Ibelieve your pianos to be of the veryfirst rank. Their tone is broad and big,and possessed of purely musical quality;resonant, vigorous, and manly, yet full ofsympathy, and capable of a nicety of ex-pression which is remarkable tor itsdelicatelight and shade.

AIDING THE EMPIRE.

Mr.Bourassa. Liberal. Member of Parliament forLabelle, who resigned his seat as a protest againstthe part taken by the Government in sending thecontingent to South Africa without first securingthe consent of Parliament, Is again a member.Upon presenting himself to his constituents no op-position was forthcoming, and he therefore was re-elected without having to go to the polls. After hiselection he made a speech to his electors in whichhe announced his willingness to approve the policyof sending troops to South Africa in Itself, although

he was opposed to the Government t-iUSig on itselfthe responsibility of such action wltr.ou authoriza-tion. This is very different from syne of Mr.Bourassa's former utterances. in which he in-veighed against the idea that Canada should everbe called upon to take part in the vjars of theempire. Mr. Tarte. Minister of Public Works,speaking at Sherbrooke on the same day. said thathe had been in favor of calling Parliament, butthat he had been overruled by his colleagues andthat he acquiesced in their decision. The differencebetween the Government and some of its followerson this point Is a technical one. for no one ques-tions that If Parliament had been called its firstact would have been to authorize the sending oftroops. Three French-Canadian constituencies Inthis province recently elected members, and innone was there opposition to the Liberal candidate.It is therefore plain that Sir Wilfrid Laurler haswhipped his followers into line, although one stillhears a good deal of pro-Boer talk upon thestreets.

MONTREAL'S MAYORALTY.

The Irish citizens of Montreal are much disturbedover an attempt now being made, with almost acertainty of success, to deprive them of what theyregard as their right to elect a Mayor of their ownrace. There has been an understanding for manyyears that the Mayoralty should alternate betweenan English speaking and a French speaking man.and the English speaking representatives are al-ternately Protestant and Catholic. Thus sthere wasa French Mayor for two years, then an Irish Mayorfor two years, then a Frenchman again: then anEnglish Protestant filled the place, and so on. At-tempts have not been lacking to break down thisarrangement, but public opinion has always beenso strong on this subject that they Were all fail-ures. By rights, the Irish should elect a Mayornext month, but Mr. Prefontalne, the present holderof the office, is out for a second term, and althoughthe Irish have nominated a candidate in the per-son of W. E. Doran. It Is more as a protest thanwith any expectation of electing him. The Frenchoutnumber the combined English and Irish threeto one, and can do as they please In municipal mat-ters. They now say that the old arrangement wasnot fair to them, and say that their preponderanceIn numbers entitles them to an extra term once Ina while. They also say that Ifthe boot was on theother foot, and only one-third of the populationwere French, Mayors of that nationality would befew and far between. The Irish are very angryover the situation as it stands, and relations be-tween the two races are strained.

GROWTH OF CANADIAN TRADE.The Government figures of the trade of the coun-

try for the last six months of 1599 show that theremarkable expansion of recent years id continuing.For this period the exports and imports taken to-gether aggregated in value over $200,000,000. beingan Increase of over $26,000,000 over the figures forthe corresponding period last year. The greatestgrowth was In imports, which Increased over $15,000,-000. Much of this increase Is, however, explainedby the appreciation of values of staple articlesparticularly of Iron. Over $2,000,060 of extra dutieswas paid into the treasury coffers, presaging an-other handsome surplus this year In spite of theunexpected expenditure In connection with the send-ing of troops to the Transvaal, which willprobablynot fall much short of $2,000,000 when all the ac-counts are in.

GREAT INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES.Expenditures aggregating over $7,000,000 are to be

made In the near future at Sault Ste. Marie, On-tario, in the erection of reduction works, chemicalworks, alkali works, a sulphide pulp mill and a steelrail mill. All these enterprises are being launchedby one company, the Ontario and Lake SuperiorCompany, which has a capital of $20,000,000. of which$6,000,000 is paid up. The capitalists composing thecompany are all Americans, residing for the mostPa? In Nt-w-Ynrk or Philadelphia. The reductionand refining works willbo ready for operation byJune 1. They will give employment to one thou-I^m m

wn\. Work ls to begin shortly on a steel railmill which is to coet $2,500,000. It will have a ca-

pacity of one thousand tons of steel a day Theiron for this mill will be supplied by the company's.«Uk lne at Mlchlpleoten. which Is to be connectedwith the nearest port on Lake Superior by a private

EXPORT OF PT TI.P WOOD-IXDT'STRIAL

ENTERPRISES.

Montreal, Jan. 2? (Special).—

Quebec Province in-tends to follow the example set by Ontario inpenalizing the export of pulp wootf from the prov-ince, the tax to be levied being $1 90 a cord. In thepast over three hundred thousand cords of pulpwood were shipped from this pro\-lnce to the papermills of the Vnited States annually, so the newtax win either add J500.000 to the Provincial Treas-ury, which Is in need of all the money it can get, orthe pulp wood. Instead of going out of the countryas heretofore, will be turned into paP^r at home.This is the object which (he Government has inview, and predictions of a boom in ppper making inconsequence are being made. It Is a question, how-ever, whether the change willbe as popularGovernment expects. Most of the Canadian papermills get their pulp wood from the timber limitswhich they own," while the pulp wood that finds itsway to the United States is In great part producedby small farmers who cut it off their own land inthe winter time and In this way a M materiallyto their incomes. It is predicted that these menwill have difficulty under the new order of thingsin disposing of their cut.

TOPICS IN CANADA.

brothers and sisters are carried, and when thattrain draws up in front of the great depot ofthe Quartermaster's Department at Manila it isa rare sight. All along its top ding groups ofmen, women and children; old, young, weak,

strong, rich and poor alike. They bring with

them baskets of fruit, bundles of clothing, mats

To the Editor of The Tribune.Sir: With reference to your publication of "Mal-

tarouck S'»n Ya-ten Guerre" and your statementthat it appears In Beethoven's "Battle Symphony."will you please state what that symphony is? Iamadviw-d thai to Beethoven only the fourth (Pas-toral) and The ninth (Choral) symphonlM wereknown otherwise than by their numbers— that notevc-n Ihe "Moonlight," "Pathetique" and "Grand"Sonatas were known as such to him. Ido notknow Ifthis be bo, though Iam advised It is: butIthink more than one of your readers would beobliged by your stating what number the "BattleSymphony" is.

And can you further oblige by saying In what ls-eue of "The Century" an account of the "Mal-brouck" stanza* and the music was given?

Tarrytown. N. V.,Jan. 25. 3&00. M. H. B.The "Battle Symphony" Is not a symphony at

all. The name Is a loose designation that hasbecome current In England of Beethoven's or-chestral composition, op. 91. known in Germanas "Wellington's Sleg, oder die Schlacht bel Vit-toria." ItIs an extremely weak and futile pro-duction, of the crassest order of imitative pro-gramme music, and nobody has dreamed of per-forming it, probably, within the memory of liv-ing man. It purports to give a musical repre-sentation of Wellington's victory at Vittoriaon June 21. 1813.

Aa to the designations of the other musicalwork* our correspondent mentions, he Is partlyright and partly wrong. Beethoven's PastoralSymphony is the sixth, not the fourth, and waa

"It's flounder or fight," said one of the trainguard as he stood that night before the c<. >kfire, turning himself to the blaze and. with hisbayonet, pcraped away at the half dried mud."All one to me," and he hummed over to him-self, "It's seventeen miles from Schenectady toTroy," breaking off with, "But no such roadsas this, I'm thinking." They had come fromRamhan to Capas

—five miles

—no more; but

had brought through seven days' rations andthe reserve ammunition, and had done theirduty.

The railroad from Manila to Dagupan is nowentirely within American possession, and a tripalong its sadly disjointed length shows thedestruction that the insurgents have been ableto accomplish, while the Americans awaited thenecessary strengthening of their forces. Not ahalf dozen station houses are remaining, andthere are yet four considerable gaps aroundwhich supplies must be carried by bull trains.The break at Bamhan, including as it does aburned trestle and a dropped span of the steelbridge, is the most serious interruption. Allalong the whole line are overturned cars,twisted rails and smashed engines. Fire andrude skill have done their worst. In the riverat Bamban lie n*ne engines hopelessly wrecked,and north of Bayambang, in a long heap, arethe half burned fragments of fifty-four cnaches,flat and box cars in one great tangled mass.

A RIDICULOUS LOOKING TRAIN.Probably no train ever ran that was more

ludicrous in appearance than is the one thatserves between the broken bridge at Bambanand the long washout at Tartar. Its line formsa separate branch of the whole railway service,and the men call that portion "The Tarlac,Washout and Walk." A battered, dented en-gine, much patched and plugged, sans tender,sans headlight, sans nearly everything, wheezesand snorts along, dragging the remnants of fiveboxcars. Their woodwork Is entirely burnedaway, leaving the iron verticals stretching up-ward like gaunt, rusty arm*, still appealingagainst the flames. For flooring serve sheets ofcorrugated iron roofing, lyingloose. These clat-ter loudly as their loads bounce and Jostle withthe bumpings of the crooked and uneven track.And such loads! Hundreds of eases of toma-toes, piles of boxes of "canned horse." crates of"flat ham," as the soldiers call bacon: tele-graph material, great heaps of blanket rolls thathave been left behind on the last "hike" and arenow needed in the cool heights in the mountainsto the north.

Not seldom a tier of the rough, dull red coffincases sways and jostles its lugubrious way alongto where the sub-hospitals are calling for themThese grim reminders of a possible finale makethe choice seats for the train guard, and eachheap of them Is held down by a half dozenbrown clad men whose waiting cartridges flashbrightly in the sun as the train crawls throughan opening: in the forest, or yet gleam faintlywhen their wearers pass on Into the deep shadesof tropical swamplands. Stuck here, there andeverywhere, over all the heaps and piles ofstores, are the Macabebe and Chinese laborersThey jabber ceaselessly as they clin^ in creviceslike animated burrs or perch like skinny brownami yellow birds along the rusted shies of theclanking cars.

WORSE THAN FIGHTING.The heavy bull yokes of bent bamboo slipped

or broke; the coarse harness of native ropesnapped and parted; mule harness gave way,

cartwheels collapsed, and men's tempers wereeternally lost in the splatterlngs of the thick,

ropy mud. Then, when further progress wasimpossible without help, out into the slimydepths would splash a dozen reeking, sweatingInfantrymen from the escort, there to tug andheave at starting the load; or, as happened of-ten, Ifa cart smashed irretrievably, to shoulderthe hundred pound boxes of bacon, ammunitionor other supplies, splashing back to the roadsidewith their burdens. It was a roar of sound andbabel of tongues for the entire weary way. And

when night had come and the last straggler hadcome up on the far bank of the Rio Cutcut deCapas, dripping from his hundred yards bathin that rushing stream, the day's work wasdone.

SCENES THAT AMUSE AND SCENES THAT

TRY MEN'S PATIENCE.

Panlque, Luzon. Dec. 15 (Special).—

Ina formerletter the fightings inthis Island were compared

to those Incident to an Apache campaign, andthe comparison obtains even more strongly at

this time. A strong line extends from Manilanorth to the Gulf of Llngayan. At that point

the formation has assumed a mushroomllkeshape, spreading to the east and west, while

from the outer edge of this seml-clrcular en-largement detachments shoot out and drawback as they explore barrios and valleys seek-ing the little groups Into which the late army

of the Filipino Republic has dissolved Itself.From points along the stalk af the mushroomother detachments have been pushed out towardthe coast or to the interior." so that now theshade of military occupation is slowly over-spreading the whole of the north field of opera-

tions. Meanwhile only little running skirmishesare reported. Scattered groups of perhaps one

hundred or two hundred are encountered. Alittle jolt,and they. too. separate, most of theirconstituents as a result promptly mustering

themselves out of service and becoming only

energetic wavers of white flags as they threadtheir way back to their long deserted rice pad-

dles, while the remaining faithful cnes prowlabout the savannas or ravines, occasionally

risking a few shots at a supply train or. more

frequently, marauding among the smaller vil-lages of their own peop'e. They are no longer

armed forces, but only members of guerillabands, a class that has always met with but

short shrift, no matter what the principles they

seek to uphold. No protection whatever is given

by the laws of war to such auxiliaries.But this spreading out by our forces has been

a painfully slow movement. One reads of theshoutings of the victorious and of the counteryells of defiance uttered by the unconquered In

the great game of war; but it Is safe to assumethat most of the vocal performances of the

last two weeks have been given in that part of

the theatre where the "artist correspondents" or"specials" linger not

—that Is, along the line of

communication. When MacArthur's advancefrom Angeles began on November 8 only two

roads were available. One of these was the

railway line and the other the ordinary wagon

track. In these islands a wagon road may be

usually understood to mean only longer orshorter openings in the scenery. Into one of

these openings, following our men, there passed

more than three hundred bull carts. In addi-tion to this long train there were many four

mule wagons, a long string of ambulances,

dozens of the light single carts and the car-riages of the field batteries. Macabebe bulldrivers lashed and howled; Chinos jabbed andsputtered; mule skinners from ofT the great

freighting roads in the West stood swaying

perilously on the narrow footboards of theirwagons, cursing, shouting and urging their mudcoated beasts through the heartbreaking

morasses wherein the wheels soused, chugged

or sank until the axles burled, when the teamswould give a final surge, only to be Jerked back

there to flounder belly deep, hopeless and help-

less.
