On August 25th four (leriiian nien- of-wnr liuulecl a force at Apia, the chief town, and proclaimed n native prince, Taumsese, King. But' Ma- liotoa is the Icing recognized by' the United States and England, and the action of the German coiniiiand- er, Hensult, foe this nnd other reasons, is practically a seizure for Germany of the islands. . Despatches from Washington give cleurnets and point to the situation. The Sumoan or Navigator Islands are about four hundred miles north- cast of the Fiji Islands. They are in the direct route from California to Australia. The importance of having a station for coaling and other relit ting purposes there is obvious. To this end commander, now captain, Meade, of the United States Navy, visited the islands in 1872, and negotiated an arrangement with the native chiefs whereby tho harbor of Pungo-Pango was taken under our National protection. President Grant afterward sent a special agent, Mr, Steinberger, to the islands, and he reported that the chiefs desired that the whole group should pass under our protection. Now Pungo Pango is a better harbor than that of Apia, which is on the island of Upohc. It is landlocked, has a clear and easy entrance and water sufficient for the largest ships. The details of the treaty with Samoa as ratified by the United States senate have been set forth and this, with the tidings of the German occupation and their subsequent declaration of war with Malietoa, attests to the gravity of the situation. It is to be hoped that the authorities at Washington will duly appreciate it and will concede nothing that the rights and the dignity of the United States make it proper to retain. Such firmness will be specially becoming in view of the repeated disclaimers made by Germany of any intention to interfere with the relations al-r ready established by treaty bet- weenHaraoa and ourselves. —N. Y, Herald, !..::. The Const Railway System. The San Francisco Chronicle says- Through railway connection between this city and Vancouver, B. 0., and eventually between the latter placo md Les Angelos, is an event not far oil'. It has only been a few days ago since Senator Stanford, in an interview in this paper, spoke enthusiastically on this very subject,' predated that it would soon be a fact, and looked upon it as a grand trunk lino placing nil important points on the ;wajtmt «oasb of -the; United States in rapid and easy communication with eaoh other. And the gentleman's words in this connection lira of great interest when it is stated that n syndicate has recently been formed to Jjuild a road from Wealmini'trjr to Whatcom. To understand the railway situation in that northern country, a few words of explanation will be necessary. Vancouver is the Pacific terminus cf the Canadian Pacific road. Wirstmiiisier is only a short dist iii.ru soutli from Vancouver, and bo'.h towns aw connected by rail. Westminster is on the Gulf of Georgia, and directly opposite is the town of Nanaimo on Vuuoouvur Island. Directly south of Nanaimo is Esquimalt. Both of these places are connected by rail. This rail nud water communication between Vancouver and Esquimalt is known as the Nanaimo and Esquimalt railroad company. Now Watcom lies on the east sido of the Gulf of ■ Georgia, and it is surmised that the owners of the Esquimalt road and the Wellington coal mines on Vancouver Island—and in the latter Charles Crocker and Senator Stanford are interested—am tho backers of the scheme to connect it by rail with Westminster, so as lo hasten the lillinir up of the gap that will give rail connection with Portland and this city. The Northern Pncitic already has a Hue from Portland to Tacoma, and with the • line to Whatcom completed, the intervening country would soon be covered. Port Townsettdj Senltlo and Ijireon- nor are* tile important towns in the inlet'vutiiiig space, and from Whatcom a road is already being constructed towards Seattle, which will pass through Laconner and on Uie east sido of the liay, directly opposite tn Port Townsend and within easy ferry communication with it. With these two roads completed there will bo full completion ff*n Vancouver as far south as Seattle. This accomplished there can be no doubt but tlmt the Northorn Pacific will lie'eager to extend north froiu Tacoma to that point. Of course it may take two years to accomplish all tliis, but by that timo tire west line of tlio Southern Pacific from Los Angeles via San Luis Obispo to this oily will bo finished, and the line between hero and Portland will have been completed and in operation. This will constitute as line u railroad system for the Paoific coast as exists in tho east between the great Atlantic seaboard cities, BY TELEGRAPH.

LAST NIGHT'S DESPATCHES. PITZR FIQUT.

Toronto, Oct. 20.—The Globe publishes a cable from Belfast giving a Bummnry of Joseph Chamborlain's speech there on Saturday.

Commercial union with the States means freo trade between Canada nnd the United States, and a protective tariff agaiust the mother counti-y. If Canada wants' that, she can have it, but Canada knows perfectly well that commercial union with the United States means political separation from Great Britain." :; IIIOTBIW AND SOCIALISTS. London, Oct. 20.—The trouble with the socialists and unemployed people continues. To-day one of tho agitators of the mob in Hyde Park unrolled a red flag and waved it abovo his head, shouting "Hurrah for the glorious commune.

Hitherto the question of commercial union has been kept out of the political arena, but current events lead to the opinion that before long it may become a chief plank in the platform of one of the political parties. It is worthy of notice that the proposal is favored chiefly by reformers and reform organs, and its chief opponents belong to the opposite party. This statement is by no means without exceptions, for many reformers have expressed opposition to commercial union, while not a few conservatives favor it. It is remarkable, also, that nearly every independent newspaper in the east is in favor of the new proposal. It would not be surprising if the lib eral party should make commercial union its battle ery at every political cantest of the future. It is remarked that the lines are being constantly drawn more definitely on this question. While Sir Richard Cart- wright comes out guardedly for the new policy, Sir John and Sir Charles are said to exhibit deoided opposition. There is much discontent in the eastern provinces. Business operations for the past two years have been unsatisfactory. The public debt has increased to a figure that creates misgivings in many minds, In his speech the other day Sir Richard Oartwright pointed out many serious difficulties in the way of commercial union; and while fully recognizing the risks involved, he thinks there are still greater risks in the present condition of affairs, and advises the people to choose the least of many evils. sengers and freight to reach their destination without change and without extra charges. Thero is no doubt that this completing link will be built some day. It is absolutely necessary to the completion of the railway system on the Pacific coast, and the sooner it comes the better for all interests. No company can successfully resist the force of public demand. The voice of tho people must prevail. The gentlemen from the east who visited our city yesterday expressed great surprise at finding so large and progressive a place, and at the abundant resources by which it is surrounded. If these gentlemen had taken the route usually adopted —going through Vancouver to Victoria and returning the same way— they would have gone home with a ven imperfect idea of this province and its capabilities. They would see two cities fairly worth seeing; they would admire the magnificent scenery which everywhere delights the eye of the British Columbia tourist; they would undoubtedly become impressed deeply with the greatness of the C. P. R. as a national work, and of its usefulness; but they might remain profoundly ignorant of the resources upon which the country depends for existence and development. There is no productive industry to speak of about Victoria or Vancouver (except the manufacture of lumber), hut in the immediate vicinity of Westminster, in addition to the manufacture of lumber, we have tho great fish canning establishments and agricultural products that cannot lie excelled anywhere in the world. We think the railway company would Deserving its own interests as well as those of the country if it encouraged more of its guests to visit Westminster and its surroundings. Those who have done so are invariably surprised and delighted, and nearly every one of them goes away an active immigration agent. The more quickly this country becomes filled with settlers, the better will it be for the railway company, and the best way to accomplish this is to show visitors what are our resources and how infinitely they may yet be expanded. The extract which appears on the fint page of this paper, relating to the completion of the railway system of the Pacific coast, by the construction of a line from this city to meet the American roads, gives additional evidence of the anxiety existing on the sound for railway connection witii the C. P. R. This anxiety evidently does not spring from a notion that the Americans will be able to take business away from the Canadian road. The people all along the sound, with the single exception of Tacoma, have always manifested a wish to do business with our road, because they had given up hope of obtaining {rom the Northern Pacific what aeemed to them fair and equitable treatment. Even with the present unsatisfactory means of reaching the 0. P. R., a large and increasing trade comes to it from sound ports. If the chain of railways proposed wu completed, it is safe to say that the American traffic over the C.P.R would be vastly increased, because it would be placed in a position where it could compete on fair terms with the other transcontinental roads. There is no doubt that the American roads will very soon be extended through Seattle, Laconner and Whatcom to Boundary Bay. The country along this route has abundant resources, and a large part of it if settled up and producing the fruits of industry. If by any means this projected line from this city to the boundary should fail, the O.P.R. would not then be in a position to compete with American roads for either the passenger or freight business oi the sound. A system where it becomes neoessary to tranship from railway to steamer and from steamer over wharves can never compete fairly with a system where a through railway line enables pas- Perfeot Hair Indicates a natural and healthy condition ol the scalp, and of the glands through which nourishment is obtained.

I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for a long time, and am convinced of its value, when I was 17 years of age my heir began to turn gray.

A few nights ago lie stayed to the usual hour, and as he passed ont the front door he discovered that it was cloudy and dark.

It arrived nt the frontier in a train from Italy, along w.th five similar ones. A curious depression upon one of these blo.fe aroused tlu susplcinn of a donanicr, und upon examination the trick was discovered; Tlu boxes were filled with bnllast to main them heavy, an 1 at the brrftorn of each lay $5,000 worth of Venetian luce.

Probably only an ollicer w.ro possessed long familiarity with the ways of smugglers would suspect a pile of foiir dozen ordinary soup plates. Here is such a pile. There is nothing in tlio least suspicious about tho top nnd bottom dozens, but the twenty-four plates in the middle form ouo deep vessel with two dozen projecting rims and when tin adroit little arrangement was seized this vessel wns full of contraband brandy. A coliln despatched from Marseilles nn 1 bearing a railway label has a cur'ous history. During the epidemic of cholera at Marseilles, two or threo years tuo, coffins were constantly passing the barriers of that city and the officers respectfully uncovered as another collar! I victim of the pestilonce was solom nly wheeled past on a hand-cart. The fear of inlection lulled their suspicion, p r- haps, but when tho cholera vas slu nji.t.1 out and still the coffins did not diminish in number, it wns resolved to pluck o it the heart of the mystery. The next cof. fin that arrived was opened, and was letotii to be crammed with choice cigars. Perhaps the most daring scheme tor cheating the Parisian city chest, of which the museum contains evidence, wns elaborated by a gentleman who wns In the habit ol driving his elegant victoria every evening past the barrier to the entrance of the Hois de Boulogne. He was always accompanied by a smart groom, who slumbered peacefully upon the box while his master drove. Shortly afterwards — sufficiently long to allow tho gentleman to make tho regulation "tour du lac"—the carriage would return; and the officials became so accustomed to its passage that they cojajd to examine it, and the owner drove bark into Paris at a smart trot, courteously returning their salutations with his whip. That smart trot was his undoing. One evening the victoria ran into a heavy wagon and master and groom were thrown out Monsieur was picked up insensible, while from a deep wound in tho head of the groom slowly trickled a Btrciitu of cbiimpiigne. The intereslinj menial wns composed of zinc dexterloris- ly fashioned aud painted; and ho has found a resting place in the smuggler's museum. Tho carriage was Ion ml l> contain a zinc "woll," which wns likewise full of champagne.

From the first fruit that ripened in tho Spring to tha lost to come—tlm quince— there have been great expectations nud little renllzution. The strawberry crop wns very unsatisfactory. The cherry crop was the greatest failure in many years, yet the trees hung full with fruit, even to the ripening season, but excessive rains just at the critical time destroyed the crop. The rainy serison followed the cherry ripening sens >;i from Virginia to Canada. Th'Unison river raspberry crop was literally washed, from canes. The currant crop was less titan a third of what wns expected. Tin jiirncli orchards from Virginia to New Voirk, hnve refused to yield uuytliing like the quantity of fruit expected of them. Tho Hudson river grape crop will be but a little more tluui ono-hnlf tho amount expected by the grower so Into as midsummer. The apple crop, as the timo for gathering it approaches, seems to be less promising. But a light crop of quinces Is expected In Western New York, where most ol that fruit.that is sold ln tills city is produced, The only fruit that has been Hourly up to expectation in tho quantity yielded was the Bartlett pear crop. They have been abundant, ol Hue quality, although somewhat uuder size and cheap.—Ai 1'. rinics. Un.

There will be a special meeting of the city council to-night, at the usual hour, to discuss the report of a statement said to have been made by the provincial secretary on the Southern Bailway. Every wife and mother in tho ■■omitry should know the great value of Ayers Saioaparilla, as a blood imrifier.

The next meeting of the urectors will tRhe plaoe on November iiOth in the council chamber, at whicl- the - public are cordially invited to be present. Mcnihcrs I oirmiir,. Messrs. Orr aud Ladner, two of the representatives of the district of Weat- in tho local legislature, havo forwarded the following protest to the Ottawa Aim iVwa and several other eastern newspapers: "Wl'.oreas the Hon. Jno. llobson, Provincial Secretary of tho province of British Columbia, is reported to have fuid to tho reporter of the Ottawa .Free Press that tho people of British Columbia aro satisfied to forego their wish for frailway c;:n .ec- tiun between New Westminster and the boundary, although it would be a benefit to them. If he made such a Etatement as above quoted, he did so without any foundation, in fact, as the people of the district of New Westminster, which he-has the honor of representing, and the whole province, are opposed to the unjustifiable assumption of the Dominion government ;.f disallowing acts passod by tho provincial legislature solely affecting tho interests of the province, and not opposed to thu ultimate advantage of the national highway, paid f: r by the peoplo and handed over to.■■ monopoly." The final word in tins declaration seems to us quite uncalled-fur under the circumstances, and most injudicious. A lerleu Accident. The attention of tbe council has been repeatedly called to the dangerous condition of the sidewalks in various parts of the city, but hitherto nothing has been done to remove the dangers or make the sidewalks passably ssfe on a dark - night. Last night, while two gentlemen were returning home, one of them, on passing Duncan's hotel, naught hii foot in a hole in the sidewalk aod was thrown heavily tu the ground. ■ In falling the whole weight of the body was thrown on the left hand, which we regret to say was very badly sprained. The gentleman ao* oompMyin;j hit* suffered a severe fall also, but luckily without any bad results. It is too bad that the condition of the streets is such that a person's limbs are not ule on a night when it is too dark to pick out the holes aud broken planks in the sidewalks. Probably wnen some very serious or fatal aooident occurs these evils will be remedied, bnt we ean scarcely expect i change for the better until then, Thomas Myers, Bracebride? writ' :— "Dr. Ti>omasr Eclectric Oil is the best medicine I eel*. It alwayi gives satisfaction, and in cases of coughs, colds, sore throat, Ao., Immediate relief has been t-eodved by those who use it." Growth oi I I'etfw (fi-taiiisni. At a meeting tt the executive of the Home Mission Committee uf the Presbyterian Church in Canada, held in Toronto on the 12th inst., matters relating to tho mission work of that ohunili wero discussed.

The Nor'-West Excursionists. Taken Down the ETvcr ed ihe Steamer Adelaide nnd are Dc'lihf crt wllh lliclV.it> Owing to the lateness of the hour yesterday when tho excursion returned to tho city, we were unable to give a full report of the points visited nnd tho sights seen, and as this v.'»s tho'" -b occasion on which our citizens have had tho pleasure of thus entertaimug visitors from tho North-West, and showing thorn the various industries and res i-vcea of this vicinity, a fuller description tlirm given iu yesterdays isnuo will not bo out of place. On board the steamer Adeluido there were altogether funrtgeu gontlemnn from Calgary and Winnipeg, most of them members of the oWio curn>.rations of thoso cities, rnd many of our own prominent citizens. Thoir trip to the coast was taken mure as an excursion rather than for the purpose of making a study of the country. A few of our most enterprising cifcifeBMi always alive to the iuterasts of tho proviuco, not wis'uiKj to allow these gentlemen to return without seeing at least n portion of tho fuvi}Hiig lands and a few of our industries, arranged to show them as much ns possibly could be shown in tho few hours at their disposal. The first stop the steamer made was at Ewen's cannery which though not working, was viewed with much interest by tho visitors, who all expressed themselves as much pleased with the apparent completeness of. «vnry- tHirijS nliijui Uia OHt'.blianment.; Mr. Ewen informed the jurfcy that Young's cannery at Cnnoe Pass was in full operation, and, as everyone w«b anxious to see how the fish wero put up, tho party embarked again and soon arrived at the cannery. r"m visitor; were shown the canning process from ths time the fish were L.nded on tlio wharf until packed away in cases ready for shipment to any clime. Thnt they woro interested and pleased with what wps seen, ia putting it lightly, as many of them considered it was worth the trip from the N rth-West to see this industry alone. After an hour and a half had been'spent in tho cunery tho excursion proceeded to Ladners whereMr. Thos. McNeeloy's garden was inspected. The visitors had aeen lots of large vegetables in tlie North- West but they wero not prepared to look upon them aB dwarfs compared with those Mr. McNee^ey's garden resented. Mr. McNeeley kindly gave tho Nor'-Wester's permission ':o carry away with them some of tbe vegetables they took a fancy to, and amongst thoce taken might be mentioned a caul i Sower weighing 18 pounds, a red cabbage weighing 30 pounds, and a mangold wuriiel weighing 25 pounds. Numerous other vegetables of enor- mouB siKO wero curried r.wp.y by the astonished visitors. After Itaving Ladners the steamer prcwrbd to the Bidmouhitc" ovy, where tloexcursion- is ti were shown several million eggs in process o? hatching: the general working of the cntabli? ? it was also fully explained to them. On bo.n'd the steamer a vory nice Utile lunch was i^ervod, which waa ptu-tukeu of with much neat, as the appetites of the party had been well sbt'i-poood by the long trip and fresh air. While the luncheon was going on Mr. James Rielly, of Calgary, acting as spokes- man for tho visitors, roso and returro \ thanks for tho ci.uvtcous treatment they had received at the hands of the citizens of Westminster. !To said t'.e trip had been a source of delight to him from beginning to -end, a*id tho many interesting things tie had seeo that day would long be remembered by himself and, he was sure, by every other member of the p. rty. He had no idea that such a beautiful country lay with!,.i bo short a distance of Wost- minstev, and had they not been taken in hnnd, by the gentlemen who originated the excursion.! the whole party would h.ive returned homo ignorant of having missed ono oi tho most beautiful trips it had ever been their privilege to enjoy. Mayor Dickinaon f3- - spondod and in a few well ohoicn remarks conveyed to tho visitors the plcmiro it afforded tlu citizens of Westminster iii flowing them this small portion oi tlie beautiful valley of tho FraBcr. He hoped that when a'.iyuno in the Northwest spoke to thetn of British Columbia tHey jyould not forget what they had seen in the vicinity of Westminster.*' Othr.:- speeches wore made, and the visitors one and all expressed their intention of removing from tho minds of t-ietr friends tho erronemiB impression that British Oolunitja was nothing but a sea of mountains. As the steamer, returning from Ladnors, wmo within view of Wwtminstor thero was a gen- oral expression of surprise at the beautiful picture tho city presented, and many declared tiny had nover aeon anything so pretty. Aftor landing, tlio tire hall and council chamber, and many poiuta oi interest in nn ' around the city were vinited.
