BAYARD RESPONDS TO A TOAST.
Repeatedly cheered During His Remarks
at q Dinner of the Article Club
in LONDON

LONDON, ENG, Jan. 6.-At the dinner
of the Article Club, given at the Hotel
Cecil this evening, Hon. Thomas F.
Bayard. United States EN- bassador to
Great Britain, responded to the toast,
1.-THE American People"
He referred incidentally to Canada, in
the growth of which he declared there
was nothing that ought not to awaken the
sympathy, pride and pleasure of the citi-
zens of the United States.
Although it might be that some senti-
ment seemed to stand between the hearts
of the British and American people, he
was assured, he said, that the sentiments
actuating the best men in England were
Identical with those actuating the same
class in the United States and he was re-
loieed that he had been permitted to serve
as the ambassador of the United States to
Great Britain.
He came from a friendly country to a
friendly country and would have been
false to his duty if he had not spoken in
the voice OF friend, by doing which,
however, he had evoked the displeasure of
some persons. For this, Mr.. Bsyard said
he was sorry in one sense and not sorry in
another sense. Laughter and cheers.
II darts fatal to his own country and to
himself, he was grateful for the distinc-
ton; and if man was to be censured for
fidelity TO the cause of amity of nations
between whom he was supposed to act as
a friendly envoy he was rather 20 be con-
graduated than condemned. [Cheers.
In concluding his remarks Mr.. Bayard
said: ut is in no poor weak spirit OF de-
fiance, but rather in a sedate, well-consid-
cred spirit OF gratitude, that l reflect that
in performing my international duty
have done something to bring the hearts
and hands of our peoples closer together.
Loud cheers
In that reflection is my reward. 1t is
mine and belongs to me. | brought it
here and shall carry it away and Keep it
wherever 1 CO."
Mr.. Bayard's remarks were concluded
amid loud and prolonged applause.

to Protestant cieroymen.

TORONTO, ONT, Jan. 6.-The Globe to-
day publishes circular which it says has
been sent to Protestant clergymen and
leading citizens throughout Ontario. The
circular is dated Ontario, Decem Der %
1896, is headed Patriotic Vigilance Com
mittee" and marked CONFIDENTIAL" and
begins as follows:
country by the result OF the elections of June
last and the encouragement thereby given to
the disloyal elements OF our population have
caused the formation of q patriotic vigil
lance committee by q few citizens determ in ed
to main tain by all means in their power the
honor and integrity OF the, British flag and
dominion in Canada.
Proceeding it says:
An insidious conspiracy has for several
months been at work throughout the Domin-
ion, aiming at the overthrow of the authority
of our gracious sovereign. the Queen, and
Others and the annexation of our beloved
ostensibly political movement is plainly to
be seen the hand of the Roman Catholic
church ever watchful of Protes tant liberty
While several mem bers of the present Gov
eminent are known to be thoroughly and
sincerely loyal, the fact that the government
of Mr.. Laurier owes its majority to the dis
loyal element does not hold out the hope that
they can successfully cope with the crisis in
which We are.
The committee therefore calls for the organ
ization in every district OF patriotic vigilance
committees to ascertain and record the views
of all whom there is reasonable ground for
suspecting Of being in sympathy with the

Morton, who had been named to deliver
the opening address, and from President
Cleveland and President-elect Mckinley.
Major Mckinley in his letter of regret
said in part:
while yield to no one in affection and
loyalty for my own State, yet l, with the
people of the Nation. look with peculiar
pride upon New Y ork as the great EN- pire
State of the Union. New York can we'll

Hon. John Boyd Thdcher-DEAR SIR: l sin
cerely regret that the many official duties do
not permit me 10 join my friends in Albany
on the 9th inst as a participant in their GEN.
tennial celebration. The years spent in your
city while 1 discharged official duties
left on my mind the clear conviction that no
mistake was made when Albany was fixed
upon as the seat OF government for the great
State OF New York, TO be always thereafter
associated with its glory ana its prestige.
During my stay among the good people of
Albany 1 gathered in many dellg htful remem-
brances. You may be sure, therefore, that
though absent I shall on the day OF your eele-
bration remem Der with ceremonious gratihca-
ton my proposed participation in the exer-
eises at this particular capital, and plessurably
recall the discharge OF important and laborious
public duties made more easy by the greater
hospitality OF its people. Very truly yours,

brought in contact with the great
natural resources OF the state.

other states have Stunned. The
Boston Transcript speaks OF the act
as follows:

than Nevada could be selected. Sh,

The cold weather the past week has frozen

NermOnts Early Mail Service.

EDITOR OF CALEDoN1AN:- With great
pleasure | notice F. =. Wells article on
the early mail service in Vermont, second
paper. Unless the subject has been GOV.
cred, ! should like to call attention to
two interesting events in the carly mail
service of Vermont:
After the Revolution we had no trade
with Canada, | think, until the Law
treaty opened it. Accordingly there was
no great occasion for an exchange of
mails prior to 1896, when the treaty
took effect. None the less it appears that
soon after the United States mail reached
Burlington, in 1892, mail rider used to
come from Montreal to exchange mails.
The Vermont almanac for 1874 mentions
this service, AS the almanac was prob.
ably printed in 1893, the postal service
win canada must have begun in 1893
or 1872 The point is worth settling. as
1t has historical Importance. Few his.
torlans are aware that we had a REGULAR
ma'l service between New York, Albany,
Montreal and Quebec in 1865, and that
'"'s service was stml.weekly in 1774.
"hen we came to have argument with
tue late George III, the United States
continued the service, so that Montreal
