CHINESE TORTURE. Fourteen Condemned Hen Made to Dig their.Own Waves Before Suffering: Death. Mr. Yates' Cable Contains the Usual Interesting European Gossip of the Week. A Handsome Memorial to the Britisli Heroes who Died at Waterloo Being Erected. Come quick before CHOICE LOTS are all Sold. A Wholesale Elocution. London, Feb. 18.âDespatches iron} Shanghai give details of a wholesale execution which took place recently in Pekin. The condemned were 14 in number, and were conveyed to the place of execution in waggons. They were dressed in red, their hands were tied behind thein and heavy chains fastened around their necks. The prospect of death, however, had no . effect, and â they seemed utterly indifferent to their fate. At the place of execution the waggons stopped, and the Imperial commissioner read the decree of condemnation. Nino prisoners were to be beheaded and five to be hanged. The former were placed in front of the place assigned to receive their bodies. Their faces were painted red and their red clothes were stripped from them,.and each one was forced to dig a grave for himself two feet in depth. The subsequent work of the executioner was speedy,' and in a very few minutes nine were beheaded mm five strangled. The bodieB of the latter were stretched on the ground and the officers pinned on each a large paper giving the name and crime of the condemned. The bodies were exposed to the prey of carrion birds. An immense throng flocked to Pekin from the neighborly country to witness the execution. Count Andraisey Dead. Vienna, Feb. 18.âCount AndraBaey died at three o'clock this morning. Yatei' Cable. London, Feb. 18.âThe German Emperor's letter to the working classes does not meet approval from the German aristocracy. The court attributes this to the influeuce of the Empress Frederick, Her son, it is now seen, haB imbibed more of the strongly sentimental side of his father's character than his earlier speeches seemed to indicate. His solicitude for the wage earners has not prevented his German majesty from taking up a new hobby, that of fencing, which he practises for an hour or two every day. Colonel Vondraeky, a gyranaium master, finds him a ready pupil. This official a few years ago introduced a treatment from which the Emperor's left arm derived considerable benefit. A GREAT LOSS. Lord Sydney's death is a very great loss to the Queen, and she felt it very much. For years he has been in most confidential relations with her and the Hoyal Family, and almost daily Mb work was a letter to the Queen relating all social and political news of the day. He adyised her a great deal on matters of business, and about the investment of her money: in which latter capacity he was succeeded hy Lord Cross. The sympathy of everyone is great with Lady Sydney, for after a life of great happiness and devotion she is left a childless widow, and Quite broken down by her loss. Lord Sydney waB in many respects an ideal lord chamberlain, and Iub death severs the one remaining link between the Queen's household and that of the preceding reign. Gout and age have of late years sadly impaired his commanding presence, and on the last occasion he appeared in public, he was unable to ascend the staircase of Buckingham Palace without assistance. Among his colleagues he was popularly known as " Polonius," and upon all questions connected with his particular department he was the greatest living authority. He was a firm believer in blood and merit, and showed little mercy to upstarts and other undeserving aspirants. TUB WATERLOO MEMORIAL. Tho last stone of the base of the Waterloo memorial at Brussels was placed in position last week, nnd Count Jacques Du Lalainy's emblematic figure, which is to crown it,- is now in the caster's hands. It is of collossal size and represents Brittannia on her knees lowering a flag at the tomb of her Waterloo heroes. The whole sum required for the monument has been raised, and there is a small balance on hand. It is hoped either the Prince of Wales or the Duke of Cambridge may be induced to unveil it in July. Two or three other skeletons are to be brought in from the battle field and deposited in the manso- leum below the statute. Count Jacques, though under thirty, is reckoned among the most eminent of living Belgian artists. In America he is favorably known for the figure of Chevalier Robt. De Lasalle, which stands in Lincoln Park, Chicago. THE COSTS OF THE COMMISSION. The Government is satisfied with the report of the Parnell Commission and so are the Irish party, which is paying a high compliment to the impartiality of tlie judges. But after the decree comes the bill and question of costs, which is agitating Downing street and the printing houses. The Government will probably ask for a vote to defray expenses of witnesses, which has always been done in cases of royal commissions. The shorthand reporters will be paid by the Government, and they are always heavy expenses. It is said it will cost the Times a 1150,000 at the most favorable calculations. Had the case been an overwhelmingly damaging one a public subscription might have been successful, but as the feeling is more negative than anything else, the possibility of such a thing seems remote. The Labor Queition. London, Feb, 17.âEarl Dunraven and Lord Randolph Churchill have consented to receive on Tuesday a deputation from the Miner'B Federation, who will urge their lordships to aid the eight- hour agitation by their influence. It is hinted that Lord Randolph Churchill invited the conference and that he intends to make a reply to tbe deputation that will ocasion some comment. Lord Randolph has been coquetting with the labor question for some time and Ib evidently trying to bring it into politics in some such Bhape so that his ''fourth party" can make capital out of it. At present, however, labor movements are dwarfed by the project of Emperor William in Germany, and everybody Ib waiting to see what will come out of the young Kaiser's conference. It Ib not likely that much of importance will be done in other countries until this striking and unique attempt to solve hy ono supreme effort the long standing and complex labor question has reached its result, In a Dilemma. London, Eeb, 17.âThe government is placed in a peculiar dilemma by the inconclusive nature of the Parnell Commission's report. The report, as it stands, really calls for no action, but to remain passive would be a disastrous policy, in view of the enormous expense involved by the enquiry and the enormous importance which has been placed upon the whole affair. To ignore the report after such a prodigious fuss - has been made over the events leading to its preparation, would throw a wet blanket on the Government and give rise to endless ridicule. On the other hand, to grasp the other horn of the dilemma, interpret the report at its worst and expel the Parnellites against whom nominal findings were made, would necessitate an appeal to the country, and this is something that the Government is very anxious not to riek, in view of the evident loss of To-y strength revealed in the bye-elections. There is, consequently, much curiosity to see how Lord Salisbury will act in the matter. The Latter Day, Saint*. Salt Lake Citv, Utah, Feb. 16.-A few dayB before ChristmaB the Utah Commission's offlce was entered by burglars and an unsuccessful attempt made to steal the books and papers. The Utah Commission is the body having charge of all election matters in the territory, and it keeps all the records pertaining to elections. It was generally supposed that the Mormons were at the bottom of the attempted burglary, for they were desirous about that time of procuring the registration books if possible. On Friday the Mormons began their contest in the Third District Court to compel the Utah Commission to issue to their candidates for the City Council from the third and fourth precincts of this city certificates of election. They have a majority of votes in these precincts, ana if tne court decides that precinct votes count for councilmen instead of the general vote of the city, the Mormons woqld have six out of the fifteen councilmen. The case was set for tomorrow for appearing, but the opinion prevails that the old law is still in force, and that the precinct vote will not count. On Friday night there was another attempt to steal the records of the Utah Commission, but aB the important papers are all in the safe deposit vault of the Union National Bank nothing of consequence was obtained. The burglars, however, stole a gold watch of General McClern and $120. A Great Age. Cumberland City, Tenn., Feb. 16.â William Thornton Bluefleld, a resident of this (Hickman) county, claims to be 127 years of age, and he possesses remarkable proofs of his age. Among these is a very ancient-looking family Bible, in which hiB birth iB recorded aB having taken place on January 3rd, 1763, i:t a village six miles west of Lake Drum- niond, Va. The Bible was printed in the seventeenth century and is regarded as a remarkable curiosity, On the margin of several pages are the dates of births, marriages and deaths. The first cf these gives 1730 as the year of Mr. l'luetiekTs father's birth, while the last i ecords the death last year of Samuel Caxton, of Baton Rouge, aged 70. The list named wbb a grandson of the sur- living William Bluefleld, and his age and relationship are strong proofs of the correctness of the old gentleman's claim. When 27 years of age William emigrated to the source of the Haw river, in Carolina, where he married Martha Welts in 1792, At her death, which occurred in hss than one year after the marriage, 1 e went to Kentucky, where he led a wild and nomadic life until 1828, when he came to middle Tennessee. During his stay of thirty:five years in Kentucky be met Daniel Boone several times. On one occasion he stopped with Colonel Loone six weeks at Boonesborough. a short time before Boone's departure ior Missouri. ^â â âs-.^â. VICTORIA NEWS. - A Great Fire.âHastle A Lockliart's Furniture Store li Destroyed. [From Our Own Correspondent.] Victoria, Feb. 18.â1 ;30 p. m.âA fire bas just broken out iu the basement of HaBtie it Lockhart's furniture establishment on Government Btreet' The fire ia in the business part of the city. At present dense volumes of smoke are pouring from beneath the sidewalk, while two steamers are pouring streams into the building. If the fire is not gotten under control, a disastrous conflagration will be the result. The fire iB near the Bank of British Columbia which, however, is a brick building. The wind is blowing fresh from the north. 1:45 p. m.âDense volumes of smoke continue to pour from beneath the sidewalk in front of HaBtie & Lockhart's and Angus & Gordon's stores. The fire is at present confined to the basement of the former place, but it must havo a firm hold, The steamer "John Grant" is pouring two powerful streams into the fire with apparently no effect. Most of the stock of furniture has been removed. A fresh northerly wind is blowing, which, if the fire Ib not got under control, may send it through the two buildings at the comer of Fort and Government Btreets, There it will stop, as the solid Bank of British Columbia building stands in Its path. The greatest excitement prevails and dense masses of people gathered on the street watching the clouds of choking smoke. The new Merryweather engine is working splendidly. If the fire reaches Sehl's furniture factory, to the north of the building, a disastrous conflagration may ensue. It Ib hoped, however. the water v, ill Boon make some impression on the 8 lines. A disastrous fire began in the Snme spot three years ago, on the night bifore the first overland train reached Port Moody. The whole block was threatened at one time. The Colonist oflce, situated in samo block, iB, however, a solid brick building. 4 p. m.âThe fire is now under control PORT MOODY NEWS. (From Our Own Correnpoudeut.) Mr, Wm.

Worthy Senators Discuss Oe- tails of Dlroroe Procedure A L'On- tranue. Interesting Scenes In the Commons, and Some ot the Debates mid Measures Disposed Of. Ffrom Our Own Correspondent.] THE SENATE. Ottawa, Jan. 8.âLast Thursday the Senate spent nearly all the afternoon in discussing the procedure in receiving petitions for divorces. The spokesmen were Senators Hickey and Miller, the former giving his version only to receive opposition from the latter. Senator Hickey contended that one rule of the Senate ,vas that the petition Bhould be presented in the usual way, and after one sitting day certain proofs Bhould be made at the bar of the Senate. Hon. Mr. Miller was of the opinion that he would be able to show to the House that, the honorable gentleman was quite wrong, both in Iub interpretation of the rule and in the citation he made in support of hiB view, and contended that tho word "presented" is intended to comprise the general procedure whieh takes place in regard to petitions presented to the Senate before they are reforred to the committee. He then callod upon hia honorable friend to rofer to rule 4, and he would find out his error. Then they crossed swords and began to battle in earnest, being at times given a chance to recover from tlieir exhaustion by the assistance rendered by Senators Vidal, Ucott, Kaulbach, Power, Macdonald and Lacoste. The petitions were, however, read, and yesterday the select committee on divorce presented their report on the petition of Christiana F. Glover, which was adopted. The reading of the address, the reply, a few notices of motion, introduction of i few bills, and the above referred to discussion on divorce procedure is all that has been accomplished by the honorable Senate since the opening of Parliament, January 16th, 1890. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House of Commons is where the battle rages, sparks fly, men are wounded in the field,, skillfully doctored and cared for, and renew the struggle. It is a continuous struggle for supremacy and becomes on many occasions quite interesting to the ou-looker. Sir John, mild md confident, smiling as he speaks, i lwaya with the appearance of gayety, listens to the attacks of his opponents, f nd then gently but positively, whether they are wrong or not, tells them that they are. Hon. Mr. FoBter, atern and studious, awaits hie chance to break down the bulwarks of the accusations of the Opposition. Hon, Mr. Chapleau, waving his flowing black head of hair, when called to the front, flashes forth i ito ecstacies of excitement, and cuts t ight and left, over and under, behind End before. Hon.*Macki-nzie Bowell, in calm contentment, keeps his head buried i i the bluebookB. On the other aide we have Hon. Mr. Laurier, quick, sharp, and awaiting his opportunity to catch the enemy sleeping. Sir Richard Cartwright, with his piercing oagle eye, viewing the Minister of Finance and taking his dimensions, intellectually and physically. Mr. McMullen, in deep thought, seeking to put en paper some questions to ask the Government with the view of tearing a hole i i the tent and discovering to outsiders t ie doings of those inside and whero the treasures are hidden. Hon. Mr. Davies, defiant and ready to attack, and with a £ ositi veness that clearly shows that the > ler of a judgeship to him would be eagerly spurned and dashed to the ground with contempt. Mr. Charleton, Meditating over the best plans to be adopted for the observance of tbe Sabbath and the betterment of morality. So here sit the two armies of Dominion legislators, clothed with the garments of trust and wearing the appearance of men possessing the intellectual faculties that Canada expects of them, and which iu the majority of cases they hold. Very few important debates have taken place since the opening nf Parliament. The firat to kill the monotony was the introduction of Mr. McCarthy's Northwest Territories Actâthe dual language. This, of course, brought Messrs. Amyot, Desjurdins, Longelieur, Bergeron, Lari- viere, Chapleau and Laurier to their feet, the three latter gentlemen being particularly hostile. and claiming tnat the bill is an attack on the French nationality. The next particularly important discussion wub that on the estimates. Sir Richard Cartwright and Mr. Foster fought hard and swift, but the estimates, item after item, were passed all the same, So far as the items nave passed the following members took part in the discussion: Sir Richard Cartwright, Hon. Mr. Foster, Hon. Mr, Laurier, Mr. McMullen, Mr, Soiner- ville, Mr. Patterson, Mr. Casey, Hon. Mr. Bowell, Mr. Wilson, Hon. Mr. Chapleau, Hon. Mr, Dewdney, Hon. Mr. Mills, Hon. Mr. Haggard, Mr. Ellis, Mr. Landerkin, Hon. Mr. Curling, Hon. Mr. Tuppor, Sir John A. Macdonald, Mr. Cook. Mr. Brown, Hon. Mr. Colby. Mr. Landerkein moved, "That, whereas distillers are allowed a rebate duty upon malt imported for ubo in the manufacture of spirits for export, it is, In the opinion of thiB House, but just and right that tho farmers and stock misers who import corn to foed cattlo or o her stock for export should also receive a similar rebate. ThiB motion was k st ou a vote of 64 yeas to 70 nays. Messrs., Barnard, Gordon and Mara voted with the majority. Mr. Prior was ab* sent. Tho "Electoral Franchise Act," in* tioducodby Dr, Wilson, haa been dis cussed for two days and is not yet end* ed. It promises to be one of the longest d amissions of tho session. The other matters that called for eon* s derable time of the House in discus- s'ng are "North Shoro Railway," superannuation of the officials of the Quebec post office, Quebec land slide, Independence of Parliament Act, payment and etpenseaof Ministers, chartered hanks a id liquidation, steamship line between Vancouver and Japan, Chinese immigration, tho Jesuits' estate act, bill of exchange, cheques and promissory noteB, J/'r.

The Right to Catoh Seal In Behring Sea. In the Supreme Court ou Wednesday Ust, before Hon. Mr. Justice Drake, a decision was given lu the case of Baxter vs. Jacobs, Soloman Jacobs, the defendant, was owner and master of the sihooner Mollie Adams, In January, 1180, he made a contract with Baxter, oi Seattle, to sell him at a stipulated prico all tho skins taken by his two schooners, the Mollie Adams and the Webster, dur ing the coming year. The Webster was lost, and on the following April the Mollie Adams returned aud delivered her spring catch to Baxter, at Seattle. There was thon a verbal understanding botween thom that the Mollie Adams was to return nnd seal in Behring Sea and deliver skins to Baxter in accordance with the contract. She wont to Bohring Son and returned lust November, but instead of delivering the skins to Baxter, sold them in Victoria. Baxter then brought suit against Solomon Jacobs for damages by oreueh of contract. The defence held that the contract was not valid as sealing in Bebriqg Sea was in violation of the United States statutes, and called Mr. Johnston, of Port Townsend, aB a legal expert, to establish in the court the American law relating thereto. He took the sections of the statutes governing the case, the amendments enacted by congress of 1889 and the President's proclamation. The court decided that the contract waB valid, and refused to recognize the jurisdiction of the United States in Behring Sea outside of one marine league from the shore of the American territory. It was held that section four governed the case and that the law, where a contract was made, had no bearing in court. Baxter was awarded 14,101 damages, Both defendant and plaintiff are American citizens and the schooner was an American vessel. Defendant has been committed to jail in default of payment of the money.â Colonist. *â<â¢ââ¢â- DR. GUTHRIE'S DEFENSE. He Confesses to Being a Fool hut Not A Villain. The Victoria correspondent of the Post-Intelligencer 'writes: Dr. Guthrie has returmed here from WestminBter, the charge of fraud preferred againBt him by the Bank of Montreal there having been dismissed. He has returned to his old love, gambling, and last evening waa feeling particularly good, hie winnings being in the hundreds. While iu this amiable frame of mind he confided all his troubles to the Post-Intelligencer correspondent, being anxious, lie said, to correct a wrong impression about his actions in Seattle. "I know I made a fool of myself in Seattle," he Baid, "but all the same 1 never got $1 by fraud. I owe $2,260 in Seattle, and I'm going to square up as soon as I come back from the East. I was robbed right and left until I left Seattle, and the drafts I eent in to my father averaged $200 a day right along. Then he refused to accept more. "I was at a gambling table one night when a deputy sheriff, a friend of mine, came in and called me out. As soon as we were outside I asked, "What's up;" He had a hack at the door and hustled me into it, telling me warrants had been issued for my arrest and advising me to get out of the city by the next boat. ' 'He went with me to my room and , helped pack my trunk and I took his advice and caught the Premier, landing in Vancouver with just two dollars to my name. All the time he was helping me out he had the warrant for my arrest in hia pocket. "From Vancouver I went to Westminater, where I knew the manager of the Bank of Montreal. I called on him and aBked if he would put through a draft on my father. He was quite willing and refused to take the usual commission. Then as soon aB he aaw that piece in the Post-Intelligencer he swore out a warrant aud I was arrested. The draft was paid by my father the very day it waB due and I have given my lawyers, Eberts & Taylor, instructions to proceed with an action for $10,000 damages for false imprisonment. "In a few days I am going home to Guelph, but am coming back to square things in Seattle and make it warm for tlie newspapers that lied about me. I have been a fool, I know, but I never was a criminal." ASHCROFT NOTES. [From Our ptftt Correspondent.] A very pleasant social gathering, gotten up by the ladies, took place here ou Friday evening, 14th inst, the Wife of Ashcroft and vicinity turning out in full force.. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. Campbell, the Misses Campbell, Mrs. McLeod, Miss Sanford and Mrs. Stevenson of Cache Creek, Mr. and Mrs. Mundorff of Grave Creek, Mr. Wm. Harvey and Dr. Sanson of Clinton, and many others of the same place. The new town hall was tastefully decorated, and the band waB furnished by Prof. Hautier, whose reputation for flrst-class music iB well known to the lovers of good dancing. The floor managers were: C. E. Carey, J. Haddock and Chas. McNichol. Supper was served by the old-time caterers, Bligh and Lynes, of the Ashcroft hotel, and considering the short notice it was aB fine a "layout" aa was ever "turned losse" in this section of the country. It was served under the personal supervision of the ever popular Major Bligh. Several toasts were given and replied to. Jim Newlands told "what he knew about ice," while Billy Lynes rendered "You'll Remember Me," with variations, in a pathetic manner, bringing tears to the eyes of tho most hardened sinner. Joe Burr gave "Little Annie Rooney," the latest craze, in good stylo, and Col. Carey, of the C.P.R., poured forth "what Jim Newlands didn t know about ice." The ladies in general were neatly drossed and presented a handsome appearance. Si, Hemans, who had just returned from the weat in time to "take a hand," was called upon to respond to the toast "What shall we do with our girls?" After wrestling with the subject for some hours he concluded that the hest that could be done with our girls was to "let them alone." Mr, Heman's stock in the matrimonial market immediately dropped. After being confined for nearly a month, Mr. J. Glassey, the enterprising manager of the Ashcroft Hotel, has mado his appearance, and waB cordially received by his many friends and admirers. Ho is a great dea. better, but not aa yet able to attend to business. Mart Eagleson was last week badly kicked on the loft leg by a mule. He is able to be about on crutches. Stock is doing well and the weather his boen particularly fine, and the farmers are looking for a general clear up in tlie near future. Jack McKay, who haB been spending a vacation at Kamloops, has returned and is shaking hands with his many friends here. McNichol and Finney are still working away at their coal mines. They are now down 12 feet with very flattering prospects. The old British Columbian veteran, Col. Chris. Barnes, is hale and hearty aB ever, and jubilant over the prospects of the coming season. Mr. Wm. Walker, of Bonaparte, who h;is been quite ill, is now convalescent. It iB rumored In society circles that Mr. Mitchell, our gentlemanly operator, is about to take unto himself a life partnor.

Somo time ago mention was made of the division of the Work estate among the eight fortunate heirs, The deeds were not completed at that time, however, aud have only now been handed to the owners of the estate.

By the report of the Council proceedings of last night, in another column, it will be seen that the report of the Water Commissioners on the tenders received for the construction of the city water works was roceived aud adopted by the Council, Tho Commissioners reported that they had received fifteen tenders In all, "two of which included " the whole work und the others the " supplying of thu material or a portion " of the work or both," but it is plainly intimated that the lowest tonder received wuuld necessitate the expenditure of "a much larger Bum than the " first estimate," rendering the amount at thu disposal of the Council for the workâabout $176,000âinadequate. The original estimate of the cost of the works is, nevertheless, stated to have been fair one, aud the higher figures of the tenders received are ahown to be the result of a considerable rise in iron and freights. "In view of these facts," con- " eludes the report, "and also that ward " No. 1 and the greater part of ward No. " 6 haa not been included in the distri- " bution system on which tenders were " invited, we would not recommend that " any of these tenders be accepted, but "other tenders be called for after a " short time when tho price of material " may be lower as well as freight, and " some changes may be made in the " specifications bo as to include the " whole city in the distribution system " as well as in some other particulars " which we consider will be iu the in- " terests of the city and tend to make " the works moro complete and efflci- " ent." We quote the report thus at length because the report itself is the beat possible explanation and justification of the Water Commissioners' recommendations and their approval and adoption by the Council. When it is stated, in addition, that the Commissioners and the Council were in possession of information warranting a fair presumption that both iron and freights were about at their "top notch" at present, with a reasonable prospect of a decline iu the hear future, we do not see what other action, in the interests of the city, could have been taken than has boen taken. True, everyone iB anxious that the water works should be got under wuy with as little delay as possible, and the refusal to accept tenders at this time may delay the ultimate completion of the works by a month or bo ; but if this comparatively trifling delay resulted in a saving to the city of thirty, forty, or fifty thousand dollars that would otherwise be squandered in fictitious iron and freight rates, and should also result in better specifications than would appear to exist, from the Commissioners' report, embracing a distribution system for the entire city âwithout which the wator works can never be satisfactory or completeâwe 'believe the brief loss of time referred to would not be begrudged by a single rate* payer or citizen. When all the circumstances are considered, in fact, it is not at all improbable that a judicious delay at this time, to set matters right that have been wrong, as well as to await a more favorable turn of the iron and freight markets, will result in the long run in an actual saving of time as well as money in the construction of the water works. It would, undoubtedly, be In the interest . of contractors, . especially those who undertake to supply the material, that their tenders should be accepted when Iron and freights are at their highest. They would then do the "waiting act" until rates should fall, whon a handsome "scoop" could be made on the city. This would be a legitimate enough trans* action on the part of the contractor, if the city chose to allow it, but the great majority of the ratepayers will prefer that the city, instead of private parties at the city's expense, Bhould benefit by the reasonably anticipated fall iu iron rates and freights, and will, therefore, on this and- the other grounds set forth in the report, approve of the action of the Water Commissioners and the City Council and give both bodies credit for acting ln the city's best interests. ELECTRICITY A8 A PEACEMAKER. " tion to the opposing army. Before go- " ing any further with it I would ask ' your opinion as to the effect upon war ' of an instrument such as I have hint- ' ed at. Would it retard or facilitate 1 war?" The conslderateneBB of the Hghtning- itriking New Jersey inventor is only equalled by the colossal ness of his genius; but he had better put his war-exterminator in the field without delay, as, if it will do one-half of what he so confidently claims for it, it is a dead certainty that it will put an end to war, either by deterring would-be belligerents from coming to blows or by exterminating in short order all who do. After all, the New Jersey man's invention, if it should turn out to be a bona fide affair and not the enthusiastic ravings of a crank, is only in the same line, but on a larger scale, with the " smokeless powder" and otlier recent improvements in wholesale death-dealing appliances, and all have an almost universally conceded tendency to lesson tho chanceB of great wars among the civilized nations of the earth, by acting as a wholesome deterrent, in view of the frightfully unpre cedented slaughter that would inevitably ensue. And thus the very development of the Bcience of war is gradually but surely working its own cure, and this heathenish and brutal manner of settling international disputes bids fair, like the individual duel, to give placo before long to more civilized and Christian methods. A SUBMERGED RAILWAY. A New Jshhky inventor thinks ho has hit upon a method of establishing peace permanently upon the earth by means of electricity. He does not propose to remodel human nature, hut expects to make warfare so deadly that it will be sheer madness for one nation to attack anothor. According to his plan, war- fore would result in the substantial ex termination of all who ventured to engage in it. In a letter to the Western Electrician the inventor describes his Idea thus: "In a word my scheme Is to " produce artificial lightning. Thus far " the experiments have beeu confined " within narrow limits, but with the 41 use of a small dynamo attached to my " invention a slight shock can bo pro- " duced, effective enough to kill tho flies " in a 20x20 room. I claim, with the " use of powerful dynamos, under my " plan, a flush of lightning can be di " reeled against an army a milo or more " away and without injury to the party " operating the gun, scattering death " and consternation among the troops. " With powerful dynamos thousands of " soldiers can be killed at a flash, and a " number of flashes are enough to de* " stroy an army. It oan bo used at any " time except on rainy or damp days, 41 If the effect of giving this discovery 44 would 'be, as I hope, to put an end to " war, I should feel repaid, but I dread 41 to think of electricity being used in "war under iny plan. The conse- 41 quences would be enormous, It " means nothing less than extermina Tuk ruins of Onton, near Bilbao, in the northern part of Spain, have long been celebrated for their richness in the yield of iron ores suitable for the manufacture of steel, but great trouble has heretofore been experienced in the shipment of the mineral on account of the difficulty of placing it on board of the ships. England and the Continent are the great markets for this product. The coast adjacent to these mines is high, rocky and exposed to the full force of the sea, there being no harbors in the immediate vicinity. At the foot of the rocks there is a sloping shore which extends out to a considerable distance, with an even grade. It is upon this incline that the remarkable railway in question, and .which is described at length lu the Scientific American, is constructed. The roadbed of the railway has a length of about 660 feet and a width of 20 feet, upon which two sets of parallel tracks, each 3££ feet wide, are placed, constituting a four-rail railway. The grade is five feet to the hundred. The car which traverses this railway, and upon which the ore is conveyed from the cliffs to the ships, consists of a high metallic tower made in the form of a pyramid having a wide triangular base. The tower Ib mounted on wheels, which run upon the quadruple railway track before mentioned. The platform of the tower, upon which the load of mineral is placed, is about 70 feet high from the track, a height which is sufficient to rise above the decks of ordinary vessels when the tower is run alongside thereof: and from the platform the discharge of the ore is made directly into the holds of the vesaels. This great rolling tower is operated automatically. It is connected to the shore by means of a strong wire cable, which passes over pulleys fastened to the rocks. At the landward end of the cable there are attached some weighted cars that move up and down upon an incline. These form a counterbalance weight for pulling the tower when empty in toward the shore. The mineral to be loaded upon the vessels is brought from the mines, which are not far distant from the coast, upon rope railways mounted upon poBtB, From the mineral dumps upon the rouky heights the mineral is conveyed part way down the cliff through a chute, the end of which projects beyond the cliff, and when the empty towor is drawn to shore by the weighted cars before mentioned, it automatically opens an end gate In the chute and allows the mineral to drop upon the platform in a continuous stream until a weight of ore sufficient to overcome that of tho counterbalancing weight or weighted cars has fallen upon the platform; and when this takes place, the tower, by its own gravity, begins to move down the inclined railway through the water, until it reaches the side of tbe ship, which is anchored fore and aft, and then by the throw of a lever, the platform of the tower boing inclined, the whole load upon the platform is almost instantly deposited upon tho Bhip, going down through suitable slides into the hold thereof. As soon as the discharge of the load takes place, the counterbalancing cars begin to draw the tower inward again toward tho shore, and thus tho operation of moving tho tower back and forth automatically, and automatically loading and discharging itsolf, is carried on with the greatest success. It is said this railway operates even when the sea Is extremely rough. It certainly is a bold undertaking, and reflects the greatest credit upon its constructor, Mr. D. M. Alberto de Palacio. The platform carries for its load one hundred tons of ore. It is said that 6,- 000 tons of ore per day can be put on shipboard by means of this apparatus, the total cost of which was only $18,000. Montreal, Hamilton and other places, accompanied by Messrs. J. J. Curran, M.P., and R. White, M.P., waited upon the Ministers of Finance and Customs at Ottaw** a few days ago. They wanted the duty on boots and shoes increased from 26 to 36 per cent., claiming that aB the duty on the raw material was now 20 per cent., the present duty of 26 per cent, on boots and shoes is not sufficient. Mr. Henry M. Stanley, observes an exchange, is a shrewd business man as well as an intrepid explorer. Prior to setting out on his recent journey across the Dark Continent he made an arrangement with the members of his party by which each bound himself to publish nothing in the nature of a story of the expedition. Mr. Herbert Ward, who waBwith the party, has lately contributed articles to magazines and is now lecturing on Africa, but it will be noticed that he does not deal with tho forbidden topic. Mr. Stanley has a monopoly of that, and in securing the right of publication of his forthcoming book the ScribnerB have won a prize. The Italian heir apparent has reached hiB twentieth year, but he still shares the quiet family life of Iub parents, aud always accompanies the Queen on her visits to different parts of Italy, and to her mother, who resides at Saresa. The Prince of Naples, though pale and slight for his age, enjoys very good health, and has, since the age of nino, never been indisposed even for a single day. He iB grave and thoughtful, fond of serious study, but also extremely fond of shooting. King Humbert intended to present to the heir apparent, on his coming of age, the Palazzo delta Consulta, which is situated quite close to the Qnirinal but even kings cannot give' away what is their own, and so many difficulties arose in connection with the gift that the plan has been abandoned, and the Prince will probably have to be satisfied with the palazziug built by Victor Em* uianuel. The preliminary statements of the Canadian life insurance companies, prepared by Mr. W. Fitzgerald, superintendent of insurance, have been laid on the table of the House of Commons by tho Finance Minister. Tlie total amount of premiums received during the year 1889 was $3,010,857, against $3,200,730111 1888; number of new policies taken up, 22,636, against 21,040; amount of policies, new and taken up, $24,730,776; net amount in force, $125,867,066, against $110,372,160; amount of claims paid, $1,137,001.

It la wonderful how llttio a college education may cost nowadays. Consider* ing tbe generous scholarships, cheap board, low room-rent and ample opportunities of self-help, it may truthfully be said that there is no one so poor in money as to be debarred the privilege and advantage of a college course if ho has pluck and health. This is especially true at Williams. A man really in need of help may receive a scholarship of 800 a year, and in case of extreme need, 8150, This does not depend upon bis ability as a student further than that he must pass his examinations. Board is furnished by the collego at a low figure, and unfurnished rooms aro rented as low as 815 a year for eaoh man. Uoshk'H offering beneficiary aid, the college employs a number of students in college work. Tho monitors, whose only duty is to keep attendance reports, aro paid 816 a year. The oare of a building brings anywhere from 830 to $30, according to the amount of work required. Attendants In the library make from 850 to 8100. The man who rings the chapel bell gets his room and something besides. The organist makes 8150, and every member ot the chapel choir 830. A large number of students are en* gaged ln work independent of the college. Those who wait on table, a favorite employment, get their board free, At present a junior and a sophomore are running an eating-house and paying a large share of their expenses out of the proceeds. Several keep stores, selling atblotio goods and gontlemen'a furnishings, and running Troy laundry agencies. A student from Armenia deals in oriental goods. One enterprising man buys and sella second-hand f urni ture, undoubtedly making a lordly profit at tho hands of unsophisticated freshmen. Members of tbe college quartet and editors of the Weekly and tho Literary Monthly make more or less, hut nothing magnificent. Tutoring brings fair remuneration. A young man working his way through collego iB generally Ill-dressed, ill-fed and ill-boused. Sometimes, however, one meets a type that wears fashionable cloches, boards at "Jimmio's" and rooms in Morgan Hall, hut is as truly working his way as a waiter in the "hash house." This magnificent character plays poker- whenever he oan get any one to play withâand also makes large but judicious bets on tho ball games. He is the parasite of college life, but only very rarely is he to be found at Williams. Occasional sums are made in odd ways. A student last year made himself a railway ticket agent for a week before vacation, and cleared a small fortune; A man from an adjoining country village brought in a quantity of maple sugar from bis father's farm, and drove a thriving trado as long as his stock lasted. Beforo a semi-annual examination a great deal of more or less hasty reviewing is necessary; and, to save time as well as labor, students sometimes gather in companies of twenty or thereabouts ana pay a man to read the "trot," while they follow in tho Oreek and Latin text.

Prize winning may be made very profitable, though It is seldom regarded ns a means of support The valedictorian last year carried off ovor 8300, and a member of the class of '01 took more than 8150, and is ln a fair way to keep on In the good work. Occasionally a student gets more than his share of good fortune. There was once a man at Williams who took cnre of a professor's placo and got a furnished room and washing free ln payment for hia work, earned his board by waiting on table, receivod college aid to ttie amount of 800, and mado 830 by taking care of a building and 830 mora by singing tn the chapel choir.

Similarity In the Nomenclature ot Israelite* and Indians, A mode of bringing to notice the barbarian stago of the Israelites at the time under consideration Is to translate into English familiar personal names from the Old Testument, such as tho Dog, the Dove, tbo Hyena, the Lion's Wholp, the Strong Ass, tho Adder and tho Running Hind. This brings Into immediate comu-otion the English translation of Indian names, such as Big Bear, Whito Buffalo, Wolf, Bod Cloud, Black Hawk, Fox, Crow and Turtle. Suoh Israelite names were probably of Gentile Origin, that Is, from tbe elan or gens, for the Israelites wore surely Gentiles in tbo truo sense, although later they abjured tho chargo. But individuals among thom may also have adopted Huch names becauso they oould bo represented objectively. Such selection is mado by somo Indian** apart from their totem io designation, Indians possess very few names that cau not be represented In plotograpbs, and the vory largo topic of tattooing Is connected with this dovico antecedent to writing. Tbu compilers of tbo Old Testament probably desired to break dowu a former praotice, as Is shown In Leviticus xix., 28: "Yo Bhall not print any marks upon you." And thoro are other similar indications.âGarrlck Mallory, in Popular Science Monthly. 4IU 'â â â Tho Vail Nam-M or Author*.. Bayard Taylor's flnt namo was James.

AFTER THE ELEPHANTS. A Boyal Hunt ln India Enjoyed by a BUu from New Jersey. The following account of a royal elephant hunt at Aynthia, India, was written home by a Now Jersey man who happened to witness that interesting event: "The stookado in which the elephants are yearly captured," he says, "is a quadrangular piece of ground, inclosed by a wall some six feet thick, having an entrance on one Bide through which the elephants are made to enter tho inclos- ure. Inside tho wall is a fonce of strong teak stakes driven Into the ground olose i-ogetber, allowing only sufficient room between tbem to permit the passage of a man. In the center is a small house erected on poles and strongly supported and surrounded by stakes, wherein men nre generally stationed for tbo purpose of securing the animals, hut on this occasion the elephants were let loose upon an open plain behind the arena and then captured. Tho wild elephants being then in the bamboo jungle in the vicinity of Aynthia, having been decoyed from a great distance In the interior and kept in readiness within a fow hours' journey for tho appointed day, and as we wore Informed of'their noar approach to its we remained and witnessed the wild boasts boing lured by tbo tamo onos. "The Bight to us was n novelty. You mo ovor an immenso plain at some distance a fow tamo elephants with their riders ahead of at least two hundred ivlbl ones, largo and small. You see Llicm nearing you closer and closer, until tboy approach tbo stookado, when Hid tamo elephants form a frontâani fancy fifteen tame beauts hemming ln some two hundred wild ones In a small spaceâwhen thoy wero pressed forward through the entrance ono by ono. Here wc experienced sume excitement. Some 'xo througlt quietly, others refuse, show light, oharge the line ot front, and on -teveral occasions broko through, when olf go the tame elephants and bring them baok, and so by patience and perseverance the whole number is driven in. The gate Ib then olosed and they* remain within tho inclosuro to await tbo pleasure of the King. "Early the noxt morning the King arrived, accompanied by a largo concourse of nobles. At about eleven o'elook 'ob arrived at a sort of grand stand and operations commenced. Tbo beasts that had been penned up all night wero let jiit through another gate opening Into a plain, whero suoh as tbe King admired wero caught. Here again tho scene was exciting. If an animal which is irlmired escapes, chase Is immediately mado uftor It by tho tame elephants, tbe driver of willed throws a lasso to catch the fugitive's feot. Having effected this, the animal upon whicb he rides leium itsolf with all its power the opposite way, and thus brings tho other violently on the ground. It is then strongly bound :md conveyed to the elephant stables. One largo male mado Its escape through Min front ranks and was lost among tho â¢ulna and junglo of the old city. Nat- irally enough accidents aro of common occurrence, mon boing kiliod by tho infuriated animals, wliich are frequently confined for two days In tho inclosuro without food. I am happy to say that no aucidents of a serious nature occurred du this occasion. I have only toohron- :u!o a fow upsets of no importance. Prom the two hundred elephants that wero decoyed the King selected some twenty of the bost. The remainder wero driven Into the interior to await v.ho onBuing year."â-Newark Sunday Call. ââ *â »â¢â *»â HIDDEN JUST IN TIME. An Incident of Mr. Kuii nan's Travel!

A MILLIONAIRE'S START. IIU Fortune Derived from a Hundred Lushes on HU Ban Baok. John James Mago, a quiet, middle- aged man, Is here a tew days watting for the Mexican steamer to sail. He looks prosaic, but hts eareer is as romantic as that of Monte Crista Mago ts now a Guatemalan millionaire, who lives nine months of the year ln Paris. Fifteen years ago he was a poor En* gltah collector of insects ln Guatemala and also aotod as British Vloe-Oonsul at San Jose. One day Comnwndante Gonzales ordered Mago to appear before him. Mago sent word he would oome in a short time. This incensed the Commandanto. who waa ugly with drink, and he sent a file of soldiers after Mago, and, when the bug collector appeared, ordered sovonty-five lashes laid on bis bare back. This was done thoroughly, and when finished Gonzales shouted: "Give him twenty-five more for lack." When Mago recovered, whioh was only after careful nursing, as his baok was badly out up, ho made formal complaint to the British Government The result was that Guatemala was ordered to punish Gon- taloB and to pay Mago 8500 for every lash he received. In default of this English cruisers would shell San Jose and othor coast cities. Guatemala readily punished Gonzales, hut tried hard to evade paying 850,000 to Mago. The British, however, were inexorable, and the poor bug collector waa made a comparatively rich man In one day. As he had moro coin than any ono ln the country thon, President Barrios ontered Into partnership with blm. Mago became one of the largest ooffoi*- planters and also seoured the exclusivo franchise for building dooks In the ports. No ono oan land on or leave one of these dooks without paying 83 toll te Mago, while he alao lovlos a tax on aU freight He also owns valuable mines and tracts of timber. His fortune is estimated at 85,000,000, a;i due to loo lashes on his baok.âSan Francisco Examiner. â â ***â »â âA serious Inconvenience ofton occurs at tbe shingles whioh surround brick chimneys.

If any one has seen a diver in bis sub marine suit bobbing up from the watoi with his glistening, immenso round cop per helmet with his square, clumsy manflsh-Hke canvas suit, usually stained hy use, iron rust and sea water to brownish, yellowish gray, something tbe color ot a devil-fish, he may at first have been somewhat startled by the apparition. The being who thus rises from the sea is not a mischievous creature, hut on the contrary a very useful member of society when his services are required and brought in requisition. A full description of his dress is something like tbts: From the helmet projects a coll of snake-like rubber hose, a sort of antenna, which passes down under hts left arm and up through the water, connecting with an air-pump on a float-stage or in a hoat The pump is manipulated by two men and furnishes compressed air for breathing when under water, wblcb exhausts Into tbe water by a valve in tbe helmet, enabling him to breathe continually fresh atr, while, when he comes to the surface, the windows of his helmet can be opened and he can breathe without the assistance of the air-pump. When he goes down into the water he has two means of communicating with those aboveâthe hose and tbe lifeline. By the latter he also descends and comes up whon neceaaary. By each of these he gives and receives ' signals mutually understood, threo sharp pulls on the life-line Indicating that ho is ready to ascend. In order to overcome the natural buoyancy of bis body and make its specific gravity such that ho can walk about on tho bottom of the sea, he wears shoes with solos heavily ballasted or weighted with lead. Tbe upper part of his body Ib protected, as ls alao his lowor halt, by heavy canvas covering, consisting of jacket, with nine ves, and pantaloons, with ter munitions whioh fit closoly, with elastic bands clinging to bis flesh, the jookoi fitted closely to tho helmet with metallic bands bolted together, with a burber gasket betweon. No water or air oan get to blm, except the lattor hy the hose, unless ho opotu the glass windows ot his helmet, which he Ib not likely to do. unless occasion requires. Additional weight ts placed at hie chest and back; sometimes a breastplate and a shoulderplate of lead, somotimosla belt heavily weighted, which can bu thrown on or off the shoulders, and hang down ln front and behind when ln use. The experiences of a diver are many and Interesting. After he has once reached tho sunken vessel, whether by being lowered straight down from the wrecking craft or by walking along the bottom of tlie oooan to avoid currents, he must search through tho hull of the ship aB though she wore floating upon the surface of tho water. To do this ho carries a small lamn with him, wbicn g>ves out a peculiarly brilliant light whon under the water, and makes the surrounding object glisten with all the colors of the rain- how. Care must he taken that the air-tube does not get tangled ln any way, or cut by friction against the side of the vessel. Unfortunate divers have frequently lost their livos by this means when exploring the intricate passages ot a vessel at great depth below bhe surface of the water. Danger is also experienced from heavy pieces of timber, hoxos, barrels and even dead bodiea, whioh are often floatinp around In tho hold of a sunken vessel. A diver, onco tolling of the troubb that ho had in exploring a wreck, suit that he was constantly annoyed by sev oral heavy cheats whioh kept movin; about with every swell of tho sea. Or. cume so near his diving-bell that bo wu forced to give It a violent push, whicl sent it against tho opposite wall of tb* small cabin. Instantly it reboundci and came within nn inch of tho diver* helmot, which it would have quicklj broken had it struck it. But, by dodging in time, the ches> passed harmlessly over bim, and th* noxt moment it collided with anothc; similar chest, The forco of tbo collision broko ono of the hoops of the hugi box, and the next moment a glittering pile of newly-stamped gold coins rolled out upon the floor of tbo cabin. Tlio chest had been usod as a sort of treasury box by the captain, and all of his valuables wore lookod up ln tt Re sides gold nnd silver pieces of money, rich jewels and precious stones' escii] â . from the brass-bound chest, and pi - Bonted to tho divor's gaze a rare sipu Tlie light from his small lamp, shinii- through the water, made the golov heup seem brighter than ever.âGolde Days.

The Nanaimo Free Press endorses the action of Mr. Keene in administering a severe rebuke to a lot of young snobs who grossly misbehaved in the theatre there a few evenings since. They are said to be "blue bloods," hut appear to be lacking in breeding and gentlemanly behavior. They occupied a private box on the evening in question. The audience applauded Mr. Keene's remarks. The Choral Union concert to-night at the Oddfellows'Hall will probably attract a large and appreciative audience. The programmes have been in circulation for some days, and those who huve had an opportunity of judging the excellence of the selections need no further inducement to be present. All lovers of high class music will attend to-night, for it will be a treat that is not likely to be repeated in the near future. The Vancouver police are driving out all vagrants found within the city limits. It Ib most probable some of these gentry will come to tho Royal City, and tho courteous attention of our police force is directed to this possible undesirable class of immigrants. Seven of tin-Be tramps are said to have left Vancouver for Westininster yesterday, and two of the party nre suspected of haviiiK participated in recent burglaries tit the terminal city. Let the police drive them out forthwith, Writing of the C. P.

To many this Is the most wonderful part of the exposition. Crawford peaches are shown as large as the average apple, aud Bartlett pears that rival the usual squash In point of size. The exhibit is complete in every detail, and numbers in Its collection strawberries, grapes, currants, plums and berries, each sufficient in itself to excite the curiosity and interest of the most unconcerned obser ver. ' High Clans Immigrants. On the delayed train which arrived at an early hour this morning was Mi. George Gibson, of Chilliwack, who has been spending a couple of months at his old home near Lucknow, Out. Mr. Gibson has beeu acting as a volunteer immigration agent during his absence, and so well did he talk up the glories and advantages of the Province that no less than ten prosperous Lucknow farmers accompanied him west and came with him to Westminster lust night, They all Intend to purchase land and settle in the vicinity of Chilliwack, aud will, no doubt, prove a welcome addition to that rising settlement. The farmers in the country near Lucknow are all badly struck with the British Columbia fever, and many of them nre preparing to sell out and move to thiB Province immediately. The immigration from Ontario to British Columbia, Mr. Gibson . says, will be very large during the coming season. During hiB absence Mr. Gibson forsook the batcnelor ranks, and entered the army of benedicts; and the fair daughter of Bruce county, who is now Mrs. Gibson, accompanied her husband to his home in the far weBt. The Columbian wishes Mr, and Mrs. Gibson every joy. (J-Yorfl Our Own Correspondent.)

The city council last night did some excellent work, and one motion in particular, regarding the laying of sidewalks, will have the hearty support of tho whole* city. It wns decided to lay a throe foot plank walk on the north side of Melbourne streot from John to Doug- lns street, and u similar walk ou the east side nf Douglas street from Melbourne street to the cemetery. Melbourne street is to bu completed from Queen's avenue to the foot of GoHsett street, ami St. Andrews stroot is to bo made passable from the North Ann road to Pellmm street. The Mary street sidewalk is to be laid as far as Pelham street, and the Ellis streot sidewalk generally improved. Besides these all sidewalks are to bo made where tho lumber has already been laid, except iu such cases whoro tho streets arc not graded. Itottl Km I ii In Transfer. A large real estate transfer was concluded yesterday, by which 144 acres of the White estate becomes the property of u well known property owner. The land in question Hob on the North Arm, and adjoins the city limits. It has a frontage on the river of nearly half a mile and extends back about tite same distance. The price paid was $100 por acre, or $14,400 for the vhoIo. It is understood a portion of this land will bc subdivided into lots and placed on the market at on early date. It is worthy of note that this property just 26 years ago this month was purchased from the Government at one dollar per acre. The transfer is the largest that hns been concluded during tbe past few weeks, but several moro, even larger, arc now on the tapis. Real estate is taking un upward turn, and numerous sales are taking place daily. New Hlim.it Niiiiu-k. A resolution was introduced, but uot carried, at the city council last night, which will sot many sticklers for retaining old street names in a considerable state of excitement. The resolution was as follows: . That Front Street, Columbia Street, Agnes Street and Royal Avenue retain their present names. That Queen's Avenue bo changed to Second Avenue, and parallel streets northward be called avenues and numbered consecutively, beginning with Pelham Street, which shall bo Third Avenue. That lho namo Carnarvon be applied to the whole street from Elliott Streot to Hanlan Street; that Columbia Street extend from Dock Square to the Brunette Bridge on the North Rond. Thut Park Lane be named First Street, and all parallel streets northward be named Second, Third Street, etc.; except small streets, which ahull have distinctive names. This motion will test public opinion, and it is now in order to protest or acquiesce as the case may be The Weat tttiast Wreck. â¢ The general opinion at Port Towns- end is that the vessel reported wrecked on Vargas Island, noar Olayoquet Sound, was the Chilian bark Pastoral)na, wliich sailed from Port Townsend about December 10th, loaded with a cargo of lumber from Blukcly destined to Chili. A fow days after the Pastorauza went to Bea, the captain of the tug Pilot, of Victoria, reported passim*: through acres and acres of floating lumher nil' Capo Flattery. The rumored loss of the Douglas Dearborn, bound lo Philadel- Shia, oil' the, mouth of the Columbia liver, gave rise to the opinion that the lumber was front the lattor vessel. The Dearborn has been spoken twice since then, and it is generally believed now that the wrecked vessel at Clayoquot Sound iB tho Pastorauza. Noar that Bound is where the good Bhip St. Stephen went dowu with all hands three years ago. It is understood that the cargo of tho Pastorauza. was partly insured. The vessel wus an old wooden craft and had little or no i nsurance. TheS.A. Criticised. Editor Columbian '.âSir:âWould you please be kind enough to publish a few remarks concerning the way I acted before I became a prisoner iu this town, Well, in the first placo I do not want to raise myself above the opinions of the public, out I think I was treated more tike a renegade tban a man. Although I took too much of the accursed drink, I should have been treated as a man in stead of a dog. I have been a fellow that cared littlo about going to church, but wheu tho Army came around I weut there to huve some fun, the same as half the people that go there, and I want to state iu a concrete form the way it is put to a man in the Army. In tho first place, they ask you if you believe you are a sinner and if Christ died for sinners; therefore he died for you, so you must bo saved. Could any trap for a benighted soul bc more ingeniously planned? It Is not superstition that ib appealed to this timo; it is reason. The ngituted soul is invited to creep into the convolutions of a syllogism and entrench itself behind u doctrine' more. venerable even than the church. But words are mere chitine. Doctrines may have no more vital contact with n soul than priest or sacrament, no further influence on chnracter lliun limo and stone, and yot the Army nick a blackguard from the streets, pass liim through this plausible formula, and turn him out a convert in about ton minutes. The zeal of lho Army is not to boquos- tiouod, their instincts nre all right, aud their work is often not in vain. It is possible up to a certaiu point to defend this salvation bv formula. Aro theso not the very words of Scripture? Did not Christ Himself say, it is finished? And is it not written, "By grace you ure Bftved, through faith?" "Not of'works, lest any man Bhould boast." And, "He that believeth ou the Son hath everlast luff life." To which, however, one might also answer in the words of the Scripture: "The devils also believe," and "except a man be born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God." But without trying to make text re* fate text, let mo ask what the supposed convert possoBHes at the end of the process? That Christ saves sinners, oven blackguards from the streets, is a great fact, and that the simple words of the Army sometimes lakes it home to a sin* tier so ba does become a good citizen but that don't muko him u good man, Well, to finish, am not I as good t citizen and as quiet as the Army? I do not make a noise when I ntn sober; hut they do, if you can call it soberness to march the streets when thoy go out to call poor drunkards iu, and then not let tbem in. T. W. Honev, Ex-S. A. S.

"Fifteen tenders were opened and examined in detail, two of which included the whole work and the others tho supplying of the material or a por* tion of the work or both. The figures given showed that the original estimate of tho total cost of tho wator M'orks was a fair une ut the time it was made, but sinco that time the cost of the material has increased considerably and at- the present time freights are also high, so that the cost of the work now would amount to a much larger sum than the first estimate, and the amount at your disposal for the work would be inadequate. In view of these facts aud also tliat ward No. 1 and the greater'part of wnrd No. 0 has not been included in the distribution system on which -tenders were invited, wo would not recommend that any of thoso tenders bo accepted, but that other tenders be called for after a short lime when tho price of material may he lower us well us freight, and somo changes may ho made in tlie specifications so as to include the whole city in the distribution system as well as in some other particulars, which wo consider will be iu the interests of the city and tend to make the works more com* plete and efficient."
