Experiences as a Rebel In Ireland and a Citizen of United Sates. An address of rare feeling and elo- ence was delivered before the Toron- 0 Empire Club by Dr. J. K Foran of Ottawa on "Thomas D'Arcy McGee as Emplre-Bullder." He might, the speak- er sald, speak of him as a historian, an orator or a& poet, but those were mere accidents in the life of a man, the ripples on the surface of his life-#tream, that added picturesqueness perhaps and covered to a certain 'degree the deep, 'broad current underneath of prBphetic statesmanship. Dr. Foran sald he would only undertake to lift a corner of the curtain which covered that other phase of his life. McGee was a man who had changed from one who was opposed to constitutional authority to a stout upholder of it. McGee's early life and the companionship of Duffy, Davis and O'Bfen and others in the days when they were counted as rebels in Ireland was followed by his arrival years later In Canada, where he found & field for his talents, and joined in the work of confederation. In 1863, lec- turing in Toronto, he sald: 'How does it come that a man who spent his youth In fighting that Governmont should to-day be the strongest advocate of British constitutional rule in this Dominion. My answer 1s this; Were my country governed at the time as Can- ada is to-day, I would have been the strongest conservative constitutional advocate in Great Britain" Having spent some years In the could. com: rs with the British constitution. He at the former lacked stability, and sald that Canada wanted s mething © that was time-defying and liberty-im- parting, possessed of stability, and that «ould be found alone In the British con- stitution. McGee belleved that nothing better could be adopted for Canada than the British constitution, but he succeeded finally in persuading many of his op- ponents that that was the only system whereby this country could be raised and made the polished buckle In the belt of empire that engirdled the world. We were yet too near him to truly appre- ciate his pioportions; but he believed the historian of the future would be able to assign to him his proper place in the Valhalla of Canadian statesman- ship. His prophecy that before 1825 the €anadian west would be girdled with railways and that the Dominion would have 20,000,000 people, was in a ialr 'way to be fulfilled. Wolfe--Neglected Hero. Mr. F. C. Wade, K. C, of Vancouver, ' addressed the Winnipeg Canadlan Club | on the duty of Canada to Wolle's grave | weoently, and pleaded for a national @dknowledgment of the achievements »f the hero of Quebec. Concluding his ad- dress Mr. Wade sald: "In contempiat- ing the grave of Wolfe at the old par- ish church of 8t. Alphage in Greenwich one cannot but recall his marwellous bravery and brillant generalship that planned the attack at the Anse du Fon- . ton, which led to the capture of Quebec and the cesslon of this continent to the Anglo-Saxon race.

B., about eight miles back of the village of Bath, the bongs of a human being kaded cave. The Btewr arts, i long been desirous ot investigating, went to the cave, and with dynamite the obstruction to the ' cawe, was demolished. The men found ii stone steps leading to & pas: iséveni feb 1 ng and two feet wide, _ opening into a main room about twelve feet square, where they found the bones of a human being lying on al bunk of stone' No trace of flesh was there and the bones were dry and cruigbly. Near the ' bones was a gold ring on which' was | inscribed "John Long, Dec. 1779." A | few Inches away was a sliver watch, | bore 'the date 1740. Under- neath the bones were found several traces of coarse hair, which would in- | ios that the body had lain on a | skin or something of that nature. aa the bunk were found three 'books, two In Latin, the third written 3 eve in- 'scriptions, Inside was written: 8, A. Strong, Oxford College; May £4, 1676." Underneath this appeared the name James Hayward, 1685. The other book was Seneca's Tragedies, and It marked the date 1669. In the English book was written (. | names of David Fowles and Michael Carney. Around the books,.which were in a good state of preservation, was b | large plece of bark on which were marks believed to be plans of other caves. At one end of the room and im- mediately underneath the little hole In the roof was an old fireplace. What | this signifies the people here do not know, but the investigation will be continued Though several persons by the name of Strong have figured on the rolls of Oxford University, none of them bore | the initlalg "B.

If you ever meet a visitor from Aus- tralia and want him to say a good thing for Canada and Canadians ask him what he thinks of Mr. Thomas Talt, the manager of the Government railways in the State of Victoria. He is sure to become enthusiastic at once, unless he is a Laborite, and even then he will admit that Mr. G. R,'R. Cock- {urn's son-in-law is a first-class ad- ministrator. Mr. George Harris Hays, of Mel- bourne, who passed through Canada en route to England, was most em- phatic In his good opinion of Mr. Tait when he sald: "Our railways are in the very best possible condition. We get fine service, we haven't had a block in two years, and, furthermore, the roads are paying, and all that is due to the man you sent out from here to run them, Thomas Tait He has done 8 great work there, a work which no oth- er man has ever been able to do. He tackled in those railways one of the toughest jobs a man ever into. Raflways in our eountry, yo Ww, are owned and worked by the Government. So when Tait came along deputations came to him from all over the coun- try to ask him for reduced rales and all kinds of favors, and the politicians got after him and every one wa trying to work him for all he was worth. Why, 1 tried to do it myself *T"went to Bee him with a great dig deputation, and we told him he was oppressing the poor people and small farmers. All he answercd was, 'I am going to make {he Victorian raliways pay,' And he did make them pay, and furthermore, h# is the only man who has ever been able to do it. Before he came along these railways showed an annual deficit of £200.000 "Just. think of that, and now has pay, and on account of this great gain the Government budg ! shows an increase instead of a deficit for the first time In the history of the coun- try. Talt is a great rallroad man- ager, and he ig now getting the credit for it in Awvustralla from the very people who, when he first came, tried to bowl him down" MODERN LAND OF EGYPT| COUNTRY OF PHARAOHS SEEN THROUGH CANADIAN GLASSES.

Alexandria presents no evidences of her anclent glory. Nothing is to be seen of her renowned library, nor the forts and battlements erected by the famous warriors whose exploits furnished the world with so much poetry and prose. There are some splendid public modern works, large hotels, beautiful gardens, handsome palaces, great docks, well- equipped railway terminals, up-to-date waterworks, etc., but outside the house where Napoleon made his headquarters there is nothing of particular historic interest. The merchants are chiefly Greeks, who also possess a large pro- portion of the tobacco trade of the country. Egypt is celebrated the world over for the excellence of her cigarettes, and yet there is not an ounce of to- bacco grown in Egypt; but that 1s an- other story, and will be dealt with un- der the head of "British Rule" in a fu- ture letter. Calro, the capital, 1s one hundred and twenty miles southeast of Alexandria. The intervening country fos ta of the Nile, and is rich in agricul- tural products. Midway between the cities is the village of Rosetta, where the French discovered the stone, now to be seen in the British Museum, Lon- don, upon which 1s inscribed in Greek and Egyptian a decree which furnished the key to the hleroglyphlcs to be found | on the thousands of monuments and | manuscripts throughout the country.

Calro, the seat of government, the home of the Khedive, the residence of Lord Cromer, the British representa- tive, is a city of 60,000, about one- twentieth of whom are foreigners.
