The   Behring sea\nand Alaska  boundary  questions  have\nbeen   the   first   big   problems   to    be\nbrought to  a  point  of solution.    Mr.\nJoseph   Martin,   attorney   general   of\nBritish Columbia, is said to be coming\nhere to protest in the interest of future  .\ngenerations   against   the   sale  of  our\nright to tako seals in the  Behring sea.\nBut a treaty would   not   be possible if\nthe   questions were   all  viewed  from\nthis   standpoint.    Speaking with only\na glimmer of knowledge of  what  has\nbeen agreed   on, it  may  be said   that\nCanada will  not  surrender  this right\nwithout   a cash   indemnity  from   the\nUnited States as payment for Canadian\nsealing ships and their outfit, and also\na  substantial concession   in return for\nour surrender of the right  to continue\noperations.    The   probable   concession\nto Canada will be   the   transfer of territory at the head of  the  Lynn canal,\nthus  giving   sufficient  access  to   the\nYukon all the year around.    It is possible  that  as   a result of  arbitration,\nCanada might swvw-e   this   wifhotrt  a\nconcession, bnt  the arbitration would\nbe long, tedious and costly, and the result extremely doubtful.   The reciprocity problem is   admittedly  the  worst\nof the issues given the commissioners,\nand it was  believed the determination\nof Canada to stand  by the principle of\na preferential tariffi   would be used as\na  good   excuse  by the Americans  for\ntheir refusal to  talk  free  trade.    Tho\ncommissioners   of  the United   States\nhave   not   taken  such  an  unbending\nstand.    In accepting the   facts as they\nexist they are seeing   if  it  would not\nbe possible to mako a limited reciprocity treaty, embracing  articles   in   the\nsale of which   to   Canada the  United\nStates   and   England   are    not   competitors.    There   are   more   of    these\narticles   than  might be imagined and\nfrom them   a list of   the   natural   and\nmanufactured  products   may probably\nbe compiled and   the  free list for both\ncountries  increased   to   their  mutual\nprofit.\nTHE COLONIST PROTESTS.\nVictoria, Sept. 28.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe news from\nQuebec respecting the reported agreement on the Alaskan boundary dispute\nis received hero with incredulity, as\ninvolving the surrender of territory\nand rights without, any return. The\nColonist says: \"By every principle\nof international law the right ot pelagic sei.ling is vested in the people of\nCanada. By every principe of intena-\ntional law aud by the only roasonable\nconstruction of the treaty of 1825,\nCanada already owns both ports at tho\nhead of Lynn canal. Yet we ars told\nwe must surrender all those, our undoubted rights, and accept in lieu,\nthrough the gracious consent of the\nUnited States, permision to retain control of our ports.\n\"It seems increditable that so complete a surrender of.Canada's right can\nbe for ono moment contemplated. If\ndevelopments prove that the roport is\ncorrects, wo submit that the strongest\nkind of a protest ought to be made\nby tho people of British Columbia. Iu\ncommon with othors we have no wish\nto seo anything dono that will embarrass ttoe British members of tho\nconference, but this feeling must give\nway when it becomes apparent that\nvaluablo rights aro to bo given up for\nno equivalent. Canada does not need a\nport at the head of Lynn canal so\nbadly that anything of value ought to\nbe given up for it, even if it belongs to\nthe United States.

The   Canadians are   an\nenergetic, industrious and perservering\npeople and it, is   not   likely   that   they\nwould sit down in despair and 'die  of\ninanition if  the  poople of the United\nStates should refuse to extend to them\ntheir   distinguished   consideration    or\nthat rust would   eat up tlieir railways !\nif  they  wero  deprived ot  trade from\npoint to point   in   the United   Statos.\nTherefore, it is absurd   to talk of Canadian railways surrendering   their liberty of action to an  alien  commission\nentirely out of sympathy with thom.\nPRIVILEGES,   NOT   RIGHTS.\nThe war correspondents, British and\nAmerican, who were  with   Kitchener\nin   tho   Soudan, complain of   ths disabilities   under   whieh   they   worked\nowing   to    tho    restrictions,   if   not\nslights,   put   upon   them  by   General\nKitchener. Tho English correspondents\nare rapidly falling into  tho error their\nAmerican  conferres   generally   make,\nthat they have special privileges which\nplace them before   others.    The  newspaper man, no matter what his standing, has   no \"rights\" which   are   not\nenjoyed by other individuals. Through\ncourtesy newspaper men   enjoy certain\nprivileges not   extended  to others, but\nnone  of   these   can  bo claimed   as  a\nright   and  if   any of   them   be withdrawn tho newspaper man may be   incommoded but tbey cannot complain of\nany   infringement   of   their  liberties.\nAmerican newspaper men   proceed  on\nthe   assumption   that   they   are privileged persons   and   tliey thrust themselves into  all   companies   publishing\nwhat they hear, and   often what   they\ndo not hear, without   regard   to consequences,    Among   the   duties   of   the\nSpanish   spies   in   Canada   during the\nlate war with Spain was   lo watch the\nAmerican press   for  information valuable to   the   Spanish   government and\nthe reckless way   in which   the   New-\nYork     and    other    papers    revealed\nmilitary and naval plans made the spy\nservice valuable.    English correspondents, however, and English  papers are\nnot given to  prying  into and publishing government   matters which should\nbe kept secrot and  it is difficult to understand why   General  Kitchener  refused to allow them to accompouy him\nto Fashoda.    He had   his   reasons   or\nhe would not havo taken  such action.\nDuring the rebellion in   the  Canadian\nNorth West the   lato General  Middle-\nton excluded newspaper correspondents\nTin' Methodist conference at Toronto\nbas   decided   that   members   of     the\nchurch who  go to theatres  or  dances\nor   have   dances   or   card  playing  iu\ntheir houses will be  expelled.    During\nthe   debate   Mr.  Edward   Gurney, the\nwell known Toronto  manufacturer  in\nreply   to   Mr. John T. Moore, another\nwell  known   Toronto   man,   said   he\nwould as soon play a game of  cards as\nread a novel, yet   it was  asserted that\ncard playing led straight to hell.   Bro.\nMoore    replied   that  not ouly    card\nplaying but dancing,  though  countenanced by Victoria, the purest sovereign\nnn earth, led   down  to   hell,  to wbicb\nMr. Gurney   made   rejoinder   tbat the\nman wbo thought,   so   was a candidate\nfor   a   lunatic   asylum.    The   freedom\nwith   which   some   persons   condemn\notliers to hell would be indeed shocking\ndid we not know that   the   destiny   of\nmen is in mighty  hands,   which   will\ndeal leniently,  is the   confident   hope,\neven    with   offenders   so   debased   as\nthose who so far forgot   themselves  as\nto dance or touch cards.\nGENTS    *   CLOTHING\n^ Real Estate and Insurance Agent.\nZZ Money to Loan.\n^ Rents Collected.\n^ .)o\ufffd\ufffd>o\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.>o\ufffd\ufffd>e>.^.o<..\ufffd\ufffd..o<'<K.<x.\n% The Birkbeck Investment,  Security\n% and Savings Co.\n^~   advance money on Improved Real Estate.

Peters, district,   freight\n(tent uf the 0. P. R., has returned to\ntelson after a trip over the Crow's\nfeat   Pass   railway, aud  has an inter-\n^tiiiK story tn tell regarding Ihe new\nliiVvav      and   the     country    through\n[nich it runs.\nThe immediate object nf Mr. Peter's\nlip was to make arrangements fnr tlm\nlandling of freight over the new line,\nVhich will he open ns far as Kootenay\nkke landing by October I. As the\nl:ows and steamers necessary to make\ntater connection   between   Kootenay\nmuling and Nelson arc now available,\nlie through line will bo almost iniine-\nfiately open, though it is not antioi-\nfated   it   will   be   possible to   handle\negular traffic   before    the end of   No-\n| ember,\nUntil the road between Kootenay\nJanding and Nelson is open,the former\nfclace will be the terminus of the line,\nfhe comoany is not bound by its\nCharter to' have this part of the line\nL'pen until 11)00.and it has not yet been\n' eided, whether or no lhe full limit\n\\.{ tune will be taken advantage of.\nCROW'S NKST PASS COAL.\nMr    Peters   was   shown     over   the\nJrow's Nest t'oal company's  mines at\nFernie, and  says   there   are  immense\nQuantities   of  ooal   tbere, tbe   mines\nfeing   probably   the   largest   in    the\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd,-orld.    It   is   of   very   fine   quality,\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdarni},' an unusually   large percentage\nhf fixed carbon.\nThe coal is   now   being   used on tlie\ncomotives   in   the    line,     and   Mr.\n[aiicv savs it is tlie  best coal for locomotives   that   he  has  ever seen, as it\nBUerateS more heat and   leaves   fewer\nlinker than any other.    Tbe I!. P. R.\nIre now using BO tons per day on their\n|)comotives.\nMr. Peters has made arrangements\nlor the immediate shipping of five or\nlix cars of tho coal, one of which will\nle sent to each of the different smelt-\nlrs, and also a ear to each of the towns\nIf Nelson, Rossland and Sandon. As\nIio coal is peculiarly adapted for\nlomestio puproses, house holders will\nlhus have an opportunity of testing it\nefore making their arrangements tor\nBio winter. The shipment may hi expected in Nelson in ahout two weeks\nlime.\nRAPID   CONSTRUCTION.\nThe   construction     of   the    Crow's\nest Pass railway is a  record for good\nad rapid   railway construction.    The\nB2 miles of road has been   laid   ia   13\nlionths, notwithstanding  great   natural obstacles and the   distance of   the\nfork   from   the  base of   supplies.    It\njas been necessary to   build   a   wagon\npad the entire   ltngth   of   the line in\nIrder to get   in   the necessary supplies\nIf the   immense  number of  laborers.\nlul this has considerably retarded contraction.    Since   crossing     Kootenay\n[ver, tracklaying   bas proceeded at an\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdWage rate of 3:,.i miles per day.\n1 The credit of   this spleudid aehieve-\nleut is duo to M. J. Haney, who  has\ntccessfully surmounted the  numerous\nfffleulties and   delays necessarily   at-\nImdant   on   a   work of   such magni-\n[ule, everything   being   so   organized\nhat the whole undertaking   proceeded\n[iith the regularity und  precision of a\nliachiuo.\nE^ST   KOOTENAY  MINES.\n] Mr. Peters also gave  a  very favor-\npie report of the mines he had visited,\nthe St, Eugene, the Moyie and the\nLake Shore more especially. Each of\nthese properties contains immense\nbodies of galena ore, larger, probably\nthan any to be found in the Slocan,\nthe ore, however, is of lower grade than\nthat which usually obtains in the latter district, bearing about the same\nvalues as are generally found iu the\nshipping mines of the Coeur d'Alenes.\nThe ore, too, is easy to mine, aud the\nlust transportation facilities are now\navailable owing to the advent of the\nrailroad.\nTho St. Eugene is owned by Messrs.\n,T. A. Pinch aud John Cronin, one of\nthe original locators. They intend to\nerect a concentrator in the spring.\nTbe Movie is now under bond to an\nEngl ish\" syndicate for $125,000. All of\nthese mines will begin shipping as\nsoon as the railroad cau handle the\nore.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd    IN THE SLOCAN.\nAfter returning from the Crow's\nNest Pass, Mr. Peters proceeded to\nSandon in company with Mr. James\nOborne of  the  0. P. R., who is Mr.\nShaughnessy'S assistant. He reports\nlhal the mines are looking well, and\nthat, the business conditions of the\ngreat, silver eamp are improving in a\nmost  satisfactory way.\nTho party paid a visit to several\nmines, and Mr. Peters reports that the\nLast Chance, ou which a tramway is\nbeing constructed, is showing up well,\nthe Noble Five is being systematically\ndeveloped wilh encouraging results,\nwhile the Slocan Star never looked\nbetter. P. Hickey is working the Ivanhoe on Sandon ereek, and has a large\nbody of ore blocked out. He intends\nto start rawhiding as soon as the\nsnow comes, and will put in a tram\nnext spring.\nIn this connection it may be stated\nthat hitherto, all Sloean ores destined\nfor eastern smelters liave been sent\nliy way of Hevesltnke. Nnw that the\n(jrow's Nest Pass road is available they\nwill pass through Nelson instead and a\nconsiderable   increase in the local staff\nf llie O. P.
