MILLING DETERMINATIONS.
Canada Millers Unable to Compete With
Those Of the United States.

Canada Millers Unable to Compete With
Those Of the United States.
Archie J. Owens, wealthy mill owner
| from Ontario, passed through the city yester-
day on his way to Winnipeg. He says that
the millers Of Canada are in an anomalous
position. They are practically Disseminated
against to the extent of 25 cents per barrel
He claims that the duty on wheat is 10 cents
a bushel, and on -four so cents a barrel, and
as it takes four and three quarters bushels of
wheat to make barrel of -four, the result is
that the foreign makers of -four are placed
in more advantageous position to secure
the market of Canada. Messrs
MelOny, GOldie, Ogilvie and Mclaughlin,
the largest mill owners in Canada, claim that
the millers Of the United States, by the new
process, make q fine -four out of the hard
wheat TO the extent OF so per cent. u the
whole grind. Out Of the remaining 81 per
cent they make an inferior quality OF -four
For the best they find a ready market at
home, but the inferior they send TO Canada,
which sells at low rate. By this means the
Canadian farmer is shut out Of The United
States market by the superior brand manu-
factured here, and by the duty that is i'm
posed on all imports. Mr.. Owens feels that
the competition is unfair. Beyond this he
states that the railways intensity the diff
Guilty by giving diiferential rates,
the freight on barrel OF -four from Wnoua,
Mimi, to Ottawa being only Z cents more
than from Toronto to Ottawa. The railways
finding that their is a good business to be
done in American -four, stimulate il BY Civ
ing extremely low rates for the purpose of
developing the traffic. Mr.. Owens declares
that If the millcrs OF Canada were given pro-
lection ggainst the unjust competition of the
Uuited States he would be able to give the
farmers OF Manitoba and the Northwest more
for their wheat.

He viii Sign.

4 decision was rendered by Judge Simons
yesterday, In the matter of the application Of
Breen X Young for a writ OF maudamus,
compelling Comptroller Roche TO sign the
contract awarded the former for the con-
struction OF the sub-structure and basement
Of the new court house. 1t will be remem-
bered that Com troler Roche refused TO afiix
his official signature to the contract on the
grounds that the firm had failed TO comply
with q special act of the legislature Of 1881,
which provides that contractors for pubic
improvements shall furnish bond for the
protection OF material, tools and labor.
In rendering his decision, the court care
fully aualyZes the points at issue. holding
that the contract iu question Is not author
lied By the city charter, aud that It could not
have been made or executed under IL, and
that the act alluded to is specific aud has
reference solely 10 contracts expressly author
lied by the charter.
As conclusion It IS held that after the
bid of Breen q Young was accepted and the
contract and bond approved, nothing more
was necessary, the contract taking effect at
once, according to its terms and conditions
The alternative writ Of mabdamus Is ordered
peremptory.
Mr. Roche on being interviewed last even
ing. said that this decision YOU d De u nrece-
dent which might make trouble b, tween the
city and its contractors and labOrrrs in the
future. He was surprised al the decision,
but had not yet considered what course 10
pursue, and could make no definite state

AMUSEMENTS.
Our Old Friend "La Mascotte" Again-An-
nouncements for the Future,

Our Old Friend "La Mascotte" Again-An-
nouncements for the Future
The opening performance of the Fay Tenn
pleton Opera company at the Grand last
night was witnessed by large, fashionable
and highly-demonstrative, if not apprecia-
tive, audience. The attraction was Audran' IS
bright and sparkling opera bouffe of 1.-THE
Mascotte," the pretty songs and jocund airs OF
which have been sung in every drawing
room and whistled on every village lane and
street throughout the land. From a vocal
far greater advantage than last night, but 1t
is to be doubted if the roles of Bettina and
Lorenzo, especially, have ever been rem
dered with more dash and spirit.
The feature of last nights performance
con sisted in its quaintness. Fay TEN leton
has lost none of the bubbling vivacity for
which she has so long been noted and she
dresses with as much taste and looks as
pretty aud bewitching as ever, and her sing
ing, too, is not without a certain charm,
aud as for her acting it is the personifcation
OF grace and liyeliness. Next to Miss Tenn
pleton the honors Of the evening were
awarded to John Templeton, as Lorenzo.
His singing doesn't amount to much, but
his make up and action showed the true
spirit of burlesque. He was especially funny
in the third act. aud, in addition to the
witty character of his lines, he interpolated
several very good puns and a number of
chestnuts not so good. Miss Vane sings
fairly, and her dancing in the last act was
very graceful The role of Pippo was well
acted and fairly sung by Signor Olmi, and
the gobble duet by him and Fay
Templetou received a triple encore.
MIR. Guiberson made an acceptable Rocco,
and the balance of the cast was only fair.
The Instrumentation was effective, while the
chorus did the best it could under the cir
cumstauces.
Tonight ''The Coquette" will be given for
the first time In st. Paul.
GRACE HAWTHORNE.
The engagement of the new theatrical
star, Grace Hawthorne, opens at the Gland
next Monday night, the repertoire being as
follows: Monday, "The New Camille ;"
Tuesday, "Miss Multon;" Wednesday matt
nee, East Iynne;" evening, 'Frou Frou."
SOUVENIR NIGHT AT TUE EXPOSITION RINK.
A large company of those who delight in
the festive pastime of roller skating assem-
bled at the Exposition rink last night,
special attraction consisting in the beautiful
souvenirs presented to each lady participant
ing in the grand march. These consisted OF
superb cup and saucer Of delicate French
china, bearing gold band and appropriate
notices. The enterprising managers Of the
rink have set aside Thursday evening of each
week as souvenir night, au / their efforts to
please are being literally encouraged.
Manager Carter announces that arrange
ments have been fully completed for the
second grand fancy dress carnival to take
place next Monday evening, on which occa-
sion fifteen prizes will be presented.
