The gold mines of Australia continue to be very productive. Somo of them are more than 2,000 feet in depth and many will be sunk even lower that in the near future. This is contrary to the predictions of old mining experts, who said many years ago that no gold would ever be found in Australia at a depth greater than a hundred feet.—N. Y. Tribune. Mr. Blobbs—"Mariah, hadn't I better take that hen to market)" Mariah—"She's about forty years old, Zeke, and I'm afraid shell spoil our trade. Better think up some other way of getting rid of her." "I might give her to the editor in payment of oursubscription." "I paid that yesterday in last year's turnip's." "Well, we'll save her for the next donation party."—Omaha World. ln one week in July last no less than $140,000,000 worth of rura|and tobacco was carried to West and South Africa from American and European ports. Thus, one great crime is being committed against poor Africa while another is being suppressed; and bad as is the slave trade, the rum traffic has greater sorrows for the despised African. And who is being enriched by the rum business? It is not those who buy; it is only those who sell and carry. Commerce is not benefited, because rum prevents production of that which really enriches commeroe, disabling and destroying the producer.— Chicago News. Secretary Bayard, it will probably be found, has proposed to England some joint police arrangement over Alaskan waters for the protection of the seal fisheries. This would be more sensible than the "closed sea" theory, which is about as tenable as the old English theory about the NorthSea as British dominion and the London Times, in a leader which reads as if it, were inspired, proposes a joint jurisdiction as the cure of all controversy. This will work well as long as the sealers are under the American and English flags, and with England and the United States united it would not be diffioult to extend an international jurisdiction over other nations.— Philadelphia Press. Telegrams froratheprovinoes bring accounts of weather of almost unprecedented severity for the time of this year. Snowfalls have taken place at Bologna, Mantova, Genoa, Florence, Modena, and elsewhere. At Torriglia, in Liguria, it fell to a depth of 30 centimeters. Near Far- ma telegraphic communications were interrupted, crops and animals were injured, and the ohesnut harvest was seriously damaged. In several places in that vicinity the snow was moro than a yard and half deep. A hurricane at Venice uprooted trees, blew down chimneys, and caused the loss of several barks. At Pisa, houses were partially unroofed, and the rain seemedtobe nsheot of water. Several lives were loss on the Lake of Como.'—AWf! despatch io London Standard Oct. gOth. A Brooklyn young man with a modest bank account and bright prospects, but without the remotest desire to become a benedict, at least at present, thinks he met the great crisis of his life this summer. "I won't mention any names," he said, "as 1 tell the story simply as a joko on me. You known I want to have my fling. I like to take young ladies to the thraotre and opera and to dancing receptions. I am particularly fond of having a bright young creature beside me when I take an afternoon drive. Well, I met a charming young woman of about thirty at Saratoga. Her folks were there. On my third drive with her we chatted quite afteotionately, nnd ns we parted in the evening she tenderly said: "Do you care if I tell my mamma of your affection for met" I am twenty years old, and if I live to be eighty I never expect to be floored as I was when this question came creeping in my ears. She, bless her, knew that a man can only be happy with a charming woman for his life companion, but I wasn't quite ready to bo convinced. I stammered that perhaps it would be advisable to defer informiug her niaiiiiiiii until I called again. I left the springs the next morninig on the train, and haven't seen my fair questionrr since."—iVea iork Sun. Worms dorango the wholo system.

THE CHOWN PRINCE'S OHANOES. Berlin, Nov. 12.—Dr. Schrosicr declares bis belief in the existence of a cancer in the crown prince's throat and proposes the dangerous but complete extraction by means of tracheotomy. If thia is done he thinks the Erince may live three or four years. •r. McKenzie opposes suck an operation as lie fears the patient would succumb to it. He hopes by his method to prolong life a year and a half. Dr. Kruuse proposes tracheotomy but he, oa well as all physicians, are in favor of postponing all operations until conditions are more favorable. The NationalZeihtny saya to-day: "The German specialists on Friday agreed that the diagnosis which they made last year was correct, since then the cancer hss spread." When the crown Srince was informed of the nature of is malady he retired for an hour. At the end of that time he had decided not to undergo any operation. He bears his terrible misfortune in the bravest possible Bpirit. THIS MORNINS'S DESPATCHES. THE WHALERS' CATCH.

The theft ivas' soon discovered and a search was inaugurated for tlio thieves. They wero found n few miles above Wallace and brought to Albuquerque, and on n preliminary trial they were bound ovor to await the action of the grand jury. .-A*.. Mr. T. C. Borchard, publio school teacher, Norland, writes: "Daring the fall of 1881 I was much troubled with Biliousness and Dyspepsia, and part of the time was unable to attend to the duties of my professioa. Northrop A Lyman's Vegetablo Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure waa recommended to me, and I havo much pleasure in stating that I was entirely cured by using one bottle. 1 havo not had an attack of my old complaint since, and have gained fifteen pounds in weight." Trade letnras, Ottawa, Nov. 7.—The trade returns between Canada and the United Slates for the fiscal year ending .Tune 30th, have beon made. The oiports amounted to (59,632,685; the imports to (34,038,110, or a total of $72,836,387. The figures in 1836 wero 836,578,7611, and (*t4,858,03!) respectively, and in 1885, $39,752,734 and 847,150,210. While tho exports arc about up to the average of the lost few years, it will bo seen that there is a considerable falling off in imports. Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and other territories exported goods to the United Slates amounting lo (31,306.158 and imported to the extent of (30,828,838. The value of the Maritime provinces exports to tho Btatos wns (4,080,031, and tho imports 82,- 453,360. British Columbia's exports to the states for tho year aro valued at (1,660,161, and tiio imports (1,278,- 000.

Lonjion, Nov. 12,—Memben of IU government admit that tha chanoaa of of effecting a coalition with Lord Hartington: during the recess, hart not been increased by recent events, or by the polioy into which the government has drifted. In the absence of uy event, suoh aa Ihe ill-health of Lord Salisbury, compelling a reconstruction of the cabinet, or the formation. ot a new ministry, il iB believed there will be no change in the attituda of Lord Hartinrton, who will prefer to await developments of the Unionists polley. The Tory leaders know that Lord Hartington would yield anything bs regarded as a necessity, and would join them rather than admit Mr. Gladstone to power in the present aspect of the Homo Role question. The little hook recently published by a workingman, giving an account of the Church of St. Alban'a, Hclborn, from the beginning, and ihe various vicissitudes through which it bas passed, is now being distributed by these workmen as evidence that Gladstone, in hia scheme for disestablishment in Wales,' has the interests of the ohorth of England at heart. Ther book k dedicated to the Bight Hon. W. K. Gladstone, M.P., u a slight token of gratitude for the noble and unsupported defence of tht rights of the church of England.' There are already a number of ministers of the English Church who favor disestablishment. They also prefer 'that Gladstone should champion the causa as they are confident that under Us regime, thu interests 0f the ohuroh till- not bo passed over lightly. The news from Afghanistan excites much uneasiness at the India and foreign offices. Both the position of tha Ameer and his health have bwoau much weaker. He is a man of gnat resolution, but his severity hu alienated powerful tribes, and the succession, in the event of his death by disease or murder, is uncertain, owing to the fsnoy of his ton and the pretension and popularity of Ayoub Khan. Luti Dufferin is powerless to control evtnta in Afghanistan, and awaits thtir. development, tht probable issue of which ho is quite unable to forecast for the information of Lord Salisbury and Lord Cross, with any approach to oer- tamty. Events may arise leading to fears for the security of England's tjk_- reement with the Russian government, and to the possible. necessity .for, another advance to Canduhar in case of the Russian occupation of Herat. A glance at the telegram * of th* week shows that the problems which occupy the statesmen of Europe art the same to-day at they have bttn for many months, In France the stability of the government and perhapa of tht constitution, is in question. In tht east it is still doubtful whether the threatening storn has blown ortr. In Germany the ill health of the emperor, empress and crown prinoe canst the gravest anxiety. Tht death of tht emperor and the crown prince, ud both seem to be nearing thtir tod, would bt a great lots to tha Gorman army as it would leave it without t rallying figure in ease of war. Both are the idols of the army and with either of them at its head, Germany would have little to fear. Nothing comet out more clearly from what is known of the diplomatic activity of the last twelve montta thu the change whioh had taken plaet in the relation of most of the powers of Great Britain! Every power just now appears to be anxioua to be on good terms with England. No one who it acquainted with the ways of diplomacy will believe this change uf front on tht part of the powers is accidental, or that it is the result of sentimental regard. The explanation is as simple aa the state of things it reveals is significant. The powers have been guaging each others strength with a view to possible troubles. The groups into which thty - fall aro so nearly balanced, that both tides look around for additional weight for their own scale, and it hat becomt evident to both, that England, in spite of weak points in her military organization, is able to makt tht beam point in whiohever direction tht may take. It it clear, however, that. En- . glish sympathy and English inttrttta alike dictate a policy of friendship snd support lo Germany, Austria and Italy. The relation of the powers to Great Britain furnishes the clearest evidenct iImt tho peace of Europe at prtttnt rests on uo solid foundation. C. C. Jacobs, Buffalo, N.

Our cotemporary of the Vancouver Xews blows hot and cold on tho proposal to issue a folder for the purpose of making public some of the advantages and resources of tho city and district of Westminntor. While admitting that the scheme may bo productive of much good, our cotemporary thinks it will be necessary to exercise very great caution or else we may find ourselves in possession of a lot of immigrants who are quite unsuited to the circumstances of the country. In hia anxiety to preserve the attitude of friendliness without detection our cotemporary gets considerably mixed. For example: "We consider that the character of the immigrants who can come here with advantage to themselves and to the province are the most desirable olass of immigrants that can settle in any country," etc. Our cotemporary is completely off when he brings forward Kansas and Missouri as instances. To compare these bleak and uninviting regions with this Srovince is a libel on British olumbia. Our cotemporary of the Times is unreasonable. He is now expressing dissatisfaction because the government does not hurry up with the Oomox election. Mr. Stonhouse had scarcely got off the seat before Mr. Humphreys was canvassing tho constituency, and the Times seems to bo of opinion that it is the duty of the government to hurry on the election with all possible haste so that the people will have no opportunity of bringing forward any other candidate with a reasonable hope of success. "This district is • large one," says out cotemporary, and in a few weeks more we will be in the middle of winter." That would be dreadful. In winter those who intend to voto for Mr. Humphreys could not possibly get to the polls, white rain und storm would make no difference at all to the government candidate! Or, perhaps, the Times thinks the government may be able to distribute sunshine and warmth among its own supporters, while Mr. Humphreys and hit friends are shivering in the cold ■hades of opposition! We should think it is quite proper that the electors of Oomox should have am- Ele time to consider the matter they ave just now in hand, and this is especially necessary if there is the slightest danger of a person of Mr. Humphreys' reputation being able to secure the seat. If the government had hastened with the issue ot the writ it is more than likely the limes would have objected all the same, and declared that the election was "being sprang upon the people, with indecent haste by a doomed administration who hoped thereby to snatch a constituency from the loyal opposition!" If our cotemporary were to be quite candid we are sure he would admit tbat this is about the sixe of it. It seems to be settled definitely now what the Ohina steamers are to do for Viotoria. A representative of the Times had an interview with Oapt. Webber the other day, and stated that instructions have been istned to tbe effect thut the steamers are to be taken to Esquimalt on the inward trip. There the Victoria passengers are to be landed, together with any freight sent by exprett for that city. Ordinary freight, he said, must go to Vancouver and would be lightered to Victoria. With respect to the mails, the company had nothing to do with them beyond mere carriage, and must deliver them where directed. If the mail for Victoria were made up separately there would be no difficulty in having it left off at Esquimalt. It is probable this will be done. We are glad to observe a disposition on the part of the Victoria papers to speak in a less lios tile way retpeoting the new line of steamers. Their good sense must suggest the absurdity of their former attitude, which was both unpatriotic and childish. We have all along been of opinion that Victoria's grievance against these steamers waa not sufficiently serious to justify the absurd threat of applying the boycott. The opportunities for extending trade afforded by this new line are very valuable, and if the people of Viotoria and the rest of British Columbia are alive to their interests and possessed of sufficient enterprise they will take advantage of these opportunities and thus ndd materially to the trade and wealth of the province. Already large tkipmentt of flour and lumber, and sample lots of fruit and other provincial produots have been sent to the east by thete steamers, and it is possible auch shipments may be made a prominent feature of the trampaefflo trade. We are sorry that nearly all the flour so far has been brought from beyond the bouu- ikrj, but as soon aa our citizens hare conttruotod a fint-closs flouring mill In this oity we shall be abb to do this trade ourselves.

Equally well known era Iho farts that the l'oel- ites iiilitrinl Iv identified thems.lves with the Lib, ra! party, and that I'liul- stono, who was the airiest of them all, has been lor Iwenry years the recognized leader of the progressive forces in the British House of Commons. Wiihin thorte liist two years a rapture, tot unlike thnt ctuscil by the secession of tho Peebles irom the' Tories, liars taken place among the Liberals, and one who has-Ireen absent from the country for a time is met on his return for 11 brief and friendly visit by the most Flan ling dimhveries. First of all he lln,Is tlilit some of those whom he lornierly kli w nrt the shinncliest supporters of Liberalism, nnd the most devoted pernonni a'imir.rs of Mr. li lad- stone, are now denouncing him with a bitterness not Ir&i tlinn that which I'l.-racli manifestert in liis attack on Peel, and arc sUiirliast- upholders of a i o iTiuiit'nt wliotio principal policy in lre:nrrl is lluit of .the very coercion whicli for ye.irs tlioy had condemned. Who, fur example, hns drawn up a stronger indictment against the government of Ire.and by Kngland on these tin,s than-John Bright'and yet, in spite ol lib foliiier friendship with Mr. (.I.idstone, ho is now one sf Ihe most pronounced antagonists of his quondam colleague. Indeed it is probable that this altitude of Mr. Bright did more than any oilier single cause to bring about the deleat ol Gladstone at the last general election, for multitudes reasoned that il Sir. Bright, with all his well-known sympathy for Ireland, could not support the policy of Gladstone thero must be something wrong about it, nnd so they either voted with the 'lories or abstained from voting altogether. They could in aome degree understand and account forthe attitude of Argyll, Hartington and others, inasmuch as from traditional position, and from thoir interests ns landlords, they might hu led astray, but Mr. Bright was above nil bucIi reproach, and so but of regard for him they cither followed him or stood aloof. Another surprising thing to ra waa to find that some of those who had been specially prominent in religious and Ih'H'I neiil eiiorts for tho well-being of v. lint mny moat conveniently be de- wriihed ns the masses, were ndwranked among the fiercest opponents of him whom we have been accustomed lo regard lis the foremost Christian statesman nf his time. lit our view, one of Iho chief merits of Mr. Gladstone has been that he bas endeavored to bring Christian principles to bear on the solution of political problems. More than ol nny other public nun of this century, lo go no furtter back, it may be said of bim that ha hu brought an enlightened Christian conscience to the settlement of public questions; and yet in Liverpool at least we lind that aome of the "bolters" from hia leadership were among the most earnest and successful laborers in evangeliatio work. Indeed this if an in a greater or leas degree all oyer tji# country. Among Liberal-Unionists, 'aa they are called, we lind auch Nonconformists aa t'purgeon, Stoughton, Allon and othen in Kngland; and Cairns, Calderwood and men of like standing in Scotland. We do notsay that anything like a majority ol such men are to be reckoned aa Liberal-Unionists, but that men of such cnl,bro shonld btafchoned tmoogthem at all gives »gr*l«r gravity to the crista than uinllitftiMon'tblsriideef the ocean have been accustomed ta suppose belongs to it. Another perplexing thing to tu ta tho ijercep'ionot the bfcternese which Wo Uo not wish to apeak IndlaCTinii- nnicly, or to indicate that there are no exceptions to what we are about to aav, I ut we have rarely heard such inaledic- tiora poured on tbo head of a man aa tlioso which have been heaped by lonner Liberals upon that of Mr. Glad- store. Londoner! especially, for what reason does not aeem apparent to us, aro tierce in their invective. It Is id'egcd that he half destroyed tlie liberal party; that he has turned his lmtrk upon hia former self ;that he has betrayed hla followen; that he ia • political trickster, and the like, aa if the maintenance ol a party were net a ineiimtoaneid, bat Indeed the only thing thtt ^statesman had to secure, tome who wish to be charitable try to r iiulitiate Me conduct by saying thst he is ins intt, and tha mere mention olsuch tin assertion to those who have marvel. led at (he ttrtellectual ability ol his niostrocenrip-eechea will be enough to indirate the eleetrlo condition ol leel- iiigin regard to him. Meanwhile Mr. i Hailstone himself deals in no recrimination, but speaks of hia detractors aa old friends from whom it ia intensely painful fOTftithiobs (operated, tint in r- L-ard to whom he would rather keep s Icjico than apeak worda el personal anilitdMty. ShjiWu thl'be insanity,; .

Even Ths Siimnlar, by far the ablest ol the London worklierr, and which alone of them all wi a cleiir-aighteil enough to eee where the i iiiht wss during the civil war hero, is decidedly On the side ol Hartington, but It seta aneaample to all others in 1 .u le in i of reppect and conrteiy, not lo any u:l' rtinii with which it eous'.aiitly refer** tn Mr. titriilstone. Mifh If in.' Ihe state ot affairs, one ia tetiiiii.nl tu liik how lt haa como about. Now it may Iw granted that Mr. Glad- tb,n i was peiliniie too precipitate in his i. oveinent in behalf ol Home llule. eam—mmtetmaaammtmmm—mtammmmmm He did hot take time to "educate hia party," It is constantly said, indee', by Liberal-Unionists, that he should have proceeded by resolution, as ho di I in the matter of the disestablishment oi the Irish Church. But those who thu3 speak seem tacitly to concede tli.it as in tho cits'j of tlio disestablishment just mentioned, Home l'rrlrr of some sort i.r sure to como in the end. It is, therefore, an admission that Mr. Glndstolio is ahead of bis da.fi Bnt'that is a iiia'rk of greatness, and if that bo true of hiin, then no mutter bow lie had procoedod, some'would havo (allon nway from him. '1 hen ns to over-haste, it is not to bo forgotten that Mr. Gladstone is now on tho borders of fourscore. In tho ordinary course of events ho has not ninny more years to livo and work. What, therefore, could be more natural to ono of his temperament and < onvictions, than that ho should desire to do forthwith that which he clearly foresaw would require sooner or later to be done somehow. Tims while the defection ol some of the members ol his party may bo easily cxplhnblo on tho ground of Ilia rapidity ol mrrvrment, that rapidity isitsell a eliaini'eristic ot tiro man and a necessity of his lime of life. But the secession irom the Liberal party may be du r in somo crises to tho influence of fashion and success in 1 ifo. lt happens that not a fow who in curly days of strngglo wero conspicuous f >r their exertions in the popular cause, have become wealthy through pt-osp r- ity.- Naturally, therefore, they iles.ro to take their places among thu gentry of tbe county families. But to thb tlieir liberalism has heretofore been a barrier. Yet they could not bring tliemselv. i to break with their old party only (or that reason, though for years they had been in It rather than of it. They bad lost their enthusiasm in its behalf, and now. they have gladly embraced the opportunity of alleging so good a pretext as that whicli the present controversy offers for going over to the ranks of tho Tories. Others, again, have been moved by Cersonal ambition. This seems to havo een the case especially with such a man aa Joseph Chamberlain. The opinion of many of Ihe most conservative, is that throughout—lo uso an illustration Irom Ihe cricket fiel l-ho haa been playing olf his own bnt, and that he hns for the time at least seriously blighted what seemed to be the fairest prospect of success. So much for the rupture in tne Liberal party. But the Tories are not a happy family any more than tho Liberals. Many ol them have followed the present Government with great misgiving, and we come into contact with some of them who are just as dissatisfied with Salisbury aa the Unionists, so-called, are with Gladstone, They cannot depend upon their leaders. They distrust I hem on every hand, regarding them as simply "opportunists" who are ready to do anything which may keep them in oflice. Tho Land bill of this last session ia disliked by genuine Tories as much as any men!nre of Mr. Gladstone's ever was, ami the landlords ere beginning to think that as far as their interests are concerned, thero is littlo to choose between Liberal and Conservative. When we turn to the future, and ask what is likely to be the outcome of all this, we find lt exceedingly difficult to get an answer. Prophecy is tho most gratuitous method of running into mis. take, and we remember the aphorism, "never prophesy except you know." Still from the past one limy come tn some conclusion as to the (ntiire. An I looking at the present state of things in irival Britain in that light, we may arrive at one or two conclusions as to the probabilities. Things cannot continue as ther ere. It is impossible that Ireland can' long be governed by coercion. A sulijec 10:1 which needs to be constantly mmut hied by the sword ol an armed constuh- nlary is not worth anything when vou have got it; and Ihe conscience of'the great Hritish people, irrespective ol all parly, will not long suffer such a sub- lection to bo insisted on, Then, again, tho peoplo of Great Britain will Boon become restive un Irr the blockade which Ihe Irish .question h-is put upon all I 'gislaliou lor Kngland and Srotland. They will insist upon some settlement which will allow lli.'in to look after their own nl'nirs. 1'itlior, therefore, they will put Mr. Gladstona once again in power, Hut he may formulate and carry out those measures which he and his party shall desire for tho pacification ol Ireland; or the Tories will do as they have done before, ami anticipate and indeed prevent such a mode ol settlement by Ihauise.ves, bringing out a Homo ltulo measure Which will go further than any thin) Mr. Gladstone would havo proporel. At any rale, il tlio recent bve-elertioin aro any nit lion of Iho gcncr.il nrirrl'rii opinion ol Iho country, It wmiidsoni .that a reaction is sotting in, mi 1 Ih it in the event ol another general election occiiring, tho Liberal-Unionists as a party wonld be seriously crippled if not nearly annihilated. All this, of coins .>, la merely problematical, but strange.- things than either of those which wo havo Indicated havo happ-ned lit tin iiast, anrl they may happ.'h agii\ Meanwhile wo may cloru this l.t'-r with a clever squib, published In VV Daily AVtnnot long ago aa descriptive of the Unionist candidates at iiiin recent elections, which were reiiilenrd necessary in somo cases by the deaths of the sitting members, and In others by their elevation to tho peerage: ■Ton little Unloul.u kicking np a shins, One weak to Buraloy, aad tau there ware HlaeUtUsViloelstiwstplagarartaalriMe, Autku wear lo njMstone, aad thsaihsra were eight; Eight llttlo Unionist) fruition still in Heaven, Fought a light In Cornwall, anil (Iron there wore sovon; Kytn llttlo Unionists still np to trloks, lrl a (Ing at Spalding, sua thou tilers wen six | six llttlo Unionists ftoih anil all allvo, Sont a man to Coventry, and tlioa thore wen livo] Flvo llttlo Unionists rrnllnnt as before, Tried luok at Glasgow, anil thon then woro filar; Konr llttlo Unionists bumntloils as could bo, Haila shot St Norwich, on,I then there won Throe llttlo Unionists looklnst lather blue, Tliuinru ltlmoll lull thorn, rtri.l thou thon wero _ two: two littlo Unionists firclltrjt ratlior done, Joo cut a suiriirrorarrrilt, an,I then then was onoi Ono llttlo Harliiiflou sitting all alone, lie Jolnoil tho Terioi, anil then thore won none."

Constipation Is a universal and most troublesome disorder. It causes Hcndaoke, Mental De- preBsion, Impairs the Sight and Hearing, destroys the Appetite, and, when long continued, causes Enlargement of the Liver, Inflammation of the Bowels, and Piles. Constipation ia speedily cured by Ayer's Pills. For a number of months I was troubled with Costlveuess, in consequence of which I suffered from Loss of Appetite, Dyspepsia, and a disordered liver. My eyes ulso troubled mo. I was compelled to wear a shade over them, and, at times, wan unablo to bear exposure to tho light. I was entirely CURED BY USING throe boxes of Ayer's Pills. I have no hesitation in pronouncing this medicine to be the best cathartic ever made. — James Eccles, Poland, Ohio. I suffered from Constipation, and, con3 sequently, from Headache, Indigestion, and Piles, fox years. Ayer's Pills, which I took at the suggestion of a friend, have given me effectual relief. I commenced taking this remedy two months ago, and am now free from Constipation, the removal of which has caused my other troubles to disappear, and greatly im-. proved my general health.—W. Keeler, Amherst, Mass. I suffered from Constipation, whioh assumed such an obstinate form that I feared a stoppage of the bowels. Two boxes of Ayor's Pills cured me, completely.-D.

On Thursday morning tho str. Mns- tick arrived at Nanaimo wilh a ship in tow nnd was immediately Beta! fur an alleged infraction of tho customs regulations. The captain gavo a bond for $400, and tho matter has been referred to Ottawa. According to ihe cup- tain's statement the mistake arose from an error on the part of the colloetor at Vancouver. ■ Thoroughbred Block < iinilui;. The Guelph Mercury of a recent date says: "Mr. John Kirkland, who has been paying a six weeks' visit with Mrs. Kirkland to old friends in this eity, returns to his home nt Ladners, B. C, this week. He shipped un Monday a carload of stook, consisting of 4 Durharas from Henry Arkell, 2 Hereford, from F. W. Stone, 3 Ox- forddown sheep from Henry Arkell, and 2 Suffolk pigs from Walter West, which he has purchased while here." Quick Work. Lost night tho crow of the steamer Yosemite discharged anil loaded 120 tons of freight in 2 hours and IB minutes. This is an example of the rapidity in which freight can bo handled at the fresh water terminus. Mving tho advantage of being practically above tidal waters vessels can be unloaded and loaded at Westminster without taking the tide into consideration, und the vessels decks being nearly level with the wharf reduces the labor and cost of discharging to the lowest possible figure. ' General Middleton. Major-General Middleton has returned to Ottawa from Montreal and denies the statement that he intended retiring from the command of the Canadian militia, owing to his poriod of service in the Imperial Army having expired. The statement, he said, was unfounded, as the Canadian authorities were desirous that he should retain command in Canada and he waa willing to accede to their wishes. General Middleton complained that he had not been fairly treated by the Imperial authorities. ♦ • . ■ British Columbia Frail. Mr. Philip FewBter, one of the recently returned British Columbia excursionists, brought to town a number of samples of fruit grown in the neighborhood of Victoria. They include about ten varieties cf eating and cooking apples. Anderson Bros., fruit merchants of Victoria, sent on the samples in the expectation of establishing an agency for thoir sale here. The pears are of very fine quality, und in flavor much resemble the California Bartlett's. The apples aro of large size and very good eating, though somewhat coarse and less finely flavored than tbe eastern varieties usually imported here.—Winnipeg Fin Press. More land Slides. The train from Vnncouver yesterday moruing experienced a rather eventful trip alid was delayed in ctmsequenco nearly two und a half hours in arriving here. About half way between Vancouver and Port Moody, a small land slide was met with which caused the first delay, a little further up wns another slide and at the cut near Mondy where the row of piles uro being driven, a large slide had taken place aud u heap of earth covered tlio track. A gang of men were at work on this slide and considering the amount of onrth to be rornovod, the job was accomplished in a remarkably short space uf timo. After clearing the big slide, no other impediment was met with and train arrived in this eity nt 3:30 o'olock. —. . -...—. risking Heals lost. In the storm on Friday afternoon three of Vianen's boats were fishing oS Plumper's Pass. Tho sous became so high that the men considered it best to make for tbe pass for shelter and while in the act of doing so a heavy sea came bowling along whioh swamped one of them. The men in the remaining boats, notwithstanding the groat danger, put about and gallantly went to the rescue and wero successful in saving tho orew, but the boat and fishing gear were lost. Mr. Vianen's loss is in the neighborhood of 9300, which will greatly reduce his profits in tho deep sea catch. Another boat was lust on Friday by Ihe surveying party under Mr. Geo. Turner, C.E. It broke loose from tho steamer somewhere on Howe Sound and was driven ashore and stove to pieces. . . . Highwaymen at Work. It is not every town in tho province of British Columbia that oan boast of a real live highwayman of the good old Turpin sohool, but Westminster can "no so, honestly and fairly. On Saturday night Mr. S. F. Holt, who lives at somo distance, below tlie Royal City Planing mills, was going home, and on reaching n lonely part of the road was suddenly confronted by a powerful looking man who ordered him to throw up liis hands. As tho mnn was armed with a long carving knife, Mr. Holt lost no time in obeying orders, remarking at tho same time he had only throe short bits in his pocket: The highwayman on receipt of this intelligence looked a little disappointed, and remarked ho "guessad he had stopped the wrong man," and allowed Mr. Holt to proceed. As we have heard of no othor attempt to rob anyone ou Saturday night, it is likely the man with tlie knife did not find the person ho wns looking for. The polios are working, up the cose audit is quite probable that they will bring the gentleman of tho vend to account A Big Waikent It Sltonen. During Saturday night a washout Ooo'tfro'd on the C. P. R. at Nicomen Slouglr which carried away nearly 300 feet of the road-bed lending to tl o Nicninon bridge. It is rumored nlso thut tho bridge itself suft'orod but tlio railway officials dony it. Immediately on tho nows of tho washout being received at Vancouver, a largo forco of men, under Asst. Supt. Downio, wero despatched by a special train and tho work of filling in is boing proceeded with na rapidly an men and machinery ean accomplished it. In consequence of thia trouble no train from tho cost arrived either yesterday or to-day, but it is expected the service will bo restored to-morrow. The stoainor Irving wont up to Harrison River this morn ing and will bring down tlio delayed mails and passengors. Sal,inlay Night's Slorm. The second storm predicted by Copt. Peele came to hand a little too prompt- ly for comfort on Saturday night. The rain fell in torrents and tiro wind blow a hurricane during the whule night, shaking buildings and threatening some of the most frail with do- molishment. A number of signs suffered badly, among which was the huge watch suspended ovor Crake's door. The tin roofing on the str. Reliance was rolled up like a sheet of paper, but no further damage dono to the vcbboI. The rainfall between 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon nnd 7 o'clook yesterday morning wss 2.13 inches, whioh is tremendous oven for Westminster. Capt. Rudlin of the str. Yosemite, reports that tho storm was so severe on Fri- afternoon that on reaching Plumper's Pass he anchored thore until Saturday morning. Crossing tho gulf yesterday the sea was very high and delayed the steamer's progress considerably. Early yesterday morning a Norwegian barque went ashore at Esquimalt, togs were sent to hor assistance, but the amount of damago was not ascertained. Taken altogether the storm was one of the most severe that has visited this vicinity for some length of time. . . .
