THE GALE UNABATED.

shil Blowing Violently Vessels KEEP,
Out at Sea.
NEW YORK, February 27.-So far al
comfort is concerned, to-day is far worse
than yesterday. The thermometer has
fallen to seven degrees above zero. and the
wind is still blowing gale at from 81 to
Sc miles sn hour. But one sailing vessel
arrived here since the night before last
and that required the assistance of two
tugs. The bay is deserted; no steamers
have arrived, although a number are re.
ported of the coast, unable to make New
York harbor against the terrific
gale which is blowing. Tele,
graphic connection with the surrounding
country is in even worse condition than
yesterday. No wires are working to Bos
ton or the East, and it is with difficulty
that anything can be received from the
South. There is absolutely no communi
cation with points in the interior OF the
State.
A number of houses have been IN
rooted in this city and Brooklyn, but the
only people injured have been unlucky
pedestrians who were blown sgainst build
ings. A large number Of such cases were
reported, the injured being women in most
cases. The chasing of hats has become
useless, as when they leave the head they
60 sailing over the housetops into the
suburbs. A hatless man scuddipg along
before the gale lie not an uncommon sight.

THE CANADA FISHERIES.
The Premier VIII Not Acquiesce In Any
More Humiliation.

The Premier VIII Not Aoquiesce In An!
More Humiliation.
OTTAWA, ONT, February 27.-In the
House Of Commons yesterday the address
in reply to the speech from the throne wa
moved by Mr.. Everett, Of St. John, who
defended the governments fisheries policy
Sir Richard Cartwright, oppOsitiOnist, sidi
culed the idea of Imperial federation, and
declared that Canada wanted no ipterfer'
ence with her affairs from England. BE
blamed the government for the present IN
satisfactory condition ofthe fisheries quea'
ton, claiming that the government, IN
giving up to the Americans the free use Of
the fisheries, was the chief cause Of the
failure of the negotiations for q renewal
of the fishery treaty.
A striking feature Of the debate Was the
gingerly manner in which both sides refer.
red to matters connected with the North
western rebellion and the execution oil
Riel.
Last night Premier Sir John A. Mac.
donald answered Mr.. Blaks, leader Of the
opposition, who had criticized the Govern,
ment for what he styled its derelicaou Of
duty regarding the fisheries clauses Of the
Washington treaty. The Premier said that
after the experience Of the Canadian Com
missioners in 1874, when they went 10
Washing ton, and on their Bonded knees
and with Bonded head asked in vain for
renewal OF the treaty and for Americans
to open their markets to Canadians, the
Government were not disposed to huniliate
themselve again, and any proposal to do so
would meet with indignation on the part Of
the people of Canada. However. the mat.
ter appeared to look more favorable than
formerly, and the Morrison bill now before
Congress, it was hoped, would be adopted,
and thus there would be free interchange
OF many of the natural products Of both
countries, and great benefit would result to
BOTH
In the Senate Mr.. Scott. leader Of the
opposition, also censured the governments
fisheries policy. He said they should have
sent armed vessels to protect the fishing
grounds last July instead Of taking the
course they did.
Sir Alexander Campbell replied that the
government had done the best they could
to arrive at a satisfactory arrangement BY
getting a promise from the President TO
mention the matter in his message to Con
gress. Negotiations had been in progress,
messengers having passed between the two
capitals frequently, but he was not pre-
pared to state the exact position Of affairs.

The GAS WORKS,
Important Meeting Of the Board of
Trustees

A very important meeting of the Board
of Trustees Of the City Gas Works convened
at it's rooms in the City Hall at o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. Several important
subjects were brought up for consideration,
the most weighty being report from Su-
perintendent Samuel Darrsh, in which he
stated that, from careful and thorough
examination Of the works, he was forced
to recommend to the Board the entire and
immediate renewal of the retorts in use,
eighty nine in number. Forty.fve of these
retorts were only placed in position last
summer, and should have been in first class
condition, but they are almost worthless,
While those longer in use are unfit for fur
Their operations.
The Superintendent also
RECOMMENDED CHANGE
in the method Of setting the retorts, dis
esrdiny the present seven benches OF Eve
retorts each, and substituting ak benches
of six retorts each, thus Saving the fuel
necessary to heat one bench and also the
cost of building the. same. 1t has been
found that gwen quantity OF coal will
heat six retorts as we'll as FIVE, and the
saving in this respect will be quite large.
The Board considered the matter at
some length, and finally decided that the
purchase of the new retorts was unavoida-
Ole, and instructed the Secretary to write
for bids for furnishing ninety.six new ones
and the setting Of the same, complete.
The estimated cost will be from $4,000 to
s. 900, and the time required to complete
the work about two months.
the HAULING CONTRACT.
The Board also directed the insertion Of
new advertisement for proposals for
hauling coal and coke for the ensuing year
| The Board awarded the contract q week OF
two ago to Mr.. Kenney, ct 60 cents per loo
bushels for hauling coal and IS and 90
cents per 100 bushels for. coke, but Mr.
| Kenpey threw the contract over. The
present price is II cents for coal and 81
cents for coke, which is considered too low
bv those fully acquainted with the work tc
be performed. This is the third time tht
Board hiss advertised for bids on this con
traG'.
lis probable that two Inen, q Ssoker enc
a charger, will be discharged from thC
works tomorrow, as the increase IN TIT
length OF the days renders. reduction o
the force necessary.
It's likely that when the new retorts are
put il the capacity of the works will b
considerably increased, to meet the Away
growing demands OF consumers.

THE DRESSED BEEF CONTROVERSY
Pertinent Remarks OF q st. Louis man-
Interesting to Beef Eaters.

Pertinent Remarks Of q st. Louis MAI
Interesting to Beef Eaters.
Sr LOUIS, Mo-, February 27.--Dunng q
conversation at the National Yards, large
handler of stock, who Wi;hholds his name
said: "Tuis dressed beef controversy has a
peculiar interest to St. Louis. You see the
st. Louis institution has not been taken
into the Chicago combination, and is
sutsgonistic to the Armour-SWift-
Harmon combination, and has to
buy in direct competition with those
people, who secure their purchases at
Chicago and Kansas City, where they make
the market to suit themselves, and after
they buy cattle at their own prices com.
plain bitterly against railroad discrimins'
tons. But these people will find that they
have run counter to the interests OF too
many classes. They sntsgonize the rail-
roads, the butchers, the stock yards, the
cattle raisers and the beet consumers; they
seem to want the whole earth, as the
phrase goes. 1t is o matter of easy dem
onstration that the triumVirate
monopoly has made cattle prices
at CAicsgo and Kansas City with
out regard to the shippers interests.
For instance, the dressed beef buyers pool
at Kansas City, and il live stock shipper
offers to trade portion Of consignment
Oh a good figure the salesman does not sell
the portion bid on, for if he does the pool
buyer will not take the balance at any
price. If the salesman, in his dilemma,
offers the entire drove to the pool, they bid
him away down. If he finally concludes
10 forward the cattle to Chicago, he has
umped from the frying pan into the fire.
Tor the Kansas City bid has been forwarded
BY wire and he will be slaughtered for his
pains and plucked by the pool buyers in
Chicago"
"You can readily see that these dressed
beef people hold dangerous power. Buy
ing cattle as they do, at their own price,
they are enabled to put retail meat on the
market at prices which run the butcher out
Of business in the East, and for that mat
ter in the West as well; but remember,
when once competition is killed, they put
The retail price up at their OVID pleasure,
and the consumer is wholly at their mercy.
By comparing the prices of beet for 1884
with the prices for 1885, and so far into
1886, it will be found that while cattle in q
Wholesale way have gone of heavily In
price, the retail prices are the same.

1t Must BE Male-Apply to the Queen
OF Spain.
MADRID, February 27.-There is great
deal OF excitement here over the conflict
ing reports Of tie condition Of Queen
Christina. Last week it WAS rumored that
the Queen Regent had had premature
child birth. To-day it is positively assert
ed by the Regents sdherents that no such
mishsp has occurred, that she still expects
to be sccouched next month, and that
there is as good a chance as ever that she
will present to Spain posthumous heir,
which will do away with the COM
plications surrounding the question
of the succession. These latter
statements are supported by the iact that
no preparations are making for the coro-
nation OF Princess Mercedes as Queen Of
Spain. When King Alfonso died last No
vember, leaving two daug hters and no son,
Princess Mercedes, the elder daughter, was
the heir apparent to the throne, and would
have been crowned Immediately but for
the fact that the Kings widow, Queen
Christina expected 10 become mother in
March. II the posthumous child proved
to be boy he would be the heir TO the
throne. Therefore it was decided to post
pone the cornation Of Mercedes until this
fact was decided.
There is
WILD RUNoR
in Republican circle Of what is called An
Austrian Conspiracy" to produce a false
heir to the throne next month with the
claim tina. it was born to Queen Christina
and ia the son Of the late King. This sp.
pears to be most absurd SANDER, but its
authors point to great mystery now sur
rounding all the occurrences IN the palace,
the Regents refusal to see the Spanish
physicians attached to the Royal household
and her sole reliance upon DR.. Riedel, q
physician whom she brought from the
Austrian Court. They say that Queen
Christina we'll knows the Spanish people
will not tolerate the long regency which
must elspse before Mercedes, who is moi
vet six years old, becomes Of age. especial
| ly as the regency will only be followed b
the reign Of woman, and that the Regent
seeing that her tenure is 20 precarious, ii
inclined to adopt any expedient, hoWeve
desperate, 10 strengthen her position.
