torian church.
Secretary Baer makes the statement that
outside OF the big convention In New
York last year this has been the greatest
convention ever held.
An anti-Romanist speech by Rev. Mr..
Karmarthar has created considerable an
tagonism against the delegates on the
part of the lower classes OF French Cana
dians, and some of the French papers this
morning nave articles calculated to fan
this feeling.
Just as the people were about to enter
the tene for the evening session OF the
convention another terrific shower came
up, and the Meeting IN the tent was aoan-
donsd.

entirety in st. James Methodist church.

marched up to the door OF tho drIll-hall,
bearing a couple OF French flags. Sub
Chief La Pointo captured the flags from
their bearers and thumped the heads of
the latter together, whereupon their CON-
panions raised great howl. but the police
drove the would-be rioters off and dis
persed them, although the people were
not aware of 1t. Two or three hundred
volunteers in plain clothes were dispersed
throughout the ermories on either side OF

of fully thousand people that filled the
street IN front of the exit.
The seed sown by the Rev. Dir. karma-
har. the Hindoo delegate, in making an
attack on Catholicism, resulted last night
in one shower of stones. To-day it brought
around the approaches to the tent a lot of
tract distributors. These are the
title of the tracts they passed
around to the Christian, EndeayorerIs;
or at least to such of them as would
receive them after their nature had become
known: What Do Catholics Believe!
Too Good to Be True" A tract whose
opening sentence read as follows: There
is a large class of Protestants who cannot
believe our (the Catholic) religion because
it appears to them too good TO be true"
"Popery and the Apostles or. The Bitter
by the Bit" was another, which closed
with the words: Long live Plus N,
successor of the Apostles" And Pur-
gatory" was the title of the last one.
Where these tracts came from no one
