LONDON, Oct. 12.-The council of the
Yacht Racing association met today at
the Langham hotel and decided to send
the following to Howard Gould, with
reference to his protest against the man
ner in which his sloop yacht Niagara
was inspected by the committee of the
association without his knowledge or
consent:
Sir-I am directed by the council of
the Yacht Racing association to ac-
knowledge the receipt of letter from
you dated September 2s. am to reply
that the visit of their committee to the
Niagara was made in the usual course
and solely in consequence Of the official
measurer having in May, 1896, in execu
ton Of his duty reported to the council
that her water tanks were connected to-
gether in such manner that they
might be used as shifting ballast. No
tice of such visits is never given The
committee expected to find you on
board, but hearing from your captain
that you had left for London only few
minutes before, they requested permis-
sion to inspect the tanks, which was
readily given. Their declaration con-
firmed the report Of the measurer. and
they recommended to you in writing that
the tanks should be disconnected. at the
same time expressly disclaiming any
imputation that the tanks were actually
put in for improper use.
The council fail to perceive that any
discourtesy was displayed toward you
and certainly none was intended.
1t is not necessary to enter into any
discussion of the other points raised in
your letter. AS you thought fit to make
your grievance public through the press,
it is proper this reply shall pass through
the same channel.
The letter is signed by Dixon Kemp,
secretary.

A STRIKE THREATENED,

TORONTO. Ont, Oct. 12.-There is con-
siderable dissatisfaction among the EN-.
ployes Of the Grand Trunk railway which
may terminate in strike. The men COM
plain that they are unjustly treated by the
foremen and superintendents and that
their, complaints are not listened to. The
most serious point is at Stratford, where
orders were given on Saturday that the 700
employees there should work but forty-five
hours week instead of fifty hours as here
tofore. If the employees at Toronto and
other centers are placed under a similar
regulation, some action will probably be
taken by the men to have their wrongs re-
dressed

Of their Sudden interest in the welfare

The speaker then produced extracts
from a speech made by Senator WASH
burn of this city on the floor Of the Uni
ted States senate on July II, 1892. and
said:
II am OF surprised that in Minnesota,
and all over this country, Republicans
are leaving temporarily the Republican
party. when they find that it is drawing
to the Republican party all those DEM
ocrats whom the Republicans in the past
have been in the habit of denouncing.
And. my friends, you Republicans who
are Joining with us in this campaign
have the consolation of knowing that
you are doing it without having to'aban-
don the convictions that you followed:a
the years past. There is this difference
between the Republicans who come to
us and the Democrats who go from us.
The Democrats who go from us have to
60 down on their knees and beg pardon
of John Sherman for all the bad words
theDemocratic party has spoken against
him, while the Republicans who come
to us. come bringing in their hands the
Republican platform which was adopted
in this hall four years ago. That plat
form adopted in this hall only four years
ago begins the money plank in this
way: The American people, from tra-
dition and interest, favor bimetallism.'
DO the traditions change in four
years? No, my friends. you cannot
change traditions in that time. Do the
interests of the people change in four
years? No; their interests are the same
now as they were four years ago and as
theRepublican party declared four years
ago that the American eople from tradi-
tion and interest favored the gold stand
ard, those Republicans have right to
stand there today, even though THERE.
publican party shall retreat from it's po-
sition and go across the ocean to find
inspiration. There is another differ
ence between those Republicans who
come to us and the Democrats who go
from us. Show me a Republican who
comes to us and I will show you a ma
who will get UP before any audiace and
tell it the road by which he came and
the arguments which convinced him.
Show me a Democrat who went from US
and will show you man who never
gives the real reason why he was drag
ged out of the Democratic party. The
Republicans who come to us come with
nothing to conceal and are perfectly
willing to tell where they stand ald
why they stand there and they are
among the most jealous recruits we
have. Those who go from us are only
able to say in explanation of their con-
duct that if we had free coinage of silver

Temptation Resisted and Honesty
Rewarded.

A poor chimney sweeper's boy was
employed at the house of a lady of rank
to sweep the chimney of the room in
which she usually dressed.
When finding himself on the hearth
of richlly-furnished dressing-room,
and perceiving no one there, he waited
a few moments to take a view of the
beautiful things in the apartment.
A gold watch, richly set with dia-
monds, particularly caught his atten-
ton, and be could not forbear taking
it in his hand. Immediately the wish
rose in his mind, "Ah !! if you had
such one" After pause he said to
himself, "But if L take it 1 shall be a
thief; and yet," continued he, "no-
body would know it; nobody sees me
nobody! Does not God sees me, who
is present everywhere Ovecome by
these thought, a cold shivering seized
him. "No," said he, putting down
the watch, II would much rather be
poor, and keep my good conscience,
than rich and become rascal"
At these words he hastened into the
chimney.
The lady, who was in the room ad-
joining, having overheard the conver-
sation with himself. sent for him the
next morning, and thus accosted him /:
My little friend, why did you not take
the watch yesterday?"
The boy fell on his knees, speechless
and astonished.
81 heard everything you said" con-
tinued her ladyship; "thank God for
enabling you to resist this temptation,
and be watchful over yourself for the
future from this moment you shall be
IN my service: will both maintain
and clothe you nay, more, procure you
good instruction, which will assist to
guard you from the danger of similar
temptation"
The boy burst into tears he was
anxious to express his gratitude, but
could not.
The lady strictly kept her promise,
had the pleasure of seeing this poor
chimney-sweeper grow up a good,
pious and intelligent man."-From

Echoes.

All boys and girls have, at some time
or other, enjoyed listening to echoes.
An echo is sound wave, reflected
and repeated by striking an opposing
surface. There are some very remark
able echoes. A writer in l766 declares
that near Milan there was an echo
that repeated the report of pistol shot
sixty times but no such echo is now
known. Sir John Herschel states
that there was an echo at Woodstock
Park that repeated seventeen syllables
in the daytime and twenty at night.
In 1889 DR.. Page noticed one at Belvi
dere, in the State of New York, thai
repeated three syllables eleven times
aud that with great distinctness and
also in Fairfax county, Va, that repeat
ed thirteen syllables three times.
Other wonderful echoes are those Of
the Wetterhorn, or Jangfrau, one neal
Coblentz and one at the lakes of Killar.

called the "whispering gallery" be
cause anything uttered in the faintest
whisper is echoed back in very loud
tones.

only himself, became very angry; The
boy in the glass also became angry

of that fact, he slowly opened and read
the note. 1t said:
Dear Ned: can almost guess the
time that you will find this and the en-
closure. You will have finished cut
ting and putting away the wood, and
then you will gather up the chips in
clearing the yard, for know that not
one will be left to disfigure the place
over Sunday. This will be about half
past ten-am I right land that will
leave plenty of time for you to finish
up nicely before dinner. After that /
want you to take this money, get
Charlie, and 60 Off for pleasure trip
this afternoon. You can 90 for ride
on the train, or get boat and spend it
OH the river. You have well earned
the treat by your faithfulness, and
have not only saved ME great deal of
money, but have taught me that I can
depend upon you. Have good time.
Ever your loving Father.
OF course you can guess what Ned's
first thought was Yes, you are right;
it was gratitude that he had not for
feited his fathers good opinion. He
felt as though he could never have
looked him in the face again had he
yielded to the impulse to deceive him.
And then-suppose that he had not
found that note till Monday morning!
Perhaps the afternoon was even pleas
anter than the morning would have
been at any rate it seemed so to Ned,
Us he lay in the bottom of the boat
gazing up into the green network above
him when Charlie took his turn at the
oars. Then that supper on the island,
with the fish broiling on the wood
Goals, just as Ned had pictured them !!
He thought that he had never tasted
such delicious fish, never felt such de-
lightful air, never seen skies or fields
or river so beautiful before, and won
dered that Charlie did not seem to see
and feel things as he saw and felt
them, never guessing that it was the
consciousness Of temptation resisted
which made the world so fair.
