About March 15 next we w_i'l1' undertake to complete some repent- ` ing contracts, but the company is now practically out 'of the eld. ' The company has practically gone` out of business for the time being. It was tendering on some new work, _and found that it could only-hope to succeed by offering the men a reduc- tion of wages of 15 per cent., the same as that recently made in Unit- d States shipyards. A notice to this effect was posted up in the yards, and on Monday a committee of the men waifed on Manager B. 'M. Smith. The situation was explained to the committee, and they went- away ap- !parently impressed with the reason- ableness of the company's conten- tion. Yeterday morning the men did not return to work, and at 11.45 word was sent thatvthey did not pro- pose to return. A meeting of the board was held, and it was decided to shut up-the plant. We have never made a dollar, `nor has any other company in .Can- ada. made money out of shipbuild- 'ing, said -Manager Smith. We have had to contend with the free importation of British-built vessels, and with the United States scale of wages. We spent $50,000 in bringing in Scotch and United States ship- builders and in perfecting our or- anization, and it is with great re- uctance that the decision to close down was reached. r We offered to build two steamers lfor the C.P."R. at cost, plus 5 per 1 cent., in order to retain our organiz- iation intact, but they decided they "could do better in the old country and bought there.

He claimed descent from the same fam- ily as Jacques Cartier, and his im- mediate ancestors` were men of note amongst the French-_Canadians, His grandfather, a prominent merchant, was one of the first membersof the county when the rConstitution_al_ Act of 1791 gave Lower Canada the right to representative institutions, and~Sir George himself, during the larger part of his political life, represented the county with which his family `had been so long identied. The Law or the Church. C ' Two careers only seemed open a century ago to FrenchCanadian boys of ambition and good family. George Etienne Cartier had to choose be- tween the law and the church, and he chose the former. Eight "years at St. `Sulpice College, Montreal, gave him his preliminary equipment, and in 1835, at the age of 21, he com- meiiced to practice at the Bar in` Montreal. Pore: Now .~Ado:`-no the Natibnal .The recent iinveiling in Montreal of a portrait of the late `Sir George Etienne -Cartier, which has -been presented to the National `Gallery by his daughter, Miss Cartier; recalls to mind the political career` of that distinguished French-Canadian states- man. The `Witness gives the follow- ing interesting sketch :- ' Last year at the Colonial `-Confier-t ence the `British people had =the graticatxon of beholding, as ` the loyal representative of a` ritish col-l may, one who a feyv years before had borne arms agamstjGreat Brit- ain, and had lain them down to be-` come .t r'im'e -Minister of the newly conquered colony. In the career of S1r`Georg_e Etienne -Cartier, `Can- adian history presents an almost parallel incident. . Sir George Etienne Cartier, Min: ister of Militia in thq rst Dominion Government, and until the advent 01 `Sir Wilfrid Laurier the greatest of brench-Canadian statesman, first came under. public notice during the rebellion of 1837, when, toescape transportation, he ed to the `United States. Lord Durham s Bill of Am- nesty permitted him to return to Canada without fear of arrest, and ten years later he commenced a po- litical career which was to repay by notable service the Empire s act of clemency. : sm atsoncm n:.

For m:n.y years he was solicitor to the Grand Trunk Railway, with which he had been identied since its inception. Fell With the Government. The Pacic scandal and the fall in 1873, brought Sir George Carticr`s political career to a close. .He lost his seat in Montreal. East, which he had held since 186I,,and though he was afterwards elected" for Proven- cher, Manitoba, he died `a few mon- .ths later, on May 20, -1873, while on of Sir John Macdonald s governmenti a visit to England. He had been in failing health for some time, and had been overtaxed by `the worry attendant on neg otiations.with riv_ul capitalists over the projected rail- way.` ] He was a member of the -`Colonial `Conference in `London in 1866-7, which obtained the passage of the British North America Act, and he was then sworn a member of the Privy Council, created a baronet and appointed Minister of Militia in the first Dominion Government, _to take oice on July I, 1867. rineial lSecreta`ry in the Conservative ed in 1854 to enquire into the com- Cabinet of `Sir Allan McNab;_ This appointment followed his services as a member of the committee appoint- mercial` intercourse of Canada with other countries, and which recom- mended the abolition of all duties on cheap, heavy and bulky articles com- ing by the` St. Lawrence, as well as free trade between the British pos- sessions in `America. As Minister of Militia `Sir George Cartier had much to do with the re- organization of the militia force, his legal knowledge enabled him. to take a prominent part inthe codication of_ tlie civil, and improvement of_the criminal law, as well as in education- al matters and the abolition of feudal tenure. it In 1857, Cartier declined te So1i- citor-.Generalship and became- Attor- ney-General of Lower Canada. At that time thewquestion of Federation was beginning to be seriously thought of, and `shortly after his ap- pointment` he yisited England in the interests of Federal Union, but fail- ed to induce the British Government to take action.
