Dtvie presented a report from the railway committee recommending the Kootenny tnd Athabaska. tnd Delta railways. Mr. Orr introduced a bill to amend the Vancouver incorporation act.—Mr. Ladner complained that the return, sent down relating to Campbell Rirer bridge were incomplete. Hon, Mr. Robson aaid the letter nf erred to by Mr. Ladner v/sxi not an official letter. Mr. Orr made another motion, about Granville crown grants.—On motion of Mr. Ladner a committee consisting of Messrs.. Semlin, Orr, Higgins, Thompson, and Ladner, was appointed to draw up aiid sub-' mit to the house whatever amendments may be thought necessary to the municipal act of 1881.—-Mr. Beaven moved the second reading of a bill to amend the companies act so as to prevent the incorporation of Chinese companies or the employment of Ohinese by any incorporated company. The mover said his principal object was to pre vent the employment of Chinese ih quartz mining. Mr. Dunsmuir said this bill was put forward merely for election purposes, and ht moved the six months hoist: The motion was seconded by Mr, Mason, who said it would operate disastrously in the distriot of Cariboo. Mr. Turner said Chino-men were better suited for reduction works than white men. Hon. Mr, Davie said the bill was unconstitutional. He suggested that Mr. Beaven had better go t step further and exclude Ohinamen from all labor. Mr. Orr said that an anti-Ohinese wave passed over the house last session, but this session a pro-Chinese wave wat going over it. Ool.. Baker said this bill would be in the nature of persecution of the Ohinese. A large amount of mining wat done liy these people in the province, and they added to the revenue by contributing to tbe taxes and increased trade, Mr, Duns muir said that every time the leader of the opposition opened hit mouth he put his foot in it. If we refuted to incorporate companies here without this restriction, they would go to Ottawa or elsewhere for incorporation and come here to do business. Mr. Cowan taid the bill would afford great protection to white laborers, and he wonld give it hit support. Mr, Higgins thought there were several unconstitutional clauses in the bill, but he would vote for the second reading on the understanding that it would undergo a thorough change in oommittee. Hon. Mr. Robson said the bill was altogether too sweeping and might seriously affect the canneries and other industries that might spring up, Mr. Orr said if this bill got the six months hoist he would move a resolution to repeal all clauses in private bills prohibiting the employment of Ohinese. The six months hoist was oarried on a division of U to 9, at follows: Ayes, Messrs. Robson, Croft, Thompson, Dunsmuir, Davie, Allen, Vernon, Turner, Prior, Baker, T. Davie, Mason, Ladner, Anderson; Noes, Messrs. Higgins, Martin, Beaven, Orr, McLeese, Cowan, Stenhouse, Grant, Semlin.—-Mr. Higgins gave notice of motion for an address to the fed eral government asking that a clause be inserted in the contract with the transpacific steamship line requiring the vessels to call at Victoria or Esquimalt on both the outward and inward trip. Mr. Allen gave notice of a committee to examine the new gaol, with power to otll for persons and papers. Hon. Mr. Smithe gave notice that he would move for a oommittee to prepare a jubilee address to the queen.. Mr. Ladner gave notice of a clause securing to the wife a third interest in all real property owned by her husband. Mr. Thompson gave notice of a resolution declaring the expediency of establishing a weekly mail between Nanaimo and Alberni. Mr. McLeese gave notice of a motion to appoint a committee to take evidence and re port upon the railway charges in this province. Th. Great French Kenedy, Dr. Le- Duo'. Periodical Fill-.

Give It a trial and you will tot lira ?i tu 1 *',: iitilij British Gotambian NATHANIEL DYSON. tatarday Evening, March S, Provincial KIrMs. In reply to an enquiry Hon. Wm. Macdougall has written a letter which lately appeared in the Winnipeg Sun, giving hia opinion on the subject of the federal ri^ht to disallow provinoial railway charters. The question proposed was this: "Has the province of Manitoba a right to build a railway to conneot ut the boundary with another road or with an extension of the same road!" As the position of Manitoba in this respect is similar to that of British Columbia, and we ore at the present moment interested in the construction of a railway to the national boundary, tho opinion of Mr. Macdougall will bo of interest hem He quotes sub sec. 10 of sec. 92 of the British North America Act, which provides that "lines of steam or other ships, railways, canals, telegraphs, and other works and undertakings connecting the provinco with any other or others of the provinces, or extending beyond the limits of the province," are exempted from the powers of the provinoial legislature. If the projected road proposes to do any of the things mentioned in the above exemptions, it must obtain federal sanction before it oan be lawfully constructed. But Mr. Macdougall thinks that an exchange of traffic at the boundary would not be held by the courts to be an extension of the line beyond the provincial limits. Mr. Moc- dougall concludes by saying: "The Dominion parliament has, in more than one case, exceeded its powers by building within n province local works which section 92 assigns to the province exclusively. But as the cost of tliese unconstitutional structures is in each case shared by six other provinces, I havo not yet heard of any protest by the invaded province against this encroachment upon provincial rights," After tbe Battle. At tho present writing the election returns for the district are quite incomplete, but there is no doubt that Mr. Ohisholm has been elected by a large majority. This will be a cause of regret to all who opposed hiin on principle, because the verdict of the district does not remove any of the grounds upon which their opposition rested. The contest from the beginning was not hopeful. For many months Mr. Chisholm and his friends have been at work constantly in his interest obtaining pledges of support from the eleotors. While they were thus employed it was not known definitely who would be his opponent, as there were a number in the field. The convention nominated Mr. McGillivray; but if Mr. Trapp had come into the convention it is generally believed the nomination would liave fallen oh hi.,,. Mr. Mc Gillivray and Mr. Trapp remained in the field as opponents of Mr. Ohisholm until the day of nomination, and until that time successful canvassing was out of the question. From the day of nomination until polling day Mr. Trapp was addressing the electors throughout the district, but had no time to do more than pay a flying visit to each settlement. Over all this ground Mr. Chisholm or his friends had been long ago with requisitions and solicitations. The roads were bad, and' the meetings were, consequently, attended by comparatively few; and it may be said with truth that not one fourth of the eleotors henrd Mr. Trapp speak or express his views on public questions. The result of nil this is that Mr. Ohisholm's friends polled the votes, and those who were not his friends, but knew not Mr. Trapp, stayed at home. This is evident from the smallness of tho vote. At Matsqui there are 41 names on the Dominion voters' list, of whioh only 11 were polled, and only one of these for Mr. Trapp. At Delta there aro 126 voters, but only 66 were polled; at Vancouver 169 votes, and 80 polled; at Moodyville 111 votes, and 41 polled; at Maple Ridge 117 votes, and 49 polled; at Surrey 101 votes, and 47 polled, at Fort Moody 110 votes, and 40 polled, at Chilliwhack 183 votes, and only 82 polled; at the Mission 58 votes, and 22 polled; in thit oity 381) votes, and 256 polled. This shows a total of 1,421 votes, of whioh only 714, or ono half, were recorded. Langley and Sumas are yet to be heard from. As tha voters' lists were newly prepared last summer, it is fair to presume that they contained very few names of persons who might not have voted if they bad wished to do to. Foiling day was very stormy, and roads in the country were doubt- leu in a bad state, but we are afraid many voters stayed at home without tuffioient excuse. Mr. Ohisholm it well known through the distriot, and hat many friends; and although wo mutt say frankly that we regret hit election for reasons already given, tha will of the majority must prevail.

If you go, thoro is a nameless atmosphere ot woulth about you; no one would over boliove I was poor, You must go to Batntoga as usual, and if I get tired of rusticating I'll Join you." " Well, I suppose you must havo your own way, as usual," said Mrs. Maloom reluctantly. " Of courso I must—decidedly.

"Ideolare—soltlsl Well, Daisy, go and asked her In; I can't quit the Ire till tho bread's out" Half shyly, half gladly, Daisy obeyed. Bho wanted to seo the new boarder, and still she felt timid. Miss Austin, tho lady who had spent tho previous summer with them, had highly recommended Miss Maloom—a nice quiet girl, who wished to study, and enjoy the advantages of trash air, nsw milk, and berries, Agnes Austin had smiled to henelf as she wrots tho lotter, thinking how soon the bells would tire of the farmhouse. Tea In tho kitchen was a new experience to Lela. Bhe watohed the amount of horns-nude new bread and toa that so rapidly disappeared, with astonishment. She drank fresh creamy milk, nto fresh stnwberrloe, and admired ths rod lush that oame ud wsnt so npidly on Daisy's round chooks. Bhe retired early, and rose next morning when she hoard the first stir in the house. On consulting hor watch, she was surprised to find tho hour was five, " Doai me, what shall I-do till breakfast time?" she said to herself. "I'll take a book out and sit down beside a pile of hay."

Commenting on this extract the Montreal IVitntss, also independent of party, snys: "Unless everybody is mistaken, Sir John is in the tightest placo he has yet been in, which is snyingagood denl; and he will, doubtless, spend nll he can spend with as freo a hand ns ovor, nnd thus, by taking ndvnntage of tho weakness of tho democracy, ho will resort to even desperate means to maintain him ■elf in power." A Giant Cedak.—About six miles from Oakville, Chehalis Co., Washington Territory, may bo seon the burnt remains of a colossal cedar tree. It is simply a hollow shell, about 50 feot in height, measuring 87 feet in circumference ono foot from the ground. At the height of 2A feet it measures 73 feet, nnd ut tt foot it is 54 feet 8 ins. The cavity in tho inside is also of great proportions, ranging from 23 feet in diameter at the height of 2J feet to 13 feet at an nltitude of 11 fact. This is the largest cedar ' tree. in- the world whose dimensions have been recorded, and stands liko a lonely and deserted monument of the past, aa there are no indications to be found of any other trees of such gigantic proportions evor having existed in the vioinity. Only, three or four of the .giant sequoias of California exceed it in size, while very fow of thom equal It—West Shore. Accident on the 0. P. ft.

Shipwrecked gallon. Tha str. Sir James Douglaa. returned to Victoria on Thursday evening with the captain and crew of the str. Thos. R, Foster, which was wrecked on the 18th Deo. on the Northwest coast of Vancouver Island. Capt. Rugg, of the Foster, reports having left Departure Bay last December. For some dayB all went well, then terribly rough weather was experienced, the ua running mountains high. The bark springing a leak, it was decided to put baok. After beating about for four or five days the vessel was driven ashore at Hesquoit. All the crew, 18 in number, succeeded in reaching land and encamped on the beach, where they remained for 22 days, until sent for by Rev. Father Nicholaye, who had heard of the wreck. When rescued by the rev. father the men were nearly starved. They were kindly eared for by the good priest, who placed all he had at the disposal of the shipwrecked men. They remained with him until the arrival of the Douglas. —: «_> .„———— A Sweeping Verdict. After a careful investigation by a coroner's jury into the circumstances of the terrible railway accident which took place on the Baltimore and Ohio Railway on the 4tKof- January; a verdict ha. beeu found by the coroner. The namea of the meu killed are mentioned, and the report of the coroner goes on as follows: He alao finds that freight engine No. 023 was in an unsafe and unserviceable condition, and that the officials of the road had been notified of this fact, but still allowed it to be used. The engineer of tho freight train, Edward 8. "Kiler, was uot intoxicated, a. charged, but waB worn out with sixteen hours and fifty minutes continuous duty with a green fireman and a poor engine. He had plenty of time to get from Republio to Seneca Siding, 38 minutes—ten miles —but hia engine wu so poor and leaked so that it died nn the track at the point of the collision. The conductor of the freight, L. E. Fletoher, failed in his duty in not flagging the limited express, for he knew that the engine had died ten minutes before the express wu due, The brakes on the expreu were inferior and ineffective, for thoy failed to diminish a speed of 43 miles an hour more than one-half in a distance of 1,000 feet, The manner of heating and lighting the ears of tha expreu train was inferior, unsafe and dangerous, and oontrary to the laws ol the slate ol Ohio, Had the lighting and heating been proper the cars would not have been burned and the loss of life would havo been very light. He therefore finds lhat the above peraons came to their death through grots negligence on Ihe part of the official, and managers of the Chicago division of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad of Garret, Ind., and through the hou negligence of Conductor L. F, Fletcher in failing tn signal the express train, and through gross negligence on the pert of the owners, managers and officials of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway company for using on nid expreu train inferior and ineffective brakes; also for using an improper, dangerous and unlawful manner of lighting and heating the cars of said express. It would seem that auch negligence as resulted in such a greet loss of life could not be other than criminal, but there arc- no laws in Ohio making such negligence a crime, and no laws under which such persons can I be chnrged with crime. Au English sportsman, while partridge shooting, hnd his left hnd badly shattered through tho bursting of his gun, On arrival the doctor exclaimed: ' "Well; you have made a mess of it. I must amputate itl" Tho patient readily submitted to tho operation without chloroform, nnd on the doctor leaving the room with tho sevored hand, he was astonished at the unfortunate calling after him:' "Doctor, I forgot to say how proud I always was of that little finger, so please save it for me for a tobacco stopper!"

It has neon found to hb so well adapted for statuary and monuments, tlmt companies have been for some time established at Bridgeport, Conn., Detroit, Mich., Des Moines, lo-vrt, and Ht. Thomu, Canada, who are making monuments of all kinds and styles. From experiments made by these companies, it hu bean fouud that the material will stand exposure for an Indefinite period—it is practically indestructible. White Bronse being non- corrosive and unchangeable, it is stated to be equal to gold, silver or platinum, and superior to copper or antique bronze, which throws olf a verdigris. The menu* ments are cut from refined zinc, and are given their sparkling appearance by the Band blut, und being blown against the work under a high, pressure of steam, which outs the surface, but doea not adhere to it. A thin film of oxide which forms on thu, bronze is indistructlble by the element*; it cannot be dissolved by water, and air cannot penetrate it, although the film is so thin as to be immeasurable. No corrosion, it is affirmed, can take place —Boston Journal of Commerce. Chas. .1. Robson, New Westminster, is agent for the White Bronze Monuments in British Columbia.
