Hon A B B Davit VOLUME 2 NEW WISTMINSTBB, a 0., SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 26, 1887. NUMBER *8 3-tUiJ *f) ritiolt (tolniitbisn Haiarft-r arralH. r.brawry It. ism. A Montana man who recently arrived in the oity with five carloads of oattle, for whioh he pocketed several thousands of dollars, was dragged into a justice court yesterday with' 75 cents surplus in his pooket. "Fainting the town red" is extravagant. — Chicago Inter-Ocean. Niemann, the illustrious tenor, whose season with the Metropolitan Opera Oompany haa just closed, prefers to expose hia throat to the cold air and to promenade in the streets, after singing a laborious role, rather than to muffle his neck and go home in a close carriage. The cold air serves his larynx as a tonic, and the prime donne who are afraid of it make a mistake, he thinks, The city .oounoil of Toronto, by a majority of two, has resolved to reduce tlit im«*ht»'»«l tavern, saloon and tecr li*-e*«es,AoB- 80S to 150, aud to raise the license fee from $300 to WW, and the shop licenses, of which there'i*e 61, to 40. Some member* oppoid the reduction on the groundthat for every lionised: Iiouse dosed an unlicensed, honse would spring up.,, The mayor puts the numbar.oi unlicensed places at twenty; but one alderman tuid it would not bo difficult to find, a hundred. At th* tnd of the year, some indications of tho result of the experiment may bo found; but it will be nearly impossible to gauge the relative quantity of liquor consumed. The reduction will cut off some, if not many, opportunities of drinking.— Monetary Times. Some papers were recently published showing that the breaking effect of a strain upon iron was enormously increased by the frequency to which it was subjected thereto. It is' a well known fact that a bridge which supported, with the utmost ease, a service of twenty trains a day, will break down in a very short spaoe of time under a service of twenty trains an hour. The principlt is tbat just as bending back and forth a piece of iron wire snaps it in a very short time, so the constant repetition of the bending strains will fracture the heaviest mass of iron, if the strains are frequent enough. An iron oar axle bends less than one eighty- fourth under tha heaviest strain to which it is subjected, and yet, in 1883, one locomotive axle out of fifty broke in running, and one in fifteen was removed for defects, During jtbatrear there were in um in Great Britain 14,848 iron and steel ear axles, and 911 of these required renewal during tht year, Tho life of the main shaft of an ocean steamer is only about four years, yet their strength is far in excess of any strain laid upon them. The result of experience and experiment goes to show that alternating strains of a very moderate amount, if repeated about one hundred million, times, will oause a fracture.—Montreal Witness. With the restoration of Big Bear to liberty tht last of the rebels is pardoned. Big Bear is a vtry old man, and so far from being; dangerous, he-Is now represented as having been a mere instrument in the hands of his desperate son-in-law, Wandering Spirit, who expiated his orime on tho gallows, Poundmaker, in whom there waa not much evil, hu gone.to his account, in the oourse of nature; Big Bear is not likely ever again to allow a young ohief to drag him into trouble. Among Indiana, the young men , art alwaya, for war, and die old often struggle in vain to preserve tht peace. The lessons of the rebellion will not be forgotten, on either slilej the government will be careful, and the Indians and men with mixed Indian blooil will be cautious. It was almost inevitable that wt should have had the half- breed rising of 1855. s Everywhere ln America, the Indian tries to ar rest tht onward march nf the white man, and everywhere he fails. There is no mystery about either the attempt or the failure. The time, comes when the Indian recognizes that there is, nothing left to him but submission to his fate. The story of the- collision between him and tho white man is not creditable to our race;, but many regrettable things were the inevitable result of the contest and could not hare been, prevented.—Monetary Times.

Some person who has not the courage of his convictions, and takes shelter behind a nom de plume, writes te the Victoria Timet from Surrey criticising the Columbian's conduct" towards- Mr. Chisholm. What ever induced tliis persou to addriss rhis' remarks to'a Victoria paper we cannot imagine. He must know that the columns of this journal have always been open to communications either approving or disapproving of its own attitude, and if.be knows Surrey at all he must knew that there is no other paper so extensively road as the Columbian in that municipality. Probably he was ashamed to disclose his identity, as we have insisted upon publishing the names of aU correspondents who undertook to criticise either of the candidates in the present contest. This correspondent, "Elector," attempts to show ihat the Columbian has been guilty of dishonesty and untruthfulness i in. its .-reference .to Mr. Chisholm i in relation to the temperance question and fee Chinese. If we have, stated what - is - untrue or unfair, '%'is;the resuic,of imperfect knowledge, and iwhen: proof of error lea been furnished we shall always be glad to: correct any erroneous • statements. Let us see how far .."Elector1' is able to prove his accusation. We asserted that Mr. Chisholm waa not sound on the Chinese question, for he was largely interested in the employment of Chinese in tlie canning business. "Elector" maintains that this is not fair, because Mr. Chisholm came before Uie Chinese commission and declared against Chineso labor. Well, we were not present at the meeting of the commission when Mr, Chisholm made his statement, and we have searched the printed report of the commission in vain for ib But if he said all that "Elector's" remarkable memory gives him credit for, that does not touch the question at issue, In theory, and in view of gaining public favor Mr. Chisholm may have given utterance to sound doctrine on the Chinese question when it cost him nothing to do so; but the fact remains, as we have stated it, that he was then, and is now, a fcege employer, directly or indirectly, of Chineso labor. It ia hia interest to employ them, and all his publio professions cannot be set against the practice of the very thing he professes to deplore. We have said, and we now repeat, that the employers of Chi- neaa .labor ara the persons above all others who ought to be held respon sibleft* tttt*' Chinese -rffl.' The Ohinamen are nottoblame^ They have a perfect right to come to this country -and-to make money in any legitimate occupation. White men go to China for the purpose of making gain, and Chinamen must not be blamed if they reciprocate whenever they can. But if every person in British Columbia would refuse to employ Ohinamen, the Ohinese problem woultl be very speedily solved. Mr. Chisholm may be no worse than hundreds of others in this respect, but he is nevertheless interested in the employment of Chinese labor, and cannot safely become the representative of those who are opposed to it On tha temperance question Elector has not much to Bay. Be causa tha Columbian was not sure "that jt would be wise at the present time to pass a prohibitory law in thii provinoe," he 'flies to the conclusion that it is inconsistent with itself, That it because Elector probably hit never studied the temper- una question, and does not know what, he is speaking about. If it ba true that the passing of a pro- hibitory law would not be wise in tha preedat state of public opinion in thia province, does it follow that there is therefore no need of temperance agitation and no consistent platform of temperance reform) Surely not; and the question that comes to reformers in this election is, Whioh of the candidates will bast forward tha temperance move msntl. , Mr. Chisholm haa for years been a saloon keeper, and discreetly avoids temperance in his platform. Ha hia alluded to it in some of his speeches, evidently with the. object of endeavoring to secure votes from some irho an in sympathy with temperance reform. But this is surely impossible. As in the cose of Chinaae labor, so in this, Mr. Ohisholm's Interests lie in the other direction, and his practice will weigh ■ gnat deal mora than any profes- •ion! with which he may seek to deoai--atha unwary.

An It Is my Intention to visit aud hold public meetings ln every settlement of the district bofore election day, I Will merely In this address refer to the different subjects that nre vital to onr Interests as a district and province, which will bo discussed at leiipi li on tlie public platform, when I hopo alt aspirants for tlie honor of representing you tn tho Commons will be present and take pnrt In the discussion, of which duo notice will bo given. The following nre somo of the most Important questions that will havo my serious consideration: The Improvement ofthe Navigation of Fraser Kiver.—Tho New Westminster Board of Trade hnvo, with the assistance of our lato ropresontatlvo, beon successful In ol.tf*-nl1nsl,ft,tsma!l appropriation for this pttrpraoV wmeh hns .been expended tbo past fall; and It will bo the duty of your representative insecure such annual grants as will imlncc to complete this lm* fiortant work, whloli will enable ships of ho heaviest draught to unvlgulo the Fraser river at nll stages of the tide, and all seasons of tlio year. Kquallent' flalnis.-Witli reference to this matter thero has been gross neglect on the part of tlio Dominion Governmont, nnd I am of the opinion thnt those settlors who located their land under Instructions from whnt Is known oa Mr. Trutoh's pamphlet, should seciiro tho title thereto freo of cunwc—nmt the fact thnt settlers have been unable to secure W.R.

WOOD AND < ©Al, DU.IVMED TO ANf PAIT tf TUB MTV, We rnn two stages dally,*ioept Sundny**, to Port Moody, carrying H.M.S. limits, Ae no liquor or tobacco li used we ean by temperate habit* and careful economy serve the publio at especially low rates, dwselJOto thoir titles has acted very detrimentally td the interests of the province generally, and (If elected) I will be unceasing In my efforts to secure tho adjustment of every claim in the district. Kailway Somhs—Another very important inntter In connection with our district Is railway connect lon with our neighbors south of the lino. Several charters to connect this city nnd district with the American system of railways have been granted by our local legislature, but wore unfortunately disallowed by the Dominion Government (doubtless through the Influence of the C. P. lt.) The position hitherto hold by tlio Dominion Houso Is nuw untenable, and tho monopoly clause of thc e. I\ it. will have to bo done away with, Should this bo dono thero Is no reason why rallwny construction Bhould not commonco in the near future, as our American cousins ure ready and willing to commence work as soon as tho wny is opon. I need only suy that I shall uso my best endeavors to obtain said railway connection nnd tho abolition of tbe monopoly clause, ■nilway tirlr vnnrcs.- The c. I*. It. havo maintained excessive rates for local traflic In tbis provinco and to poiuts us fur east as Winnipeg, This is uot a* it should be. and Is ono of tho reasons why that great corporation should bo taught tbat It Is not the only power lu tbe Innd. but that It must be mude suiwr-rvlcnt to the Interests of tho people. Telegraphs mill Hallways.—I am of the opinion that nil l.'li'jrriiphs nnd railway* should be owned and operated by tno government In the Interests of tbe peoplo, us Is partially the ease lu England, Germany und t-)sowhcro, nnd shall Hf elected) do nil I enn to bring ubout this very tie* slrublo state of things. The Malls.- I shall uso my best oflbrts to huvo nil settlements tm tho south side of tbo river supplied rogulnrly with their mulls from Limner's Landing by way of tbo Graud Trunk rond toChllllwnnekand any other pluces not already supplied with mall nccoiu modal lon. . The Temvernnre Quell lem—Upon this question I feel very warmly and sympathize most heartily with nil thosewhourc anxious to do nwny wit lithe evils caused hv thc liquor (mfllc nnd shnll (If elected) givo my hearty support to any measures that mny bo introduced to advance Ihis very dosiro bio object. The t'hlnc*r «*eslIon.-Wllh regard to (o thismieHtIon, I consider Hun unmixed evil, yd nt tbo snmo time one of tho hard- problem** that this nation hns to deal Will). I deem It nt villi! Importance that our Lcglslulurcs, lioth Federal nnd Pro* vlueiul, should do their utmost to dlseour* uge tills untile, ami at tlio sntnutltnouse nil legal menus in thoir power to got rid of those Chinameii who are already amongst us, The last quest lon (bat I wish to bring before you Ik tiuu of independence, 1 again rolternto the statement made by myself In the piipeik - "Iii I'aUtics. I sw and will be Ihor- Mlhly liidcprntleat." Several of the II, C. piipers hnvo tnkon tip this statement nnd bavo suld n grent mnny uneompllmentnry things concerning me, such as "being on tbo fence," "a llril In disguise,'-' nnd so forth. I therefore deoin It ueoeSsary to explain wlmt I moan by being thoroughly Independent. I consider any member sent to Ottawa from this Provlmu pledged tosupportany particular party has allowed himself to bu fettered. The greatest evils which threaten tho uso* fulness of tho goveruine:ils of the United States uud (Canada spring from party poll* tics, and In thoUnltmt Htates at the Inst f(residential election u number of tlie test men nf both parties voted Indopend* Milly, and for what they considered the best Interests of Hie country regardless of party. As an ludeuondont I shall endeavor to vote and act (if elected), llrsl, In the Interests of my consuments; secondly, In the Interests of the province, nnd lastly for tho goneral gootl of tbo Dominion, pledging myself nolthor to Grit nor Tory, but claiming the right nin froe born British subject to use my Influence and voto on the sido whore I eonsidor your Interests and the interests of Ihe nation Ilo, I tnke this opportunity of soliciting the vote and Influence of all,and wlillo I shnll feel very much honored If you elect me as yonr representative, I trust that lime will provetbutyour confldonco has not lieen misplaced. I remain, Gentlomen, Yours respectfully, dwf«12te T. -L TRAPP. To the Electors ofthe Electoral District of Kew Westmlniter. GENTLEMEN:—Shortly after tho lamented death bf onr late Representative, Mr. Homer, I was Solicited by a number of my friends, to allow myself to be nominated as a Candidate for the Representation of the District of New Westminster ln the House of Commons of Canada. The personal solicitation of friends, wasihort- ly followed by requisitions io numerously signed, by prominent and lnfluenlnl Eleetors of tbe City and District, that I fell tt to be my duty to place my services at their disposal. Ills not therefore, Gentlemen, as a self-nominated oandidate, that I ask for your support, but I do so In response to the request of over four hundred of your number. To many of yon, Gentlemen, who have known me for a long time, it is unnecessary for me to Bay, that I am perfectly familiar with the great and varied re-' sources of this Province, My knowledge of its Mining, Fishing, Agricultural and Commercial advantages has been derived from actual experience, nnd will (If eleoted) enablo me to plaoe prominently before Parliament, the great resources of this Province, nnd the means necessary to be employed1 to aid In thoir further development, It is Impossible, Gentlemen, ln an address suoh ns this to do more than allude to some of the questions of Interest and Importance to you, which as your representative, I would consider It to be my duty to bring to the notioe of Parliament, I will, however, enumerate a few matters of great Importance to us all, tn regard to whieh tt will be my earnest endeavour tb obtain beneficial legislation, I will endeavour to have removed from the mouth of our noble River, every Impediment to Its free navigation,and nave necessary lighthouses erected,: I will endeavor to secure to settlors and squatters an Immediate title to their .lands. This I consider to be a matter not only of justice, but also of expediency. Heretofore groat Injustice has been done to a valuablo und deserving class of our population* to whon}, had Justice beon done and facilities afforded for acquiring homesteads, the results of their Industry would, ere this, have done much to devel op the agricultural capabilities of this fine district, I am aware, Gentlemen, that the numbor of representatives to whioh eaoh province of tho Dominion is entitled Is based upon population, yet I believe that, owing to exceptional circumstances, such as the fact, that tlii--- province contributes to the revenue of thu Dominion a much larger perceniiige, ucenrdlng to population, than uny of tho other provinces; and also to tliu faot tlint lurge centres of population nre rapidly being formed ln this district- that It is entitled to a larger representation In tho parliament of the Dominion, and which as a matter of Justice 1 will endeavor to obtain. I will also endeavour to obtain for the residents of tbis District botter postal facilities, to wliich they uro justly on- titled. - '..:,*:?■-.$ I will uso iny best effortn to secure equitable rates ou nil railway and tVegraph lines, and to Imve.tho same fixed by law. The interests of llrltlsh Columbia do* maud that every impediment In the way of constructing railways to our Southern boundary and other portions of this dis* trict bo removed to uid In tho development of our resources. I will endeavor to have this accomplished, and also to obtain aid for the construct Ion of cnnals aud tbe improvement of navigable streams. I will ulso consider lt my duty to render nll possible nld to any legislation whioh socks to simplify nntl render loss costly tbe administration of Justice, especially as between Individuals and corporations. My [political platform is, in the first place, the interest of British Columbia, which I believe can be best served by my giving nn Independent support to the present government, which hns not In the past boon unmindful of the Interests of British Columbia, and to whom we nre Indebted for the early completion of the railway, which has brought us Into communication with the Eastern Provinces and Europe, and through tho agency, of which, we will in the nenr future, be placed In direct communication with Australia, China, Japan, and the Grent Eastern Empire, which must prove to bo of Incalculable valuo to this province, and to this district In particular. In conclusion, gentlemen, I havo only to say. thnt I um prompted by a sincere desire to benefit this district and to aid ln promoting Its varied Interests, and I ask your support only upon these grounds. It is iny intention to see as many of you previous to tbo election tut time and circumstances will admit of ln tbe meantime. I remain. Gentlemen, Vours very truly, dwfeSUl DONALD CHISHOLM.

How They Stand.—Reports from the east are still very conflicting and f*. ia iinpossiblo ta determine accurately how the parties stand; lt will be seen from a telegram that Sir John claims a majority of 27. This conflicts with the summaries received from other sources, and Sir John has evidently counted the Quebec bolters na supporters of hi, government. Of these there ore about 10, whioh makes a difference of 20 on a division. -_—-^-» . , , Custom Facts.—Britiah Columbia, in custom! duties, contributes a larger per capita sum to the Dominion treasury than any other province in tlie Dominion.

An Immense Ranch.— Sir John Lister Kaye and a powerful syndicate of English capitaliats have decided to organise a powerful ranching oompany in the Northwest, the capital stock of suoh company to be over $0,500,000. The ayndicate intend working 10 farms of 10,000 acres eaoh, and will give employment to thousands of persona. It is proposed that the stock on each farm will include 300 draught mares, 10 Clydesdale stallions, and 10 thoroughbred inarea for stock purposes. Of the total number of 300 inarea, a considerable proportion will be light draught. These Utter will be bred to imported thoroughbred stallions with the object of producing hunters, cavalry remounts and hacks. Each farm will also be stocked with 300 heifers, i The herd will be supplemented by ten polled Angus bulla, ten polled Angus heifers for slock purpose., 1,000 sheep with pure Wed Ota-Bit rami and ewes, 1,000 plgi with thoroughbred stock. Kaye ha. already completed arrangements for thej-urchase of 70,- OOg head of cattle. Each department will be under the direction of English experts, Building operation! on all the farm! will be commenced the firat week in April. The plana have bean prepared already, and. many of the proposed structure, devoted to the feeding and fattening of stook will cost large amounts. Sir John Tiller- Kaye, who goes back to England now, will return to Canada early in March with a email army of employes,tenants and others, drawn principally from his own estate in Yorkshire. Thursday Fob. 24. Mr, Thompson introduced his motion relative to the extension of the Nanaimo railway to the north end of Vancouver Island. Mr. Higgins supported scheme; pointing out that auch a nilway would greatly fucititate trade between Victoria and Alaska and other points on the coaat. The length ef tlie line, he aaid, would ba 175 milea, and the cost $5,000,000. From the north end of Vonoouver Island to Queen Chartette Island waa 125 miles, and to the most northern harbour on these islands was 240 miles. This route would pass through a region rich in mineral! and timber, and tho waters abounded in fish. Mr. Stenhouse alao supported the project, pointing ont ite importance from a military point of view. Hon. Mr. Robson said tlie scheme was important both as a federal and as a provincial work, aud he thought the imperial government could scarcely fail to recognise its military advantages. Col. Baker agreed aa to the advisability of the work, and added that national aid might also be asked with perfect propriety for railways which developed the mainland. After some remarks by Mr. Croft, Mr. Beaven spoke in favor of the road, and in the course of his remarks referred to the surrender of territory that hod been mode for the island railway. In reply Mr. Dunsmuir said if Mr. Beaven wanted the "great give away" he oould have it, one half for fifty cents per acre, and the other half at one dollar per acre. He could also have the railway for what it cost. There need be uo fear of an injunction being placed on a railway going through the island railway landa. He would only be too glad to give the right of way free. If there waa nny give away about the island railway it was to the country. After several other members had spoken the resolution passed. Hon. Jno. Robson introduced a bill to amend the school act. In reply to Mr. Bole it waa stated that the government did not intend to introduce legislation to cancel the grant of land to the syndicate trustees at Coal Harbor; that it is not the intention of the government to make an appropriation for a new court houso at New Westminster; that the question of repairing roads from Nuw Westminster to Vancouver and Fort Moody would be duly considered; and tliat the government had under consideration the question of abolishing imprisonment for debt. In reply to Mr. Semlin, the attorney • goneral stated that during the 18 months ending 31st December 1880, the government had received $8,432.00 for timber leases, nnd $800.94 for licenses and dues. Hon. Mr. Robson gave notice that on Monday he would ask leave to introduce an act to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors and the issue of licenses therefor. Col. Baker gave notice, of a motion asking federal aid to a railway from' the C.P. R. at Golden City to a point at or near Joaeph'a Prairie. Mr. Orr gave notice that he would ask whether any steps had been taken since January 25th te enforce payment of the O.P.R.. bond for $250,000. laat night.

London, Feb. 10.--Tho public celebration of the Jubilee will involvo a considerable outlay, for whieh a parliamentary grant will bo necessary. Tho coronation of the Queen cost abuut $200,000, as against $250,000 for that of King William IV., and $1,200,000 for that of King George IV.. Initially respects the coronation forms a precedent for the jubilee;' There is to be a speoial meeting of tlio Privy Counoil next month either at Windsor Castle or Buckingham Palace, when the proposed arrangements and estimates will be submitted. To this council will be summoned the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the cabinet, the grout oflicers of the royal household, thu Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Bishop uf London, Mr. Gladstone, Lord Hartington, Lord Granville and Lord Sydney.

(trance question uid to jiijfiUufO0**t«tilut International Relations. ERASTUS WIMAN OH U.S. RETrUIATIOH. At a dinner given to tho retiring president of the Toronto Board of Trado lately, Erastus Wiman, of Now York, a Canadian who is known as ono of New York's most successful men, spoko on our international relations as follows: He said that nevor in the history of the present generation were tho relations betwoen the United States nnd Canada so strained as they just now threaten to be. The irritation in tho public mind in the United States was extreme, judging by tlie action of tlie United States senate on the question of tho fisheries and by the expressions of tho heads of the various departments of the government. It was therefore most gratifying to henr that tlie British Minister at Washington held out hopes that by negotiation questions in dispute wore likely to' be adjusted, and that, too, before tho closo of congress. Tho consequences of: a breach of international relation, it was needless to say, would be most disastrous, and while nothing was more to be deplored than a disturbance of these relations, still it was a logical impossibility that Canada Bhould recede from the position she had occupied without a good and sufficient . consideration. The interview reported in the morning papera with the British minister implied that this consideration was afforded by some reciprocal advantages to Canada, which it was greatly to bo hoped was tho case. It was almost too good news to be true, for it was doubtful whethor the senate, with whom rested the treaty confirming power, would in i*.- present mood assent to any great liberality toward Canada. Somehow or other able and sincere statesmen like Senator Frye, of Maine, and Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, and sechetahies bayard and manning, had conceived thnt Canada had no rights in her fisheries which the United States were bound to respect. Strange it was that though the United States ucknowled these rights in the treaty of 1818, and by subsequent conventions and arrangements had confirmed them, even going to the extent of putting a material valuation on them, now at tliia late date, it waB proposed to entirely ignore their valued privileges. It seemed therefore proper that the extent and value of tho Canadian pro prietory rights in her coasts should be better understood; for to Canadians these rights nnd privileges, were as distinct a national property as were the prairies of Illinois or the forests of Maine. As between Canada and the United States there was of course no comparison as to the injury to be suffered from. ACTS OF RETALIATION, or from non-intercourse. The injury to Canada might be tenfold greater than that suffered across the border. Western grain grower, and food producers had really got more good from English expenditure in Canadian railways, and from Canadian taxation for canals,than had Canadians themselves. It would not be surprising to find the faoility afforded, and the amount annually saved the farmers of th. weat by the Canadian road, and canals, was as groat, if not greater than that which waa supposed to be lost by fishermen in the eaat by the enforcement of tho Canadian contention. But aside from the inconvenience to the U. S. from the loss of the CANADIAN MEANS OP COMMUNICATION from the west to the east, there would follow fronr the shutting out of Canadian lumber most serious consequences to the U. 8, from tho stoppage of. building homes, while the exclusion of barley, two-thirds of whicli onme from Canada, would bo enrage the German, in the losa or advance in price of hia lager beer, thut there would be danger that the Gloucester fishermen fnr whom all the sacrifice is to be made would be driven into thu' sea. It is most true that the markets of the United States aro of the utmost importance to Canada, but those of Great Britain aw of far greater importance tothe United States. While the U. S. absorbs only ten shillings per head of English goods, she exports to England ten dollars per head of American products. It is true it would be a vast hardahip tc England to ahut out these products, but hot nearly auoh a hardship as it would have been years ago, Tho development of her CHEAT INDIAN EMPIRE makes her independent in the mat tar of breadstuff's, and largely ao of cotton. True she would suffer, but she would suffer nobly for the sake of her offspring on this side of tho ssa, Theie seem idlo words, wore it not for the fact that at the present moment bills are before congress to make them possible. It is hoped, however, that aome more reasonable and some more enlightened plan will be discovered to settle the complications between the two nations. Long contact with the merchants and publio men of the United States, Mr. Wiman .laid, convinced him of their fair-miudedneas and perfect willingness to pay for what they wanted. If they can be convinced that what they needed in the shape of fishing privileges was not their own and oould be had for reasonable concessions, there would be no difficulty in adjusting the difficulties now impending. Mr. Wiman closed by thanking his audience for their kind reception of him, and with a ulowinp tribute to Canada as his native land, its progress, and ita promise, returned his seat amid ringing cheers, Absolutely Pure.

In -W«.Uagton 11c- .crlbed by on Eye-TffltnMe, "Don't see, 'em on thai corner now days. Looks sort ot lonesome," aaid n big policeman, aa heetood on the comer near tho Washington circle, " What is it?' asked a Star reporter. "Why, UMgang,!'ho replied. "Tlito nsed to bo tho worst place in the world, right off thero a litfio bit," he added, pointing down toward the rirer. "Down that way's Foggy Bottom, and the fellowB Irom down that way nsed to gather on the comers and loaf nt nights, There wail men and boys and follows of All ages and manners, who didn't havo nothing to'do after dark but to loaf and concoct misohiof and make work forthe police. 'Twas a bad sort of place, bat yon im nowthoy ain't there. "Well, that'aMr. Baker,,, Bo done it—he and aome othergeutlomett, navy men and men connected with tho ob- ■erratory down there. Ton know lb. Barker; he's the pastor of St. Paul's Church. That club's dono it." Following the offlcer'a direction, llic reporter found hiaway up a ahortflii;ht of stairs to a big room in the second story of the building. The room was brilliantly lighted, There was a pool table in the middleof the room, and n lot of small tables, covered with paper* and periodicals, were Blending around. Thirty or forty youths and men weru assembled playing pool, reading at tlio tables, playing checkers or chess, or in some other way amusing themselves according to their wont, Theyweremostlyof that class of mon Who aro thrown upon their own m- sources early in life, and havo to innko the best living they ean in the best way they know how; men or youths, as Hfo case may be, whose wort is generally over at sundown, and who ate in the habifeof going on the streets for thoir evening entertainment Some of them were newsboys, some messengers, and others were men of various humblo employments. , In a room in the story abovo wero probably sixty or seventy-Are boys not yet old enough to be classed with the men below, their ages running Irom 13 to 18. Tho reporter found the Bev. Mr. Barker, who explained the purpose of the olub. , It is, he says, ib take men and boys off the streets and give them a place where they may find harmless aud helpful amusement of evenings, The idea is that the want of something to do and some good place to spend cronings has led manjr young men and boys astray, and the olub is to prevent loafing on the streets. It was., organized Kor. 8 by some gentlemen residing near Washington circle, most of themsmembers of Ht. Paul's Church, but there is no religious feature to tho olub. It was opened as a free olub on the Uth of November, with'twenty-two members. They had then rented a house on Twenty-fifth street, but the memborshi*) Jumped up to forty at once, and it became necessary to get more roomy quartern, bo oa the SOth of November they moved into their present rooms. The rooms were fitted up, the upper Mies for tho boys and the lower ovum i'v the men, and wero thrown open. t > I i members of the club every ovoui.-j (rom 7 o'clock until 10. Tho boys' room was iurnishod wil'i v. bagatelle table and all sorts of galmv, and the men's with a pool table, such games as, chess and checkers, and a great variety of reading matter. The olub is not intended to be sap- ported by the members, but by sub,. soription l»y the publio, bnMo take: from it something of tho airot charity I and give each member some sort of standing,, cardsaro issued and a mem- bership fee often cents a month for mon and. three . oents for, toys is oharged, Of coarse, this is only a nominal fee and wouM go.only awry, little, way toward the support of the olub, not being enough to pay tbe gas bill. . Tho membership haanow increased to 86 men and 183 boys, and there is no more loafing on oomers in this neighborhood. Once or twice a month ui- tertainments are given, tb which Iho members of the club lire admitted : free. In a few days they expect to serve hot coffee and crackers in the rooms at. the nominal price of one cent per onp. Tha interest takes in the clnb by those it is intended to benefit is very ,. great..
