Work of British Columbia Legisla- ture Undone -- Lord Strath- cona's Enquiry -- Carleton County Wants Good Roads. Ottawa, Dec. 13.--A cable was ceived yesterday from Lord Strath- cona, stating that a despatch = from Montreal in a morning London paper said that foot and mouth disease ex isted in Canada. It 'also blamed the Ottawa authorities' regulations. The agriculture department has forwarded a. reply to the high commissioner, stating that the report was absolutely uniounded, and that no disease exists in Canada, and that every precaution- ary measure had been taken to keep Canada protected from the disease. An order-in-council has been passed, disallowing an ordinance passed by the North-West legislature, at its last session, regarding foreign companies. Three acts of the British Columbia legislature, passed at the last session, have been disallowed. One is an act to amend the coal mines regulation act; another is to regulate immigra- tion into British Columbia, and the third relates to the employment on works carried on under franchises granted hy private acts. Carleton County council finished its labors for the year to-day. It was de- cided to submit a draft by-law to the various townships providing for = the construction' of 3350 miles of good roads" under the Ontario government million dollar scheme. re NAMES 33 CORRESPONDENTS. Woman Brings Remarkable Di- vorce Suit Against Clubman. Philadelphia, Dec. 13.--A divorce suit which is remarkable in point of the number of co-respondents mentioned, has been brought in this city against Thomas Robb, Jr., a young man of much prominence, particularly in club circles. Mrs. Robb is one of the hand- somest and most popular women in Philadelphia's smart set. For several vears Mr. and Mrs. Robb lived at No. 124 South Twenty-second street. They have one child. Mrs. Robb's allegations concerning her husband's conduct cover a period of six months. She gives the names of three women with whom he is suppos ed to have had "affairs," and she mentions thirty others *'to the depon- ent unknown," with whom Mr. Robb is alleged to have acted in a manner not comfortable with his family ties. Mrs. Thomas Robb, Jr. is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Z. Gregg. Upon her "coming out' sever- al winters aco, she was considered one of the most beautiful debutantes of the season. Mr. Robb is a member of the Ritten- house Club and several other fashion- able organizations. PIRACY IN CHINA. Crimean War Veteran Killed and Ships Looted. Canton, China, Dec. 13.--Piracy is increasing on the West river. During the drought which destroyed the rice crops near Canton, the benevolent as- sociation of that city, aided by the Chinese government and subscrip- tions © from Chinese in America, bought large amounts of rice at Wu Hu and Chin Kiang, which were sent to Canton to be sold atllow rates to the poor. The ships were looted by pirates and several persons killed, one of the victims being Mr. Evans, a Crimean war veteran, in the ser- vice of the British consul at Canton. BORROWED MONEY. New Light in Shooting Mrs. Gore by American Actor. Paris, Dec. 10.--The correspondence between Mrs. Ellen and M. de Rydzewski, the Russian singer, shows that the woman borrowed money from the Rubsian. This fact is re- garded as more suspicious than the Russian's: allegation, in his account of the woman's death, that she was his mistress. It is thought De Ryd- zewski believed he held her in his power owing to the indebtedness, and, finding that she indignantly re- fused his advances, he may have done what led to the firing of the revol- ver, whether held in his or her hand.

The Specta- tor wishes the United States to 'as sume the direct protectorate over all the South American states, the same as it now does over Cuba. The Saturday Review says : pose that either Germany or land had territorial ambitions in South America and were determined to use the present dispute to gratify them, could the United States pre- vent either power from taking as much territory as it pleased ?'

Pec. 13.--Prince Francis of Teck has finally been permitted to join the brokerage firm of Panmure, Gordon & Co. Mr. Gordon, before his death, was a great figure on the stock exchange. His ideas varied over a wide range. At one time he had a passion for trousers and when he went to America for a year he had one pair a day in his personal kit, with over two hundred pairs thrown in. He was the only man- who ever devoted an en- tire chapter in a serious book of travel to the story of the loss and subse- quent recovery of his favorite pair of breeches. He had 1,100 neckties. Prince Francis will not appear upon the floor of the exchange, but merely buy a scat, and, being a brother of the Princess of Wales, it is expected that this will influence business and draw a long list of royal and aristo- cratic speculators.

A joint meeting of the civic finance and property committees was called to meet in the mayor's office on Friday evening. There wefe present : Mayor Shaw, Aldermen Sears, Kent, Hipson, Knapp, acLeod, McFarland, Tait and 'Abbott. The mayor stated that the cause for calling the meeting was the desire to discuss toll question. He explained that the city council did not agree to throw off the city tolls in case the roads were made free, but only to take the matter up for discussion. The city had paid a large amount in endeavor- ing to abolish the tolls from roads leading to the city. Even though, at the approaching municipal elections, the county favors the abolition of re- maining gates, there is no evidence to show that it will ever be done, owing to the indebtedness some of the roads are in. The question really before the meeting was the abolition of market tolls and the changing of the forestall- ing by-law. : Ald. Knapp believed that if the county freed the roads, the city should make the market free. These innova- tions would not cause the boom to trade that many people imagine. He had heard' more protests, from' the farmers, against the forestallings by- law than against tolls. From present appearances, it appeared that the tolls would remain on the roads for some time yet. The action of the citizens in calling a meeting to discuss the question was quite premature, said Ald. Sears. He thought that if a farmer came "te market and paid his toll he should be permitted "to sell at any time he pleases. - Ald. Tait, the grand old man from Frontenac ward, told some reminis- cences of the toll gate question. Ald. Abbott considered that the city had not been asked to do very much; if the county abolished the toll gates, the city should certainly abolish mar ket tolls. The question Is it worth while to lose the $1,500 a year the city derives from market tolls? The market was deteriorating, and the farmers were selling more and more to the stores. "If the freeing of the market will bring us an equivalent of 81,500, then T think we should go into the game," remarked the mayor. Ald. Tait believed the forestalling by-law a necessity. Four-fiiths of the people demanded it. Ald. McLeod's view was that it was premature for the citv to take ac- tion at the present time. He did not think it would be right for the city 18 market, when there was no revenue to be derived' therefrom. The city, how- ever, did 'not want to make any money out of the farmers. He be- lieved the forestalling by-law was a safety-valve for our citizenship. It was not reasonable to expect that the stores could sell as cheaply as the farmers. The hour might be changed, but the by-law' should remain. At this juncture Ald. Bell arrived. Ald. McFarland did not believe that the market toll kept ten teams out of the city in a year. . Ald. Kent moved that the, meeting be adjourned, pending the obtaining of further information regarding market tolls in other cities. Carried. The committee members are anxious to encourage the county council in every possible way in this matter, but deem it advisable to, wait until that body takes action. Rowntree's Famous Chocolates.
