The Speech from the Throne Indicates Many Reforms in the Gov eminent of Ireland. A Horrible Story from Siberia. Females Stripped and Whipped Publicly by Prison Officials. The Queen's Speech. London, Feb. 11.âTho Imperial Parliament opened to-day, and the Queen's speech wuh roud from tlie throne by the Lord High Chancellor. Tlie speech opens witli a reference to the relations betweon Her Majesty's government and the other powers, which are declared to be of the most friendly .nature. Referring to the recent trouble with Portugal, Her Majesty says: "An armed force uu<k*g.Poi'timuese officers, entered a territory wlJeW^British settlements had been formed and where there are tribes who have been taken under my protection, A collision with tbe natives resulted, which was attended with bloodshed, and acts were committed inconsistent with respect to the British Hag. Portugal bas now at my request promised to withdraw ber military from the territory in question." Her Majesty expresses the earnest hope that the auti-Blavery congress at Brussels willud- vanee the great cause for which it was assembled. The Samoa Treaty together with the Portugal Treaty, will be submitted to Parliament for its .consideration, as also wilt be the Extradition Treaty with the United States. Her Majesty then sayB: "I wait with lively interest tho result of the Australian Federation Conference. By well considered measures, bringing these colonies into close union will increase tlieir welfare and strength, aud wilt receive my favorable consideration." The continued improvement in the condition of affairs in Ireland and further diminution of agrarian crime, has made it possible to very largely restrict the area where it is necessary to deal with certain .offences liy* summary process. Proposals for increasing, under due ilnancial precaution, the number of occupying owners of laud iu Ireland,'and for extondfng to Ireland the principle of local self-government, which haB already been adopted in England and Scotland, as far as they arc applicable to Ireland, also for the improvement of the material well-doing of the population of poorer districts, will be submitted for your consideration, Bills to facilitate and reduce the cost of transfer of laud in England, and relative to the collection of tithes and other internal matters, will be submitted; also a bill diminishing the difficulty and cost attending the passage of private legislation for Scotland. A commission will be appointed to report ou the best means, for improving the condition of the people in some of the western highland districts and islands of Scot and. . A bill providing for ascertaining the liability of employers for accidents to their employees; also bills lo amend the laws in respect of health of the metropolis dwellings of the working classes, and for the better regulation - of the savings banks, will be. submitted. You will be asked to make better provision for camps and barracks for the troops. The estimates to be submitted nave beon drawn with due regard to economy and the necessities of the public service. The commercial convention with Egypt hud been successfully concluded, and provisional arrangements for the adjustment of the pending fiscal questions with Bulgaria nud been made. llecalled. St Pktkrhiiukq, Fob. 11.âThe Russian bishop of San Francisco will be recalled. He will be succeeded hy the Archimandrite of St. Petersburg. An Awful Story. Pakib, Feb. 11.âThe Russian refugees in this city have received a cypher letter, dated Kara, Eastern Siberia, Dec. 28th, stating that Madame Schida, a lady of noble birth, and lately a school teacher in Moscow, who is serving a penal sentence for boing found iu possession of revolutionary documents, suicided. Madame Schida, who waB a very beautiful woman, resented the insult's offered her by the director of the prison, and in consequence of ho doing she was stripped and flogged in the presence of all tbe men in the prison. Fearing a renewal of her humiliation aud suffering, she suicided by taking poison. The letter Bays several other female prisoners apprehending similar treatment, killed themselves on hearing of these occurrences. Tlio male convicts confined at Kara revolted en masse and the troops were called out to subdue them. A fearful massacre and wholesale torturing followed. A Successor. London, Feb. 10.âRoland Vaughan Williams has been appointed Justice of tho Queen's Bench division of the High Court of Justice, to succeed Henry Mainstay, decensed. A H oil cut Ofl'er.

A meeting was held iu the town ball, Maple Ridge, on the 8th inst. for the purpose of forming a branch of the "Mainland Political Association," and electing delegates to the contral executive, which meets at Now Westminster on-Saturday the 15th Febry., 1800.

The second lecture of the season, in connection with St, Andrew's (Presbyterian) church, Port Haney, was delivered In that edifice by the Kev. Mr. McLeod, of Victoria, the subject being "That Young Woman," on tlio ovoning of the 5th inst., when, notwithstanding tho wretched state of the roads, the building was well filled. The reverend gentleman drew forth round after round of applause by the masterly way iu which be depicted tbe vagaries of the gentle Bexâ When Eve brought woe to till mankind Olil Adam called her wo-iunn, Uut when she woo'd wilh love ho kind lid thou pronounced ber w.oo-niiui.

A public meeting was held in the town hall on the 8tU for the purpose of organizing a branch of the Mainland Association, when it was unanimously resolved to orgartizo a branch association, and tbe following officer were elected for the year: W.J. Harris, Esq., of Port Hammond, president; Joseph Stephens, Port Haney, let vice-president: D. C. Webber, Port Hammond, 2nd vice-president; J. White, Maple Ridge, secretary-treasurer. Tbe president and vice- presidents to be delegates to tbe Central Association. The subject of a trunk road to connect with the Coquitlam and Pitt River road was discussed at great length, and some vory stirring speeches were delivered in favor of it, which created an enthusiasm that will certainly make itself felt at the next provincial election, if some action is not taken by thepreaentGoverument. Why it is, Mr. Editor, that such a splendid road aB the Pitt River road from Westminster should be almost useless for the want of a bridgo over the Pitt, is something that'all who visit this municipality are at a loss to understand. The council's action in Bending the reeve aud Councillor Stephens us delegates to the Government to urge upon them the necessity of constructing a bridge over the Pitt River and a trunk road through the municipality, was enthusiastically endorsed. Rustic. North Arm Newfi. On the evening of Wednesday, Feb. 5th, a very pleasant time was spent at the home of Mr. C. J. Robinson, the occasion being tbe departure of Mr. W. T. Kinney, our popular and efficient teacher from our neighborhood, The friends gathered in to the number of over 40, nnd nfter spending n couple of hours in social conversation and some interesting games in which the youngor members of tbe party wero chiefly interested, refreshments were served, consisting of a plentiful supply of Mrs. Robinson's delicious coffee with the usual accompaniments, sandwiches, cakes, tarts, etc. When these had been thoroughly enjoyed Rev. S. J. Thompson took tbe tioor, and calling Mr. Kinney to the front, delivered a short impromptu address iu his usual happy style. He spoke on the object of tbe meeting, viz., to bid good bye to Mr. Kinney, and referred in very flattering terms to his usefulness since he has been with us, and of the universal regret experienced at hia departure as was shown by the large numbers present. He then called upon Mr. Robinson to finish his speech. Mr. Robinson came forward and with a few appropriate and humorous remarks presented Mr. Kinney with a handsome gold headed cane. Mr. Kinney was evidently surprised, and as ho rose to respond, struggled for a few moments with rising emotions, but soon recovered his usual fluency nnd launched out in a really good speech, reviowing the past year and a half and tbe various interests in the neighborhood with wliich he hna been connected. He 1 bunked tbo friends for the kindness, courtesy and hospitality invariably shown him and especially for this last murk of their esteem. Rev. Mr. Thompson continued to act as chairman and called upon tho following persona to respond in behalf ol the different interests with whicli their names are connected: Mr. Tuttle; for the Methodist church including S. Scliool; Capt. Stewart; for school trustees; R. Gage; for Good Templars; Reeve Sexsmith; for the council; O. D. Sweet; for the Press; and Mrs. Sexsmith; for the W. C T. It. After singing "The Sweet Bye und Bye," Mr. Thompson engaged in prayer and thus brought to a close a most happy social gathering, From the very complimentary remarks of the various speakers, Mr. Kinney was shown to be a real live member of the community, giving his attention und influence to everything that would promote the well-being of the plnco and people, both material and spiritual. As teacher of the public school he was eminently successful, and his departure from B. C. is not only a loss to tbe Nortb Arm settlement, but leaves a vacancy iu the ranks of the profession not easily tilled. The S. trustees havo been so fortunate as to secure tbe services of Mr. Jamison au accomplished teacher from Bowmanville, Out. Wc bespeak for him thu co-operation and sympathy of the parents aud anticipate very satisfactory results in the school.âCommunicated, mitteo composed of Messrs, Patton- (Essex), Kirpatrick, Miles (Botbwcl OTTAWA NEWS, Tho French Lsiis-imgo ln tho Norlhwout.

XX.âA caucus meeting of the Conservative members was held this morning, and it wns resolved to support Mr. Daviu's amendment to Mr. McCarthy's hill, abolishing the dual language in tlie Northwest Territory. The Liberals also had a caucus meeting aud came to the same decision. In yesterday's vote re the Orange Incorporation bill, Messrs. Barnard, Earle, Gordon, Mara, und Prior voted for its adoption.

The House met at 3 p.m. After the routine business, Sir Richard Cartwright culled the attention of tbe House to the recent letters of Mr. Rykert, which linve nppeared iu the daily press, A discussion on the duty on corn distillers vs. farmers, then anise, Sir.Richard Cartwright introducing the subject, Mr. O'Brien followed.

The establishments were filled witli highly inflammable material and nothing can save them ns the bent iB so intense that the firemen can't approach the place to work.

OIIAMIIKHUIX'S SUPI'OllT. Mr. Chamberlain has scut a friendly message to Sir .lames, aud assured bim of co-operation aud support. Gladstone can hope for a division in tbe Liberal- Unionist ranks, and it will therefore, like many of their expectations, come to naught. KKQUlllES A lili.Ull). If Col. Sanderson intends to go lecturing in the United States he will require an Orange body-guard. Should the members of the Clan-na-Gael ever get an opportunity ofcrackinghim, it would go hard with him, and many of his friends liavo wisely advised him to relinquish his projected enterprise. THE DUC D'oflLEANS. Tbe escapade of tho Due D'Orleans is the most striking if uot the most important iu foreign politics of the week. It would seem as if the heir pretender, who represents now both the.elder aud younger Bourbons, had taken a leaf from the book of Louis Napoleon aud essayed a mild imitation of Strasburg and the Boulangor enterprise. The school boy trick, played during the absence of tbe Comte-de-Paris on a voyage to the West Indies, does not deserve anything much sevfirer than school boys punishment. The prince made himself subject to imprisonment of from 2 to 5 years, aud subsequent deportion across the frontier, but ho will probably bo taken across tbo frontier after merely a provisional detention in the conceirgerie. THE WINTElt PALACE. The state ball at tho Winter Palace, iu St. Petersburg, was a magnificent fete, but the spectacle was not so brilliant as usual. Owing to the court beiug in mourning, only white and black dresses could bo worn and no jewels, except diamonds and pearls, were allowed, Thero wero 4,000 invitations sent out and 3,000 persoiiB worn presont. Tho Emperor woro the uniform of the Cossacks of the Guard, with tho orders of St. Andrew and St. George.Hnd tho Empress was arrayed in while satin and blazed with diamonds, having asii|icrb coronet of very large stones on her hoad. The Duchess of Edinburgh ulso wus in white satin, und she wore diamonds nud pearls, us also did the Grand Duchess Serge, who wub led in by ber uncle, lho Duko of Edinburgh, who wore liis naval uniform with the orders of the Garter aud St. Andrew. Tbo dancing took plnee in tbe saloon of the Czar Nicholas, which was sumptuously decorated iu white and gold, with his portrait, which was enclosed in a frame of hyacinths, at the top. Tbo effect of the electric light in tbe hall and on tho winter garden was magnificent, and what witli palms aud a profuse display of flowers, of which several van loads had been brought from Nice, peoplo might easily imagine themselves on the Mediterranean instead of on the Neva. Now WoHttulnntor f.m-roNHi* Club. Itis the intention of the Lacrosse Club of this city to at onco prepare for tbe season's sport, and the work of rc- organizaing will be commenced shortly.

The meeting will be a general one, and every citizen who intends to give the club a buarly supjiort this season is requested to attend nud enroll himself at (he beginning. The question of forming a Provincial Association will be disposed of, and three delegates appointed to meet those of Vancouver and Victoria. The Counoil I'rotoNtN. The finance committeo of the City Couucil, which was ordered to report on thu state of public feeling in connection with the proposed draining of Burnaby Luke, reported last night to the effect tbnt the general public was strongly opposed to auy scheme liaving for its object tbo draining or lowering of tho level of fhe lake, Aid. Smither then introduced a motion, which was carried uiiauiuiously, in whicb tbo City Council enters a strong protest against the schomo. Tho resolution is to be forwardud to the Provincial Government, and it is expected it will have the effect of once and for all timo dissuading land- -grabboifj from further designs in this direction. *ââ¢â* Surrey MattersâA Now Bridge Wanted. Councillor Jno. Armstrong, of Surrey, was in the city to-day. He reports the snow having entirely disappeared from the Mud Bay district and everything looking spring-like. The roads ure just in tolerable condition, in spite ol which the three stages per week running between Westminster nnd Bellingham Bay, and which manage to make connections most of the time, are crowded with passengers as a rule both wayB. The attention of the Government is particularly called to the urgent necessity Ior a new bridge over a gulch about two miles from Brownsville, on the Scott road, the old bridge having been demolished by falling trees some mouths since, rendering it necessary to make a detour by means of a skid-track at that point. *â*_.-« I.

On arriving there Mr. Drysdale found he could get no further. All the berths on the steamers are taken up to the 17th instant, and on account of the river floods the Southern Pacifio trains are unable to get into the city. Business generally is paralyzed ..with the waters. The basements and lower floors of the wholesale portion of tho city aro submerged aud on the streets along tho river front the wator is fully five feet deep.

Provided they obtain an immense tract of land they are willing to construct and operate railways and harbors, build wharves and provide shipping facilities. They have five hundred thousand acres of land in Capo Colony opened un iu this way. Their chief enu is to develop the mining resources of British Columbia. Mr. Howell, who haB been in the Pacific province a couple of times, has great confidence in it, and predicts that the English syndicates now investing in the United States will turn their money into Canada. His company hns large investments in Montana mines. Mr. Howell left to-night for the coast. Two Stories. Early yesterday morning the sealing schooner Penelope, Capt. A. C. Folger, returned to port, thero having been trouble aboard while the schooner was about fifty miles of! Cape Flattery. According to the captain's story, the trouble arose between the mate and oue of the Japanese crew, who refused to obey orders. A quarrel followed, and the sailor attacked the mate with a wicked-looking knife, whereupon the mate struck him a heavy blow with a convenient belaying pin. The man fell to the deck with the blood rushing from au awful gash in his head, nnd his companions then refused to work until a return was made te Victoria, where the wounded man could bc properly cured for. Seeing thnt there was nothing else to be done, Cnpt. Folger sailed for home, nud thu sailor was yesterdny taken to the Railroad Hotel, where he is beiug cared for. H1b Injuries are serious, but will not provo fata). Capt. Folger yosterday made affidavit at the Custom House to the facts of the affair ub narrated above, and will return to the hunting ground in a fow days. The disabled sailor was seen by a Colonist reporter last evening, nnd through ou interpreter, told Ids side of the Btory, Hu said that he did not understand English, and wheu the niiito ordered him to lull', he asked him what ho said. With au oath the mnto replied for him not to "talk back" to him aud struck him with the belaying pin. Tbe injured man says that ho could prove his talo if the captain would allow some of thu crew to comu ashore, and emphatically denies attempting to draw a knife or striko the mate.âmn- day's Colonist. THE CANADIAN WINS. MoCormleh Defoatii Pauliten, the Nor- weglnn. for the Skating Champion- Httlp or tho World. At Eau Claire, Wis., on Fob. 2nd, live thousand people on Half Moon lake saw McCormick, of St. John, New Brunswick, take the title of champion skater of the world from Axel Paulsen who had held it eight yenrs. It was the third aud final ten-mile race. The weather was mild nud tho ico sloppy, but the rink was in fair shape. It was three aud two-tenths Inps to the mile. Henry Hatch, of Minneapolis, was referee, aud E. O. Remey, of Minneapolis, and Aldor- maii Thompson, of that city, judges. A false start was made owing to Paulsen's failure to get his coat oil'. Paul- sun did uot start but McCormick did and flew past the judge's Btand, Hu came back, however, when his manager, McEvoy, waived the start, and alter a good deal of loud talk between McEvoy nnd Jungen, Paulsen's mnnager, a fair start was made at 3:55. McCormick gained hall a lap in the first four and then dogged Paulsen for 25 laps. McCormick completed his first five miles in 27 â â¢â â¢ minutos. Thero was nothing vurv startling till Paulsen completed hia 24th lap when McCormick lot himself out. Paulsen seemed to be either weary or making little effort, and when Paulsen completed his 80th lap McCormick had gained a ouartor of a lap more. Paulsen spurted a Uttle the last two laps, but McCormick increased his lead and slid in nearly one lap or about one- third of u milo abend; time, 47% minutes. Prominent Norwegians here hnd bet heavily on Paulson. Two or three thousand dollars changed hands. Paulsen took one-third of tlio gate receipts, THB DAILY COLUMBIAN, NEW WESTMINSTER, B.

THE MAINLAND ASSOCIATION. By a notice in another column it will be Been that the first meeting of the Cent rul'Executive of the Mainland Association will be held at the City Hall in this city, on Saturday next, the 15th inst. A gratifying degree of interest has been taken in this matter through out the entire district at least, and it is reasonably certain that every municipality and settlement in Westminster District will be represented by delegates at the meeting of the Central Executive of the Mainland Association to bc held in this city on Saturday next. Much good is Bure to result from so representative a gathering, especially in view of the important question of redistribution to be shortly discussed, and settled, temporarily at least, in the Local Legislature. The consensus of opinion, as well as the valuable information, that will be evolved at the meeting and brought to bear in due order upon the deliberations of the House on this problem cannot fail to have considerable weight in shaping legislation on the question and strengthening the hands of our representatives in performing their duty in the niatter. Some splenetic Victoria critics of the preBSâthemselves the very soul of sectionalismâ have raised this foolish and time- worn cry against the movement in this city and Vancouver and the district at large which has resulted in the formation of the Mainland Association. The great importance of the redistribution question, and the inadequate information possessed on the subject for an intelligent solution of tbe question that Bhall give fair and equal justice to all sections of the Province, furnish ample reason for the Mainland Association's being, and guarantee that it will have its hands full of useful and patriotic work without stirring up our Island friends' pet bogie' -'Sectionalism. It woidd bc a good plan for our Vuncouver Island friends themselves to form an association that shall gather and compile useful and accurate information and otherwise assist the Legislature to arrive at an intelligent aud equitable readjustment of representation for the Province. A REACTION IN THE ORIENT. Kkcksti.y newspaper readers woro told of the vust railway enterprises contemplated in the heart of the Celestial Empire, that threatened to rapidly modernize that stronghold of ancient superstition and mossbackism; but, anon, wurd came that the coy and fickle heathen had thought better of tho alarming proposal to wake them from their thousand years' slumber that they had in a moment of weakness squinted upon with favor, and with oue voice had vetoed the nineteenth-century civilizer that was about to invade the sanctity of their cobwebby domain.' For more than it quarter of a century the indications and the actual progress that Japan hns made towards modern European und American civilization hnve been something wonderful, but, according to late accounts, Japan, too, hus taken a balking fit, as if repenting of having thrown aside its long and carefully guarded ex- cluslveuess. In view of the marvellous progress which Japan has made since the revolution of 1808, and of the eagerness which its people have for some time past displayed to establish trade relations with foreign countries, notes an exchange, it is surprising to learn that a strong anti-foreign feeling has recently begun to manifest itself. A Yokohama letter says that this is in part due to tho fact that many of tlie foreigners in tlie country have earned the hostility of the natives by dishonesty and by over-reaching in business. An anti- foreign crusade has been organized, and its leader is gathering about him nil the factions not in sympathy with the past course of the Government. Unfortunately, moreover, Counts Ito aud Inouye, the two men who have had the greatest share iu the advancement of tho country, have resigned their positions, and political affairs aro in a chaotic state. The date fixed for the opening of the new Japanese Parliament is now not far off, but the state of affairs Is such that no worse time could be found for the inauguration of this institution. "Until there is some change for the better in the political status," says tho letter referred to, "the whole project of a parliament had better be given up." It will be sad, indeed, if reaction gains ascendancy in Japan after such marvellous progress as the country has made during the past two decades, HONESTLY PUT. In its absurd claimB in the Behring Sea matter the United States Government haB by no means had the sympathy or acquiescence of ita best citizens. Intelligent and honest American writers almost without number have put themselves on record as demonstrating the utter uutenablenesBof the foolish ground taken by their Government in pretending to treat Behring Sea as a "closed sea." In au article contributed to the February number of the Atlantic. Monthly Mr. Charles B. Elliott effectually disposes of all such sophisms and assumptions, and puts the subject iu ita truo light. He points out, what has been pretty clear from the first to every one wbo studied the subject with intelligence and candor, that the United States has no rights in Behring Sea but what it obtained from Russia, and that it cannot, without flagrant inconsistency, put forth claims which it has alwayi resisted wheu they were put forth by Russia when it stood in the same relation to this matter that - the States does now. The United States never admitted that Behring Sea waa an "interior sea," when this preposterous claim was in 1821 set up by the Russian minister, Mr. Politico, iu a letter addressed to John Quincy Adams, at the tune Minister of State forthe United States, but though it was asserted in this single instance, and bo far as appears only in thiB instance it was never acquiesced in by either the United States or Great Britain, and was never insisted upon by Russia. Even at that early day, when the maxim that "Might is right" regulated the conduct of nations to an extent that would not be thought of at tho present dny, tiie great Russian publicist Von Martens did not hesitate to cite this position taken by Mr. Politico in behalf of his country as an instance of "greatly exaggerated claim." And Russia, perceiving that she had taken a position which could not be maintained, virtually abandoned it in the treaty concluded with the United States in 1824. All that the United States, then, has acquired in Behring sea, beyond the three-mile limit, over which it has unquestionable jurisdiction, is nothing but what Martens cites as a "greatly exaggerated claim"âa claim which Mr. Madison, president of the Tnited States, describes in even more energetic language, characterizing it as absurd. And, as Mr. Elliott points out, Russia's "illegal claim " added to our |the United States] legal " rights do not strengthen the latter And speaking in behalf of the United States he expresses the conclusion to which the review of the whole subject in all its bearings leads iu these worda: " Clearly we have no extraordinary juris* " (fictional rights in Behring sea inherit* " ed from Russia which Great Britain is " estopped by acquiescence from deny "ing." And he adds: "The United " States ennnot afford to advocate or " support the violation of a well-estab- " Halted rule of international law for "the Bake of a temporary, selfish ad* " vantage." He does indeed seem to think that the interest of the United States in the seal fishery is so great that it would be justified in claiming and exercising extraordinary jurisdictional rights iu Behring sen if the seal fisheries could not be otherwise protected; but he adds: "ThiB is by no " means demonstrated. Great Britain " and Russia, practically the only " nations interested, have expressed a " willingness to join with the United " States iu any reasonable plan having " this object in view." NOTES AND COMMENTS. A recent writer predicts that within a period not very remote there will be but three dominating powers in the civilized world, one of which will be an Anglo- American Alliance, another Russian and the thirdâJohn Chinaman I Inn recent Russian military couucil, high authorities were quoted for an estimate that China's army numbers 1,200,000 Dr. Peters, the German explorer, hns been heard from once more, or rather it Ib again reported that he bus been seen in the interior of Eust Africa, alive und well. It was iu July last that he started inland, and in November the news was brought to Zanzibar that he and his whole party hud beon mnssnered by natives. Since then conflict ing rumors concerning him have reached the coast from time to time, and there is us grent uncertainty aa to liis fate as there was laat year with regard to that of Stanley The Colonies and India recalls u curious incident which happened in New South Wales some yeai-B ago, when Sir Henry Parkes, then, as .now, Premier of the Colony, appointed the late Sir James Martin to the Chief Judgeship. The latter gentleman was a solicitor, and it was necessary to Iub advancement that he should be a barrister aa well. Sir Henry, therefore, had n speciul bill dealing with the case passed by the Legislature, and one day Sir James was "called to the bar" iu tbe morning, and took his Beat on the bench as Chief Justice in the aftornoon. Such a rapid rise in the profession was probably never heard of before nor since. Party politics will probably decido the location of the world's fair for 1892 at Chicago. New York will be voted out because it is Democrat and it Republican Congress ia not going to place the. immense patronage of the fair in the hands of a Democratic Governor on the eve of a Presidential election. But Illinois is Republican and, by giving the fair to Chicago, this patronage will be retained In Republican hands and used for the benefit of the party, as it would be used to help the Democrats were the fair to be held at New York. Thus is everything in the United States mado subservient to politics, and it Ib doubtful whether the vulgar tyranny of tho machine bosses bo not worse by many degrees thun the misrule against which 4th of July orators are accustomed to declaim.âEx. Of the EmpresB Frederick's altered appearance sinco tlie days wheu as Crown Princess her face boro "the bright expression of beaming happiness," a correspondent says : "The Empress Frederick looks well and atill young; but she haB become thin,and every lineament of her resigned and patient face bears the impress of the sore trials she has gone through. Yet these have uot in the least lessened lier sympathy for men nnd thingsârather heightened and deepened it. Kindness and benevolence shine from her features, and she never for a moment looks dull or uninterested. It has often beeu observed that gracious Queen Margaret of Italy knows how to smile. The Empress Frederick smiles without knowing it. When ahe is pleased, interested, or when she meets the glance of a friendly eye, her eyes smile, Every one haa heard of Her Majesty's high cultivation of mind. Every one who sees her must be at onco Impressed with a firm conviction that she has a grent heart, and her extreme simplicity and naturalness of maimer places every ouo at his ease." Canon Dlddon recently made some strong observations from the pulpit of St. Paul's on the marriage market of modern Babylon. He had, uo doubt, ample room for a picturesque satire in the familiar phenomenon of London society : "Eager mothers, like generals Betting out on a campaign, prepared to undergo nny amount of fatigue, if only they could marry their daughtersânot necessarily to a high-souled man, but in any case to a fortune. They could see, too, ugro"pof young men, after per haps a career of dissipation, thinking that the time had arrived for settling respectably in life, and looking outânot for a girl whose graces and character would make her husband and children happy, but for somebody with a sufficient dowry to enable them to keep up a large establishment. They could not wonder, when the most sacred of human relations was thus placed on the brutal level of an affair of cash, that bucIi transactions were quickly followed by months or years of miseryâmisery which, after seething in private, was at lust paraded before tiie eyeB of a wondering world amid the unspeakable shame and degradation of the divorce court." "The brutal level of an affair of cash" Is the level at whicb French marriages ure ur- ranged without shame and without pretence." ' _ _ Although most hospitable and kind towards their guests Btaying at Sand* ringham, the Prince and Princess of Wales are nt least us capricious as other mortals, and it is often difficult even for the best bred people to estimate to a nicety the exact point nt which intimacy may become distasteful. Conduct which in the ovening may be deemed very charming nnd amusing, may be re seutcd as presumptuous next morning, and between the fear of being too familiar, nnd tho dread of being regarded ns dull, a visitor at Sandringham- nnd especially a new one who is on trial, ns it wereâis between tbe devil und the deep sen. It must be added, however, that though insolence would be sharply checked ut once,, and the offender dismissed as abruptly as Beau Brummel was by George IV, the ordinary person who becomes distasteful through want of adaptability, dulness, or his host's caprice, is never allowed to see that he has become n bore by any change in tho demeanor of his host or hostess toward hiin. His stay is brought to a speedy conclusion, nnd he is never asked down to Sandringhnm again; but until he has gone, he is treated with the most perfect courtesy and many of the worst offenders in this respect have come away thinking that they had made a most satisfactory impression, and ure lost in wonder at not being invited again.â London World.

THE MAIDEN AND THE FISH. "There aro lish in tho sea quite as goad," said the maid, As a:iv that over wero caught, And plentiful, Uw; and so greedy ot bait. Thut tliuy rook not with what lt ls fraught." So saying sho dnudled her rod as sho sat ' In tho shade by tho side of tho brook, And smilingly mused, us ahe drew forth ber lino And craftily baited hor hook, And gazed at the llshes that thronged at hrr feet, In tlm water thoro sporting in glee, As If pleated to be drawn by a hum! fair us bora Prom their home in tho fur-away sea. Thus time elided on, uud the maid and tbu fish Pasnurt tliolr days in a pleasant, routine, For tliu maid wus amused by tho llshes so fond, And t'te ll li deemed the maiden their queen. Yet dallied tho maiden with seeming delight, And luugllfldâas slio dangled thu bait Just a Utile too high for tho fishes to reaob- At their many vain efforts to bite. But after awhile with this trifling maid Tho Hah grew Impatient and suld: "There may bo other lish, butâthere's otber good ball," And away they nil hurriedly sped. Now pondered tho maiden awhllo with regret O'er the change whieh she saw lu bor fate, Then called to tbo vanishing fishes: "Como baok," Bnt tho fish only answered: "Too Into." Then "Alas I" sighed tho maid, "tbero art fish In tho sea; But In sorrow this lesson I'm taughtâ That however so good thoy may be, there are times Whon a fiah will refuse to bo caught." âWashington Post. JARED PERKINS' RELIC. Joelah Allen'a Wife Gives Her Some Sound Advloe. One of the relations on my own side came here a vlsi tin' weok before last. She that was ArvlUy Smith, or as aho calls herself now, "tho relio of Jarod Perkins." She staid twelve days and thirteen nights. She had her young child with herâ Luoilla Augusta Perkins. And if Arvilly said "Lucilla Augusta* don't," if sho said that once durin' them twelvo days and thirteen nights, she said it flvo hundred times. And I haint a sottln* it too high. Why, good landl I have sometimes thought I had seon a mouse-hole watched olose by a oat. But no plaeo of any description was ever watched as that mother watched that ohild. If Luoilla bit a apple on one Bide, It was: "Luoilla, don't! Don't bite it in so far, you'll break off your tooth." If Bhe drinked a glass of water, it was: '*Lucilla, don't swaller such big mou'- f uis of wator, you'll fill your little throat too full." Or, "Luoilla, swaller faster, or the wator will run all ovor your little chin." If she sat down hy tho flro, it was: "Luoilla Augusta, don't sit so near tho fire, or you'll burn your littlo facer And if sho Bat away from it, it was: "Luoilla, don't set away from tho fire so far, you'll ohili your little volns." And so it went on. If sho talked with me and Josiah, it was: "Don't talk bo much, Luoilla, you'll wear out Cousin Josiati and cousin Hainan tha " Or, if sho didn't talk, it was: "Don't keep so still, Lucilla Augusta, or Cousin Samantha and Cousin Josiah will think you have lost your little tongue." And bo Arvilly kep' onâa deep, anxious oxprossion a-plowing into hor face from day to duy; and littlo Luoilla not dasMn' to speak a word, or move a movo, wlthoutlookin* to her motlior. Why, I got so woro out with it that one dny I up and told Arvilly whnt I thought on't. Iargied (and it was from a deep senso of duly that I did It)âI argied that it split a disposition hy keeping it riled up all the time; it learnt her to be dependent on somebody else always. She didn't know what to do, belli' toid so many different things to once; and, finally, I brung up a deep simely I had heard Mother Smith use, and says I: "As it has been said, and well suld: 'Watch pot never biles,* which I 'spose means, If you watch a kettle too dost, and keep a movin' it back and forth, and pokin' at the coals undor it, it won't bile. Thore ls such a thing as a wise supervision, a overlookin', that don't annoy or disturb, sort o' distant, and near, too, liko the warm watchfulness of the sunlight a bendin' over us ou summer days, soothln' and comfortin', and yot guidin' and Ugh tin' our pathways. But this constant and open tagging after a child, or, as tlio poot would Hay: This taggln* and naggin' is enough to ruin any child whatsomevcr. It jest takes away any frankness and independence of character tbey may have sot out with.'" "Oh, that is what I want to doi I want Lucilla Augusta to lean onto me always. I don't want her over to movo off independent of me." And then I says to Arvilly, with asort of a doep look onto hor: "You'll have to in tho end!" And then I kinder looked right through Arvilly onto great thinga, eternal truths aud consequences, and Bays I: "No human soul can be helped only jost ho fur. Lonely they como into this world, lonely they'll go out of It. And all along through life tbe lonosomosoul, though surrounded by watchfulest relatives and friends, yot in a certain sense lt has got to llvo alone, dwell hy ItHolf in tho doep places whero no oyo can toller It, no oar hear what It says no bno but the Ono who made that soul, mado tho deep places Into which 11 hides Itsolf "Now, that lndopendent Individual life has Its rights. It must have 'em; it is a Hoparatn hoin'âmothers don't want to think bo, but it Is. A mother may want to tako tho hull child, clothes and all, and put lt right in tho middle of her own heart; but sho can't; her heart hain't blgenough. Or she may want to got right outsido of her child's honrt, and fill it full, so full that nothin' else can get in, and Hho weighin' as sho does ovor a hundred; but she can't; sho is too big. 'The best love, tho truest and tho tenderest, has to kindor hang round on tho outside; it can't got inside of tho beloved heart and soul, it can't! It Is a lonesome feolin' to contemplate It, but It ia true. And so what remains for anybody to do Ih only to admit the fact. Own up that the littlo soul haint a partof our own lifo, but has a separate existence ot lta ownâwith its own duties, its own pleasures, and cares and rights. It haa a right to its own little thoughts, Its own Uttle ways, and tho beat we can do for a child ls to teach lt to Btand alone, and itand straight "No niatter how muoh wo love to have it lean on us, and O, how passin' sweet tt Ib to have the little fingers cling to us, and the dear little form lean on ub; but we must put self baok on us; we muat stand ln frontof oursolf, as It wore, and do right, and learn the little erector to walk upright without our help, and once In awhile we muat let go of the little dimpled hands, a leavln' 'om free to grasp holt of lifo for themselves. "A tough lesson for'mothers to learn, one of tho toughest and hardest sums that arc ever set for ono on the slate ot life set for 'om to work out.

"She learns a heroic courage from her love for the child that will combat all dangerâsmile at Satan's rage, and face a frownin' worldâ "She mounts up Into the topmost height of self-abnegation and martyrdom (as I have said more previously) when sho learns it to get along without herâliko an old bird ptiBhin' her young one out of the warm nest ho it may learn to fly.

"No, the wido horizon has now dawned upon ft, tho clear, far fields of ether, and it must soar and sing, and sing its own songs, Imi id its own nest, live itsown life in its own world." (This was an allegory.} An' I talked in this way to Arvilly from hour to Dour, and trom day to day, and oplsoded some. But I don't know as it done much good. Sometimes I am afraid it didn't. You can't givo advico throo times a day In a littlo sweetened wator like boncset tea or squills.

How Thoy Iluliiml tlie Sweet Illnpaaltlon ot » Ilrljflit Uttle GlrL A remarkable Illustration of the faet that evil communications corrupt good manners has recently been homo in upon me, writes the Chicago Journal Bidc-watk stroller. Kor tho last four or five months I havo been on terms of in- timato friendship with a very attractive young woman, who Is nearly two years old. She only uses a fow words, but sho uses them frequently, and she adds about twenty words a day to hor vocabulary. For the first two months of our acquaintance I nover knew her to cry or mako a loud noise, although she was teething, andâfor part of Uio time âBuffering from whooping cough. When she got angry, instead of yelling, Bho just put her thumb in'her mouth and took it over along with her into tlie oornor, whoro aho contemplated tho carpet or the celling until her wrath had subsided. Upon such occasions sho had to do without whatever Bho wanted. But a chango oamo over tho spirit of the scene One day hor cousin, a boy aged four years, was brought up from the country to spend tbo winter with littlo Julia's mother. He is one of tho boys who, when ho sees any thing, takes tt, and when ho doesn't see it, asks for it, and when ho doesn't get tt, just hollers like all the sea-lions, bears and tigers in Lincoln Park. He is a howler from Howlors- villo, and Invariably gets whatever lie wants tn double-quick time. He haa a buzz-saw voice, and ho makes the most of it. When he yells he drowns the sound of the cable-car, which runs he- fore tho dining-room window and he Ib yelling from sunrise to sunset. Julia was much struck with the incomparable efficiency of her cousin's methods of transacting business, and tho day after his arrival entered Into partnership, and adopted his system ln full. Julia nover goes to the corner now when she ts angryâwith or without her thumb. She just oatohes her doll by the leg and bangs Its head against tho glass of the book-case, and howls until the saw-dust begins to flow. She stamps both foet and bangs around evory thing she can lay hold of on tho table. During all her waking hours she and her cousin are fighting like demons. The house Is uninhabitable, and soon tho whole blook will be vacant. Julia, probably, has had her temper spoiled for life. And all this because two, mothors â who are among the best women tn tho world- have no moro idea ot how to educate children than thoy have of the Integral calculus. Yot they are supposed to be doing their duty to society by raising two moro torments for the human raco, THE WELL-BRED GIRL. What Bhe II l.lk» nnd How She May Oa Remlily Distinguished, Do you know many well-bred girls? asks the Philadelphia Times. Ob, they can always bo told. A well-bred girl thanks tho man who gives bor a seat In tho street-car, and does tt ln a quiet and not ln an elf uso way. Sho doesn't turn round to look aftor gamblers or posing actors on the street, and she doesn't think that her good looks are causing tho mon to staro at hor. She doesn't wear all her Jewelry ln the day-time, and she understands that diamond rings, ear-rings and bracelets were Intended for the evoning alono. She doesn't go to supper after tbe theater Is ovor alono with a man. Sho does not declaro tbat sbe nevor rides in streot cars. Sho doos not accept a valuable presont from any man unloss she expects to marry him. â¢ She doesn't talk loud in public plaoes. She does not speak of ber mother In a sarcastic way, and she shows her tho loving doference that Is hor duo. . She doesn't want to be a man and she 'doesn't try 'to Imitate him by wearing stiff bats, smoking oigaretts, and using an occasional big, big D, She doesn't say Bho hates women, and sho haa some good, true frionds among them, Sho doesn't wear boots without their buttons or a frock that needs mending. She doesn't soorn the use of tho needle, and expects some day to mako clothes for vory little poople who w'.U be vory dear to hor, That'a tho well-bred girl; she's the sort that you wantforyour wife, nnd the ono whu will not want to ho au actress, but who will bo faithful through sickness and through health, through Borrow and, if need bo, through shame; who will never waver In her love, and ln whom tho heart of her husband may safely trust. . ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE. A Thrilling Episode That Would Have DeUfhted Wilkie CoUiiu. A ease of mistaken Identity Involving elements of dramatic interest sufficient to make the fortune of a sensational novel has just ocourred In Switzerland, says the Pall Mall Gazette. A young oouple named Favre belonging tothe working class had lived happily together for some yeara at Noufchatel, when the husband, a working mason, began to give way to habits of drinking. Efforts were made to reclaim him, and he became an abstainer for some time. Some, months ago, however, ho broke out again and left hts home. His wife had heard nothing of htm for three monthB, when one night she was awakened by a voioe calling her repeatedly from the street outside and whioh she felt sure was that of her husband. Sho rose, dressed, and went Into the streot, but found no one. A few days afterward she read an account in the newspapers of a man who had committed suicide on the railway at a small village near Bale. From the description of him she suspected It might be her missing husband, and became full of the Idea that tho voice Bhe had heard was a communication from him at the moment of doath. She was corroborated tn her belief by learning, as the result of Inquiries, that ho had made application for work at a neighboring quarry, but being In liquor at the time had been roughly refused by the foreman. The body for somo time now had been Interred, but in order to put an end to her suspense the poor woman, having got'together a little money, started off with tho determination to have the body disinterred. She readied the village, and after some delay secured permission to open tho grave. With two or three men as assistants sho set to work. When tho coffin was opened the effluvium was so terrible that her companions ran and loft her alone wtth her dead. Foi twenty minutes unaided she pursued hei ghostly task. The body had been decapitated by the train, and the head, horribly mutilated, was wrapped by Itself in a doth. Sho uncovered it and recognized it by tho teeth. One of the stockings also Bhe knew again from having mended it with a particular kind of worsted. Her worst fears thus continued, sho returned homo in the depths of sorrow. Tho aged mother of the man was Informed of the identification, and mourning was boing prepared for the wholo family when the orowning aot of tho drama was furnished by a letter which has just beon receivod from Favre himself, announcing that he Is at Wintering alive and well! The wife had, after all, identified the wrong man! Who it is thatactually lies In that lonely grave no one knows. What would not Wilkio Collins have made out of that midnight votoe, tho grave-yard vigil and the extraordinary denouement! BOUGHT BY HIS FATHER. How a Slave-Dealer Whs Oompelled to Withdraw His Bid. In Jacksonville, Fla., In tho winter of 1848, an auction salo of tho personal estato ot a deceased planter, comprising some sovonty or eighty slaves and othor "chattels," was hold in tho public market place. I was glad of the opportunity to soe for myself how suoh things wero done, writes a Now York Sun correspondent. On beginning the salo the auctioneer announced that families would not be separated, but would be sold In "lots." After a number of "lots" had been duly brought to tho block and knocked down to the highest bidders a bright-looking boy was brought forward nnd placed upon the stand. Tho auctioneer at tbo same time called an old colored man among tho crowd to come up and stand beside tbe hoy. Ho did so, aad the auctioneer thon said: "Gentlemen, tho old man is the boy's father; ho lives tn tho Wost Indies, and fs a freo man. Ho wants to buy tho boy and take liim to his home and make him free. He bids 8-100, which is all the monoy be has." The intent of this statement was evidently to discourage any advance on that bid, and It touched a sympathetic chord In his audience. The crowd watched the proceedings for a minute or two in stlonoe, while tbe auctioneer dwelt upon tho bid of S400, and was oalling tt for the third aud last time, when, from the outskirts of the crowd, a voice bid: "Fifty." Every oyo was at once turned in tho direction of the bidder, who was a rough, dissipated-looking fellow, a typical slave trader iu appearance. Tho auctioneer paused a moment, looked annoyed, and then repeated his previous statement concerning the old man, emphasizing the remark that four hundred dollars was all tho money ho had. "Aud now," said ho "I am bid four hundred and fifty." From a dozen voices camo the ery: "Withdraw your bid!" Tho auctioneer awaited tho result. The bidder growled a surly refusal, saying ho "wanted that boy, and had as good right to hid as anybody." "Four hundred and fifty," camo slowly from tho lips of the auctioneer. The shouts of "withdraw your bid!" wore repeated In angry tones on every side. "Well," said the bidder, "I withdraw it." The auctioneer quickly wont back to tho original bid, on which ho dwolt two or threo times, when down wont his hammer. "Sold at four hundred. Old man, tho hoy ts yours; tako htm down." Tho crowd oheerod, and the principal figure In this littlo drama, who the moment boforo had boon tho picture of despair, hurried down from tho stand smiling and happy. AN EVERGLADE COURT. How a Florida Judgo Punished ft Crowd of Lair Lawyera. A Florida lawyor tells a NowYork Tribune correspondent this story of practico down on Indian river: The lawyers down thero wuro good-natured, Indolent fellows, who never had their cases roady for trial whon called. The judgo had often beon forood to spend a week tn the close llttio court-house and at the dreadful hotels, when two days' prompt work would have wiped off the calondar, He had scolded and threatened to no purposo many a time. ''Court week" wbb a semi-annual celebration down there, the "c. ackers'* gathered in from far and near, and the tavern-keepers expected to mnko a good thing of lt and wero seldom disappointed But the judge determined to teach them a lesson on this occasion. Ho opened court promptly, with the result that one-hnlf the cases on tho oal endar wero oalled beforo counsel began to arrive. Of tho other halt not a single oase was ready. Evory lawyer had a witness missing, or a Juror lato, or some logal formality yet to be complied with, and all noted how affable tho judge waa tn granting a few hours' tlmo on the most trivial plea. Finally, wbon the clork ot tbe oourt announced that no more oases: were on theealondar, the Judge gravoly replied: "Mr. Olerk, all theso oases are continued until next term. Thla oourt ls going tUblng." Next term was six months off and thero was great indignation, but the old judge oould not be prevailed upon to change hia mind. â Quill toothpicks oome from Franoe.

A more economical way of doing this work could not havo been devised. A lumber wagon came to grief on Columbia street this morning, one of the axles succumbing to the weight oftho load. The remains of the stnashup were removed to the side of the street and taken away later in the day. The time for receiving tenders for the erection of Mr. P. Bilouean's |two-Btory frame hotel, corner of Columbia, Douglas and Blackie streets, has been extended from Saturday, tbe 15th inst., until Thursday next, Feb. 20th. The weather to-day waB bright, beau* t if nl and warm, and as a result the ladies were out iu full force. Not since the Christmas holidays havo the streets presented so animated au appearance, Let the flue weather continue. The snow has nbout disappeared from the Comox Valley.

The energetic manner iu which the Mainland Association of Vancouver Ib acting with regard to the registration of voters is shown by the fact that 727 names hav been added to the list since Saturday of which 347 were duly entered yesterday on the registrar's list. The list sent to Victoria included 13119 names, so that there are now 2,126 names ou the llat^-News-Advertiser. Three cars laden with silk, ex ss.

NEARLY FATAL. Mrs. George Turner Meets with tt Very BerlouH Accident. A most serious accident happened to Mrs. George Turner last evening, and which only stopped shortof proving fatal by a very narrow margin. Mrs. Turner had heen calling at Mrs. E, S. Scoullar's residence next door, and about 111 o'clock after bidding all "good night" left the house by the back entrance. Tbe two houses connect at the rear by a verandah, only partially protected, and in the darkness Mrs. Turner made a mistep and fell to the ground, a distance of fully 10 feet. Her cries alarmed Mr. Turner and the members of the Mr. Scoullar's family, who were quickly on the scene of the accident and conveyed the injured lady into the house. Fortunately uo bones were broken, but a deep gash on the top of the head, of a serious nature, proved how narrow had been Mrs. Turner's escape. A physician was instantly munitioned anu soon arrived. It was fouud necessary to put several stitches in the wound, which was botb long and deep. To-day Mrs. Turner was resting easily, and progressing as favorably as could be expected under the circumstances. A Mow Dyking1 Solioine. There will be a meeting in the Delta school house ou Saturday .next, the 18th inst., of the settlers of East Delta to tako into consideration a new scheme to dyke a portion of the municipality extending from the eastern boundary to a point on Boundary Bay to connect with the system of dykes there. The extent of land to be reclaimed by this proposed scheme will be in the neighborhood Of 7,000 acres, aud the benefit, to the set* tiers from the dyke will be almost in* calculable. The dyking scheme will be introduced asa municipal affair, under the Municipalities Act of 1889. A full attendance of all parties interested in this proposed improvement is requested atthe meeting. Our New l'leaaure Grounda. The work of improving Albert Crescent is to be undertaken immediately, as will be noticed by an advertisement iu another column calling for tenders to clear the Btumps from this long neglected pleasure ground. The new Citv Couucil has gone into this mutter with commendable prompt ness, und the Crescent, pretty and attractive, will be a credit to the City before the summer is over. Moody square is the next tbat calls for attention, and if the work of clearing and levelling it is commenced within a reasonable length of time, tbe square will be in a fit condition for athletic sports before the end of the season The west end people are anxiously waiting for a move to lie made in improving Moody square, but they will not have to wait long, as it is understood the work will be commenced at the earliest pos< sible date. â¦- -*â* Those Flags A (rain. The Gorrie flags, hired by tbe council last fall, but returned promptly without opening the package as soon as it was learned their use was to cost i40, were flaunted in the face of thu aldermanic board again last night. Mr. Gorrie is inclined to yield a little, and though lu declared some time ago that his ultima turn had been sent, the communication lnid before the council last night «hows that he is not inclined to harsh treatment, but will give the city ono more chance to come down wilh the amount asked, $70 and rfl5 legal costs. Tlie council, however, is strangely immovable in this matter, and declines to give one cent more than the first offer, namely $-10, and tho general opinion is that Mr. Gorrio will get more than be is entitled with Hub sum. The matter has been left in the bunds of Mayor Brown and the city clerk for sett lenient, and if Mr. Gorrie will not accept the $40 he be at liberty tu sue as soon as lie pleases. -â¦â%ââ¢ A Coming Jllewiing. The pound by-daw, passed by last year's council, to prevent the running at large through the city of cattlo aud horses, will come into force ou April 1st Gardening hus already been commenced in tho eity, and within a couple of weeks much will have been done in this direction, therefore it is a pity tho by-law does not come iuto force a month earlier. However, the nuisance will not be spread over the whole year, as in the past, and it is a matter of general congratulation that the city this yoar will uot be subjected to the disgrace of being referred to as a "cattle ranch" by visitors. Gardeners will lie relieved from the'depredations of long-headed cows, aud the ladies will uot lie obliged to turn out into the muddy streets to make room for vicious cattle. The benelit will not fall entirely on the public; the cattle will have to be better cared for hy their owners, and consequently the by-law will serve as a roal boon all round. In the meantime the city couucil should take some steps to prepare a corral for impounded cattle. It will not do to leave this part of the business till the last moment. â¢ââ¢â» The Now Club Hest it u runt. When Mr. Alex. J.Tohnie's newquar ters iu the Bushby Block are finished he will have one of the finest restaurants in the province. The furniture and fix tures have been selected, and only await the going of the plasterers and painters to be put into position. Everything will be commodious and convenient.

Up Btairs aro numerous comfortable, large and airy bed chambers, sitting rooms, parlors, etc., for the especial uso of guests. Oue of the main features of this new house will bu a ladies' privatediningrooiu.nud rooms for private dinner parties. When completed and in running order, the new Club Restaurant will be one of the finest equipped and best managed resorts in the province. CITY COUNCIL.

Grant had mnde tbe best, offer for a ferry service, and that rates would be lower than in the past. Report adopted. The finance committee reported that public feeling was strong against any tampering with Burnaby Lake, and advised that a resolution against tbe scheme ho, introduced. Moved bv Aid. Smither, seconded by Aid. Bntehelor, that the Council of the city of New WeBtmiiistorproleslsagainst any scheme allowing any corporation or persons to drain or lower the level of' Burnaby Lake and calls the attention of the 1 iovcrnuieut to the petitions and protests sent iu last year, and that a copy of this resolution* bo sent to tlto Premier of the Province. Carried unanimously. Tho special scliool taxeB duo tho Government came up fora short discussion, aud it wuh tlie general opinion of the board that the amount should be paid. Ou motion it was decided that the amount in full due on the special school tax bu paid the govornment. The civic officers' Salaries By-Law was recommitted, finally passed aud ordered to bc published. Aid. Johnston introduced the Mayor's Indemnity By-Law, whicb was read a first and second time, and committed. Aid. Hoy said be hnd pledged himself not to vote for nny indemnity to the mayor, and would therefore mark bis dissent. Aid. Johnston commended Aid. Hoy ou his straightforwardness, and said overy member of the board would re- spei'l his scruples. But it bad been understood the mayor was to receive a salary, and he would support it. The by-law was passed, clause by clause, read a third time and finally passed, and ordered to be published. The mayor's salary was fixed at $1,000, to be paid iu monthly installments. Aid. McPhaden asked fur further time to report on the Street Naming and Numheriug|By-Lnw. Aid. Hoy objected to further time being granted,'aud said he would like to know tho reason why a further extension ehould be asked be asked, He had been 14 months wrestling with the bylaw, and that should hnvo been time enough. After a few remarks by other aldermen, further time to report was granted. On motion the confirmation of Police magistrate Atkinson wus ordered to bc asked from the lieutenant-governor. Aid. Shiles was grunted six weeks leave of absence. Aid. Johnston moved that the boani of works call for tenders to extend the improvements of Edinburgh street to tho North Arm road. Aid. Shiles objected to nny tenders being let until a statement of the Btreet accounts is prepared. Aid. Johnston and Aid. Sinclair both urged the necessity of this street being improved immediately, as it is next to impassible, aud the traflic is greatâ almost as great as any street in the city. Aid. Hoy suggested that the work be not proceeded with until Fortesque street was completed, and he insisted that the plans at any rate, should be nccepted uy the council first. After considerable discussion the board of works was ordered to have .plaiiB prepared for the improvement of Edinburgh street. His worship snid he had allowed the aldermen tu speak 7 times each ou tlie subject just disposed of, but in future tho members would have to keep to order. He said the discussion had proved the necessity of a definite street policy being arranged. Aid. Hoy introduced a motion: "Thut the board of works be instructed to have the sidewalks completed on Agnes, Clement, Fortescue, Patrick, Pelham, John, Mnry and Park streets. Iu bringing the motion before the council Aid. Hoy said the lumber for these walks was already on tbo ground, and the most of it bad beeu puid for. A large number of men were idle in the city at present, and if work un these Improvements were commenced it would give employment to these people, Aid. McPhaden thought it useless to lay any more sidewalk ou Fortesque street! at present, and suggested that Edinburgh street bo inserted iu the motion instead. Aid. Johnston agreed with the last speaker, aud declared that the west end was uot getting its just rights, while ou the contrary the east end wns getting more than its share. Aid. Hatcbelor said tbe west end only wanted its rights. Fortesiiuo Street was scarcely used while Edinburgh street, one uf the main arteries uf the city, was budly neglected, aud a disgrace to the city. All the sidewalk work proposed was a long way from Edinburgh street, uml of uo benefit to the people uf that locality, Aid. Shiles pointed uut the fuet that the lumber for the proposed new sidewalks bad been laid down two months ago; the walks had to be built, men were out of employment, ond tho work should go on. HiB worship thought it best to drop both ForteBcue and Edinburgh > streets from tbe motion und proceed with tbe others, leaving the former niatter to be sottled by the board of works during the week. Aid. Sinclair thought this ft gootl method; and so did Aid. Shiles, but the remainder of the board did not wish to give ih au inch until they bad just wbat was wanted. Half an hour's wrangling followed, during which, contrary to the mayor's promise, soveral of the Aldermen spoke at least half a dozen times. No progress in tbe question was made during this time, und Aid. Shiles Dually went home in disgust. Finally a motion was introdeced, lay- ingthe matter over till the next meeting, whicli was carried. Aid. Hoy rose and stated that in anticipation of the original motion carrying, men were already at work on some of the streets. He wished to clear himself, and would therefore move that all work be suspended ami the men discharged. The last motion had made this move necessary and he regretted it deeply as the men were badly in need of employment. This rather startled several members of the board who hurriedly declared they did not want any men to De throvn out of work. After some discussion it was resolved to let the work go on another day and settle the questions at issue at a meeting of tbe Board of Works to be held tonight. Aid. Shiles gave notice that he would bring in a police officers' by-law. The Council then adjourned.
