London, Sept. lO.—Athalf past live this morning a policeman found the body of nn abandoned woman lying in lho corner of tlio railway arch spanning Cabin Biruut, Whitechapel. An examination of the body showed tho head and lt'^a Imd been cut off nnd carried away, and .the Btonmch ripped open leaving the buwels lying upon the ({round. Th*} n»lioe authorities iinmo* deately placed a cordon of officers iiround tho Kp<-tj, hut no arrests were made. A policeman passed the place where the body was found every fifteen minutes throughout the night and saw nothing to nroiiRO hii suspicions. Tlio physiciiina who examined the body boliove that the murder occupied nearly an hour, and that the murderer carried the head and legs away in a bag. This murder is tho most horrible of the wholo Whitechapel series. The disBectiou of the body shows that the perpetrator poGscsaed considerable surgical skill. The murdered woman was about 30 years of ago, and was evidently addicted to the excessive use of spirituous liquors. Her olothing waa shabby. As yet she has not been identified. The murder haa created trcmenduous excitement and a large crowd of agitated humanity surrounds tho morgue where the body was taken. A further examination reveals the fact that there was no blood on the ground where the body wns found, nor was thero any indication of a struggle. This confirms the general belief that the woman was murdered in a house and her body taken to tho spot where it was discovered, The trunk was eut and torn and a bloody chemise waslyingnearit. Experts are of the opinion that tho woman was killed two days ago. Three sailors subsequent to the discovery of the body were found sleeping in an adjoining arch. Thev were arrested but convinced tho police thoy had neither seen or heard anything of the murderer of the body lying near them and were discharged, MR. YATE8' CABLE. Lo-sdon, Sept. 10.—Princo Albert Victor is to attend tho German autumn mniHBuvors next year, and also thoae of the Austrian-Hungarian army, Tlio Duoheas of Cumberland has arrived at Sohloss on a viait to the queen of Denmark, having travelled direct from Omundon, by way of Lubeck. This is the first viait the duchess has paid to Denmark for several years, as she has uot been the guest of her parents since her Illness. I hear from Copenhagen there have beon some stormy scenes at Fredensburg since tho arrival oftho czar, who has been rendered furious by the projected be- throthat of Prince Christian of Denmark, the eldest son of the crown ptinoe, to Princess Margaret of Russia, tho youngest sister of the Emperor William. Nu marriage could possibly be more obnoxious to the Russian oourt, as it will absolutely preclude all hopo of Demniul* taking part against Germany iu caso of war and the czar has always boen accustomed to regard Denmark as a portion of hia own dominions. THE ROYAL YACHT, The appointment to thu command of the royal yacht Osborne, has not yet been filled. It is no secret that Prince Louia of Battenburg.hns been pressed toaxopt it. Prince Edward Saxo* Weimer is to retain the command of the troops in Ireland until Oct, 1800. He la exceedingly popular in Dublin, and is, I hear, happy and comfortable there. Although there have been moro than once reports that he was likely to resign his command of the troops, nothing has transpired to jus* tify thia rumor, THE CZAR PANICKY. We may hear any day, after the German autumn mancouvers are over, that the czar has left Fredensberg for Potadam. Tho uncertainty and mystery about his visit are due to the fact that, a rumor recently reached St. Petersburg of another plot to assaesin- ato his majesty, who consequently is in a state of panic, THE BAItniUOr.S SHAH. The emperor- uf Austria, tho arch duko and his relations, would hnvo been nearly mad, I am told, if the Shah had stopped in their country for another weok. His ostentatious in- differonco was regarded in Vienna and' Pesth ns downright barbamm. OltE.VT TIDES. New York, Sept. 10.*—Tho greatest tido ever experienced struck Cony Island at 0 o'clock this morning, and in* creased in volume nnd fury until long past 8 o'clock, Constornation reigned supremo everywhere. Tho water poured iu volumes underneath the Manhattan beach hotel floor, and beds were inundated fully a foot. All of tho lamp posts which bordered the path noxt to the aoa have been literally torn from thoir foundations and bent nnd broken as if they wero straws and dashed against tho music stand. The concrete wall directly in front of the big building was undermined and torn away and the bulkhead haa been torn ap and rent asunder. The cellar of tho hotel at 8 o'olook this morning had five foet of water in it, the little strips of land between the Brighton nnd Manhattan hotels has been eaten away, and the ocean and Sheepshead Bny is conneoted by fully five feet of water. The Manhattan and Oriental hotels stand by themselves on a little island that is fast boing eaten away. WIND AND WATER. Nbw York, Sept. 10.—Great damage waa dono by the winds and high tides at Coney Island on Sunday and laat night. The greater part of the "Concourse" was washed away, and the water got to the basement of the Manhattan beach hotel. The marine railway was iwept away laat night. ANOTHRR CONFERENCE. London, Sept, 9.—Negotiations for the termination of the striko continue. The only queition is the date when tho termB shall go into effect. The conference waa held in the Mansion house; the lord mayor presided, and Burns and 'fillet t wero present. Tho meeting adjourned until to-morrow. In the meantime the strike goes on and the situation remains unchanged. WINUOM WILL EXPLAIN. Wabhinoion, Sept. 9.—Secretary Windom haa prepared a statement, which will be made publio later, allowing the purchase of bonds by this administration with the prices paid therefor, aud also giving various reasons for tho increase of publio dobt as shown by the statement of August, QORED BY A HULL, Ottawa, Sopt. 9.—Yesterday aftornoon a fearful accident happened on the exhibition grounds. Tho men iu charge of Mr. Ruyburn's hurd of Jerseys, from St. Anne, Quobec, were engaged in feuding thom, and onu of them, namod Joe Elliott, wan iu thu act of placing a pail of mash beforo an aged bull, when the brute gorged him in the Ride, the horn penetrating the lung. Medical aid was immediately sent tor and the poor fellow was conveyed to the hospital. He is still living but oan scarcely recover. Elliott is an English emigrant, being with his present employer about 2 years. He is ubout 28 years of age. the appointment op q. c'u. Toronto, Sept. 9.—The question whether the federal or provincial governments have the right to tho ap* Sointment of queen's counsels, says the fail this morning, is at least likely to be determined. Mowat is said to be considering a case that will bring the matter to an issue, Although of special interest to the legal profession, tho aubject is one of far wider importance involving questions of local and foderal jurisdiction under the B. N. A. act of great moment to all the provinces. A I'lLOMM CHOKED. Quebec, Sept 9.—Jean Routland, a Silgrim on the way to St. Anne, from faine, was choked to death with a pioee of meat while eating hia dinner. the o, a's. visit. Ottawa, Sept. 9.—The governor general's private secretary has telegraphed to Mayor Grant of Victoria, B. C, that his excellenoy and party will be unable to arrive at Viotoria before October 12th or thereabouts. SIR JOHN A. Ottawa, Sept. 9.—Sir John A. Macdonald left to-day to open the exhibition at Toronto. DEWDNEY HONORED. Banquet to the Hon. Edgar Dewdney, Minister of the Interior, a Complete Success. WestminBter Turns Out Nobly and Does Honor to the Grand Old Timer. Between eighteen of the principal oities of Great Britain a telegraphic money order service went into operation the other day. The method varies from the regular routine of the mail money order system in that the receiving olerk endorses the order "to be sent by telegraph," At the post- off co wltert) payment is to be made tbo recipient identifies himself, gives the name of tho remitter, and at once secures the cash. This is a great advantage in the postal service; but we oan hardly expect Mr. Haggart to plagiarize it for our benefit yot.—Mail. Dr. Hammond, of elixir fame, tells a pretty good story about himself. He had a wealthy patient who imagined he had swalowed a chicken bone, and that it had stuck in his stomach, making it sore. Ho know it was there. The doctor knew it wns not; he also know that ib must be removed or his patient would never recover. He injected apo-morphia hypodermically. In two or three minutes the patient was in the throes. The doctor had provided a chicken bone, and while his patient was struggling the hardest he dropped it just before him unobserved. Ho had "known that it was there all the time." For this tho doctor never received a oent, though his enemies said ho got a thousand dollars for his little deception. One of Mr, Gladstone's conversational advantages is that he has known every celebrated person for fifty years, and has endless reminiscences of all of them. On one occasion at a dinner party somebody was illustrating the Duke of Cambridge's remarkable command of damnatory rhetoric. The Duke has a fierce temper, and at review ono day he made a forciblo observation about a certain officer's eyes. The officer promptly rtqunated him to confine Ins objurgation to his own eyes. "Yes," said Mr. Gladstone, "but the Duke of Cambridge is mild compared with his uncles. 1 remember the old Duke of Cumberland, who was famous for his habit of garnishing other people's remarks with his own oaths. When the the first bill for the abolition of churoh rates came before the House of Lords, the Duke was asked to oxpress to the Archbishop of Canterbury the wish of the majority that he should move its rejection. Off went the Duke with this commission. Presently he returned, and in a loud voice, for he was rather deaf, exclaimed : 'The Arohbishop says he will be devoted to everlasting fire if he does not work the rejection of the bill,'" It need scarcely be said that tho language which his Grace of Cumberland professed to quote from his Grace of Canterbury has been some somewhat softened,—Ex. A Night of Perfect Enjoyment, Brilliant Speeches, Popular Toasts, and Good Songs. The banquet to tbe Hon. Edgar Dewdney laat night at the Colonial Hotel wus indeed a grand success, aud never in the history of the Royal Oity did tho people turn out more unanimously or more willingly thun on the present occasion. It was to honor an old timer, an old Caribooite, an old citizen and an old and steadfast friend of the province at large, that the people of Westminster assembled last uight i an^ the guest of the evening muit iwto appreciated the feelings, spontaneous and unselfish, that prompted the many tributes of love and respect he received, It was a gathering long to be remembered in the Royal City, and to the old pioneers of the province who graced the board it wu a reminder of the dangers, hardships, struggles and victories of the glorious past. Shortly after 9 o'clock the doon of the dining room were thrown open and Mayor Townsend, escorting the guest of the evening, entered the room followed by tbe guests, two by two. The board was set ln most convenient form, one table running the full length of the room, while at right angles to, and adjoining It, was a row of small tables. On the right of Mayor Townsend sat the guest of the evening, Hon. Edgar Dewdney, and Mr. LB. Fisher, and on the left Mr. D. Chisholm, M.P., and Mr. W. H. Ladner, M. P. P. Ex-Mayor Dickinson filled the vice-chair, and was supported on one side by Reeve Kirkland of Ladners and by Mr, B. Douglas on the other. The scene, when all were seated, was strikingly handsome. Vases and pots of beautiful flowers graced the tables in profusion, whleh together with the pyramids of fruit, moulds of jellies, dishes of bright confections, and the many other attractive features with which the table was adorned, presented a picture at once novel, pretty and fascinating. The menu was large and varied, the cooking excellent, and on the whole the spread did ample had worked for weeks wo thought fully a hundred tons had been out and stacked, but when Mr. Armstrong came down and measured it and only found Iii tons you can imagine our feelings (great laughter). Having met with, so little success as a farmer, I returned to Westminster. The second sale of town lots was about to take place and a Viotoria auctioneer came op to do the business. But the people of the Royal City were as loyal then as they are now and they sent the Victorian back saying tbey would find a local man to conduct the sale. One day while dining with Ool. &oody he aaked me if I had evor been an auctioneer; I said I had not but would not mind trying my hand at it. He recommended me to Goverm-r Douglas and 1 was appointed to conduct the Bale. The sale was a sucoeei, for I sold $360,000 worth of pre petty in one day. (Great applause). With the profits of thia sale 1 built an office and went into the real out ito business, but this did not pan out Well bo 1 lott for the mines and worked there surveying. Business was so good with me that I made 910,000 in three months. Next I took contracts from the government for road building, and built a portion of tho Yale wagon road. After I was through with tliis work I had a lot of lioraea on my hands, so I went into tht paokinq busiocss. from Yale to Cariboo, and I never felt a prouder man in my life than when I concluded a contract tu pack goods to the mines at 75 cents per pound; but I felt pretty miserable later bn when I left 46 horses doad in the snow. I returned to Westminster and shortly left the province. Later you sent me to parliament to represent this district, and I did a* woll as I possibly could for you. While T was still representing you I was offered an important position in the Northwest, and I accepted it. The Toronto Globe said 1 had sold myself and my constituents (cries of not nol). As it turned out my constituents were plensed with my promotion. I had a difficult task before me in the Northwest, but I ae-. complished it. The Indians were then fierce and warlike, but I went; among them-unarmed and without -escort and iu a very short time 1 gained their respect, I did sll I conld to better the conditions of the Indians and they knew it and appreciated it. These In* disns are now all ln a prosper ms condition. Before my term of office expired I was offered the governorship of the territories, whioh I accepted and held until I was appointed minister of the interior. When Hon. Mr. Whito died it was generally thought that a western man should get thu vacant portfolio, one who knew the country and the people, and who would there* fore know how to deal with the busi- justico to the well-known reputation I DeM 0t the department. Sir John was The Empire says the minister of marine and fisheries has received a despatch from Ool, E. G. Prior. M.P., of British Columbia, which states that by the treaty of 1824 Russia had no right to anything under parallel 54" 40'' latitude, and that when the United States purchased Alaska they purchased what wss above this parallel. Both Ounalaaka and the Aleutian Islands are below the parallel, Col. Prior asks that these statements be placed beforo tho imperial authorities. Children Cryfor' PHcWittaorla of the Oolonial. After ample justice hid been done to the more substantial part of the bill of fare the chairman proposed "tho queen" aud the vice-chairman tbe "Prince of Wales and royal family," which wen drunk in the usual loyal manner. The toast n«t in order was the governor-general of Uauadaand the lieut.-governor o! British Columbia, rhich was receivad with "they ate jolly good fellows." - . Mayor Townsend, amidst much enthusiasm rose to his feet and proposed tho toast of the evening, "tbo Dominion government and parliament of Canada," coupled with the lames of the Hon, Edgar Dewdney and Mr. D. Chisholm. fn proposing the toast the chairman referred briefly to Hon. Mr. Dewdney'a life in British Columbia, his good work on our behalf and tho great interest he haa always manifested sn the province. Mr Chliholm's untiring efforts on behalf of hts constituents were also handsomely acknowledged. "They are jolly (food fellows" was sung with gnat spirit, ending with three timea three and a "tiger." Heu. Edgar Dewdney on rising was greeted with a tumult of applause, and cheor after oheer made the air ring again. When the applause final, ly subsided tbe honorable gentloman aaid: Mr chairman and gentlemen, I have to thank you for the very kind manner in whioh you have received Mrs. Dewdney and myself on our present visit After the long trip I made to-day I will not tu you with a lengthy speech, more espeeislly aa my friend Mr. Chisholm i, to follow ne, and whose oratorical powers are greater than mine. I am an old timer and came to the province by way of Panama, aa many ol my old friends came about the same tin,, If I recollect right I arrived in British Columbia in 1859. Many others arrived a year or two afterwards, eame overland, and many of you who came across the continent by rail in a ccsmfortible palace car can scarcely appreciate what the brave and hardy pioneers had to contend with. I well remember the day, now over itO years ago, when I flrst landed ln Westminster. There were only three tents on tbe townsite then, and theso gave little evidence of the greater tlsiugs in store. I take pride in this oity because I came here in the early days and took my part in building ita foundation of prosperity. (Ap- plsuse). 1 assisted in the survey ol the townsite, under Col. Moody, and forthe time I wss under military orders. For this work I was paid in 920 gold pieces, and I never was ao proud in my life as when I walked down from Sapperton jingling this money—tbe first I bad ever earned in my life (groat applause). Then I decided to go into farming and formed a partnership with another green Englishman and an experienced Canadian farmer. Ihad the capital and the Oanadian had the experience, but when the firm dissolved a little later neither of us had any capital, but both plenty of experience. We left town one night about 10 o'olock in an old oanoe for our farm, down on the Delta, and had not proceeded far when our craft ran aground and there we remained until daylight, We reached our destination all right and started operations. The first thing done waa to aet out a small garden, but we knew nothing ol spring tides and one morning the water came up and overflowed our vegetables. Then we wanted a well for fresh water and we dug one. It seemed strange that we did not have to go far for water, for lota slowed in and we (ound it to be salt chuck Then we took a contract from Ool, Moody t leading merchant. Aim wa of this opinion, and although many professional politicians pressed tbeir claims, be said "No, a western man must have the Vacancy." I was given the portfolio, and now, after one year's service, 1 havo received thti'kindest and- most hospitable treatment at every point whero I have stopped on my journey , across the continent. Mr. mayor and', gentlemen, I will always remember . the kindness 1 hare received since my arrival here. I Juivo nlw.iys taken as lively intorest in this city islsd always will; and Iv. ill do all lean in Ins, house to lsolp you. I uui glad to see the prosperity tho city evinces on . every side. Your Industrie., tt. all in a flourishing condition. The government is only too glad to meet the wishes of the people of British Columbia iu every way, and I will be baok in Ottawa in a few weeka and ao, gen- tlemiiii, if you havo any axea to grind, ssow iB tho timo to apeak out. Before concluding I may say if any constituents have a oonaciencioua reisrosenta- tive, you have in Mr. Cbislu lm. Ho works honestly and persevecingly in your behalf, and never does he neglect oven the most trifling mi.tter that affects your interest 1 hope to seo him in Ottawa again noxt session renewed in strength and spirits. (Long and continued applause.) Mr. Chisholm on rising was greeted with cheers. He ssid: I am glad to see so many here to-night to honor Mr. Dewdney. I am glad also to see so many old faces present, for 1, too, am an old pioneer of the province and have packed my blankets like so many more of you, Tho hon. minister of the interior hu alwaya doms well in the many important positions he has occupied* I am satisfied he 11 a friend of British Columbia, and I a suro yon he ia a warm friend too. In sehulf of the parliament of Canada. I tlsank you for the toast, Canada may well be proud of her parliament, w'sich is a body of men as intelligent as that whioh rules over the destinic* of any nation, not excepting the imperial commons (applause). The great work that Canada has accomplished, under the government of Sir John A. Miu- donald, the construction of the Canadian Pacific railway, la tbe wonder of the world. And credit must be given also to the people who won bold enough to support such a gigantio aoheme. I support the pnsent government because I believe it to be the boat we could have; it is a progressive natty, and a party that iB rapidly bringing Canada to tbe front among the other nationa. Mr. mayor and gentlemen, I thank you for the handsome manner in whioh you hare drunk * the toast. (Greatapplause.)

Dowdney sits in the Dominion Houso as tho representative of ii Northwest constituency, he is nono the less a British Columbian—and u "pioneer" at thut —and this fact would bu a sufficient reason for tho compliment of n publio dinnor, whicli wtw paid him last night. Tho first British Columbian who has attained u soat in tho Dominion cabinet, it is natural that hu , should be honored by British Columbians, who, although the province is only their "stop-mother," generally develop a fair article of provincial patriotism (if wo may so express it) beforo tbey havo been long resident on the right side of the Kockies, and are by no moans slow about hurrahing for their adopted country, and for those whoso attainments and achievements reflect honor upon it. But while all this might be said of any British Columbian who had won his w*y into the central executive, thero is an element hi New Westminster's compliment to Mr. Dewdney v. Inch is of a personal nature. Among thoae whose recollection of provincial affairs goes back tothe middle years of tho 70s, ho is not so muh the minister of the interior, as the champion of Now Westminster's side in the long "battle of the routes." We say New Westminster's side, because the Royal City was then the only important centre of population favorable to tho adoption cf tho Fraser route. Outside of thi.. city, but ono newspaper (the Cariboo Sentinel) was published on tho mainland, and the Sentinel advocated the Bute Inlet route. To-day, the large and influential communities of Vancouver and New Westminster, with their widely circulated daily papers, backed by the vigilant Sentinel of Kamloops, might well consider themselves more than a match for any tiling inimical to the inti-reats of the lower mainland; but twelve or thirteen years ago, when one little town with a couple of semi-weekly papers of small circulation; aided only by the sympathy of a few inland villages,' hhrf to bear the brunt of the battle against the daily press and powerful influence oi. the capital, such an outspoken, able, and thoroughly well posted' champion as Mr. Dewdney proved himself to be, counted for a whole battalion in the fight. Tho new paper has found its tongue at last, and greetings come irom Church street; but tho utterances aro a little hasty and incoherent, and display a remarkable ob tutidity on some points. We havo no intention of defending The Columbian against the stupid "chestnuts" whicli our original Q}_ cotem. tires off, or indued. to notico any of its utterances with respect to this paper, but merely to correct a very muddlod impression whioh is painfully apparent on a point or two, and'wljich clearer brains and oven a an mi I share of common senso must hive saved tho editorial head from becoming tangled with. We refer to the insufferable stupidity of the new paper, displayed in ita editorial this morning, in supposing that any remarks of Tuk Colum bun referred in any senso to tho person.,^ of tho morning journal. Wo vould say once and for ull, and mtutoab as emphatic ua possiblo, that Our-vnther fresU eotem. fror*. th& mountains Wy net repeat the palpable blunder, that Tub Columbian knows nothing nor uaros nothing about the religious views nr private conduct of the per sonntl \/% fehu Truth staff, from thu c-diti.r-iii-chicf to tho dovil. The paper itself is tho entity wo have to doat with, and the Church street print ought to havo known that, and not to have made itself ridiculous, ai> it did this morning, by talking about the religious views of its editor and defending its stall' from imaginary imputations as to their gentlemanly behavior. Thuy may be aU gentlemen for all we know, we trust they are, and are perfectly willing to believe such to hn tho case. Again, we say, it is with the paper Truth and its utterances that we hnve to do, not with tho individuals that may happen to composo its staff, We would just Bay a word aliout thu foolish parting fling of lhe new paper, that of its staff "no one of thom has obtruded himself on This Columman." This is not so creditable to the stall' in question iu our cotem. imagines, and it should have known better than to have mado tho boast; for it could only have been through ignorance or disregard of ordinary journalistic amenities that tho heads of the staff, at least, failed to make a oivil eall at this office, whore they might have known they would have beeu civily received. Wo havo no quarrel with the staff of the . now paper, but wo have treated tho paper itself on its merits, aud have givon it some good advico, which we are glad to note has not been alto* gether thrown away, as there has already been a toning down of some "fresh" and obnoxious features. There is still "room for improvement," however. Experience teaches. Boulanger, like last season's drowned dog, to plagiarize from Ourlylo, wo believe it is, Continues to float up and down with tho tido, and will not disappear wholly from tho public view, although his odor is not now particularly savory cither witli his compatriots or the great disinterested world at large. The bravo general, it is said, declares that ho will return to France and take part iu the general elections this fall, even though a visit to his beloved country may lose him his liberty of person This sounds courageous, but hitherto the genoral has not been conspicuous for his bravery. It is hardly probable, it is thought, that Boulanger will carry his alleged intention into execution. Tho mau who ran away when ho was about to bu tried will hardly hasten back after his conviction, unless, indeed, tho means of whitewashing him, provided through a party success, aro at hand. But it is difficult to understand how, if tho electorate has any conscience, tho necessary victory can bo secured, remarks an exchange, which gives tho following comprehensive resume of Boulanger's crookednesses, for all of which he has recently been condemned by tho French senate: Boulanger's partisans claim, it is true, that their hero, the man who is to place tho republic upon a firmer and purer foundation, is no worso than his cotemporaries on the other side. But this excuse is a poor substitute for the plea of "not guilty." It happens, however, that tho charges against Boulanger have something more to back them than mere hearsay. They are not all politicians' stories. Tako, for example, tho evidence in the epau* lette job. Gen. Lewan, minister of war, had issued an order abolishing epaulettes in tho army, Boulanger was then in command at Tunis, and he had for jackal, or "heeler," a man named Buret. When the order was issued, a certain contractor namod Dupuy was left with a very large stock of epaulettes on hand. It was therefore of the last importance to him to get the order rescinded or postponed. So he applied to Buret, and promised him two cents a pair on all his (Dupuy's) stock if he influenced Boulanger to got the order cancelled. Buret undertook tho job and wont to Boulanger, but. Boulanger was apparently, cautious, and wanted a guarantee, or "anchor to windward," bo I)npuy wrote Buret the following letter: "I am sure you personally lmve completo contidence iu my word, but possibly your friend"—moaning Boulanger—"may not havo that confidence, and I accordingly meet ull doubts by telling you that I am ready to write you a letter making a positive engagemf nt in any terms you please." In another letter to Buret ho Baid: "Come and seo mo after your visit to the groat chief [le grand nkef]," aud in still another: "You know thero will be twenty contimes a pair for you." Then G-en. Boulanger went to work, and aa a res-alt of hia mediation the order was postponed, arid Dupuy was enabled to sell his stock, the general, it is admitted, enjoying the coaamSasion. Then it appears that Boulanger shared in another co«mission-lS40.000 allowed by a contractor supplying coffee to the army- tlmt, while minister of war, he maintained an advertising bureau which distributed forty-ono difforent chromo-portrudis uf himself at the public exfttuct-; that ho spent $00,000 of the. secret service money of the war tfepart- ment on party organs or. journals engaged to puff him; thai;he-spent $30,000 of tho secret service money on a military club j that just before leaving the war department he took §6,000 for himself;, that lie paid off while in offico $12,000 of debts without any visible accession of fortune , that he furnished an apartment ha*iidsouiely with the public monoy • that he conspired with lloch'dferil and others to get up a ri'-t, ftt}. the Lyons station when he T-«a* leaving Paris; that he camo secretly to Paris from Clermont- Ferrand without, leave* that he prepared a coup d'etat when M. Gravy was going out of office; that he got up a plebiscitary campaign after lea vine; the army; and that he was in possession of largo sums of money, the source of which he dared not reveal, Boulanger has denied somo of the accusations; but those relating to tho secret service money he practically admits, pleading that it is customary to steal, and further-, that "part of the money was used to procure the theft by night of this private papers of the military attache of tho great powers." The denials, where made, however, go for little, as evidence in support of overy charge is adduced. ,, ... \ 1011 for Kill Miss Prrbleis WII.1.

Whether this provision was ever carried out is doubtful, but it is certain that the skeleton was preserved, and may be seen to this day in the hospital museum, i A wealthy German who died the other day bequeathed his effects to a poor man whom he greatly disliked on condition that ho always wore linen under-elothes and dressed In white, and a short time ago • Stanislaus Poltmorz, a Hungarian, left the greater port of his fortune to a notary nnmed Lots, forbidding him, however, to tako possession until he had sung at La Scuta Opera House, tbe parts of Verdi's "Otollo"andElvirein"Somnambula;"while John Reed, the gas-lighter of the Walnut Street Theater, Philadelphia, directed that his head, after being duly prepared, should bo employed to represent tho skull of ' Yorlck in "Hamlet," ■*-*. • ■■-.*.

Peter Browne, should under penalty of forfeiting a consiil- erable estato, change his Christian name, "Peter," for either "William" or "James," theold gentleman having taken an inveterate dislike to his son's namo, while a rich saddler ordered In hiB will that his daughter . should loso tho whole of ber fortune if sho did uot marry a saddler.

Both tha corn-bin and the bed- i post are filed In tho will oflloe at Doctor's * Commons, London. The whimsical will of 1 tho. Scotch gentleman, who bequeathed to i onuh of his daughters her weight In one* *} pound notes, has of ten been quoted.

Tho sale was actually held, and tho . ■ seventy-one purchasers found in tho right* hand pocket the neat littlo sum of a thousand dollars ln cash.

The cat ** is a big black Tom, with long whiskers, a short tail, and yellow eyes. The rat is a sl.-sk and fat specimen of the genus rodent, uud has a cunning but prosperous and con* tented look. The oat Is fierceness and savagery Itself, and bears the scars of innumerable battles, not alone with rats and Dt hor felines, but with dogs as well, and ho bus nover been whipped and nevor been known to decline a fight The rat was o. iif-iitin a wiro trap one night last week. ho was so uncommonly large and looked so ugly aa ho stood upon his hind logs and ruUlcd tho wires of his cage that his captors resolved to have somo sport with bim and Tom.

Throo Liidioa Wlm P» Not Havo to liiiy Puslage Stamps. Thero oro but three persons In tho United States, othor than those holding public offico, who are allowed to receive and send mail matter free of postage, writes a Washington correspondent. These threepersons are tho widows of the Unto Presidents Folk, Garfield and Grant. An net of Congress is required to grant this prlviiogo to any ono, and it has been so granted to the widows of Presidents since 1830, whon the first act was passed conferring tho distinction u.-.on Mrs. Dolly P. Madison. According to tho United Btates Postal Laws und Regulations, which is a compilation of the rules published for tho information and guidance of postmasters and other officials, Mrs. Tyler was not entitled to the benefits of franking mail matter, and It Is truo tliat no law was ovor passed iu hor caso. Sho was, ia a Bense, a victim of ono of Lhoso peculiar oversights of Congrass which aro of frcquont occurrence. Tbo Post-Office Department howovor, appreciating tho factthatMrs. Tylerwas In oquity entitled to tbo same privilege which had by law been granted to Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Garfield and Mrs. Grant, accepted hor frank iu lieu of pobtago and collected nothing upon mattor mailed to her addross. There is a rather peculiar fact connected with the case of Mrs. Folk also. Tho act granting her tho privilege of freo postage was passed in 1830. Since that dato all laws conferring tho frankingprlvilege havo bceu onco or twice repealed; tbe last timo In 1873, and no aot has since beon passed In favor of Mrs. Polk. There Is no law on tho statute books to-day, therofore, entitling her to tho benefits of free postage, but it is allowed ber arbitrarily by tho department, and tho Postal Laws and Regulations namo her as ono of tho persons legally entitled to the benefits of tho franking law. It Is not generally known that tho law extending tho franking privilego to those ladies also provides explicitly that mail matter, including letters, newspapers and packages addressed to thorn, is exempt from tho payment of postage, Tho only explanation of this somewhat peculiar provision of law is that when Congress passed the first of these private acts It failed to notico that free postage to thesenders of mail conforred no sort of benefit upon tbo persona addressed. Mrs. Polk, for Instance, is not benefited in the slightest degree becauso some person who wishes to writo her a letter is not required to affix & stamp to it Yet when tho laws Jn favor of all the President's widows who camo after Mrs. Polk were passed, tho samo language was used and stands upon tho statute books to-day. A sort of fatality in the direction of making mistakes seems to havo followed tho course of law-making on tho subject of the franking privilego, aud tho most stupendous blunder of all that Congress made In tho flrst general aot passed has nover yet been corrected. This Ib tho failure to provide a penalty for a violation of the law. Although thero have been as- many as fifty franking* privilego acts passed'! by Congress since 1870, not ono of them-'provides any penalty for their infringement or evasion. Thia very singular oversight lsac'ftuso of much inconvenience and annoyancoto tho postal officials, and because of it very few arrests have beon mado, although tho ono ur franks by unauthorized persons and on uufniuka-' bio matter is of very frequent occurrence. . * FEMININE FOOT-WEAR. Tight Siloes as Popular as Kvor-A Reform Nfio-lutl Badly. "Why do women wefir tight Bhocs1"was asked a leading State i tree _ boot-maker for the fair sex by a Chicago Tribuno roportor. "Becauso they nro foolish," he replied "That Is tho only answer I can mako, but li I wero to try to convinco my customers of tho fact I would lose their trado. The ladies aro particular about their pet vanity and they pay a great doal of attention to anobby aud snug-fitting shape." "What aro tho affects of wearing tight shoesV" was asked of another maker. "The offects are corns and diseased and crippled feet and continual misery. Women buy tight shoot*, becauso thoy aro vain. Nine outof ten of tho ladies who como in hero tell the clerks they want shoos tliat nm at least ono sizo too small for them. By dint of strotching and the use of powdered soap- stone many aro enabled to got on and wear away shoes that aro halt a size or a bIzo too 'small for them; tuitoccaslonallyonoiscoin- pelled to tako tho propor sizo for her feet, but it Is at a sacritico of her vanity, and tlio physical comfort onjoyod does not/socm to compensate! hor for her apparent mental discomfort, A great many 1 -idles insist on having shoos from special lasts that in no wiso match tho tslmpo of their feot, and, as a rule, thoy aro the kind who want hlgii heels, although the stilt-like underpinning has largely gono out of fashion. Tho evils of high heels are, of courso, well known." "Most of our lady customers buy shoos tbat aro too small for thom," sold another dealer. "Tho babit of wearing tight shoos is as bad as the Chinese practice of band- aging and deforming tbe foot, of their female Infants. Tbe red Indium, of America and tho uatlves of Africa can give civilisation instruction Iu respt-t-t, to proper eore of tbo feot. The natives nover too out but put their feot forward in n perfectly straight lino when walking. Livingston-.', in his writings on Africa, relates how the natives laughed at tbe shape of the whito man's feet which they attributed to the boots they woro. Tho Crow Indians make their moccasins to too in instead of out; tboy walk porfeotly straight and have finely formed fret, Thero are ladies of my ae* quaintance who are almost confirmed Invalids, and their ailments wero brought about by wearing tight, high-heeled shoes, which throw their body forward and caused thom to toe outward ln walking. Many of my lady customers aro such sufferers from corns that they do not like to go out of tho house and are in misery all of the time whon walking, yot thoy will not forego their vanity and wear a sensible, easy- fitting, broad-soled, low-heeled shoo. Some of them do not venture to walk at all, and only go out in their carriages or upon short expeditions whoro tha streetcars can bo utilised for almost the ontiro distance thoy desire to travel, I notico that a great deal is said about dress reform for women, aud hopo all contemplated reforms include tlio important matter of foot-wear. Of courso, It makes no dlfforonco to us; tho prices would remain the same wero the fashion to change, but wo have to supply the demand or go out of buslnois, and It is undeniable that as far as the ladies aro concerned tho greatest demand Is for tight shoes," The Hole In the Walt A gentloman who has recently returned from quito a long trip through "the land of the Aztocs" has boon giving somo interesting details of his experiences to his friends. Among other things ho sold that when he was ln the City of Mexico be was shown through some anelont buildings—convents and jails—that were erected by the Span- lards several centuries ago. In the wall of one of tbeBO ancient edificos he saw a small opening; so ho naturally inquired of bis Mexican guido what purpose it Borved, Ho was told that tt was ono of thoso building In which criminals wore walled up olive But what was the use of the holo in tho wall!" ho asked. ."Well, aonor," repllod the guido, "as long as the prisoner lived his food was handed to him on a plate and he handed back the empty plate through tbo hole; but when tho prisoner handed baok tbe plate with tbo food on it untouched then the jailer knew that ho was dead already and didn't give bim any moro."

[From FlrotPngel Another Interview* A deputation composed of Mcasrs. D. Dockatoador, N. Oliver and J. M. Webster, representing Haney and Wharnoek, came down and waited on tho Hon. Mr. Dowdney yestorday for the purpoae of placing before him tho necessity of tho Dominion government oponing up a road from these two centres, to the vast tract of agricultural land in tho Stave Lako Valley. Mr. Dewdney said it waa the first request of the kind that had boen made and he thought it was tho business of tho provincial government to build this road; but the deputation pointed out that inasmuch as these lands woro in tho 20-mile belt nnd the Dominion government was Belling both lands ahd timber it should build this road. Mr. Chisliolm M, P., also acquised in this view, and the hon. minister promised to give tho matter his consideration and when in Victoria seo if something oould not be done by the two governments iu tho way of undertaking the work. Thedopu* tation loft woll pleased with tho courteous manner iu which thoy had been received and thu way in which Mr. Chisholm had assisted them. They will at an early dato bring tlio matter before tho bonrd of trado aud ask that body to use its inlluonce to open up this benutiful prairie section of the district. A Woir In Sheep's Clothing. Wm. Harvey, janitor of the Seamen's Bethel, Port Townsend, has skipped out with considerable funds belonging to the organization. He was a man of temperate habiti and his eonduct appears all the movo strange because ho identified himself with tho church some time ago nnd professed to having experienced conversion. Ho took an active part in religious and temperance meetings. Ho left Port Townsend hibt Wednesday ostensibly to pay u shot t visit to Victoria and to return home on Monday. On that day, however, ho left on the Umatilla for San Francisco, and It was on the discovery of this that suspicion was lirst aroused against him. Tho Port Townsend Call saya: "A fow days boforo his departure for Victoria a number of sailors deposited about $325 with him for safe keeping, and a guld watch belonging to a citizen had been given to him as security for a loan of $25, tho value of tho watch being at least 885 ; it is also Btated that he had two more watches in his possession, that had been entrusted to his caro. The monoy and the gold watches he took with him to Victoria. Upon arriving in Victoria he deposited $300 with Airs. Mitchell, late of this oity, who conducts a lodging house in Viotoria, fur Aafo keeping. This monoy he drew befure he departed for San Francisco Monday night on the Umatilla." The chief of police in San Francisco has been telegraphed to apprehend him.—Times. Children Cryfor Pltcher'sCastorla PERSONAL. Miss Cochrane, who has been visit- ing friends in this city and Victoria for some weeks, left for Kamloops to da***, via Vancouvor, where sho will re main a fow days, Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Grant, of Kingston, wore in tho city yestorday and giii's-ii at the Queens. Dr. Grant wns invited to remain over and attend tho meeting of tho Presbytery and to lecturo on Imperial Federation, but pressing engagements would not permit of bo long a stay. Hon. Edgar Dowdney, accompanied by Air.*. Dowdney, left for Victoria this aftornoon, via. Vancouver. A largo number of Mr. Dewdney's old friends gathered at tho station, and ub tno train rolled out they gave him a hearty farewell In tho shape of threo ringing cheers. LATE CANADIAN NEWS. P. H. Stevenson, president of the New Brunswick Railway Company, died yesterday, aged 04. A. M. Davidson, a prominont organ manufacturer, of Ridge town, Ont., died Sunday evening of heart disease, Tho Fort MoLeod Gazette reports tho discovery of a rich deposit of silver in the mountains north of the boundary lino which will assay $250 per ton; also tho discovery of cannol coal in another part of tho mountain. An Indian arrived at Selkirk from Lako Winnipeg Sunday night and reported that he found two bodies that had been washed ashoro, One ol the bodies ho recognized ns that of Jamos Burkett who had been working ai Crowes'Mills, Fisher river, About two weeks ago several of the mill hands started for Winnipeg in tail boats, accompanied by Rev, Mr. Mo* HafBe, but up to the present havo not arrived and it is feared they were caught in a storm on last Sunday night. No trace of lho Indian can be found to get exact particulars and much anxiety is felt Rev. Mr, McHnfllo in tho Methodist missionary at Fisher river. Hon. Air. Dewdney proposed the healths of tho mayor nnd corporation, nnd asked everyone to fill his glass and drink heartily, fur it was a woll managed city, stood well in linancial circles and boro an excellent reputation abroad. Aluyor Townsend said it alForded him great pleasure to reply to this toaBt. Westminster had launchod out pretty extensively this year, hut it was necessary. Water works wero required and other improvements were in progress which would result in the city keeping pace with its enterprising neighbors. Air. Townsond said he also was an old pioneer, having arrived in the province 32 years ago, and he prided himself on being classed na ono of tho old timers of the early days. His worship was loudly cheered on taking his seat. Ex-Mayor Dickinson snid tho old corporation of Westminster had no reason to he ashamed of its record. It had paved tho way for the improvements now t'oing on. Ho had always worked hard for Westminster (a voico: "you havo"), and would always inter* est himself in everything tending to tho benefit nnd wolf aro of the city. Aldermen Curtis, Ewen, Jaques, Cunningham, Calbick and Keary also responded to tho toast Mr. J, 0. Armstrong proposed thu tonst "The pioneers of British Colum* bin," coupled with tho namo of Air. Dewdney. He said: But for ono man tho Canadian Pacific Railway would havo gono by the Bute Inlet route. Victoria worked for it, the government engineers favored itand but ono man held out iu favor of the Fraser river route, and that man was the Hon. Edgar Dowdney. He fought what is known as the "buttle of the routes," Bluck to his convictions and finally had tho satisfaction to win tho light. Had it not beon tor him where would Westminster be today? It is hard to tell. Ho fought that fight alone and gave us tho road, aud now the wholo world knows his theories wero right. (Great applause), Hon, Mr. Dewdney; I thank you again, gentlemen, for drinking my health, but thero are so many of the good old pioneers round tho board that I will leave it to them to reply to the toast. I might say regarding Mr. J. C. Armstrong that he is my old Cariboo partner—nnd that partnership was the only profitable one I had in tho mines. Wo owned a claim together and it was not panning out well and 1 was willing to part with my interest in it for a few hundred dollars, Mr. Armstrong told me to hold ou and not sell out, and I took his advice, A fow evenings afterwards he came to ine and drawing his hnnd from his pocket showed me a handful of nug* gets. "Thero," said he, "didn't I tell you it would pan out rich?" It did pan out rich nnd in 13 months I cleared $15,000 from this mine, As regards my action nt Ottawa iu regard to railway mutters, 1 cau only uny I acted eonsciontiuualy. I think thu time will come whon other railroads, apart from tho Southern Railway, will hu built iu this province, British Columbia is thu greatest pro- | vinoe iu tho wido Dominion, nud it must be developed (cheers). Tho only wuy thu immense tracts uf splendid country, lying to tho north, cau be laid open for settlement is by railroad construction—that alone will do it, and I predict that beforo many yeara you will have other huge railwny lines running across the breadth of tlm -province. After paying u glowing tribute to tho district of New Westminster tho speaker touk his Beat amidst thunders of applause, Mr. Jaa. A. Laidlaw ond Air. T. E. Ladner also responded, tho latter iu a very happy littlo speech. Tho agricultural, mining, manufacturing, lumbering, fishing and hanking institutions ol the country were pro* poaed by Mayor Townsond. Mr. W. H. Ladner, M. P. P., replied fur tho agricultural industry, Mr. Jaquoa for tho mining iudustry, Mr. Ewen for the fishing industry and Mr. Brymner fur the banking inRtitutiuns. The "Press" was received, and Mr, Lidner favored tho toast with a cheer* ful little song. Tho toast wns responded to by Mr. G. A. Kelly and Mr. F. R, Glover. Tho "Ladiea" elicited an unusually happy speech from Mr. Peter Grant, and Mr. M. Sinclair also proved him- Belf an able champion of tho gentler BOX. Mayor Townsend and Air. Moresby ench favored the company with songs which wero woll received. Thu Army nnd Navy and Volunteers, brought Capt. Peelo to his feet, and a very neat and appropriate reply to tho toast was given by him. Lieut. Mowat also did justice to the toast in a fow well chosen remarks concerning volunteer service. A very laughable Bong, "Donny- brook Fair," by Air. Levi, kept tho company in roars of laughter for a quarter uf an hour. Cheers for Mr, Dowdnoy, "God save tho Queen" and "Auld Lang Syne" brought this most successful nnd enjoyable banquet to an end. Chilliwack Council.
