Washington, D. U., Nov. 20. ���Seoretary Gresham today made public all the correspondence between the Secretary of State and James H. Blount, Commissioner and later Minister of Hawaiian Islands. Mr. Great-am, in giving this voluminous printed matter to the press, explained that it in- eluded everything connected with Mr. Blount's mission to Hawaii, with the exception of statistical tables relating to the islands. The matter consists of three parti, the first beginning with a copy of the instructions giveu to Mr. B ouut on March 11th, 1893, prior 10 his departure from Washington for Honolulu; ttie last part ending with a brief letter under the date of July 31, 1893, in whioh he takes his conge as follows: -The condition of all parties in the ialauds ia one of quiescence. The aotion of thu United States is awaited by all aa agmatler of necessity. This condition it can be assuisd, will remain until the proposition to annex is accepted or rejected. In the latter contingency no sudiion movement is likely to oecur. Ths present Government can only rest on the use of military force as it is possessed of must of the arms in the islands with a small white population to drsw from to strengthen it. Ultimately it will fall without fail. It May Preserve Its Existence for a Year Or two, but not longer." Then ho adds that he haa done his duty as well as he could, "considering that he was surrounded by persons interested in misleading," and that his private affairs necessitated his return home. Secretary Gresham's letter of instructions to Mr. Blount, dated March 11th, defines clearly how far in the opinion of th* President the use of armed force is permis- sable by the United Si ate* to pull down or set up governments. Mr. Greaham says: "In the judgment of the President your au- thoiity, as well as that of the commander of the naval forces in Hawaiian waters shall be and is limited to the ills of physical force to such measures as are necessary to proteot the persons and property of our citizens, and while abstaining from any manner of interference with the government of the islands, you should indicate your willingness to intervene with your friendly offices in the interest of peuceable settlement of the troubles within the limit of sound discretion Should it be necessary to land an armed force upon Hawaiian territory on an occa sion of popular disturbance, when the local authorities may be unable to give adequate protection to the life and property of citizens of the United Statea, the nssent of suob authority should first he obtained, if it can be done without injustice to the interests involved. Your power in this regard should not, however, be claimed to the exclusion of similar measures by the representatives of other powers for the lives and property of their citizens or their subjects residing in the islands. While The United States Claim No Bight to Interfere in the politic or domestic affairs or in the internaal conflicts of the Hawaiian Islands otherwise than herein stated, or for the purpose of maintaining any treaty or other rights which they possess, this Government will adhere to its consistent and established policy in relation to them and it will not acquiesce in domestic interference by other powers." In a letter dated April 6th, Mr. Blount, announces his arrival at Honolulu and tells of his refusal, against the strong urging Mr. Stevens, to accept a house and the use of servant-*, carriages, horses, etc., furnished hy the Provisional Government, paying "whatever I wanted forit. from nothing up " He also notes the refusal of tenders from the ex-Queen and others. Appended to a letter of April 8th, iu which Mr Blount deploreB the perverted influence of Minister Stevens and Consul General Severance, to which he ascribes the existence of the Provisional Government, is a stenographic report of au Interview Between Mr. Blouut and Admiral Skerrett. In whieh the following occurred: Admirrl Skerrett���I called at ths Navy Department on the 30th December to ask Mr. Traoey if he had any fiual instructions for me, as I was going to liars th* next day for San Francieoo to ��>auiu* oammand of the Paoific squadron. He replied:���"Commodore, I have no instructions to give you. You will go there and perform your duty, as I know you will, and all will be satisfactory." I remarked:���"Mr. Traoey, I want to ask you about these Hawaiian affairs. When I was out there two years ago, I had frequent conversations with the then United Stales Miniater, Mr. 1'ierce, on the subject of the islands. I was told then that the United States Government did not wish to annex the islands of Hawaii." He replied:��� "Commodore, the wishes of tbe Government have changed. They will be very glad to annex Hawaii." And said as a matter of course none but the ordinary legal means can be used to persuade these people to come into the United Stales. On April 21st, Mr. Blount says he was called on by Claus Sprockets. "But," said Mr. Blount, "how much or how little Mr. Spreokela knows about this matter I am THE ELITE PHOTO STUDIO Has removed from the old place to the new stand, near the Nanaimo Opera House. Best Photos in the City. Cloudy days preferred for sittings. 8-11 Sm ia generally regarded here as being a plausible, unscrupulous person," and suggests that if the administration should receive any proposition frrm Mr. Neumann in couneotion with contraots between the Queen and Provisional Government, in the matter of her abdication, it would be fur better to decline to entertain anything. Mr. Blount says he called on th* Ex Queen and informed her that no person was suthorized by President Cleve land nor himself to place the Government of the United States in the attitude of desiring any adjustment between herself and the Provisional Government, and the Queen replied that she did not intend to enter into any negotiations until the Washington Government had taken sctson on Mr. Blout's report. On May 4th., Mr. Blount wrote "At thia time the indications are unmistakable that a large majority of the people of the islands are utterly opposed to annexation. I do not look for any change from thia situation." In the third jjpart of tbe correspondence is printed a statement of Mr. Volney, V, Ashford, dated March 8th, 1893. In it he says he has put in writing certain inform ation iu regard to Hawaiian affairs, at Mr Blount's request. This statement to th* Queen as reigning sovereign who had at least twios striven to supplant her brother even at the expense, if necessary, of Walking Over His Strangled Corpse to the throne: "A woman notoriously loaded with the grossest social vices such as had contributed so largely to the late King's downfall in 1887, but still strongly upheld by th* majority of the native people who believed her professions and promises to restore them to an equal franohise." In another part of his communication, Mr. Ashford says: "Wilson's pull on the Qm-o consisted in the fao that for many years he has been her favorite paramour (she has several). The Queen had a private gateway cut through the palace wall immediately contiguous to her apartments in the bungalo that he might alone enter by a near and more convenient way. The pair openly lived together in the Queen's cottage at Waikiki, a suburb of Honolulu, during and auooeeding the sandbag episode at the palace, just preceding the descent upon tbe league. This place was formerly an assignation house, built by the Queen, and openly used fin* -that purpose, under the personal charge of her buain^ss manager, formerly her native coachmau. All these and many other equally soandalous acts are matters of publio notoriety at the capital and have been aired snd commented upon by the native press of Honolulu, but the English press were either gagged by the palace party or kept silent to avoid the effects of the scandal abroad." These statements Against the Deposed Queen are Discredited by Mr. Blount. Mr. Blount's conclusion of the facts are embodied in hia report to Secretary Gresham dated July 17th. It is a very long document, tilling thitty-seven large priuted pages, and indicates very clearly that he understood that he was tu confine himself to a plain statement of fuels for no- where does he make the slightest suggestions, or recommendation lefusing all proffers of hoapiialily. On his arrival on the islands, he says, he took up his quarters at the Hawaii tn hot :1, where he passed several days in calls and soon beoame aware that all minds were quietly and anxiously looking to the action of the United States Government. The troops of the Boston performed military duty for the Provisional Government, with the American flag floating over the Government building, and, says the Minister, within it, the Provisional Government eonduoted its business under an American protectorate according to the avowed purpose of the American Minister during tho negotiations with the United Statea for annexation." This brings the story down to the incident of hauling down the American flag which created such a stir and which Mr. Blount describes as follows: "My instructions directed me lo make inquiries which In the Intorest of Candor and Truth Could uot be done when the minds of thou. Bauds of Hawaiian citizeua were full of uncertainty as to what the presence of the American troops, the American flag and the American protectorate implied. It seemed neoessary that all thesa influences must be withdrawn before these inquiries could be prosecuted in a manner befii ting the dignity and power of the United Stat -.��. Inspired with such feelings and confident no disorder would ensue, I direoted the remo al of the United States flag from the Government building and the return of the Americeu troops to their vessels. This was accomplished without auy demonstration of joy or grief on the part of the populace. Tbe afternoon before, in an interview with President Dole, in response to my inquiry, be said that the Provisional Government was now able to preserve order, although it could not hare done so for several weeks after the proclamation establishing it." A Japanese incident which is both new and interesting, is then related. Mr. Blouut says:���"On the evening of the day when the flag was hauled down th* American minister called with Mr. Walter G. Smith, who said he desired lo make an important communication to me and whom he knew to be very intelligent and reliable. Thereupon Mr. Smith, with intense gravity, informed be that he knew beyond doubt that it had b**n arranged between the Queen and the Japanese Commission that It the American flag and the troops were removed, the troops from the Japanese man-of-war Na- niwa Wonld Land and Re-Instate the Queen. Mr. Smith was the editor of the Hawaiian Star established by the annexation club for ths purpose of advocating annexation. The ordered away, Continuing his narrative Mr. Blount says, the Provisional Government beinij left to its own preservation, the people freed from any fear of offering to converse with him so far as his action could accomplish it, and peace prevailing, the way was deafen1 for his investigation. He tells The Story of the Revolution In this manner. "On Saturday evening, the 14th of January, a large body of men, Germans, natives and Americans, t->ok upon themselves the task of dethroning the Queen and proclaiming a new Government, with a view to annexing the islands to the United States. The momentous question with them was how to devise some plan to have the United States troops landed. Mr. Thurston who appears to have been the leading spirit on Sunday sought two members of the Queen's Cabinet and urged them to head a movement against the Queen and to ask Minister Stevens to land the troops, assuring them that in euch an event Mr. Stevens would do so. Failing to enlist any of the Queen's Cabinet in the canse, it was necessary to devise some other mode to accomplish this purpose a committee of safety consisting of thirteen members had been formed from this little body of men assembled in W. 0. Smith's office. A deputation of these informing Mr. Steven's of their plans arranged with him to land the troops if they would ask it, "for the purpose of protecting life and property." It was further agreed between him and them that in the event of their occupying the Government building. And Proclaiming a New Gov - he would recognize it. The two immug members of the committee, Messrs. Thurston and Smith, growing uneasy as to the safely of their persons, want to him to know if he would protect them in the event of their arrest by the authorities, to which he gave hia assent. Mr. Blount comments upon the failure of the revolutionists to inform the mass meeting on the 16th of their purpose, which he attributes to fear of the Queen. H�� quote* the application of Jan. Kith to Minister Stevens for protection, and says: - "The response to that oall does not appear in th* files and tha records of the American Legation, and I think, therefore, oeunot speak for itself. The request of the committee of safely was, however, consented to and the troops were landed. A meeting of the committee held that night at the house of Henry Watterhouse, next door to Miniater Steven's house, determined on the dethronement of the Queen and selected officers. At this* meeting ii waa assented to by all that Mr. Stevens had agreed with the committee of safety that in the event it occupied the government building and proclaimed a provieional government he would reoogniza it as a de facto government. A Great surprise burst upon the town. when the troops lauded Jan. Kith. Stevens informed Parker and Watterhouae that in the event of the Queen's forces assailing the insurrectionary forces he would intervene. Mr. Blount says that on their way to the government building to proclaim the provisional government the mob separated for fear of observation and arrest. There was no sign of an insurrectionary on soldier the street. The committee of safety sout to tho government buildings, a Mr. S. Wilcox to see who was there and on being informed that there were DO government forceson the ground proceeded in the manner I have related and read theproclama'ion. Jus< beforeconcluding the reading of this instrument a troop of fifteen volunteers appeared. Within half hour afterwards some thirty or forty more made their appearauoe. The report d��i .ils the circumstances attending the abdication of the Queen and states that she yielded because it v. as pressed upon her by the ministers and other persons that it was useless to contest with the United States, that she could file her protest and be entitled to a hearing in Washington. Says Mr. Blount, "all this was accomplished without the firing of a gun, without a demand for surrender on t he part of the in aurrectiouary foroes, until they had b'en converted into a dej'ae/o Government by the recognition of the American miniater with American troops, then ready to interfere in the event of an attack." Attempt to Blow up Nelson's Monument. Montrkai., Nov. 20.���Three young men, Honor* Mercier, a son of ex-premier Mercier and Alfred Loland and Paul Demaut- igny, students, were arrested this morning charged with a conspiracy to blow up the Nelson monument ou Jacques Cartier Square. It leaked out recently that a plot had been arranged to destroy tbe monument and the polioe receiving notification, captured the three at an early hour this morning on Jacques Cartier Square. A large pieoe of dynamite was found in the young, men's possession. Tbey were liberated on bail and will have an examination to-morrow. For some time past a portion of the French press has been advocating the removal of the statue from the French to the English part of the city. Some of the papers referred to Lord Nelson in anything but complimentary terms. Sale of Thoroughbred Horees. San Francisco, Nov. 20.���The sale of thoroughbreds oollected by the late Senator George Hearst commenced this afieruoon. Prominent horsemen from all parts of the country were present. Surinan went for $3,600: imp. Palomaby by the Drummer, brought ""$7,500; Sistoletta, $1,300; Viola, by Hungari, $1,400, Proximate, by Norfolk, $1,000; Deception, by Ten Broeok, $1,400; Nellie Collier, by Joe Hooker, $1,057; Elsie Ban, by King Ban, $600. The prices obtained indicate that the sale will net over $70,000 for the Hearst estate. NANAIMO, B. C., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1893. Resigned Because of the Landing of American Troops. New Yobk., Nov. 20.��� The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs as follows: Commissioner Blount's report on the Hawaiian question will Bhow that Minister Stevens landed the troops from the Boston long before there was any valid excuse for their presence on Hawaiian soil; that he declined to remove them when requested to do so by the government, who informed him that the authorities were willing and fully able to preserve order and protect American interests; that these troops were stationed across the street from the government buildings in which Minister Stevens knew the revolutianists were about to read their proclamation and that the revolutionist committee relied upon the American troops to protect them in this act of rebellion; that Minister Stevens recognized the Provisional Government had obtained possession of the departments and military power at Honolulu, and that the military power was surrendered, as the Queen surrendered, only through awe of the superior power of the Uuited States. Many depositions by a number of well known gentlemen in Honolulu were taken before Commissioner Blount, indicating that Queen Liluiokalaui surrendered her throne and her ministers resigned because of the landing of the American troops at Honolulu. In the disposition of Mr. S. A. Damon, president of Advisory Council of Provisional Govern* ment, he was asked if the Queen was advised by her ministers to surrender because the sympathy of the United States was with the revolutionists. I know that it was the Queen's idea that Stevens was in sympathy with this movement. The Queen was reluctant to sign the abdication, but did so on the ground that it would all come up for review at Washington. I told her so myself It was the beat terms of settlement we could get. I took it to President Dole and he received and endorsed it. "Was any message sent to the Queen after that or anything rejecting the proposition tor a settlement of the dispute at Washington?" "No.*7 "The surrender was then made on that proposition?" "Yes. Then the Queen sent down word to the station house that they should surrender. That wound up the whole affair. We took possession. It was not delivered up after this conference." Scores One for the Ladles. Now York, Nov. 20.���The Independent has the following special cable: Constantinople.���Judge^Terrell, the United States Miuiater, has just gained a notable diplomatic victory. For several years the number of female physicians in Turkey has been increasing, notwithstanding the fact that the Turkish law refused to recognize them as legitimate practitioners. Foremost among them have been the American missionaries who have repeatedly won the highest praise for their self denying work. They have, however, been greatly hampered by the faot that they could not secure regular Turkish diplomas, and the various foreign embassies have been very earnest in their efforts to gain for them official recognition. Hitherto they have failed entirely, but at last Turkish conservatism has yielded, and to the American embassy belongs the honors of securing what neither Russian, Frenoh, British nor German ambassadors could gain. THE FINANCIAL WORLD. Nkw York, Nov. 20���The week opened with a quiet oondition of affairs at the stock exchange by the bond department. It can be said that the great plethora of funds is leading to a re-awakening of the interest on the part of financial institutions and individual capitalists, who are dissatisfied with the small returns afforded by the loan market. Not only are the leading issues dealt in at the stock exchange improving in price, but bonds whioh are dealt in outside of the exchange proper are also in better request. The fact that private bankers are bringing out new loans attest the better tone for investments. The dealings in stocks, however, are confined almost entirely to the professionals. The rally which set in after the publication of the bank returns on Saturday, made further progress this morning and was assisted by moderate purchases for London account. The "bulls" made efforts to force a covering movement and were partially successful; they advanced J to 1J per cent., General Electric, sugar, the Grangers, Atchison, Lackawanna, I), k H. and Western Union leading. Subsequently distillers broke suddenly from 30} to 28, but the several last was not affected to any important extent. When cordage broke 3J to 304 end General Electric 2*1 to 'Mi, the early buyers became timid and finally started in to un load. The result was a drop of 2} in sugar; Ifj in Burlington and Quincy, 14 in Lake Shore and $ to 1 in other shares.

Indications of Storm. When a storm is advancing the wind blows to meet it. Thus a wind blowing from the east nr sftuthwest Ind cutei the approacli of a storm from the west. When the storm centre has passed, however, the wind changes and folluws the storm.

I'ake lieoaol Your Piano. f laiofortos must be kept dry and free from tbe least particle of damp, as diinipnoss rusty the strings and pins, iuflntos tho felt and leather, utterly ruining the notion work. For this reason on wet and foggy days tin window of the room in which tho plant stands must not lie left open with ut th. Instrument being covered up. It is not wise to place an upright plane with its back against a wall that is exposed to tho influence of the weather or one having a chimney flue running through it; neither should it be placed too near the fireside, where It would be apt to encounter direct and undue heat. To prevent tbe keys ol tbe Instrument from becoming yellow it i requisite to wipe them with a soft wash- leather each time after use and to keep them covered with a piece of wbite flannel reaching from one end of the keyboard to the ether. Extreme degrees of beat and ���old ore fatal to the cabinet work and polish of a pianoforte. When not in service it is prudent to keep the piano closed, especially during the summer months, as ths moths, baring once found access to the inner parts of the instrument, do vast damage; besides ordinary dust clogs and is destructive to ths mechanism. In coses where cloth lining is tacked at the back of upright pianos it is advielble to replace it by wire gauze and auy opening at tbe bottom of the instrument must likewise be covered up in order to prevent mice from finding a comfortable retreat in one of the secluded corners���under tbs keyboard is their favorite spot in the piano. In country and farm bouses���mice being more frequently found in such resorts���this la particularly requisite, as these pernicious little creatures build their nests with the felt and cloth torn from the aotion. ���Chambers' ;��� t- COAL -t- t Tie New Taneouver Coal Mining aad Land Company (FORMERLY THE VANCOUVER COAL COMPANY) : : ARE THE LARGEST COAL PRODUCEBS ON THE PACIFIC COAST : : Nanaimo Coal (Used Principally for Gas and Domestic Purposes) Southfleld Coal (Steam Fuel) New : Wellington : Coal (House and Steam Fuel) p" These Coals are Mined by this Companygonly and by'Union Labor ^ THE NANAIMO COAL gives a large percentage of gas, a high illuminating (power, uneqnalled��iby any other Bituminous [Gu Coals in the world, and a superior quality of Coke THR* 80UTHFIELD COAL is now used by all the leading steamship lines on the Pacific.

ROBINS, Superintendent n COMPOSITE HOJ3e. i Seeing Which Bxclalm ��� of Me Just Me?" i-Iia t Meae The New York Sun's Womau About Town ajritest Somewhere uptown there is a very tne house Its owner has fitted up in a very One and expensive way. The drawing room Is Louis Seize in every detail, from the polished floor to the least curve ot the fretted ceiling. The ball room is purely Grecian, the family room is Holland to tbe last bit of delft ware and the smallest painting on the walls. Then there is a Japanese room so truly Japanese that in crossiag the threshold you feel yourself at once to have got into a "world before perspective���Lamb," as Dr. Pangloss would say it. And you catch yourself looking about for the mountain! that o'ertop the moon and the lady who is Just stepping into tbe tiny boat that floats up the mountain side on tbe bosom of the small brook, and all the other delightful Ir. responsibilities of this world before the chaos had all got out of it. And then there are other rooms. One is Elizabethan and one Italian, aud every one is Something���or ���Other and belongs to some very definite age. And as you look about you want to ask, "But what of all this is just American and nineteenth century I"���like the bewildered little girl whose relatives fell to classifying ber as "Smith" iu so aud so, and "Jones" in so and so, until she could stand it no longer and burst out in a perplexed howl, "Isn't none ot me just Met" Why isn't "none of it Just Usf" Why'oan't we be something more than mere collectors and imitators of the past) Are we never to he done bringing the centuries agoue, bock to dwell under our ridiculous imitation- imitation��� anoleut roofs? There's a delightful humor about it ull, to be sure, when one gets done feeling concerned over its vulgarity. There are the smart, new Colonial mansions set along our avenues, with beautiful stained glass windows, shaded from within by the costliest of laces and with the evidences of tbe latest sanitary plumbing coming up out of the roofs. And then there are those other houses with "Queen Anne fronts and Mary Ann backs," and the Renaissance uhd the Qotbic, and heaven knows what other specimens ot architecture, sltotildiiriug each other on the well-paved and electric-lighted avenues of ot this smart new America of ours And to say nothing mure of the incongruity of all this, think for a moment of the anachronism of such an inside as tbe one we have just spoken of, where a dozen different centuries sre collected under one roof. Imagine the strain on the mind of a sensitive person who flnds himself trying to "compose" with each new surrounding. Taney having to jump when you had just got yourself to the point of believing that you were looking out of almond eyes and tottering about in the folds of your celestial gown, by simply crossing a threshold, plump into the court of Elizabeth t And pity the discomfiture of the sensitive person who finds himself standing with umbrella and mackintosh at the door of a Louis Qninse reception room. Besides all this, what are we going to leave to stand for ourselves and for tbe nineteenth century! Surely there should be something dignified enough and worthy enough in our time to be prepetuated. Is is objected that there really is nothing original to hope for���that there is no opportunity for creative thoughtl Well, there may still be the new expression of an old thought���that ia creative. But we ore only trying to syllable the old thought, not to assimilate it ami then give it out stamped with our own individuality. Why isn't imitation her- as vulgar as it Is anvwueiv else! Ilonry George is a thickset, bald-headed. Independent mannered man with a full beard ���nd an extensive, but peculiar knowledge of the law as by statute established. He is a first-rate orator of the open-air kind, with no false modesty, and keeps his right hand securely buttoned up in the breast et his Prince Albert. IN "A. MINhri" KtY. A sailor should always take a cat-boat in a ���quail. Is it proper to speak of two physicians as a paradox? There is a great deal of back talk in the phonograph. Suspenders ought to sail readily in bracing weather. It doesn't hurt a missionary to be shot in his tracts. Wont of principle Is the principal want of many men. "You've got the stuff in you," as the rope said to the effigy. Cheating the barber���cutting off your heir with a shilling. What becomes of the pieces when your sleep is broken? Getting mellow is not a proper way to reach a ripe old age. The spendthrift who spreads himself is apt tc contract debts. A decoy duck cannot be frightened away with a wooden "shoo." It is when in the scales of justice that the weigh of the transgressor is hard. The highwayman ought to be a good boxer, for it's give and take with him. Throe of a kind would have taken the ark during the flood, for it only held pairs. "This is no laughing matter," said the author, when tbe editor handed him back his jokes. The death of a bookkeeper should occasion no surprise, as it is natural for him to go to his accounts. Thousands of men who were bard drinkers nave quit for good.

How many farmers' wives love flowers and yearn for them, yet go without them year after year, having or believing they have no place in which to keep them and no time for their eti tivution. I am reminded that flowers are possible for most hard-worked wo> nmu, by a remark my wife mode recently: " Plants do better in a kitchen or in a bay window connected with a kitchen than anywhere else. More roses and other plants needing high temperature will thrive and bloom with lees care, and the steam from cooking nnd washing only seem ft> benefit them." The time plants take is largely imaginary, and could not lie counted if the favorites were in or next to the kitchen where the tired wife could turn to them and rest while watering or admiring them. Many have shelves or boxos at the kitchen south windows with excellent results, Where lock of room forbids this, au alcove or bay window may be built onto the south side at small expense, removing the house wall so the addition forms part of the room. This will improve the sanitary condition of the kitchen nlsr. by making it more sunny. If the work can be done now, home genius may be employed aud the carpenter's pay saved.���Farm and Home. J. H.

There is reason to believe that the Unionist party in the Imperial Parliament will introduce a Home Rule Bill before long to take the place of the crude and ill consistent measure which lately received ita quietus in the House of Lords. That it is necessary to relegate some of the petty matters which so largely occupy the time of the Imperial Parliament to local bodies, is a faot recognised long Bines by the Couser- ative and Unionist sections in the House. The larger interests of the���Empire are too often sacrificed to discuss matters which oould be better dealt with by a council, or call it parliament, acquainted with all the details and more in touch with the people, thuu the Imperial Parliament can possibly be. A Parliament each for England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, with their po wers well defined and limited to local aff.irs exclusively, with all the safeguards thrown arouud them which may be deemed nesessary for the absolute safety of the Empire would relieve the Imperial Parliament of much that now makes it not only distasteful but wearisome to the members. Matters of a purely local character could be much better attended to by a local parliament, and the time gained devoted to subjects of a wider range. To the great majority of the members a Scottish matter is of very little importance. The Irish, Welsh and English members will vo'.e on strictly party lines, irrespective of the merita of the case from a local point of view, or how it nuy be regarded by those directly concerned. The miserable bantling whioh has been shelved in no way met the case and seemed only designed^to dismember the Empire. But it by no means follows that a better one cannot be framed, which would be more in unison with the interests of the whole country. Export Duty on Logs. Ottawa, Nov. 20.��� The question of the re-imposition of the export duty on logs is again attracting attention. In an interview in this connection to-day Finance Minister Foster said:���"The hardship complained of by the Canadian people is that while United States lumbermen come to Canada, buy up our timber reserves, and export free of duty, the material for the manufacture of lumber and pulp, the Canadian produce of lumber and pulp is met in the United States with a very high duty, and at the same time this country loses the benefit of the manufacture within its boundary of the commodities. There is also a widespread feeling that our timber is being rapidly lepleted and that our future supply is being jeopardized without any corresponding advantage to the United States. The Dominion Government iB making a full investigation in regard to the whole matter and if it reveals the necessity, therefore, and for a change being made in the United S ate-s timber duties the Government must take the matter up and deal with it in the light of existing facts and conditions. GALLAGHER ALL RIGHT. He WIU Not Be Releaaed-England WIU Have Ten New Battle Ships Afloat In 1894. London, Nov. 20.���In the House of Commons to-day Mr. Herbert Asquith, the home secretary was asked a question by Mr. John Nolan (Parnellite) member for North Gal- way regarding the constitution of Or. Thomas Gallagher, the alleged dynamiter, who ia 1883 was sentenced to penal servitude for life. Mr. Aequith aaid that Gallagher had been in nowise injured by a recent operation that he had undergone for his eye sight and that he waa in no danger of becoming blind. The home secretary added that the Government had no intention of releasing the prisoner. In the House of Commons to-day, the Right Hon. Sir U. KayShuttleworlh, secretary to the Admiralty announced that ten battleships had beeu provided for under the Naval Defenoe whioh would be completed early in 1894. Mr. John 0. Mscdon, Conservative member for Rotherhithe, asked for information as to the truth of the statement that there were four hundred derelicts afloat in the Gulf stream. He also wanted to know if the Government would join the United .States Government in blowing up dereleots and (clearing the ocean ot these dangers to navigation. The Right Hon. John Mundell, President of the Board of Trade, said he would not vouch for the accuracy of the statements and had no information on the subject from Washington. The Maritime Couluience recently held, had dealt with the subject of derelicts The subject involved complex questions that are now under consideration. Telegraph Operators on Strike. R<imk, Nov. 20.���All the telegraph operators iu the civil service declared a strike today because several persons had been dismissed without sufheient cause by the directors. Thia evening telegraphio communication is partly suspended throughout the country. The Government has summoned the military operators to all the places of the strikers. The Druid's In Session. Prosperity Grove No. 1, United Ancient Order cf Druids had a gala day yesterday, beintr the occasion of the annual visit of the Noble Graud Arch of the Grand Grove of California F. Carraguaro accompanied by J. H. Knarstou, Grand Secretary. The grand officers upon arrival were taken in charge by officers and members of the local order and driven around the city. In the evening a meeting of the order was held which was followed by a grand banquet at the Royal Hotel. The chair was taken about 10 o'clock when about forty members gathered round the festive board. The entertainment part of the programme waa introduced by a short address of welcome by the chairman, ex- Mayor Hilbert, to the visiting officers, who, he said, were on their annual official visit to the Sound and British Columbia cities. From here they would proceed to Comox to r open a new lodge there. The toast list v>aa then taken up, that of "Ihe Queen" being first which was received by those present singing the National Anthem. "The President of the United States" coupled with names of the visiting officers was then proposed and briefly responded to by the Noble Grand Arch and Grand Secretary. The former requested that he might be permitted to make his speech later in the evening when he would ask permission to address his Italian friends, as there were many of them present, in their own language The Grand Secierary following gave an interesting occount of the progress of the order from its inception, which was highly appreciated. He traced it back to the original order of Druids and the progress made as now constituted. The society as it is now known first made its appearance in England in 1781, and in America in 1830. There were now seventy-three groves nn the Pacific coast with assets of over $132,. 000 and a total membership of 4,000. During the past year the large sum of $24,- ��00 had been spent in relief. The next toast "The Noble Grand Arch of California" was responded to in happy terms by that officer first in English and then in his own language, Italian. He complimented the local order nn their progress. It was his first visit to British Columbia and he was charmed with the scenery here. Nanaimo, he said, was a beautiful city and he hoped to be able to spend hia summer vacation here next year. Tbe part of his address delivered in Italian was highly appreciated by those who understood the language. He is a fluent speaker and a jolly good-fellow. The Toast "Prosperity Grove No. 7" was responded to by Bro, James, Distriot Grand Arch, and Bro. Rivers who thanked the Grand Officers for their visit and briefly referred to the progress of the Order in the city. "The Press" was duly honored and responded to by representatives of the .local papers. "Sister societies" were ably represented by Bros. Robert Rivers and John Ducoa. "Tbe ladies" were not forgotten and found an able champion in Bro. S. Andrews. Thus ended a most pleasant evening of festivity and song.

The people here are wondering why it is that the laat week's issue of the local weekly, the workingman's friend, that advocate for Wellington to the exclusion of all others, has not yet been delivered to subscribers here, while it was sold in Nanaimo on Saturday last. The funeral of Ben Lombard took place at three p.m. yesterday to the Wellington cemetery, and was largely attended, despite the inclement weather. R. Kilpatrick, who has lately added undertaking to his business, had charge of the funeral arrangements. W. J. Cuaaok paid us a visit to-day. Walter Jones ia in Vanoouver on business. MisB Kilpatrick has come homo for her holidays. E. Mernan was a passenger to Victoria yesterday. M. Hamburger, of E. Cook k Co., has gone to the Capital. THE CITY COUNCIL. The regular meeting of the City Council was held last evening in the council chambers. Present��� His Worship Mayor Haslam and Aldermen McKinnell, Dobeson, Craig, Hilbert, Quennell, Cocking, Ganner and Nightingale. Communications. From Chief Thomas O'Connell, which on motion was adopted. From J. J, Wilson, asking for a crossing. Accounts were sent in from Craig, Hey- land, lUwson and VV. H. Ganner, whict were referred to the Finance Committee. Aid. Cockiug presented a report from the Sanitary Committee, in which they recommended tha the appointment of scavenger be deferred for the present. The usual report from R. Prowse as to the number of men employed in the streets and tbe work done was submitted for the consideration of the Council. Mayor Haalam informed the Counoil that the City had been served with a writ on the part of Mr. Vipond claiming the Bum of $51*10 for extra work and damages suitaincd in his contract on the .Newcastle townsite and suggested that a motion should be passed that the City Clerk be instructed to retain Counsel in the interests of the City. On motion Messrs Yarwood and Young were retained. The profile of Viotoria Road was submitted for the examination of the Council and on motion was referred to the Street Committee. Aid. Hilbert called attention to the bad state of the South end of Kennedy street. Those engaged in building operation there lately could not get to their homes without stumbling over a lot of rubbish which waa inconvenient to say the least of it. He thought the Street Commute should see that they had better facilities of approace given them. It was ordered that the corporation workmen be immediately orderel to make the premises approaohable. It was reported that a large body of water ran down Prid- eaux street which would require a culvert at ths crossing of Wentworth street to carry it off. This was ordered to be constructed. Aid. Cocking said a pond of water was lying on Nichol street putting the street in a very bad condition and it could be easily remedied by taking dirt from the other side of the atreet and filling it in. This suggi ���- tion led to a long disoussion on the best kind of gravel suitable for suoh pui poses. It waa finally decided to take beach gravel as a trial which oould be reported upon after the repairs were made. The grading of the Fire Hall was stopped for want of gravel and it was suggested that suitable materiel oould be obtained from Mr. Robins' lot for the asking and its removal would do no damage to the lot. The City' Clerk was instructed to take ths necessary steps to obtain permission from Mr. Robins. Ala. Cocking enquired whether t;.e horse now in corporation stable had been purchased. Aid. Nightingale said the pries asked for the animal was excessive but it had since been offered for 1150. The horse they are using now is a first class one for the purpose and is owned by Mr. Copeland. He wanM a good prioe for it but on the other hand it is an excellent animal. No action was taken. A letter waa read from Mr. Taggert asking for a contribution from the Counoil to assist the Poultry Show to be held in Nanaimo next month. , On motion of Aid. Quennell, seconded by Aid. Nightingale, thesum of $50 wa�� granted. Chief O'Connel's Successor. The question of the appointment of a Chief of Police to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Thomas O'Connell was then taken up. Mayor Haslum pointed out that this question must for the present lis in abeyance as the third commissioner had not as yet beeu appointed. The Counoil might recommend some person for ths position but no more. He had no doubt but that the recommendations of the Counoil would have its necessary weight with the commissioners. His Honor Judge Harrisen had declined to ait on the Licensing Board yet he might conseut to sit as commissioner on this case. Aid. Hilbert moved that applications for the position be called for but subsequently withdrew the motion on the understanding that the question be dropped for another week. The Fire Hall. The Frost contraot, the subjeot matter of which was pretty well threshed ont at last . meeting of the Council, came up once more for disoussion. Aid. Nightingale reitera ted his argument that as Mr. Honeyman had -been appointed by the Counoil to inspect and pass the work his certificates must by respsoted. It was too late to remedy the error, if error it was. Aid. Hilbert said that the contraot was as good as the general run of work in the oity. Aid. Cooking said that that might be perfectly true, yet there were many deficiencies in the work and that the agreement had not been adhered to. It was then on motion deoided that ths fire hall be handed over to the firemen, which was a virtual acceptance of the contract. The Counoil then adjourned. On the Beach.

THE PROVINCIAL CAPITAL Tenants Must Vacate the Belmont Farm Sealers Have a Lock-out and Strike Combined���Flnlayson Still Absent. Victoria, Nov. 20.���Considerable interest oentres in the announcement first, made that the tenants of the Belmont farm have received their notice to vacate, the estate having passed into the hands of the Government of Great Britain. The Belmont farm, comprising some two hundred and thirty acres, extends along the further shore of Eequimalt harbor, opposite the entrance and almost in a line wi h the dry dock. It is here that the largest guns of the new forts will be mounted, so as to sweep the Straits and command the sitnation. The price paid for the farm is said to have been $26,500, a very moderate sum. The seal hunters of British Columbia,who have hoped to have everything their own way next season, are it is apparent fated to disappointment. Though they have organized and set their scale of wages first as they want it the vessel owners know a trick equally good and are prepared to play it. The result will be a combination of strike and lockout. The old brigade of hunters, holding out for high wages will not ship on the schooners which begin to leave about Christmas and their plaoes will be taken by less experienced men, expert shots, however, imported from the Atlantic provinces. Mr. William Munsie has been one of the first to move in this matter. He is now in Nova Scotia, where he has signed crews for all his fleet of schooners, six or seven in number. It is not known to be a fact, but it is generally supposed that he is also commissioned to sign crews for other owners in Victoria, who hope thus to foil the scheme of the men. The latter are too greedy. They have been paid small fortunes in the past, and had none of the risks or losses to bear. They still are unsatisfied, however; $000 to $2000 they consider not enough for six months' work, "everything found." The sensational story of robbery told recently by Ernest Recarati, who keeps a little restaurant almost opposite the city hall, now proves to be a fake of the worst description. Highwiymen had been making their appearance in all parts of the oity, and working upon their known presence in the town, Recarati wove a charming fabric of fiction concerning the robbery of his establishment, two men having, he said, threatened him with a revolver and carried away his valuables���and this with half a score of police not a block away. Recarati has since skipped the town, greatly to the disgust of his partner Escalati, who now freely asserts that the absent one pooketed the cash and imagined the robbery to make a good case. He is considerable of a loser by Recarati's departure and will try to bring him back. Yeaterday was the time appointed for the return of young Mr. Finlayson to his bride, whom he left under circumstances already related, on Tuesday last. He did not come however, and his failure to materialize increases the interest in the Stearge case in which he is so prominent a figure. The mysterious bride still maintains her icy reserve and will talk to no one. She says Mr. Finlayson will be home sure on Tuesday, The owners of the coast'ng steamer Mystery, which went ashore in Stump Bay, West Coast, have received word from Capt. Anderson that she is badly strained, though not showing serious injury. It is expeoted Sunday's gale will not have helped her condition, though it was thought that the high tide would releaie her on Sunday and that she could come home for repairs under her own st:am. If ahe does not make her appearance this morning relief will be sent, as the owners ais becoming anxious. The private detective who recently secured a police court conviction against dentist Parker for practicing without registration, has been employed by the Medical Association to work up cases apainst looal druggists wbo pressribe simple remedies to patrons instead of referring them to the doctors.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1893. LOCALS. The Laat Rites. One more haa been laid in bis last earthly testing place and will ao remain until the great architect shall call tbem from refreshment to labor. Archibald Cowie waa born in the ehire of Lanark, Scotland, 54 yean ago. While comparatively a young man hearing of the belter condition of labor in tbe western hemisphere he left the land of his birth and came to California, where he worked some time in the mines at Mount Diablo, not mauy miles from San Francisco. It will be ri membered by those who attended the enquiry held on the disaster in the No. 1 ehaft in this city in 1887, that the deceased gave very valuable evidence as to an explosion of coal dust which occurred while he was working there, and at a time when eoal dust was little known as a prominent factor in coal mine explosions. After working there for some time he left and came to Wellington and entered the employ of Messrs. Dunsmuir, Doggie k Co. This was in the early seventiei. Circumstances arose which led to his having Wellington and settling down in Nanaimo, where he bout*lit a lot and erected a comfortable residence. Here he served the Vancouver Coal Company as a miner until two years ago, when he was prostrated wiih a serious lesion of Ihe heart. His physician strictly forbidding hia further continuance at underground employment, he obtained a responsible position upon the company's wharf, which he faithfully attended to until a little over a week ago. On returning on this the last day of his appearance on tbe wharf, he complained to his wife of feeling unwell, and laid himself down on the sofa in the hope of soon getting over the spell. The next day, becoming worse, his regular medical attendant, Dr. Walkem, and Dr. Sloggett, as consultant, were called in who pronounced him suffering from acute Etieumonitis, or inflammation of the lungs, verything that could suggest itself in a medical way was done to aupportthe system and guide the attack to a successful issue. His wife minded him both day and night with womanly devotion,but the constitution could not stand the strain, and at mid-day on Saturday last the drawn out thread of nature'! force was broken and Archibald Cowie was no more. The news of his death was received with general regret and by those who were intimately acquainted with him with genuine sorrow. He had many true and staunch friends in the community and was generally well liked. It is enough perhaps to sum up his merits by saying he wai a "good Mason." Yesterday his remaius were interred in the ceme- try, the funeral being held under the auspices of his beloved mother, Ashlar Lodge of A. F. and A. M., Rev. D. McRac performing funeral service also of the Presbyterian Churoh. A number of beautiful floral tribute! were deposited upon the coffin of the deceased from lorrow stricken friends.

The refined class living in the small cities, that can not really enjoy this sensational class of plays and playen are compelled to go to the large citiei to lee the best noting or stay at home and wait for the really good artists, which sometimes visit the one-night stands.

The Wild Cossacks of Russia and Their Marvelous Feata After Centuries of Marauding: They Have Become Disciplined Soldiers and Have Few Superiors aa Riflemen. 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, lias gradually been brought under rigid military rule, so that at the present day the descendants of this restless, warfaring raee 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 g*ood 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 tit the young cadets, the "Djighites," for the hardest and most perilous service rendered by this branch of the Kussian army. When the cadet has gone through the intricacies of the 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 and 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 flanks. 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 in 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 the 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 tjie horses, and because men and animals differ materially iu ��� 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 eznr. Accidents, which arc 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 Gen. 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." Nanaimo . . .

HERE ure few people who are interviewed as frequently as actresses. As a rule they are willing to submit to sews- paper inquisition, but there are exceptions. When an actress baa reached the highest pinnacle in public favor she is very apt to decline to see the newspaper representative. Mrs Langtry used to be gracious to the interviewer. She would allow him to writ* S:i interview and read It to h��-i*, and then she would give her assent toil.- publication. But of late years the Lily has avoided the reportera. She is atill gracious and pleat- ant, however, wham she does receive them. Miss Kosiua Voltes is a charming subject, Bhe never says no to a request for an interview, and she makes the time pass so pleasantly that the reporter's "few moments," have lengthened out Into as many half- hours. Rose Coghlan avoids tbe person who seeks her armed with interrogation points, although if by chance she can not avoid an interview she submits with the best grace possible. Fanny Davenport is also a variable subject. Sometimes she will submit to questioning and sometimes she won't. She shows that she is anxious to have the interview finished quickly, yet she is courteous, although a little stiff if you are a stranger. As Patti is the greatest songstress in the world it necessarily follows that ou a tour she is very inaccessible. You may send up your card, but unless you are personally known to her, or unless her personal agent has arranged the affair in advance, you will never see her. But it is worth perseverance, end after you have reached the presence of "la diva" you are rewarded. Patti is exceedingly gracious and affable. She welcomes you with a bright smile aud chats so pleasantly that tbe interviewer is soon at his ease. No one can be more winning in her ways. Vivacious in manner, chatty, and pleasant, she manages to say many bright things which read well in print. Christine Nilsson Is less vivacious than Fatti. She will laugh and jest, but she can not lead the conversation. She waits to be questioned. Wheu Gerster first came to this country she was very cordial to tbe newspaper people, but in the in'erviewiug itage she was shy snd reserved. Like Nils- son ahe rarely suggested a topic, but waited until tbe question was put to ber. Then her replies were brief. Bernhardt ia a good subject She likea ths interviewer, and sue is always ready to give him something to wiite about. In Jher remarks she is witty and incisive. She will receive clad in a house dress, with her hair disheveled. She is thoroughly bohemian. Georgia Cayvan, who spends her leisure in practicing gymnastics, will tell you that "the reporter is a bore," but she will make this remark with an air which says quite plainly that she only half believes what ihe says. As to Mine. Cottrelly, that busiest of all busy women in the theatrical profession, let the reporter catch her if he can���possibly he may get a few moments' conversation between tbe acts, but he must not expect more. To her duties as soubrette, stags eosturaer, and director she adds a not hor��� that of reading the librettos submitted to tbe McCaull company. Naturally the time she can devote to her interviewer is limited. Marion Manola will take the reporter into her confidence and assure him that she had originally a higher ambition than that of appearing in comic opera. "I wish very much to sing iu Italian opera, but the day of Italian opera seems to be over for the presuut. I am just as fond of acting as of lingiug, and I feel sure that I should make no succeas at all ia a concert where I should be obliged to keep still. I am very superstitious, and I think tbe members of our profession generally are. I have worn a four-leaf clover incased in a glass around my neck for tbe last two yeurs, and I wouldn t take it off for anything." Minnie Maddern will chat pleasantly with thereporter and give a good many interesting points. One story of hers in regard to the "discrimminating public" is worth repeating: "I remember once, several years ago, when I was playing some very bad plays, (and very likely playing them very badly), a certain celebrated baud honored me with a serenade after a performance. A tremendous crowd assembled in the streets beneath my window and there wss cheering and shouting. I was very young and consequently wild with delight over my triumph, and I remember that I threw some flowers to the musician!. A lady occupied the room next to mine���a great singer and great artist. Nobody paid any attention to her and on the following evening my audience was far greater than the one which greeted her. In glancing over the account hooks later I discovered that my manager had paid a pretty sum for that serenade." Juetly Indtg-nant. Every right-minded woman resents any reflections on her bonnet. Here it an Illustration in a story from open-car time: A director of a horse railroad line was riding on a car when a woman near him was robbed of her bonnet by a .gust of wind. Off jumped tbe woman after her bonnet without waiting for the oar to atop, while the director sat helpless and angry with visions of a suit for injuries from the relatives of the bareheaded woman dauoing through his own head. But back she came unhurt with the rescued bonnet on her head, and got upon the car, which had now stopped for her. "That's right," said tbe director. "That's right; risk your life for a two-dollar bonnet!" The womau'seyes flashed fire, and she retorted sharply, " 'Tain't a two-dollar bonnet; it's a seven-dol lar bonnet I" What Kind or Light. "I understand," said the private secretary to a stockholder iu tbe gas company, "that Sir Edwin Arnold got $25 ,000 for his 'Light at Asia.'" "You don't tell mel" was the reply. "What was it; gas or electricity!" Tbe gardener of the Kew Gardens, after numerous failures, has at last succeeded ia {rowing the Coco ds Mer, or double cocoa- out, which often attains a height of 150 feet, with a smooth trans: about a foot in diameter. A Great Increase Over Last Year's Trade ���The Prices Which Prevailed���llny- ers Claim to Have Lost Money���Ocean Disasters. When the last ship leaves this season 123,- 187 cattle and 42,263 sheep will have beeu exported. The ocean freights for these cargoes for the season is $1,740,240. There have been 37,469 more cattle shipped thia year than last. Many of the steamship companies admit that if it were not for the -attl�� trade their ships could not be run at a profit. From Quebec only 2,714 cattle were shipped, iu spite of the energetic efforts of that city. Many shippers claim that the season has been disastrous for them, yet they continue sending cattle forward, aud many hold that the claim was only a pretence for hammering down prices. They afflrm that prices in the British markets were between ��3 and ��3 less than last yenr, but they havu to admit that ridiculously low prices were paid here, and where the disaster occurred is hard to make out, e.-pee ally since ocenn freights were lower. They claim an average loss of from ��5 Ri ��10; but are forced to admit that of late they ore recouping themselves for these alleged losses. Of ranehe cattle there went forward 8.820 bead, against 4,200 last year. Much attention has been given to this branch of trade by the railways, and live stock cars were freely provided for the comfortable transportation of tbe stock. The only serious loss this season has been that of the Linda, which lost 380 out of 504 head, the rest being landed in an almost unsaleable condition. Manitoba Wheat. Mr. Duncan McArthur, President of the Commercial Bank of Manitoba, made the following wheat estimate for his own guidance; That an average of twenty bushels to the acre would be harvested in safety, but that fully four or five bushels would be left upon the ground. Of the grain saved in Southern Manitoba 25 per cent, is No. 1 bard, 50 per cent, good marketable grain, which will fetch from 70 to 75c, tbe balance having been damaged more by rain than frost, as it was a season without precedent for'rain. Mr. McArthur considered that after deducting what wheat is required to keep the mills going and for seed purposes the amount for export would be at least 12,- 000,000 bushels, and might exceed this. Mr. Baker said that his road is at present moving 100,000 bushels a day of good, marketable wheat, and the average in the Northwest section is 27 bushels, with not more than 2 per cent, damaged. He remarked that the eastern men in speaking of frozen wheat did not take into consideration that there will always be a certain amount run in late on chance. For instance, a farmer may make his calculations for 100 acres, and he has time to put in a few acres more, and as he has the seed be runs the risk; and if this extra patch is frosted he is uot surprised, but eastern men hear of it aud condemn at least half the crop. Why Hens do Not Lay. Oue of the puzzling questions that often arise in the experience of persons raising fowls, is why their bens are not laying so well as their neighbor's, who is far more fortunate iu the weekly additions made to his egg-basket. Many persons start out with the confident expectation of uninterrupted success in raising chickens and eggs, to find at last that the business has for some reason become unprofitable. Tho Southern Farm, commenting ou the above, advises: "In purchasing bens for laying, particular attention should be given to the solor uud appearance of their combs, which -hould be bright and red. Whore the comb has a dull, sickly color and a kiad of flatten' ed appearance, no amount of breeding or care will force the laying of the eggs as long as these conditions exist. Again, the legs should be smooth and clean aud free from scales and the appearance of spurs, both of which indicate that the hen has passed tbe laying age. The cock should be brought out of a different flock and be as purely bred as possible. The principal causes of failure iu egg production are believed to be, first, keeping heus that are too old; second, breeding iu aud in, or a failure to introduce new blood from sources entirely outside of oue's Bock; and third, keeping the flock too long in the same runs." t JOB f PRINTING The season is now approaching when every Merchant and Business Man will require a new stock of Office Stationery and other printed matter DAILY TELEGRAM The Experimental Farms. Last year some 2,760 three pound bags of seed grain were distributed throughout tbe Dominion, through the Dominion's experimental farms, of which number 1,067 were sent to farmers in the Proviuce of Ontario. During the last spring, and for the purpoaei of the harvest 'of 1800, the distribution exceeded 12,700 three-pound bags, of which number 4,544 went to farmers in Ontario. These distributions are carefully recorded, and each farmer receives these samples of grain on the express condition that he reports his experience and results to Prof. Saunders at Ottawa. It will be seen, therefore, that by means of luch a far-reaching ���ystem the problem of suitability may, in �� series of years, he satisfactorily solved. Tree Culture. If a majority of trees in the wood-lot are young, growiug and valuable timber, it is better to give up the ground entirely to them than to try to seed with grass for ths little pasture that may thus be got. Whatever vacancies exist plant in new trees, aud thickly enough so that they will grow up tall with few sido branches. An exception to this may be made where the tree is a sugar maple, and to be used for sugar making. Other things beiug equal, a maple that has a broad, bushy top makes the meet sugar. It generally also, if not on too wet ground, gives the sweetest sap. Tile Scene of War.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1893. The Windsor. Assaulted a Sheriff. A Victoria firm having a claim against the barque Dominion, which lay as long in difficulties at Departure B*y, put the matter in the hands of Messrs. Belyea k Gregory, who after obtaining a judgment sent a sheriff up to seize her until some settlement of the debt was effected. He arrived in thia city on Saturday last at noon, and in his capacity as marshal of the Admiralty Court, proceeded to Departure Bay, expecting to take peaceable possession. He boarded the vessel and at once announced his errand, but the party in charge, John Ferguson, ordered him off the vessel, and worried in mind, injudiciously assaulted the representative of the Crown. Sheriff McMillan, who at all times is a quiet, discreet gentleman, at once returned to shore and telephoned from the East Wellington wharf to this city for police assistance. Constable McKiunon was at once despatohsd to the sheriffs assistance and on his arrival put Ferguson under arrest. To aecommodate Mr. McMillan, who wished to return to Viotoria by Sunday morning's train, Ferguson was brought up before Stipendiary Magistrate Planta on the grave charge of assaulting a sheriff in the discharge of his duty. In defence Ferguson stated that he had for the moment lost his pretence of mind, He was laboring under great excitement caused to a great degree by the fact of the vessel being indebted to him in a corsiderable sum for wages and he feared any person getting in a claim before him. He expressed sorrow for his act which had due weight with Sheriff McMillan who, with his well known good nature asked the presiding magistrate to deal as leniently with the offender as he could. The decision was reserved until Wednesday next. Make it a point to call on Sloan k Scott to-day and get in on their big discount sale. They have still an elegant line of Jackets in Sealette and Cloth which are really tho finest ever imported to Nanaimo. 16-11 -3t. PERSONALS.
