THE NEWS. Farther Details or the Hawaiian Muddle. The Saltan 81111 Kefu.es lo Sign.— Boiler Explosion. Col. lory on Flrc.-Hallclous Reports About tbe Mexicans. OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST. A 0OII.KU IMPLOSION. Redwooii City, July 12.—At an early hour this morning the residents here were awakened by a loud report that shook the ground and rattled the windows. The boiler of the threshing engine belonging to Alexander Gordon, of this place, had blown up on his farm, a short distance from town, instantly killing Mr. Carr, onginoer, and fatally injuring Louis Solicito, the foreman. Carr was standing at his post and hud just started the engine for the day's work when the explosion took place. He was blown to pieces and all portions of his remains have not been found. Solicita was considerably inrthor away from tho engine, but he .is frightfully mangled and death is. thought to be but a matter of a few hours. Another account from San Jose says that Louis Solicita, foreman, was killed and Ed. Carr, engineer, and the nephew of Jesse D. Carr was fatally injured. OllAKGEMEN IN LINE. Toronto, July 12.—The Orange demonstration to-day was a great success. There were 53 lodges and between 3000 and 4000 men in the procession. A COLLIERY ON FIRE. Pottsville, Pa., July 12.—One of tho best collieries of tho Philadelphia and Reading Co. is on fire and probably doomed to destruction, entailing a loss approximating $100,- 000. Three hundred men and boys will probably be thrown out of employment. ON HER WAY HOME. New York, July 12.—Queen Kapaloni kept in her hotel to-day and rested previous to going on the journey to San Francisco. This evening the queen and party will leave on the six p.m. train and it is not intended to make any break on the journey between points. DILLON ON THE LAND BILL. London, July 12.—Dillon resumed the debate on the land bill in the commons to-night. He said he rejected the measure with contempt us utterly inadequate to meet the needs of Irish tenantry. Attacking the clauses of tho bill seriatim, Dillon declared the first, dealing with the ease of lease-holders, the only one which promised to be beneficial iu its operation. The others would make evictions easy and destroy the confidence of the tenantry in the land court. MALICIOUS REPORTS AIIOUT IB MEXICANS. El Paso, Texas, July 12.—A package of circulars was received here yesterday morning intended to stir up a feeling against Mexicans. Tho circulars began: "Official Bulletin No. 1, head-quarters America and Northern Mexican A. it D. Co., New York city, July 1st, 1887." Under this announcement, which appears in glaring type is the following: "Americans, head and act. '•The latest Mexican outrage is ou an American, his wifo and daughter, who havo just returned from a Mexican dungeon, a small peat- black hole at Paso Del Norto, Mexico." Then follows a telegram from Wioheta, June 28th, stating that A. Bird, of Now York city, manager of nn opera troupe, has been thrown into jail at Paso Del Norte and confined for a long time. Four of the company are dying with small-pox. * Tho bulletin closes with this language: "Tho above associated press tolcgram was published in the daily press on Wednesday, Juno 29, but olosely followed by n special telegram from Washington with consoling information that tho state department poop-poohed at this last reported Mexican outrage. Sinco the advent of the present Democratio administration a half hundred cases of falso imprisonment and murder of American citizens in somi barbaric Moxico, accompanied by the sworn statements of many witnesses, have been officially reported to the state department at Washington, and up to this moment no reparation, no satisfaction whatever has been demanded of Moxico by our government. It is now time for all true Americans to rise in their might uud oall 'Halt' to the greaser of Mexico and again administer the lesson of 1884 and '86 and let it be a lesson that will never have its scar effaced nor its ofucaoy questioned. (Signed) "RY ORDER OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE." When tho Wicheta dispatch was first published tho mayor of the province of Paso Del Norto and Consul Brigham were interviewed and both pronounced the Bird story a malicious lie. The grain of truth in this falsehood is this: Last January a company of young men from the city of Mexico calling themselves "Spanish students" arrived at Paso Del Norte after a tour through Moxico. They were under contract to play at Paso Del Norte. On the -'"'ling set for tho performance an audi ii.,., ... ».«, - some disagreement in payment the "students" refused to sing and, according to Mexican statute were thrown into jail. A member of the company named Suarco, who is now employed in a store in Paso Del Norte, was interviewed to-day and said: "We were in jail abont an hour when all were liberated on bail, wealthy Spaniards going on our bonds. The troupe consisted of nine Spaniards and five Mexicans, but no Americans. Two days after our imprisonment the entire troupe performed in El Paso and later at Paso Del Norte, where the company broke up. Six of the Spaniards are going to California and from there to Deuvor. The remainder of tho company, except myself, went back to tho Oity of Mexico. No one by the name of Bird was connected with the company and it is supposed that Cutting is liooding the frontier with these bulletins, calculating to arouse the animosity of the citizens of El Paso and Paso Del Norte." PREPARING FOR THE SECOND READINO. London, July 12.—The division on the second reading of the land bill will take place in the li'.uso of commons on The government hns secured a mechanical majority of the Conservatives which promises important amendments. They say that the bankruptcy clauses will bo abandoned in committee, and that an amendment will be introduced giving the court of judges power to receive judicial rents nnd they claim that these alterations in the bill will modify the opposition of the Parnellite members to the measure. FROM Tne FAR EAST. London, July 12.—Cholera has broken out in Gardinia.. A dispatch from Candia, Crete, says the Christian deputies hnve withdrawn the anti-tax manifesto and appealed to the Sultan for redress. It is cxpectod the settlement of the trouble in Crete ran now be reached, THE DUBLIN ELECTION. Dublin, Jnly 12- The election for a Beat for the Dublin university, made vacant bv the elevation of Attorney- General Holmes to the Irish bench, took place to-day. Two candidate, stood, Madden aud Hon. Richard Cledeharsuns, both Conservatives. Madden was elected, recetving#137o votes against 710 for his opponent. THE NEW HULOARIAN CABINET. TuiNovA. July 12.—A new cabinet for Bulgsaria has been formed. Mr. Stocleff, president of the council, and A. D. Interim, minister of finance; M. Ettchevis, minister of foreign affairs; M. Tnchomakoff, minister of public instruction; M. Strausky, minister of the interior; Major Petroff, ministor ef war. M. Stocloff has telegraphed to the prefects of the departments ordering them to release political prisoners. HONOLULU INTELLIGENCE. Sax Fkancisco, July 13.-Tho steamship Australia arrived here this morning from Honolulu, sailing from that point at noon of July 5th and bringing Hawaiian intelligence down to that time. No further outbreaks or demonstrations of any character occurred after tliOBe described us having taken place on Friday and Saturday, Juno 30th and July 1st, which resulted in the overturning of tho Gibson ministry and tho written plcdgo from King Kukolun to promote constitutional reforms and submit to tho will of the people Tho military continues to remain on duty hut no further public assemblages havo been hsld'. The now ministry has assumed control and thu now constitution wns to be laid before the king ns tho steamship sailed. Ex-premier Gibson and his son-in-law, F. H. Selden, who ivore arrested on Juno 30, wero hold in jail until Saturday night, July 2nd, when, owing to tho years of Gibson, ho was taken to his homo by order of the now attorney-general, where ho remains under military guard. His trial wns set for July tith. Cyprian Cobb, secretary to tho ux-niinister of foroigu affairs, who wns also arrested was released on bail. The excitement in the kingdom hns appiirently so thoroughly subsided thnt on Monday, July 4th, tho celebration in honor of Amorica'B natal day occurred at Honolulu, lt was attended by fully tivo thousand peoplo. Patriotic addresses woro mndo by Honorable G. W. Murroll, American minister, and Honorable George E. Whitney, of California. The national snluto wns fired from the stone battery. During tho afternoon tho American minister held a reception which was attondod by King Kalakaua and members of his staff and a ball was given at night at the Music Hall which was attended by tho naval officers of the U.S. and representatives of the foreign embassies, together with a largo roprosontation of citizens of Honolulu. Honolulu papers in commenting upon the change of administration predict that no further publio outbreaks are expected, provided a new constitution is adopted and reforms inaugurated. The Hawaiian ()a:rtte in an editorial says: "The word of the king cannot be taken.by his people. It has been proved again and again that it is not worth the paper it iB written on. In fact we remember circumstances so well i .that we are not going to bo deceived again." In reviewing tho occurrence at Honolulu, which resulted in Uie collapse of the ministry and the arrest of the chief advisers of Kalakaua for alleged malfeasance of money and other crimes, it appears that the king was inclined to mako a stand against the populace, but wus quickly disabused of the idea that he could make a successful light. Whon the steamship Australia arrived from Sau Francisco with nearly ten thousand stand of arms the JJMUJjMt ing was called which sent the ultimatum to the king. All approaches to the palace were barricaded and the Gatling guns had been placed in the palace, together with a considerable quantity of fire-arm., but when it became known that the populace really meant to light, the retainers of the king began quickly to disappear and he had no alternative but to make a sudden resolve to concede everything, aud even then appeared to fear his life was in danger, which caused him to ask the American and other foreign government representatives toasssume the control of affairs temporarily. On Saturday night, July 1st, peace having been thoroughly restored, the citizens' committee posted a proclamation declaring that the Honolulu rifles could maintain order and requesting citizens uot to appear on the streets armed until further orther orders. The new ministry, it is declared, has already discovered that all public funds have been exhausted. The daily Bulletin declares that in addition to the regular revenue all Postal savings bank deposits have disappeared and that it waa owing to this fact that the king feared personal violence. THE SULTAN STILL KICKS. Constantinople, July 13. — Tha sultan still persists in his refusal to sign the convention with England in reference to Egypt in ita present, notwithstanding ho is urgently advised to ratify it both by Germany and Italy. FRENCH HATE. Paris, July 13..-German residents have beon ordered to remain in-doors to-morrow, as it i. feared that they would be attacked if they appeared on the streets during the celebration of the anniversary of the fall of Bastilo. The patriotic league have announced ■ that they will make a demonstration to-morrow morning in tho Place de La Concorde and another in the Boise de Boulogne in the afternoon. It ia feared that these meetings will give rise to disorder, and the police and military authorities are making preparations to maintain peace. i Col. Snort Discouraged. Not long since Ool, Snort, who wu reading a New York paper, somewhat astonished Johnny Fizzletep,his yoang assistant, by throwing down the paper and bursting into a Oood of tears. " Why, Ool. Snort, what is the matter?" "Johnny," replied the Colonel, dashing aside a manly tear, "you know how hard I've tried to build up tho Crosby County Clarion and Farmers' FiWmifor and make it a power in the land ?" " Yes," replied John, " if tha paper is not what it should be it's not your fault. You have tried to make it interesting. Why, in lut week's iuue you said that the Houston Toitier represented that element in journalism that was always hankering after a free meal—skirmishing around for a free pass." "I did that very thing, Johnny, and last spring I called the editor of the San Antonia Daily Tocsin a little lickspittle grenser with a thimbleful of brains." " And hew you paralyzed the editor of the D»llns Unichr by calling him a slim; reptile wallowing in the filth that gave him birth. And you laid out the editor of the Fort'Worth Bazoo by calling him a bald-headed baboon. whoso frothy ravings and outlandish gibberish made him an objeet of melancholy derision to his friends." "And thst wss a pretty sorry lick I hit the Austin Demagogue when I called him a .limy viper, whose only live ad. was paid for in stomach bitters." " Well, Colonel, if as you say you have done so much to elevate ths lofty mission of the press, why are you discouraged?" " Because, Johnny, it is uuleu for a little Texas oountry paper like the Crosby County Clarion and Farmers' Viiulicator to try to compete with the great New York dailies. Just read what Mr. Pulitzer says about Hr. Dana, and what Mr. Dana says in reply. It's no use, Johnny, we can't compete with the groat New York journalists. I can't find any language that in point of vituperutiou equals that of the New York press. Take ' the bucket, .Johnny, and go for soma boor."—Texas Sifiing*. Mrs. A. Nelson, Brantford, writes:— "I was a sufferer from chronic dyspepsia for eleven years. Always after eating, nn intense burning senution in the stomach, at times vory distressing, caused a ■ drooping mid languid feeling, which would Inst for several hours after eating. I was recommended by Mr. Popplew.fi, chemist, of our city, to try Northrop 4 Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure, and I am thankful to uy that I have not been better fer years; that burning sensation and languid feeling has all gone, and food does not He heavy on my stomach. Others of my family havo used It with best results. gaily. § ritish Columbian Wednesday Evening, July 13, ISST. Tbe River Noutli. It is stated on authoiity whicli cannot be doubted that the condition of mutters at the mouth of Fraser River is worse now than it has been for years. The three outside buoys whioh are supposed to mark the entrance to the main channel are so far out of place that they cannot be taken as guides to the channel at all. Vessels entering aro obliged to grope about with line and load and find deep water as best they may. This condition of things has existed for some weeks, and although representations havo beon mado to the proper authorities nothing has beon done. There is no lack of water, because 15 feet is the shallowest place found at about half tide, and if a more complete examination were made it is not improbable that a channel still deeper could be found. At the entrance to the north arm the most important beacons were carried away last winter and have ter which demands iniineaiate antl careful attention. The Fraser River is incomparably the most important river in British Columbia, and if the people of the mainland sit still nnd allow the entrance to be neglected and the obstacles to navigation to accumulate, thoy will very soon find trade leaving the river altogether and making for itself new channels elsewhere. The government steamer Sir James Douglas and the snag boat Samson arc supposed to he available at all times for the purpose of keeping the buoys in place and clearing away danger ous snags, and it is supposed to be the business of the marine and fishery agent to see that every obstacle to the safe navigation of these waters is removed The Samson is lying idle at the wharf opposite this city, and where the Douglas is we do not know. In the mean time some vessel attempting to enter the river in a storm will bo wrecked, and the responsibility will be laid at the door of the government and its agents, It seems impossible ever to secure promptness in matters relating to the mainland when the official agency is in Victoria. When Capt Lewis obtained the appointment of marine agent it was hoped things would be different; but it is to lie feared he is drifting into the old condition of inaction which made his predecessor so unpopular. Either that, or the regulations by which his actions are governed are quite unsuited to the circumstances, and need immediate revision. Matters pertaining to the navigation of mainland rivers ought to be under control of a mainland oflicer, and nothing less than this will meet mainland necessities. American Pacific Squadron. The statement made by an American officer respecting the Pacific squadron of the United States, which appeared in our despatches of yesterday, is not very complimentary to a great, powerful, progressive nation of over 60,000,000 in habitants. To a question concern ing the IT. S. force on the Pacific he replied: "We haven't any; at least none to speak of!" The vessels of the II. S, Pacific squadron are in quality and quantity so inferior, that if congregated together for any serious business they would become a target for absolute ridicule. The guns are of the old-fashioned smoothbore kind, utterly useless in modern warfare, and the whole fleet musters only about 1300 men, including the crews. Moreover, it would require a long time to concentrate these obsolete vessels anywhere und to put them in fighting trim. One fairly good man-of-war, built and supplied after the modern pattern, would have no difficulty at all in sinking the whole U. S. navy on the Pacific. This is not creditable to a nation of such population and resources, nnd having a surplus of something like one hundred million dollars a year. The interests of tho United States on the Pacific ought to be even larger than those of Great Britain, and her naval power should be proportionately great. But while Britain has on this coast a well-equipped and powerful navy, the United States is practically defenceless on sea and land. Fortunately the relations between the two countries aro of tbe most friendly kind, and the navies have always shown a praiseworthy disposition to assist each other when required; and in the case of the Hawaiian revolution we doubt not that British vessels will be found defending the rights of American citizens if necessary. We hope these friendly sentiments will grow larger and not less, and that it may come to be within the range of possibility that a very firm treaty of alliance offensive and defensive may be entered into between the two. nations. There are in the United States certain.elements of internal danger whioh, if not regulated with a strong hand, may some day become very serious, The foreign population ia large and heterogeneous, and generally antagonistic to the spirit of American institutions. Communism is not an American organization, but it is assuming proportions and practising methods that are incompatible with true liborty.

ROBSON, e-*'^tk^t^ml«wml,aaW\^^tWA at A JAPANESE ACCOUNT OF FANS. | .JOHN SLY'S COMMISSION, Probably a Chinese Invention-Vans for Ceremonious Occasions. Dr. D. IS. MoCartee, for many Tears a missionary and educator in China and Japan, and now a resident ot Washington, District of Columbia, has favored us with a translation he has made of a Japanese account of the fans of that nation. Dr. MoCartee is one of the most accomplished Ohinese and Japanese scholars m America, and his views on any Oriental custom cany the weight of authority. The present communication is a translation from the French of Mr. Matsugata's report entitled "Le Japon a L'Exposition Universale de 1878." There are in Japan two kinds of fans; one called seneu (Ohinese Bhen- tizu), which folds up and is easily carried; the other of a round shape and which does not fold up. No one knows exactly tho origin of fans in Japan, but the traditions have uniformly taught us that about the year 670 (A.D.), during the reign of the emperor Tenji (who adopted many of the institutions and customs of the Chinese), an inhabitant of Tamba, looking at bats folding and unfolding their wings, conceived the idea of making fans of leaves, whioh from tbat circumstance bore the name of kuwa hori, which means a bat. The fan called Hi gi [or Hitreo fan] was made from the leaves of the Hi-no-ki (Chamaoyparis obtusa). The leaves were tied to each, other by threads. Another kind of tan called Ohnkei (Chinese Chu Kin, lit bamboo tendons or veins) is made of bamboo. It has the appearance of being half open when it is shut. These two kinds of fans are only carried on the occosion of great ceremonies. The ordinary fan) are made in Kioto, Osaka aud Owari; bnt the better kinds are made in Tokio. The leaves (ribs, bones, sticks or stays) of fans are mado of bamboo, but ivory, shell and shitan wood (imported from China) are also used. Thoy are decorated with mother-of- pearl, coral and laoquer work. Tho paper which covers the "bones" of the fan is frequently ornamented with gold leaf, drawings, flowers, birds, etc. It is sometimes necessary to give the paper a coating of shiber (or varnish made from the juice of the raw persimmon) to give it greater solidity or firmness. Thero is also a kind of fan very rich in quality and of a larger size, whioh is used by dancers to beat time, or in making graceful motions. The Aohiwa, or fans which do not fold up, come principally from Nara, some twenty miles or so from Kioto, They aro generally made of paper, but sometimes of silk. About KiCO (A.D.), during the period called Kuambun, a (Buddhist) preacher named Gensel, noted for his artistio taste, and who was also a poet, devoted himself at Fukakuse, in the province of Xatn- oshiro, to the making of fans, which were vory beautiful and in perfect good taste. These fans, whioh acquired a great reputation, were known as Fukakusa Uchiwa, They are one of tho principal produots of that province. The best Uchiwa are made at Tokio, bnt as the varieties of this kind ot fans are very numerous, we will not weary our readers by enumerating them in detail. [Nor*.—The translator does 'not hold himself responsible tor the inconsistencies ot this account. The emperor, Tenji, introduced many of the Chinese manners and customs into Japan and many imitations ot the Chinese official forms and offices. Calendars, almanacs, and the mode ot denominating the year, were all introduced about the same time from China and fans probably at the same time also. The Chinese name used in Japan would confirm the supposition that the better kinds oi tans, at least, were introduced from China.—D. B. McC] —[New York Commercial Advertiser. e.f — To Kalw Clothing Waterproof. It is found thlt when paraffins is thoroughly mind with Unseed oil, cast into small blocks, and cooled, it may be used to make any fabric, as elothfelt, and leather, waterproof, by rubbing it with suoh a blook, and ironing afterward to equalize the distribution ol tht material in the pores. If too muoh la not rat on, the material may be made to lie only impervious to water, bnt not to air, the small greasy pores repelling witer, but not air. «■» School Boy". SertAlte. What wouldn't the average boy give if his pa wonld only send him to the Fort Wrangel training sohool in Alaska? The newspaper ot that place says that the boys of the eohool last year killed for ths use ot the institution 1121 deer, 11 seals, 1 bear, abont ISO wild geese, over 800 ducks, and numerous grouse, poroupincs, marmots and snipe, and ought all tho salmon, trout, honing, flounders, crabs, and chime they needed. »<* The One Thing to Teach Delghten. There never was better advice given than that which Washington Irving once gave a lady: " Don't be too anxious about the education ot your daughters; they will do very well; don't teach them so many things; teach them one thing." "What is that, Hr. Irving?" she asked, "Teach them," he said, "to be easily pleased." «■> Boating la North Africa.

There is also a great deal of romance about John. That is, he has lately had a great deal of romance knocked out of him, John was a hostler at the village hotel barn, but while he did his work in a satisfactory manner, he was by no means satisfied. Ho compared himself to an cagle chained by the leg to a hen coop. He longed to break his bonds and soar. He was undecided whether to join a circus or hire out on a steamboat when fortune decided his fate. Ho received a circular from " The Great International Detective Agency" of Cincinnati, explaining that the secretary of that organization had heard of his natural detective talents, and was desirous of giving him an appointment. Tho said appointment carried a commission with it, and this commission would bo sent on as soon as John Sly had forwarded the sum of 85. Any one who imagines that the hostler was ovor thirty minutes mailing his monoy for that commission is greatly mistaken. In thirty minutes more he had quit his job, and his friends could see that a great change had come over him. Ho bad a knowine look. H« suddenly became reserved. He began to glide abont like a cat. In due time the commission arrived, and a letter with it, warning John to be on tho watch for counterfeiters, horse thieves, bank burglars and other wicked folks. They had struck the right man. Inside of an hour he had a pair of handcuffs and a revolver strapped to him and was ont on the watch. Suspicion soon began to thrill his soul. The Mayor of the town had a wicked, depraved look; several merchants seemed to be startled when suddenly addressed; the village blacksmith was seen banging around the bank as if making an examination of tho windows. For two or three days and nights John Sly nursed his suspicions and kept his eyes open. Then it struck him that a real detective ought to turn up something startling in order to clinch his reputation, and he arrested tho chief of tho fire department, two members of the council and tho bank cashier, and marched them iu a body to tho jail. His first surprise come in when tho jailer wouldn't receive them, bis second when they laughed at his commission, his third when a constable and a warrant landed him in a coll for illegally impersonating an Officer. John Sly is in jail yet, and four men around howling for his blood. i'hoy don't want his blood exactly, but they aro determined to send him either to a lunatic asylum or State prison. The days como and go, and the nights chow up with great regularity, and John sly reads and re-reads that commission, gives himself a vigorous kickiug, and cries out in plaintive tones: " Oh, why didn't someone come to me and tell me that I was born a fool?" «■» OUTWARD BOUND. I sit and watch the ships go out Across tlio widening sea; ' How one by one, In shimmering sun, They sail away from me. I know not to what lands they sail,) Nor what the freight they bear; I only know they outward go, While all the winds are fair. Beyond tho low horizon lino whore my short sight must fall, Somo other oyos a watch will keep, Where'er tho ships may sail; By night, by day, or near, or far, O'or narrow seas or wide, Those follow still, at love's sweet will, Whatever may betide. Bo round the world the ships all sail, To dreary lands or fair; So with thorn go, tor weal or woe, Somo dear ones everywhere. How will therospeed each lagging keel, Whon homeward it Is laid; Or watch will keep, o'or surges deep, It thero a gravo be mado 1 0 human love, so tried, so true, That knows not mete nor hound, But follows with unwearied watch Onr dally changing round I 0 Lovo divine, 0 Lovo supreme, What matter whore I sail, So I but know, where'er I go, Thy watch will nover fall? -[Anson D.

In this pungent, easily appreciable, and artistic style of presenting a subject, tlio whole situation Is revealed al a glance. The success of Wr/p shows how well I his fact. Is appreciated—Its Cartoons on iho passing political events of the country being even more eagerly sought after than the chaste aud humorous Ictler-prcss of the paper,— though the latter Is equal to that of any similar publication on ihe continent. Tho publishers uf Grip are making ex tensive improvements for 188ft. Tho old cover Is to tie discarded, end the journal will hereafter comprise 12 pages, and be printed on heavy toned ami calendered paper,—every number boingsoartistically executed as to compart* favorably with tho best papers on the continent. The advts, will be compressed and more syslc- matleully arranged; while similar lm* provements will bo made as to the letterpress.

Sohool election at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning at the Hyack Hall. Remember the entertainment in the liaptist church at 8 o'clock to-night. F. tfc W. Wallace, shipbuilders, of St. John, N.F., have made an assignment. A land-slide at Zug, Switzerland, carried twenty-seven houses nnd twenty people into the lake. Edison is at work on a contrivance for sending messages from vessel to vessel through the water. The Indians are bringing in largo quantities of wild blackberries, for which they find ready sale. Messrs. E. S. Scoullar & Co. re* ceivtd to-day about a thousand feet of rubber hose from the east. Carpenters are at work building a dye and wash house for the woollen mills to the east of the main building. Mr. R. S. Cawston arrived to-day from the Similkaraeen with another lot of beef cattle, about 118 in number. 8 cars of freight arrived early this morning from the far enst. Among tho lot is 3 carloads of whiskey for Victoria. Parties wishiifc fruits for preserving should place their orders at once. Special rates on quantities for putting up.—C. J.

An evening's entertainment will be given tn the basement of the Baptist Church on Wednesday (July 13), at 8 o'clock. Cake and fruit will be served. Admission 25 ots. djyl2t2 The C.P.R. is offering special rates to Banff. From Winnipeg the return rate is placed at $50, and from points in British Columbia at 830. This will doubtless induce many to visit this famous health resort. Mr. Van Home is tho authority for saying the mayors of Montreal, Toronto, and London will be knighted in honor of tlio Queen's jubilee. Ho says he has seen a telegram from Windsor Castle to that effect. There aro two broken planks in tho sidewalk in front of the Drill Shud inviting immediate attention from the board of works. It is a dangerous place, and has been in a dangerous condition now for some weoks. Tlie str. Parthia was delayed 12 hours at Victoria because she could not obtain a ton of potatoes. She had tn wait for the str. Elder from San Franoisco, If the Parthia had eomo to New Westminster she could have got a load of potatoes. Sir Charles Tupper's budget speech has been printed in pamphlet form for general distribution. It is a very comprehensive speech, and is accompanied by lithographed plates showing many interesting staatics of trade and development. We have to thank Sir Charles for a copy. Hyder Bux, the East Indian in search of his father, left for Winnipeg to-day via the C.P.R. Pursuant to Mayor Dickinson's request, Mr. Abbot, of the C.P.R., kindly consented to allow him a half fare ticket, and a sum sufficient to defray this expense was readily subscribed by the citizens. The William Irving arrived from up-river porta at 1 o'clock. She brought down a good cargo of freight, including 3 tons of oats from Langley, and 118 cattle from the Similkameen district, belonging to Mr. R. S. Cawston. She reports that the river has been rising at Hopo during the recent warm spell. At a meeting ot the council of the Westminster board of trade held yes* terday, Mr. D. Ohisholm, M.P., made a statement respecting various matters which had engaged his attention at Ottawa. After hearing the statement n resolution was unanimously passed by the council expressing approval of the Action taken by Mr, Ohisholm. The banquet given In the Orange Hall last evening was very successful. Ovor 100 people were present, and tho evening was merrily spout. Mr. Wm. Johnson, district grand master, pro- sided in tlie chair. Toasts wero given and eongs eung. After the banquet wu ended the tables were cleared away and dancing waa indulged in until near morning. A MatiumonTal Boom.--It is reported that the next few days will witness a boom in tlie matrimonial market. At least throe weddings nro looked for very shortly. One will take placo next week, and by it Westminster will lose ono of her fairest daughters, na tlio gentleman, who will till tho part of bridegroom lives in tho east, nnd iB already on his way west to claim his bride. A Tni'E Wolf SxoiiY.—Yesterday evening Mr. 0, G. Major and Mr, A, E. Hill, C. E,, wore driving along tho Bttrrard Inlot road towards this eity, a short distance beyond Burnaby Lake, when they observed two black wolves on tlio rond. Presently tv whito wolf stopped on to tho road, and tho three caught sight of the team nnd scampered away ns fast as their legs could carry them. They wero full grown animals, nnd tho gentlemen declare there is no mistake about their being wolves. Now, whoro nro our Nim- ods! Painful Acoiobnt,—Tuesday afternoon while Mr. .Tns. Orr, M.P.P., wus was walking down Alexander streot, near the railroad crossing, the too of his boot caught against a long sliver in a plank on tho sidewalk, which had tho effect of throwing him suddenly forward and severely spraining the left knee. Had it not beon for tho timely assistance of a gentleman walking with Mr. Orr at tho time tho accident would hare been much worse and probably of a serious nature. It is likely Mr. Orr will bo confined to tho houso for several days.—Vancouver News, Suicide at Golden City .—Sergt.- Mnjor Luke, of D. Division, N. W. mounted police, while in camp at Golden City, suicided on Friday last by shooting himself. He complained of a sovere attack 6f neuralgia. At night he retired ns usual. Early iu tho morning one of his comrades heard n pistol shot. Ho got up nnd looked into tho sergeant's tent, but saw him apparently asleep. It was not learned what had happened until about 0 o'clock in the morning. When lie did not come out to join tho force some of tho men went to his tent aud found him dead. The bullet passed through tho front of tho head, entered the right temple nnd came out at the left. He wns buried nt Golden City on Sunday. The Fk'aser Mouth.—We nro informed that the buoys at the entrance to tho Fraaer River, both north nnd south arms, nro very badly out of place, and that great inconvenience is experienced by navigators in consequence, Tho channel ut the south arm has slipped considerably outside of No. 7 buoy, nnd between the first two buoys thero is only about M feet of water at low tide. On the sand heads there aro two rows of buoys and between these the channel is supposed to be; but it is found necessary now to enter about 100 yards north of No. 1 buoy, and to koop to the north of Nos. 2 nnd 3 ns well. After passing No. 3 thero is water enough between tho two rows of buoys, but Nn. 6 is 100 yds. too far north, arid No. (i is too far mirth by 250 yds. Vessels coming in find it necessary to tako soundings and feel their jvfty as best they can, Thero seems to be no lack of water, as there is a depth of ut least 15 feet nt half tide in the shallowest place, and if the real channel woro properly surveyed probably even a greater depth would bo found. Tho buoys at the outer entrance nre not sufficiently conspicuous. At the north arm threo of tho most important beacons wero carried away last winter, and havo never been replaced. There are also sevcrnl dangerous snugs in tho river. Those matters ought to be promptly attended lo by the proper authorities. Wo understand that the board of trade has been put iu possession of tho facts, and will inuko such representations to the minister at Ottawa ns may produce the desired result.
