The disease which some two years ago prostrated Mr Stevens, came npon him gradually. There was an increasing feeling of general lassitude ; the kicneys did . rightly perform their function, and then the body began to bloat. The feeling continued extending to the extremities, until Mr. Stevens be came a helpless, bloated mass of flesh. A finger pressed upon the bloated flesh would leave a mark all day. The urinary weakness became | amful and distressing, the passages | oming very frequent. Doctors diagnosed the trouble as dropsy, but as their remedies failed to eflect a cure, they pronounced the trouble incurable.

I Portland vs. Oanadian Ports. Already the people of Portland, Me , are preparing to receive freight which will originate on the Grand Trunk Pacific or Cox railway. The newspapers of that city publish statements made by prominent offi- cials of the Grand Trunk assuring the people of Portland that the pro- mises made by the Canadian Gov- ernment that Grand Trunk Pacific freight was to go through Canadian ports is all moonshine. The popu- lation of Portland, we are assured is to be doubled asa result of the investment of over $100,000,000, of Canadian money. Already arrange- ments are being made to furnish additional facilities for handling the freight which is produced on Cana- dian farms, and in Canadian fac tories. The all Canadian route has only one significance to the people of Portland--it is sand in the eyes of the ple of Canada. The Canadian Cities which hope to de- rive benefits from the new trans- continental are held up to ridicule. the | It is explained that this is another case where Mr. Hays a thorough going Yankee, has fooled the green and unsophisticated Canucks. Mr. Hays prided bimself with havin "gulled" Parliament for a time, an why should he not have, a shy at the people? He did the trick on Parliament by simply making false promises. Now the same thing is ng done in the case of the Port- land and Canadian cities. Thus the Laurier cry of "Canada for the United States" is justified and "Canada for the Canadians" tramp} ed under foot. Whitby "Model Fair." Hamilton Times of Aug. 5th says: B.

(Laugh- ter.) Proceeding, Mr. Monk pointed out that the discussion of this rail- way question came up under cir- cumstances without precedent in the annals of Parliament. In order to appreciate the merits of the| scheme, in order to judge it in every | detail, there was absolutely no re~ port forthcoming respecting it.

A Gigantic Mammoth. St. Petersburg, Aug. 15.~--The | Academy of Sciences in St. Peters- | burg lately received an extraordin- | ary acquisition--a complete gigantic mammoth with even its skin in a perfect state of preservation. When the news came that such a mammoth had been found the academy sent out a expedition under Dr. Otto Herz, to thespot,a wild place on the bank of the Berezovka River, where a recent landslide had disclos- ed the gigantic animal's body. Dr. Herz's party had the greatest diff- culty in getting the animal out of its bed. A wooden house was built and big fires lighted to thaw the ice. At last it was removed and ot to St. Petersburg from Irkutsk. he hide was perfect and alone weighed 820 pounds. Itis covered with thick, strong hair, from eight to twenty inches long: The flesh, according to expert geologists, must have lain in the earth and ice for about 20,000 years. It is blood red and has a certain elasticity. Be- tween the flesh and bide is a coat- ing of fat three inches and a half thick which must have enabled the mammoth to bear the most intense cold. The stomach, found intact, was filled with various kinds of grasses, and the teeth were lined with vegetable matter indicating that the animal was feeding when suddenly buried. . er »-- Slowly Dying from Oatarrh. Thousands are in this terrible con~ dition but don't realize their danger If you have the slightest taint of Catarrh, would it not be wise to commence Catarrhozone treatment now and be perfectly cured in a short time?

After hearing Mr. Blair's speech could any member deny that {the Premier would have done better to have accepted the advice of his Minister of Railways, the natural adviser in such matters. (Applause.) The hasty way in which the scheme was brought on had been shown when Mr. Blair said that it was born scarcely two weeks before the opening of the ses- sion, and that some of its most ob- jectionable features had been added just before its introduction to the House. Under these circumstances it would have been more just for the Government to have immediately replied to Mr. Blair's vigorous in- dictment, instead of putting up 2 gentleman who fifty years hence would only be known for his extra- ordinary record of contradictions in public life. (Applause.) COMPARATIVE MERITS OF ROUTES. It was remarkable to hear Mr, Charlton urge the possible superior- ity of the railway carriage of grain, as compared with the water route, after his recent utterances. Although Mr. Charlton now said they had all the necessary data for this project, he had stated exactly the reverse in a recent speech on transportation problems, in which 'he pointed out the incomparable cheapness of water traffic, as campared with that on railways. Mr. Monk quoted from this speech, in which Mr. Charlton {on which the Finance Minister > i some member of the Govern- try build it ?

He expressed the opinion that as far as possible when the question of transpoftation comes up, it was better for Canada not to delegate carrying of any such great work to private corporations or to individu- als,, no matter how respectable they might be, but to keep under the ab- solute control of Parliament every- thing conuected with the transpor- tation or settlement of the country. uming that the need of the line been proven, he wanted to hear ment the reason why it was not r 4d to apply to the prairie sec le which was to be te be ion of the transcon- tal line, why did not the coun- 1 to resist the overpowering influence of the great railway cor porations, if reasonable rates were to be secured, then that could only be brought about by a Government live. (Hear, Hear.) "Mr. Monk pointed ont that in a great many of the States of the American Union there are provisi ons in the constitutions of such States against granting State aid to any railway, and he thought the time had arrived when Canada should refrain from aiding railways except those which were built by the country. I. GRAIN-CARRYING QUESTION. Mr. Monk then dealt at some length with the grain carrying ques- tion, pointing out that from Winni« nipeg to Port Arthur, a distance of 400 miles, the rate was 12 cents per hundred pounds, to be reduced on the 1st of October next to 10 cents under arrangements with Mr. Rob« pr ding further east, the dis- tance from Levis to Moncton was 488 miles, The distance by' the proposed route was 400 miles, so that it was apparent they were building this branch, which at no xtraordinary provision that | spot Intercolonial, to save 88 miles.

LF GOST OF THE LINE. rr eee IE -- 8s Eost of the line, Mr. Monk 'pointed out that there was no clamor com- ing from British Columbia. Cana: da had fulfilled Confederations to that province. The proposed mountain section would cover 2 distanc of 6oo miles. According to Sir Sandford Fleming, who in the 70's had surveyed the route which the new line would take the estimat ated cost of the mountain section would be over $50,000 a mile. The Government proporticn of that would be at least $30,000. This would mean an obligation on the country of $540,000 a mile per Jest, or for the ten years $5,400,000. hat was the extent of Canada's liability for the Rocky Mountain section. Dealing with the question of the Eastern section, Mr. Monk pointed out that the reports of Sir Sandford Fleming and other explorers of the district utterly failed to corroborate Sir Wilfrid Laurier's: glowing de- scription of the country. Although they had discovered some agricul- tural lands. there was nothing to justify an expenditure of $50,000, eoo for a railway through it, especially when there were other regions known to be open for sett" ment. 2 Then as to Quebec. Mr. Mh ak pointed out the patriotic efforts of the Quebec Repatriation Society to induce the French Canadians to settle in their own country instead of going to the United States. In the Lake St. John district there is room for two million settlers, but this railway would not aid the had said that during the navigation season trade must inevitably seek the waterways of the Great | He also pointed jout the che of ny eg iow New York, and gave it the complete advantage over a rail route to Que-} bec or the Maritime ports. Mra Charlton also said that it would a great mistake for Canada to build the New York Central, to compete} with this waterway because it would be an attempt to change the nataral course of trade. He had therefore urged that a commission should be appointed to take the whole matter into consideration. And, doubtless, Mr. Monk added commissioners. (Applause) FAIR SAMPLE OF CONTRADICTIONS, This, said Mr. Monk, was only fair sample of Mr. Charlton's co tradictions.
