MONTREAL, December 3.-The Quebec
Press is loud in condemnation Of the pro-
posal to erect a monument to the memory
OF General Montgomery in Quebec.

memory alone. He came here as an inva.

invader. When Americans come here as
friends they will get tho warm Welcome
which Canada always gives to visitors and
especially to Brother Jonathan"

hict.
Won Levetzow. president OF the reich
stag. has wholly antagonized himself
with the government. Thus the shelly.
ing of the anti-revolution bills was also
rebuff to him and be showed his dis
pleasure in rather a childish way by
not observing the sual custom of wish
ing the members of the reichstag q
merry Christmas and a happy New
Year. replacing those wishes by an ex-
preston of the hope that the nation and
the reichstag would be spared in the
New Year the discredita ble spectacle of
such miserable attendance. In fact,
Won Levstzow felt the matter so keenly
that he MAS duly prepared to
resign last Monday and he was
with difficulty restrained from carrying
out his intention by the Conservatives,
who pointed out to him that by resign
ing he would but further embarrass the
government. On the top of these re-
buffs on the part OF the government
comes the premature announcement of
HOhenlohe'B SALARY affair,
A KICK ABOUT SALARY
1t 10 known in spite of the half-
hearted denisls OF the official press that
Hohenlohe mentioned to the emperor
the great discrepancy between his pre-
vious salary ss governor OF Alsace-Lor-
raine and his present salary az cnancel-
lor of the German empire. The en-
peror thsreupon offered to make good
the deficiency from the so.called dis
position fund. This projected arrange
ment was little less than scandal, as
the fund referred to is granted to the
emperor by the reichstag for a
very dissimilar purpose, namely, to
assist veterans of the wars who are not
otherwise provided for. The fund
amounts to 100000 marks annually.
Prince Hohenlohe accepted the offer, as
admitted by his own organ, the Poet. but
he was induced to withdraw bis accept
ance of the addition to his salary by the
violent agitation which was started by
the opposition press Immediately after
the facts leaked out. The matter, how~
ever. will not be allowed to drop alto~
gether, for the Socialists declare their
intention to question the government on
this subject in the reichstag.

--If the judgment of the most intelligent
and broad.minded people Of the Japa.
nese community could be openly ex-
pressed, it would be found already fa-
vorable to negotiations for peace. The
majority of the ministers of state are
thoroughly persuaded that no time ID
present for q Fssttlement that shall Sc
cHrs ths greater material advantages to
their country, and at the same time
guarantee entire security for the future.
They believe that additional victories
may have the effect of wringing extern
sive territorial concessions from their
conquered adversary, but they doubt
the wisdom OF assuming respon-
abilities OF continental administration
which may prove more burdensoms
than japan can bear. Their conviction
is more than shared by the leaders OF
intellectual and educational progress.
But the military and naval elements,
supported by the mass OF the people,
are for the moment too powerful to be
resisted.
JOURNALS WITHOUT COURAGE.
No newspaper has vet the courage to
hint at q suspension of hostilities, but
the government is not prepared to
stand against such a storm OF opposi.
ton as would be provoked by direct
declaration OF opinion that the punish
ment and humiliation of China have
gone far enough. In fact, the govern
ment ia not united on this point. The
militant ministers, although in the
minority, are vehement in their protes-
tations that the invasion must be
pushed far beyoHd the present lines
and the terror OF the Japanese arms be
extended throughout the Chinese do
minions. Many of those who urge the
necessity of prolonging the contest do
30 with sincere belief that the results
which Japan rightly and justly aims az
cannot be Otherwise attained but there
are also many who are animated solely
by personal ambition-whose jealousy

land and sea and who long for oppor-
tunities OF making their names famous.
They are not without influence, having
rendered eminent service in former PEI
riods of national trouble, and to have
means of securing attention to their
claims in the very highest quarters.
PEACE DESIRED.
All these things considered. the gov
ernment does not think that affairs have

pedient to manifest a willingness to lis

THE TOBACCO TAX BILL.
The position of the government re-
garding the tobacco tax bill. tie second
important government measure, is pre-.
cieely similar to it in regard to the anti
revolutionary bill. The Centrists hold
ing the balance OF power may be able to
dictate further terms for the mselves. In
the meantime signs of enlargement be-
tween the emperor and the South Ger
man courts are not miseing.
This week, for instance, an article
appeared in the influential Neuste
Nachrichten of Munich, declaring that
the South Germans had been en-
bittered by many things, but especially
because of the artificial chssm created
between this emperor and the people.
Through, again, Prince Arnulph of Ba-
varia, lieutenant general Of the first di.
vision of infantry of the Bavarisn army
and the son of the regent of Bavaria,
Prince Luitpold has declared that he was
not willing to congratulate Emperor
William on New Years day, as has been
his wont. 1t is also noticed that the
newspapers of Wurtemb berg openly COM
ment on the friction between the line of
Wurtemburg and the emperor, and the
newspapers OF Baden contain guard ed re-
marks upon the same subject
All this tends to show that the ap-
pointment OF special envoys to the
courts Of Munich, uttgart and Oarls-
ruhe make more than the official press
was willing to admit, and also that
Prince Hohenlohe's misHion to these
courts completely failed.
BIsMARCK's HEALTH.
The health of Prince Bismarck con
tinuesito be satisfactory to his physician.
He went direct from Varsin TO Freder-
ricksruhe. In accordance with his ex-
pressed wish there was no reception
rendered him at any railroad station.
The prince was accompanied on his
journey by Count Herbert Bismarck,
Countess Ranses, his daughter. and DR..
Sweininger. He WAS received at the
railroad station at Fredericksruhe by

torches, but there was no cheering.
Emperor William has started the idea
of erecting a monument to the memory
of the late Herman Won Helhoze. He
has promised the sum of 10000 marks.
According to dispatch from Bremen
