OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. FOR THE
SUGAR ESTATES OF ST CROIX.
win Vouclcrs attached Mereto.)
(Continued.)
ad l..


In accordance with what has been the prao-
tico under the Labour-B Regulations Of 1919 it is
here proposed that the yearly contracts (com-
prising contracts with a term of duration up to
the 1st of October ensuing after the expiration
Of the one year, shall be considered as being
renewed for l year more, unless legal notice be
given for them to cease. But in regard to con-
tracts for longer terms, it has been considered
best that they should cease when thc term eX-
pires; so that if the party intends to continue
in the same service, a new contract must be en-
tered. With reference to immigrants. that pro-
vision is in Keeping with what would be observed
in those cases where the contract with them was
made at the place Of embarkation.
The clause relating to the term for giving no.
tice is taken from the Ordinance Of 25th July
1867, ouly with this modification that instead of
Is days, it is here proposed to be 3 weeks or IA
days, as it would no doubt come easier to the
labourer to reckon the number Of days from one
weekday to the other, and as IA days and not
Is days is the ordinary term allowed by Law in
similar cases.
That term should then be the general rule in
regard to every contract made in future, inclu-
ding contracts that will run on til the 1st of
October after the one year,-so that the month
of August will only be the term to give notice
for the October Contracts, which we think
should remain unaltered.

Carl Vogt, the alleged murderer of the
Belgian nobleman, De Biauco, was sent
to Fort Columbus, in this harbor, yester'
day.
Mcdonnell the alleged Bank of Eng

also took diploma as doctor. His res
idence is in Canada, and he is wealthy.

Seven hundred girls presented them
selves at the Normal College yesterday

There are thirteen schooners and seven
sloops entered to contest in the regatta
of the New York Yacht Club tomorrow.
The race will he interesting this year,
from the fact that many Of the boats
ale more evenly matched, and the alb
sence of such hiers as the Sappho,
Columbia and Dauntless will render the
chances Of the remainder more equal.
Masonic funeral services over the re
mains of late Minister Orr will be held
in DIR Hopworth's church, Madison ave-
nue.. The body on arrival will probably

Jay Gould, who yesterday in company
with several other prominent railroad
men and capitalists, started for the West,
has, it is said, gone to Chicago to take
part in the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad election, which takes place on
the 9TH Of June. Rumors prevail Of i'm
portant changes in the management of
the road, although it is believed President
Tray will be continued in the present
position. 1t is also probable that def
mite arrangements will be arrived at by
which the earnings of the Chicago and
Northwestern and the Milwaukee and
St. Paul railroads will be pooled. The
party will not return till the 9Th or 9Th
Of this month.

Moving a Wash.fnnd

Says a writer in the Utica Herald:
You never know the latent talent in a
washstand till you try to move one.
Just to look at one you would think it
could be moved with all the crockery on
il; but when you pick it up the wash
bowl and pitcher waltz around 50 that
you are obliged to set them down to
prevent a fracture. Then the drawer
comes out and spills everything you
have lost for the last three months over
the floor, and when JOS get on that side
10 keep the drawer in, the doors fly
open and bark your shins. When you
get 10 the door al the corners hit pro-
miscuously, and you get the skin
knocked OF from three knuckles Of one
hand; but that makes you mad enough
10 finish the JOB in tEenty-three seconds
and the =sshstand. The safest way
is % hire q man on q fair salary, and
charge hin for brsakage.
