P., replies in tbe Times today to Sir\nClmrles Tapper's attack upon him because he opposed the Pacific cable ii.\nwhich he says he will oppose all Canadian demands on the pockets of the\nBritish people for large cash contributions or guarantees so long as Canadian\nstatesmen fence, and the Dominion\nneither pays nor guarantees a brass\nfarthing toward the maintenance of tbe\n1 British war fleet.\non tbe government why the concessions\nasked for by the Dunsmuir government\nshould he granted.\n\"In regard to Oriental immigration\nI may say that the government la strong\nly opposed lu lhe it flux of this (lass.\nTne dominion government bas disallowed lhe acts passed lam season, but 1 Intend to have them re enacted as soon as\nthe linn-.'- meets, lo show tbat tbe people\nnl British Columbia are in dead earnest\non this question \"\nWhen Colonel Prior was asked if lhe\ngnvrriimeut would be sustained, be replied: \"It will be. We have a decided\nuujority.\"\nIT IS A CO THIS MELT \"d ,he l0*\"s \" \"\"\nHOCKEY MEETING\n\"I am not in f.ivo- of the 2 per cent\nminim,, lax The actual Htliouud col\nlected is not material, but l| b*-ars unfairly 011 low grade ores in comparison\nto high grade ores, and the sentiment\nnf Ihe investing public is against it. Tbe\nsystem of luxation on mining development will have tu be attended to and\nrevised before British Columbia can\ngain the confidence of Investors. 1 intend to see that it Is revised at once.\"\nThe foregoing statement is credited\nto premier Prior in an interview with\na Vancouver press representative on\nMonday last. He is further reported as\nhaving said:\n\"Tbe time has come when tbe government's ordinary expenditures should\nbe kept within the revenue. I do not\ntbink the province should float any\nmore loans except for specific purposes,\nsuch as railway development.\nI believe tbe finance minister ia doing quite right in trying lo gel In all\ntaxes In arrears. It is not fair that one\nshould pay and another should get out\nof paying taxes.\nIn regard lo the West Yale constituency, the government never bad any\nintention of leaving West Yale unrepresented at tbe next session of the house.\nThey never bad any idea but stltuency\nbefore the house sits.\nRegarding the railway policy, I\nBrmly believe It Is ibe boimden duty of\ntbe government lo formulate a railway\npolicy. No country like British Columbia can he developed without being\nopened up hy railways and it is the\npolicy of the government to develop the\nprovince by railroad building. The government Will assist railroads where necessary. If assistance is given, however,\nit will, I hnpe, take the fort:, nf land\nsubsidies under such restrictions and\nconditions ns will promote settlement\nand development. I believe tbat a line\nof railway from Vancouver to the north\nwould be a laudable enterprise aud well\nworthy nf assistance. I also believe we\nshould have another transcontinental\nline from the Rocktesdown to the Coast.\nI believe tbat such a railway should\ncome through Cariboo, then down to\nBute inlet and across to the island, thus\npassing through tbe lower portion ol\nthe prtvince, where tbe population is\nmore thickly distributed. I do not approve of giving assistance to the scheme\nto run tbe railway to Port Simpson,\nthus building up a rival city to Vancouver, Victoria and other coast cities.\nWhat is wanted is a line of more immediate advantage to the present centres\nof population. I think a great deal\ncould be done In tlie way of developing\ntbe resources of this province by the\nconstruction of narrow gunge railways\nas feeders for tbe main lines. Tbe\nCoast*Kootenay road is also a grave\nnecessity antl must be built, as well as\nsome othe-r roads in the Interior,\nRegurding the reqiest made ofthe\ngovernment by men aud companies interested in deep placer nml hydianilc\nmining that placer, mid hydraulic claims\nbe crown granted, I will say tbat it is a\ndfliicult problem to deal with. Tnere\nis opposition to tbe scheme hy many\nIndividual placer miners. I can say,\nhowever, that some alterations will be\nmade in the act providing for belter\ntitles to such land at present.\n\"Ar* lo immigration, I believe tbere\nibniild be a general scheme of survey\nof unoccupied government laud, ao that\nwhen intending settlers present themselves or write for in bu ination regarding desirable locations, the government\nmay be able to iiilorm them as lo local\nconditions, extent and topography of\neach section of the province wliere\nsettlement \\n desirable, the nature of the\nsoil, possibilities nf livlihnod nnd conditions prevailing as in trauspoitattuii.\nIt would be an expensive undertaking,\nbut it Is very desirable to bave the lands\nofthe province taken up by good settlers\nand tbe expenditure would well repay\nthe province Ol course, tbe scheme\nwould have to lie carried out gradually.\n'\u25a0Regaidiug the unfair terms giveu\nBritish Columbia by tbe dominion gov\nernuient, I am going to Ottawa to talk\nthe matter over with Premier Laurier\nand his colleagues. Owing to our extent of territory and the inaccessibility\nin many regions, the cost of administration in British Columbia is very\nheavy, nnd as is Veil known, we pay\nJz.ooo.ooo more anuunlly into the dominion treasury than we get back.

It wae first estimated tbat about $50-000 should be raited, of which $40,000 would need be\nspent in construction. It is now planned\nto raise 8100,000 and give a working\ncapital of $60,000. Tbe money will probably be raised on the security of mortgage bonds Issued by the company\nThe plant bas a nominal capacity\nof 100 tons, but lit actaal\ncapacity is expected to be nearer 130\ntons a day.

It means simply\nthat the parties nre tu comb together, tu lay aside all considerations of\nsuperior force or cleverness, and simply to say about each proposition us\nIt comes up: \"Is it (air?

But It would he\nequally foolish to full to re.'ogntze\nthut it forms one of the main obstacles tu the fair settlement uf labor disputes,\nTiie remedy, as it seems to us, Is\nnot tu ignore the fighting Instinct\ntiiut is intuitu in the meekest of men.\nbut tu remember that all the struggles In which they may engage are\nsubsidiary tu the buttle of life\u2014the\nman's endeavor to gain for himself\nnnd those who are dear to bim not\nonly fund und shelter uud rluthing.\nbut the free growth and development\nOf ovary  human faculty.    There is no\nreason why the workman should not\nsympathize with the large plans of\nthe capitalist\u2014not the mere money-\ngrubber, but the genuine captain of\nIndustry, But that Involves a cor-\nrespunding obligation  on  the part of\nthe emi'luyer\u2014u, genuine liiuiiuti sympathy with tiie plans of thu artisan,\nhis ambitions fur himself and his\nfamily, bis desire that they should\nreach the highest place tu which they\nare entitled by ability una; character,\nSome employers, dimly perceiving\ntbls ubllgutiun, estubiish bulls, places\nof amusement, e'tc., fur their workmen. The object is good, but the\nbest  means of attuiuliig it  is simple\nfair play\u2014the payment of fair wages.\nThe object uf arbitration ami conciliation is tu bring men togctbnr un\nthut basis. One is to strive not to\nwin un advantage over tbe other by\nforce or cunning, but to show thut\nhis claim is full- und reasonable,\nThere is nothing visionary in this.\nIt happens every day iu discussions\nbetween reasonable men, In such discussions it often happens thut some*\nthing is said which strikes home to\na muii's reason or conscience. In\nthe beat of argument he muy not admit It; he mny search about fur soma\nplausible utiHWer; but if he Is a man\nof bruins uud limirt and bowels uf\ncompassion, be will sooner ur later\nyield to the appeal. That Is what 1b\nmeant by arbitration and conciliation. It is not a cunning, cut-nnd.\ndried device, to be substituted for\nstrikes and litigation It Is simply\na means of bringing men together\nwltb their best side uppermost, in a\nspirit uf good-temper, justice and\nreasonableness.\nPractically it wus on these linns\nthut Mr, Ames und bis co-workers\nproceeded, uud It is Impossible to\npraise their services too highly.

To these niny be\nadded a fifth, thut represented by\nMarconi's exploit last week, mid this\nIk undoubtedly the most wonderful of\nthem all, for no mute extraordinary\nconception hus ever yet had its birth\nfrom the mind of the most imaginative novelist than this seemingly incredible feut of transmitting intelligible signuls over 2.1IU0 miles of\nrtpace, without wire or cable ur any\nother visible or tangible ugetu-y\nwhatever.\nThe story of his early experiments\nand gradual success in the matter of\nwireless telegraphy is un oft-tuld\ntale. A special correspondent of The\n(J lobe takes up the parable where,\nhaving accomplished everything that\nwas possible within the limited ocean\nareas which separate the British isles\nfrom the European continent, this\nscientific Alexander tinned in search\noi new worlds to conquer, To n genius of his tratiscendant ability,\nboundless energy and ull-eiubiucing\ncapacity the prospect of eventually\nspanning the Atlantic und linking\ntogether the two hemispheres by Ins\nelectric waves must have been ever\nthe dream of his life, the ambition\nwhich spurred him on to attain\ncomparatively great things uud to\nattempt even greater When his experiments between England and\nFrance were shown to be u complete\nsuccess, and the llritisli Admiralty\nhad set Us seal of approval upon\nths system hy Installing it upon several Warships, he induced hit\ncompany to establish a large power\nplant at Poldhu, Cornwall, for still\nmore important tests. As compared\nwith    his ordinary stations, located\naround the llritisli coasts, and used\nmainly for murine purposes, this\nPoldhu depot possessed powers about\nuue hundred times greater.\nThe Mat-titsarr I aad.\nIt consists of ihe buildings wherein\nthe generutors ami Instruments aie\nstored In *Jn inasis. each BIO feet\nhigh, supporting aerial wires. Hint so\nconnected us to form n gigantic conductor by means ol which the volume uf electricity produced iu the\ngenerator is forced through the wires\nund projected Into spice, causing the\noscillations of other waves, which\nrudluie through the atliinspliPre, traveling outwards in overy direction\nto ihe uttermost cuds ol tin- earth.\nPoldhu station was bulll some eight\nmonths ago. hut was portly blown\ndown In the bin gale which swept\nthe English nmmiei m September,\nm>d if not yet completely    restored\nHut  It   proved  sullMi-iitl**,   eflcctlve   to\nenable Mr Marconi, in Octoboi and\nNovember,  to oxperlineul       having\ngreat   things in view    With tlioll   most\ndistant station, that at Orookhaven\nou the coast of Irolftnd 996 miles\naway     While he was receiving    men\nsages at   thi  latter poat,  be observed\nthut the strength ut the signals\nwhich were recorded was very great.\n\u25a0u much su, Indeed, that his long ex\npetteine  tn  the subject  enuMed    him\nto conclude that thoy would manifest an observable activity at a distance ten times us im As it was Imperative thut it sueh a result was\nobtainable the facts should ha dotor-\ntiiiued \u00abt soon as poSllblo, Mr Mar-\ncold determined to take slni* at the\nsurliest convenient date for New-\nliiuiidiand. ihe nearest part of the\nwestern hemisphere t<> tin* Drltlah\ncoast, and therefore the natural one\nfi(jiu which tu make tin- requisite observations As the momentous slep\nhe was taking represented such uu\namazing extension of the existing\nscope of the system, he wisely decided to keep secret the real object ot\ntie tulsulon to the colony,\nkoaiuat far lavracr,\nHe shrewdly reasoned that, If ha\nstated his purpose beforehand and\nfailed, the world would discredit Ids\nInvention in its modest form, while\nif he failed now, he would try again\ninter, and If he succeedod his success\nwould be all the greater from coming upon the world so unexpected\\yf\nFortunately for him a Ingltiimite reason for his visiting Newfoundland existed in the fact that he was interested tn the possibility of signalling\nthe Cunard liners traversing the\nocean beyond thu Orund Banks, 400\nniiliis from that const, and he announced his Intention of undertaking\nexperiments looking to thut object,\n* sufficiently ambitious one in tha\nminds of the public, seeing that It\nrepresented doubling his previous attainments. He left England on Nov.\n36th on the Allan liner Sardinian,\nand arrived at St. John's on Friday,\nDec. dtik He wus accompanied by his\ntwo assistants, Messrs. Kemp and\none' they brought with them\nall requisite apparatus and alee two\nballoons and six kites, for the pur-\npOSS of elevating their aerial wires,\nso that thu signals, diffused through\nthe ether, might be caught in passing\naud recorded on his inst rumen ts lo\ncated in some suitable building at\nthe base ul the wire.\nOn   arriving,   ami   before   beginning\noperations, he waited upou the Governor, Mir Cavendish Iloyle. the Pre\nmier, Sir Robert Bond, ami the members of the Ministry, who promised\nhim  the hearty CO-opui'UtloU    ot   the\nGovernment am) placed ihe resources\nol unv department at bin itispusai\ntu facilitate Ids work Thoy uiiu offered him the temporary use of such\nIrinds as he might require for the\nerection of depots at   Ciipe   Mare     ur\nelse whore, if he dulermlueil lo rsi.ib-\nlisli muium stations, which it was\nthen understood ho contemplated   lie\ndecided tu begin his work un Signul\nMill, a lofty eminence overlooking\ntlie port and forming the natural\nbulwark which protects it Ironi ihe\nfury uf thc Atlantic surges 'I his\nhill Is crowned by a plateau twu\naires In extent, aHunling an ample\narea for munijuihiliiig Uie kites aud\nballoons nnil ou a crag above the\nharbor is the new Cabot Memorial\nTower designed as a signal station.\nIn tlie vicinity Is an old military\nbarrack, now used as a hospital, and\nIn part of this lhe Marconi apparatus\nwas set up. It consisted of a very\nsensitive coherer, uu electric battery\nand a telephone.\nfaraaaaaal SUtlaa  Nat  Haa-Jad.\nMr. Marconi, for the purposes Immediately iu view, did not require a\npermanent station at this point, his\nequipment of balloons and kites being regarded as adequate, seeing that\nhe could always fall buck upon the\nerection of u high mast or stall, the\nappliance with which the public have\nbecome most familiar in connection\nwith his work. Accordingly, on\nMonday, December y, be and his\naides began their tabors on Signal\nHill. Uy Wednesday they had in-\nlluted their balloon, and it made its\nfirst ascent, only to break clear after\na short while and drift away to parts\nunknown. It wus a ballouii 14 feet\nin diameter, and with a cubic capacity of 1,400 feet, charged wllh\nhydrogen gas aud designed to uphold the \"aerial,\" which weighed\nabout ten pounds, besides a slay to\nhold lhe sphere comparatively motionless. Ou Thursduy he succeeded\niu elevating one uf his kites to a\nheight of 4UO feet, it keeping the\n\"aerial\" iu position, and by this\nmeans he was fortunate in being able\nto receive the tnins-in*t-aiiic signals,\nwhich have annihilated space and\nmade the abandonment of the submarine cable us certain as lhat the\nelectric light has superseded the tallow candle. In order lhat readers\nmny understand how it wns done 1\nmust explain that Mr. Marconi before leaving England prepared a series of Instructions for the guidance\nof the chief electrician at Poldhu Hta-\ntion, Cornwall, Mr. Marconi was\nkind enough to show me his press-\nropled duplicates of these Instructions of his official letter-book, They\nIntimated thut, after bis arrival in\nSt., -John's, he would wire a certain\ndale (as, Tuesday. December UM. to\nthe Poldhu operator, who was every\nday after receipt uf this cablegram\nenjoined    to    make the signal  \"S\"\n(Which tetter is represented in the\nMoras cods by three dots, thus . . ,),\nat regular Intervals daily during the\nhours uf 9 to A p tn .

The\nhours given were in local time at\nSt John's II 80 n m lo li Hn p. m.,\nthe most convenient period for winking at St, John's, and Mr Marconi's idea was lhat If bis theories\nus to the force of the electric waves\nwere correct, he would be ahle to\nreceive distinct ami effective signals\nut  his base at  tins place\nlha Greet:   Hay \u2022' Trial.\nOn Thursday at t'J :\u00bb-i o'clock\ngreat   idea   was  transmit led  uiU\nnssurod fact.    Mr   Marconi at\nliiMrumcnt   in   lhe  old  hospital\nreived ths expected signals.\nin view of the Importance ot\nthat  was al  stake, he dei\ntrust   to the automatic recorder\nto use u  telephone attached lo\ncoherer instead,    Tor ordinary work\na  recorder  is  used   mi  instrument  in\nconnection   wiih   which a tape    Is\nWorked,   lhe   dots   end   dashes     being\nprinted thereon The human ear is,\nhowever, Infinitely mure sensitive\nthan the recorder, and therefore the\ninventor chose it  U  his  medium   for\ndie     reception of the all-Important\nsignals\nThoy were Qlllte audible to himself\nand his assistant, Mr Kemp, who\nalso noted them The two observers\nwere at the Instrument at different\ntimes, and the signals clicked along\nul Irregular intervals during thres\n\u25a0ninnies They Were again noted at\n1  10 p in., aud at 2 30.    They    came\nlu a great number uf the conventional formula, which he had instructed\nlo be bent, Were distinct and unmistakable, and were received about\ntwenty-five times altogether.\nOn Friday again, at 1.80 p m.,\nIhey were repented, hut were less\ndistinct and nut renewed after a\nbrief period, Mr. Mureoni's conclusion being thut the kites, which\nworked badly, prevented the records\nbeing mude with the sume distinctness und regularity us on Tuesday,\njiattti'da?'\u2022 \u00abttaa*at Fella*.\nOn Saturday a further attempt was\nmude to obtain a repetition of the\nsignals, but it wus unsuccessful, owing to adverse weather conditions, it\nbeing found impossible to elevate the\n\"kites, of which no less than three\nwere smashed hy falling to the earth.\nUe thereupon decided to discontinue\nthe experiments until he could erect\na pole 2(10 feet high on Signal Hill,\nor at some other point which possessed the requisite facilities, so\nthat he would thus be rendered Independent of wind or weather. Another\nadvantage with the pole would\nbe that he could use a heavier wire,\nas With a kite, elevated 41)0 feet,\nthe wire must necessarily be slight,\nwhile that suspended from a mast\nbeing stouter, would form a better\nconductor for the electric waves.\nAfter Thursday's experiment Mr.\nMarconi wired his company ln   Lon-\n, don of his success, and invited    ns\nlhe\nIns\not  to\nbut\nthe\nopinion as to tht wisdom uf giving\nthe news tu the press The reply being favorably,  he announced  the fact\nto    the iiew-fptApt-ra and correspond'\netits %\\ !|t John's un Sulmdny\nnight, nnd the World wus toon made\naware that allot her gieui scientific\ntruth b*d tif||\/ established, pvitiapa\nthe igus1 'uU-it'kiiMf iu some rt*\nspecie that the wm id haa ever been\nenlightened by.

Evans and Sons, wholesale druggists, St. Jeun Baptiste\nstreet, we. e afforded a view of a\nportion of old Montreal the other\nday. In tearing down a building on\nSt. Gabriel street, they came across\ntwo large vaults or passage ways,\nextending right down the street.\nOn examination they found that\nthey _yx* built of masonry, several\nfeet thfck, and were covered by a\nroof of solid\" stonework. They were\nprovided with holes tor stove pipes,\nnml every portion was in a perfect\nMute of preservation,\nThe spot is known by historians as\nold Quebec, and was the centre of the\nsettlement at the time the Hudson\nBuy and Great North-Western Fur\ncompanies hrfd stations in Montreal.\nBight along the western side of St.\nGabriel street there are a large\nnumber of cellars joined together by\npassage*?, ft is believed that the\nNorih:W>stern Company had its\nstorerooms situated there. The Idea\nin building the cellars so solidly was\nfor protection in case of fire. Later\non, when Montreal had become a\ncommercial town, and warehouses\nwere being erected, oftentimes they\nwere built on the foundations of\nthese old buildings and sometimes\nright on top of them, as was the\ncase wiih the building at present being pulled down.\nThe long passages found across the\nstreets, which have oftentimes been\nspoken of with a good deal of mystery, were undoubtedly from the convent on St. .loan Baptiste street to\nsome of the outhouses, Before any\nstreets were opened up. the mnis hud\na very large pteco of property.    As\nihey were a cloistered order at the\nlime, (he passageways were built\nUnder the streets in order that the\nnuns should nut be obliged to appear in public. In tliis way a long\npassageway whs constructed under\nSt, Paul street to a gulden situated\non the liver front, aud another Westward under St. Sulpice street into\n\"Voire Maine church, iu order thut\nihe nuns might attend the different\nservices.
