'-20.���Ex-Minister Stevens has made publio ai answer to Commissioner Blount in regi'-rd to Hawaiian affairs, in part as follows: "A deep senu of ob.igation to my country and an American colony, planted aa righteously and firmly on the North Pacific ialea as our pilgrim fathers established themselves on 'Plymouth Rook, demand that I shall make in anawer to the astounding representations and untruths ol Commissioner Blount's report on Hawaiian affairs, a copy of which I first obtained with difficulty on Saturday evening, November 25th. It is proper for me to prepare my answer, briefly alluding V> the tact that those familiar with international rules and proceedings, who have had diplomatic experience, must be aatoniahed that Secretary Gresham and bis commissioner should make before the world such a persistent effort to diacredit the recent actions of the department they now represent and which waa once represented by Thomas Jefferson, William Marcey, William H. Seward and James G. Blaine. Tbe general adoption of such a policy by our department of foreign affairs, oould not fail to weaken greatly our influence with foreign countries in any future effort and serve to make the diplomatic service oontemptible in the eyes of the world. Not only is the course of Gresham and Blount extremely un-American in its form and spirit but it is also in direct opposition to the civilizing and Christianizing influence that might be exerted on the Ha waiian Islands; while it ia playing into Brit ish handa, in direot opposition to the efforta of the Amerioan Board of Missions and to the American Government for more than sixty years, in all of which period there has not been a uniform, continuous and path otic Amerioan policy. I also make a preliminary remark regaiding the repeatedly asserted opinion of those wbo have assailed my official aotion, that I waa prepared for, and stimulated to it by the accomplished and Amerioan statesman who ocoupied the Department of State during most of the perioti of' President Harrison's administration. It is sufficient to aay that this expressed surmise is utterly with out foundation. What I know and state on this point accords with what ex-Secretary Tracy haa evidently asserted in that regard Still more may I properly add that lines of official duty are still strictly followed by myself, my commandant and colleague; and the oourse of tbe Administration and of the committee of Foreign Relations in the oritical Hawaiian days of January and February last were exaotly on the lines marked out by Secretary Marcey in 1854 and by Secretary Bayard in his despatch to Minister Merrill July 12 h, 1887. Marcey's instructions and draft of treaty provided for annexation. W, Bayard's instructions of 1887 held the United States Minister and naval commander at Honolulu responsible for the protection of American life and property and the preservation of public order. So much as a necessary introduction to my consideration of Blount's report, not wishing to be severe on a neophyte in diplomacy. With little knowledge of the world's affairs out- aide of his own country, aent on a very peculiar errand amid currents and quicksands entirely unknown to him, he has been partly the viotim of circumstances, having been caught in the meshes and snarea adroitly prepared for him by cunning advisers of the fallen queen, by the shrewd, sharp, long experienced British diplomatic agent, whose aim and hopes Blount has scoured so well and without the least suspicion that he was aiding ultra-British interests even more than he was helping the Hawaiian monarch and the justly dethroned Queen. It is clear enough from Blount's manner on the day of his arrival at Honolulu, as well as by hia latter to the Department of State, written shortly after, that he designed, at whatever cost, to repudiate the views and aotiona of the recently terminated administration, and that in order to do so he must impugn the action of Minister Stevens and of lhe commander of tho US.S. Boston. A total atranger, it was impossible for Mr. Blount to know how unfitting it was for him to take up his quarters where he was certain to be surrounded by Royalists, and where the supporters of the provisional government would be reluctant to go. The hotel was kept by one who served as Kalakua's chamberlain, wbo waa one of the principal pereons in a syndicate that had cheated the Hawaiian government out ot nearly $100,000, a transaction which Miniater Merrill had officially reported to Secretary Bayard, and thia man waa the leading member of a firm that achieved its principal business with England, that was violently opposed to the Amerioan government in these island. He employed as his aotive assistant in managing tbe hotel a highly educated Englishman of disreputable character, who had written ia the Hawaiian British newspaper, under an anonymous signature, articles abusive of the United Statea, and grossly maligning our government's treatment of the Indians. This man had a most unsavory record while residing in the United States, and has been a bitter assailant of American officials in Amerioan newspaper! in the past service of the fallen Queen. He has written whatever she and her favorite, Wilson, have asked him to write. THE BUTE PHOTO STUDIO Has removed from the old place to the new stand, near the Nanaimo Opera House.

Cloudy days preferred for sittings. s-llta en Amerioan rtsid- nt to an Amerioan iinouiouer did not originate vtilu the provisional government nor did the provisional government have anything whatever to do with the proposed arrangements. A committee of three American citizens, born aod eduoated in the United Statea, tbe superiors of Mr. Blount in eduoation and manner, men who had not taken part ia the revolutionary proceeding-i of the previous week, went on beard the Rush, when that vessel oame into the harbor, while I was courteously meeting Mr. and Mrs. Blouut on their arrival. At the request of these American geutlemen I introduced them to Mr. Blount. They asked me to state the reasons why it would be pleasant to him and better for all ooncerned not to go to the Royal hotnl, but to take the residence on neutral grounds, where he would be mastor of his own surroundings. As delicately as I could do so, I stated the offer of the committee of his countrymen, pointing out to him that by aocepling their proposition he would be near the archives of the Legation, which he could conveniently peruse, and which I would be pleased at onoe to place at his disposal. Brusquely, not to aay in8ultiukly,he refused the courteously and honestly intended offer of his countrymen and at once placed him aelf amid Royalists and ultra���British surroundings, the British Legion being near this Royalist Hotel, where the British Minister soon took up his residenoe. The effort in his report to cast an imputation on the provisional government and myself aa to the offer of the Amerioan house to an Americon commiasioner will be estimated at its true value by the Amerioan publio. Commissioner Blount's manner toward me in the following weeks I would not allude to here were it not absolutely necessary to do ao. It is well known to all who have knowledge of diplomatic rules aud customs that, when a new diplomatic agent arrives at the capital to whose Government he ia accredited, his predecessor and the occupant of the Legation should receive him en rteously, proffer his servioes to his success,;.', inform him of the existing atate of affairs, and, aa aoon as convenient, give him access to the Legation arohives. This I did promptly, and had be availed himself of the kind offer of his countrymen as to residence, he oould have occupied the room at tbe Legation containing the official records, whioh 1 waa ready to offer him. Ho coldly repel let i my kindly intended offers, and did not allow me to ahow to him the customary form of intro duction to the foreign diplomatio ifficala and to the ohief publio men of Honolulu. How muoh of hia aingular course in theae regards was due to want of knowledge, and how muoh to his already nurtured purpose to make out a case against the United States Minister, the naval commander and the provisional government, the American publio may judge. "All insinuations and implications in Blount's report that I waB averse to his access to the Legation recorda, is a shameless perversion of facts. To show the character of the men within whose environments he so quickly placedhimself, Itook him the printed despatches of Minister Merrill to Secretary Bayard, the printed records of the recently adjourned legislature, containing the recorded votes aa to the recent ch anges of Ministers, and the official copy of the lottery charter, all evidence of the most decisive value. He had really not oome to Honolulu for any other purpose than to convict Harrison's administration and the Senate foreign affairs' committee of hasty and ill advised action in January aud February last. His manner while allowing me to leave these important documents in his room, showed that he cared not to receive them and the general drift of his report indicates that he did not even read them. But it is well to be more specific in meeting our opponent's recklessly partisan and ex parte statements, and arguments. Under the date of April 31st, he says he disapproved of the request of the Provisional Government, that the American forces be landed for drill. I here affirm that the Provisional Government never made auch a request. The Provisional Government followed the exact course followed under the monarchy. Whenever the naval commander desired to drill his men on shoro in aocordance with naval signified to the United States Minister, who made the request to the Hawaiian Government through the Minister of Foreign Affairs. To my knowledge, at the period of which Blount speaks, the Provisional Government preferred that the Amerioan soldiers and marines should not land for drill because of the possibility of ill feeling between them and men of other naval vessels then in the harbor, but they granted these requests only aa a friendly and customary courtesy. What Blount says about the Japanese man-of-war is equally ex parte, absurd and egotistic. Not long after the Provisional Government had been established, prior to Blount's arrival, I received positive information both from the Japanese Minister and from the Hawaiian Minister of Foreign Affairs, of the renewal of the demand of the right of suffrage of the Japanese residents, and there was known to be ferment, if not an organized movement, among some of the Japanese in the same direotion. It osrtainly was not strange that in the peculiar oircumstances of the Hawaiian situation, thsrs should be anxiety among the Americana and the members of the Provisional Government as to what might grow out of this agitation about Japanese suffrage and certain Japanese ambitions aa to the future oontrol of the islands. The sudden appearance of a Japanese ironclad in Honolulu harbor could not fail to create anxiety and misunderstanding. It was in theae peouliar circumstances that I felt it my imperative duty to have repeated interviews with my Japanese colleague. He did not attempt to conoeal from me his wish that the suffrage rights should be granted to the Japanese as his expreasion to me at home, th it to him the Harriaon administration was indebted for the strong Democratic support which waa given it io the threatened war with Chile, aud that Senator Morgan, now chairman of the Senate committee of foreign affairs could not aid much in the same direotion aod is not a level headed man." Mr. Stevens denounces Blount's statements that two leading mem hers of the committee of safety, Messrs. Thurston and Smith, growing uneasy as to the safety of their persons, went to Stevens to know if he would protect them in the ecem of their arrest by the authorities, to which he gave his assent. "Blount," so he says, "squarely asserts that I promised to aid the committee of safety by force. This is emphatically and categorically untrue. In reply to rival parties at different times, whether the rep- resemativds of the Queen or her opponents, my answer waa always the same, that the force would not land until danger should be plainly imminent, and then only to protect American life and property and to no one did I ever hint I could, or would recognize any but dt facto government, whether monarchical or republican, and as I said in my letter to Secretary Gresham, I here re-affirm that the loyalists and their opponents had equal access to the Legation and to its official head. The best answer to the baseless charge that I promised to use force against the Queen, is the order of Commandant Wiltse to his officers and his men, " to remain passive," and that no force waa used, though the queen, through her ministers, strongly requested it hours befoie the provisional government was recognized by mo and all tbe other diplomatio representatives in Honolulu. ANOTHER RAILWAY WRECK. This Time in Conservative Europe-An Awful Soene of Suffering. Rome, Nov. 29.���Despatches from Milan announce that a terrible train wreck occurred on the railway between there and Genoa last night. The train was smashed to kindling and immediately caught tire. Many periahed but the number is unknown. Further details of the accident show that troop* were despatched from Milan to aid it possible! in the Work of rescue. It is expected ' that the deatha will exceed 30. Moat of the killed were emigrants on their way to the steamer thatwas to convey them across the ocean. It will be impossible to identify many of the dead, their bodies having been burned to a crisp. Half the train was burned, but the postal wagon was saved. A German travelling in the sleeping car was caught and crushed under the debria. He pitifully cried and appealed foa help. A number of the uninjured went to his rescue am) maoage 1 to ge. him out, but he was so terribly injured tnai his life waa despaired of. Doctors were sent to the scene of the wreck from Milan and other placea, and did much t j alleviate the sufferings of the injured. As soon as possible all the injured were removed to the hospital at Milan. To-day the hospital has been besieged by persous who had relatives or friends on the train and who have not heard from th.-m. It is thought that many of the injured will die. Up to a late hour this evening it haa been impossible to get a full list of the dead and injured, but from the meagre details received here, the accident is known to have been a very bad one. A BRUTAL DEED. A Man Pounded to Death on a Mere Ao* cusation. White Hall, Ilia., Nov. 29.���A piano tuner, J. W. Morriaon by name, of Springfield, was stoned to death by a mob to-day near Winchester, a small town not far .from here. Morrison was aocused of having assaulted Maude Markrock. Nothing waa ever said againat him before and when the charge of assault was made, muoh surprise was manifested. He was arrested, but before a preliminary hearing could be had, a ! mob numbering a hundred men took him regulations, he so j from the constables and hurried him to a held near the town. Here he was released and the mob aet upon him with atones and olubs. His pleadings for mercy were not heeded and he was literally pounded to a pulp; his body presenting a sickening sight when the mob had completed ita brutal work. Some of the friends of the dead man went out into the field to-night and brought the body into the city. There ia much indignation here at the action of those composing the mob and they will be prosecuted vigorously. A HIGHBORN REPROBATE. Squanders a Fortune and Generally Misbehave. Himself.

THE GOVERNMENT REPLIES. To the Resolution. Passod by Labor Union Delegates at th. Viotoria Meeting. On Tuesday evening Hon. Theodore Davie and Hon Jas. Baker, aa representatives of the Provincial Executive, presented , to Messrs. Geo. Gagen, of Vancouver, and Thoa. Howell, of Victoria, who had been appointed a sub-committee to receive it, the answer of the Provincial Government to the resolutions passed at the conference of labor union delegates held in Victoria last Saturday. The meeting took place at the office of Mr. A. B. Gray, Deputy Commissioner of the Labor Bureau, who waB present. The reply of the Executive, read by the Premier, and a copy thereof being presented to each of the delegates, was as follows: "The Executive Council has taken into consideration the following resolutions passed by delegates from the greater number of trades unions in the Province, wbo assembled at the Board of Trade rooms, Victoria, on Saturday, the 25 h inst., in response to an invitation from the Government, for the purpose of affording information which might be useful to the cause of labor in carrying out the provisions of 'An Act to provide for the establishment of a Bureau of Labor Statistics and also of Councils of Conciliation and o[ Arbitration for the settlement of industrial disputes.' " 1. That the delegates of organized labor assembled strongly urge upon the Government the advisability of working the Department of Labor Statistics by servants from the ranks of organized labor. "2. That organized labor demand of the Government the privilege of appointing officers for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. " 3. That organized labor demand of the Government the privilege of nominating men to fill the offices in the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and that the Government make the appointments from among the men so nominated. '* 4. That organized labor give no information to the Department of Labor Statistics unless such organizad labor is fully represented in such department. " 5. That this meeting of delegates endorse the principle of compulsory arbitration, and that the Government be urged to incorporate said principle in the Act at the next session of the Legislature. " 6. That the opinion of this meeting is that alien labor should be prohibited from all Government contracts let in the future. " 7. That we ask the Government to insert a clause in all contracts let by them to the effeot that all the trades rules in the locality in which contracts are let be observed. ' * These resolutions were presented to the Government as an ultimatum on the part of the trades unions, and the Executive Council replies to them as follows: "The Act to provide for the establishment of a Bureau of Labor Statistics and also of Councils of Conciliation and of Arbitration for the settlement of industrial disputes' was introduced by the Government, in consequence of the strained relations between capital and labor and the disastrous strikes which too often resulted therefrom, and which were productive of the greatest hardships and evils, both to employees, to employers and to society at large. The Government waa encouraged to introduce such an Act by the experience which had been obtained from the working of similar Acta which have been enacted in many other countries in the civilized world .'and which in every case have been productive of more cordial relations between employer and employed, and which have met with strenuous support both from organized and unorganized labor as well as from all sections of Bociety. "In order to carry out the provisions of the aforesaid Act to the best advantage of all persons concerned, the Government desired to place itself in direct communication with organized as well aa unorganized labor, and for that purpose sent Mr. Gray, the deputy commissioner of labor statistics, to the four cities to interview in the firat instance the representatives of various trades unions with a view of obtaining information and of arranging for a representative meeting at Victoria of delegates from the trades unions in order to discuss the matter more in detail. "Mr. Gray was met with cordiality in every city, and at first a strong disposition was shown by the representatives of trades unions to afford every information possible and to assist in carrying out the obj eats of the Aot. " But for some unexplained reason a sudden change occurred, and the Labor Counoil of Victoria refused to assist in giving statistics of labor unless a trades union man was appointed on the staff of the Bureau. "At the meeting of the delegates from the trades unions with the Executive Council, on the 25th inst., ths latter intimated to the former that a position on the staff of the Bureau was vacant and that it was willing to fill the vacancy from the ranks of labor. The Executive Council then retired for an hour in order to ebable the delegates to consult among themselvel. On the return of the Executive Counoil to the meeting, the aforesaid reaolutions were presented to it. "In reply to the first three resolutions: Ths Government moat emphatically declines to entertain them. It does so because they are at variance with the firat principles of justice. There are in the case four parties concerned, organized labor, unorganized labor, employers of labor and sooiety at large, but those three resolutions demand that the whole power shall be vested in one of these four seotions of society. They ignore the rights of all other citizens to au adequate representation of their interests, they scout the privileges of that large and important element in soceity, unorganized labor,and the demand is so despotic in its inception that the Exeoutive Council oould not for a moment entertain it. " The fourth resolution statea:���'That organized labor give no information to the Department of Labor Statistics unless auch organized labor is fully represented in said department.' "The Exeoutive Council, strongly sympathizing with the Cause of labor, regrets that the delegates from the Trades Unions should have taken up a position so detrimental to the best interests of labor generally as the passing of the afore-mentioned sslfish resolution. "Resolution 5.���'That this meeting of delegates endorse the principle of compulsory arbitration, and that the Government be urged to incorporate said principle in tbe Aot at the next session of the Legislature.' "The Executive Council considers that there is much to recommend in Resolution 5, and will give it due consideration. "Resolution 6.���'That the opinion of this meeting is tbat alien labor should be prohibited from all Government contraots let In the future.' "This subject had already occupied th, serious attention of the Government and i being carefully examined in all its bearings. "Resolution 7: 'That we ask the Government to insert a clause in all contracts let by them to the effect that all the trades rules in the locality, in whioh oontracts are let be observed.' "Thia reaolution has already been negatived by the Legislature, and rightly ao, because it would be unjust that labor should be shackled in its freedom for obtaining employment. "The Executive Council was anxious, in the first instance, to meet the delegates from the trades unions���as representing an important section of the workingmen���in a friendly spirit, and in the hope that their cordial co-operation in the interests of labor might be obtained, but the Executive Council deeply regrets that the delegates should have been so ill-advised aa to take up auoh a dictatorial poaition, and to make Buch despotic demands, that it would be impossible for this or any other Government to accede to them without striking at the root of that freedom which is, and should be, the pride of all Anglo-Saxon speaking people." Mr. Gagen, when the reply had been read, aaid he wiBhed to repeat the objeotion already raised, that the resolutions should not be made public without the arguments advanced in their behalf, as he did not think that they would otherwise appear in the proper light. Hon. Mr. Davie replied that the resolutions apeak for themselves. He could not think that the publication of the resolutions now, together with the reply of the Exeoutive, would at all affect them. Hon. Col. Baker considered that the publication of what was aaid by the delegates at the time of handing in the reaolutions would have put the resolutions in a worse light, if anything. Mr. Howell thought it was hardly fair that the resolutions should be made publio without the arguments. TO CONTRACTORS.

Mary Queen of Scots had naturally magnificently glojiy black hair, but after the historic voyagt from Calai* overseas to Scotland and Uer reception by the sandy-haired Scotch, she sought to give an auburn hue to her tresses���possibly, says tho Argonaut, from an (Bathetic desire to be in harmony with her environment. Unhappy Marie Antoinette tlis- covered a Frenchman who had compounded a powder having the quality of giving to the hair the rich dark brown characteristic of the madonnas painted by many of the old masters. At on. time, in the heyday of the Roman empire, the wealthiest and most> fashionable of the patrician dames ate certain herbs and took a complicated course of medical baths, with the object of lightening the shade of their abundant patrician hair. A similar attempt is recorded of Arabian beauties of the time of the Caliph Omar. Be Thaiikrul for these.

The municipal fight has already com menced in Vancouver, and as in past yeais the aame old parties are again at war over the civic positions to be contested for. The progressive party have brought out Aid B. A. Anderson for Mayor and the opposi tion have selected Aid. H. Collins aa their standard bearer. The fact that the editor ot the News-Advertiser hit undertaken to fight the battles of Aid. Collins ia suffieient to ensure Mr. Anderson's election. Electors of Vancouver haveforeome yeara past view ed with suspicion any brand of political gooda labeled "News-Advertiser" or "Cotton " The famous Dupont letter will not soon be forgotten in Vancouver municipal contests. Our esteemed friend the Victoria Times complains that we have abused its editor. If we have done so we regret it very much, However, we don't think such is the case. The editor of the Times ia a gentleman for whom we entertain the greatest respect and we would be sorry indeed to do anything that would injure his feelingB. While recognizing fully hie many excellent qualities, we have also noted his failures. It is, we regret to aay; a common practice with the editor of the Times, when forcibly reminded of his shortcomings, to cry "foul," and shield himself behind the plea of hai ah treatmeut. As yet there has been no stir in municipal politics in Nanaimo. No intimation has as yet been given by the nine aldermen who now represent the electors at the oivio board whether they will again present themselves for election and so far aa we have been able to learn no new candidates for municipal tumors have been spoken of. Up to the present the poultry Bhuw promises to be a great success. The committee in charge of the arrangements have received every encouragement, not only from citizens of Nuiiaimo, but from all parts of the Province and Sound pointa aB well. (Continued from page one.) are current regarding hia expulsion from a club in Rome, three years ago. Ever ainoe his marriage he haa squandered Mr. Mac- kay's money without oounting it. Beaidea his gambling, hia oonduct in general haa been the suhject of comment for a long time. The Princess limps, but ao .lightly that it IB scarcely noticeable. She is pretty, intelligent and affectionate. People who know her intimately oredit her with every virtue. It iB said that the Prince taunted her about her limping. Everybody sympathizes with her. Her relatives are thought to be responsible for tho applioation for an act of separation, as she really loves tbe Prince, in spite of everything, and would have borne with him had not her mother interfered. Beaidea the large suma tbat the Prit oe constantly demanded, large bills addreaaed to the princess were received. Theae bills were for jewelry and other feminine adornments and the princess was unable to doubt the objeot of the articles that had been oharged to her, but which she had never seen. She, her brothers and her mother were accurately informed of the prince's aotions by pretended frienda. Colonna's "princely" spirit was unable to brook reproach, though, when driven to bay with an absolutely empty purse to face hia gambling debts, he several limes responded to his wife's meek complaints with tears and with promises of amendment, and received a check for a large Bum of money, when, the money onoe in his possession, he treated his promises like the proverbial pie crust. The final scene ia aaid to have been a violent one, in which Mra, Mackay, unsparing of her words, told the prinoe juao what she thought of him aud his conduct. The prince could make no defenoe, bo he contented himself with comparing his Srinoely origin with the origin of Mra. laokay. In the meantime the princess, who was presem. and heard her mother give the prince a well deserved scoring, was giving vent to her feelings in tears. Only Waiting for Warships. N��w York, Nov. 29.���The Herald't Rio Janeiro correspondent telegraphs that the Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs said the Government was atill strong and only awaited the arrival of ita newly purchased warships from New York to begin aotive ag gressive work upon the insurgents.

Ottawa, Nov. 29 ���The Interior Department, and the Canadian Pacific will jointly make a display of minerals and agricultural spi cimena at the San Francisco exhibition. They will largely distribute literature of whioh the officials of the Interior Department have a considerable quantity ready. The Minister of Finance stated yesterday that if the propoaed United Statea tariff passes in its present shape the duties will a' ill be higher, taken all round, than our present Canadian tariff. Some ot the articles on which the duty has been decreaaed would serve to increase trade between the United States and Canada. Hon. Mr. Foster slated that the Canadian tariff revision measure would be ready early in the sea- aiou. The Ottawa lumbermen generally are well pleased at the lumber provisions of the United States tariff. HiB Excellency the Governor-General, on behalf of a committee of citizens, haa pre aented the "Capitals," the champion lacroaae players, with gold watches. The opera house was packed. J. S.

That Attempted Assassination. Berlin, Nov. 29.���Caprivi received the Emperor William at the new palace at Potsdam today. The Emperor told the facts in connection with the infernal machine sont to the chancellor, and said the whole thing was the work of a madman. He added that it was in no way identified with Erance or with the package sent from Orleans. At the opening of the Reichstag this afternoon Herr Van Levitzoro, president, expressed the indignation felt by himself aud members of the house at the dastardly attempt that had been made to assassinate the Emperor and Caprivi, and thanked God that neither his majesty nor the chancellor had been injured. THE CRISIS IN FRANCE. No One Knows Who Shall Govern���"Lo Figaro" on the Situation. Paris, Nov. 29. ���The continuanoe of the cabinet crisis is believed to be the result of President Carnot's personal effort. The suspicion grows hourly that he is trying to prevent the creatiou of a strong moderate Republican ministry, in order that he may pose aB au iiuliapeusalile executive, and thus secure a second term of the preaidency. Either one of hia possible competitors at next year's election, Caaimir Peireira, president of the Chamber, or Senator Constans, could have formed a ministry thia week had Carnot permitted. Caaimir Peireira, especially, waa sure of ready support from a permanent working majority. His rival, while not having equally good support, is recognized still as "the strong man, Constans," and his statesmanlike ability as premier would have assured to the president a capable cabinet, Dupuy, the laat premier, also waa able to secure a ministry, but ho was offended by Cirnot's willingness to deal indiscriminately with men of every faotion. In falling back to-night upon M. Spuller, the president oovioualy intends to convey to the preaent moderate leadera the idea that no one of them is indispensable. Spuller has long been out of competition for the foremost ministerial place. Carnot reauscitates him politically, as doubtless a man of good character, who never has departed from tbe traditions ef his teacher, Gambetta. It will be impossible, however, to group round such a man a cabinet with much promise of long life. Both ex-Minister Raynal and ex-Minister Burdeuu, who are helpiug Spuller to get together a cabinet, are better men for the cabinet than he. The newspapers, almost wiliuut party distinction, express regret that the situation is so unsatisfactory. In his justice, M. Clemenceau, hitherto the leader of radicals, gives this opinion. "The country views with astounded eyes the situation. France waits upon Divine chanoe to give her a government. Nobody knows who will be master to-morrow. Some audacious spirits declare for M. Carnot, others for Casimir Peireira, others, mostly fools, for the republic." The Figaro says: " It is a pitiable assortment of photographs which have been called upon to govern ub. Caaimir Peireira, Mer- line, Challemel-Lacour, Bardoux, Marlen, etc. We have requests, responses, objections, refusals, denials, and all come to the one end, that nobody will enter the councils of the Elyseee. Freuoh atateamen diadain combinations which are ahifting every moment.." Leadera in other newspapers might be quoted iudi finitely to illustrate the same tendency of opinion on all aides. The opposition groups look on without knowing exactly how to act. The Progreasiats left paaaed the order of the dav, the empty character of which shows sufficiently their lack of a practical policy equal to the present emergency. They aay: " We repeal all oom- ptomise, and are resolved to pursue oar political and sooial reforms in the name of Democracy. We will tupport only tbat Government whioh will inapire these re- forme."

Its price in Chioago now ia $3.25 a ton. The year's production is estimated at one million tona. A Curious Suit.

C.. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1893. LOCAL NEWS. Electrical. Among the arrivals at the Hotel Wilaon are Messrs. H. P. Dwight and Frederick Nichola, of Toronto. Mr. Dwight ia vice- president and- Mr. Nichola general manager of the Canadian General Electrical Co., of Peterborough, with head office at Toronto, and are on a general inspection of their western agenciea. While looking into the interests of the company which they represent tney are alao combining pleaaure with business, and are making many other enquiries aB to the resources and general commercial standing of the country, which any business man of keen perceptions would naturally enquire into. The Canadian Electrical Co. ia a very large conoern with a capital of $1,500,000 and may be said to have almost the entire business in electrical supplies ot the Dominion of Canada. In British Columbia, through their geueral agent Mr. H. Pym of Vancouver, they do by far the major part of the business, Aa a specimen of the handiwork of the firm may be mentioned the electrical locomotives at present in use between No. 1 shaft and Protection Island. The first two locomotives were bought through the Edison Company but supplied by Mr. Dwighi's Company, the third and laat locomotive waa supplied by the Toronto firm direct. Mr. Dwight and Mr. Nichola purpose spending to-day in inspecting the various collieries and to-morrow will take their departure by train for Victoria. Dumping Ballast. A prominent ship's captain in conversation with a Telegram representative yesterday, complained of the practice of dumping ballaat from sailing vessels, chartered to load lumber at Moodville and Vancouver, in the north side of Burrard Inlet, between Moodyville and the first narrows. He says that bars are being formed in the neighborhood of tbe narrows by these cargoes of ballast drifting out with the tide, and that unless the praotioe is stopped by the authorities serious consequences will result. In view of the fact that the C.P.B. Co. has gone to great expense in hauling dirt to fill in the trestle work about their wharves it seems strange that ships are not allowed to run alongside the wharves and dump their ballast so as to till in the piled ground under the freight sheds and wharves. Scrimmage. As some 20 Chinamen were going home from No. 1 shaft last night they met some young men on Haliburton street,who, thinking John was a fair object for their attack, oommenced to fire snowballs, but John, instead of running away as these young men anticipated, turned round and returned the fire with interest, only instead of confining the missiles to enow they concealed Btones within the snow. John came off victorious and one of the young men was seen limping down the street with a particularly bad knee joint and might have whistled "Mother I've come home to die." Skating. For the last three days there has been very good skating at the Swamp, East Wellington, which has been taken advantage of by many people from Nanaimo. The first day however, the ice was a little tender in places and one young lady went through into the water up to her neck. She was pulled out by a young gentleman who was near athandand taken home. The snow fallen last night will not stop this healthy enjoyment, but it will not improve it. A Temperance Worker Dead. The Good Templar lpdges of the city will learn with regret of the death of Mrs. A, Brookman, R. W. G., Superintendent of ths Juvenile Work of the Good Templars. The deceased lady was a resident of Jefferson- ville, Ind., where her funeral took place. Her career was that of an earnest, aotive and consistent worker in the cause which she had espoused. The Beautiful. Snow lies thickly on the line of the E. k N. Bailway between Nanaimo and Victoria. Snow oommenced to fall yesterday about 2 p. m., and, according to weather prophets, the storm is likely to last for the next 24 hours. * Schools of Instruction. Military men in Victoria propose the establishment of schools of instruction in the island and mainland cities, in order to supply the deficiency cauaed by the cloaing of the Boyal School of Artillery, consequent on the removal of C.

ARTISTIC HOUSEMEN. The Wild Cossacks of Russia and Their Marvelous Feats. AN INSANE BELIEF. After Centuries of Marauding; They Have Become Disciplined Soldiers and Have Few Superiors aa Klfleraen. A tribe of people known centuries ago as the wild Kazaks of Dnieper and the Don, freebooters, as the name implies in the Tartar tongue, has gradually been brought under rigid military rule, so that at the present day the descendants of this restless, warfaring race furnish the Russian empire with one of the most valuable elements of the national army. Their career as freebooters came to an end under the reign of Ivan IV., and since then they have rendered excellent service as scouts and skirmishers, and their good offices in the protection of the frontiers from the Caucasus to China are almost invaluable. They are light-armed soldiers, and, according to a writer in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, above all, artists on the horse. They ride their horses as easily bareback without saddle or bridle as with the usual equipments, and always at the briskest trot or the wildest gallop. The "Djighitovka," as they call their military code, which prescribes the many hazardous exercises practiced by the Cossacks, is calculated to fit the young cadets, the "Djighites," for the hardest and most perilous service rendered by this branch of the Russian army. When the cadet has gone through the intricacies of thai Djighitovka, at which time he has attained his twenty-first year, he has lost all sense of difficulty or fear and enters upon his active regimental service for four years. Among the most commonplace exercises which the code prescribes are hurdle racing on the part of the men armed with sword aud gun; shooting in every imaginable position, as turning backward in the saddle or using the horse as a bulwark to fire from behind. The latter exercise is particularly interesting. The Cossacks approach at a mad gallop, come to a sudden stop and jump from their horses, while the latter, trained as carefully as the men, lie down without a word of command and protect their riders with their flankB. The Djighitovka is divided into two kinds of exercises, the arbitrary and the voluntary. The. latter embraces a line of feats of which the best professional circus rider need not be ashamed. The men jump to the ground and back on their horses as they gallop madly along; they bend away down and lift objects from the ground as they tear over the open fields; they jump from one horse to another while the latter goes at full speed, or they ride along standing upright in the saddle and throwing the spear. In the latter case the Cossack stands really in his stirrups, which have been previously crossed back and forth to bring them on a level with the saddle. Standing on their heads while charging over an open field is by no means an unusual exercise. One shoulder pressed against the saddle, the Cossack maintains his equilibrium by clutching the stirrups with both hands. The ambulance service with the Cossack regiments is limited to mutual help. Two mounted men on horses will hold a wounded comrade between them to remove him from the battle field. Besides these wonderful feats of individual horsemanship the Cossacks execute exploits iu groups, showing a daring rider carrying a comrade on his shoulders to fire at high range. Cossack military training comprises two chief branches, that of handling a horse, and using either sword or gun with equal facility and to tho greatest disadvantage of the enemy. While the regular code exercises are hazardous enough, the voluntary ones are always accompanied by great risk and danger, and energy and dauntlessness are as necessary elements as suppleness of limb. Much depends also upon the horses, and because men find animals differ materially in point of natural aptitude, the latter exercises are not required generally but can be chosen at will, although the hardest and most vigorous cadets are encouraged very liberally to go through them and personal rivalry has much to do with developing marvelously fearless Cossacks for his majesty, the czar. Accidents, which are bound to occur now and then, do not diminish the number of candidates for that course of military training. A Russian proverb says: "Those who cut wood must not mind if the chips fly," and Oen. Zey- dlitz's reply to his royal master has become proverbial among the Cossacks. "How is it," asked the king, "that so many men in your regiment break their necks?" "Your majesty," answered Zeydlitz, "if you desire it it shall be stopped, but in that case I will not be responsible for the conduct of the regiment when it faces the enemy." Russian Peasants Who Have No Use for Soap and Water. Some Revolting Customs of tbe Plague- Strlcken Country ���A Land Where Cholera Finds a Breeding Place. The Growth of Man's Heard. If a youth began to shave at the age of seventeen years and continued to do so until he was seventy, he would, assuming that his hair maintained the average rate of growth, have removed 5 length of nine yards. But had the hair been allowed to grow the result would have been different to what might be inferred. The growth from the roots would have continued, but on reaching a length of between eighteen and tweDty-four inches the hair would have become brittle, have split and broken. The greatest length of beard usual in our climate seldom exceeds two feet. In hot climates, owing to the moist state of the skin, the hair grows much more rapidly and profusely than in cold or temperate climates. In the east flowing beards from three to four feet in length are not unusual. Iu no part of Europe are public baths so accessible to the lower order of people as in Russia, and nowhere are baths in such general use. Hut the attraction i of the bath is not soap and water, but the hot vapor for which thu Russian i has such an affection. The bath itself is in many eases a nest of loathsome disease germs. The patronizers of these institutions very often have no use whatever for the washwoman. This is true not only of tbe very poor. Of an inmate of one of the gigantic apartment houses of St. Petersburg, who was a man of property, the Novoe Vremya casually remarked: "He never has his linen washed. Whenever he puts on a shirt he puts it on for good, and he wears it until it drops in shreds off his back." As for sanitary preparation against cholera, the New York Times says the Russian peasants would look upon this as a profane interference with providence. It is said that they explain the outbreak of the cholera as the result of machinations of English enemies, who went visiting the famine districts last year, and %vho, under the pretense of distributing alms to the hungry, bribed Russian physicians to work this spell upon the people. The proper preventatives to use against cholera are the prayers of priests and the counter spells of lasses plowing in the dead of the night. Sanitary precautions are not legitimate. Another difficulty in the way of sanitation is the expense of it. It has been calculated by experts that the sanitation of a peasant's hut would cost seven rubles (about three dollars and seventy-five cents), and no Russian peasant would think of sparing such a sum for the purpose. The sanitation of the cities and rivers would involve a greater outlay than was caused by the famine, and within a year the work would have to be done over again. In describing the things which Russians eat and drink Mr. Lanin says that it requires great caution to keep within limits of decency of language and yet give an adequate notion of the subject. The foreign visitors to St. Petersburg or Moscow who stroll down "Glutton's Row" will see men and women, boys and girls, devouring hidecis messes which would be speedily destroyed by the sanitary officers of other countries. So much for the food of the poor. But it is said that the manner of preparing food in "first class" bakeries and butcher shops would not bear relation in plain English. Thus, it is said that in the preparation of the exquisite jams by the most renowned Russian eonfeetion- t rs the seeds are separated from currants, gooseberries, etc., not by means of a mechanical apparatus but by the application of human lips, poor women being employed to do the work. The facts as to the preparation of the national drink (quass) are of the same sort. Of course it is not necessary to drink quass, but the water is said to be no better. No city or hamlet in Russia has drinking water pure enough to meet the requirements of the most tolerant sanitary engineer in more western countries. In Baku, where the cholera found favorable soil, a semi-official Russian journal says that "in many yards, stand artificial ponds filled with water carried thither in jars. In this water the inhabitants are wont to perform their daily ablutions, bathing every day. They also use it to wash their fruits and commodities, besides which they drink it." In a scientific treatise by a Dr. Kolokoloff on the waters of St. Petersburg it is said that one of the rivers of the capital receives daily from the city one-seventh of its own bulk in impurities. PERFECTLY HARMLESS. An Adventure with a His* Mountain Lion in New Mexico. "I once had an adventure in New Mexico that made a terrific draft on my nervous system," said Walter Phelps to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat man. "I had set out to walk from the station to the ranch of an old friend, some four miles out, and when I had covered about half the distance :: gigantic mountain lion came sidling up to me. "I had not even :i pocketknife, and, as the fiction grinders sny, my feelings can better be Imn 'hied thau described. When a few feet distant he stopped and looked me over, and 1 thought he was trj*ing to make up his mind what portion he preferred for breakfast. I had heard muclvof the power of the human eye, and I proceeded to put on the most tragic frown and to stare at him fixedly. This so overcame him that he sat down on his haunches and batted his eyes lazily. I continued to stare and frown, and he came slowly up to me, rubbed his head against my trembling knees and made a purring sound that resembled a giant coffee mill in motion. He was evidently not hungry. "I walked slowly along in the direction of the ranch, and that powerful cat continued to rub against my limbs and purr. There was not a tree or house for the entire distance, and the brute stuck to me like a cockle burr to a merino sheep. When I rapped at the door he got down and made his toilet by rubbing his big paws over his face. When my friend opened the door I found that I had inadvertently dropped my voice along the road somewhere. I could only point to my companion as I hastily scrambled inside. 'My pet,' said he; 'raised him from a kitten; harmless as a dove and sociable as a grass widow.'" CHINESE NUMERALS. The Methods Adopted by Mongolian Laundrymen. John Rune Out of Fiffurea When He Beachea the Hundred Mark and Has to Reaort to Words to Keep Coun The Chinese laundryman is as a rule a very uncommunicative individual and does not make any great effort to enter into more intimate relations with strangers. However, the almond-eyed celestial with whom a Brooklyn Eagle man came in contact proved to be a j little more free spoken than his countrymen generally are, possibly because he had mastered the language better than most Chinamen. He seemed ready to answer any interrogation that might be put to him, and in response to an inquiry willingly explained the system of laundry checks in universal use among Chinamen. To begin with, he illustrated how the checks were written with a brush-like pen with India ink on the red or green slips of paper. Usually red paper is used for bundles of collars and cuffs alone, and the green checks for bundles of laundry composed of different articles. The Chinese system of counting is similar to our own ���that is, there are nine figures, but there is another character for ten which resembles a cross. The other nine figures are of curious formation, easily recognizable as being Chinese characters. The 1, 2 and 3 are represented by horizontal lines, the same as Roman numerals, except that the latter are vertical. The rest are of peculiar formation impossible to describe. Now comes the point of difference between the Arabic system of notation and that of the disciples of Confucius. Instead of using the first nine figures combined with the figure 10 to express numbers greater than 10, the Chinese have different characters, which with the cross (10) are equivalent to what we call our "teens." Then the multiples of 10 are formed by the use of the same characters as for the teens, but the cross for 10 is placed to the right of the other character. There still remain all the other numbers beyond 20, except the multiples of ten, to be provided for. These are formed by combining the character used for the multiple of 10 and the character denoting the figure which, if added to the multiple, will make the desired number, except that, in combining the two, the cross denoting the ly is omitted. For example, in writing 40 a character resembling our X is placed to the left of the cross (10), and to make 43 the X and three lines, vertical in this ease, are used, omitting the cross used in writing 40. Thus it will be seen that they will have eighteen characters while we have but ten, and our system is not nearly so cumbersome. To recapitulate, they have the nine characters which are represented by our own nine digits and the cross for 10, which we form by combining the 0 and the 1. There are eight more characters used in forming all the rest of the numbers. The 2 and 3 when used in forming these numbers are written vertically: the 4 is an X, the 5 resembles an 8, the 6 is like an L, the 7 the same with a line under it, the 8 the same with two lines under it and the 0 a combination of two curved lines. The Chinese cannot count beyond 100, or 99, rather, and so when the laundryman has exhausted all his numbers he is forced to fall back on words. Therefore he writes a word on the check twice, just the same as the number is written twice. The number is often written in the center also, and the check torn in two pieces right through these characters, and thus an additional safeguard is provided. The word written on the check is generally the name of some familiar object or a motto. With each hundred cheeks this, of course, has to be ehauged. When the goods are put in the wash a strip of cotton cloth is tied to each one on which is written the number and, if necessary, the additional word and number of articles which have the same number. It will be seen that the system is cumbrous, necessitating much work. The price of the washing is marked on the part of the check the laundryman keeps, so that he can tell at a glance how much to charge. ORCHID TEA. A Beverage of Which Frenchmen Are Nald to Be Fond. It appears, from a London paper, that Frenchmen have been drinking orchid tea for fifty years, and that the consumption of this expensive delicacy has much increased of late. The orchid from which the tea is made is a member of one of the handsomest and most expensive families���the Angroe- cum. It grows in the forests of Bourbon and Mauritius, and the scientific know it as Angroecum fragrans. The commercial virtue of the plant lies in the strong perfume of its leaves. The genus is allied to vanilla, and it is only necessary "to touch the fresh leaves for the fingers to remain impregnated with the aroma," which remains after the leaves have been dried. This process is very simple, apparently. No heat is applied and no coloring matter. The decoction is equally easy. You just lay the leaves and stalks in cold water, about one gramme to a teacup^���more or less, according to taste��� close the vessel tight and boil for ten minutes. The tea may be sweetened, aud milk and rum bring out the flavor of the vanilla more strongly. It is as good coM as hot, and may be wanned up without deterioration. Material enough for fifty cups is sold in Paris for two francs fifty centimes. It ia called faham, as in Mauritius. 4 JOB �� PRINTING The season is now appro iching when every Merchant and Business Man will require a new stock of Office Stationery and other printed matter m CHE DAILY TELEGRAM S_��.S THE- Best Equipped Job Printing Office In the Province, and carries a large stock of all kinds of Paper and Cardboards.

A gentleman, a stranger in the oity, speaking of the poultry exhibit last night, asked if it were true that the Poultry Society were admitting nightingales. The Bawnmore Incident. A sailor named Billy Ives, arrested at Port Townsend on Saturday for the alleged embezzlement of $200, has been telling some sensational stories of Johnson the San Francisco dynamiter. Johnson, he says, makes it a boast that he placed the dynamite in the hold of the steamer Bawnmore at Nanaimo. Ivea saya that Johnaon is now either in Australia or in Europe. Declared a Fabrication. A gentleman at present residing in Victoria, who waa one of the crew of the bark George Thompson when the alleged Tahiti** princess came to Viotoria on her, says the story given out by the princess and published by the papers of the Sound and this Province is a fabrication from beginning to end. When the George Thompson was leaving Tahiti, this gentleman says, the woman who now claims to be a princess asked Capt. Barneaon to bring her over. He at firat refused, but she bagged so pitifully, that he finally consented. She had no fine clothes or jewelry at that time. Capt. Barneson took her to his home when he reached Port Townsend, paying her $16 a month and providing her with clothes. Several times he wished to send her home, but she always refused to go. Frank Yorke, who was Capt. Barneson'a partner in the atevedoring business, also denies tbe story about the alleged Princess being ill-treated. Mrs. Barneson, he says, is not the woman to ill-treat her servants or anybody else. The alleged Princess, he says, at times was almost wild and would maltreat the children. She finally ran away from Capt. Barneson's house.���Times. A la Mort.

John Mears, alias Ben Kennedy, alias Jack Meyers, was removed from the Provincial goal at Westminster, on Monday to the penitentiary to serve a life term for the murder of John O'Connor at Reed Island, last June. Mears is a native of Allumette Island, Pontiac country, Quebec, and 42 years of age. Mears came to the coast about 20 years ago, and has been engaged in various pursuits, principally logcring and mining. For several years he mined in the Omineoa country. The story of bis long run before the officers in pursuit of him was only partly told by him in court. When he started accross the mountains for Bute Inlet, the dog which occasioned the quarrel resulting in the murder of O'Connor was with him, and time and again gave tongue when it caught sight of a deer. Fearing the dog would reveal his whereabouts, Mears killed it���muoh against his will���on the second day out. The third day Mears shot a grouse with his revolver, cooked it, but having been then three days without food, and having no salt to season the bird, his stomaoh refused to hold the food. The next day he killed a deer, smoked some of the flesh, and tried that, but could eat very little. The following day, wheo completely out of ammunition and nearly famished, he decided to surrender and gave himself up to the officers. Getting Ready for Business. New York.
