Quebec Gazette The hard times in
the New England States are doing much
forrepatration. Frencll-Canadian work
men are returning to Canada in very
large numbers. They are all out of
work, and are coming back to get en-
ployment in order that they mayl live.
As the days 90 by, many morcl will
seek their old homes. Mr.. Mercicr's
speeches have evidently failed to make
them satisfied with their American sur
roundings, though he has done all in
his power to make them feel that there
is no country on the face OF the globe
so prosperous AS the neighhoring Re
public. 1t is to be hoped that the re-
turned exiles will find something to do
now that they are with us again.

in our mind that if the election last
November had resulted in keeping the
republican party in control of one or
both branches of Congress, and thus
have assured a continuation of the policy
which for years had been giving. so great
prosperity to the country, there would
have been no distrust of the future, no
of manufacturing operations,
no discharge of workingmen or reduc-
ton of wages, no trouble with our cur
rency that would not at once have been
corrected, no financial panic and no ar

CHICAGO, May 1l.-After much hard
work the committee investigating the
misunderstanding in 1.-THE Bureau of
Music late this evening made report to
the National Commission. The report in
effect stated that Mr.. Thomas useful
ness as Musical Director of the Fair had
ended, and that harmony in that depart
ment required that his services be dis
pensed with. The report of the commit
tee reviewed the whole situation from the
inception of the disagreement.
The report of the Music Investigating
Committee is the most severe arraign-
ment of Theodore Thomas and his meth
DDS of conducting the Bureau of Music.
1t gives fearful rasping to Chief Harpist
Schnecde, who proposed to local firm of
musical instrument manufacturers that
he would play their harps for bonus of
$1,000 year. Schnecke in his testimony,
it appears, admitted having made the
proposition. Before the committee
Thomas denied being in any way con-
nected with any house engaged in selling
or manufacturing musical instruments.
Thomas declared that the authority of
Director-General Davis over him was
merely nominal.
The committee concludes by the ex-
preston ofthe.opinion ''that no piano vet
exhibited for award should be used for
performance; that the usefulness of
Professor Thomas at the head of the Ru-
reau of Music OF the Worlds Columbian
Exposition is so impaired, in our judg-
ment, that his services should be further
dispensed with, and we recommend that
the Director General be instructed to re-
quest his resignation"
Commissioner Forsythe presented q
communication from wine-growers of
California. 1t had been charged that the
restaurant-keepers at the fair placed
such high prices on California wines that
no one will call for them. as they can oh
tain foreign wines at almost the same
price. The Californians assert that the
restaurants at the grounds will not place
any wine upon their lists unless bonus
OF $1,000 to s. 900 is paid them. The Cali
fornians say this would exclude their
wines, as they cannot afford to pay any
such sums. They propose, therefore. to
establish cafe at the California building
in which all wines of California exhibit
ors will be listed. New York. Ohio and
other domestic wine-makers will also he

SAN FRANCISCO, May lin the trial
OF w. c. Rippey, charged with an at
tempt to murder John w. Mackay, the
defense to-day announced that they
would endeavor to prove insanity when
the crime was committed. Various wit
nesses were called, who told of Rippey's
vagaries and erratic conduct on various
occasions.
Then Rippey was called to the stand
and he told with all the garrulousness of
an old man the history of his life. He
came to California first in 1919 and en-
gagged in various enterprises. In 1877
he began to dabble in stocks and lost
heavily for years. He fought poverty
and starvation. He thought of suicide
often. He felt no enmity toward Mr..
Mackay. lie had no recollection what
ever of the events of the morning he shot
him. He had made no plan to kill him.
He never was drunk in his life and never
had trouble with any man in recent
years.
Rippey was cross-examined, but not
very closely, and court adjourned till to-
morrow.

Something of cyclone arose when

Massachusetts seconded Tracy.
The roll was called and the first ballot
resulted: Tracy 902, De Young 404, Hast

ately made unanimous.
The new President was escorted to the
chair amid storm of applause, and
made brief speech, thanking the con-
Ventlon and assuring the members that
the young Republicans of illinois would
see TO it that the State would soon resume
It's former position in the Republican
column. "If the Republican party is TO
be successful in the future" said Tracy,
sit must obtain and retain, through
these clubs, the allegiance of thousands
OF young men who yearly enter upon the
threshold of manhood. Over 100000 of
these young men, 80 years of age and un-
der, will participate in the next National
election, and over 1,00O,0 will cast their
first vote that time. In the hands of
these young men rests the future of the
political destiny of our nation. We must
study now to interest them in our organi-
zation, and to be successful must at all
times take an advanced position in the
daily increasing problems of party and
national interest. In word, let the one
principle that guides rs be that forever
and tomorrow there shall be grand and
beneficient advance from yesterday, and
then, as the Republican party goes
marching down the ages, gathering re-
newed honor and glory with each sue
ceeding year, the young men of the Ma
tional Republican League will always be
in the van"
At the afternoon session the election of
Secretary and Treasurer was referred to

lowing: "The Republican party is the
party of the people, and the purpose of
its creation was the destruction of slav-
cry and the greatest possible expansion
Of human liberty in the land. 1t knows
no sect or creed. Therefore the exclusion
of any person from any Republican club
or organization on account OF his religious
belief, merits the severest condemnation
of the league"

LITTLE Rock Ark, May 1.-Two
weeks ago jeff Barthel became insane
and drowned himself. The suicide preyed
on the minds of his two brothers, and
both became insane and had to be locked
in the MOrrillton Jail. Yesterday they
were allowed the privileges of the cor
ridor, and one, named John, went into
cell occupied by Frank Hickey, the al
legged murderer of John NJ. Clayton.
While engaged in conversation with the
prisoner from Butte he suddenly grew
violent, and sprang upon Hickey with
the ferocity of tiger and beat him Sc
verely about the face and head, and, sink
ing his teeth in the shoulder, bit out
piece of flesh about the size of walnut.
The Sheriff and number of persons at
the Courthouse hurried to the Jail and
forced the lunatic into submission and
locked him up in a cell. On Monday Joe
Barthel, another brother of the insane
men, went to look after the effects of his
brother who suicided. He Immediately
became insane, and is now IN a pitiable
condition.

SAN JOSE, May 1.-THE excitement
caused by the closing yesterday of the
doors of the Santa Clara Bank continues.
This morning at 10 o'clock there was a
- long string of depositors at the bank
with their account books ready to hand
in as directed by the officials of the insti-
tuition yesterday.
Less credence is placed in the rumors
given circulation yesterday that c.. c.
Haywards, the cashier, who died recently,
was heavy defaulter, and had killed
himself because he was responsible for
the crash about to come. II. NJ. Leonard,
Manager, is now charged with the blame
of the failure, and there is much talk
about his filing petition in insolvency.
The announcement that the depositors
were safe, as every dollar would be paid
to them, has less believers to-day.
Knots of men gathered everywhere in
the streets discussing the situation to-
day, ami much anxiety was expressed by
depositors.
1t is reported that the entire assets of
the bank have been wiped out. The
liabilities will foot up S3O0,O
AT present there is so much complica-
