Other Names Were Proposed, But : All Retired,- And Mayor Shaw Accepted--He Believes In! Whitney's Policy. About 100 persons attended the con- servative vonvention in the city hall jast night. They were the delegates selected ot the recent ward meetings. The admission was by ticket and it was about 8.30 o'clock when Dr. Ryan took the chair and called the gather ing to. order. The doctdr was sangsine as to the result of the coming con- test; he had vo fear but that a con- servative woultl be returned. The as sociation was never in better form. He asked for nominations fer standard- 'bearer in the coming provincial elec tions, Joseph Dennison offered the name of J. Morgan Shaw and the proposal was seconded by Joba Gaskin. Then followed a Mull and the chainnan whi about to pat the motion when Ald Mcleod asked for time. He thought that a little discussion would prove a good thing, Other 'nominations were called for and the names of Capt. Gaskin, James Minnes, De. Herald, Dr. BE. H. Smythe, W. F. Nickle and Dr. Ryan were proposed. All these retired from the contest, several saying they were not in posi- tion to accept, Mayor Shaw. then arose and said that he, too; did not fool like entering upon another con test this year. His business, ho.said, demanded his attention. He would willingly support any one selected. Finally, he asked for two 'days to con sider the matter. , Ther came a proposal that the can didate and the executive commitice should retire to the council chamber and talk over the situation. The con forence was evidently satisfactory for on returning to the hall, Mr. Shaw said he would accept the nomination and he called for co-operation. He wotld work all the time and if bis supporters did the same he was not afraid of the result. He was strongly in favor of Whitney's policy and he looked for a conservative 'government before the yesr was out. Capt. Gaskin followed with advice fo complete organization and all get to work. The Macdonald' club was called on to show its eapacity, for he was sure the "old lads" would do their duty. The gathering concluded with cheers for the candidate. WILL BUILD THE LINE.

Pierrepont Had Trouble In I Reaching The Cape. : The steamer Pierrepont had great difficulty in reaching Cape Vincent yes- terday. A clear passage had been an- ticipated, but the trouble wis encount- eved where least expected. The steam- er leit here at nine o'clock in the morning with the party of excursion- ists for Washington, amt good time up the harbor to Nine Mile point and out into open water. When with- in four miles of the Cape, a field of ice, stretching across the United States ; channel, was encountered. i ioe - had come down from the lake, end consisted of an under and an upper layer, two feat in thickness, nearly ; twice as thick as the ice broken in} the harbor on Monday. Several of the Pierrepont's crew | walked over the ive lo see what chance there was of breaking a passage, for! the outlook was anything but hope- | ful. However the old ironclad made a brave attempt to dlough its way | through, but for two hows little pro- was made. The train was wait- mg at Cape Vincent for the pas- sengers, almost ih sight of the belat- | od steamer. At length, the passengers | had given up all hope of catéhing the | train, when the steamer an to make better headway, and finally got through the ice field into elear water. The Cape weds reached at twenty-five minutes to three o'clock. The trai had waited an hour and a half on thé steamer, The Pierrepont returned to Kingston last evening, reaching here at hali-past seven o'clock. Early this worming the Pierrepont crossed over to the islands, geiting wgithin half a mile of Wolfe Island landing. At nine o'clock she cleared for Cape Vincent. Marine Notes. The steamer Aletha will likely Jeave for bay of Quinte ports next Tuesaay. The steamer Islander, rebuilt during the winter, will be floated out of Davis' dry-dock on Saturday. The steamer Hamilton will make her first trip to Montreal on April 20th, leaving Toronto on the evening of that day. Workmen have begun fitting out the steamer Donnelly. They began to-day making repairs and getting the craft ready for the opening of navigation. The stéamer Nicholls, whieh winter- ed. in the slip at the foot of Clarence street, is regly for commission. As soon as the ice leaves the harbor, she will clear for Oswego to load coal. The crew of the tug Dauntless ar rived to-day from Ogdensburg to fit out that craft for the season's busi- ness. During the winter she under- went extensive repairs at Portsmouth, Capt. Elliott, Lindsay, has been pushing work on the Crandell re pairs, and the new hull is eaulked and painted. The craft will slide into the water as soon as the hull is surveydd by inspector Davis, of Kingston. Mothers' Meeting. A large number of mothers and teachers met last. night in St George's hall in the interest of the home and little ones. Mrs. Macallum gave a most helpful talk upon the ne- vessity of mothers realizing that they, themselves, must be the ones to develop the good which is planted by God in the heart of each child, weed: ing out the evil and leaving no place in which+it can flourish. As the mag- net attracts and lifts up steel, so must Christ be lifted up to draw and at- tract his little ones. The dangerous habit of checking children too fre: quently was pointed out; the teaching of the Lord Jesus was one of do, not of don't. Mothers should try and fol- low His teaching. All mothers are cordially invited to thesé meetings; which are held the second and last Tuesday of 'each month at éight o'clock. O'Neill In Monte Cristo.

Fear of being beaten is said to be the reason. Pusuette, of Potsdam, N.Y. who pitched so successfully for the Poay baseball team lit summer, will ap- pear this seasoh with the Gananoque outfit, so says popular rumor. A French crew rowing in an eight- cared barge will attempt to cross the English channel from Boulogne to Folkstone, a distance of shout twen- ty five miles, on Faster Monday. Randolph, who played left field with Ponies last year, will be with Gana noque this season. "Randy" is g splendid batter, and only needs a hit tle coaching to make him a strong fielder, Nelsori Long, the Hamilton pitcher, rovently signed by Toronto, has been notified by the national hoard of ar hitration, that the Portland, Maine, club, of the New England league, hae the call on his services for this year. The new Peterboro hockey rink will have a séating capacity of 1,700 peo- ple and will have an ive surface of 756x175. This is as long as the King ston rink, but not as wide, It's a pity Paterhoro doesn't build a rink with an ice langth of 200 feet, since one is to be built. James Quirk, supposed to have been murdered in Brantiord;, was one of the fastést foot-runmers Canada has produc. He held the record for seventy-five vards, which be ran in seven. amd a quarter seconds in 1885. Under the management of Homer Pen nock, Quirk met and defeated the hest runners in the country. The Ponies' baseball team to play at Lake Ontario park this eoming season will be stronger than last year. Five or six of the former play: are will be again on the team, in cluding Hunt, Daley, Islin, Duquette, Cheney, and "Chaucer" Elliott as captain if he does not join the Toron- to team. The vacant places will be filled by fast players. The team will be an independent one, playing exhi- bition matches. It seems to be generally that the yacht Constitution will be put into commission again this spring. It is hoped so, for this craft has not had a fair trying out, and it would he .a great pity to keep her covered up when there is work a-do ing.

A leading Kingston lawyer, speaking about the bill being introduced hy the minister of justice to provide for the appointment of a superior court judge ad hoc to take the place for the time being of any of the other judges of that body who might he ill, said : "The supreme court is very unsatisfae- torily constituted at present, and is not in favor with the profession.

Yours teuly, WILLIAM FARWELL, General manager, The above is a sample of letters re { ceived évon from gentlemen in high i official position, who are very sensi tive when their interests are touched, but who do not scruple to accuse others of dishonorable and cowardly use of a newspaper for stock jobbing purposes. The quotation in the Whig was an ervor, which passed the proofreader, In a mass of figures, misplacetments are common in the daily rush. The publisher has wever read one of the duily reports before: publication, much less altered or suppressed one. His reputation for honorable conduct the Eastern Township bank manager dare not personally attack in public in Kingston, ns he does so offensively | outside of it. There could be no object in the al Lluged misvepresentation. A Kingston bank manager declares that he never { knew of a sale made here of shares of Eastern Township bank. They are not quoted in Toronto stock reports, ana the statement of sales for 1901 made in Montreal stock reports shows shares at from 150 to 154. Therefore, malice and injury are both unlikely A kindly and gentlemanly jetter point ing ont an error will make a publish er fully conscious and regretful of "it. There is no occasion for charges of willul use of dishonorable purposes. Appointed Manager, J. .E McIntyre, head clerk in the British- American hotel, hax been ap: pointed manager.
