 Montreal. Que. April 7.--For five hours yesterday John Smith. a book agent. kept q large posse of Montreal police force and a detachment of the fire brigade at bay killing one consta- ble. woundinR another and Chief De- tective Carpenter, before he was fn- ally shot.
 Constables Foucoult and Shea were sent to No. 34 Mckee Street with a warrant for the arrest of Smith. With out warning Smith opened fire with a rife, wounding Foucoult and killing Shea. Assistance was summoned. of- ficers were given orders to capture Smith alive. Streams of water were turned on at the front and rear of the house, but Smith appeared at a win dow and fired at those standing in the front Carpenter was shot through the hand and hip. Urged on by the crowd the police disregarded the orders to take smith alive and fifty men began firing. They then rushed the place. Smith was found lying on his bed, wounded in three places, but none of the wounds appeared to be mortal. It is believed that Smith comes from the Southern States and that smith is his right name.

 Futures opened steady one to two points below the close of yesterday Liverpool be- ing somewhat disappointing. Immediately following the opening there was stll further recession in values as a result Of unfavorable advices which continued to come from abroad, and the only support afforded the market was the desuitory GOV ertng of shorts on the prospects of bad weather.
 This one bullish feature was insufficient to stay the progress of the selling move ynent and, without even a fair spot demand to offset the many bearish factors. the mar ket's disposition to seek lower levels was marked At the close. which was steady, the active months were 10 to 12 points be- low the close of yesterday.
