The employers were unanimous refusing the increase desired by the men, who, on the other hand, were equally determined to stay out until it has been trranted. It has also been resolved to the Mother Country. We will hear little of such arrangements now for a considerable time at least, reciprocity has been turned into retaliation. Two great English-speaking communities are set against each other over a question which is of no very great importance to either. Retaliation, however, may have different results than those apparent at first sight.

It will teach indeed, it is already teaching the Canadians that their Protectionist policy may lead them' into difficulties. The United States have far more advantages and almost unlimited resources, and in a war of this "kind victory goes with the big battalions Yet although President Cleveland does not or will not see it the States must suffer by the policy he has recommended. It will hamper them as well as Canada. There must be loss on both sides, and what is more important there, will be loss to the iraiuiia. irijvjr, me contractor or the second section of the work, commenced operations to the west of Union Terrace by lifting and rcmov-ing the old causeway.

Father Kennedy, of Meelin, County Cork, vras arrested at that place yesterday for having held a meeting of a suppressed branch of the National of Duhallow. He was conveyed to Cork Gaol. Immense crowds awaited his approach, and cheered him enthusiastically. Mounted police cleared the way with drawn swords, and a horse received severe sabre cuts. At one time a riot was imminent.

Mr Lane, M.P.. asserted his right to pass the police, but on the advice of Alderman Hooper he did not enforce his claim, and a disturbance was thus averted. that, since the conference of Saturday had failed, the employers should be called on separately by tho members of the deputation.

Over twenty men have already left town in search of work, and a number more who were intending to leave are towaiton to hear the result of the further proceedings of the deputation. It may be mentioned that a letter has been received by the local secretary of the Boilermakers' and Iron Shipbuilders' Society, from the executive at headquarters, enclosing 20, as the first week's instalment for the relief of the Aberdeen Society men. The letter was to the effect that the executive would continue to support both the Aberdeen and Belfast strikers, and counselled them to remain firm.

Too great care, therefore, cannot be taken that the sources whence the milk supply of our great cities is drawn should be clean, wholesome, and unpolluted. No person suffering from the slightest trace of disease should be permitted to take any part in the work of a dairy and severe penalties should be imposed on those who knowingly contravened such a regulation. An attack of infectious disease which may not perceptibly inconvenience the immediate object of it, may be the indirect means of bringing sickness and death into scores of households, as Aberdeen can testify from bitter experience. The safety of the public must always form the first and most essential consideration and the hands of the sanitary authorities must be strengthened, despite, all grumblings on the part' of dairymen or retailers against what may seem to them vexatious rules and restrictions. In this connection another point of importance suggests itself.

That is the amalgamation of small Local Authorities for the purpose of joint, prompt, and effective action. Cases like the present show the necessity for some such arrangement. For example, it is significant that Old Aberdeen had to fall back upon the services of Mr Cameron, the city Inspector, in the time of need. It may be mentioned that this same 'subject of the amalgamation of small Local Authorities was under discussion at the recent Sanitary Congress in Glasgow. Dr Kussell, the medical officer of health for that city, strongly advocated the formation of such unions, on the grounds at once of efficiency and of economical administration.

As things stand at present, the work yuoueu on with aj, convenient speed.

If the difference, which has now readied its acutest point, makes both the States and the Dominion give some careful consideration to their fiscal policy, that will make up for the general disappointment as to the abandonment of the Treaty.

As things are, we cannot insist upon it too strongly that retaliation means loss and harm to both the parties concerned. President Cleveland has taken up his position in what he evidently thinks is heroic and patriotic fashion. He is welcome to what he may get by but some of us are old enough to know what reduction.

James action is especially requisite. The committee of the Scotch Fishery Board appointed to inquire into the regulation of tr.nvling and other modes of fishing in the territorial waters have just issued their report. They draw special attention to the evidence given by Mr Sim, naturalist, Aberdeen, in hich he states that in one day he saw 32 cwts. of immature lish (haddock) landed by trawlers at Aberdeen and sold for manure. The committee are of opinion that improved communication with markets and other causes are sufficient to bring about a diminution of tish in the inshore waters without trawling.

In conclusion, they recommend that it be enacted that no fishing be permitted in Scotch territorial waters, except under such restrictions as may from time to time be made by the Fishery Board, and that in the meantime a bye-law be passed with the object (1) of prohibiting beam trawling during certain months of the year in certain portions of the Clyde estuary (2) of prohibiting the use of bag nets or small beam trawls in any of the territorial waters of the east coast during any month of the year and (3), of prohibiting the use of beam trawls of any size in the territorial waters lying off the coast of Scotland, between Red Head in Forfarshire and a point three miles north of Kinnaird Head, during certain months of the year. They also recommend the Board to take steps to prevent the capture of immature and hat fash in the territorial waters by the line fishermen. the countries with which they have any close Mathie, City Hall Tavern, Kirkside, Perth, was charged before Bailhe Love at the Perth Police Ax the Quarterly Court of the Governors Court yesterday with having contravened the Public relations.

Mr R. Y.

The case had been adjourned from last Court to allow of evidence being led to show that it was customaiy for parties to have two or more tents at fairs in Aberdeenshire under an ordinary special permission, but no such evidence had been led. The accused remarked that he had pre-, viously had two tents at Peter Fair and had never been challenged.

His conduct in connection with fiat matter had been censured by several of those who object to the scheme and to His proposal with reference to it.

The Queen drove out yesterday afternoon, accompanied by Princess Beatrice and Princess Alice of Hesse.

That made seem to render it a matter of practical certainty that the disease has spread through the medium of contaminated milk. This gives considerable cause for anxiety, though there is no reason why it should be allowed to originate anything in the nature of a scare or panic. Milk is sp favourite and so universal an article of food that it is imperative to preserve it in a state as pure and as free as possible from all foreign and deleterious matter. Infants in the cradle, children of all ages, and adults male and female, daily and habitually consume a greater or less amount of cow's milk in one form or a little excitement prevailed.

Donald thereupon again insulted West, lauahed aui jeered in his face and on this provocation struck him with the back of his hand in order to-shut his mouth.

The mound in which the graves occur is a natural accumulation of gravel and sand, evidently formed at some far-back period by the river Sgiach, which flows close by. There are four such mounds in the field, which in each case have been repeatedly ploughed over and Bown with crops. The grave lining in both cases is formed of large undressed red sandstone flags, and tW ui three fiat of gneiss, all found in the neighbourhood. The northern grave was covered by a huge slab of sandstone about 5 inches thick, while that to the south, ruder in construction in every other respect, was covered by three large gneiss boulders, the largest of which was a sufficient lift for five farm labourers, who were assisting in clearing away the soilfrom the top of it.

In the southern or more primitive grave was found, besides the skeleton, an urn of clay containing black ash, but nothing else. The urn lay on one side as it fell, on account of the opposite side having somewhat decayed. This urn was placed close by the face of the dead. In both graveB the skeletons were seen in bold relief against the bottom of the coffin pit with their faces to the east. The knees tn Dominion evinced the most.

The showmen inflicted severe wounds on their opponents. They were desperately savage, and freely threw stones at the police. A china merchant from Nairn, who was an eye witness of the scene, received a very severe injury on the head, having been struck by a stone as were also others.

One of the circus men had one of his cheek-bones split. The greatest commotion was caused in the west end, and not till nearly three a.m. was the street cleared.
