The Gazette from Montreal, Quebec, Canada (2024)

8 THE GAZETTE, MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, IT ANNOYED WILLIAM MARINE MATTERS. Government having iippo'ntcd Mr. Patter-u the pcop'e Here, with commendable Ecrso, immediately recognize the situation nml loyally accept Mr. Patterson, against whom, personally, nobody has a word ti tay. The warmth of the greeting extended to the rew governor by Liberals and aiike, on his arrival, was but an ea'ocl of the cordial treatment he is bound to receive on all hands during his le 1 in di apped by limitations that havo interfered wiih its woik, because they were outgiown.

To remove limitations and give proper development to what is called the pro. urn i system is the object of the changes no proposed. While it seems like following the order of the Roman Catholic church do this, it is sin ply reluming to the method of ordering the Chi istian church which was followed in the first centuries, a method which prevails to-day in the Church of England, and wherever the order of bishops is known. Just hat will be done in Minneapolis 'it is impcr sible to say. The proposed changes will be regarded with dismay by tome, but stern necessity is behind most of them, and unless something better is proposed they must be adopted.

It means that one of our religious bodies is setting its house in order for larger ana more responsible work. It is not a question of churchmanship, but the resort to pi actical measures tiiat are imperative. The changes are compelled by progress. They are the marching out from tho rarrow arrangements of a century ago into a iiler sphere, and the adoption of methods which have been tested by large experience, but which it was then impossible to adopt. All religious bodies that go back to the revolution or earlier for their beginning in this country have had to undergo similar changes, though they have been chiefly of a theological character.

In the Epiacopil church the present proposed changes are not theological, but belong to the working polity, and have long been waiting their opportunity. They are of a character that will interest all religious people, and ought to bo slowly nnd wisely made. SUICIDE AS AN EPIDEMIC. Cr, Forbes WInslow Gives Three Reasons Nkw Yoiik, September 5. Tho Modico-Lreal tongiesa continued its session in the federal building this forenoon.

The first piper rend was by Dr. Forbes Winslow, of ndtn, on "Suicide Considered as a Mental Epidemic." Suicide has, during various ages, boon connected with an epidemic, he said. I would draw the attention of this society to the fact of the recent epidemic which has taken place during the present year, especially during the spring of the year, the alarming character of which is my excuse for drawing your attention to the question of suicide to-day. Sieaking generally, the reason for this ep'demic appears to me to be as follows 1. The great publicity given by the press in publishing revolting details of crime and trials, thus reacting perniciously in the minds of weak minded persons.

'2. Insufficient power of the Legislature in sunptessing such publicity. H. The liability to act epidemically in the me way a.s I have previously mentioned in st ngss. To the medical philosopher nothing can be more deeply interesting than to trace the reciprocity of action existing between different mental conditions and attentions of particular organs.

Thus, tho passion of fear, when excited, has a seu-sille influence on tho action of the heait; and when the disease of this org takes place independently of any mental agitation tho passion of fear is powerfully roused. Anger affects the liver, and frequently gives rise to an attack of jaundice, and in hepatic and intestinal disease, how irritable the temper is. Hope or the anticipation of pleasure affects the respiration, and how often do wesee patients in the lost stage of pulniMiinry disease entertaining sanguine expectations of recovery to the very last. As the passions exercise so despotic a tyranny over the physical economy, it is natural to expect that tho crime of suicide should often be trailed to tho influence of mental causes. In many rases it is difficult to discover whether the brain, tho seat of the passions, be primarily or secondarily affected.

Often the cause of irritation is at some distance from tho cerebral organ, but when the fountain head of the nervous system liecomes deranged it will react on the Uidilv functions and produco serious diseases long after the original causes of excitement is removed. According to a table formed by Falrot of the suicides which took place butweon 17!) 4 nml the following results appear Of rtocs 2.11 were from disappointed love, nrd of this number lo7 were women; 02 wero fn in jealousy, 1" fn in being calumniated, from a desire, without the means, of characters, li'i from ibsap-p'rnt- ambition, 322 from reverses of 10 Loin wounded vanity, I from gnmbl'iig, 1'HS from (rime and remorse, 72'i tidm dome' tic distress, from poverty, KJ from fanaticism.

The editor of the Toronto Globe iu a lett3r from Edmonton says Ono of tho first conclusions that one reaches in the west is that a vast amount of British capital has been unwisely employe 1 absolutely, ostentatiously Mqiiur In Manitoba one is told that tho morning prayer of the boom era was "Give us this day our daily Englishman." The Englishman 1ms been boom-slricken in paper towns, "bent" in iailway enterprises, plucked in ranch investments and starved on frost hi homesteads. In the main it was his own fault.

He was too arrogant, too omnipotent. He attempted to put into immediate practice in n. eonntry that he did not understand t' methods of the old world, and a p'icy that could only succeed under wlio'ly conditions. Ho would not learn of the mil ive," ho ould not take instruct inns, ho would not iK'licvc that he was at any disadvantage with the mini of larger and fuller experience of the soil, climatii and general conditions of the country, lie failed, and ns a general thing ho Ikuo his fail urn with philosophy, but uono tho less the country MifU id from bis rash and unfruitful proceedings. We have liecn slow to understand that as mi individual is likely to niuko mistakes and run into excesses during the unformed period of character, mistakes and excesses ivro naturally incident to tho development of civiliwilion undor new e-d untried conditions.

Much English capii i' into ranching and f-rming was In in w'. u'e or in part, but in the of the cxperici-te of the British capitalists other men aic succeeding. Fanning in the west has not i able to support the great houses and the lavish equipment of an English esUtu. But in many cases cx)eiiBiv6 houses were built and the manners, customs and expenditures of an English estate attempted. A typi .1 case on a smaller scale was brought "under my notice.

An English farmer canio into tho Edmonton country, planned to build a larje home with guest rooms and a room for manber of a large family, (ret a slock of 1 to put only five or six hundred dollars into a house, to buy young cattle, turn then loose on the prairie for a year or two and nccmnululc a herd out of which he could nil fattened stock, und generally to go and husband his resources. He, howevj took his own course. He put up a b'g hoiie mid bought his cows. But tliey did noi, linden land milking, conn the udders of many of the cows ere ruined, his money was sunk in permanent improvement-, he could nut recover himself, und he surrendered his lion and lumhi anil returned to the old country. He confessed that tho failure was due to himrelf and not to the country, and that he would probably have succeeded if ho had taken advice.

Many of the young Englishmen who came here and failed at lamnm; on English methods are in the Mounted Police and are uiiiong the best iiii'iiibers of that force. 1 am told that the best immigrants thut are coining into this country, outside of the men from Ontario anil the o-vinceE, are from the older eastern suites. The Swedes, Norwegians and Germans mike line tettlers. They are frugal, industrious, eager to learn English and to become citizens. Most of theue presented themselves at t'ie polls during the last Territorial elections, and many who had not become iiaturlij.

1 and were not enrolled were much disappoint-ed to find that they could rot exerci tho franehite. It is said that many of these settlers arc so anxious to learn Englidi that they will not have one of their own u. as a teacher in their schools. They insist on having an English teacher. With most of the southern European races it is different.

They are slotful, careless, indill'er-ent to obligations of citizenship, slow to learn English and in too many cases are not doing well. The make good but there is a class of immigrants from the wcr.tem states, a migratory order, who a.o not quite satisfactory. Over 4,500 sellers into the Edmonton country last year, and this season from 3,000 to will bo added to the population by immigration. Most of these seem to be settlers of a goad clars. As a rule, wheat is by no means the sole crop.

Horse and catllo raising ae carried on extensively, even by the smaH farmers. The climate is equable, stock can graze out all winter, the native grasses cure upon the plains, the country is fairly well wooded, ami upon the whole this part of the Northwest bus exceptional advantages. I am told that there is much good land stiil unsettled, as there are many happy and Jirosperous homes on the Saskatchewan and rivers. I cannot speak with any authority as to the Saskatchewan country beyond Edmonton, but a muss of opinion declares it to be the garden of the Norlhwe it, and settlement is proceeding at a rate that is fairly satisfactory. But there is a great need of railway communication.

The general opinion seems to favor tho extension of the Jlanitobu Northwestern road into tha Edmonton district over the old Mackenzie survey. fimi GhiFgow for New York, reached New York on Tuesday afternoon.

Mercury, EPISCOPAL POLICY. The Church In the United States to Consider Important Changes. (Boston HernldJ At the Episcopal general convention, hich will be held at Minneapolis early in October, changes will lie proposed, which wiii seriously affect the future of this communion. It is now such an unwieldy body that it is almost impossible to accomplish much iu the way of legislation. The bishops meet by themselves, and the clerical and lay deputies are the active and talking body of the convention.

They have to act separately in the transaction of business, and yet nothing can become law which is without the consent of both houses, A committee was appointed three years ago to devise measures by which it might be easier to transact business, and the report of its deliberations will be the serious matter boforo this session. At the present time the bishop who is tho senior by consecration is chostu as the presiding biidiop, but it is proposed that he shall hereafter be elected by his peers from the number of bishops, and shall hold office as long as he lives, lie will have the title of archbishop, and will bo the chief oflieial of the Episcopal church in this country. Most likely the first person to enjoy this title will be Bishop Williams, of Connecticut, who is the existing presiding bishop. 3 his is the most radical change proposed, but other changes are in prospect. The division of the church into territorial provinces, each of which will contain the dioceses that most naturally proup themselves around a certain centre, is called for, and the church in these provinces will be mvi aged by synods, over which an archbishop will be appointed to preside.

New England would be one province the state of New York another the southern statei another, and the group of dioceses on the Pacific const another. This would enable each section to legislate for its own intereits, and secure results which are now impossible. Action like this is a neessity at the present time. Another thing proposed is to make the hishopB a court of final appeal. What is proposed is sm action that the church shall be in a position to meet its duties to itself adequately.

It eoul 1 not be undertaken earlier because the changes to be made in the Prayer Book must first be completed, and this work was finished three years ago. The present constitution and method of operation was adopted over a century ago, when nothing else could ba done, but for a long time the Episo.p.d church hai His Division Was Surprised by General Waldersee's IN GERMAN MANOEUVRES. The Latter Made a Forced March and Turned up Unexpectedly Troops Kept Will Under Cover. Stettin, Septemlicr 10 Emperor William, Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, the King of Saxony, and the Bavarian ard oi'iev princes started early thh morning for Kol-Iiitzow, where an engagement was opnncd between the Guards corps and the second and third army corps. It is expected th.it the second corps will be overpowered, ai the ninth corps will be unable to effect a jurction with them before to-morrow.

To-day's operations ended with the retreat of Tooth corps of the Southern army of AVokin, Storckow and Schwcningon. Tlio victory of the Northern army vit due to General von WaUle-uen's unexpected forced march early ii t'le morning from the line of a ul Krugsdorf. movement surprised t'e Kmjieror, and e1r-o irritated him grcnt'y.

SCOURED WHEAT. Toronto Crnin Men and Ontario Millers Make Energretlc ProtaaU Tokonto, September 10.

The gram sac-tion of the Board of Trade met this morning and passed a resolution to the followim; effect Whereas, the grain section has use a resolution approving the action of the Government prohibiting the placing of scoured heat in the grade of No. 1 hard and. whereas, it is reported the Government has rescinded such order; ami whereas such action virtually notifies purchasers under the protection of Government certificate that that grade is permitted to contain damaged wheat therefore, tliis section places on record its Hlronj; disapproval of the rescinding of the order, and urges its re-enactment immediately that it may come into eflect before the present Manitoba crop begins to move. Attention was also drawn to the fact that the order-in-council rescinding the prohibition order was passed on August while the letter was received from an official of the deportment dated August saying the coining into effect of the order had been merely postponed. The Executive committee of tho Dominion Millers' association met in tho Council elisun-licrof the Board of Trade at noon to-day and prepared a report, which was presented at the annual meeting of the association this afternoon.

Among the matters of importance which came up for oonsidora ion was the mixing of scoured wheat with No. 1 Manitoba hard. The action of Controller Wood in connecting with tho order prohibiting the mixing and its subsequent withdrawal, was discussed at some length. (Several of the millers were of the opinion that parties outside the business had influenced the Controller to suspend tho first order through misrepresentation. The feeling of the association was that tho mixing should be prohibited and the matter settled liefore the standards arc established.

i i was the question of mixing inferior wheat with No. 1 hard at the Fort William elevators, and emphatic opinions have been ex-prersed on the subject. The recent action of the Dominion Government in rescinding the order-in-council prohibiting this mixing was condemned very vigorously, both by speech and resolution. It was claimed that it would mean ruin to Manitoba and to the reputation of Manitoba wheat with the English millers, as well as great injury to the millers and exporters in Ontario. Charges were freely made that the change had been made purely to please certain inllu-cntial interested parties, in reckless disregard to the interests ofjthc country's farmers, millers and exporters.

None of the numerous speakers offered any defence of tho course taken, and the resolution condemning the course was unanimous. The annual report showed that the past year had been the most successful for several years. The evening meeting was devoted to the reading of papers and the election of ollicers, the result being: Alex. Dobson, Beaverton, president; Mr. II.

Tho wcathT has been very unfavorable for harvesting and threshing operations for the past two days. A cold rain set in at many point? on Friday and continued yesterday, and last night there was a very cold wind with rain, and to-day the bun has been obscured, with the temperature still quite chilly. Late grain will certainly suffer, but as fully 70 per cent, of tho total wheat crop is cut the damago will not be widespread. A Melita correspondent write3 that cutting is under full swing, but fields are to be seen unmolested, and will no doubt, shell out considerably. All along the lino to Estevan aa the train pul'ed up at the stations numerous enquiries were made if there were anyone on board wanting to go harventing, JO per month being freely offered.

A narrow strip near Ely is damaged with hail. The first stacks to be seen were at Oxbow, in the vicinity of Estevan. They had escaped frost, and what wheat crops there are ere good. Premier Green way returned yestarday from Crystal City. Ho rop irtn that harvesting was in prop ess, anil many fanners wero plucking their groin, work not being delayed by any wet weather.

Enormous yields of wheat are reported, the Picmier haid, in many quarters, but the price was very diu-npiiointing. Threshing has become general around Peloruino, and one or two fanners have their work completed. The highest yields so fn" reported are George Whitlow, three miles south, 4R bushels to lliearro (navim; bushels of heat in nil); F. W. J'otoro, at Whitewater, 48 buslie's to tho acre.

On this latter farm a measured pieco of one acre and a tenth yielded over bushels. The dcPvcry of wheat has continued steady, nrd averages over 7,000 bushe's daily at Deloruii e. On the farm of W. ono day l.wi, week Werner Hat, thir-hcd oats yielding 1(12 bushels per acre. Feeders could not bo-gin to feed tho machine all it would take, as tho oat a could not run from the separator.

The cry from the country is s'-i'l for more bends to work in the harvest fields. The l)o-jiailinciit of Agi iciilturo has received a lettor lro'ti Crystal Cily in which a request iH made for six men, foil and t.vo fo- the li-11. rom ij'io 'to $10 a inonlli of' led, more if tho men are worlh it.

A special the Herald from Havana says: The insurgents have burned the village of San Juan da Amuro, in the province of Santa Clara, 21 kilometres from Sagua la Grande, a handsome summer resort celebrated for its mineral waters, and have destroyed the railway.

The insurgent thief Lazo intimated to military commander of the garrison that deuth awaited him if he did not at ouc3 surrender. The answer of the Spaniard was that the civil guard did not know the meaning of the word surrender. The fighting then began and lasted four hours, inceu- uianes adding tlieir work to the horror the scene and soon destroying the whole village. The Spanish forces wero not driven from their position, though the inBurge.it numbered WKJ, commanded by Lazo, Ant inio Castro and Julian Liigue. The inhabitants fled from their ruined homes.

Onoo'tho mo; important armor teste ever conduced by any Government pla ti-day ai t' 6 lrilimi Head proving grounds, It' ch'ef object was to ai the cTcci, of hcivy projectiles fired from the big te and tweivo-inch guns on the interna! tXrucl.ire of modern war vese's.

An exact reproduction of a section of tho new bal t'eship Iowa, with a plate boiled on, fonred the target. Two projectiles from a ten-inch pun Mere first fired; und the impacii failed to crack the llarveyized plate, and in fact did no damage that would hive handier pped the war vesud in a ition. But the pi rt tost w.i.s when tho th'nl shot was llvi at the sp it where t' othe" two nro-jeetiloa had perct --Ud. This sboi, was fire 1 lrom a big twelve-inch gun the thirteen-inch is the largest used in tho uay and the Ol.jt.u mo) iaj iiaia niicLiiei, atlt.1' luu plate was so weakened, this projectile would crash through and destroy the interior structaro of the ship or cripple tl-o vc The plato stood this great lest in a mot satisfactory mai'iier.

Then t'e sigmd to fiie was given, und the ten-inch g.m boiled a 5U1 pound Ca pcnlor projectile ut tbu target. It was fired at right angle to tho plate, and at a velocity of cr second, or with an verage of I o.mda. When the smoke cleared away it Win found that the lu.d slriic'. fairly, imbedded it-i elf to the depth oi a few inches in the plates and had then broken oil'. '1 lie impart of the blow had done no serious oamage to the backing of tho platj the interior frame-work of tho ship, although it shtured oil some of the tap Isdts which secured the protective deck to the the top of the armor.

This firou slioi, wus the usual test lor cracking, and t' a'liior plate passed it succ-s'uudy, not a ciTxk being visible. Then a aeeoud ten-inch shell, the tesu for penetration, burled at the target. It struck very clora to the Bpot where the first shot hid siruck, and the remarkable fact was noticed thr.t there were no cracks even in the space between tre two shots. T'ie r.cco id shell was projected with an initial velocity of 1,850 fect per second, and it failed to penetrate the armor, breaking off just as the other had dune. Both shots ha.

I welded themselves in ti prmcr, filling the holn they hod made, and ro inconvenience could have been occasioned f'e Iowa by either of them. crew weld have planed oil the projecting cebjes and t' would have proceeded on her way uninjured, practically speaking. The second shot simply loosened some of the rivoli in the stri'ct iro of the ship at the back of t'ie aimor plats. The two Bhots together decided the acceptance of the plate and finished the tesis ol all of the Iowa side armor. This fiat having been determined a third shot was fired for the express purpose o' noting the eflect on the steel-mounted structure behind the plate, but it was agreed that it was to have no influence on the question of the acceptance or rejection of the plate itself.

The third Bhot, an SoO pound Wheeler shell, driven by 400 pounds of powder, was fired from a 12-inch gun. It struck with a velocity of 1,800, or an average of foot-jMiunds. This shot should, recording to the estimates, have penetrated a Ki-imli Harveyizcd plate. Although it cracked tho armor it did not get through the wooden backing. The enormous recoil of the plate pulled it from the wood about three-fourths of an inch.

It also struck close to a bolt and sent it with tremendous force across the compartment against the inner bottom, which was bulged but not penetrated. Tlie outer bottom was slightly bulged also, and the bulkhead whore the shot struck buckled. On the whole the remit of the test with the plate and framework was considered remarkable. So far from preventing the Iowa from continuing in action or impeding her in her manuutvres, such a shot would have had comparatively no effect on her.
