He is said to be enraged at the calmness witli which his final resignation has been regarded by the nation at large. The discovery that his personal importance at this era of European progress is not thought so great by others as by himself, has thrown him into a violent temper. It is stated that Bismarck has bought a villa in Switzerland and intends to reside outside of Germany. Appeal* to Stanford. San Fbancisco, March 25.—The executive committee of tlio Iron Moulders Union has sent a message to Senator Stanford, anticipating a reply to-morrow. Tlie committee when questioned as to the contents of the despatch, was very reticent, but it is rumored that it wbb sent in order to induce the Senator to use his influence on behalf of the strikers with the Union Iron Works, in which he said to have an interest. offer was refused and a charge of attempted bribery of an officer will he laid against the captain. The police report that the hunters and part of the crew were like madmen with the liquor they had drunk, and think it is fortunate tbe row was quelled without bloodshed, as there being a lot of firearms on board, the danger of a tragic ending to the drunken spree was not slight. Captain McLean bas been lodged in jail, and will await his trial on three or more charges. A Human Bat Killer. Ottawa, March 24.—An extraordinary and brutal spectacle was witnessed last night at Petrolia, Out., in a blacksmith's shop, when for a wager of $50 a man undertook to worry 20 rats with his teeth in two minutes. The rules were that the man should have Itis hands tied behind his back, and he had to worry the vermin, dog-like, with his teeth. The first rat was easily disposed of. The second caught his human adversary on his upper lip, hut was finally killed. The next ten rats were disposed of without apparent effort, but as the man went with deadly effect at the thirteenth rat it caught him in tbe eye. The rat was writhing and in great agony but would not let go. At last one spectator grabbed an axe handle and crushed the rat, aud thus delivered the man. His face was covered with blood and one eye was badly lacerated. The Great Race. London, March 24.—The interest in the Oxford-Cambridge boat race exceeds that of recent years and increases as the day approaches, owing to the fine work done by both clubs and the remarkably fast time made in their daily practice.

Vienna, March 24.—It is rumored here that Count Kalnoky, Imperial Prime Minister, has suggested a conference between the Emperor William, Emperor Francis Joseph and King Humbert as the only means of restoring tranquility in Italy and Austria concerning the situation arising from Bismarck's resignation. It is hoped that Emperor William will consent and bring with him General Caprivi, the new Chancellor. Contrary to published reports that no effort seemed to be made to induce Bismnrck to retain the Chancellorship, it is now said thousands of letters and telegrams have been received by him not only from Germany but from all parts of tho world, urging and beseeching him not to «gn. ^^I^mm.^mm^m OTTAWA NEWS.

An Bye for an Bye. San Fbancisco, March 25.—Ah Wy, a Chinese shoemaker, wns shot and probably fatally wounded, by Hoy Ah Ging, a highbinder, early this morning. The wounded man ia a friend of Lee Chuck, who killed a fellow countryman about four years ago, and on whose behulf bis society made such a desperato fight that they managed to get him off with murder in the second degree. The murdered man's friends worked as bard for the death penalty, and as the Chinese code demands "an eye for an eye" this morning's shooting was tlie result of their disappointment. Kaatern Advices-. San Fbancisco, March 25.—Tbe str.

The lunatics are neglected, aud often cruelly treated by the Chinese. The Rouque brothers, captured by bands near Haiphong, are about to be released on payment of $60,000 ransom. General Viscount Torio, of Japan, while at Kyoto on the 3rd Inst., refused an interview to two men. who thereupon attacked him with cudgels, inflicting slight wounds. The assailants were arrested and a small sword was found concealed on one of them. A fire which originated in the premises of a firewood and charcoal dealer, on the 20th ult., in the town of Asakasa, Japan, destroyed over fourteen bouses. There was one fatality and 15 firemen received injuries. The following day SO houses were destroyed iu Nihonmatser, and one was killed. Tho native store keepers in Seoul, Corea, shut up shop recently for three days and would not sell anything, until their Japanese and Chinese competitors were expelled from the city. Foreign Ministers and the native Government smoothed the matter over. I A Serloua Caee. Victoria, March 24.—On Saturday a summons was sworn out by one of the men, charging Captain McLean, of the scaling schooner Mary Ellen, with assault and attempting to drown. Of this summons Captain McLean took no notice, although he waB to have appeared in court In answer to the charge to-morrow, and to-day he made preparations for going to sea. This morning another of the sailors laid a complaint before Sergeant Langley of bad treatment, and Provincial Police Officer Miller and Special Officer Robb were detailed to serve another summons on Captain McLean. ThU forenoon the officers went out to the schooner, which was lying at anchor and found preparations being made for immediate departure, the anchor being "hove short" and part of the sails set* Officer Miller informed Captain McLean of his errand, but the Captain paid no attention and in a few momenta the anchor wbb hove up and the Mary Ellen started out of the harbor with a good breeze, the officers being prisoners on board. A stormy fight for the possession ol. the schooner seemed imminent, but tbe two police were not to be put off easily. Officer Miller throw himself against the wheel of tbe schooner, and putting the vessel off her course forced her on to a sand bar, where she stuck. All this had been seen from the shore by, the aid of powerful glasses, and Sergeant Langley at once gathered more officers and started for the schooner to relieve Miller and Robb and to circumvent McLean even if he got the schooner afloat and outof the Harbor. A message was sent to tho Naval Yard ut Esquimalt asking that a steam cutter be sent In chase of tbe Mary Ellen If she got clear of the harbor. Fortunately! this was not necessary for when tbe schooner was boarded by Sergeant Langley and more police the captain surrendered. Sergeant Langley states that when McLean found that he had to be taken ashore ho offered $800 down and promise ot more if lot go, but the A Statutory Holiday and a Calgary Deputation. rFrora Our Own Correapondcnt.1 Ottawa, 25.—This being a statutory holiday all the departments are closed and 1500 civil service employees are enjoying a holiday.

Monday's Proceedings and the Cloge of the Three Day*' Confer- ' enee. The conference opened withdevo-i tional exercises ut 9 a.m. on Monday in the Baptist church, after which several papers were read, and the financial question wbb discused, Messrs. Char- nock, Teague, Carter, Davie, Curtis, Morris, Johnson and Horner taking part. Messrs. Davie, Johnson, Carter and Chnraock spoke next on the subject of spiritual results, and the need of tact and cheerfulness in dealing with enquirers, and many good views were advanced. Rev. Mr. White said that his views as to Y. M. C, A. work had been enlarged by what he had heard at the Conference, although he had been in sympathy with the work before. Mr. Johnson found that secular work sometimes retarded spiritual life, and gave a method which he believed would e successful in avoiding this, namely, to make a list of the young men needing spiritual assistance and endeavor to help them. The report of the committee on credentials was received. Mr. Harris read a paper on "The relation of the Association to the Church and the Relation of the Ministry to the Association." Mr. Carter said that he had not at any time heard a more exhaustive treatise ou the subject, and moved that Mr. Harris be asked to let the committee have his essay for publication. The motion was unanimously carried And Mr. Harris assented to the proposition. A short discussion followed on the mutual relations of tho Church and the Association and their effects upon each other. After lunch, and remarks hy those delegates who were obliged to leavo early, Mr. Johnson, on behalf of the Committee ou Resolutions, moved the following resolution: Resolved, That first of all thanks be tendered to Almighty God for his blessing, not only on the sessions of this Conference, but ou tbe work at large throughout the District of British Columbia ; that hearty thanks be tendered to tbe ladles who have so kindly furnished the excellent lunches which havo contributed materially to tbe success of the convention; that thanks be tended to all those who kindly entertained the delegates iu their homes, and provided for their comfort In so many ways; that thanks be tendered to the press for the full reports of the proceedings published. The motion was unanimously carried, and after au additional vote of thanks to the president and officers of tho Conference, tlie meeting adjourned and the first annual Conference of the Y.M.C.A. of British Columbia came to a close. FRASER JIIVER IMPROVEMENTS. The only river in the Dominion that can he compared with the St. Lawrence in importance is the Fraser River. It drains a large extent of country and on its navigability depends tho prosperity of many industries. On the Fraser a large canning business is done. The timber on its banks and near them is one of the principal elements of the wealth of the province. Cutting it and manufacturing it. already give employment to many and, if proper facilities were extended to this part of the country, this great industry could be indefinitely exunnded. Some of the finest agricultural fund in the Dominion is situated on the banks of the Fraser. Tlie products of these very important industries should find easy access to the sea by tho great waterway which nature has provided. It can easily he seen that the progress of a very large part of tho most productive district in the Province depends in a great measure upon tho condition of the navigation of the Fraser.River. If it is impeded, and if the necessary improvements are not made as soon as they are required, the country through which it runs will be kept back and other parts of the Mainland, less favorably situated, will be able-to obtain an undue advantage- over it. Neglect to improve the navigation of the Fraser places it at a great disadvantage in competing in tbo timber trade with the American cities of the Sound. This beingthocaso it would be thought that the Dominion Government would spare no expense to place the people of British Columbia in a position to derive the greatest possible benefit from this great river, that it would have it carefully and accurately surveyed, properly buoyed, and well lighted. A government desirous of promoting the welfare of this Province would take the measures necessary to make the navigation of this river safe and easy. But what ought to be is often very different from what is, and the present condition of the Fraser River is an example of the way in which a government neglects what ought to be its imperative duty. It will hardly be believed that there is not to-day a chart of the Fraser River that can be relied upon. Ship owners and.underwriters will look in vain for autliorative and reliable information respecting tlie navigability of this important river. Thero was an old admiralty chart which, owing to shifting channels, .fas become 'completely obsolete, and another one that was drawn about a year ago is bo incomplete and so inacourate as to evoke a strong protest from the New Westminster Board of Trade. Commercial men will see at a glance what a great drawback the want of such a chart is to tbe port of New Westminster and to the industries that have been established on the banks of the river. The channel of the Fraser should bo clearly marked out, and the depth of water in every part of it accurately ascertained. Any changes that take place, in it should be noted and made public with the least possible delay, and the existing channel should be carefully buoyed. We cannot understand why tho Government needs to be reminded of its duty with respect to so important a river as tho Fraser. That it should re-' quire to be petit ioned and remonstrated with in order to take the proper measures to make the navigation of that river safe is, to us, incomprehensible. The state of the Fraser River should be as well known in Ottawa as it is in New Westminster, and there should be neither hesitation nor delay In making such changes as the condition of the channel demands. For a river harbor, where the channel is liable to shift, a lightship is indispensable. A lighthouse would in such a harbor be more frequently a snare than a guide. The light should show where the deepest water iB at tho time and the buoys should he changed as soon as the channel shifts. The expense of such a ship would not be great, and oven if it was considerable it should be promptly incurred. This truth was known and acted upon iu tbe early days of the province when it was a crown colony. There was then a lightship on the Fraser properly manned and equipped, and the shipmaster was immediately informed of any change that had taken place in the channel. But there has been retrogression in this respect since confederation. The authorities should know that the importance of improving the navigation of the Fraser River and of having it known all over tbe world that it can be safely entered by ships of a certain tonnage is worth more to the Dominion than any sum that may be required for lighting and buoying its channel. It is evidently the interest of both the Dominion nnd the Province to have the navigation of tbe river cleared of all obstacles and its channel properly marked to as great a distance as possible, or as far as the requirements of business demand. To have tho survey of tbe river extend to twenty miles or so from its mouth appears to us to bo a very moderate request indeed. Tlie resolution proposed by Mr. Cunningham ou Friday must he admitted to be extremely moderate. It asks for nothing but what should have been done hy the Government of its own motion. The Dominion authorities should not have needed memorials from New Westminster, or a resolution of the Legislative Assembly of this Province, to remind them of their duty of doing what Is necessary to improve the inivi- f;atlonoftho Eraser River. It is to he toped that the forcible reminder will not bo lost upon the Dominion Government. Tho representatives of (be Province in the Legislative Assembly may bo fairly presumed to know what tho wants of the Province are, and It is not to be supposed that they would ask the Dominion Government to do what is unreasonable, or even what is not urgontly required.—Leading article In Colonist of 23rd hist. SABBATH OBSERVANCE. II. Amidst the prevailing gloom, however, there appear^, we think, bne unmistakable gleam of light. It is this. The prevailing sentiment in the different communities throughout the Province is in favor of cessation of all manner of work aud proper observance of the Sabbath. Those to whom the Lord's Day Alliance petition was presented for signatures readily put down their names, aud many expressed the wish that the Legislature might pass a strong and stringent Sabbath law. AH truly Christian people, it is presumed, are of one mind upon the subject; and the nominally Christian in general take the same view. So that it is the opinion of the different ministers located at different points all over the Province from Kamloops to Comox, that the vast majority of the population favors a better observance of the Sabbath—would hall with joy legislation prohibiting at least the more glaring forms of Sabbath desecration—and that the number of those who openly and daringly profane the Sabbath and advocate their right to do so is decidedly a minority. These appear to your committee very important and significant opinions, opinions to which prominence aud publicity ought to be given, and opinions for which we ought to thank God and take courage. For if the members of the Presbytery are correct in their judgment that vast majorities of the people in different parts of tlie Province are in favor of a better observance of the Lord's day, these majorities ought to be reminded hy us so far as we have opportunity again and again of their duty to stand fast in ono spirit, with one mind striving together for tlie due observance of the Lord's day. These majorities ought to make their influence tell in their respective localities by discountenancing Sunday trading and Sunday travelling, Sunday sporting and Sunday amusements. These majorities ought to make their influence felt at the coining elections and see to it that those who come forward soliciting their votes to represent them in the Legislature ore sound upon this point, and that they will range themselves upon the right side when the occasion demands. The well-founded opinion of men who have the best opportunity for judging, that an immense majority of the people of this Province favor the observance of a British Sabbath ought further to be proclaimed, because when Mr. Bole introduced a Sunday closing bill In the Provincial Legislature a year or two ago, it was defeated, a large majority of members voting against It, and the opponents of the bill claimed that said bill was contrary to tlie wishes of a majority of the population. Your committee cannot refrain from affirming in the strongest terms that it is contrary to our sense of right and justice that a portion of our fellow citizens should feel compelled or necessitated to work seven days a week, to the injury of their physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing, and contrary to their expressed wishes, merely to satisfy the greed, the avarice, of those who for the time being have them in their power. Even bartenders, says one report, complain of the slavery of Sunday labor. It is in the second place contrary to our sentiments of fair and honorable conduct between man and man, that tbe Christian community of this Province should have their sacred territories ruthlessly invaded, their inherited rights taken away, merely because this Is tbe will and pleasure of the non-Christian portion of tho population which is a minority. The church of the present day cannot be truly charged with intolerance. Christians of every denomination manifest a readiness to concede to the fullest possible extent, the just and reasonable rights of those who difler from them. At the same time we maintain that it is absurd to argue that the Christian Sabbath can be observed POLICE COURT. while the non-Christian population may do as they please. In other words, it is impossible that the Christian commun- At the Police Court this morning a half-breed woman named Emily Agnes, from Langley, pleaded guilty to the charge of being drunk and disorderly, and was dismissed as she claimed to be without means and waB anxious to get j home. After a severe lecture on tlio crime of drunkeness. the woman was told to go and get home as quickly as possible. George Graham and James Moore were charged with vagrancy, and their replies to the court were far from satisfactory. Graham made a begging tour of the City last evening and this lend to hia arrest. The magistrate gave them till 3 o'clock either to And work, leave, the City, or go to gaol for 80 days. The Chinese gambling case, in which Joe Pan figured as defendant, came up for a decision. The magistrate reviewed tlie evidence carefully, pointing out the difference between a game ol chance and scientific calculation, The testimony of the witnesses clearly proved that .Joe wns conducting a lottery busl- ness,<.and as such the investors were unable to calculate with certainty on a profit arising from thoir investments, The court Imposed a fine of 120 on the defendant, which was paid with the utmost alarclty and nintdst tho smiles of the large Celestial audience present, Ki'.iort of the Committee of tho t'ojitm hia 1'reebytery on Bnhltath Obaervanee. Following is the text of the report of the Committee on Sabbath Observance submitted at tho meeting of the Columbia Presbytery held iu Victoria a little over a week ogo, by the Rev. Alexander Dunn, Convener," nnd which was recommended to be published in all the Provincial journals. The report appears for the first time in Tub Columbian today owing to lack of space beforo: Answers to questions on Sabbath observance have been received from every minister within the bounds, except one, These answers bear a striking resemblance to each other. In point of fact the report in most respects Ib one expressed in slightly varying terms. Your committee must state with extreme re. grot that the tone and terms of theso reports are depressing and melancholy to u degree. And dark as was tho report from this Presbytery submitted to last General Assembly, no manifest improvement has since taken place. The same black catalogue of unsightly forms of Sabbath desecration must uo repented thiB year. I. Descending to particulars, and dealing with the answers to questions In detail, we have to state, in the first place, that all the brethren report having preached upon the subject of Sabbath observance, as enjoined by Assembly, and that in Vancouver a sermon on Sabbath desecration was published in a Sunday newspaper. ity can have their rights while the non- Christian population are having their pleasures. One or other must give in. The two cannot exist side by aide. In their very nature they are opposed to each other, and never, never can be harmonized. III. The chief forms of Sabbath desecration are the following: (1.) Sabbath freight trains. (2.) Steamboats carrying ordinary passengers and excursion parties. .3.) Publication of the Colonist, Victoria: the News-Advertiser, Vancouver, and the Truth, New Westminster. (4.) Open saloons, and outside of the city nearly all stores do more or less business on the Sabbath. (5.) Hunting, fishing and all sorts of open- air games. (6.) Nearly all post offices are open. IV. Suggestions by the brethren as to means to be adopted to bring about improvement in respect to better observance of the Sabbath: (l.)Frequent addresses from the pulpit, and faithful, prudent dealings with individual eases. (2.) Consistent example of members of the Church, (3.) Conferences in country districts on Sabbath observance and kindred subjects. (4.) An agitation and demand upon the Provincial Legislature for a more stringent law than tho one now in force. (5.) Our only hope, says one, is a Dominion law, which it is , hoped may soon be got. PROVINCIA^PARLIAMENT, Monday'a l'roceedlnga. f Fiiim Our Own CorroxpoudenM Mr. Speaker took the chair at 2:10 p. m. Prayers by Rev. A. Bounlands. Mr. Smith moved the following resolution : That tho report of the Select Committee appointed 4th March, 1800, "to ascertain what action tho Government has taken respecting the reports of tho 'Select Committee appointed to enquire into the claim of Samuel Greer to certain land in the vicinity of English Bay,' adopted on the 27th April, 1888," bo adopted. The debate which ensued upon this resolution was taken part in by many of the members. Mr. Orr said that it was simply impossible to so word a resolution that no loop hole for critical objection could not be found by those desirous of so doing. Mr. Speaker ruled the report out of order. Hon. Mr. Robson said that the Government had not ignored the previous reports of the committee. So far from disregarding those reports took the matter into their most serious consideration and tbey had come to the conclusion that it would be most unjust to give Mr. Greer a titlo to that laud. Mr. Greer bad no claim to a title to that land cither In law or equity. No one better than Mr. Orr knew how to bring In a resolution properly worded for the attainment of his objects. Kir. Duck was the hut speaker on the estimates this afternoon, and the House then w out iuto Committee of Supply. Various Items wero passed very quietly, hardly any debate taking place In the Committee. The Committee rose at six o'clock, when the House adjourned until tho evening. During tho evening session tbo remainder of tho estimate votes were passed and several private bills were introduced or advanced a stage. The estimates being over, a disposition to rush work is very observable. Tub Columbian job department Ib now in running order, and prepared to turn out first-class work of every description. * Children Cry for Pitcher's Cntorh.1 THE DAILY COLUMBIAN.

Some of our worthy aldermen evidently believe in giving full measure and running over. The City asked for a pound, and a majority of the nldermanic board has decided that it shall have two. This is a case, however, in which the munificent liberality of the public spirited solons above referred to will not be appreciated. The ratepayers generally will be pretty unanimous in agreeing that one pound, and one pound-keeper, is quite sufficient, even for Bneh a rapidly growing and ambitious city as Westminster, and the great majority of the citizens will resent the establishment of a pound in Queen's Park, even if the Citv has got the right, which is very doubtful, to subvert any portion of the public pleasure grounds to such a use. A large sum of money has already been expended on Queen's Park, and much more will be spent In the future to improve and beautify it and make it a public pleasure resort and a pride and credit to the City, and the idea of establishing a City pound within the precincts Is too preposterous to be entertained for a moment. Some other solution of the pound embroglio, embodying one pound at some convenient location (regard being had to the fact that a Bite must be chosen in some com* paratively unfrequented and out of the way portion of tbe City, if possible) must be sought; for the ratepayers will never consent to have a cattle pound established in Queen's Park, neither will they be able to see the force of establishing and maintaining two such institutions, where one is plainly sufficient. __,_______i__________ AN IMPORTANT RESOLUTION. The hearty support which Mr. Cunningham's motion in the matter of the Fraser River improvements received in the House on Friday last from members of both parties, and from islanders as well as mainlanders, is decidely gratifying in itself, and as indicating, not only the strength of the claims which the Fraser River has upon the attention of the Dominion Government in the minds of reasonable men best able to judge, but the development of a broader, a more Provincial, as distinguished from a merely sectional, spirit among the pub- He men of the Province. The fact that the motion in question was carried unanimously by the House, and had the aetive support of the leader of the Government, as well as of a goodly number of honorable members ou both sides of the House, cannot but add materially to the weight of the representations which the Lieutenant-Governor, pursuant to the memorial which the motion provides for, will forward in due time to the Federal authorities. But not only have the members of the Legislature given a hearty and unanimous support to this last effort to secure practical recognition of the importance and the just claims of the Fraser River at Ottawa, but what might, without unfairness to any of the Provincial journals, be called the leading newspaper of the Province, the Victoria Colonist, has added its influence to the same worthy cause. We have great pleasure in reproducing on another page the lengthy and able article which the Colonist of a recent date devotes to the Important subject of the Fraser River Improvements and their necessity, as outlined by the motion introduced by Mr. Cunningham. It will be seen that tbe article from the Colonist takes prac tically the same ground on the question as was taken in an article in this paper a few days ago on the same subject, and puts the matter before the Dominion authorities in such a light that they can hardly fail to see their duty in the premises, aud seeing their duty, will find it a very difficult matter to evade it any longer. As Mr. Croft very appropriately remarked, this resolution (for the improvement of the navigation of the Fraser) was one of tbe most important that had come. before the House this - session. To the credit of the Legislature as a whole, and tho press, they have viewed it in tho same light. It Is to be hoped that the Dominion Government may do likewise and act accordingly, and promptly. THE LOAN BY-LAW. couraged and the aggregate value of the property benefited immensely increased. The by-law appears to provide as fairly as possible for all parts of the city, and is, therefore, entitled to general support on that ground. The "contingent fund" clause, and the provision therein for limiting the expenditure on any one street, strikes us as a prudent proviso after the experience of last year. It will be noticed that the by-law is prepared on the basis of last year'B assessment of the total taxable property of the city, being $2,640,246, and not on tbe recent increased assessment of $3, 004,940. This was rendered necessary in order to avoid a delay of about a month in submitting the by-law, as the last assessment is not yet legally complete. However, as many are aware, the Council has power by an amendment to the charter of last year to reduce the rates levied on debentures, from time to time, as the value of taxable property ib shown to have increased by the revision of the assessment roll, so that this point will not prejudice the by-law with the ratepayers. Viewed in any and every light, it must be concluded that the loan by-law is a good measure, and*well-timed, considering the circumstances and prospects of the city, and there is. not the smallest reasonable doubt that a large majority of the ratepayers will give it their hearty endorsement, NOTES AND COMMENTS. good for them. The preparations thus completed, the Indians, using one small tin cup, which is impartially handed from one to the another, proceed to get On another page we print the loan bylaw, passed by the City Council last night, and which is now submitted for the approval of the ratepayers, the vote to be taken about the end of next month. The by-law provides, it will be observed, for borrowing $80,000 for street Improvements, the $05,000 at first proposed being found, ou a careful estimation of the work desirable and necessary to be done, insufficient. A perusal of the by-law, we think, will convince any one that a well conceived and comprehensive scheme of street opening and Improvements has been devised by the Mayor and Council, and the apportionments for the different streets, for completing improvements inaugurated last year and for opening out new streets, give evidence of having been carefully considered and arranged. The proposal to open out three parallel streets, vis., Columbia street, the Thorn road, and the North Arm road, to the full length of the oity limits, will, we believe, meet with the hearty endorsement of every ratepayer. Not only will these fine avenues make splendid drives, and give Strangers a good opportunity to judge of the incomparable site and the extent of the city, but by this means a large, and at present practically inaccessible, suburban area will be opened up and brought within easy and convenient reach of the centre of the city, and building operations will be thus en- One of the extraordinary features of this strange winter, remarks an eastern exchange, has been the early movement of the Arctic Ice fields and bergs. As a rule they do not appear off Newfoundland until the early part of February, and often not until the latter part of the mouth. This year they began to come down early in January, and the main body of ice Is, it is said, now well down. This phenomenon has led the United States Hydrograpbic Office to send one of its officers to Halifax and Newfoundland to investigate and make a detailed report with a view to aiding masters of vessels to avoid danger. The project of bridging Behring Straits, which is said to be attracting discussion in Russia, remarks the Toronto Globe, is a somewhat startling one, but there do not seem to be any insuperable difficulties in the way. The distance between Siberia and Alaska iB between fifty and sixty miles,4>ut this distance is broken into convenient sections by three or four islands, which will form stations in a route from Cape Prince of Wales on the American shore to East Cape on the Russian. The undertaking would, of course, be an enormously expensive one, but who will say that it will never be accomplished? With a railway to Alaska, another across Siberia, and a tunnel under the British Channel, our descendants, If they donot succeed in bridging the Atlantic, may yet journey by rail from New York to London. In connection with the movement which is now making most satisfactory progress for the confederation of tho Australasian portion of the British Empire, the difficulty has been suggested that New Guinea and Fiji would have to remain crown colonies, and, therefore, could hardly form units in a federation of self-governing provinces. One expedient suggested by Canadian precedents is that such portions of Australasia might rank as territories, not provinces, of the federation, with more restricted powers of self-government. Of course the two cases are not quite parallel, but with the co-operation of the Imperial authorities modifications could be adopted to suit the circumstances. As with us, the powers of such territories could be enlarged when expedient, even before the attainment of full provincial autonomy .—Empire, A late issue of the Montreal Star contains the following horrible, though none the less wonderful, story: Advices from Velhonnla, Southern Russia, give curious accounts of the performances of Count Zourohoff, a nobleman .who professes to be an amateur doctor and scientist. He waB recently arrested, charged with cruelty to children, but escaped through a technicality. It appears that he bought four children three years old, from poor parents, and confined them in separate rooms. They were taught absolutey nothing, and were waited upon by a deaf and dumb attendant. They were plentifully supplied with good food, and the rooms were large and well warmed and ventilated, but they were allowed no clothing. In fact they were caged like beers. In explanation of his conduct the Count explained that he was endeavoring to discover what instincts were natural to the human animal. It was proved that he never struck the unfortunate children, who developed into perfect wild beasts, unable to talk, and with no notions of decency. They would howl and snarl, and tear their food like animals. Since his trial the Count boards his proteges with different families, and will educate and provide for them during the remainder of their lives. Men of science are interested in the problem whether the Count will be able to reclaim the children from their savagery. Kirk Munroe tells in Scribner's how Indians get drunk. It Is shown by the writer that they observe a method and degree of decency that white and civilized topers might do well to imitate. When a band or family decide to get drunk they send to the nearest market for one or more gallons of liquor. With the vile stuff in their possession the Indians retire to some remote spot where their orgies will not be witnessed by any save themselves, and deliberately prepare for their spree. They first set aside a share of the "fire-water" for the squaws who will not touch a drop of it until their lords have finished their debauch. All guns, knives and other weapons are then placed in charge of the squaws, or, if there are no women in the party, they are delivered to one of the men, for whom a certain amount of liquor is reserved. While the rest are drunk this guardian of the peace must remain sober and keenly watchful of the actions of his companions. Should he prove unfaithful to his trusts he will be exiled from the tribe and no Indian will hold communication with him (or the term of mouths or years during which his exile is enforced. While the debauch of his companions lasts he is absolute master of the situation, and Ib at liberty to use any amount of force, even to the taking of life, to repel an attempt to regain possession of the weapons. If these are left to the squaws the same rule holds solemnly, funnily, furiously and stupidly drunk. The next day it is the turn of the squaws or of the man who haa stood guard, and they, too, taste the joys and sorrows of complete intoxication. PORT HANEY NEWS. f From Our Own Correspondent.)

To Westminster. On Wednesday night last Miss M. Campbell, a voting lady well and favorably known In Kamloops muBical and social circles for some time past, left to join her parents in New Westminster, whither they removed a few weeks ago. Miss Campbell's absence from Kamloops will be felt in many ways, but in none more bo than in musical circles. Heretofore no local entertainment was considered complete unless her name appeared on the programme for two or more numbers, and her willingness to oblige always made it an easy task to request her assistance. As a vocalist she is greatly admired and deservedly so, ana her departure leaves a void In that respect which at present there appears to be no one to fill. For the past five months Bhe has led the choir in the Presbyterian church, and here also will her services be missed. While expressing regret at her departure, the many friends of Miss Campbell in Kamloops also express the hope that life for her in her new home may be both pleasant and profitable, and that while making new friends and forming new acquaintanceships she may still bear in mind gleasing memories of the friends In amloops.—Sentinel.

I used to love the forest green, Each shady nook and dell, Whero birds were twittering overhead, Intent their lore to tell; But now It li a haunted spot, Where I no longer stray, For every thing reminds me that My love has gone away. I used to linger on tbe beach To hear old ocean's roar, And watch the summer tides come In And dash along the shore; But now I can not bear to hear The dirge the billows play, ' For tbey have lost tholr charm, because Hy love has gone away. The country lane was, I confess, Scarce broad enough for two, Unless the arm was round my waist, And thus we wundered through; But now It Is a noxious place, Where not a single ray Of light appears, and all I ^use My love has gone away. The universe Is dark and dull; x Around, above, below, There Is nothing quite so beautiful As 'twas awhile ago; The birds no longer sing so sweet, The skies are cold and gray, And nature mourns with mo, because My love has gone away. -Josephine Pollard, In N. Y. Ledger. CALIFORNIA GRIZZLIES. Ouu That Old Hunters Do Not Oare to Meet When Alone. Bruin WM Hot Satisfied with SpanUh Steers-A DMT Hunt In Whleh the Bear Md AU the Hunting . That Was Done. The California grizzly li a most Interesting animal. As Bret Barto used to aay, he has but one ungentleroanly habit, that of scalping with his fore paw, and this he eaught from the wicked red man. Otherwise, unless aggressively assaulted, he is the pinto ot good behavior. He will walk off the trail and give you the right of way, he will gather salmon berries in the same patch, or dig roots on the hillside while you are sketching or writing not many yards away.; If it were,otherwise — it the gristly had the- temper of the royal tiger — thousands of the pioneers of California would have perished at his claws, for a full-grown gritsly when roused is ft terrible antagonist. When Americans came to California grizzlies were very numerous, General Bidwell saw scores of them in the Napa Valley, General Vallerjo saw them feeding like sheep in the Santa Rosa. In the acorn season they were found in droves under the oaks. The Spaniards learned to lasso and kill them. The Americans found groat sport In shooting them from horsoback. When tho Mls- sourian stockmen oame they poisoned thousand of grizzlies, and tho work Is still going on so steadily that the great Paoiflo coast bear Is very scarce, and certain to become very rare In a few more years. At present the finest skins that come to San Francisco aro from the high Sierras and from Alaska. Forty-five years ago there were grlz- zIIob In the Santa Clara valley and in the foot-hills within twenty miles of San Francisco. They were in tne live- oak forests of Enolnal and the Contra Costa, where Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda now stand. They were occasionally brought Into the old mission of San Joao and turned Into rings to fight Spanish bulls. But they lived for the most part In contented obscurity. When the pioneers came few of them understood the nature of the animal, and bo the early stories that linger in tbe valley have elements of surprise that the later bear stories laek. *ld Captain Valpey, a Nova Scotlan sailor, sold his sloop at "an early day and bought a foot-hill ranch. There was a deep gulch on tho tract full of oak, madrono and chapparal. Pretty soon he discovered that a large grizzly lived there. The old captain went down to the village for advice. "He will kill your steers," said old Kester, who owned a stock ranch. "Buy a bottle of strychnine, and tho first time you miss a steer go out and poison the carcass." Captain Valpoy bought the strychnine. The next day he climbed up the hill, over Ihe guloh, with his old spy-glass and looked down. He Saw a great brown body moving along the trail, and soon the bear passed within fifty feet of the rock where he sat. The captain was delighted at his appearance. The next day at the village he declared: "Boys, nobody shall shoot or poison that grizzly Of mine. He walks like an old salt, and he's as big as a horse! I ain't too poor to let him have a five-dollar Spanish steer whenever he wants it." Under these circumstances tho Valpoy grizzly became famous and throve for Boveral months. But one morning the old captain was up on "Maintop Knob" with his spy-glass. He saw his drove ot cattle was In the wooded pasture below, huddled up In a bend of the creek. Before them, marching baok and forth, occasionally rearing up and growling, was the great grizzly. He was selecting his dinner, much to the amusement of the captain. Suddenly tho bear charged Into the band and struck down with one blow the only blooded steer the captain owned. The rest of the cattle escaped with wild terror. The grizzly made his meal and wont off. The captain swore awhile, then .he got his strychnine bottle, and, late In the afternoon, cautiously descended the slope to where tbe body of his 8100 steer lay with a broken neck. He poured tbe stryohnino over the carcass, saying wrathfully: "Wasn't Spanish beef good enough for you, ye old native Californian?" So he poisoned his bear, after all.. There was a family of pioneers who lived In the hills of Alamoda County, not far from Valpey's. The elder, Zacharlah Cheney, took his son Joe and ft young man named Allen out to kill a grizzly. They all know very well whero to find him, tn a wild and broken canyon, or about the rocks at its head, where oak trees grew. They had come across bis tracks many times, and bad seen him grubbing oamaBB roots on the hillside when they wore hunting up oattlo, So tbey thought very little of the danger. Each of them had a gun and a revolver. Suddenly thoy mot tbo bear at the heed of the wooded gulch, who, seeing their warlike preparations, Immediately charged them and treed all threo In less than a minute. There was so little time for choice of a tree that tho t'ldor Cheney and young Allen got into surub-uaks hardly larger than respectable quince trues. In less time than It takes to toll it tho bear had Cheney on the ground, scalped him with one blow, crushed his arm and shoulder- blade with another, and left him. The bear Instantly turned his attention to young Allen, seized him by the boot-leg, and Jerked him from the tree so violently that the poor fellow rolled thirty foot down the guloh and under some willows, where he lay In alienee. The third man was beyond reach, so the grizzly, master of tbe olroumstanoe, rose to his full height, gave a roar of triumph, and walked .leisurely home. Not a single shot was fired by any of the three mon! Yet let no one too hastily shoot out the contemptuous lip, for ninety-nine mon out of a hundred might hftve done as badly. The rush of the largo ' grizzly from his ohapparal shelter Is a terrible th'ng to face. I distrust most of the ourreiu stories about successful hand-to-hand encounters with full- grown grizzlies. There Is an oak tree In Shftstn County under which a minor who had flrod upon a grizzly was killed by ono blow from the enraged animal, and when his companions killed tbe bear it was found that the man's bullet had passed entirely through the animal's body. If it were not for poison placed for him In his haunts the great master ot the California forests would still walk "alone as a rhinoceros" in almost every wild canyon of Coast Bange and Sierra. Men learn to give him the track when- over they ean, and It they go on the war-path it Is with profound respect for their antagonist's strength and courage. I once met five or six San Luis Obispo farmers who had shot a huge grizzly. They took their guns and went down into the gulch where the bear lived. They found him where he was compelled to cross the ravine to get to them, and so thoy were able to put over twenty bullets into him before he died at their feet. They had just skinned him and spread the great bide on the rooks when I rode up. I asked them how they felt about it and the leader said: "We none of us want to tackle another. It he had been on our side of the guloh instead of on his own most of us would have been killed before we could pump enough load into him." And that seemed to be tbe general oonvlotion. There were two Americans In the Santa Clara valley at an early day, brothers, named Howard and Michael Ov cracker. Thoy owned large farms, bad a wide acquaintance and wore very popular. They wore also the best rifle- shots and the most cool and successful hunters in the county. I have seen Michael, at a turkey match, kill his bird at six hundred yards. They used to kill wild geese, coyotes, mountain quail and hare on the run with their Henry rifles. Still, though ttiey had shot hundreds of deer, antelopes and oik thoy never went grizzly hunting. At last, in 1868, in the San Benito mountains, Howard Overauker bad his boar adventure, and the details are vory characteristic of the habits of the grizzly. The elder Overacker was'then in the prime of lifo, extremely strong, wiry, lean and quick in his motions. . His brother and a man named Ferguson formed the rest ot tho party. They left camp and separated, taking nearly parallel ravines. Howard was slowly working bis way through the dense, thorny tn.ai-.es, called by Californlans chapparal, when he suddenly came upon a large and old grizzly at close quarters. The animal was less than twenty feet distant, and at once, with a roar of rage, threw himself upon Overacker. The hunter, with that marvelous rapidity which such men acquire, put a bullet Into hia foe, threw out the shell and had pumped another cartridge Into tho rifle when the giant of tbe wilderness struck him. The blow delivered with tho right paw struck hlmon tho faco and neck, hurled the gun Into tho bushes and felled him to the ground. The grizzly Instantly caught him in threo places—one paw over the ribs, breaking two and tearing them loose; the othor paw on the ankles, ripping and crushing the flesh; the tooth and jaws closed on the thigh, mangling the flesh and tearing It from tho bone. Overacker, though perfectly conscious, lay without amotion through this terrific assault. Tho boar suddenly let go his hold on tlio thigh and caught Overacker by the shoulder, breaking and crushing the bones together. From the time when he rose against the man to the time when ho dropped hlma bundle of broken bones and torn flesh, the grizzly had seemingly put forth butono tremendous effort. Overacker said afterward-that ho was no stronger in tho bear's grasp than a cat would bo In his own, The bear left him a moment, walked about In a oirclo, roturned suddenly and bit pieces of flesh aa large as a marble from various parts of Overacker's body, and then took his final departure, Overaokor, a fow minutes later, seized the branches overhead and struggled to his foot, but, to use his own phrase, "all turned black," and his companions found bim half an hour later. For weeks ho was not expected to live, but his wife's nursing and his magnificent constitution pulled him through. Two years later Overacker returned to the samo region and shot two large grizzlies without any assistance. One of them received eight Henry rifle bullets before ho succumbed. This little sacrifice to his vanity being accomplished, he hunts no more boars, and oven discourages tho light-minded sneer at the California grizzly. I asked the veteran whether he would have used a bowle If he had had It while in tho grip of the forest king. Ovorackor smiled grimly: "It was a very large boar—as large as an ox. If John Sullivan had been in my place, and had driven ft bowie-knife through the bear's heart, ho would have been killed in the death struggle. As for a revolver, tt would have been suicide to have tried It But if the bear had been fifty feet off when I saw him, Instead of twenty feet,'I oould have kept out ol the way long enough to kill him."— Charles H. Shlnn, in Chicago Intel MADE TO LOOK NEW. A Simple and Effective Method of Renovating Old Garments. Old clothing may be made to look nearly as good as new by pursuing the following plan, says the Philadelphia Record: Take, for instance, ft shiny old ooat, vest or pair of trousers of broadcloth, eassfmere or diagonal, The scourer makes a strong, warm soapsud and plunges the garment into It, souces ttup and down, rubs tho dirty plaees; . It nee* ossary.puts It through a second suds, then rinses it through several waters and hangs it to dry on tho line. When nearly dry ho takes it in, rolls It up for an hour or two, and then presses it An old cotton oloth ts laid on the outside of the coat and the iron passed over that until the wrinkles are out; but the iron,1b removed beforo the steam ceases to rlso from tbe goods, else they would be shiny. Wrinkles that are obstinate aro removed by laying a wet eloth over them and passing the Iron over that. If any shiny places aro seen they are treated as the wrinkles are; the Iron Is lifted, while the full cloud of steam rlsos and brings the nap up with tt Good cloth will bear many washings and look better every time because of them. _______________ The Bond to Prosperity.. The man who saves something every yoar, quotes a contemporary, who had heard the remark from every quarter, is on the road to prosperity. It may not be possible to save much, If not, save a little. Do not think that a dollar or a dime is too small a sum to lay by. Every body knows how little expend! tures get away with large sums. But few seem to know that the rule Ib one that works both ways. If a dime spent bore and ft dollar spent thero' soon make a large hole tn a man's income, so do dimes and dollars laid away soon bo- come a visible and a respectable accumulation. In this country any man can make himself independent or koep himself under the harrow for life, according as be wastes or spends his small change. Asked for a Bridal Dress.

An Interesting and Pretty Story of Indian Lore. How Young Star of Daj and His Pale Faced Captive Died Together-why Ko Indian Ventures on the i_ake — Superstition* rjuaotes. It Is not difficult to Imagine what a paradise Iowa was for the nomadle tribes thftt first peopled it, writes Mr. J. A. Smith In the Sioux City (Ia.) Journal. Its lakes and streams alive with fish and fowl; Its prairies the pastare ground for almost countless herds of wild ruminating animals; its timber belts furnishing convenient shelter and fuel, while tbe rich soil responded abundantly to their rude and desultory attempts at agrioulture. And thinking of this one Is led to wonder If the same people who fough't so long and fiercely for possession of the bleak and rugged bills of New England and the Middle States, and who mado ot the Ohio valley "a dark and bloody ground," submitted with such comparative tameness to be driven from these, their beBt hunting grounds. Hut It Is rather for the purpose of recalling one of the most charming of Iowa's legends than for speculating upon the Indian heglra that this narrative is written. Ono of the loveliest sheets of water in the world Ib Spirit Lake, now so widely known as Iowa's beautiful summer resort, and with Its name Is connected the legend mentioned. The Indian name of Spirit Lake ts Mtnne Waukan, or "Water of the Groat Spirit," and the legend gives the significance of the name. One who has only seen Spirit Lake on a calm, bright summer day, with scarcely a rlpplo disturbing the sheen of Its broad expanse, could but Imagine—so peaceful, so restful and quiet Is the scene—that If spirits'abide therein tbey must suroly bo those gentle gnomes and fairies whose mission to tbe human family was always one of kindness. But when one has seen it lashed to fury by the pitiless north wind, watched Its steely-blue, foam-crested waves roll high up on Sandy beach or dash In impotent rage against rock-lined .cliffs, while afar off masses of vapor and the vory clouds seemed to meet Its angry surface like a besom ot destruction— then It would be easy to understand that the superstitious red man might regard suoh manifestations as threatening death to any who should venture upon Its turbulent waters. Many years ago, so runs the legend, a war party of Sioux who bad Joined their brethren near the great lakes In an Incursion to drive away the usurping whito man, returned to the tribe, bringing with them captive a beautiful white maldon. After many weary days of journeying they found the camp fires of their people among tbe trees that fringed the western shone of Spirit Lake. The grlof and' beauty of the white girl had touched the heart of "Star of Day," son of a poworful chief, and during the wearisome Journey he tried to soften tho hardships sho endured and to show her the love she had awakened In his breast. But the poor captive bad no thought for any thing but the home and friends from whom sbe had boon so ruthlessly torn, although her heart was filled with gratitude toward the young bravo, who protected ber tn his rude fashion. When the camp on tbe lake was reached the captive waa plaoed In ebargeof an old squaw and coi.fli.ed In a wigwam, whero she bemoaned hor sad fate with tears and entreaties to bo restored to ber friends. Star of Day tried for a time, as opportunity offered, to urge his suit, but without avail. In vain he rohoarsed his prowess In battle or pointed to trophies of the chase takon by his skill. Ills love-making but added to tho maiden's misery, and her only answer to hiB wooing was piteous appeals that ho would sot hor treo. Finally Star of Day determined to not only give hor liberty, but to conduct hor safety to her family, hoping that such generosity would awaken the love he craved. He chose a time when most of the tribe wore absent on a grand hunt ind selecting- a dark and threatening night for greater security the pair launched out upon the lake In a light but frail canoe. The girl's absence was soon discovered by tho old squaw, and the alarm spread through the camp. Other canoes were manned in ehase of the fugitives, and being propelled hy several pairs of strong arms, the flashing light of torches ere long enabled the pursuers to catch sight of Star of Day's oanoo. But just as their capture was Imminent the storm burst with terrible fury, engulfing all In the surging whirlpool of dark waters. From that time no Indian's canoe ever crossed the lake. Either a storm would suddenly arise and swamp the frail hark or some unseen power drag It beneath the waves. Then the tragic fate of Star of Day and the white maiden was invested with Indian superstition, and their spirits wero said to haunt the lake for the purpose ot working mischief upon all red men who should venture thereon. When in after years the adventurous white hunters who first visited the lake launched boldly upon Its surface and returned safe from their voyages, the fact was accepted as fully confirming the theory of ft mysterious spirit influence whioh was exercised for the protection of the pale-faces, as well as for the destruction of the red men. As years passed it became ft part of the tradition that no white man would ever be drowned tn the lake, but that In storm or calm his boat would safely ride its waters, shielded from danger by the enchantment of the spirits that rule tho waves and guide tho fatal whirlpools. The Deepeet Coal Mine, j Very few people, In looking at the dusky diamonds as they lay upon the fire, know ot the effort and the danger that surrounds the Individual who plies his vocation In digging the same, as the mines are under ground, and some very deep. The deepest one in America Is In Pottsvllle, Pa. The shaft Is 1,676 feet deep. From Its bottom, almost a third of ft mile down, 206 cars, holding four tons each, are lifted every day. They are run upon a platform, and the whole weight of six tons ts hoisted at a speed that makes the head swim, the timo occupied tn lifting a full ear being littlo more than ft minute. The hoisting and lowering ot men Into coal mines Is regulated by law, and only ten can stand on the platform at once, under penalty of ft heavy fine. The Bisk of Greatness.

The remark, however, was made that it was feared the river would ignite, therefore it was necessary that tlio fire engine and all appliances for extinguishing the destroying element should be located in close proximity thereto, but our homes, which are suburban, are not of so much consequence, apparently. Permit me to suggest the desirability of some arrangement by which a conflagration at the top of the hill—say at Montreal and Begbie streets—may be easily controlled—and in order to do this it appears the locality for an engine, Bhould be near the top, as it may require a considerable lapse of time for the Ore to be reached, and if more help were needed at the river side, it would be easy to descend rapidly. If there is no supply of water except at the river, should not a reservoir be constructed at the summit without delay. I merely throw out these remarks for what they are worth. Among your numerous readers there may be many capable of making wiser suggestions. Yours truly, • Tutbla. New Wostrainster, March 24th, 1800. NOBTH ABM NOTES. (From Our Own Correspondent.) NouTit Am, March 26,1800. The rlfleclub met on Friday, at usual ground on Sea Island, for the final practice to decide who should bo prise winners.
