INTOLERANT CANUCKS.

The ChrUttan Eadeavoren at Monteal Atoum HostiUtv. At Friday night’s session of the Y. P. S. C. E. at Montreal, an overflow meeting was held in the open air? A crowd of toughs that surrounded the square flung some stones at the speakers, and several Endea voters were struck about the head and shoulders with the missiles. The police made short work of them. This hostile demonstration is attributed to an attack on Catholics, made by a delegate from Bombay, the Rev. Sumanashae VJshnu Karmarthe. He said: “There is a remarkable correspondence between Roinisly worship and Hindoo worship'. Romanism is but a new label on the old bottles of paganism containing the jeadly yison . of—idolatry. Often the Hindoos Ask when seeing the Romish worship, ‘What is the difference between Christianity and Hindooism?’ In India wc have not only to contend with the hydra-headed monster of Idolatry, but also the Octopus of Romanism.” There was some applause at this juncture. La I’rcsse, a French newspaper, has an article which declares that Karmarthe's address was a deliberate insult to the French people, and that they regarded it as such. Saturday night the ropes of the big tent were cut, and other aets of a hoodlumistic nature developed. Police were active to keep the peace. The great majority of Endeavorer delegates condemn Kamarthe's speech, which caused the. trouble. " ;
