Tho fnrmors of Ontario appear to be thoroughly in earnest in thoir agitation for unrestricted trade between Canada and the United States. They appear to be just as thoroughly worked up over this question as ever the manufacturers were over the question of securing protection, and for exactly the same reason, as will be seen by the report of the speeches made nt Oobourg, Ontnrio, a ta meeting of tlie Farmers' Institute of West Northumberland, which we give to our readers as an example of many similar meetings. It would be money in their pockets if they got commercial union. The United States is the best market for the Canadian farmers, especially for barley and some other coarse grains, as well as for horses and cattle and win- tor fruit, There is this to be said in favor of the farmer's demand. He does not ask the Qovenunent to tax other people in order that he may profit by it,—Mail, On this side the restless Atlantic, where the continuance in office of tho nation's head is a brief four years —or a rare continuance to twice that period—the idea of a half century of ruling by ono human being comes with some force. That that ruler is a woman invests the subject with additional interest for the gallant young nation whoso territory stretches from ocean to ocean. No heartier shouts ascended along the lino of Queen Victoria's route on the 21st of June than those issuing from the throats of Americans. Whether in the person of a queen or a charwoman, your true American recognises woman's work, and Victoria's admirers in the land of the Stars and Stripes include almost every intelligent man in Uncle Sara!? <ifl;, minion.. — Pittsburg Bulletin. It would possibly cost a New York daily newspaper about a third of its circulation to publish so heartly and altogether sincere a paragraph as the above.—if". Y. Truth. The contlict that has arisen between the Canadian Parliament and the Manitoba Legislature is, to say the least, a deoidedly unpleasant occurrence. The grounds of the contlict aro very simple. The Legislature of the North-western Provinco of Manitoba have granted charters for the construction of railways from Winnipeg no the United States frontier, and those have been disallowed by the Federal Government, which has tho power of veto on all provincial legislation. Tho action of the Federal Governmont it due to a desire to prevent the expanding business of the North-West from being diverted to the United States, and to cause it instead to pass over the Canadian Pacific railway, aud so benefit the other provinces of Canada. Judging by tlie telegrams received this week, feeling at Winnipeg is greatly excited on the subject. The Premier of Manitoba is reported to havo said: "Tho railway will bo built, no matter what tho consequences may bo. The contractor has everything in readiness to begin operations in the coming week. We are not serfs, and will not be found in tho background in the event of trouble, which I hopo will be avoided, but not at tlio expence of the railway project." Thero can bo no doubt that this language is largely justified. The Provinco of Manitoba is closely connected commercially with the United States, and the Govornment of tho province very naturally wish es to meet tho demands of business for increased means of intercourse, and help forward the legitimate and natural expansion of Manitoba. And the Federal Government is making a very grave blunder in peremptorily forbiding this; for by doing so it is imperilling tho unity of tho Dominion, whioh is still tar from secure, despito all tho efforts that have beon made to that ond. There can bo no doubt that tho business of Manitoba has a natural tendency to gravitate towards tho United States, instead of towards the provinces of the Dominion, and this should bo frankly reoognined by tho Federal Government, however much it may regret that such should bo the caso ofter it hns, by the construction of the Canadian Facitio railway, done so much to bring about nn opposite result. If Manitoba is givon to understand that if sho remains in the Union her commercial interests must be sacrificed, the temptation to sever her connection with the rest of Canada will be very difficult indeed to resist.— lonihn Kconomitt, July;.', GUT TO PIECES!

Sin Fkancisco, July 20.— In a long interview John D. Spreokles again speaks of the proposed landing of the Australian mails at San Diego. He touches upon tho great value to the United States of retaining the "mail contract apart from the monoy received for carrying mails. He said ' if the steuniera ceased stopping at Honolulu und made the run direct to San Diego, tho run could be made from Auckland in 15 to 1C days, or 20 days from Sidney. He then said, "I believe the Atchison road oilers to carry the mails from San Diego to New York in four days, which would give thirty days from Sidney to London and twenty-six days from Auckland to London through the United States. Thia beats anything that Canada offered by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Atchison would have advantage over the Canadian line in the absence of suow blockades, whioh wero so very bad through, Canada. If San Diego were made the mail terminus steamers would come on hero afterwards and San Franoisco trade would not be interfered with. It would be an advantage to San Diego and Los AngeloB, as passengers might land there before coining on here. TO I'lOHT PADDY KYiN. Cheyenne, Wy., July 20.—Jack Burke, accompanied by Paddy Carroll and his trainer, passed through from Denver this evening en route for San Francisco, where he will fight Paddy Ryan to a h'nish.

NEWSl'APEK WAR, ELFASO.Tex., July 20.—The newspaper war here barely escaped result- in tragedy today. The limes and the Inter-Eejiublic have been indulging in personal warfare for some time past, which reached a climax on Sunday morning by the editor of the Times making a statement that the editor of his cotomporary " Belonged in the penitentiary rather than in a newspaper ottice." The editors of the Inter-Republic, Geo. B. Lowing and Orth H. Stein, at once went gunning for Juan I. Hart, editor of tho rimts, who happoned to be out of tho city. Upon his return Monday ho was welcomed by the Inter-PrtMtc in a leading editorial calling him a "bar, paltroonand cur." This was more than Hart could stand aud arming himself with a shot gun he started out with an employee of his named Wimbody who wns armed with a revolver. Stein was met in the street near the stairway nnd Hart ordered him to throw up his liands. Instead of doing so Stein ran up stairs. At this point nn officer appeared and arrested Stein, Hart nnd Witnborly and placed them under bonds to keop the pence. During all this time Hart stood across tho streot and did not in- torofore. Stein wns brought here a yoar atro eharged with forging n check on tho Now York Sun. He lay in jail hero until about May 1st when he waa released on bail, awaiting trial on a requisition from the governor of Mississippi, whore Stein is wantird on another charge of forgery. Stein killed a mnn at Kansas Oity a few years ago and hns a bnd record in mnny localities. Last woek ho hnd beeu employed by tho Now York /leraW to visit Baovis- pa, Mexico, and investigate tho earthquake results in that region. EXCITING; TIMES IN BULGARIA.

Lambortson was shot in the left breast, just abovo tlio heart, dangerously; Wallaco Phillips, aged 10, was shot ou tho top of the head; ho is not very seriously wounded; ono of the Indians was shot low and badly hurt; tho extent of the injury is not known; he was immediately taken away. No cause is given for using bullets, oxcopt that tho cow boys got tho wrong rovolvors. It was during nn encounter of cow boys nnd Indians in the ring, IRISH BILL—AMERICAN INVESTMENTS — BLAINE. London, July 20.—At a meeting today the Irish Conservatives decided not to oppose amendments to the land bill accepted by Lord Salisbury. '■ The changes made in the bill to lessen opposition to the measure that it ie expected tho bill will pan the committoa , stage in a week. . A financial paper 'fft'is evening published an interview with Low, the New York counoillor-at- law,'at which the latter imparted the opinion of the alien act given: by Attorney-general Garland to President Cleveland. This opinion hi to the effect. that it does apply to mines or inheritable interests: in real estate; that aliens can lawfully hold stocks in American corporations owning mineral lands in the territories, provided such aliens may advanco money with which' to develop the mines, but they cannot obtain an interest in -real estate through BUch advances; that they may', , lawfully contract with American Owners to work mines. Low adds his'own opinion that aliens can dodge the aet legally by putting their money in 99 year leases.! An exploring expedition / headed by Joseph Manson is about to start for Lake Chad, central Africa. Andrew Carnegie supplies the bulk of the funds to defray expenses of the, expedition. Blaine decided not to go ' to Spithead to witness the jubilee naval review. Senators Hawley and Frye and Murat Halstead will accompany the diplomatic corps to Spithead. EXTORT OF CHINESE BONES. San Francisco, July 20.—A Chinaman named Wing Yung reported to " the health officer to-day that ho baa taken a contract to remove 400 bodies of Chinese from the city cemetery to China. For each permit of disinter- ' ment Yung must pay $10. STANLEY RETORTED DEAD. London, July 21.—A despatch from St. Thomas, West Africa, says the West African Oo. has secured a report that Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer, has been shot dead by natives with whom his expedition was fighting in order to obtain supplies. Another account says that the steamer on which Stanley was proceeding to the relief of Emin Bey, was sunk and that the explorer was drowned. The report em- ananates from a missionary at Matadi, who received it from natives from up the oountry. No direct message hu been received from the expedition. A HORRIBLE AFFAIR. New York, July 21.—A gang of Italian laborers were ballasting on the Erie railway on a sharp curve abont.... three-fourths of a mile above Hopokus. The Chicago express was an hour late aad rushed round tbe curve before the men had the slightest warning and dashed through them killing XT or 15 on the spot and wounding many otban. The shrieks of the victims were heart- rending, and when the train slowed up the track presented a sickening right, being covered with mangled bodies, rails splashed with blood, and broken -limbs and pieces of ragged flesh being scat^red in all directions. Some bodies were mangled beyond description and crushed out of all resemblance of humanity. To most of the victims death must have come instantly, bat some of them appear to be yet groaning and the life ebbing away. When the train wu brought to a stand still, there was only 15 minutes delay, aad the train which had wrought so muoh disaster proceeded on its way from Allendale to Hopokus. DISCREDITED. London, July 21.—Rumors regarding the death of H. M. Stanley is utterly discredited here. The latest authentic news from him wu from Ara- wiini, and was sent under date of June 2nd, and it would be impossible for the natives to reach Matadi and Arawimi nlone, as it is a thousand miles through a very hot country.

Providence, July 21.—Near the Connecticut line, and not far from a lonely little village, lut night, there was gathered the largest crowd of sports that the steje ever saw, at a prise ring contest between Ike Weir,'a Belfast sparrer, and Jacob Hamlin. After all the immediate details had been arranged Weir, being weighed in at 110 pounds, and Hamlin. at 120, the fight started. Weir got' the credit of first blond, but Hamlin got a knockdown. Sixty-one rounds were fought, and although the tight was declared a draw everything seemed in favor of Johnny Hamlin after the 30th round. 1200 MEN KILLED, j.

The. growth of the United States in wealth is very remarkable. It is estimated that each year $800,000, 000 is added to the national wealth. From various statistics it is learned that during the first half of this year 1600,000,000 has been invested in new buildings, in railway construction, arid in enterprises in the south. ' That is, the people have spent for improvements in the half year $200,000,000 more than they have fairly earned. This Bum must have been token from deposits which ought to be available for commercial purposes, or it most have been borrowed. In these circumstances the New York Tribune sees signs of the wonderful strength as woll as the dangers of the republic. Within the past few days thero have been two collisions among British ironclads, and although the damage done may not be very serious, the effect of these accidents must be somewhat alarming. The British navy has no equal in the world, but if these sea monsters whioh constitute the backbone of it are going to run into each other whenever they go oat together, they offer no public security at all. Unless things are better managed it will not be safe for two British ironclads to go out to sea at the same time; and if any considerable portion of the fleet should find it necessary to join together against an enemy, it is to be feared they would sink each other before the battle had well begun. Referring to the Columbian's statements respecting the condition of the buoys at the Fraser mouth, the VancouverNews says: "So from the beginning of July till some indefinite time in August, the vessels entering the Fraser are to have a kind of go-as-you-please arrangement If they get in without going aground, it will be all right. If they should not, it will be their misfortune, that is all. We have not the-pleasure of the acquaintance of Oapt. Lewis, but he is probably of the opinion that in rough weather when a captain could not take careful soundings, or on a dark and stormy night, that he should not attempt to enter the river at all, until Oapt Lewis has had an opportunity of taking that little trip on the Rithet. But the people of the mainland who are trying to build up their city, who desire that no unnecessary difficulty should be put in the way of vessels seeking to trade there, will not take this view of the matter, and will insist that the persons who have charge of these things should display, at least, the same energy as would be shown by a railway company or a private individual under similar circumstances." In its hut issue the Whatcom Reveille announces that an engineer with a corps of surveyors has made a survey of the West Coast Railway as far north as Lake Whatcom. "From thence," says oar cotemporary, "a line will be surveyed along the north shore of the lake to the first passable opening in the hills, and through this opening into the lower Notkaack valley, thence across the country in the direction of Westminster, Should this route Srove impracticable, a line will then e ran either from the head of the lake or from some common point in the upper Samish valley to the val ley of the south fork of the Nook- sack, thenoe down the river to or near Lyndon, and from thenee to die boundary line in the direction of Westminster," From this our co- temporary concludes that the West Coast Railway Oo. has abandoned the projected Hope line, and intends to make no connection with Whatcom. It calls upon the people, therefore, to take some steps towards reviving tbe Bellingham Bay & British Columbia scheme, or they would wako up some day and find themselves sidetracked. The abandonment of the Hope route will bring the only connection to Westminster, whero it ought to be. A double connection, such as has been proposed, always seemed to us unjustifiable on any grounds whatever. -SB M. A. 8t.

A decrepit little old man stood on Broadway down near Trinity Church trying to sell lead pencils, but bad luck at- tendel his enterprise, and finally disheartened ho fell back from the roadway's edge and leaned agglnst tho Iron nils that Inclose the hlstorlcold churchyard. -. v - And tha old man cried., His antique hat was dowri over hla oyos, and hurrying passers-by did not'notice his grief, but he sobbod loudYenough at last as he edged eft ol Broadway and around Into the narrow lane ot Rector streot. A stock-broker's attention was attracted then, and thowoopingold man was accosted. Ho had no story totell, he said, and wanted to go his way unquestioned, but Wall-street curiosity lsnot so readily to be waved aside, and the broker In tho end elicited the tale tbat he had demanded. It was a rather Strang* story, and lt was sad enough to make that, broker open his purse. The poor disconsolate old fellow was a Southerner. He was in the prime of life, a husband and a father, when the Rebellion broke out, and he, In devotion to his State, marched Into the field for the Confederacy. . Before tbe war Was over he lay In a prison, and afterward was In a hospital for months at death's door. . The fortunes of war had shut off communication with home; thevlllagewhere that home had been was In ashes, the site of* battlefield. But as soon as he was free he hurried to his native State seeking tidings of wlfo and ohildren. The boy and the girl ot his household were dead; the wife—their mother-a worse fate than death had claimed her. She was changed, Those who knew the woman told ot her coquetry with a man of money and position—a man who, though not brave enough to wear the blue, had oome to the Southlnthe Union Army's van. He was a Hew Yorker, and finally he had borne the lngrate wife away to the North In his company, she avowing herself his wife, her first husband, she Insisted, having fallen on the battlefield. When the husband heard this story he, too, started North. Four years he searched this city and this State over. In one particular he disbelieved the tale that he had heard South; he oould not aeoept as true the assertion that Ms wife had willingly wronged him; he hollered that she had really thought him dead; nor would he put his faith In tho story that aught but a saered marriage ceremony had given her to this second husband. At the end ot tour years his quest was rewarded. And he found that the Southern gossips had spoken truly. When he ventured to seek her presence she spurned him. This was fifteen year and more ago— years that brought no brightness to the old soldier; that hod a change ot fortune for the misled woman. A year ago her rich husband died. She was left penniless, oast adrift on the world. Somehow the news got to tho ears ot the husband working on a far Southern farm, reoognused by all as a mental wreck, and he scraped together a few dollars and hurried to' the city again. He was still In love with the erring wife, anxious to take her book, luU ol tilth that lt he and she oould again be reunited that all would go well, that prosperity would attend him, and that a nappy homo lite was certain. He didn't find nor. She was dead. Only a few days ago he learned this. Then his aim was to add a few more dollars to his hoarded pittance, and have her coffin taken from this town's Potter's Field tu the Carolina neighborhood where she spent her innocent maidenhood, where she was happy ere tbe glitter of gold came to tempt her. But hla pencils wouldn't sell; be was heart-broken, despondent, weary ot 111*.= '; t 1 The stock-broker who heard this story has no wife; some men have called him heartless. But he acted like a mortal all heart now—he put more money In that poor bUMellow e hand than the selling ot lead pencils months on months would have produced. And tho recipient of this largess was a new man In*moment; hla last dream wUI be reallzed.-[New York Times. «ti> Lockr Black Call.

"I have Just returned from a trip to Washington. I havo lost nearly all my confidence in human nature. I shall avoid that place as much as possible in the future." The speaker was tho agent of a largo manufacturing house in this city, and whenever the tariff tinkors get to work In Congress ho Is sent to Washington to., look after the Interests of his lirm. " I have had considerable experience In Washington," ho continued, " but my last trip Jjeats anything1 I have ever seen. I did not know that thore were so many tramps and dead beats In the country. " I had scarcely finished registering at Wlllard's when a man In the la t stages of Intoxication rolled up against me and claimed my acquaintance. He was so changed that I did not at first recognize him. His face was bloated, his eyes bloodshot, his qlrthlng dirty and everything about him ,stampod him as a drunken sot. " I recognized him as a man I had met a few years ago—a young man of promise then, but with too great a fondness for Washington whisky and gambling. I gave him a dollar and hurried away upstairs to my room. "I had been there halt an hour whon therowasaknook at my door, and in response to my summons a decently- dressed man walked in. I did not know him from Adam. He apologized for disturbing me at that hour—it was after eleven o'clook—and said that ho had met me with Colonel So-and-so the last time I was in town. Ho saw my name In the register down stairs and thought he would call to pay his respects. "Curious to learn why he wanted to pay -his respects to a comparative stranger, I did not follow my first Impulse and kick him out of the room. " After making a tew perfunctory inquiries about affairs in New York, hs came to tho main point. As I might have known.lt was my monoy he wanted. I forget just how he worded his request, but his embarrassment, which I bellevo ho said was temporary, was caused by the failure of the malls to bring an ex- pooted romlttanoo. Twonty-flvo dollars would holp him out. His manner was perfectly cool, aud ono might havo Imagined that I bad asked him to do me a favor. "I told him, howovor, that I was short of funds, and I kept all my money In New York. He waved his hand and sold: " 'Oh, It's of no consequence.' " On my arrival here a few days ago I found a draft on mo from this man for $28. He said In a note that ho owed a bill tor furniture, and he should toko lt as a favor if I would take up the draft and allow him to pay for lt by some service ho might bo able to render me In tho future. "I met hundreds like him. They dress pretty well, and the majority of them have seen botter days. " It Is wonderful how quickly they spot a stranger. They do not wait for an introduction, but throw themselves In your way and begin conversation at tho slightest provocation. They have many ingenious ways, and have reduced the art of deadboatlsm down to a science. They could givo tho most experienced bunco man points. " It I was asked once I was asked fifty times tor a ./temporary loan,' ana, what's more ro'i'iiKiitabio, none oi tlio amounts roquestod, wkli the excoption notod, exceeded $10. " What jrrAos tlioso Washington (load beul.i moie drmgerous is their frequent disguised Their former position In many cases gives them a sort of hold on members und senators, ana tney aro received In places where the professional swindler would not dare show his faco.

ON THE 10TH OF JANUARY, 1887, tlio Columbian Newspaper and Printing Concern was purchased" by a joint stock company composed of citizens cf Now Westminster, to be known ns tho "British Columbian Printing Co., Limited." The concern has boon for nearly a year owned and controlled by tho British Columbia Stationery and Printing Company, of Now Westminster, Victoria and Vancouver. The object of thu new company is to continue the publication uf tbo Bmtimi Coi.umhian newspaper and curry on a general printing and publishing concern, controlled outireiy by tlioso whoso individual interest it will bo to promote tlio development, especially of tho Mainland. Thero will bo no Blackening of tho energy hitherto displayed in the management of tho establishment, and its patronB may rely upon receiving full vnluo for their money. The Columbian will continue to bo entirely ind"epondont in both Dominion and provincial politics, nnd will dovote itself to tho advancement of snch schemes as mny be considered in the publio interest. Tho concern is now entirely separate from any other business, the book and stationery establishment in this city having been taken over by Mr. T. K. Pearson, who will continue to carry it on in his own name and for his own benefit. It is desirable that a daily newspaper should be maintained in this oity, and tbo now company asks for publio patronage on the ground that it is engaged in an enterprise calculated to promote tho publio welfare It asks that the Columbian bo judged on its own merits and supported only so long as its polioy is enconsistt with its professions. In consequence of this business change all accounts duo tho concern must bo settled without delay so that tho books of the former company may bo adjusted and closed.

Frost in Nicola a few days ago did some damage to vegetation. Yellow fever is widely prevalent at Memphis, and is causing much alarm. Mr. D. B. Calbick has sold out his undertaking business to Mr. \V. E. Falee. The Bithet arrived lut night at 0 o'clock. She brought up 100 tone of Sylvanus Cobb, the well known ktory writer, died at his home in Hyde Park, Man., on Thursday. It ii stated that the total sum contributed to the Nanaimo relief fund will be about ¥55,000. The building society hold their first drawing for an appropriation of $1,000 on Saturday, the 30th inst. :•' A halfbreed named McDonald was arrested thia afternoon by Constable Oarty Mr Mppljing liquor to Indians. "Ihe' Victoria Times of yesterday very kindly refers to the unsatisfactory condition of the buoys at the mouth of Fraser river. We are informed that the debt on St. Faul'a (R. E.) church haa been entirely wiped off. This is very credita- bletbtteeongrtgation. The Times lays the Colonist's Bute Inlet railway scheme, of whioh notice waa taken in these columns a few days ago, ia a canard. Very likely. From an advertisement elsewhere it will be aeen that the time for receiving tendera for Asylum supplies haa been extended till noon of Wednesday next. Bishop Cridge ia expected to officiate in the R. E. Church next Sunday, when a class of young ladiea will be presented in the-'evening for Confirmation. The R. E. Church Sunday school, accompanied by a large number of friends, left at 8:30 this morning on the itr. Ghidys for the farm of Mr. W. D. Ferris, North Arm, where they will hold a pic-nic. The Presbyterian and Baptist Sabbath Sohool pic-nic on Tuesday was a very pleasant and successful affair. The pic-uicers wero entertained with liberal hospitality at the farm of Mr. Fitz McCleary, and all were delighted with the trip.' We are informed that two Chinamen employed at the Royal City Plaining Mills were held up at the muzzle of a ahot gun the other night and had to show their pockets. One of the Celestial! bolted and got away, hut the other had to surrender his pile, which amounted to 12.50. We are informed that the Nicola mines, owned principally by Westminster eitizens, has been transferred to an English syndicate, who will proceed forthwith to develop them in a very extensive manner. We believo the price agreed upon ia somewhere in tha neighborhood of (14,000. At laat the dispute between Britian and Russia respecting Afghan boundary ia laid to have been settled by treaty. Russia gets the territory between Kusk and Murghab, and Britian acoepta the Oiui frontier line and gives up her claims to the diitrict to whioh aha waa entitled by the treaty of 1875. There ware quite a number present at the garden party given on thegroundi of Mr. Jamea Cunningham laat night. The grounda and the piazza were lighted up with Chinese lanterni and looked very well. Several vocal and instrumental pieces were rendered, and the band added much to the enjoyment by iti muBO. An Ottawa despatch atates that the revenue for tha fitetl year which ended on Jane 30, was 133,800,000, and the eipenditure 131,400,000, But over and above thii there waa an expenditure on capital account, i.e., an expenditure of borrowed money, of $5,. 400,000. The grou debt of the Dominion on June 30 waa 1270,000, the net debt |225,000,000.-Afo«. Little Sadie M. waa recently eating a good deal of choice confectionery, to the detriment of her digestive organs. Finally her mother sternly forbade her eating, any more. She sighed mournfully and than aaid: "Ok, dear, I wish 1 waaa cow." "Wby, Sadie," exclaimed her mother in a horrified tone "what do you meanl" "Well, if 1 was a cow I could bring all that eandy up and chew it over again." Cherries.—A large quantity of largo red and black cherries, sweet and sour, at 10c. per lb. Send your orders oarly iu the day. djySOwl W. OtAllKsoN. Greer on Top AaiiN.—The C.P.R. people seem to have given up the out- •ide fight with Greer. They have removed the construction plant off the disputed property and left him in possession. The matter will now be left fer settlement to the courts. The Dry Dock,—H. M. S, Cormorant was successfully placed in tho new graving dock at Esquimnlt yestorday. A large number of spectators witnessed the event. It is understood'thut whon she comes out the Triumph will go in, Everybody may bo congratulated at tho final completion of this great provincial work ana ut.tho successful docking of tho first vessel. Tug Gut Tiirinas.— Last night the missionary str. Glad Tidings arrived from Port Simpson. She is making a tour of the various Indian settlements along the ooast, and came up tbe Fraser so as to visit thoso who aro now engaged in tho canneries. Capt. Wm. Oliver is in command, and Mr. Robinson, of Kitamaat, is (loins the Indian work. Railway Siauqhikk. — Another horrible railway disaster is reported in our dispatches this after-noon. This iB evidently the resultof gross carelessness. We hope tho person who is re- sponsible for this needless and shocking loss of life will be promptly arrested and given an opportunity for sov- erol .years reflection in state prison. Such negligence iB criminal, and the frequent repetition of those disasters calls for exemplary punishment. The Last of Stanley, — If it be true, as stated in our dispatches of this afternoon, that H. M. Stanley has been killed, the fact will produce a sorrow reaching to the utmost limits of civilization. Dr. Livingstone may be called the first explorer of Africa, but no man has done so much as Mr. Stanley towards opening up the dark continent. His life has been one of marvellous escapes from frequent dangers, and people have become accustomed to regard mm as almost invulnerable. His death, if it has really occurred, will bo a groat loss to civilization. .—. . . Dispute About Newfoundland- A telegram appeared in this journal tho other day stating that Sir Alex, Camp, bell bad gone to Newfoundland for the purpose of endeavoring to induce that colony to enter confederation. A late despatch from Ottawa says: There is a diversity of opinion in tho Dominion cabinet as to the advisability of the government sending Sir Alex. Campbell to Newfoundland to negotiate with that colony on its entry into the Dominion, and as forming a part of the union of the British North America provinces. The protest,- it is understood, comes from tho minister of finance, Sir Charles Tupper, who holds that the alliance, in view of the destitute and embarrassed state of the colony, would only throw an additional responsibility on tbe almost depleted treasury of the Dominion. . . , White's Visit, — Hon. Thomas White, Minister of the interior, starts west on the 20th inst. Hu will proceed direct to the Pacific coast following in this respect the programme lie carried out laat year. He will first visit Westminister, where he expects to remain two or three days, then proceeding to Victoria, ami afterwards to Nanaimo. On his way oust tho Minister of the Interior will stop at Kamloops, Banff Hot Springs aud Calgary. At Swift Current he will leave tho railway, proceeding northward to Battleford by trail. Mr. White will not visit Prince Albert this year. If time permits ho will visit the southern portion of East Assiniboia. After stopping nt Brandon he will sub sequently spend live or six days at Winnipeg before -returning to Ottawa. The special object of his trip is to see settlers and inspect tho various land agencies. Intebioii Items.—Mr. H. M. Strain- berg yesterday returned frum on extended trip to tho interior, visiting Okanagan, Priest's Valley and Grand Prairie and other prosperous settlements in that section of the country. He also visited the mines of Mr. G. B. Wright at lllioillewael. He says Mr. Wright has twenty claims located and that already there is enough ore in light to pay for all the expense incurred in the developing of the mine heretofore. Illieillewaet is becoming quite a lively little town. The O. P. R. have had the place surveyed and tho lots are now on the market; and in consequence a great many buildings and dwellings are being put up. The railroad company is building large snowsheds in the vicinity, nnd this increases the activity. The Rock Creek discovery has produced tremendous excitement in Okanagan. It is said that aome of the ore will yield 822,000 to the ton, and there are millions of dollars worth of it in sight. . iai.'. Hymen's Altar.—In St. Poter's Runny Catholic Cathedral this morning Miss Mary A. Fagan of this city waa united in the holy bonds of marriage to Mr. Jas. M. McGovern, of Port Arthur, Ont. The nuptial knot wob tied by the Right Rev. Bishop Durieu, who was assisted by the Rev. Father Hor- rii and Rev. Father Joyal. A large crowd was present to witness the event Miss Leamy was bridesmaid, and Mr. Joseph Fagan, brother of tho bride, filled the part of groomsman. The bride is a daughter of Mr. W. T. Fagan of thii city, the genial and popular representative of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and the groom is one of the prominent oitizena of Port Arthur, he having for a long time past acted' as Dominion immigration agent there. After receiving the congratulations of the many friends of tho bride, the happy couple drove to Vancouver to catch the Yosemite, by whioh they left for Viotoria at 1 o'olook. It ie probable their honeymoon trip may be extended to San Francisco and southern California. The Columbian ndds its congratulations. Personal. J. W. Harvey, manager of JaB. Ellard & Co's. establishment, is at Victoria. Rov. K Robson came over from Vancouver this morning and returned this afternoon. GuBtnv Leisor came up from Victoria thia morning and went down the river on the str. Adelaide. It.
