Inexplicable as it seems, lt was undoubtedly a case of suicide, al- though what led up to it, the police ore at a loss to soy and theonly causothat con satisfactorily be glvon is that of temporary Insanity, Ths unfortunate man had evidently sat on a log to do the dssd end had clutched the revolver In his righthand. . The bullet entered a- bove the right ear snd went clean through the head, When found he was lying partly on his face, tbo pistol arm under him end still holding the gun. There was a mark on the thumb made by the gun, caused by the pressure ot the body on it. Death must have been Instantaneous, Ths revolver was a Smith ft' Weston, one chamber was loaded when picked up, while two other chambers showed thot thoy hod evidently been fired some time before, possibly before the deceased hnd come Into possession of It. There wee a box of caitrldges In the coat pocket. Blood scattered over the face had prevented Identification, and In fact It was only when a search ol the city had beon begun to see If ths revolver had recently been purchased, that Identity wen established, when It evolved that the deceased had last night entered Into negotla- .

That u man of such nn excitnlilo nuturc should hnvo boon appointed to re- foreo an inter-lenguo gamo so surprised the Island authorities thut they decided to register a protest ngninst lho appointment und suggested the name's of Mr. w. Ellis and McHoney ns nccoptublo and efficient referees. Tbo result of this vory mild protest is now woll known. Perhaps the protest wus u mistake. Clearly it wns nn error in tactics; for it enubled tlio Mainland Association to transfer tho onus of n bnd appointment lo tlie Islund uuthori- tics. Tbe Mainland pooplo .saw this point nnd certainly mtulo tbe most of it. Moreover thoy secured the help of Nuiiiiinio. Tlio Island Association volunturily surrendered quite a large slice of thoir. gate on Sntur- duy to oblige Nanaimo on Sunduy. For tholr consideration tbey are turned down. More than that tlie Nanaimo dolegato is turned down. Ho was as oniphutic au any' dolegato present in his opinion of Mr. McColl ns referee. Yet bis Club go behind him uud behind tlio Association to usk McOoll to roforoo tholr Sunduy game. Of course, tlio Nanaimo management bad a porfeot right to please itself, but one would have thought thut loyalty to Its Association as woll us rogurd for its own delegate would hnvo slopped it from playing so opuniy into the bunds of a bunch of sports from which tbo Islund has never got uiiythiiig like justice.

LONDON, April 7.-Interest has been aroused in naval circles by the report that tho British admiralty is considering the purchase ol the two big battleships now being built in this country for Brazil. It is pointed out that Brazil has no need for two Buch powerful ships, which in addition to their original cost will be expensive to maintain. It is certain that Great Britain will buy these vessels, should this be the only way of preventing! their falling into the hands of other European powers. Rio Janeiro, April 7.âIniormation from an unofficial source today leads io the belief that Italy is ready to sell to the Argentine republic for twenty million dollars the three bat, tleships Regina, Etna Napoli and Rome. The Argentine is thought to be contemplating this increase in her navy to counterbalance the project 61 Brazil to augment her strength at sea. It was announced from London leet August that tho Brazilian government hnd placed orders for three new i.ottlcships in England at an approximate cost of nino million dollars each. These vessels were in addition to the two cruisers to cost over oie.en million dollars. At the same time lt wae said that Argentina hnd ordered three giunpoate also from England.

We will soon know. The die is now cast. Between now and the time when the question will be finally submitted to tlie people every citizen who has his own comfort at heart and cares anything for tho development of the town will carefully consider the issues at stake and determine his action nccordiogly. Let it bo remembered that if the proposition be turned down once again, then tho town will bo voted a back number by all those having doallngs with it, and evory avenue of progress and development will beclosed to it. At the next meeting of the Counc a bylaw will be introduced by Aid.. Matheson for the purpose of borrowing a sum of money sufficient for the installation of an electric lighting plant, This bylaw will be introduced in response to a petition presented to the Council, and marks the culmination of a lielluito movement for light*. Before the niunici- pal elections took place tbe Citizens' League was inaugurated, and a progressive platform pushed up to the candidates for civic honor*. Pore most among the measures ot the League wa* thl* question of on electric light plant. The necessity of the city having lights has never been questioned. The League made it it* business to create a (eellng for the immediate installation of clty.owned plant. When the time wa* thought to te ripe, petitions were prepared and sent round among the ratepayers for signatures. The petition* wero of two distinct kinds. The one prayed the Council to. introduce a bylaw for a lighting plant to be owned and operated by a private company. Thl* petition, be it remarked, wae signed by only two ratepayers. The other petition aaked the Council to borrow money for the purpose of installing and operating! a plant of their own. It mul signed by over ten per cent of the ratepayers, and included the moat representative men in evory section of the community. Indeed th* number of names on the petition and the character of tho citizens included on the list, raise the bright- est hope* for the successful Issue of the whole scheme. If the petitioner* will at the proper time ro-1 cord their vote in the same manner there will be lights In the city ' by the fall. The League has often been sneered at and even its potential usefulnoss scornfully denied, but this petition is the work of Its memliers and the general forwardness of the l«*ole proposition, especially the awakening of public Interest, is the result of its labors. The Council may lo depended upon to rush ths bualnesa which has now devolved upon them. Mayor Nicholson and all his colleagues are anxious to redeem tholr pledges and to do something which will render their term of office memorable. It was obvious on Monday evening that the Whole Council fully realized the gravity of the situation which had heen thrust upon them. The question of Installation of an electric light sys tern is big enough to give pause lo ths most ardent reformer. Moreover, over It all are tho ghostly shadowa of former failures, still the Coun ell promptly took up Its obvious duty. A by-laer, in accordance with the tenor of the petition will in introduced. It will l,e hurried through tho Council as rapidly as possible, and then referred to tho ratepayers.

WINNIPEG, April 2.-A stuff representative of the Winnipeg Telegram has Just returned from a trip 'over 100 miles on the line ol tho Grand Trunk Pacific between Kenora and Fort William, and makes a showing of fifty men blown to pieces during the past twelve months, and a* many more maimed for life. The report is replete with figures, names and dates on which the tragedies have occurred. A statement i* made that the fatalities are chiefly due to the inferior quality of the explosives used, snd the ignoranco of tho mon handling the dynamite. The report further lends the Impression that some deaths have not been reported, and that men havo been carelessly buried Without religious service or any efforts to identify their resting places. S. R. Faulin, the departmental engineer ol the National Transcontinental railway In Winnipeg, denies that men have Tioon burled in uncon- â¢ecraled ground, and argues that, while the death rate is large, it is BO larger than can bo expected considering the number of men employed and tbe quality ot tho work. ODDS AND ENDS FROM THE BIG CITY NEW YOHK, April 4,-ln spite ot the fact that opera follows upon opera and play upon play, there is no amusement that. attracts old and young alike so much as tbe circus. For' tho past two weeks Darnum and Bailey's circus has been holding forth in Madison Square Garden and in spite of tho fact that there are nearly a quarter of a million unemployed in New York, the big house hs* been filled at every performance. Tho oxoltement runs as high in Gotham over the circus, as it doos in a small town, where it is tho only attraction of tho year. Ono of tho curious facts about tho circus this year ls that thoy woro not allowed to exhibit thoir freaks as in other years, owing to tho protests of certain societies. A bootblack, who is believed to have held the world's record for bones broken and timo spont In tho ho*pltal, died recently, after having .fallen into a collar way and brokon both lege. Tho bootblack, had his stasd in Brooklyn and was considered ono of tho characters of the neighborhood. Whotovor was the matter with his bonoo, thoy woro as brittle a* glass. He would bs fooling fine and a patron would bo on tho stand whoso shoes he wished to mak* particularly glossy, whon suddenly ono of his arm* would fall dangling by his sldo, "Thoro goes an arm," he would say calmly, 'â¢'That's what comes of trying to give you a good shine." Ho would then hurry oil. to tho hospital whero he would lay up for two or throo months. In twenty years too bootblack had boon to the hospital forty- six times, and on an average had spent three months each year nursing a. fractured bone. â-4 A prominent visitor In Wall street the other day was struck by tho number of people In the financial district who seemed to have nothing to ds.

The British steamer Taunton, Captain Aloon, of Lambert Bros., which entered the dry dock at Esquimalt yesterday morning to be overhauled and cleaned and painted, und will leavo today for Nanaimo to load bunker , coal, thence goes to Hastings mills, to load lumber for Melbourne, has had on eventful' voyage since leaving homo, says the Victor- la Colonist. She was cut down in collision in the Delaware river, and beached to avoid sinking, and whon repaired while In New York, she took lire and was gutted. ' The Taunton was one of the steamers which sulfered in the hurricane which devastated Galveston, boing driven a - considerable dlstanco inland and was flouted with great difficulty. In August last the Taunton was threo miles from Philadelphia with a cargo ol Jute, gunnies, etc., valued at a million and a half dollars, from Calcutta when the steamer Saratoga, a new Hard liner ol the Kew York-Cuba service, Just built at Cramp's shipyards, came down tho river at a speed ot sixteen knots an hour. Suddenly the Saratoga whose steering gear is believed to have been, disarranged, swerved toward the Taunton and before sho could bo manoeuvored to clear, crashed into the freighter. The Saratoga's stem struck the Taunton straight against the beam which waa driven well in. Had the impact been a fow feet cither way lt is improbable that any ol the Taunton's crew would bavo escaped us she must have foundered quickly. As it was, Capt. Moon had to run his vessel to shore quickly to escape foundering. The Taunton was beached In the river and temporary repairs wero made to allow her to proceed to New York. Whilo at New York tho Taunton took flro aad it was thought ior time that shs would bo a total loss but four fire boats woro requisitioned and tlie steamer wns flooded, the valuable cargo being destroyed. Tho repairs resulting from the col- llslon in ths Delaware cost $85,000. The action brought against the Saratoga for tho accident Is still pending ond settlement le still afar. The damage due to the flre in NewYork resulted in an expenditure of 85,500 for repairs, to the steamer. At New York tho Taunton loaded a cargo of case oil for Taurga and Nagasaki cn account of the Standard Oil Compony, and after discharging loaded hardwood ties at Kushlro and Otaru for Guaymas. The steamer sailed Boon lifter the Perndono, nnd like that vessel an- countered very henvy weather whon crusslng tho Pacific.

We are com- I ing to. the Summit, and tbe way the fine spirited horses tugged at the 'traces told of the height* to.. be climbed. We had been pawing through budding forests and runningi alongside running streams; we had noticed the crocus and the deep purple wall flower along the wild hedg- les; everywhere rich and clustering ivy hung, and spring had laid her 'hand upon the forest latch. From this sumptuousness we cams to a parched cedar line of trees; to Ars 'that huddled together; to still waters and to patches of parched grasses. The big timbers seamed to huddle together, and the orr grew perceptibly colder, though the sun was shining in a dazzling brilliancy between the Interlacing houghs, Sud denly, without warning we came into snowflolds, and the toilsome hills, thirteen hundred feot of ascent had been covered; we had reached "The Summit,"âwere (seemingly) on a level with white crowned Arrow- Istnlth, ' which towers six thousand I feet in the air, and saw unfolding ini the early mbming light nil the fa-1 brie colors of a radiant sunlight. The snow on Arrowsmith was tinged with pink! I never saw anything lovelier in nature. At one point in the winding rood we came to Cameron Lake, a pic turesque body of water almost live miles in length. The coach rood ran alongside for this distance, and unfolded to the sight such beauties in water shadows, in pebbly beaches, Jin swirling turns of tide and willow Islcnded nooks with open spaces suited to bathing, that insensibly. I [found myself once more standing by the far-famed Lugano, in the old World, asking myself, "Can there be anything more fair?" [ No one considers and few understands that here in Canada, ln tbe [wild haunts of our forests, we have all that Switzerland and Italy boast! If you doubt this, come to Vancouver Island by way of the Canadian llockies; make the coach trip [inland to pretty Alberni, and you'll Hnd duplicated and outdone, the old world tourist point* so dwelt upon [and poetized. There is nothing in Italy, Switzerland or Ireland to surpass what we have at home. Oh, you Canadian people who go abroad "to see", did you but know it there liie* at your very door, Medlterran- |eans, Homes, Killamey lakes; and the Isle of Wight gives to the thousands who pour over Its famous "coaching lanes," nothing to compare with what I found yesterday in British'Columbia. Having arrived at the Summit, the horses rested, off we went down grade this time. I can imagine nothing more lovely than that scamper down ' hill, through hemlocks, bull- pine, fir, spruce, and graceful alder bush. Ovcr small bridges, arching line, trout streams, clear as crystal; the da»h along lower levels, in a- mongst the railway camps; dropping mail here and there in tree branch post oinoes and snatching from other pine-branch "posts" mall bags left dangling. The baggage rolling off, tbe passengers hanging on; the rattle of the wheelsâthe straining of the horse*âtho crack of the long, postilion whip! Such a riotous run for twentyftwo miles, and, with a great swerve of coach, tremendous barking of dogs, and general' scampering of horses' heels, we swept up 'to the door of the roadhouse at Parkavllk. Tho roadhouse fills the piece of 'home to the wayfarers; and Its need up to the present, ha* been very [great. You receive bed and.board' at the road house; you are accepted at face value there, and you may be [the greatest outlaw In existence, but you'll receive the came attention a* a lord bishop, providing you psy [the coin.
