Looks and Acts Like a Flying Machine���Has Black Eyes and Horns on Tail. Boston, Sept. 27.���The aeroplane bug is the latest thing. Cliftondale has produced it, and William Meader, amateur taxidermist, has the honor of having revealed its existence. Meader came on the strange insert in his garden. So far as he has been able to ascertain from a. study of "bug" books, nobody ever knew of the insect before, and therefore he has christened it the aeroplane bug. It measures five inches from head to tip of tail. It has six legs, each three-quarters of a.n inch in length. The first section of the legs is of a light brown color and the second of a brilliant green tint. The body resembles the color of ihe small branches of a gr;.|)c vine. Its head is the size of a small shot, and the bug hi's two little COal-black eyes. Two red feelers, each iwo itches loi g, extei-il from ihe side of each eye. On lhe tail are horns about r.n eighth of an inch long.

The proposition that the present tax on wild land should be increased was strongly opposed by Manager Lewthwaite of the Nechaco Land Company. He favored a fixed charge instead of ten cents per acre on all lands. Senator Macdonald who was present and testified gave it as his opinion that all persons who contributed $25 a year in taxes should be relieved from a revenue tax. He considered thai a personal property tax was very difficult to collect at all fairly. He was for placing a heavier tax on wild land than on ordinary land. W. J. Sutton in his evidence said he considered thai lhe holding of wild land was detrimental to the development of the province and should be taxed accordingly. A suggestion that wild land be taxed on a four per cent basis, however, he thought would be prohibitive. AFTER MANN CUP Vancouver Lacrosse Team Reach Toronto Play on Saturday.

KING TAI CHARGED WITH INTIMIDATING A WITNESS In Chinese Gambling Case Today City Solicitor Peters Produces a Witness Who Says King Tai First Offered a Bribe Then Threatened to Kill Interest in the Bout Considerable interest is expressed in the tiiy today in the coming great boxing contesl between Oscar Nelson antl Joe Baylcy at the Kaien Island Club. Charges by City Solicitor Peters that King Tai, known officially in the present Chinese gambling case as Wa Lee, had endeavored to intimidate a witness for the prosecution named Lee Kee wiih threats to kill after attempting to briln- him wiih fifty dollars lo leave the dty, caused some sen- sation in the police court this morning. The witness Lee Kee gave his evidence with marked signs of agitation, and the Interpreter whose winning smile beams alike upon defence, prosc- Ceution, and court in a manner mth "child-like Snd bland" seemed strangely stultified under thc dark- eyed gi'Ze of King Tai. Mr. Patmore angrily resented lhe charge made by Mr. Peters, had suggested that he should lie in conn about the gambling game. Witness said thai he would rather tell the truth. He saitl Wa Lee told him he WSS scaring people BWay from lhe game, and offered him ISO to quit the city. He refused, and said lhat at this Wa Lee had called him filthy nanus and threatened to kill him. Witness repeated the language used ;M which there was a guffaw- in court at his Chinese pronun* elation of certain English deep sea oi'ihs. '.That'a edifying," remarked Mr. Patmore in withering tones tO Mr. Peters.

Rumor is again rife that Premier McBride is to be offered a seat in the Federal Cabinet. Rumor even goes further. It says that iill arrangements have been made for Premier McBride's acceptance of the post, and names the reward that Mr. Stevens, the member- elect for Vancouver, is to receive for vacating his seat to allow Mr. McBride to enter the Ottawa House. It looks as if British Columbia is soon to lose her "picturesque Premier." Many observers thought that Mr. McBride had forfeited hi*- ehanee of entering the Federal Cabinet by declining to enter the Federal lists. Possibly in Mr. Borden's estimation, camion is esteemed a political virtue. Apparently Hon. Robert Rogers' stock did not go down at Ottawa as a consequence of his reconsidering his intention to contest the Winnipeg seat. That which is not considered a vice in the case of the Manitoba Mil ister of Public Works, might very well be considered a virtue in the case of the Premier of Briiish Columbia. Certainly the gods were on Mr. Borden's side, when Premier McBride announced that he would not enter ihe Federal fight. How different might have been the interpretation of the national turnover had Mr. McBride entered the field. Mr. McBride with his record for having changed the political complexion of Briiish Columbia would then have received most of the credit for the change in the political complexion of ihe l)iiminion. Fortune would have crowned his brows. The Premiership of Canada would have been his, and many a Conservative politician would have visited the woodshed a.nd kicked himself for not getting rid of Borden liefore. In these things the public judges unfairly. Men go to victory on the crest of the wave more frequently than by lighting and conquering the tide. Mr. McBride was Fortune's favorite when the popular wave threw him into the leadership of an almost solidly Conservative Legislature two years ago. Fortune gave him another and a greater chance iwo months ago but he did not take it. Premier McBride musi la- angry wiih himself now for not accepting her invitation, li is not likely that she will repeat it. Bui -ill lovers of justice must feel glad ihat ihe coquette hail to return and bestow her favors on Mr. Borden. It would have been tragic in its irony, if his fifteen years of toil and waiting had gone unrewarded, and the jade had gone off arm in arm to the altar wiih his younger, more picturesque but less deserving rival. If ilu- Fates have decreed ihat Richard McBride is i�� enter Federal l��.|i;ics, then it is fit and proper thai he enter as a subordinate to Mr. Borden, who has fully earned his title to the Premiership. Whether Mr. McBride will consent io accept a portfolio under Mr. Borden remains to be seen. The reports from Victoria .-.i .1 Vancouvi r suggest that he is quite willing if ihe offer is made. NOTES AND COMMENTS As an example of patriotism grown Utile, nulling could be more paltry than Alderman Clayton's objection on patriotic grounds io loaning the city's Union Jack for lhe McTavi-h-Craig nuptials.

While I believe In reciprocity and look upon it as a priceless boon, yet il is something We have P.Ol hitherto been enjoying and the Conservatives may give us something sub* tantial as a substitute, Mr. Borden holds a repoutation for honesty and fair-niindendess, and in- \ be depended upon io do his utmost to govern our country wisely. I. is very rate ih the history of a. nation that any man or set of men is indispensable to iis existence or progress in the sense thai the elder Pitt was, and ii is probable ihat in the immediate future, things will go along very much tlie same as in the past. Mr. Borden may revise the tariff, thereby approaching the benefits which we would have received under rcciprociiy. I look to see the Grand Trunk Pacific railway completed without any unnecessary delay, and.when the time comes to ship fresh lish and other commodities across the continent from Prince Rupert, the Americans may have thrown off the duty against Canadian fish, or else special bonding privileges may be granted io enable fish to be shipped from this port. 1 believe there is no doubt whatever but that thc lish caught in these northern waters will be shipped from Prince Rupert. I am less sanguine as to the iffect of the quietus to reciprocity upon, the Alaskan trade, but it will be some time before we are in a position to go after that trade, and then conditions may have adjusted iheinselves. We have been looking at conditions as they arc, but we must remember that this vote does not conclude our trade arrangements with the l'nited States. There is such a thing as evolution in the world of politics just as real as in the organic world. To those who have thoughl differently from me upon the question of reciprocity, I wish to say thai I do not decry their victory nor resent their celebrations or songs of triumph. They have won a grcat victory and I am pleased to see thai they appreciate it. Power stands for opportunity and is to be desired, but it also involves responsibility. It is up to them to legislate for and administer this greatest of youthful countries with wisdom and integrity, and 1 wish them Cod speed, for so long ; B the country is well and progressively governed, the cold shades of opposition have r.o horrors for me. What makes our people happy and contented, pleases me: what makes our country prosperous, benefits mej what makes our country great, makes me prouder to be a Canadian. Theirs is the task, be unto them the wisdom .iii courage. For the grand old man who steps from the wheel of stale, I have nothing but the most sympathetic feelings and highest admiration. He has proved himself to be a gre; t Canadian; a broad minded and -ii cere statesman; wise and progressive in policy, fearless in pursuit of it; firm aud upright in administration; mighty in honesty of purpose aid nobility of soul; dean and wholesome in private life; get- It* .-nl considerate in conduct; adorned ard embellishtd with dignity and culture: ripened and mellowed by time���he leaves the wheel, but hi- white plume is untarnished, his glory undimmed. our love stronger���God bless Sir Wilfrid Li uriir.

Defence of the Horrigan Price for Lifting Plankway in Last Night's Council Meeting. Difficult Situation. A letter by City Solicitor Piters referring to the Horrigan contract for grading Third avenue, ard the price of |2 per foot for raisirg ard replacing plankway was read ai last right's council. The price wa.s defended on ihe ground that all the rest of the contract was priced lower than the other offers, and the council in accepting Hor- rigan's offer took the lowest all over bid and so acted for the city's besl interests. Alderman Smith defended the price on the ground that ihe work was exceptionally exacting, the plankway having to be liftetl back ar.d forward to suit traffic. Horrigan's rock prices were lower than those of his competitors' and he has done the work well and made money on it because he was when in working shape, one of the best rock men in the country. Alderman Smith pointed out that for ;he press to suggest that 18000 dollars of city money had been thrown away on this job mm inaccurate since the cost of the work in ar.y case no matter by whom done ought to be deducted, and he maintained that considering ihe difficulty of the position in that congested district, it was not over charged work anyway.

After hearing today's evidence the case was adjourned the Magistrate saying that he wanted to know more about someone who is supposed to have conic up behind Camozzi and given him a black eye. A prominent solicitor who was in court is saitl to have re* marked: "Curious that a man coming up from behind should manage to give another a black eye." But this remains to be elucidated.
