SATURDAY, MAY 1S0S. THE CORBIN CHARTER Tho following comment on the defeat of the Corbin charter in the Commons, taken from the Spokane Spokesman-Review, is not only interesting bub instructive: "When the Corbin charter was pending betore the Dominion parliament, the Canadiau Pacific kicked up a great dust over Spokane's interest- in the matter. Icwas said that Spokane wanted tho road built that ib might draw away Canadian business" from Canadian interests. As a matter of tact, there will be little business in Boundary Creek until the country hag railroads, and the building of the Corbin line would have thrown three times as much new business to Canadians as it would have brought to Spokane. Spokane's real interest in the charter sprang from quite another consideration. It is anxious that the Colville reservation ou this side of the border should be put in connection with the railway systems otthe country, and it was feared that if Mr. Corbin failed to get the Boundary Creek charter he would nob build this "summer, into the reservation camp. Xow it i������ practically assured that the Spokane Falls et Northern will be built into Republic and other reservation camps, charter or no charter, and built at once. Spokane is almost indifferent to the ultimate fate of the.Bouodary Creek extension. Certainly it will lose a great deal less from the defeat of that measure than will be lost by the mining and business interests of Southern British Columbia, which have been sacrificed to Canadiau Pacific greed und monopoly. If Canada is deter- ���������__ih"e-l_to~try"the~Co"reau-policy-of non-intercourse, and expel railway carriers as China and Corea did vessels trying to ascend their rivers for trade, she will have the sympathy of tbis country but not its ill-will. A little experience on the other side of tbe line, a little patience on this side, and Canada will be glad enough to drop ber mistaken policy of exolusiveness. The following war telegram, posted in the office of a well known Toronto hotel the other day, caused quite an excitement in business circles: "Itis reported that tbe American squadron has just captured a Spanish scow laden with a bunch of bananas and two dozen Spanish onions. Later, (���������"> p. m.)���������Report continued, but a recount puts number of Spanish onions at one dozen instead of two.' Ifc is whispered that tlie Globe's special war correspondent has removed his headquarters from New York to Washington. He has found it necessary to do fo owing to a rumor tbat a Spanish vessel-had been seen some time ago in the Atlantic, and every experienced war correspondent knows tbat it is much easier to write despatches in a nice quiet neiehborbood than-where the air is filled with 13 inch projectiles moving hurriedly. Of course there maybe a little sen fighting going on in the Atlantic and some land land fighting at Cuba now and again, which the intrepid Globe correspondent- may not actually see, but lie can always rely on ths accuracy of the. reports |)i~bli<~hrd in such papers as the New York World or Nev"- York Journal whicli are easily obtainable and which publish all the news as well as denials every day. old James Yates, of Gait one of the est Oddfellows in Canada, is dead There is more joy in a printing oflice over'one subscriber who pays in advance and abuses the editor on every occasion.tbanovernirietyand nine who borrow the paper nnd sing its praises without contributing a solitary cent to keep it out of the poor house. In this much governed couutry over which Jubilee oratois Wiix so enthusiastic, where the cabinet outclasses (bem! numerically) lhe cabinets of lhe* great powers, .where everv fourth mnn you meet is connected directly or remotely with theGoveriiineut, and where t.he conditions are quiet, unsen- fatioiial and mossbucky, ii is a matter ofireiieniliistonishmentto the perplexed public how her statesnien always lind so much to talk about. The great puzzle in tbe halls of legislature seems lo be the thinking up ol becoming topics of discussion, bul, given lhe topic tliey nil let themselves loose, like a puck of hounds afler a fox. It is incumbent on it member, if he would keep himself solid wiMi his constituents, to shoot oil his mouth every once in awhile, ( the occasional inter rup- . tion of a minister will do), otherwise he would have no outward justification for his existence as a member and would bu -'tiiiu down" at the next election by u ui������gu-ted constituency. The supreme difficulty seems to lie in the*, thinking up of something to start a debate about. They cannot exp*~_l. to have a Crow's Nest Pass or a Yukon Hallway bill every day. This would be expecting too miicb, anil it is unlikely the massive brains of our statesmen'could stnnd the slriiiti; still, it is a comfort to know that tbey need never be at a loss so long iis thn complicated troubles of the civil set vice brigade hold out, nnd provide a Held lrom which to produce all sorts of I curious Mowers and weeds ol' oi-.il.ory. l.ver since the Free Lince became, a nopirliir newspaper, with a circulation out of all proportion to its size, vve have been in receipt every week of a neatly done up package cont lining tbe official reports of the Commons and Senate debates. We seldom open the package, on account of a constitutional aversion to being thrown into alitof the blues, but we did read the. debate on the Yukon Hail way bill with interest and anxiety, purusing it with much the same feelings of amazement as in our youth we did the the story of Ali Bnbiiand the forty thieves. In the votes and proceedings of the House of Commons vve ran across a lengthy debate on a noble .ind exalted subject, which Burke, Fox or Sheridan would have dearly loved to handle. lo was over n, question put to the Ministry hy Mr. Foster as to whether any colored porters had been dischiirced from the Inteicolonial Railway. When that had been settled to everybody's satisfaction, somebody int't-'duced a bill to compel civil "servants to, pay their tailor's, butcher and barber's hills. We did not see the candlestick-milker's name mentioned, although vve looked for ii. especially, hut vve presume they will have to pay him too. The debate hnd manv ramifications. One. member went'so far as to suegpst that the members of the House should be placed under lhe ban of this bill, whilst nnother went one bet ter and insisted that the Cabinet Ministers be included n lsro. We were forcibly re minded ot certain passages in Alice in Wonderland, and thought of the tear., of laughter that would roll down nn Englishman's check'wore a bill to be introduced m the British House of Commons compelling Sir ^Williim Vernon Harcourt and Ait bur Bul four to pay their butcher. Be that as it may." taking into consideration lho vas"t horde of civil servants and government ollicials svvntilling' over the land, it iseasy to understand how if eyen only one half of theni were to decline to pay their little store bills, everv merchant from Vancouver to Qnpbcc would go bust. Mr. Cameron in the course of this same debate, said that ho knew of a Lieutenant Governor who could noc get trusted for a pair of shoes. That is nothing. Neither can vve. Sonieofthes.Ottawapolemiesareon a par villi the debate that took place last, week in South Edmonton on the question as to whether the United States ought to go to war with Spain. As a matter of fact ilie Sotilh Edmonton debate did nob iillect the Cuban situation one particle, although tliey_do_ sav that when the verbatim report was cabled over to Senor Sag.'ista that venerable statesman was seized with spasms, which is more than he would have been seized with had it been an Ottawa debate,���������-unless it was spasms of laughter. Although penury is here our portion, to sny nothing of sorrow and shortlived rare, vve cannot help feeling an instinctive pit}- for minor coveminent officials rn this country. Tliey ali seem so sti'.iiicrely dependent upon the fortunes nnd personal caprice of their n's- 'pective members, or shall we sav Patrons'1 When a politician sinks, he creates a vortex which sucks nnel.-r his private const ituency of officeholders. They never come up. I It w a sU.-iruze vein of cns-eilncss that impels a certain coterie of scruhi.y calves in this town to hover round the depot when tbe north bound train rolls i in. On olt days they are nowhere to be seen, confining themselves to the back streets and purlieus, but on train davs, about.ten. niinutes':before the train is due. these little calves may be seen wending their way thoughtfully down to the depot. "They are never late. Although yearlings they look more like Alpine goats. There is one especially, a tough looking customer, whose head and neck are thickly studded with.warts and mange blossoms. He seems to he the brains of tho n.irty nnel is always very much in evidence. When the prospective settlers get olf and look around with baleful eye for something to find fault with, the lirst object that meets their gaze is this ridiculous little animal standing conspicuously in the foreground, .surrounded by a proupof grotesque runts. As soon as the train pulls out they all toddle up town again, hunting empty tomato "cans and scrap iron, .nnd the immigrants think they have seen fair specimens of our live stock. The only- thing we can elo under the circumstances is to get Mr Nunneley. overseer of the immigration shed, to explain to the crowd that they are :i valuable breed of Shetlnnd e;,i.ttli.. .

"As I stopped to change cars at Princoton, Ind.," said a gentleman who has just arrived iu the city from Kentucky, "I was greatly puzzled at tho bight which met my eyes. Though my homo is near Princoton, I had nover been iu tho town before and I had no pei_on.il knowledge of tho peoplo who lived thore. Thore was great silence at the railway station, and, though many persons wero moving about, no ono uttered a word. 'Is it a town of deaf mutes?' I said to mysolf. "But presently my eyes were blinded by many small mirrors, as it seemed to mo, casting a dozen shadows in my eyes from the hands of as many burly no- proes. It seomed no matter of fuu to them to cast thoso shadows. They were grimacing, contorting their faces and twisting their lingers iu a manner fctranga to see. 'No deaf mutes, but lunatics,' I said to myself, and I began to look for somo safo means of exit. But those dumb, grimacing creatures were on all sides of tho platform and as I advanced one way or tho other those at that point lunged toward me and I saw I vvas a prisoner "It was a frightful feeling for a fow moments, and theu a rational explanation of tho scene was made. Conquering my timidity, I went boldly to one of tho biggest of the black men, and, seizing him by tho shoulder, I said, as a hypnotist might say, 'What do you mean by casting shadows in my eyes?' The man caught me hy the coat slecvo and whispered in my ear: 'I'll toll you, boss, but I' has to whisper, 'cause wo ain't allowed to talk. You has to come to me. I can't come and git you." They won't let ns stand on tho platform.' "Then I found out that theso silent men had onco been tho vociferative, shouting hackmen who mako themselves so omnipresent on the platform stations of most small towns. Tho good people of Princeton determined to live in peace and quiet, and, by act of tho city council, thoy prohibited tho hackmen from using their voices. . But even this did not abate tho nuisance. The hackmen ���������would run up to the train and almost carry away their patrons by force. Ho the city council passed a law forbidding thorn to stand on tho platform. Deprived of speech and power of locomotion, theso hackmen had a happy thought. Each one bought a bright tin plate and had tho name of his hotel embossed on tho plate in raised letters. So they all stand there, .waving thoir tin plates and uover uttering a sound."���������St. Louis Globo-Dcmocrat. An Awful State of "Xiifeiri. That Called Vm Reform. The mnn wns very rloh.

Even ___ : Drop of Heiuouade In Sufficient to ^ Ruin Thoir Appearance American girls are fond of pearls and have no superstitious fears that thoy mean "tears." Itinaynot beknowu to the possessors of these goms that pearls aro regarded as "woll" or "ill" from a jeweler's point of view. Liko human beings, they require fresh air to bo kept alive. Iu other words, tbey must bo worn and not remain too long iu a closed case. Judges of pearls can tell by looking at them whether the gem is "lucido" (clear and healthy), or whether it'is beginning to be an invalid. Experts talk of pearls "'dying," "thoy sometimes becoming discolored and turning black. A black pearl may be a handsome stone, but it has not the evanescent rainbow suggestions to be seen in a milky or ro_y pearl. Italian women, who know a great deal about pearls. ���������wear their necklaces and "ropos" con* Etantly. This gives .them the lightand air required hy tho mysterious forma- tions,:and yet they are not exposed to the: chances of discoloration by being touched with acid. It is easier to keep pearls in fair condition when they aro set in a lacepin or in necklaces. It is hard to care for them in a finger ring. One mu?t be careful to remove them not only in washing the hands, bet they should never bo worn when thero is likelihood of being touched by food or drink. About a month ago tho o~~-ner of a beautiful pink pearl worn in a linger ring was alarmed to find che stone was darkening and becoming Covered with an opaquo dark crust. Sho took it to her jeweler, who pronounced it a cam pf "scale." He told her the delicate substance had been in contact with some acid, and as she insisted this bad not happened he reminded her that a drop of lemonade would be sufficient to do the mischief. Sho then remembered drinking lemonade whilo tho ring was oa her ungloved hand. The only remedy for rcalo is a removal of a wlible layer of the pearl. This is an excessively delicate business, which should be done by an expert workman, and never undertaken by apprentice hands. It is a costly business and reduces tho size and value of the pearl that must undergo the operation.���������Philadelphia Eecord.

HMHH _.# &> I.)- THE SPANISH AND YANKEE FLEETS MEET AT LAST Dewey's Squadron Attacked the Enemy r . off the^fhiMtoines Hf Iii [FN < \ % [. in _f Jl i.il ������I The American B Squadron Badly Damaged and out of Reach of Repairs or Goal London, May 2.���������The miblic suspense has at last been partially -relieved bv news of the lone; looked for naval engagement off the Philippines, in the North Pacific Ocean. ��������� -Acltiiir.il Dewey's command, consisting of six war ships, left Chida immediately after the issue of a neutrality proclamation by Great Britain, aud sailed - towards the Philippine Islands, where Spain has impottaut possewdons. In addition to well guarded fortilications, Spain has been keeping a squadron of cruisers at the Philippine Islands under Admiral Montegi. News ol tbe arrival of Admiral Dewey's squadron an Manila and his attack on tut* Sp.mish ilfi't was received here at midnight on Saturday, via Madrid, and as tho cable is under Spanish control the American side ot the case has not yet been heard." The result of the engagement seems to be that the Spanish Admiral's tiag- .ship vvas burned" and several vessels on the Spanish side either blown up or sunk, while the American* fleet vvas compelled to retire with great damage and loss of life, out of leach of the enemy's fire: As the United States have no dry docks or coaling stations within reach, it is surmised that Admiral Dewev's command will be unable to renew the attack with any reasonable hope of success. DETAILS OF TUE EIGHT ' Madrid, May 2.���������The following is the latest. An official despatch received last night from the Governor- General of the Philippines to the Minister of War, Lieut.-Oeneral, Correa, as to the engagement between the Spanish-and American fltets off Manila: -Last night (April 30) the flatteries at the entrance to the port announced the arrival of the enemy's squadron which,was trying to force it passage under the obscurity of night. At daybreak the enemv took up_ a position and opened vvith n strong fire against Fort Cavite and the arsenal. Our fleet engaged the enemy in a brilliant combat, in which they'were protected and assisted by the Cavite and Manila forts. They obliged the enemy with a heavy loss to manoeuvre repeatedly. At nine o'clock the United States squadron look refuge behind the foreign merchant shipping ou the east side of the bay. ' Our fleet, considering the enemy's superiority, naturally suffered severe losses. iTbe Maria Christina is on lire, and - ji mother ship, believed .to be. the Don .Itiao De Austra"wa& blown up. 'There was it considerable loss of lite. Capt. Cadarona, commanding the Maria Chrif-tina. is among the killed." I cannot now give further details. The spirit of the navy aud volunteers is excellent. ' Madrid, May, 2.-���������Lite official telegrams say that Admiral Modtijo has transferred his flag to the cruiser Islade Cuba from the cruiser Reina Maria Christina, which is completely burned. ��������� The Spauish cruiser Castilla was also burned. The other ships retired from the combat, some being sunk to avoid their falling into the enemy's hands. Tbe Cabinet ministers speak of "serious but honorable losses. Lisbon.

Neither the Renter Telegraph Co. nor the Times nor the Daily Mail, hitherto the only direct means of information from Manila, has received any word on the subject. -Madrid. May 2.���������Admiral Mermijo, the Minister of Marine, joined the Cabinet council this evening and informed his colleagues that the Spanish forces had gained a victory in the Philippines. ~ He asserted that he found difficulty in restraining his joyful emotions. The official despatch does not mention the destruction of any, United States vessels, although it says the United States squadron finally cast anchor in the bay behind the foreign merchantmen. The news from the Philippines has produced a greatly increased enthusiasm, especially in yiew of the fact that the Uniled States squadron was obliged to retreat. Notwithstanding the severe damage _Aie Spanish ships sustained, naval .officers here consider that further .operations by y the United States -squadron will be conducted under great difllcultiecowingto their having no base where they could repair and. .irecpal - or obtain fresh supplies and .ammunition Another account says the Mindanao .and the IJlloa were severely damaged . in the second engagement..- El Heraldo de Madrid says that Admiral Montelo changed his flagship .during the engagement or between _the .two encounters in order to better direct tlu* manoeuvies. In this wav he escaped thefate of the commander ot the Reina Maria Christina. The second engagement, accoiding to the El Heraldo,"was apparently begun by the Americans, afler landing their wounded on the left side of the b.ty. In the latter engagement the Spanish ships Mineianoa and Ullao suffered heavily.

Washington, May 1.���������-There is great reioicing here today. Not since the dark days ot the great civil conflict of a third of a century ago have the people of this city been so profoundly moved by war news as they were this evening. The first battle ot this war has been fought and the victory lies wtth Commodore Dewey. That was enough to set the people of Washington almost in a frenzy of enthusiastic rejoicing.

A return to the station off Morro Castle, tiavaii was contemplated, the band "playing its usual dinner music when I rom tbe hill to the eastward of Cabanas harbor came a sound ot a voley firing, evidently a small attack, though no smoke could be seen. The enemy was thought to be hidden on the beach estimated at one troop of cavalry which dismounted and commeneeel firing.

Up to the close of "office hours yesterday absolutely the only intormation the Government had received of the victory of Commodore Dewey came to the government through the medium of press despatches. If the report is true that Dewey has begun the bombardment and blockade of the city of Manila it is unlikely he can spare a vessel from his fleet to carry news to Hong Kong. __v_-^_i-OPERATOIlS-HAVE-_~__K__i--=, ___.

Last Friday n, m:in named George Cooper, alius Albert Sawyer, who had been following the trade* of a painter in Kevelstoke. Nakusp, New Denver and other Kootenay point'-, came to bis death at Nelson in a si range manner. A police-man found him wandering round the town in a shocking Condi! ion. To tpiolc tin* Nelson Tiibunc: His tongue was hanging out of his moiilh and badly swollen, with a gaping wound on the lip of it. The neck and face wore also swollen and ilNcolored, and allog-.-l hi-r he picsenl- cil a most shocking sight. When spoken lo. Coopci tonlil nt-i. spe-ik intelligibly, so 'f'lioiiip.oii broiigbl him up Iti" Tcet/.el's drug sloie. while he w.-nt to Dr. ilall to secure a ticket of adiiii-jsion for the mnn inlo lhe Kootenay Lake Cruel nl Hospital.

INCORPORATION The little "piece, of news, which the lli.it.-.Li" publishes in until her column from ihu sessional papers of lhe legislature that, the Attorney Gcni~i.il has asked leayti lei bring in a bill I'or the incorporation of the town of lluvel- stoke, is sufficient proof llml lhe date i.s not. far distant when this lown will assume the responsibility of self gov- eininenl. The Hkii.m.ii has never had the least idea that the lobbying of selfish and interested land speculators would be of any avail with the government against, t healniost unanimous wish of the residents of this place for municipal self government.. ��������� The bill will nol take long in passing the house and will no doubt appoint an early dale for tho first ulection of a mayor and council for Rovelsloko. The Ilwt- Al.o earnestly hopes that public spirit will pi e-v.-iil and that, prominent business men vvill be found willing to come forward and seek election for tliese offices. An enormous step towards our future prosperity vvill be attained if the first council starts the municipality right at first. It' our all'aiis are begun on economical and business lint's, they are likely to continue to be administered in the* same way. But if we commence wilh a big list of salaried officials, carelessly supervised and wilh the inception of public works beyond thu requirements ot a reasonable! and conservative estimaU! of immediate development, il vvill ,he a very difficult tusk for some, succeeding council lo place mutters on a better footing. Even from Ihe most selfish standpoint it vvill p-iy men with a stake iu lhis place to come forward and run for the council. An era of extravagance and incompetence 'is a very easy muller to inaugural'" in any municipality iind it is at the start when lhe tempi ation is greatest and the facilities most f.-itally numerous. , Once lhe minds of the ratepayers have become .accustomed to carefulness and a wise; economy in llie administration of their affairs, once a machinery of checks and safeguards lias been built, up. any change, in a contrary direction is liable lo be n or ed and" denounced. We have in Revelstoko . the makings of the best teiwns in -Koolenay. It is distinctly worth any business man's while, how- over much he may be necessarily occupied with his own immediate alfairs, tn lend a hand to plac.e its municipal business" ou a secure* and conservative basis'.

SATURDAY. MAY jISOS. THE CORBIN CHARTER Tho following comment on tbe defeat of the Corbin charter in the Commons, taken from the Spokane Spokesman-Review, is hoc ouly interesting but instructive:. When the Corbin charter was pending betore the Dominion parliament, the Canadian Pa_iiic kicked np a , great dust . over Spokane'i" interest- in tbe matter. Ic was said that Spokane wanted the road built tbat it might draw away Canadian business' irom Canadian interests. As a matter of tact, there will be little business in Boundary Creek until tbe country has railroads, aud the building of tbe Corbin line vvouid have thrown three times as much new business to Canadians as it would have brought to Spokane. Spokane's real interest in the charter sprang from quite another consideration. It is anxious that the Colville reservation ou this <-ide of the border should be put in connection with the railway systems otthe country, and it was feared that if Mr. Corbin failed to get the Boundary Creek charter he would uot build thus.summer, into the reservation camp. Now it is practically assured that the Spokane Falls & Northern will be buile into Republic and other reservation camps, charter or no charter, and built at once. Spokane i<~ almost indifferent to the ultimate fate of the.Boundary Creek extension. Certainly it will lose a great deal less from the defeat of that measure than will be lost by the mining and business interests of Southern British Columbia, which have been sacriliced to Canadiau Pacific greed and monopoly. If Canada is deter- _____ined-to try. the.Coreau poii_ey_o __ non-intercourse, and expel railway carriers as China and Corea did vessels trying to ascend their rivers for trade, she will have tbe sympathy of this country but uot its ill-will. A little experience on the other side of tbe line," a little patience 011 this side, and Canada will be glad enough to drop ber mistaken policy of exclusiveuess. The following war telegram, posted in the office of a well known Toronto hotel tbe other day, caused quite an excitement in business circles: "Itis reported that the American squadron bas just captured a Spanish scow laden with a bunch of bananas and two dozen Spanish onions. Later, (-" p. m.)���������Report confirmed, but a recount puts number of Spanish onions at one dozen instead of two.' It is whispered that the Globe's special war correspondent has removed his headquarters from New York to Washington. He has found it necessary to do so owing to a rumor that a Spanish vessel had been seen some time ago in the Atlantic, and every experienced war correspondent knows that it is much easier to write despatches in a nice quiet neighborhood than-where-he air is filled with 13 inch projectiles moving hurriedly. Of course there mav be a little sea fighting going on in the Atlantic and some land land fighting at Cuba now and again, which the intrepid Globe correspondent may not actually see, but he can always rely on ths accuracy of the. reports pub'li=h(?d in such papers as t he New York World or Nevr York Journal -which are easily obtainable and -which publish all the news as well as denials every day. old- James Yates, of Gait one of the est Oddfellows in Canada, is dead There is more joy in a printing office over one subscriber who pays in 'advance and abuses the editor on every occasion,thanoverninetyand nine who borrow the paper and sing its praises without contributing a solitary cent lo keep it out of the poor house. In this much governed country over which Jubilee oratois wax so enthusiastic, where the cabinet uiitulasncs (hem I nilniericnlly) lhe eiibinuts of the great power.*, .where everv fourth mnn you meet, is connected directly or remotely with theGoverniuout, and where t.he conditions are quiet, unsen- salion.-il and niossbucky, ii is a matter oi't-eiiei.ilastonishmentto the perplexed public how her statesmen ulvvays lind so much to talk about. The great pu/./.le in lliu bulls of legislature seems to be the thinking up of becoming topics of discussion, bul, given the topic they ull let themselves loose, like a pack of hounds afler a fox. It is incumbent on a member, il" he would keep himself solid wiUi his constituents, to shoot oil' his mouth every once in awhile, ( file occasional interruption of a minister will elo), otherwise he would have no outward justification for his existence as a member and would be; "turn down" ;it tho next, election by 11 cli**gu-tod constituency. The supreme diflieuliy seems to lie in the thinking up of something to start a debut���������* about. They cannot expect to have a Crow's Nest Pass or a Yukon Railway bill every day. This vvouid be expecting too tnt'ieii, and it is unlikely the massive brains of our sl.'ii,'-'-'.- inen could stand the strain; still, it is a comfort to know tlmt they need never bo at a loss .so Inng 11s tint complicated troubles of Ihe civil scivice brigade hold out and provide a Held trom which to produce all sorts of curious lliivvers .fid weeds of oratory. F.ver sinco the Free Lance became a nopular newspaper, with a circulation out of all proportion to its size, vve have been in receipt every week of a neatly done up package cont lining tho official reports of the Commons and Senate debnlcs. We seldom open (he package, on account of a constitutional aversion fo beingthrown into aliLof the lilu,\s, but; vve did read the debate on thu Yukon ltailway bill with interest and anxiety, purusing it with'much the same feelings of ainazenieiil, as in our youth vve did the lhe story of Ali Bubaand the forty thieves. In the votes and proceedings of the House of Commons we ran across a lengthy debate on a noble nnd exalted subject which Burke, Fox or Sheridan vvouid have dearly loved to handli*. It was over a, question put tn the Ministry by Mr. Foster us to whether any colored porters had been discharcod from the Intercolonial ltailway.' When that had been settled lo everybody's satisfaction, somebody int'r"duced a bill fo compel civil servants to. piiy their tailor's, butcher and barber's bills. We did notsee the candlestick-maker's name mentioned. although vve looked for it. especially, hut vve presume they will have to pay him too. The debate hnd many ramifications. One member went'so far as to sucgest chut the uieinbers of the House should be placed under lhe ban of this bill, whilst another went one bolter and insisted that the Cabinet Ministers be included also. Wo wore forcibly re minded ot certain passages in Alice.in WondPi-land. anel thought of the teat's of laughter that would roll down an Englishman's cheek-were a hill to be introduced in the British House, of Commons compelling Sir William Vernon Harcourt and Arthur Bnl.our to pay their butcher. Be that as il, may.' taking inlo consideration lhe vast horde of civil servants and. government ollici.-ils swarming'over the land, it is easy to understand how if eyen only one half of theni were to decline to pay their little store bills, everv mcrchanf. from Vancouver to Qupbec would go bust. Jlr. Camcion in the course of this same debate, saiel that he knew of a Lieutenant Governor who could not net trusted for a pair of shoes*. That is nothing. Neither can vve. Soineof thes .Ottawapolemiesare on a par vith the debate that tookplace last, week in South Edmonton on the question as to whether the. United States ought to go to war with Spain. A.s a matter of fact the Soutli Edmonton debate did not nfleet the Cuban situation one particle, although they do sa v-that-w-hen-lh "-verbatim r_par__w____u cabled over to Senor Sagasta that venerable statesman was seized with spasms, which is more than he vvouid have been seized with had it been an Ottawa, debate,���������unless it was spasms of laughtpr. Although penury is hen; our portion, to sny nothing of sorrow- and shortlived care, we c.inuot help feeling an instinctive pity fnr minor jrnvcrnnipnt officials 111 this'country. They nil sppih so stransrely dependent upon the for- ,1 lines ami personal caprice of their "'S- pective members, or shall we sav Patrons? When a politician sinks, he creates a vortex which suck*: under his private constituency of otlicehold- er<*. They never come up. It ia a strange vein of cus-iedness that impels a certain coterie of scruhhy I calves in this town to hover round the I depot when the north bound train rolls 1 in. On olf days they nre nowhere to j be seen, confining themselves to the 1 hack streets and purlieus, but on train j davs, about ten minutes before the j tra'in is due. these little calves m.iy be seen wending their way thoughtfully down to the depot. They are never late. Although yparlings thoy look more like Alpine goats. There, is one especially, a tough looking customer, whose head and neck aro thickly studded with warts and mange blossoms. Ilo seems to bo the brains of the party and is alway.. very much in evidence When the prospective settlers get olf and look around with baleful eve for something to find fault vvith. the lirst ohjs'ct that meets their gaze is this ridiculous little animal standing conspicuously in the foreground, surrounded by a group of grotesque runt". As soon as the train pulls out, thoy all toddle up town again, hunting empty tomato cans and scrap iron, .ind tho munis-rants think they ha ve seen l'a'r specimens of our live stock. The only thing we can do under the. circumsLin- cps is to gpt Mr Nunneley. overseer nf the immigration shed, lo explain lo the crowd that they are a valuable breed of Shetland cittle. We see that Honor Polo, the Spanish Ambassador to the I'.S., ha" chosen Toronto as a place of retreat. Ilecouldnot , have struck a morn lin<*pii:ii)le town, i and they all love pnlo there. We pre- 1 sume he was afraid they would piny j golf with him if he remained 111 thej States. PRINCETON'S SILENT JEHUS. ri-elr Ingenuity In Getting: Around a J_o- eal Iloosier Ordinance. "Ah I stopped to chango oars at Princoton, Ind.," said a gentleman who hus just arrived iu the . city from Kentucky, "I was greatly puzzled at tho Bight which met my eyas. Though my homo is near Princeton, I had novor been iu tho town before and I hud no personal knowledge of, tho peoplo who lived there. Thoro was great silence at tho railway station, and, though many persons were moving about, no ono uttered a word. 'Is it a town of deaf mutes?' I said to myself. "But presently my eyes were blinded by many small mirrors, as it seemed to mo, casting a dozen shadows in my eyes from tho hands of as many burly 110- gtoea. It seomed no matter of fuu to them to cast thoso shadows. They wero grimacing, contorting their faces and twisting their lingers in a manner strongs to see. 'No deaf mutes, but lunatics,' I said to myself, aud I began to look for some safo means of exit. _3ufc those dumb, grimacing creatures were on all sides of tho platform and as I advanced ono way or tho other those at that point lunged toward me and I saw I was a prisoner "It was a frightful feeling for a few moments, and then a rational explanation of the .scone was made. Conquering my timidity, I went boldly to ono of tho biggest of the black men, and, seizing him by tho shoulder, I said, as a hypnotist might say, 'What do you mean by casting shadows ih my oyes?' The man caught me hy the coat sleevo and whispered in my ear: 'I'll toll you, boss, but I has to whisper, 'cause wo ain't allowed to talk. You has to come to me. I can't come and git you:- Thoy won't lot us stand on tho platform.' "Then I found out that theso silont men had onco been tho vociferative, shouting hackmen who mako themselves so omnipresent on the platform stations of most small towns. Tho good people of Princeton determined to live in pcaco and quiet, aud, by act of tho city council, thoy prohibited the hackmen from using their voices. . But even this did not abate tho nuisance. The hackmen would run up to the train and almost carry away their patrons by force. So tho city council passed a law forbidding them to stand on tho platform. Deprived of speech and power of locomotion,, theso hackmen had.a happy thought.' Each one bought a bright tin plate and had tho name of his hotel embossed on tho plate iu raised letters. So they all stand there,.waving thoir tin plates and nover utte'-'ing a sound."���������St. Louis Globo-Dcmocrut. An Axrfnl State of "XflUiri That Called _"��������������� Reform.

American girls are fond of pearls and havo no superstitious fears that thoy. mean "tears." Itmaynot bekiiowu to tho possessors of these gems that pearls aro regarded as "well" or "ill" from 11 jowcler's point of view. Liko human boings, they requiro fresh air to bo keipt alive. Iu other words, thev- muse be ���������worn and not remain too long in a closed case. Judges of pearls can tell by looking at them whether tbe gem is "lucido" (clear and healthy), or whether it is beginning to be ah invalid. Experts talk of pearls "dying, " thev* sometimes becoming discolored and turning black. A black pearl may be a handsome stone, but it has not tbe evanescent rainbow suggestions to be seen in a milky or rosy pearl. Italian women, who know a great deal about pearls, wear their necklaces and "ropos" constantly. This gives them the light and ���������air���������required���������_.y-c__o_mystcnous���������.Grms-��������� tions, and yet they are not exposed to the chances of discoloration by being touched with acid. Is is easier to keep pearls in fair condition when they aro set in a lacepin nr in necklaces. It' is hard to tare for them in a finger ring. One must be careful to remove them not only in washing the hands, but they should never be worn when there is likelihood of being touched by food or drink. About a month ago tho owner of a beautiful pink pearl worn in a linger ring was alarmed to find the stono was darkening and becoming Covered with an opaquo dark crust. Sho took it to her jeweler, who pronounced it u caso of "scale." He told her tho delicate substance had been in contact with some acid, and as she insisted this had uot happened he reminded her that a drop of lemonade would bo sufficient to do the mi.-cbief. She then remembered drinking lemonade while tho ring was on hor ungloved hand. The only remedy for scale is a removal of a whole layer of the pearl. This is an excessively delicate busines.., which should be done by aa expert workman, and novor undertaken by apprentice hands. It is a costly business and reduces the sizo and valuo of the pearl that must undergo the operation.���������Philadelphia Becord. A New "Scliool of JonrnalUm.''

The American Squadron Badly Damaged and out of Reach of Repairs or Goal London, May 2.���������The nublic suspense has at last been partially* -reliev- . ed bv news of the long looked for naval engagement, off the Philippines, in the North Pacific Ocean. . ��������� Admiral Dewey's command, consisting of six war ships, left Chida immediately after the issue of a neutrality- proclamation hy Great Britain, aud sailed towards the Philippine Islands, where Spain has inipoitant possessions. In addition to well giuirdeil fortifications, Spain has been keeping a .ejtmdron of cruisers at the Philippine Islands under Admiral Montegi. News ot the arrival of Admiral Dewey's squadron at Manila and his attack "on the Sp.uiish fleet " was received here ut midnight on Sat- ��������� urdiiy. via Madrid, and a.s the cable is under Spanish control the. American siele ot the case has not yet been heard. The result of the engagement seems to lie that the Spanish Admiral's ting- ship was burned and several vessels on the Spanish side either blown' up or sunk, while the American lleet was compelled to retire, with great damage and loss of life, out of leach of the enemy's fire. As _ the United States have no dry docks or coaling stations within reach, it is surmised that Admiral Dewev's command will be unable to renew the attack with any reasonable hope of success. DETAILS OF TUE FIGHT Madrid, Mav 2.���������The following is the latest. An official despatch received last, night from the Governor- General of the "Philipnines to the Minister of War, Lieut..-Genc~ral, Correa, as to the engagement between the Spanish and American Meets off Manila: "List night* (April 30) the batteries at the entrance to the port Announced the arrival of thu enemy's sciuadron which.was trying to force a passage under the obscurity of night. At davbreak the enemy took up> a "position and opened wil li n strong Hre - against Fort Cavite and- the arsenal. Our fleet engaged the enemy in a brilliant combat, in which they were protected and assisted by the Cavite and Manila forts,. Tbey obliged the <"��������� nemy with a heavy loss to manoeuvre repeatedly. * At nine o'clock the United States squadron took refuge behind the foreign merchant shipping on the east side of the bay. ' Our fleet, considering the enemy's superiority, natur.i 11 v suffered severe losses. " -The Maria Christina is on Are, and .another ship, believed to be lhe Don --��������� -Tii.-n De Austrarwas blown up. _:There was ti. considerable loss of life. Capt. ���������Cadarova, commanding the Maria Chrif-tina. is among the killed. I cannot now give further details. The spirit, of the navy aud volunteers is excellent. 1 Madrid, May 2.���������Late official telegrams say that Admiral Modtijo has transferred his flag to the cruiser IsladeCuha fiom the cruiser Hein.-i Maria Christina, which is completely burned. The Spanish cruiser Castilla was also burned. The other ships retirtd from the combat, some being sunk to avoid their falling into tho enemy's hands. Tbe Cabinet ministers speak" of "serious but honorable losses. Lisbon. May 2.���������-Reliable dispatches received here state that the Spanish fleet was completely defeated off Cavite. London, May 2.���������No confirmation from anv source ha9 been received here of the dispatches from Madrid as to the fighting off the Philippines. Neither the Renter Telegraph Co. nor the Times nor the Daily Mail, hitherto the only direct means of information from Manila, has received any word on the subject. Madrid. May 2.���������Admiral Mennijo, the Minister of Marine, joined the Cabinet council this evening and m- - - formed his colleagues that the Spanish forces had gained a victory in the Philippines. He asserted that he found difficulty in restraining his joyful emotions. The official despatch does not mention the destruction of any United States vessels, although it says the United States squadron finally cast anchor in the bay behind the foreign merchantmen. The news from the Philippines lias produced a greatly increased enthusiasm, especially in view of the fact that the United States squadron was , ' obligee, to retreat. Notwithstanding the severe damage Hie Spanish ships .sustained, naval .officers here consider that further ���������opescitions by the United States .���������squadron will he conducted under .great diflicultiecowingto their having aio base where they could repair and recoal or obtain fresh supplies and .ammunition Another account says the Mindanao .and the Ulloa. were severely damaged in the second engagement. El Heraldo dc Madrid .ays that Admiral Montelo changed his H.-ige-hip .during the engagement or between -ihe two encounters in order to better direct the niiinoeuvies. In this way he escaped thefateof the commander ot the Keina-Mari.i Christina*. The second engagement, accoiding to the El Heraldo, was apparently begun by the Americans, after landing their wounded on the left side of the buy. In the Litter engagement, the Spanish ships Mindauoa and Ullao suffered heavily. _ SUNDAY'S NEWS Key West, May 1.���������Incoming boats say the firing by the flagship New York last night was on Cub.tnns, a small port, ten miles west of Mariel. Tho.torpedo boats Porter and Erissoni were scouting close to the coast when' a small battery opened lire on them with rapid firing guns. The " torprdo boats quickly withdrew and notified the flagship which was ciuising slowly in a westerly direction. Thot New Yoik piomptlv returned the lire," sending in about. 12 shots iroui hei six and eight inch guns, The batteries ashore made ho respouse. The firing was'by no means in the naltue of a bombardment.

A special despatch from Madrid says that it is announced there that an oilicial despatch fciui Havana states that the Spanish *_unboat Liger- ia again engaged with a United States torpedo boat off Cardenas.

Russia will senel naval experts to accompany the Spanish and the United States warships as eye witnesses of the battles if permission he obtained. ' The Gibraltar correspondent of the Times says he is assured from a high naval authority that Spain bought I7.G00 tons of coal before the outbreak of the war and secured delivery. Washington, May 1.���������-There is great rejoicing here today. Not since the dark days ot the great civil conflict of a third of a century ago have the people of this city been so profoundly moved by war news as they were this evening. The first battle ot this war has been fought and the victory lies wtth Commodore Dewey. That was enough to set the people of Washington almost in a frenzy of enthusiastic rejoicing. On Board t_!_e Flagship New- York, via Key West, April 30.���������The full details of the so called bombardment of the Cabanas last evening are as follows; The New York was lying quietly outside the harbor of Cabanas' about two miles onshore accompanied by the torpedo boats Porter and Ericson. A return to the station off Morro Castle, Havan was contemplated, the band playing its usual dinner music when trom the bill to the eastward of Cabanas harbor came a sound ot a voley firing, evidently a small attack, though no smoke could be seen. The enemy was thought to be hidden on the beach estimated at one troop of cavalry which dismounted and commenced firing. The officers of the flag- sliip.stood on her deck trying to ascertain definitely the exact location of the enemy, more amused than annoyed at this novel method of attacking an armed ci nisei, LONDON, Mny 3.���������Details of the buttle off Manila have been leceived bv the British Coloniil office. The engagement lasted for two hours and resulted in the annihilation cf tbe Spanish fleet. The United States ships withdrew to their magazine vessel. One United States vessel, the mime of which is. not mentioned, is said to have been disabled. I tis reported that the Manila Authorities refused to surrender and that lhe United Slates lleet is again hoinhiud- ing the town. Owing to Uie cables being cut it is impossible ti learn full particulars. The Miidrid correspondent, of the* Time1", describing thi- engagement off Manila, says: "The Olympian. Ho*-ton, Kalcigh, Uoncord, Petrel and Mono- cacy entered the; liny under envoi of dancness on lhe morning of Sunday by the smaller and sater Bncaehi'.-al channel. The foits on Cortigidor island gave the alarm hy firing on the intruder., but seem to "have inflicted no .setiou3dHm-ge. The United States squadron moved up I he buy and at S o'clock in the nioi'iiiiigappeared before Cavite. Heie lying under the shelter ol the forth was the Spanish iquitdion. Admiral Motuijo a few days before went to Subic - Bay to look' for the. enemy, but learning that they were a vastly superior force, prudently returned and placed his ships under the protection of t he forts. This was his only chance of meeting the enemv on something like pipia.1 terms, but it did not suffice. Soon the Americans opened fire.. The Spaniards replied vigorously and the combat con i.i lined without interruption for lour hours,��������� during which the Don Antonio de Ulloa was sunk, the Castill.i'and Mindanao were set on fire and'thn Reina Maria Christina and Don Juan de Austria scriotislv damaged. One or two smaller crafts were scuttled by their crew to escape capture. No Spanish warship. surrendered and the majority perished. Several Spanish commanders were killed while resisting to the last moment. The Spanish losses are estimated at four bundled men killed, including many natives. The American squadron was attacked furiously by the Spanish squadron and the forts of Cavite, which caused great damage. news via hong kono A cablegram from Hong Kong, dated at 3 o'clock this morning says: "No News of the United Stales squadron has been received beyontl a pi lvate (plegrain from Captain Concha, of tbe Spanish cruiser Don Juan de Austria, to his children at the convent school here, mentioning that shots had been heard in the direction of Corregidior island, and it is ii*���������sinned from this that the Americans were reconnoitering. the enttance and trving the southern side of the island, whicli is six miles wide and sui rounded bv rock*: and shoals although not believed to be mined. There < is no news either of the Spanish Squadron but according to the latest advices they could not .take tho offensive in any case. The cable to Manila is now interrupted. TROUBLE IN MADRID A special despatch from Madrid says martial law bas'been proclaimed there the customary proclamation having been posted at midnight. The proclamation is due to the attitude of certain political parties since the receipt of the news from Manila. The whole garrison is ready in the barracks and military, patrols appeared in the principal square at midnight. The cabinet council _tter a late session decided *to proclaim a state'of _siege immediately. The ministers deny the existence of a cabinet crisis. NO INFORMATION AT WASHINGTON Washington, May 3���������It is a curious tact that the nation most directly interested of all the great powers in tho combat that took place at Manila yesterday should be among the last to officially know the results. Up to the close of "office hours yesterday absolutely the only inlormation the Government had received of the victory of Commodore Dewey came to the" government through tbe medium of press .despatches. If the report is true that Dewey has begun the bombardment and blockade of the city of Manila it is unlikely he can spare a vessel from his fleet to carry news to Hong Kong. OPERATOltS HAVE FLED -^-HoNR-KoNGrMay 5~==The~h~Dihbiird~ ment of Manila is proceeding. The lnhabitantsarefleemgmtothejntenor.

The ultimatum asserted that no monev levy would be made on Manila. -The despatch says il is believed in Madrid that the Government bus already cabled Captain General Augusti's authority to comply with tbe demand, no other course being open. Grave events may follow public knowledge of this compliance. REJOICING IN YANKEEDOM ��������� Washington, May 3.���������No details have been yet received here regarding the extent "of thedamage to the United States fleet during Sunday's battle at Manila, but all the Spanish advices admit that the Spanish were badly defeated. There is great rejoicing in Washington and throughout the States over the victory. DISCOItD IN THE EAST London, May 3 ���������All the newspapers comment on the United States victory.

FROM GEORGE GOUIN Another Letter on Life and Events in Dawson City - W. J. 0. Bourchier is in receipt of a letter from his partner George Gouin, dated March'Oth. Mr. Gouin had just received his first mail lrom Cilgary since arriving, lle'says the danger of starvation is over. "I lvive made enquiries," he says, "about Pelly river and can't learn very much'. The river is navigable for small steamers, "but the;current is swift and there are some rapids. Gold in paying quanti-" ties has been found, but only the bats ha. e been prospected and 1 am told hy those who know that lots of gooil mines will be found there." The opinion in Dawson is that the Dalton trail is the best route for a railway. There would be 700 miles of road to build over an'easy country. Mr. Gouin is" leaving the trading company this month to'go into tbe warehouse business with"a partner. It is their intention to erect n J.7,000 warehouse for the purpose"'of 'storing the outfits of miners going in, who have at present nowhere.tojeave their goods while prospecting unless tliev build shacks. - He adds:���������"I wish my brother was here to 'do some prospecting, but I would never advise anyboely to come here, owing to the extreme hardships of the trip, though I honestly believe the chances here for making lnoney are the best to be got. Nails are $300 a keg. The saloon keepers who were burned out are all rebuilding and the miner want nails to make sluice boxes. Send me some clippings'from the newspapers." -"It is reported that theJGavernment intend carrying out the "new mining regulations. It so I have had niy trip for nothing. The old tuners here say it means ruin. AVhen the Government officials arrive they will see this for themselves unless they are fools.' It is impossible to work a hundred feet. - The parties taking this_out are the last that are going out over the ice, so if you don't hear from me don't worry." Col. Domville. M.P.,- of "Four Crown" fame, is accused of a violation of the independence of Parliament as there is a sum of $300 for rent of an armory at Lennox, N.B., opposite his name in the public accounts. The new Alaska Land Bill provides that native born citizens of Canad in Alaska shall be accorded the same mining rights and privileges accorded to citizens of the United States in British Columbia and the Noith West Territories. The Mail and Empire of Toronto has made anangements to secure the same telegraphic service of news of the Spanish-American war as the New York Herald and London Times. R. H. Davis, of New York, anel Mr. Akers of London, will be the chief correspondents in tbe field, but over 20 other correspondents will be employed and a fleet of special despatch boats is already in commission. These arrangements will afford a news service such as has never been approached in Canadian journalism. It is amusing to see how the American shipping interests are scurrying to get under the ample protection of the Union Jack, that good olel flag that has been so greatly cipspised and vilified in the past by a ceit-iin' class of Uncle Sam's citizens. Mr. John Miller recently received a circular from the Klondike-Chicago Transportation and Trading Company, a paiagrapb from which we may be allowed to quote: "We wish." nays the'circular, "specially to call your attention to the fact that we have the only steamer leaving Seattle and Vancouver that sails under the British flag, making the trip absolutely safe in case of war, as Ihe ginibu.il-"would no more dare to fire on her than they would on London. We think this a great point to be taken into consideration, ahd hope you will give it careful thought before making other arrangements." This is the greatest compliment which it would be possible for ,one nation to pay -to the power and prestige of another.

Mr. Fielding, the minister of finance, has promised the Kootenav delegation to take up the question of an increased import duty on lead a.s soon as he*, gets the estiiliates off his hands. At the regular meeting of the executive! council of the board of trade held last night the only matter discussed in a very small meeting, Mr. XV. M. Brown in the chair, was the inconvenience, under which business men at the west end of lhe town are laboring, hy not being able to mail letters for the south after 4:30 p. m.H of the day previous to their being forwarded. If mailed after that time they have" to lie over till the day after again, as by the time tht* mail carrier arrives with the Revelstoke post office iii__.il for the south in the morning, the bags are closed. The freight nnd transportation committee was instructed to wait on Postmaster Bourne and try and get this inconvenience rectified. . After some desultory discussion with regard to the Revelstoke Incorporation Bill, the council then adjourned. THE INCORPORATION BILL The draft eif the bill to accelerate the incorporation of the town of Rovc-1- stoke, which passed its second reading on Wednesday, has .been received. The mayor must have been owner for three month*, of $1,000 worth of land or real property, registered in the hind registry otlice, over and above any regislereil i11et11nbr.111ce.or must have held a lease in writing of land or.real property valued at .$2,000 for not less than one year, for three months prior to the date of the election. Councilors must own ,$500 or lease of $1,000 worth of land or real property under the same conditions. Voters at tho firs I election inii.-t be male British subjects of full age'of 21 veins and have 1 esided within tlie limits of the proposed municipality for three mouths orioe-to the elate of the elect inn and have their names on tbe voters'list befoie the day of election. Tbe council for 1S0S is empowered ������>y the art to collect a road tax and licenses in the city after Lho.-*e now issued by the province are expired. The city Mill leceive from the government a ratable, part of the real estate lux collected upon property within its limits for the year 1S93. proportioned to the fraction of I lie year during which it is governed by its- own authorities. These seem te> be the main points in the act. calling for immediate attention, except that theie is no clause empowering the new -iiiunicip-Uity __Q���������i-a.i__._iiio-iey-_-iiy-de-- benttn-ps this year. The Hekald is uf the opinion that it will be found very difiicult to find anybody for mayor, who ha= had a thonsitod dollars worth of properly registered for three months and also that borrowing powers should be trim" ferred upon the municipality this year to .1 inoeferate extent. Another point, which calls for notice is this: An attempt is being made, instigated as the HI'KALTj lias reason to believe, by A. S. Farwell. to stave olf incorporation till th'-end of the year. It is taking the gnis-: of a petition to lntve the tl.-i.le for the lirst election fixed for next Oeceiiihur. The plfit is that the iiiunicip.ility would not have any funds to goon'with this year. As has been sh"WU ihiee sources of income, a road WS.our prnpoi tion e;f the real estate tax and Ihe licenses nre* provided by the act, which -hotilri be further amended by giving Us moderate borrowing powers this Vear. iind will of course be, if steps ate taken in that direction nt once. The plea, therefore, under which the tools of A. S. Farwell in this place are seeking to entrap.'i few ratepayers tt; sign their petition falls to the ground. The Hkkald does not think very many of nurfresi(leiit.s wish to make ;t public exhibition before the whole province of lbe weak-kneed shilly-shallying on this incorporation question, which lias been allowed to goon among ourselves far too long as it is. c>r to make ait open confession that they do not even now know their own minds on this matter, to gratify .1 land speculator, whose, connection with this place has been a dead weight to its progress from the very start.
