It lacked confirmation\nby official messages, but it is generally accepted aa true. After the defeat of King\nLo Bengula at Buluwayo, he fled to aud\nacrosa the Shangani river pursued by the\nBritish. Captain Wilson and about 40\nmen left the main pursuing column\nand crossed the Shangani after the enemy.\nShortly after he crossed, the river began io\nriae, and hia retreat was cut off. Soon reports began to be received that the whole\nforce had bpen killed and they were be-\nj lieved at the Colonial office, though no offi-\ni cial despatches were received to confirm\n! them. 0 i Dicemher 12th a report was telegraphed from Cape Town that Captain Wil-\nI son's force had difeated the Matabeles\n, under Lo Bmgula and that the natives had\n1 fled. This report, however, like those of\n| the massacre of lhe force,waa not confirmed.\nIt waa then aleo said that Captain Wilson\nwaa understood to be making for Fort\nCharter as the rise in the river prevented\nhis return to Buluwayo.

The American trade has\nsteadily advanced, What effeot the change\nin tho tariff of the Unitid States, will bring\nnb ut, is a matter of coujeoture. The Liu-\ncashir** merchants did not fear 'he McKinley\ntariff because they sent their beat goods to\nthe S'ates.

Brazil\nand the South American republics were\nlaige buyers, but not half the quantity was\nshipped to Chdi as in 1892. The woollen\ntrade be-.ts a bright aspect.

He did not disapprove of the\nPiemier'a acheme for all tbat povided he\nwill give this chance to the settlers we already have. Ins'ead of aiding them financially it would be better to give them roads\nand he thought if they got the roads they\nwould not need much financial aid. Another pdnt was the exclusion of Chinese\nfrom the mines. Petitions sigued not alone\nby miners but by business men, mmufac-\nturers, merchants, lawyer-, and pnaohers\ntoo had been presented to lhe Government\nevery winter for the exclu-iou of Chinese\nfrom the mines but they took uo notice of\nit. He thought, as one who had worked in\nthe minea it was extremely necessary that we\nshould luve men who were capable of understanding the (igus used in the mines, it was\n\ery eaaential to have intelligent, competent\nmen working in the mines where there is\ngas. Where there are say 300 men working in a mine every man haa the lives of the\nwhole number on his, shoulders. The\nHon. Premier has spoken about his railway policy and told us about the magnificent financial standing of this province in the\nmoney markets of the world. How could\nwe have any other than a good standing\nwhen our resources are known. Lock at the\nlumber of our country, the beat iu quality,\nlook at the fish industry. It is not because\nof the excellence of the Government that\nour standing ia good in the markets of the\nworld. This present Government is guaranteeing the interest on railway schemes and\nh-> believed he was not misrepresenting\nwhen ho aaid it was part of their policy to\ngu rurten tho pri::cip:tl too. He believed\nhe (Mr. Davie) had said the Government\nguarantees the principal to certain promoters g 'ing to wot k to build for say 8200,000\nor \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD300,000 which they put in their pockets.\nHe said it was a mighty ticklish piece of\nbusiuess guaranteeing the principal as well\nas the interest on money invest* d in railways. He had read reports in the papers\nthat the Ni.kusp and Slocan railway was\nbeing cooalrue'ed in a most flimsy manner,\nand when a Government guarantees the\nprincipal and interest for building railways\nhe believed it was better for the Government to own them themselves. Now, continued Mr. Foster, if instead of throwing\nmoney away on Government buildings it bad\ntaken part of that money and struck out\ninto the interior he thought that was the\nproper way to do. Mr. Davie haa taken\nsome trouble to impress upon you that all\nthe di^sitisfacion on the mainland has been\ndone away with and he tails about the\npeople who have been advocating separation.\nHe wanted to aay, that since he v as elected\nto represent Nanaimo district, although he\nhad lived on the mainland, he had never\ntaken any part in local politics there, but\nhe did go up to Kamloops to see for himself\nhow the Government stood up there, and\nwhen the Premier telle you, there is no\ndissatisfaction up there, that lhe people are\nsatisfied with the Government, he was\nleading you astray; they are not satisfied up\nth\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDre any more hey are he e und tit y talk\nabout the Government in a way be would\nnot like to hear. When a man docs not\nagree with the Government they oall him a\ncrank, that is what they call them iu Westminster. The Premier was courageous\nenough to address a meeting there and he\ngave him credit for that, beoause if ever a\nman had a meeting agains* him\nhe found he had it there. In respect to the bridge at Westminster\nhe knew that at that time seme people there\nwere of the opinion that Mr. Brown should\nkeep hia mouth abut, because they said they\nwanted that bridge, but it is to the lion, r of\nMr. Brown that he did not keep his mouth\nshut, that he still said what he believed\nabout, the Government building, the Government could give the bridge or not as they\nplea8*d. He believed that was the way the\nvotera should look at. it. There is an attempt in a certain quarter to make the people believe that in making the Government\naware of the wants of this district the\nmembers have not done their duty. He\nBaid thiB was false. Tbeie was only one\nthing and it waa done too Budd nly for\n'hem. The Government passed the School\nAct, which was going to leave Nui'iimo\nwithout Behools. He had a-ked Hon. John\nRobson afterwards to consider the matter\nbut lie would not. As Mr. Keith said, he\nalso tvent down to Viotoria as au independent toimber of that House. The Govern-\nRio|monl in the beginning introduced one or\ntwo good measures. Iu regvdtolhe wild\nlands tax, he (Mr. Foster) was a member of\nthat House and proposed a change from an\nacreage basia lo an ad valorem tax which\nMr. Brown seconded and the Government\nwere so impressed that they withdrew their\nbill and broucht it in as we wan'ed it, and\nhe ws glad to hear Mr. Davie say he pro-\nposed to eo further. But there are other\nthings the Government will have to do.\nThe ' 'otntiiisstoner of Lan-ls and Works pro-\nposed changes in the Land Act making the\nperiod of residence from six months to ten\nmonths, but he believed if the Gove nment\nIrani ed to do right they would not know\nhow. A man cannot possibly live on a raueh\nten months in u year and make hia living on\nit. They ought to put better improvement\nconditions in, und as long aa a man can put\nimprovements on his place he should be allowed to go and work where he pleased. He\nhoped when the time came to elect new\nmen (he did not expect, to run for Nauaimo\ndis'r ot, he snid) that the people would judge\nthe Government on its past works, not on\nits promises, aud if they judged that Government on its past record it must be defeated. There has neon nothing done by\nthe Government in accordance with its\nplatform, except, the bnnusing of some railways. They have taken no stand on the\nChinese question, they have tried to take the\nmanagement of the schools down to Victoria.\n(Continusd on page two.) 2\nNANAIMO, B.

He means we\ncan get lots of money now to bonus railroads\nbut if ho keeps on in that line it won't be\nvery long before our standing in the market\nis impaired.\nMr. McKenzie said on taking the platform, that, for his part the Premier need not\nhave come to Nanaimo to praise the Government.

The\nPremier has heen travelling in different\nparts of the province and be has\ncome down at last to visit ua,\nand saya that thia ia an important district\nand furnishes three-fourths of all the exports of the province. But why is it that\nNanaimo has been so neglected that we ouly\nhave his presence here to-day? It just\nshows that Nanaimo has been thoroughly\nneglected. He would not trust the Government to run a ranch. That was the conclusion be had come to, but he would any that.\nhe had not opposed them on every occasion\nalthough he bad promised to do so. He\ngave them a liberal support whenever he\npossibly could, which was very rarely. He\nhad to admit that the honorable Premier\nwas one of the smartest men in the province and if he only belonged to the opposition he had no doubt they eould make something of him. He was the only man worth\nmentioning in his cabinet, and we must give\nhim credit for that. He had told us that\nthe country was decidedly prosperous, but\nMr. McKenzie denied that. Everywhere you\nwent, Viotoria, Nanaimo, Vancouver or\nWestminster it was the same, and win was\nto blame for it. It was solely on account\nof the vast natural resources of the proviuce that it waa aB prosperous as it was\nto-day. Mr. Davie spoke, he said, of the\nfinancial credit of the province, but they\ndo not know Mr. Davie in Eugland\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthey\nsimply judge the province by what it is;\nby the showing it makes. While he\nblamed the present Government for neglecting the city of Nanaimo, he wouid\nsay it was true equally of the opposition;\nthey also neglected Nanaimo district and he\nthought both sides were equally to blame\nin the matter, but be hoped now that the\nPremier has been here be would make a\nchange for the better. He had found out\nthat anything he recommended personally\nwas sure to be knocked in the head. He\nhad tried to get others to work for Nanaimo\ndistrict hut could not get t'*em.\nMr. Davie's Reply.\nIn rising to reply, Mi. Diviesaid he felt,\npleased and thankful foi t'ie good-humored\nway in which the last speaker and in fact all\nthe speakers had dealt with the subjects.\nNow, he (Mr. McKci z \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD) tells u-* as regards\nthe local wants that both the opposition and\nthe Government have been equally to blame.\nNo doubt there has been n m u y districts a\ncertain amount of n glcjt, still he denied\nthat they were in the deplorable condition\nhere, Mr. McKenzie says they are. On the\ncoutrary, the roada have bem well kept in\nthia district, a*, least us well kept or better\nthan in aome other parts of the province.\nHe Baid he had heard that Cowichan was a\nfavored district, but he had been iu Cowichan when the water had risen over three\nfeet. The roads in this district on the\nwhole have been well looked after. He did\nnot pretend to aay everything wus as well as\nit could be but they have not been\nneglectid. Now, he tells us he would not\ntrust the government to run a ranch. No\nmore would he, nor would he like to trust\nMr. McKenzie himself. Iu regard to the\nstatement, about bia owning an organ heie\nhe wished to say emphatically t at be had\nno more to do with The Daily Telegram\nthan any oue of them. He Baid : \"I had\nno more to do in counselling or aiding it in\ncoming to Nanaimo than any one of you.\"\nHe was not even consulted about it. He\nsaid the gentleman who started it here did\nso without having asked the government tor\nsupport, and that was all he hid to say\nabout The Daily Teleoram, So long as it\nis well conducted, he was satisfied that a\nmorning paper would be acceptable to the\npeople of thia place. (Applause.) He said he\nwaa told the Government were going to be in\nopposition the next time, but he waa not a\nprophet nor the eon of a prophet, and if he\nwere to forecast that the Government were\ngoing lo be in power, he might say something he might be i-orry for afterwards. In\nthe matter of schools, it was not be said,\nthatNanaimo was less justly treated than the\nremainder of the province but that Nauaimo waa not in aa good a position to meet\nthe change aa other portions of the proviuce\nwere. This matter had heen brought to his\nattention by the Board of Trade and he\nhoped the Government would ace its way\nclear to deal us well with Niinaiino us they\nhad done with the other cities prior to the\nnew aot coming into operation. Mr. Foster\nstated that what little good the Government\nhas done had beeu forced on them by the\nindependents iu the House. He would like\nto ci mpure thnt statement wi' h what was\nsaid by Mr. Keith, that, for the firat two or\nthree weeks afier he wob returned he voted\nwith the Government and got al* ug very\nWell, but he telle us that at the end of three\nweeks they found out they could get along\nwithout the independents, The Government had a majority over both the opposition and the independents combined. Yet\nthey turn around and tell you that unless\nthey forced the Government they could get\nnothing. It is perfectly tiue that a\nchange in the wild land tax\nwas advocated by the independents and\ntried by the Government, but he was not\nsure it was a wise change, for as a matter of\nfact no more revenue is collected under the\nplan of 7i cents than the per capita. Ten\nyears ago, when the Government came into\npower, they found lauds taxed $50 an acre\nwhich have been raised to \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD500. Now we\nare told by Mr. Foster that the Chief Commissioner of Lands and works had acted unwisely in the change in the laws as regards\nsettlers'duties; he had changed the time a\nsettler might be away from his land to two\nmonths. But if a man wants to be absent\nas a regular thing for Bix months be has no\nright to hold the premises at all. There\nmay be occasions when a man may have to\nbe absent; for instance if he has no money\nand wants to get something to buy stock,\nthen he has a right to go and work at his\ntrade in order to get the money to buy stock\nand cattle, but there are otherB who do not\nleave their farms for any such purpose and\nwhose object is merely to hold on to their\npre-emption for speculative purposes, and\nwe want to put a stop to that. We allow|a\nman to be absent two months, but if he\nwants to be away longer let him satisfy the\nCommissioner that he has some bona fidt\nreason and he will get permission. Some\nargued that theie wus n > dinger fiom\nChimse in the mines, but for his part he\nwould rather see them excluded. However,\nwhile such an action wp.s proposed as regards\nChineae not one word was said agaiust the\nJapanese until the last session. There was\nuo proportion of that kind. There are\nothers just as dangerous as the C'linese.\nItalians or Austriana and others who do not\nunderstand English and are therefore unable to receive orders when at work are just\nus dangerous, but uot aword was Baid about\nthem. It appeared there was no more\ndanger from Chinamen thau from Japanese,\nAustrians or Italians. There are grave\ndifficulties in the way of passing such au\nact. It iB a question whether it would be\nconstitutional to pass an act excluding one\nnationality from a particular occupation\nwhile others under similar circumatanceB\nwero permitted to contiuue at the Bame\nwork. It was claimed by the owners of\nminea that such a law wua unconstitutional\nand could not be carried e it and if it waB\npassed it. would be the cause of opening up\nendless litigation. The argument advanced\nby him and others was that we did not want\nto eiicouttigo that kind of a fight. If it had\nbeen tested and established that the owners\nhad tho righttoemployChinamenthey wou'd\nhavo hud the mutter in their own hands.\nNow, at the present time and for some years\nthere hus been a voluntary agreement in\nthis matter not to allow a Chinese in this\nplace and surrounding minea to work under\nground. The view he took was that it was\nfar better to allow the mutual understanding to go on aud not provoke unnecessary\nhostility. It is far better not to try to\ninterfere with this good understanding as\nbetween miners and men by introducing\nlegislation which might possibly break up\nthe existing arrangement. This was lhe\nview of the matter that lie took and consequently he deemed it unwise to introduce\nlegislation that might be set aBide. We are\ntold tho country could not help haviug a\ngood status in the money markets of the\nworld considering its lumber and other products aud that the Government is entitled\nto no credit for this state of things. Ona\nmoment's con tiderat ion will show you that\nia wrong. The lumber and coal have beeo\nhere fur centuries and has been to some extent developed and known to exist as well\naa ita fish for the last 20 or 30 years, and\nhow is it then that the pro\nvince has not been able to get on\na good financial basis before? Do you\nmean to tell me the Government has nothing to do with that. Men before lending\ntheir money go aud inquire into our Government. He did not say they knew Mr.\nDavie or any one of the Government but he\nhad no doubt the Government had heen inquired into aud knew tint the Governmeut\nhad had a great deal to do with the matter.\nIu this question of the exclusion of Chin' se\nfrom the mines it had been staled lint the\nGovernment persiste ,tly voted ugainst the\nproposition, but the speaker did not p'ace\nthat matter before them fairly, he did not\ntell the reasons the Government gave for\ntheir action. Pussine on to Borne of the\ncriticisms of lhe Government's railway\npolicy aud their action on tho appointment\nof official lumber scalers the Prerhi *r reiterated bis remarks in his opening address in\nreply and then took up tbe matter of the\nparliament buildings. This was undoubtedly a dead issue now. Mesara. McKenzie and Foster had taken exception to this view but iu bia\nopinion they could not see farther than\ntheir no8eB, Almost everyone admitted the\nneces8ily for moie buildings. Even Mr.\nFoster would have voted for a grant of\n$150,C?0. He could not speak for his colleague, Colonel Baker, in reference to the\nstatement attributed to him ilnt the Government wanted to anchor the capital. He\nmay have Said so but he (Mr. Davie) had\nnot h* urd him. However, it is in the interest of the country to have thia question definitely settled end there hatl been no objection to Victoria as a site for Ihe new build\niugs. Victoria it might be said is the gate\nwuy to the province and there is some reason lo the contention that substantial public\nbuildings erected at this point will make a\ngood impression on visitois to the province.\nIt will show that the Government and people have confidence in their country. One\nhundred and fifty thousand dollars would\nhave put up very ahabby buildinga indeed.\nThe Government concluded that it was necessary to do the woik, and that what was\nworth doing was worth doing well, and so\ndecided to erect buildings that would be a\ncredit to the province. Iu this they were\nonly doing what other countries had done.\nMr. Keith tells us that he opposes the\ngiving away of lands and that thecountty\nshould keep them, and in replying to the\nCrofters scheme that the whole of the public\nlands had been given away. This\nstatement was absurd. The lauds were\nexempt from laxea for only live years which\nwas to have been one of the cons derations\nfor the expenditure of au immense amount\nof money in the development of our resources. Public hinds unsold yield nothing\nto the Government bul when once sold arc\nsubject to luxation, and are thereaf er a\ncontinual source of revenue to the Govern-\nment. The first sale price is of small ini\nportance. The luxes are what the people\nwant so aB to reduce our ol her tuxes. Were\nthe Government to keep the lands it would\nreduce lhe people to the position of slaves\nThe true principles of government are to\ntransfer lhe lands to private ownerships 80\nthat the country o.n reap the benefit from\ntaxes, Tne eharg\"s that lhe parliament\nbuildings were being erected in Victoria to\nincrease ihe value of lands owned by ministers were too absurd for nolice. So also\nwere the charges that the court house wu8\nelected in Vancouver because Mr. Home\nowned pioperly in close proximity there o\nand the bridge in New Westminster he\ni*uu...e Mr. Punch had owned property in\nthat vicinity and had accepted these as the\nprice of their support of the Government.\nHe had always considered Mr. Keith and\nMr. Ftmter honest meu but he would remind them to remember that men who are\nalwaya parading their own honesty and\nclaim that they are the only honeat men are\nalways looked upon with suspicion.\nRegarding the charge made by Mr. Keith\nthat Nanaimo was made a suburb of Victoria in reference to court matters he Baid\nhe could only repeat hia reply to the Board\nof Trade on the previous day which Bbuwed\nconclusively\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand any lawyer in the city\nwould endorse the statement\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthat it was\nhis Government that had emancipated thiB\ncity and diatrict from Victoria in court\nbusiness.\nAs he told the Board of Trade the day\nbefore a registry offioe would come in due\ntime. It cannot be done in a few months\nThe creation of Kamloops district as a sop-\nai.i* e land registry district entailed a work\nof nearly a year in transcribing tbe records\nat Viotoria. This had just been completed\nand while it was going on the transcribing\noi records for the Nanaimo district could\nnot possibly have been done. The local\nmembers knew this very well. He hoped, |\nhowever, in the near future to be able to\nbegin work in this direction f**r Nanuimo\nMr Keith had auid that not one\nrailway out of lhe twenty given\nfranchises bad ever been built or operated.\nHe was about right perhaps but he (Mr.\nDavie) oould say that since the granting of\nthe charter to the Esqnimalt and Nanaimo\nRailway Company not a single railway grant\nhad been given with a perpetual freedom\nfrom taxation. The fact that roads were\nnot built could not be helped. This was\nthe case in every new country. The Government were only anxious to see the\ncountry opened up and settled.\nWhen Mr Keith said that the Government hud full information laat session on\nthe census question he was making an nb-\naurd and rash statement. Except, him-\nself and bis colic >gues no one kue-v the information the Government had. However,\nno matter what the Government might do\nMr. Keith aud Mr. FoBier would be dia-\naatiafied.\nThe Premier again thanked them for the\nsplendid reception he had received and the\nmeeting dispersed.\nPOLICE COURT.\nIu the city police court yest, rday, Magistrates Planta and Bate presiding.

DAVIE'S SPEECH.\nThe Viotoria Daily Times of Tuesday reports Mr. Davie as speaking as follows of\nhimself in his address at the Opera House of\nthis city ou Saturday -.\n\"It will be for you to say in a few months\nif you wish to change the government.\nWhile I have no intention of relinquishing\nthe reigns of governmeut, it will matter\nlittle to me if you people decide otherwise\nas I have a very lucrative practice and\ntherefore it will not affect me. I have acquired wealth aud lands; wheher wisely or\nunwisely, 1 desire to see the province prosper. If financial circles had not had confidence in the government the province would\nnot be placed second iu the colonial money\ncircles of the world. It will rest with you\nwhether we are to go back to power or not.\"\nWhat Mr. Davie did say on this point\nwas:\n\"While having no intention of relinquishing the; reics of government unless the people de.iired it, to him pereoniUy to be iu\npolitics was a matter of loss tiuincially, as\nthose who have know., htm ktmw that he\nhad a lucrative praotice, which he has been\ncompelled to relwquith; iu fuc lie would bo\nbetter off from a point of personal profit if\nhe were relegated to Btay at home. He had\nshown them be w,,s m*i blind t** the vas*\ninterests of this country and the great responsibility which rested upon him. Everything he had made ,n his pruc ice he had\nwisely or unwisely invested in this province\naud ha*l uo desire bul for the welf ,re of the\nprovince whioh meant also his own individual tucce.ss.\"\nIt seems rather a p ior policy on the part\nof the Opposition press, and poor as it is\nvery unscrupulous, thus to misreport the\nPremier, and lo put in his mouth words and\nseutimente which he never uttered or dreamed of uttering, Yet this seems to be the\nbest that the Opposition press and so called\nIndependent press of British Columbia is\ncapable of doing. This is surely a miserable\nstyle of political warfare, and will no*, succeed because it does uot deserve to do so.\nThe report in the Times also Bays that before Mr. Keith rose to speak a vote of\nthanks had only been moved and seconded,\nand Ihtt at the conclusion Mr. Davie forgot\nto put the vote to the meeting, whereas the\nvote was moved, seconded and carried in the\nusual way, unanimously too, before Mr.\nKeith rose to speak.\nTHE LAND POLICY OF THE GOV\nERNMBNT.\nWe recommend to the special attention\nof our readers that portion of the Premier's\naddre.-s at the Opera Hous.) on Satutday\nuight which dealt with the laud policy of\nthe Government. Tnis patt of his speech\nwas publieh'id in our isBue of yesterday, It\nwill repay a second perusal antl careful consideration. The Premier says it is th i purpose of the Governmeut to grant financial\naid lo settlers acquiring small holdings.\nThis they could not do till the finances of\nthe country had first heen placed in a sound\ncondition. This having been happily accomplished, and the credit of this province\nnow standing so high in the Loudon money\nmarket, makes it possible for the (loveru-\nment to borrow the money needed at, u low\nrate of interest. The Government therefore,\nas part of their policy, proposu shortly lo\nadopt a scheme whereby parties taking up\nland, and expending a certain amount of\nmoney in improving it, oan get an advance\nfrom the (luvernmeut at a reasonable rate\nof interest, extended over a period of years,\nby giving their property as security for it.\nThis is an announcement of the very greatest importance, and the policy, if properly\ncarried out, as we believe it will be if the\npresent Government be maintained in office,\nwill be a means leading to the\nspeedy settlement of the waste lands\nof the province by a thriving agricultural\npopulation. This ia a thing very much\nneeded in British Columbia. Not only at\npresent a sufficient quantity of agricultural\nproduce is not raiBed in the province to supply the wants of its people, but the trade of\nits merchants is limited for want of thriving\nand numerous agricultural communities adjacent to its citieB and towns. There is plenty\nof unoccupied land adjacent, much of it good\nland; what ia wanted is to bring settlers upon it. Some of this land is in the hands of\nthe Government; Borne in those of private\npersons, who hold large blocks for the\npurpose of speculation; some has been\ngranted to railway companies. The Premier announces it as the policy of his Government to promote the settlement of such\nlands by actual cultivators, and as far as\npossible to induce aud encourage railway,\ncompanies aud private capitalists holding\nblocks for specu'atiou to divide up their\npioperiy into lo's of convenient size and Bell\nthe same to settlers on favorable termB.\nThe railway companies may be induced to\nsell cheap by the consideration that by\nlocating settlers along their lines, they will\nbe creating traffic for their roads, now\nalmost idle in some cases, and\nin no position to pay dividends on\nthe capital invested iu them. Privateowners\nof large blocks, which they simply hold hut\ndo not cultivate, may be iuduced to sell by\nsotaxingtheir unocupted lauds thatitwill not\npiy to continue to hold them. This is the\npolicy which the Government means to\nadopt. It will throw open the public lands\nto actual settlers only, in fact has done bo\nalready; it will do what it can to induce\nrailway companies to sell their lauda to\nsettlers on favorable terms; and private\nspeculators will have their waste lands so\ntaxed that they will find it more profitable\nto dispose of them lo settlers ou f.dr terms\nthan to continue to hold them. At the\nsame time good faith will be maintained, both\nwith railway companies and capitalists who\nhave got possession of lands. Anything\nlike a policy of confiscation will be avoided,\nand the agreements made by former governments will be respected. When to ihis it is\nadded that the Governmeut will shortly be\nprepared to grant financial aid to settlers at\na low rate of interest, on security of their\nproperty already improved, aud to be further improved with the money advanced by\nthe Government, surely we are jus*, ified in pronouncing the policy of ihe G ivomtnent one\ndeserving of general support, and in anticipating for British Columbia under the\nauspices of the Davie ahniuistalion an era\nof rapid progress, such as has not before\nbeen witnessed.\nINSURANCE\nMARCUS WOLFE\nREAL ESTATE\n1?T2>TJ\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.1>TCT^T, ^-tsr-D G-ZErC-TEIR^IIL aOHVEHVETSSIOUST BROKE]'\nRoom 11, Johnston Slock, Commercial Street, Nanaimo, B.

In a few words Laura\ntold tlio court who she was, and the\nstory of her arrest for the murder of\nRalph Kestrel, and of her unexpected\ndischarge, the constable who had fetched Dorothy testifying to its truth. In\nreply to the formal demand whether he\nwished to ask auy questions, Donovan\nshook his head.\nThen came Dorothy's turn.\n\"BegoiTa!\" muttered the prisoner as\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhe stepped into the box; \"it's two of\n'em she is, entirely;\" and the magistrate's\nkeen eye detected his changing color and\nconfused maimer during Dorothy's circumstantial account of the events of the\nnight of the murder.\nThen Donovan was asked if he had\nanything to object to the police's request\nfor a remand.\n\"Faith, uo,\"said he; \"I reserve my\ndefence. It's a beautiful alabi I can\nprove, be jabers! Constable, will ye\nsend to Miss .Muriel O'Connor?\" and he\ngave her address.\n\"It's not much good that will do you,\"\nreturned the constable as he made an\nentry of tho address in his notebook.\n\"What d'ye mane?\" asked the prisoner quickly.\nThe officer turned to the magistrate.\n\"This Miss Muriel O'Connor, vour\nworship,\" he said, \"is either dead or\ndying.\"\nA ghastly change came over the face\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDf Donovan.\n\"Dead or dying?\" repeated tbe magistrate. \"From what cause?\"\n\"Ay, from what cause?\" repeated\nDonovan, whose features twitched and\nworked with the high excitement under\nWhich he was labouring,\n\"There wns an explosion,\" said the\nconstable slowly, \"at the house named by\nthe prisoner, last evening, supposed to\nbe of au infernal machine containing\ndynamite. Tin* lady. Miss Muriel O'Connor, was picked up insensible and taken\nto the hospital.\"\n\"What!'' shrieked Donovan. \"He\nlies! he lies! I gave the machine to him,\nof Captain Dundas beamed like a new\nrisen sun on all around.\nFor some time Muriel's new-found\nhappiness was disturbed by the dread\nlesl the society of which she had formerly been a member should seek to wreni:\ntheir vengeance on her much-loved husband. Donovan had \"died game,\" refusing to speak a work.\nBut Cecil Chester laughed at Muriel's\nfears, knowing that for their own\nsafety's sake \"the brotherhood\" would\nbe chary of interfering with people who\nknew so much about them as ri: i\n\"Muriel O'Connor\" nnd the late private\nsecretary to the Chief Secretary for lie-\nland.\nCALLING ARAMINTA BACK.\nBy ltD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ii.

D'ye hear?\nAnd I don't care who knows, or what\ncomes of it, if I've killed her!\"\nA terrible apprehension flitted across\nLord Willmore's mind as he listened,\nfor, although warned that all he snid\nwould be taken as evidence agaiusthim,\nDonovan broke out into maledictions\nnpon Cecil Chester, who had 1 een his\nrival in the love of the woman whom ho\nnow accused himself of having* killed\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nCecil Chester, whom he would have destroyed as pitilessly aa he struck down\nRalph Kestrel. Yes, he admit ted all.\nBis wild grief at the supposed destruction of the woman he had vainly adored\nspent itself in fury at the miscarriage of\nhis diabolical vengeance, and he boasted\nexultantly of the occasion on which his\nhate had \"borne its bloody fruit.\nWillmore began an eager question to\nthe constable, but was cut short by the\nusher Calling for silence in the court;'\nthe magistrate, remarking curtly that\nhe remanded the prisoner for a week, j\nintimated that he was waiting to hearj\nthe next case.\nOutside the court, Willmore and Laura\nlearned that a gentleman was with\nMuriel at the time of the explosion. \"Ho j\nwas injured, but not nearly so serioub.y J\nas the lady,\" explained the constable.\n\"She seemed to have tried to protect\nhiin, and got worse hurt herself in consequence. He gave no name, and they\nwere then taken to the same hospital.\"\nBut the constable was wrong. Muriel\nO'Connor was neither deadlier dying;\nfor some time she lay in a very critical\ncondition, and scarcely any hope was entertained of her recovery. At length her\nsplendid constitution triumphed, and,\nsurrounded by all the helpful influences\nof love and friendship, she was nursed\nback to life. Her sorrow at the injustice\nshe had done to Laura was very keen.\nbut tbe latter told her to show her penitence by getting well ns quickly as possible; advice which Muriel followed to\nsuch good effect that on a brilliant morning in October tho bells of St. Snlpice\nrang out a wedding peal which served\nfor both Muriel and Laura. Chester had\nquickly recovered from his injuries, and\nhe and Willmore had stipulated with the\ngirls to make a \"double event\" of it.\nWhen the officiating clergyman, an\nold college chum of the two men. asked\nooncerniug Laura, \"Who giveth this\nwoman?\" a bluff and hearty voioe de-\nolared:\n\"I do, and no son of the sea ever gave\na better;\" and the broad and genial faoe\n\"The Lord gave, and the Lord taketh\naway; Blessed be the name of the Lord.\"\nThe parson's unctuous glibness, in utterance of the pious platitude, seemed to\n.ur.
