To -morrow afternoon Dr. William Osler, of Ox- ford University, will give au address on medicine. The president's address was full of valuable information and sug- gestions. The profession should make honest efforts to educate the public, he said. Vaccination was so firmly believ- ed in that he was most ashamed to men- tion the subject. In Japan, he said, vac- cination was compulsory in the schools, consequently there was very little small- pox. Japan also had medical inspection in the schools. "At the present time compulsory vaccination is a dead letter in Toronto," said Dr.,Hamilton. "I ven- ture to sap that not a solitary member of the. Board of Education in Toronto would hesitate to take the Pasteur treat- ment if bitten by a mad dog, not even for appealing to public opinion, yet they decline to enforce vaccination in the Public schools." Referring to smallgox, which he referred to as a vile, loathsome, dis- ease, and extremely contagious, he said that the disease was killing thou- sands who would not be, vaccinated and would not have their children vaccinat- ed, because it might mean votes against them on the first of January. "The health of thg pu?lio is allowed to be made a political football," he said. "In tuberculosis," he said, "the laity is now the faithful ally of the profession. Municipalities must 'sup- plen cue :that," Rapid advances hee ,areetri' madeee he continued, lay the aid of pare dfle pen , god and pure water. Mr. John Ross Robertson received a compliment for the work he had done in connection with the establishment of a pure milk supply in Toronto, and the Hamilton authorities also received great praise for their efforts along the same Inc.i A SOBER OF NAILS Were Rained on Passing Street Car in Philadelphia.

Steamer Admiral Borensen in Grave Peril in Atlantic, llalifax, June 7. -•-Capt, Winsnes, of the steamer Admiral Borensen, which has arrived at North Sydney from Newfoundland, relates a story of hard- ship and danger while his ship was im- prisoned in the ice fields on the New- foundland coast, which was the worst ever experienced it his career of sea- faring life; The steamer left Cardiff, Wales, on May 11, 'dia.::ered by the lova. Scotia Steel Company, to load iron ore at Wabana for Rotterdam. When nearing Newfoundletee and almost in sight of her destination;. the Admiral Borensen encountered immense 'fields of ice, An attempt was.made to force the steamer through, but it proved futile, and in- stead the stearrter • found herself sur- rounded by errmese fields of drift ice floes, some of e:;ltieb v eaehed to a tow- ering height.- in, this condition the ship remained for eight days, imprisoned, and the crashing of the ice against the steamer was a constant source of dan- ger. On May 24 a big gale, which proved so disastrous elsewhere, struck the steamer. Aheavy swell arose with a heavy wind, and the plunging of the steamer through ice floes made Captain Winsnes realize gibe danger of the situa- tion. Nothing but destruction seemed to be the end for steamer and crew. Hastily the boats were made ready and provisioned. each pian was pro- vided with a life -belt, and all awaited the crash which .hey momentarily ex- pected. The wine veered somewhat and the steamer was carried further along the coast towards l'erryland. The gale then subsided, and next day another at- tempt was made to get the imprisoned steamer out of the ice fields. While off this point .another easterly gale sprung up and the ship was again in peril on account of her close proximity to the rock-bound coast. The schooner Carlrain was in the harbor nearby, and Captain Ernest Youngs, who saw the dangerous position of the steamer, made his way out and offered Capt. Winsnes to pilot his ship nut of the dangerous locality. The offer was gladly accepted, and Capt. Young piloted the Borensen out of the ice floes, and to North Sydney-, where she arrived without further mishap. During the eight days the Admiral Borensen was caught in the ice the only sleep the eaptgin and crew had was what warnesneeerei at . each intervals as was possible tnd for forty-eight hours CaptainWineettegiever left the bridge nor closed marine Cnbalt, June 7.— The Previneial police for the second time Within a few weeks have made a clean sweep of blind pigs anti disorderly houses at Elk Lake, eol- lecting $1,300 in fines.

A Ottawa, June 7.—It is understood that the Government's reply to the offer of Sir Robert Peeks on behalf of the Geor- gian Bay Canal Company, to build the canal in return for a Government guar- antee of bond issue, with Government control of rates and option of taking the canal over at cost at any time, will be that for this year, at any rate, the country will becommittedto no further large obligations. There ' will conse- quently be no further developments in the project until another session of Parliament. As has been previously stated by a correspondent, it is likely that before any action is taken with regard to the Georgian Bay Canal scheme a complete and exhaustive report will bo obtained with regard to the cost and potentialities of a deepened Welland Canal and an improved St. Lawrence River route to Montreal. after he has killed everything he could find, "The only thingwe Willget nut of the much -heralded trip will lbe some more hunting yarns, almost ah veracious as Mr. Roosevelt's account of hia heroic ex- ploit at San Juan .Hill, and some more skins and bones, of which we already have too many.

Price of a Position on the Montreal Police Force, Montreal, June 7.—At the Royal Commission's meetings to -day some new evidence regarding grafting in the police force was given. .A man named Calve swore that Ald. Proulx had demanded $300 to push Ms application for a. posi- tion on the police force. Calve swore that he told Ald. Proulx that was too much, and the latter said: "Well, a lit- tle to one fellow and a little to anothdr, in the end there wouldn't be anuch left for me." Mr. Calve told the Commission that some six years ago he was an applicant for a position on the force. He saw Chief Campeau, filled the necessary forms, and passed the examinations. Then he asked the Chief when his dut- ies were to begin. "You had better get some alderman to help you along,' counselled the Chief, according to the witness. }Ie then went to see Ald. Proulx. Ald. Proulx told him that there would. be $300 to pay—so much for this man, so much for that man, and a little over for others. "I would not give you five cents for a job on the force," the witness declared he replied. He is not a policeman to- day. The greater part of the day was oc- cupied in the examination of Chief Cam- peau; mainly in regard to functions of the inspectors as to complaintu made. BRUTALIZING SPORT. Dr. Long So Describes Roosevelt's Runt in Africa. LOST HIS WAD. Oiler on Steamer Toronto Fell Into Slip at Toronto. ARREST MOTORMAN. Toronto despatch: Just before the big passenger boat Toronto, of the R. & 0. line, started on her initial run down the lake yesterday afternoon one of the - oileis hovered for an instant on a wav- ering gang plank and then disappeared inthe churning waters between the vessel and the wharf sides. The big boat in starting her engines had moved slightly from her mooring ground and the gang plank was without support. In an in- stant the dock was in confusion. People rushed hither and thither in search of poles and ropes. Finally after much hauling the dripping sailorman was pulled upon the dock, practically none the worse for his ducking. But he was far from happy. When. on the gang plank he had had his hand in his trousers pocket, clutching a roll of bills—$25in all. When he lost his footing be pulled his band out, and apparently the roll of money came, too, for it was gone anyway. So once again the fishermen commenced to fish. A lonely "fiver" was located, but there remained no trace of the other bills, New York, June 7.—A despatch to the Herald from Stamford, Conn., says: Dr. William J. Long, the former minis- ter and naturalist, whose writings were bitterly attacked by Theodore Roosevelt, talked to -day about 31r. Roosevelt's Af- rican taunting trip. Dr. Long declares the worst feature of what he calls the "wi+oie bloody busi- ness" is the brutalizing influence which the reports heart Africa have on thous- ands of .American boys. "As there are no reporters with Mr. Roosevelt," he added, "these reports of frequent killings must come chiefly from himself and are such as he himself chooses to send out. If they are true, they are erectly in line with his pre- vious records. They prove what I said two years ago, quoting from his own books, that he is a game butcher, pure and simple, and that his interest in ani- mals lies chiefly in the direction of blood, butchery and brutality, "In one despateh e notice that when he could not find bnffar"oes be had to content himself' by shooting wart hogs and other inoffensive creatures.

Winnipeg, ,June 7.—For some time - past there has been friction between the street railway motormen and others, who, not realizing the privi- leges of '^ the military, persist in con • - testieg the right of way. Tiiis evening platters were brought to a head whets the Ninetieth were mantling from the Drill Ball to the university grounds, Broadway ear No. 300 refused to stop. Seeing the carnian's intention Capt. Blanehar'd, of A Company, signalled the, car to stop, and himself Mood between. the rails as the company marched across. The motorman obstinately held on until Capt. Blanchard stopped on and trip- ped the fender before stopping the , car. Colone Billman ordered the ar- rest of the ear's crew, which the sol- diers cheerfully effected. The motorman was inclined to resist,. but was soon convinced of the folly of such a proceeding, and submitted. The regiment then continued to the grounds. After manoeuvering and a 'march out the men were disiniesed and the motorman marched to the police sta- tion by acorporal and guard." • 4-Z. • GRANDPA'S GRAVE Little St. Louis Girl Stole Flowers From Florist.

Over Three Thousand Lynchings a Quarter of a Century. New York,, June 7,—That 8,284 mean,,, women and children have been lynched hi this country in the last quarter of a century, was the assertion of Mrs. Ida. Wells Barnett at the National Nero • conference in this city to -day. Asking why this was permitted by a Christian nation, Mrs. Barnett quoted John Tem- ple Graves as saying that the mob stands as the most potential bulwark . between the women of the south and such a carnival of erime as would pre- cipitate the annihilation of the negro -• rate. All know that this is untrue, Mrs. Barnett said . - "The lynching record;" she added, "dis- closes the hypocrisy of the lynchers. Describing the .riots at Springfield, Ill., Mrs. Barnett said it was all because a white woman said that a negro man had. • assn xlted her. • Later, Mrs. Barnett said,. the woman published a retraction, but . the lynched victims were dead.
