He is quite within the truth in saying what he did, and lie can rest assured that the electors of the province will not only votn confidence in Sir John whenever called upon, but that tho same confidence will be extended to himself so long as he pursues his present course.—Winnipeg Times, {Tory), The new aqueduct with wliich New York hopes to supply itself with water is tho biggest thing that city has yet undertaken. It will cost not less than $25,000,000, and is an enterprise of truly gigantic proportions. The calculation is to provide facilities for delivering 500,- 000,000 gallons of water daily from a point some forty miles away. Practically tlie new aqueduct will- be an enormous tunnel longer than the combined lengths of the three greatest tunnels in Europe—the St. Gothard, the Mount Oenis, and the Arlberg. The greater part of it will be excavated through solid rock at an average deptli of 220 feet below the ground surface, In somt places it will be 500 feet below. Instead of crossing the Harlem river on a bridge as the present aqueduct does, it will be cut through under the river,—Toronto Globe. The British Columbian. VOLUME 27 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0„ WEDNESDAY, JANUARY H, 1885. NUMBER 4 When wero times worse in Canada than at present 1 When were tliere more idle men and closed workshops ! But the end is not yot. Depression is closing in and settling down upon us. Never in the'his- tory of Canada has a more bountiful ■ harvest been reaped than during tho present year; yet the farmers were never more poorly remunerated for their labor. When was the price of wheat as low before the adoption of "protection" as it now is? When were farmers as nearly in a state of actual want—unable to pay their bills, scarcely able to procure even necessaries'! Is this a time to mnke a mock of their distress by asserting that the "National Policy," whicli was to have provided them with an abundant "homo market," which wns to have made them prosperous and happy, "has not failed in any particular?" Is this a time to insult the intelligent but hungry working- men of tho Dominion who were to have been supplied with work in abundance at good wages, but who aro now being turned out of employment by hundreds daily, at the Ihj- ginning of what promises to be oue of the hardest winters the Dominion has ever experienced?— Whmipey Free Press, and attractive one, and the efforts made to secure its perfect freedom to the commerce of the world aro worthy of till commendation. It is to be hoped that France and Portugal will be too wise and too prudent to attempt to throw any obstacles iu the way of a peaceful and universally satisfactouy arrangement Such as the Berlin Conference has indicated. To make a nlgion of such vast extent and Buch' mighty capabilities, the exclusive preserve of ono or two European nations would be at once monstrous and intolerable. It is a territory of, it is supposed, double the extent of continental Europe, of unexampled fertility and with swarnijn^popula- tions, -The Berlin \ Conference marks oft' all this vast region for free trade' to all nations on equal terms. All explorers, merchants, philanthropists, and tlie missionaries of all countries will be equally free, with, of course, the consent of the native governments, to enter any part of that region and dwell or trade there. All flags will have free access to its coasts, and the trade of all nations will be put on exactly equal footing. Tliis is the reasonable and right course, and the result of the arrangement if carried out honestly, fairly, and in a proper Bpirit will be a degree of prosperity the. world has rarely seen. The Congo falls into tho Atlantic by one mouth seven miles in width and of unknown depth. Steamers drawing fifteen feet of water or more can go up the river moro than a hundred miles. Then falls nnd rapids have to be passed by railroad, and beyond there is unbroken navigation for thousands of miles.

Conspicuous among the trophies are the mimic "lyre bird" and tiger's head taken from Tippoo Sahib eighty odd years ago, and presented to Her Majesty's grandfather, King Geortre III, The lyre bird's body and tail are composed of solid gold, richly studded with brilliants, rubies, emeralds aud pearls. As lie stands with all his jewelled pride, one of tlie costliest follies ever devised to gratify the whim of a lavish Oriental potentate, he represents a perpetual income of £1,500 a year, calculated at live per cent upon his intrinsic worth.' Tho tiger's hend once served Hyder Ali's masterful son as a footstool. It is a life-size model, fashioned in solid silver, richly gilt, its eyos of rook crystal, and its tongue of pure gold,' Like the lyre bird, ifc fell into the hands of the British at the storming of Seringapatam, wliere Tippoo himself, its valorous owner, met his death; and oa a brilliant memorial of our Indian conquests it could uot he better bestowed than in entertaining the banqueting hall of Hin- dostnn's first Empress.— The Week, Mr. H. M. Stanley, the distinguished African traveller, delivered on the 6th December tho inaugural address of the newly-instituted Scottish Geological Society, Of course his subject was Africa, and more especially the Congo region. The account lie gives of the basin of that magilicent river is a very glowing True Heroism. Tho following story ia told in tho Detroit Free Press, of Louis Abmir, a man who served as a private in a Michigan cavalry company: "At tha battle of Ti-cvilinn's Station ho was taken prisoner, anil beforo his release lie was oontined in five different prisnii-putiB and twu jails. Wo have all rend of tho horrors |imoi)ors underwent iu tho military prisons of tho South, but '(id pen has over yet given an adequate idea of the terrible privations they wero obliged to fncn. The food ami quarters bave boon described in fitting terms, but words cmtuot portray the mental torture, the feeling of despondency that booh boenme utter dospair. That alone carried thousands to their graves. Imagine, then, the heroism of the self-sncrilicing act of tliis rough and uneducated man! Positively, I cannot look upon him without a feeling of awe coming over me. 'I cannot give you tlio dato aud it is of no consequence, for heroic deeds like thia Are not remembered by dates. Anyway, whilo he was in Millort prison an exchange of sixty prisoners was to be made. Tlie officer of the day told off sixty names at tbe door ot tho pon, but for some reason, probably because he was too ill, or perhaps dead, ono man did not come forth. At that moment Louia, who had been Bent out after fuel, undor guard, of course, camo through tha gate pushing a wheelbarrow loaded with wood. '"Hero, Louig, here's a chance for you. We want sixty mon to go North and are short oue. Jump into the ranks hero!' exclaimed tho officer. " 'To be oxchitnged ?' nsked Louis, trembling more than he did when under fire. '"Yes. . Bo quick!' " 'Then take Hank. Ho's sick, and will die if ho remains here,' and Louis darted into the hospital ward. Hank had a pair of pantaloons and shoes, but no coat or hat. Louis pulled off his, put thom upon Hank, and brought him out, weak and tottering. As Hank tiled out of the »ato and once moro breathed ,the air of freedom, Louis, hat hiss and coatl'ess, took hold of tho handles of his wheelbarrow and started for another load of wood. "Can mortal mind conccivo of such an net? It cost him seven mouths of a living death, aud all for a man with whom he wns not oven intimately acquainted. "And now for the other side of tho picture. Ever sinco tho oIobo of the war, until a few months ago, when Hank died, these two men have lived right horo in Wayne County, Hank with a homo and family, Louis with neither; have met occasionally, but at no time did Hank ever refer to tlio net in Millen prison that set lum free and saved his life; never invited him to his home; nover alluded to the past, or addressed his savior other than as it mete acquaintance. On his deathbed, howevor, ho told tho story, and asked his relatives, if they ever had an opportunity; to befriend Louis, for his sake. It waa tardy acknowledgment of one of tho noblest acts the world hns ever kuowu." . Why Ills Salary Was Short. A few days ago a gentleman riding down on tho train with Bishop Whitaker asked if tho statement mado iu tho Argonaut that the Episcopalians of California owed .Bishop Kip about 860,000 waB true. The Bishop said ho did not think the amount was over 612,000. "How came that much to be owod?" asked tho quizzical layman. "Well," replied the Bishop, "I think I can oxplam tho matter. You soo, Bishop Kip is also rector of tho Church of tho Advent. The Parish thought tho Bishop's salary from the diocese of California was enough to keep him in good style, so the Parish of tlie Advent paid him nothing; theu tho diocese of California thought that his salary as rector of the Church of tho Advent was enough without any diocesan assistance, bo they paid him nothing, and of courso betweon tho two his salary, fell short."

T0WNSEM07 PROPRIETOR. 1>IJI.I LAH Llne.r8la(esloP»rlMMe led away from a reasonable regard for the public good by any schemes looking to sectional or personal advantage. There are a number of our citizens interested in Port Moody and Coal Harbor. Tliere nre members of the council who hold considerable property at these places. Now, in considering the question of railway connection, it is to be hoped the advantage of either of these places will bo absolutely eliminated. As ratepayers it docs not become us to concern ourselves whether a railway from this city will benefit Port Moody or Coal Harbor: we must confine ourselves to the phase of the question which touches this eity alone, and it is of the first importance, therefore, that we should ascertain the most judicious and economical scheme for connecting this city by railway witli tlie 0. P. R.. To that phase of tbe railway question the council should address itself with energy anil without delay. It was hinted iu certain quarters that opposition to the present council and its policy would be brought out in force. The organ which some years ago confessed its inability to "make water run up hill" pretended that it and its friends had power enough to defeat both the council and the government, and . that this power would bo exercised at the proper moment The proper moment for such a movement is passed, and there has been no sound from this very small opposition. There was not even a candidate brought forward by either the organ or its friends. Discretion is said to be the bettor part of valor, and somo people have clearness of perception enough to distinguish where the danger signals are held out. Wc are inclined to think that an attempt to defeat the government at present would meet with quite ns little success. A Golden Opinion,—-Mrs. Win. Allen. ol Acton. decUici that lluj-yard'tt Yellow Oil li the best household remedy for coughs, croup, sore throat, burns, soalds and other painful complaints. Hat- opin- UnUweUTmintUd. More Evidence. Ever since the visit of Mr. Van Horne to this city, and the inter- iew witli a deputation of our citizens, Tin" Columhian has asserted that the question of terminus has been virtually settled, and that the road would go to Coal Harbor or English Bay. Persons interested in Port Moody have stoutly resisted and coinbatted that view, and the most absurd incidents and arguments have been put forward, either ignoranfcly or foolishly, for the purpose of misleading public opinion: Among tliese were the letters and telegrams received from Ottawa by Senator Mclnnes, and paraded beforo the public as proof that tbe terminus would remain at Port Moody "for all time to come." We do not know whether Senator Mclnnes himself made use of these despatches for booming purposes, but it is scarcely possible to imagine that be approved of tbe uso made of them by others. The utterances of Mr. Van Horne oil the question of terminus were both full and frank, and n fair report of them appeared in Tun Columbian at the time. The correctness of tbis report has been culled in question by persons wbo are desirous that it should not prove correct, and Mr. Van Horne himself has been freely criticised and his utterances held up to discredit. While we hnve firmly refused to boom the new terminus, we have felt it our duty to the public to make known whatever facts relating to the question seemed to us important and authentic. Tiik Col- rMiiiA.v has always steadily refused to become the organ of Port Moody property owners, and it has likewise refused to become the organ of Coal Harbor. It is the organ of the people, and. as such is bound to supply the people with such facts relating to the public interest ns come to its knowledge. It will be admitted that such developments as havo been made known since Mr. Van Home's visit have tended to confirm tho correctness of bis-utterances. Major Rogers is at present making a survey of the extension to Coal Harbor; tbe president of tbe syndicate has made a trip to England, in com puny with Sir John Macdonald, for the purposo of arranging for a lino of steamers between Burrard inlet and trans-Pacific ports; the oflicers of tho syndicate in the east, and many of the leading newspapers, bave freely given out that the terminus had been changed to. Coal Harbor; Mr. Henry Beatty and Mr, L. A. Hamilton are now in this province iu the interest of the syndicate, the former to superintend tbe wharf and harbor works necessary for tbe accommodation of tho foreign lines, tlio latter to lay out tbe new terminal city at Coal Harbor; the speech from the throne, delivered at Victoria last Monday, also mentions other facts which.look in tbo same direction. The accumulation of evidence, if accumulation were needed, must be sufficient to convince the most skeptical that Mr, Van Home knew what ho was talking about, and that he was correctly reported. Very lately Mr, Drinkwater, secretary of tbe syndicate, made some statements to an eastern paper confirming tbe change of terminus. Commenting upon tbis tbe Victoria Times says: "Tho positive and definite statement of Mr. Drinkwater as to the selection of Coal Harbor as tlie final terminus of the railway confirms all that has previously appeared in these columns on this subject, and it is difficult to understand why there should lie any longer doubt iu any one's mind. However, as the house will meet on Monday the negotiations between the O.P.R. directors and the government will soon lie published, and all uncertainty will be dispelled. The government, through tlieir organs, and the Times, have already pretty- fully indicated the nature of the arrangement entered into. Jt is generally known that the remainder of tho Granville Resorvo and a block of land on False Creek, between lots 200 A and 192, have lieen conveyed to tbe syndicate, who are pledged to commence construction of permanent works, such as wharfs, round house, work shops, stations, offices, kc, immediately, and to finish tho railway within a year. We scarcely need say.that we find much to condemn in the general policy of the government, but claiming to be an independent paper wo ara ready to approve where measures are in tbo interests of the country. There can be no doubt of the wisdom of the government in ending uncertainty in this matter of the terminus. Capital can now find an opening, and the indications are that large investments will be made by eastern mon, Vast works to bo proceeded with will givo employment to a very large number of mechanics and laborers, and Victoria will, in the large expenditure in her immediate neighborhood, have a greatly in creased trade. The remaining government lands tn the vicinity are so much enhanced in value that the province will for some year* have an ample revenue \o use in developing our industries. Not for a moment pretending to give the government the whole credit, wo may fairly look forward to an era of prosperity greater than any hitherto experienced in this province." If these extensive works are to bring such benefits to IViotoria because of its proximity, - surely this city, which regards Vancouver as a sort of suburb, will be benefited vastly more. Wo have already pointed out the great advantages to the province of having doubts respecting the situation of the terminus fully removed. While uncertainty existed people were afraid to invest, and tbe expected provincial boom was kept off. When people become convinced that the question of terminus has been settled, they will go forward with confidence to develop permanent industries, and tbe impulse will bo felt throughout the wholo proviftce. When tho papers come down to tbe provincial house we shall tako tho opportunity of laying them before our readers. If you want n neat calendar for 1885, cull ut T. II.

The exports from British Columbia to Sau Francisco for the eight mouths of 1884 amounted to §1,180,955, being an increaso of §488,221 |over the same months of last year. Commutation Asked Foil—The Ottawa Sun Bays : " A petition is lo be ptsnouted to the Governor-General asking that tho death sentence passed upon Charles Rogers, for murdering a brother guard named Sterry, in the New Westminster (B.C.) Ponitentiary, be commuted to imprisonment fur lifo. Rogers was sentenced to be hanged on the 28th of January, Thoso who havo taken the matter up state that the evidence given nt the trial showed that the crime was uot premeditated, but was the ootburst of sudden auger." It seems to us tho ground of this application is extremely doubtful. A Serious Loss.—A dispatch from Montreal, dated last Monday, says :— Tlio head office of the Hudson Bay Co. in tins city lias received alarming intelligence concerning the safety or one of their finest vessels, tho Prince of Wales, homeward bound, with a cargo of furs, The estimated loss is nearly half a million dollars-. The vessel was frozen iu in Hudson's Bay, and it feared she and a portion of tho crow are lost. A portion of the crow reached tho mainland and were rescued ■ aftor being nearly starved and frozen to death. An expedition has been organized to search the vessel by sledges. Shiitino Items.—On Sunday afternoon tho steamer Princess Louise ar-. rived from Victoria with mails, passengers and frujght.

Tho Louise left for Victoria Monday morning with IU hend of cattle. At noon Monday the steamer Dunsmuir arrivod, and yusterdity afternoon the Louise came up from Victoria. ^—- TiikO. P. R. St.LawrenoeBridois. —The proposed new Canadian Pacific Railway bridge at Lachino, the plan of which is undor the consideration of the Government Depart in ent nt Ottawa, will consist of twelve apaus, eight of which will be two hundred nnd forty- two feet, two will be two hundred nnd seventy, and thu remaining two four hundred nnd eight feot each, making a total of threo thousand and three hundred feet. The greater part of the bridgo will consist of dock trusses, with the exception of the channel spans, which will be built with lattice aides, tliere by giving n view of the celebrated rapids, which commence at tho side of the bridge. Tho foundation is solid rock. Tho cost will not exceed two nud a half millions. Rapid Construction.—Mr. W. 0. Van Horne, Vice-President and General Manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway, told a reporter of tho Globe that tho work along tho wholo lino was proceoding vory rapidly. All tho engineering difficulties had been overcome, and tho line from Montreal to the Selkirk mountains wpojd bo, pom- pleted in eighty-live days fronf 'Dec. loth. By thia calculation tho road will be opened on Tuesday, the LOth-of March noxt. When tho line is opened, ho continued, those gentlemen who have invented nll sorts of imaginary engineering difficulties would havo nn opportunity, if they chose to avail thorn- selves of it, to travel nlong tho wholo lino by rail nnd examine for themselves, always provided that they paid thoir fare. Thero was now no hitch any where all along the mountains, and tho construction gimys wore just entering the Selkirk range, and work was now going on on all the uncompleted sections of the road, and was proceeding satisfactorily. Dominion Liquor license. THE BILL DECLARED RAD! By Telegraph. ( Ottawa, Jan. 12. — Tho supreme court to-day Rave judgment in the liquor licenso case, holding tho net-passed by tho Dominion parliament known as the McCarthy Act as' ultra vires, excopt in so far as licensing vessels and wholesale licenses. The privy council of England hns already decided that thu right of regulating thu liquor traffic rested iu tho provincial governments.

A WHOLE COUNCIL BY ACCLAMATION, , The excitement caused by tho city election on Monday was of the suppressed sort, and did not carry the electors beyond the bounds of prudence. Captain Robinson, as returning officer, sat at tho Court House from 12 till 2 o'clock, and when the hour for receiving nominations had been reached the result was as follows : -mayor : / Robert Dickinson, re-elected by nc- clnmation, Mayorof New Westminster for the eighth time. councillor** : St. George's Ward.—R.

William McColl, Chief Engineer ; John Walsh, Assistant Engineer. After nominations had closed, Mr. Hunter withdrew his nomination papers, aud thus removed the only ground for a contest, and tho whole council was elected hy acclamation. Tlm mayor elect, who was present, expressed his hearty thanks to the ratepayers for this renewed expression of approval and confidence. He had uo doubt they had elected him for a reason, and ho believed that reason was the fact that he had always endeavored to promote the interests of the city. Hia own interests were altogether in New Westminster, and he would always bo glad to do nll he could to forWard the best interests of the place. During the year there would bo some important matters placed bo- fore-ptho council for its consideration. Chief among these was the subject of railway connection. For the past few weeks wo had had some experience of tho embarrassment arising from having no railway connection, nnd this condition of things would exist until that connection was secured. Ho repeated his thanks for the honor of being (.gain elected mayor of tho city. • From Kootenay. Mr. Gnlbrailh, M. P. P. for Kootenay, arrived at Victoria a few days ago, and furnished the following items to tho Colonist: The out-put of the mines has been very favorable for the past season. The lower Kootenay lake section is creating a great deal of interest on account of recent discoveries of quartz of rich quality. A syndicate of New York capitalists has been formed, under tho name of the New Haven Smelting Co,, whu are already engaged in building a road to Bonner's Ferry, I. T., with Mud Siough on tho Northern Pacific. Tho manager, Dr. Hendricks, as Boon ns the road is completed,'intends bringing in a saw mill and smelter to tho works at the lake, and has purchased in Portland the machinory for a steamer, whioh he intends building, to bo used on Kootonay river, between Bonner's Ferry and the mines. Recent assays show that the mines on the lower Kootenay nro much mure valuable than at first supposed, and Mr. Galbraith brings with. hiin a large number of rich samples nf the ore. Travelling was very unpleasant, owing to a heavy fall of snow along the Moy- end trail. Before leaving Portland Mr. Galbraith heard of tho arrival of Mr. Burdick, of St. Paul, Minu., who came to mako arrangements regarding supplies for tlie Canadian Pacifio Railroad, to be shipped via Colville, W.T., early in tho spring. When Mr. Galbraith left Kootenay tho line had got ns far us the east crossing of the Columbia, which was supposed to bo the end of the mountain section. Thoro was a great demand for land in Kootonay distriot and quito a number of vory desirable settlers hnd located during the past season. Among others, Lieut. Col. James Baker hnd taken up 7,000 acres at Skoocmn Chuck- for the purposo of engaging extensively in dairy and stock farming. Captain E. Parker has taken n location at Columbia Lakes, which is now called Windermere. Tho want of a supremo court j udge has been much felt during the past season. About eleven prisoners were awaiting trial when Mr, Galbraith left. He thinks the government ahould make provision to supply this want at the coming session. The business of the district hoa been large for the past sen- son, and a great increaso is anticipated during the present year. Tho health of tho district was also good. It is wise to provide against emergencies that are liable to arise in every family.' A cold may bo a dangerous thing, or not, depending upon the means at hand to combat it.

By Telegraph. Victoria, Jan. 12.—Tho third session of the fourth parliament of British .Columbia opened this afternoon with the usual ceremonies. The following is the Iiout. •governor's speech Mr. Spbakbk andQentlemknoftur Leuislati'.'k As&hmbi-Y,—In meeting you at the beginning of another session of the legislature of tho province I have much pleasure itr congratulating you upon tho genoral prosperity of the country, and upon the hopefulness with whioh tho future is viewed by nll classes of the community. Construction of the Canadian Pacitio Railway within tho provinco hns beeu energetically carried on, nml in consequence trade hns beeu stimulated nnd extensive settlement within the various districts on the mainland has taken [ilace. It will bo satisfactory to you to sarn that it is confidently anticipated that the completed road will spaii the continent in a continuous Hue from tfio Atlantic to the Pacific before the close of tho presont year. The survey of tho location of tho Island railway has been complete*;!. A contract for the construction of ono section of tlie road has been let, and the work of clearing tho right of way and [railing Hob made satisfactory progress. Jliu opening of the lands and the construction of the railway have caused settlement ou tho Island to proceed with unprecedented activity. Tho important wurk of completing thu construction of tho Ksqwimalt graving dock having l>oon undertaken hy the Dominion government, a now contract has been mado with a responsible linn, and it. Is expeoted that work will now lm ronsly proceeded with and that it ho completed within reasonable time. It has become apparent that the deck has been projoctcd ou a scale unequal to the requirements of Her Majesty's first-class ironclads of thu present iky, and I have thought It requisite to communicate with the govemment at Ottawa with the view of inducing that government to enlarge tho dock to the capacity of taking in the largest Bhips whioh may possibly repair' to these waters, provided it can T»e done without delaying the work. My attention having been called to the vague and undefined character of the eastern boundary of the province, and the necessity, more particularly in the, vicinity of the line of railway, where thousands of men had to come into our country, of determining the limits of tho jurisdiction of tlie provincial authorities iu that direction, I deemed it expedient to authorize the chief commissioner of lands and works of the province to proceed to Ottawa to confer with tho Dominion government, with tho view of having' the boundary defined tu auch a maimer that our laws might be properly enforced and revenues collected. Pending the determination of the question by tho Imperial authorities, to whom jt was agreed to refer the matter, a temporary provisional boundary was fixed upon by agreement and confirmed by an aet passed hy the parliament of Canada at its last session. The chief commissioner was also instructed by mo to urge upon the Dominion government the absolute necessity of either recognizing the right of the province to legislate with a view of chocking the Increase of Cliiiese iu our midst, or, failing that, to induce the Dominion govornment to substitute effective federal legislation calculated to remedy the evil complained of. The unsatisfactory condition of the administration of Indian affairs in tbe provinco and other Important matters wore entrusted to tho chief commissioner to discuss with the federal government at Ottawa, and as one result a stipendiary magistrate has been appointed to Metlakatlah hy the provincial government whose salary and expenses are to be paid by tho Dominion. AU tbe papera connected with the mission will be laid before you. Instead of sustaining the action of the provincial government and legislature and that of tho members of British Col* umbia in the fedoral parliament on the subject of the prohibition of Chinese im* migration, the Dominion government np- Kiinted a, commission composed of the ou. Mr. Chapleau, socretary of state for the Dominion, and tho Hon. Mr. Justice Gray, of this province, to enquire into and report upon tlie Chinese question. Tlie enquiry did not seem to be bo thorough as, if undertaken at all, tho importance of the subjeot fairly demanded that it should have been. It is to be hoped, however, hurried and imperfect as the enquiry iu this province was, sufficient information has beeu obtained by the commissioners to induce thein to roport to the federal government tho urgent need of restrictive legislation being undertaken during the ensuing session of the Dominion parliament. It will he for you i to oouaider whether, in viow of the Chinese immigration aet passed lost session having been disallowed by the Dominion government, it is advisable to repeat legislation on the subjeot during, the present session. Following tho official announcement that Port Moody, the first tidal water reached by tho Canadian Pacific Railway at its western end, had beon adopted aa the terminus of the road, ao far as the government was concerned, a demand was made on behalf of the province for the laud wost of that point, which had been conditionally coveyed to Canada by statute in 1890, under the provisions of the terms of union. Tho claim of the province having been conceded, the agricultural portion of the tract of land of which possession had been resumed was opened to sale and settlement and a great number of families found at once eligible homes in that fertile portion of New Westminster district lying between the Nortii arm of Fraser river and the qoim- dary Huo, Under application of the Canadian Pacific Hallway syndicate, negotiations were undertaken with a view of from Port Moody to Coal Harbor nnd Knglish Bay. The general manager of the railway company visited tho provinco early iu the summer with the object of locating tho terminus, and after having personally inspected the whole of Burrard Inlet ami English Bay and the lands adjacent thereto, lie expressed a wish to extend the railway line seaward to Coal Harbor und Knglish Bay ou condition of a grant of laud being mado to the com- Eany for n terminus site. Believing it to e in the interest of the country that the additional section of railway should he built, and recognizing tho fact that tho public lauds remaining in the hands ol thu government would be immensely enhanced in value, and that large revenues could bo derived therefrom, an agreement wns entered iuto with' the syndicate to grant, upon specified conditions, an area of land at Coal Harbor and English Bay for terminal purposes, and in aid of the construction of the road, which will be submitted for your approval, Tho papera relating to this aubject will ho kid boforo you. I have made strong representations to the Dominion government upou tho subject of the rectification of the Alaskan boundary of British Columbia. Tho question is one of great importance. The rights and interests of the province and the Dominion aro alike seriously involved. I have reason to believe that the Dominion government wilt now tako the necessary steps to secure to the province the valuablo strip of country embracing an area oi millions of acres along the northwest const of British Columbia to which this country is undor tho treaty of 1825 clearly entitled, bnt which is nevertheless claimed by tho United States of America, Papers upon the subject will be submitted to you. Immigration into this province has continued during the past year, and, in consequence, our population has been increased hy many thousands. The agricultural districts on both mainland aud island havo especially received large additions to tho numbor of settlers located in them. A hand-book of the province, prepared by the provincial government, has been translated at Ottawa into the principal European languages, n large edition of which has beeu printed under authority nf tho Dominion govornmont ami circulated in the several European states through the agency of Dominion immigration officers stationed abroad. 1 regret that the federal government hus not yot recognized the justice of the claim of this provinco to compensation for iioii-pnrticipntion in tho privileges enjoyed by the other provinces of tho Dominion under tho Washington treaty. I have made renewed applications for a share of tho Halifax fishery award; and in viow of the expected termination of the Washington treaty, notice of which has beeu given, 1 hnvo requested that before any new iiternntioual arrangement shall bo concluded affecting the trade of this provinco the government here may ho consulted in such a mniiuer as may be necessary to secure that the interests of British Columbia shnll not be overlooked. So far as is shown by returns which have heen receivcd,from the various district!* whore mining is carried on, there has boen a satisfactory increase in the fold product of thu province for the year. t is gratifying to know thnt the Cann- dinu Pacific Hallway, running ns it do. s through an undoubtedly Hob mineral country in Kootenny district between tho Kooky Mountains and Englc Pass, will probably opon up extensive mining fields nud give profitable employment to a large population. The many rich mines of ate already discovered, and which have been located by various milling companies on the .vest shore of Kootenay lnke, give fair promise of becoming productive iu tho near future, nud it is probable that such a population will bo at*. traded to that pnrt of tho province as will contribute verv materially to the wealth of the country and to the development of trade with other portions of British Columbia. I have caused an exploration of Queen Charlotto Islands to be made, a report of which will be submitted for your information. Tho coal mines of the country have been actively worked, aud exports have beeii largely in excess of thoso of any former year. The lumber trade has beon satisfactory, the home demand having greatly increased, whilo the shipments to foreign markets show no diminution. In accordance with the desire expressed by you at your last session that evory constitutional means should Ik adopted to uphold the exclusive right of tho province to legislate in respeot of the liquor traffic, I caused yonr views to lie represented by counsel before the supreme court of Canada upon the argument before that tribunal as to the validitv of the Dominion liquor license acts. The decision has uot yet been rendered, but may be expected .at an early date, I deeply regret that for some time past there has existed nt Metlakatlah a disquietude amongst the Indians. With tne viow of endeavoring to ascertain tho causes of discontent I appointed, towards the closo of Inst year, a commission of enquiry. Tho commissioners havo made their roport which, together with tho evidence adduced, will bo kid beforo you. I invito your earnest attention to these documents because the subject is one seriouBly affecting peuce and order upon the north west coast aud the responsibilities which the dominion government assumed under the terms of union. * In conformity with your wishis a land registry office has boon, established at Xew Westminster, and proves a great 'convenience to the people of that district, I invite your consideration as to the repealing of the Jurors aet so far as relates to the selecting of jurors at places other thau the cities of Victoria, New Westminster and Nanaimo, as the working out of the system haa been found inconvenient in outlying districts owing to the scattered nature of the population. It will also he necessary to alter some of tiie dates and places of courts of assize by reason of railway construction having afforded more rapid means of transit, and because population upon the mainland has in some instances found new centres. A bill relating to the practice and procedure of county courts will be submitted to you, its object being the embracing in ono statute of a code of procedure at length. Tho erection of a new gaol in the oity of Victoria demands your attention. A measure will be submitted for your consideration for the regulation of the estates of decease! persons, and to equalize tlie duties thereon. Extensive public works have been executed iu the various districts of the province during the year. The addition and improvements to the asylum for the insane at Now Westminster have been completed and that institution, now under the management of a resident physician, is much more calculated to accom- {dish the objeot for which it was estab- ished— the care and cure of those of our fellow creatures wbo are afflicted with disorders of tiio mind. You will bo pleased to learn that the provincial revenue has been in excess of tbe estimates, mid shows a gratifying increase as compared with that of any previous year. The public accounts will be laid hefore you, and estimates for the next fiscal year will bo submitted for your approval. I leive you now to deliberate upon the several measures which will be brought before you with confidence that you will endeavor to promote such legislation us will icsult in the advancement and prosperity of the province. I pray that Providence will direct your efforts to a successful Issue. ations were undertaken with a view of ^•rjP^wjrpuimw-n, wu ior over twenty arranging the extension - of the .railway [years, .before his removal to.

KITS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WOffll. London*, Jan. 7.—The Cabinet Council to-day decided to extend the Bechuana frontier northward to the Lympopo river, the eastern frontier to include both banka of the Nish river.

One man was killed and several wounded. Sixty men hold tbe plateau two hours against 400 mon firing from the hush. When support arrived they stormed and burned Coostown. The navvies meanwhile murdered Herr i'au- tancus, the German agent. Subsequently the cruisers bombarded Hickorytown nnd no further outbreak occurred. Paris, Jan 12.—It is learned from semi-official sources that a serious revolt, headed by a brother of the King of Madagascar, has occurred. Tho revolutionists obtained complete possession of a number of French posts aud murdered the garrisons. It is suspected that Chinese intrigue is at the bottom of the uprising, and a general massacre of the French at the military posts is feared. The king telegraphed that he is powerless to resist the revolutionists, and a large force of French troops has been ordered in readiness to proceed from Sai- gen to aid the king in restoring order and punishing the offenders. Paris, Jan. 12.— Dissension has arisen in the French cabinet on the proposal of Gen.

High Class Organs, from the Toronto Globe. Perhaps the most artistic building on .the exhibition ground is the pavilion of the Dominion Organ and Piano Company of Bowmanville. It is moreover one of the most interesting to lovers of good music as being the location of a magnificent collection of instruments. . Tho erection of this building, which cost about $1,000, became necessary to meet the requirements of tho company, which had heen cramped for room in the Main Building, where it is impossible to judgo the merits of high-class instruments. The enterprise displayed by the Company in providing suitable quarters on the grounds for tlieir business has been rewarded. The krgo number of visitors who call, iuspect, aud purchase prows beyond question that the public approve the provision made for their convenience and comfort. Here a crowd may be seen listening to test performances on first-class instruments made by leading city and country musicians. Itight well do the Company deserve the success which they have achieved. The preseut prosperous concern liad, like all great institutions, its day of small things. It had its origin iu Bowmanville about fifteen years ago, the stock being at that time largely held by parties unacquainted with the business. About ten years go John Wesley,' the present secretary aud trcusurerj George Piggott, the manager of the manufacturing department; and W. S. Russell, superintendent of the tuning department, bought out the shareholders and assumed control. Since that date the business has beeu booming. A further stimulus was given tn the eoncern by the admission of a Detroit millionaire as a partner. Piano- making waa added to tho organ-manufacturing, aud the establishment was increased, until it now occupies n loading fosition among Canadian undertakings, t turns out about 200 organs and IiO Eiaiios per month. Theso are produced y 2o0 hands, who - receive in wages about 815,000 per month. The whole civilized world is the firm's market, and they have branches in London aud Manchester, England; Hamburg, Germany; Adelaide and Sydney, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; nnd St. Petersburg, Russia. The instruments on exhibition iu the pavilion are fair examples of the Company's workmanship. An upright piano of burr walnut is a splendid instrument. Of square pianos there arc two kinds, a square and a square grand. Tlie former is intended for standing against the side wall of a room, and is convenient for comparatively small apartments. The square grand is finished on all sides, presents a handsome appearance, aud is Biiited for occupying a prominent position in drawing or music room. These two instruments are of rosewood, with a superfine polish, secured by hand rubbing witli oil for hours. Tho touch is quick and easy, the tone brilliant and powerful. In musical quality and appearance they arc equal to the best American pianos. Tlie organs made* by the Company are known almost everywhere. They are manufactured in all styles, and ut all prices, ranging from $50 to $1,000. Many sample organs are shown in the pavilion. The largest organ which tho Company will exhibit, a double-bank pedal, is at prosont at the Dominion Exhibition, .Montreal, but is expected here nt tlie end of the week. It is arranged to be blown by Turk's water motor, which has boen placed iu position to await the arrival of the big instrument. The organs run through all grades, from the thousand dollar instrument down to the parlor favorite. The cases show wonderful variety. Many of these are of rare beauty and skilful workmanship. Tho case which secured for the Company a prize at the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia Is still much admired, and is largely manufactured. Cases for parlor organs are chaste in design and artistic in execution. Tho musicians who tested the organs affirmed that for sweet* ness of tone and elasticity of touch they are model instruments; while visitors can themselves judge ns to the beauty and style of the coses. [T. R. Pcarson k Co., New Westmin* ater, are sole agents for these fine Organs in British Columbia. Persons proposing to purchase should not fait to communicate with thein. Sample organs on view. Prices quite as low as those of Ontario. Address, T. R. Pearson k Co., Now Westminster, B. C] *no2(Jtc Business Djreiiy.

She caught up tbe words iu a disjointed way. What reason oould thero bo for uot wearing your mother's pearl's? She would havo gono and asked the question, direct of Catherine, but that just then her partner canto for lior, and for the rest of tho evening she had no time to consider any such question ; nor was it till she found herself, in the middle of the night, rumbling and jolting along tho ■ dark road that skirted theCnminun, by Hester's side, that this mysterious speech occurred to ber mind, She had beon talking of the advantage of being introduced ' by a troll-known pcrsott and thus put at onco " on a right foot- ini(." "You don't want Mint. You know everybody. You havo boen here nil your lifo," sho snid. "And I am suro you girt plenty of partners and lookod very nioo. And what a pretty nook- luce that is," said Emma, artlessly entering upon hor subject. "Aro they real ? Oh, you must not bo offended with mo, for I nover had any nice ornaments.

"I wonder what Cousin Catherine ■ could mean !" said Einmii, quito innocently. .

She said you shouldn't have them. I wonder what sbo meant? And Mr. Harry Vernon, that tall gentleman, ho Beemed to undestriud, for he got quito red and angry." "I oughtn't to wear thom—I shouldn't have thein !" Hester repeated, in a blaze uf wrath. Sho sat bolt upright, though she had been lying baok in her corner, indisposed for talk. "I dare say she didn't moan anything," said Emma, " only spito, us you nre on the other sido." Hosier did nut reply, but sho was roused out of her sleepiness ill a moment. She let Emmn prattle mi by her sido without response. As they drove past the Grange, a window was opened softly nnd somo one seemed lu look out. "Oil, I tvoudor if Ibat wns Mr. Edward ?" Briid Emma. I wonder why he stayed awny ? Is be after somo girl and doesn't want Cousin Catherine lokiiow? If it woro not that yuu would scarcely speak to each other when you met, I should say it was ynu, Hester !" "I wish," said Hestor, severely, "that you would go to sleep. At three o'clock in tho morning I never want to talk." , "Well, of course it may bo that, said Emma, somewhat ineonsequentlyi "but I never want to sloop when I have been enjoying myself. I want to have some one "iu tliu same room and to talk it all over—everything that has happened. Who was that man, do yuu know, who—" And here sho wont into details which Hester, routed and angry, paid no attention to. But Emma was not dependent ou replies. She went on asking questions, of which her companion took no notico, till the Ny suddenly stopped, with a great jarring and rattling, and the opening of two doors and glinunurs uf two smull lights in the profound dark gave note of watchers in the two houses, warned by tho slow rumbling of tlie ancient vehicle, and glad to bo released from thoir respective vigilB. In Hester's cuse it was Iter mother, wrapped in a warm dressing- gown, with a shawl ovor her head and two anxiouB eyos shining out with very warm reflection, over ber little candle, wbo received tho girl in her linery.with eager questions if she were very cold.^ if she wore tired and if all had gono nil' well. •'Run up-stairs, my darling, while I fasten the door," Mra. John snid. "Tliere is a nice tire, where you can warm yourself—nnd some tea." Iu thoso daya some people, especially wo- men, wore not afraid of being kept awake becuuso of a cup of tea. "Mamma," aaid Hoster, when her mother had followed ber up-stairs into her the old-faahiinied,low-roofed ruom, whicli the tire tilled with rosy light, "it appeal's that Catherino Vernon snys I ought not to worn' your penrls. Has ahe anything to du with your pearls ? Has sho any right I o interfere ?'' "My pearls !" cried Mrs. John, with a scream. " What could O'thdrine Vernon have to do with them ! I think, dear, that you must havo fallen asleep and beon dreaming. Where havo you seon Catherine Vernon, Hester? Sho gives us our bouse, dour; you know we are so fnr indebted to hor; but that is the only right she can have to interfere." "Hud she anything to do with my father ?" Hester nsked. She was reliovod from she dirl not know what indefinable terrors by the genuine aatuntsbincnt in her mother') face. "Anything to do with him ? Of course, she had a groat denl to do with him. Shu was hia first cousin. Hor father had brought him up. It was intended—but then bo mot tne," said the gentle little woman, not without a tone of satisfriction in the incoherent tale. "And she wns a kind of partner, and had a great deal to do with the bank. I never understood the rights ■ of it, Hester. I never had any head for business. Wait, darling, till I undo these buttons. .And now, my love, if yoo havo got warm, go to bed. My pearls I She muat mean, I suppose, that they ar. too good for you to wear, beoauie wo are poor. They were my mother1!,and her mother's, before thnt. I would like to know what Catherine Vernon oould have to say to them," Mil. John aaid, taking the pearla from her child's throat and holding thein up, all warm and alibiing, to the light, be- fore the deposited them in their care fully-padded bed. If thero wns anything iu tlio world that was hor individual property, and in which ni) one had nny share, it was her pearl.. Thoy had'always boen one of her household gods. Then are periods in life, and eepeolal- ly in the onrly nai't of it, when all existence gets, ns it wore, out of focua, and, iiiBtoad of some great and worthy centre, takes to circling round some point .of outwardly frivolous meaning, some littlo axis of society, entirely unfit to bo the turning point of even the sturdiest world of human concerns. Tins had como to ho the case with the Vernons ill tliose lingering weeks of winter juat bofore Christmas. That the young, gay, foolish—nuy, absurd— house on the hill inhabited by Algernon Morridow and bis wife should booonio to all of this important family the chiof place not only in Redborough but for a time in the world, was the moat curious fact imaginable, .but yet it waB so. To Edward it was the only ono place in the world whore bo was, aa he hoped, freo from observation and nble to do as lie pleased; which meruit,where he wns entirely free from Catherino, and need havo uo four of interruption from hor to his unmse- ment or his pleasure, or, if you liko it better, his love; to Hestor it was the placo wliero alio had been recognized as part possessor iu her own person, liko tlie others, of llio honors duo to her family, and whero tho homage to which a young woman sufficiently endowed was lirst given to hor; if itjtadja moro close attraction still iis tho placo where she met Edward, that was a dream as yet unacknowledged tn her own heart. Harry, on tho othor hand, hnd a doublo interest—neither of thom of a very cheerful kind—one of which wns the necessity of standing by his sislor, who, bis good sense told him, wna embarked in a very perilous way, arid whoso husband waBqttito incapable of controlling or guiding her erratic courso; and the othor was the painful fascination of watching Edward and Hester through all tho vicissitudes and quarroliugs nnd makings up—thu houi'B thoy would spend together, followed by other liours in which thoy would mutually sct-uwl nt each other and would not speak. Hnrry knew, poor fellow, by an instinct common to the rojocted, Unit tho qunrrele woro as ominous, or more so. than tho intimacy. Hester had never quarrelled with himself; they had been on the best terms, ulna, ns they woro now ! But Edwnrd she would puss with flushed cheek and shining oyo, ; she would atldreaa hint with haughty reluctniice whon it wns necessary to spenk to him, and mark her reluctniice with a decision which wna nover employed toward thoso for whom she cured nothing. Hurry's eyes wero opened, and ho understood tho duel betweon them. Tho only mis-, tako ho made was iu the belief tlint it had gone furthor thnn tbo preliminary stage. He could not believo it poaaible that no explanation had taken plnco between them. ' And nf nll peoplo to be interested in Ellen's silly parties, who should be seized with nn intense desire to know nil nbout them but Cntherino Vernon herself) She did know more nbout thom thnn nny ono else who was not present, nnd than a grerrt many who were present. Hor suspicions had been mused by various indications of something occult in Edward-'a mind. He was no lunger on his guard to the incredible extent which hnd been common with him; his mind wns agitated with new hopes and fears; tho chance of boing able, to bo altogether inile- pourlmrt nf Catherine bad mndo liim relax iii his caution; and there hud been momenta when, in all tho stir nud elation nf his new life, bo hnd been on the eve of disclosing everything, Habitual prudence had saved bim, but yet thoro had been something in his UBpect which had roused Catherine's suspicions; They bad been, as she thought, in such outiro sympathy before, that she was deeply affected by ihis feeling, which she could not explain tn horself—this seuae of being in sympathy tio longer. And it wiib all sinco Ellen'a absurd parties began, nnd ho began tu meet nt them Mof girl, born for the confusion of nll her plans, Catherine thought. Thoro were evon- iuga when the strongest temptation to order hor carriago instead of going to bed, and to go suddenly—unexpected - to Ellen's pnrty, and see with her own eyes what was going on, would come ovor her mind. But there was in Catherine's mind, along with her suspicions, that terror to havo them continued which so ofton goes willi love when it begins to tremble ill this wav. Hnd she gone, Edward would have declared cruiteniptuoilaly (within himself) thnt it wus nil of a piece with her usual watchfulness, nnd tho perfection of her system—nut being able to divine Unit Catherino would have given the wurld to find heraelf in the wrong, and shrank from proving herself to be in the right. In tho meun- tiino she wnB kopt informal ef what wns going on more nr less by vnriirua people, nml, nbovo all, byJSmmu Ash- ton, wlioso Information, though largely leavened by n grent deal about herself which did not much interest her hearer, also afforded revelations about other people, especially Hester. Emma had become a constant visitor at tho Grange. She was allowed to prattle for liours, and Catherine was always kind to her. Her insignificance, hor little egotisms, her straightforward aim at her own advancement, did not call forth the amused contempt of that observer of tho human comedy as they would have done in any other specimen.
