TO ASK the canadian Government for
Better Terms.
QUEBEC. Dec. 2i.-The Representatives OF
the different provinces OF the Dominion,
who have been in conference here for some
days past, left to-day for their respective
homes after resolving to meet again when
Sir Wilfrid Laurier returns to Canada,
and to 60 in a body to Ottawa to demand
bettcrs terms from the Federal Govern
ment.
Most Of the provinces are unable to pay
their way at present. and what they ask
is that the 30 cents per head on the popu-
lation which che Dominion pays the prov
inces be always calculated on the last
census instead Of that Of 1885, which Is
still used for the purpose. They agree to
reduce the per capita TO 90 cents for any
province receiving $500 900 a year and
upward.
The provinces also ask the Dominion
Government to divide among them the
amount paid by the United States in virtue
OF the award of tine Halifax commission
Of 1877. amounting to Ave and a half mil
lions OF dollars, and which they claim a.
a right on the ground that a recent judg-
ment Of the Privy Council declared the
fisheries, for which the award was paid,
to be the property Of the provinces instead
OF the Dominion.

hurt. As to how the dogs met their in
juries the police have only the story Of
Flagman Smith Of the New York Centrals
crossing at Spuyten Duyvil to 60 on.
Smith says that the upbound Montreal
express, which left the Grand Central
Station at e:35 p. NJ, was threshing by him
last night when he saw the dogs run to the
open door Of the baggage car and jump
out. Two OF the trainmen, he says, ran
to the open door after the dogs and then
hung out OF the door to see what had be-
come = them. The train didn't stop
The dogs were hurled up rgiinst the
side Il Smiths flag shanty. Then south
bound local am, along.
After that had passed Smith ran to the
dogs and found that the s.. Bernard, which
was badly mangled. was dead. The re-
triever, craw.ed over to the St Bernard
and lay at his side, growing at Smith when
he approached.
Inc fagman then got Policeman Beck
man. who after taking a look AZ the dogs
ran three-quarters of a mile 10 the Kings

and LOT OF bnndages
When they got to the hagman's shanty
the retriever was still on guard over the
body Of her big mate. She not only re-
fused to leave the St Bernard. but growled
at everybody except ShifTer. Finally, to
pacify her, they put the dead dog on the
canvas with her and carried both to the
station.
Shiffer said that the retriever's back was
badly spraned. but that he thought she
would recover
According TO him the St. Bernard was
worth fully $4,000 The retriever. black,

Who was shot In Philadelphia.

PHILA pELPHIA. Dec. 2l-Emma Gold
man. the Anarchist, wrote from New York
to-day Offering to come here and nurse
Miss Voltairne de Cleyrc, who was shot
by Herman Helcher. She wrote expressing
the deepest sympathy with Miss de Cleyre.
The sick woman was gratified at the letter.
but said she was content with the treat
ment received at the Hahnemann Hospital.
Miss de Cleyre was much improved to-day.
Her pulse and temperature were almost
normal, and there was no signs of pneu-
monia or blood poisoning, tho two things
now most to be dreaded. She saw many
OF her friends during the afternoon and

At the Hahnemann Hospital tonight a
careful examination Of the wounds was
made with the X-rays to determine the
location of the bullets. A consulta at ion
of the physicians was held to determine
if an operation was advisable at this time
The consultation was attended bv DR..
ID. A. Model, Miss de Cleyre's family phy-
stefan. DR., Model has been consulting
with DR.. W. W. Keen, and there is no doubt
that Miss DE Cleyre will have the best metli-
cal attention. II was decided at the con-
sultation TO defer the operation for the

A story that makes the deed Of Helcher
look more dastardly than before came
out to-day while a group Of Miss de Cleyrc =
followers were discussing the case. 1t
seems that when Helcher wrote to his
former teacher about two weeks ago, he
complained that the Anarchists In this city
were holding no meetings and that there
was no chance for him to do any effective
work.
niss De Cleyre who realized the limited
mental caibie of her former pupil. was
however, anxious to 90 something for
him, She talked the matter over with

Mr.. Forney has endeavored TO anticipate
the arguments which might be brought
against the plan and hopes that it will be-
come a law as soon as bill can be intro
duced. He says II a person prefers to ride
and stand rather than wait or walk, it does
not seem just either to require the railroad
company to carry him for nothing. as has
been suggested or to make him pay full
fare.
Mr.. Forney has sent his pamphlet TO the
