The Tiger Was Arrested.

The recent escape and recapture of
the tiger at the Karachi Public gar
dens recalls similar incident which
occurred few years ago at Lahore.
Mott, the late celebrated occupant of
the tigers quarters at the Zoo, finding
himself at liberty one morning, left the
gardens and strolled on to the Mall. of
which he was shortly in sole posses
sion. His keeper meantime hurried up
to government house to report his
charges breach of rule, and get war
rant for his arrest. 4 Mortified secre-
tary flung him the first sealed docu-
ment that came to hand, and the
keeper. strong in the authority of the
royal arms, and meeting the tiger at
the gates displayed his warrant. tied
his pugree round the animals neck,
and marched him back to his cage. re-
preaching him loudly ON his way for
his ingratitude to the sircar that had
housed and fed him for SO many years
Like his Karachi brother, Mott had
been reared in captivity, and readily
gave up his liberty for his old home

Cured which attracted considerable
attention Excise Commissioner Bell
of st. Louis was making a free silver
speeck. He had spoken few mo-
ments, and reached for a glass Of
water. As he did so Mr.. Maffitt
leaned over the platform, and, adj
dressing Bell, said something that
ended with the words ''turn
coat" No sooner had the words
left Maffitt's lips than Bell dashed
the contents of the full glass in Chair
man Maffitt's face. Mr.. Maffitt turned
white with rage, but wiped the water
from his face without saying anything.
Temporary Chairman Hatch stepped
between them and prevented further
show of hostilities, and Maffitt re-
treated with the water dripping from
his clothes and face.

Many a Subject Might Learn of Her q
Lesson In Gentleness.
When the queen was young girl,
one of her chief characteristics was
certain imperiousness of disposition.
Her word was law, and as distin.
guished officer, whom 1 must not name,
once declared on leaving her after an
official interview: 1.-The queen did love
to be mistress" It is most lovable
trait in her majesty's nature that with
increasing years mildness of manner
and most considerate thoughtfulness
ity of her younger days. She is
the side of indulgence than of
sternness. ''Have it your own way,
dear!" she will sometimes say in grand
motherly discussion with one of the
Battenberg babies. With her personal
attendants the queen is equally gentle.
The queen never by any chance shows
haughtiness to a dependent.
Not long ago an Irish nurse, in charge
of some little friends of the duke of
Connaught's children, went to tea

The Irish nurse, a most naive creature.
when the queen unexpectedly entered
the nursery, went down on her knees,
after making profound courtesy. and
when her majesty very nicely addressed
various questions to her, replied gran
diloquently: Yes, o Queen! No. 0
Queen.'' and commenced giving her a
long account of her home and re1a-
tions in Ireland. The queen was posi-
lively convulsed with laughter, which,
turning away, she tried in vain to hide.
Her sense of humor is at all times
keen. Once in a crowd a poor man,
gazing at her and Prince Albert as
they passed by, began to laugh ire
sistab bly,; but there was no sort of Of
Tense in the laughter. The queen
joined in, declaring she could not help
herself. The more her humble SUBJ
ject laughed, the more she enjoyed the
fun, and wonders to this day what was
the secret of his merriment.-Wo map

THE LIBERAL PARTY,

Should It succeed In Gaining Power In
the Domination. Would be In Favor OF
Reciprocity and More Liberal Trade
Relations With tho United States, on Ao-
count of tho Economic Disabilities Er-
listing In Canada
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Hon. Edward
Farrar, of Toronto, one of the leaders
OF the liberal party in Canada, has adj
dressed long and very carefully-pre-
pared communication to the house
committee on ways and means on the
subject of reciprocity. Mr.. Farrar,
after an exhaustive historical review
of the past history of the subject,
says:
''The conservative party adopted
protection, so it said, because it was
unable to obtain closer trade relations
with the United States, and in order
to force the United States to concede
them The protectionist interests
are now SO strong politically that
to-day the party places protection first
and reciprocity last. During the last
few years Canadian imports from the
United States have grown, while those
from Britain have fallen off. The
imports from the United States for the
Is years, 15S1-1S95, were $751;. OO0, 900;
the imports from Britain during the
same period S63s, 600, 900.
American iron and steel is dispiacing
British in the Canadian market and
there is a growing call for American
machinery and other manufactures
which are in many cases better adapted
than British to Canadian conditions
and requirements With a liberal
o%vv 20 A
manufactures there can be no doubt
that the imports from the United
States would rapidly increase, to the
benefit alike of the Canadian farmer
and the American artisan. The pro-
tective tariff in Canada has not full
filed expectations. The home market
is small, numerically, and scattered
over vast area. Hence the cost of
selling and shipping goods is ex-
orbitant, and the cost of manufactur-
ing them high, because manufae-
turers are unable to specialize
their labor and machinery for
the production of special lines
It happens also that coal is found only
at the extremities of the Dominion, in
Nova Scotia and British Columbia, 1900
miles apart.
The percentage of increase in the
population of the Dominion between
1881 and 1891, with protection in force,
was only 11.76, or less than the per-
centage in an old and overcrowded
community like England and Wales.
and not half as great as the percentage
in the United States. 1t can not be
doubted that the slow progress of Can
ada is due, in great part, to her eco
nomic disabilities.
The liberal party think that these
and other questions affecting the well
fare of two countries might be placed
upon satisfactory basis by means of
a general scheme for closer CONNER
cial intercourse. They do not discuss
the question of political union in their
platforms or in their speeches before
the public, and have nothing to say on
that subject. But they do think that
both the United States and Canada
would be benefited by the adoption OF
more intimate trade relations, and
should they obtain power few weeks
hence, will, no doubt, take an early
opportunity of placing the case before
the government at Washington.

MR.. BUTI.ER's EXPERIENCE.
Edward Butler, of st. Louis. was
placed in nomination for alternate,
but withdrew, when he was asked for
his views on the silver question. He
created a laugh by stating that among
his friends he was known to be right
on all sides of the money question.
The last convention he attended was
in Chicago in 1892. He said he was OPP

Mr.. Mafitt said he was perfectly
willing to abide by the unit rule, ex-
cept on one point, and that was it the
Missouri delegation bolted at Chicago
he would not follow.
GREETED this conflict, he said, and also
regretted the necessity of some one re-

far as Mr.. Maffitt is concerned person

was not prepared to admit that he was
