C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1885. NUMBER 41 AOENTS T. N. Huibek & Co. Viotoria. t. R. Pearson & Co Yale, THIS PAPER I'. Itonoll & Co.'a llic "British Columbian. We-liiosilny Morning, .Vnv. IK, IKKJI, current Events nnd Opinions, Lord Lansdowne's passage over the Rocky Mountains was mude too soon to enable iiiin to be present ut the driving of the last spike in tlie Canadian Pacific Railway,though that achievement would take place a few days or weeks after he left. With the political necessity of the railway, not less than the magnitude and thoroughness of the work, Iu* was impressed; going so far as to say, on the first point, that without the road the Confederation Act would not have been worth the paper on whieh it was written. This is the political view of the necessity for thc railway expenditure which from the inception of the undertaking has found expression. Tt is a half truth that requires to lie supplemented by the economic considerations which the cost of the work presents. Tin's is tlie serious aspect of a political enterprise, over wliich it is easy to be jubilant so long as wo confine ourselves lo nn imaginative presentation of the political view. The wisdom of undertaking so costly a work has yet to bo demonstrated. But it is too lute for misgivings or regrets; tho venture has been made and the rational thing to do is to make the best of the road now that it has boen built. Whatever advantages are to be derived from a railway connection with tlie remotest parts of the Dominion aro now within reach. With Uritish Columbia tho rest of the country can have very little trade until an increase in the population of tho Pacific province takes place. Krojn the benefits of Chineso labor, which have been very great on tlie Pacific coast of the United States, the Columbians have voluntarily debarred themselves, One result will be that tho labor by which mines of moderate richness might have boen worked and in which it might not be possible to employ whito labor at all, will bo wanting. As a link between Europe nnd China, the East Indies and Japan, the value of the rond can only lie determined by experience. Speculation on tho question would be waste of effort. Ou the completion of the road, the stoppage of the heavy expenditure on construction will he injuriously felt along the lino; a large amount of labor will lie set free, a part of whicli amy find new employment iu working the road; another part will drift back whence it came, iu search of new railway work, while some of tlio floating laborers will be transformed into farmers, near the line whicli makes settlement in the distant wilderness possible. The severest financial trials of the company will come at first, when it has the maximum extent of road to work and the minimum amount of traflic from which to derive a revenue, With settlement only can an increase of business and r-nvouue come; and the rate of settlement cannot be ascertained in advance. The repayment of the loan of five millions obtained from the government last session is au achievement which few believed it would lie iu tho power of the company to make at so early a period. A set-hack came with tho North-west insurrection; but the promptitude with wliich the uprising wits quelled liy the exertion of tho local force, is likely to create the impression tliat order will iu future bo maintained and life and property made secure in tlie North-west, lt is due to those to whose charge tho work of construction was coiilided, to say that they have performed their task with au energy and a promptitude which are almost if not altogether without parallel; and when it is done no one will grudge thom any benefits which they may derive from the operation of the colossal machinery which they have put together and set in motion.— The. Week .court of Xml'AC. ttoture Jir.Jiif-.tico McCrolghi. All Saturday wns consumed by the court in the cuse of O'Connor, a convict, charged with an attempt to escape from tho penitentiary, lie- fore hearing evidence Mr. Bole, who appeared for the priso-ier, snid he wished to call attention to some peculiarities of the case. If tho dilli cnlties placed by ihe authorities of the peiiiientinry iu llm way of him, as counsel for theprisuner, had been sn placed by nulhoriiy of the Dominion giivernment, it wm right felt itt the fact should be mude public. When he received u commiinicatimi from the prisoner asking hit))' to act us counsel, he supposed tliere would ba no difficulty in gaining access freely to liis client, bnt ho found himself obstructed at every turn. In all his legal experience he never knew an instance in which a counsel was compelled to consult with his client in the presence of the very persons wlm would appear against him, as had been done in this case. Justice and fair play was turned into a farce, for under such circumstances the case of his client was simply given away to the prosecution. Not only was he prevented from proper access to liis client, but yesterday, when the prisoner was in gaol he hud buen denied the privilege of pencil aud paper with which to note down necessary instructions. He must now protest against this treatment. The judge, interrupting, said there must have heen a mistake ou the part of the guards. A prisonerhud an undoubted right to communicate without hindrance with his attorney, and without the intervention of other parties. Such communications were always privileged, and they could not be so if made iu the presence of a third person. He could not believe there had been nny intention on the purt of the oflicers to obstruct Mr. Bole. Mr. McColl said he was instructed by the warden to say that, if thore had been anything of this sort it was entirely without his knowledge or consent. Mr. Bolo said he was satisfied with the remarks that hod fallen from the learned judge, but.he believed it his duty to bring the matter before the court and the jury. Mr. McColl, for tlie prosecution, then referred briefly to the nature of the charge against prisoner. It was contrary to law for a prisoner in lawful custody to attempt escape, and unless punishment could be in- inflicted proper discipline could not be maintained. In 1883 the prisoner was convicted and sentenced to years iu the penitentiary, and the attempted escape occurred in 1884. Jas. Fitzgerald, guard, was sworn aud testified that on tho 16th Oct. the prisoner was taken to the warden's ofKce upon a charge of misconduct ; he was tried, und the warden ordered him to have irons until his conduct would admit of their removal ; after leaving the ofllce prisoner asked to see the warden again; witness said he couldn't, but the warden consented and he was taken iuto the ollice again; he asked if he might write to Judge Grey or the American consul; the warden said lut wouldn't allow him to write to uny one until he learned to behave himself; prisoner immediately pull* ed his cap over his eyes, jumped through thu window, and ran nbout 166 yds. to where there was a ladder and had reached the fence top when Smith arrived and pulled the ladder out from under him; prisoner had his head over tho wall and his chest against it aud hung on with his hands; McKenzie, who also pursued the prisoner, fired twice ut hiin with his revolver, tho second shot taking effect, in his leg; the bullet passed through the fleshy part of the leg near the knee, and he fell from the fence and was curried to his cell. In cross-examination by Mr. Bole the witness said O'Connor had been treated the same as other convicts; had been punished a great many times, mostly for talking; but there wero other convicts who had been punished us often for trivial offences, Murrion for one; Marrion was just another such convict us O'Connor, and Barry was no worse; Barry had beeu constantly iu solitary confinement since April 17th, 1884, except that for the last month lie has been allowed out half un hour eaoh day for exorcise; during all this time he has been in irons; O'Connor has beeu confined iu his cell since October, 1884, until lust month, but hud no irons; there is no hospital in the place, aud sick convicts are treated in their cells; after Barry's assault ou the guard, prisoner was put in irons, Geo. Hut-'hcsoii, another guard, said ho had heard Fitzgerald's evidence, and it was true. In cross- examination he mentioned some of the ollencos for which O'Connor had been reported iu the penitentiary; on one occasion he hud hid while at work, aud whon witness found htm the prisoner lifted an axe at him; was reported for this, but may not have been punished; was present when the irons were put on prisoner; usually tho convict is allowed piece of cloth under the irons to prevent chafing; prisoner did not complain of the irons being too tight; witness remarked they were- too loose, and would slip over his heels; heard prisoner say something ubout the irons. Geo. McKenzie, one of the instructors, described lhe attempted escape, and corroboroted Fitzgerald's evidence, hut added nothing material. Dr. Trew, surgeon, gave evidence as to attendance ou prisoner after he wns shot; he attended him immediately after the occurrence and dressed the wound; prisoner was on his sick book about 2 mos.; during thut time he saw him from 3 to 5 times u week ; he wus furnished with hatever was necessary in addition to the ordinary fare; no convict wns put into solitary confinement Without witness being notified; he did not usually call upon nny convict unless notified by the officers; thought O'Connor mid Barry were about, equally bad.

F Concert * Choral Union ■fhe fvitiflh Columbian. tVeilnesilay Morning, Nov. 18, 1885, The execution of Riel, whicli took place nt Regina last Mondny morning- very abruptly ends all speculation as to his fate. Wo have already expressed the opinion that the execution of Riel for liis connection with the lato rebellion is an act of doubtful policy. Abundant evidence has been produced to show tliat tlio rebellion was tho outcome of great provocation, and as far as Riel was concerned he seems to have abstained from acts of cruelty: At the same time he richly deserves dentil for the murder of Thomas Scott in 1870—a crime as bluck as anything in Canadian history. The execution ot Kiel, therefore, is at nil events demanded by avenging justice. We liavo devoted u good deal of space to-day to a report of the case in the assize court last Saturday in which n great deal of public interest has been manifested. The proceedings were most unusual throughout. O'Connor wns being tried on a charge of attempting to escape from tho penitentiary, but really the oflicers of that institution were on trial for cruelty, especially towards the prisoner. We cannot accept O'Connor's statement of grievances against the sworn evidence of the oflicers of the penitentiary, and must come to the conclusion that his charges were not sustained. Tiie only act of injustice brought to the surface seems to be the putting of O'Connor into a cell adjacent to three or four howling mad men. This looks like very harsh treatment under the circumstances, but perhaps it is susceptible of a satisfactory explanation. that the peoplo of Victoria havo become awaro of the folly of clinging to the foolish expectation of being the practical terminus of tiie C.P.R." For publishing this comment our cotemporary declares that The Columbia:*; was rejoicing at the downfall of Viotoria! What rot. Where are the sign-; of rejoicing? Wo defy the Colonist to evolve them out of tho sentence, and we deny that there was any rejoicing at all over Victoria's decay. Such a thought could only have been evolved out of a disordered imagination such as, we fear, our esteemed cotemporary possesses. There has never been a wish expressed in The Columbian for Victoria's embarrassment; but all right-minded men must experience a feeling of satisfaction because the preposterous scheme of nn impracticable gulf ferry lias been quietly shelved by Mr. Van Home. It is tins fact that has touched our esteemed friend of the Colonist, because the scheme has been one of his most precious hobbies. ll BALL Under the Ausplui beautiful photographic views iu British Coiumbin, set ut T.

Address, .1. W. HODGSON, ISnolni Sumns, 11. 0. On llic Rniupnge. Our friend of the Victoria Colonist seems to have lost liis hend absolutely since the visit of Mr. Van Horne, und the final settlement of the C P. R, terminus matter. We certainly had no intention of provoking a fresh quarrel with our cotemporary, since the Battery 0 discussion left him in such a pitiable state of mental discontent. But, apparently, the merriment with which' Mr. Vnn flbilie received tho suggestion of a railway ferry across the gulf has made our cotemporary very angry. He cannot or dare not strike ut Mr. Vnn Horne, nnd he turns with reckless disregard for facts and consequences and endeavors to assuage his disappointment by a clumsy attempt to sit upon The Columbian. On our part there has certainly been no provocation whatever; but that docs not matter to an editor whose mind is thoroughly niadn up to hit somebody. Thk Columbian published a telegram from Victoria, in perfect good faith, announcing the completion of arrangements for the extension to Coal Harbor and the erection of terminal works there. The telegram also said: "Mr. VanHorne has pricked tlio ferry bladder, and the Colonist came out this morning gracefully accepting the situation." With these statements our cotemporary is very angry, and *iu his wrath flies intu the old habit of shouting sectionalism! Surely no person whose mind is not hopelessly warped by sectional jealousies will dispute that Mr. VanHorne did effectually destroy the strange infatuation of certain Victorians, led and encouraged by the Colonist, who supposed that a ferry across the gulf would carry tho railway terminus to Victoria. He laughed at the suggestion, and the Colonist published a report of the interview without so much as a protest against the cruel words which had exploded and scattered its theories of making Victoria the "practical" terminus of the C. P. U. If silence gives consent, our Victoria correspondent was quite justified in assuming by the Ctlonist's silence that it "gracefully accepted the situation" made so inevitably manifest by Mr. Vnn- Horne's statements which it published. Morever, on the 13th inst. it published n vory brief but doublo-leaded editorial under the head "Up and Doing!" in which it again evidently "accepted the situation" and urged its readers to energetic action for the purpose of saving the trade of Victoria. These facts seem to us to show beyond doubt that our correspondent's statements aud inferences were entirely in accord with the facts. But our cotemporary has a further grievance, Commenting Upon the Viotoria telegram we Midi "It ti quite evident DOMINION LANDS, B.C.

A littlo girl attending the publio school was struck ou tho head last Monday by a stono thrown by a school boy, and knocked almost senseless, The practice of stono throwing is vory dangerous, and may lead to tho penitentiary.

Levi was fined 8130 aud Stevenson $80, costs to go with judgment, Mr, Corbould (Corbould & McColl) appeared for tho prosecution. We understand that an appeal will bo mado. Dr. Trow held an inquest yosterday afternoon on tlio Chinaman lately reported to liavo been killed by a stone. After hearing evidence thu enquiry was adjourned till thu 17th December, su that a full report of tho postmortem examination may be obtained. It is rumored that the man whs poisoned, and we presume it is with a view to ascertain ing the correctness of the rumor lhat au analysis of the stomach lias been ordered. There was a mooting of the city counoil held ou Mouday night, but the business was chiefly of a routine character. A communication from tho provincial secretary was read In which it was stated that thu attorney-general waB of opinion thut the race-course reserve could not be conveyed tu the city without the coiment of the legislature. As tin's reserve was originally sol apart for that purposo wa do not see how tho legislature oould consistently object. Application was also iiiiulo to thc council by a person who jiropuBUS to erect a woollen mill. Tho Reveille is permitted to state authoritatively that early in tho coining spring work will begin earnestly on the U. B. & B. C. railroad.

A letter from London to the New York Times says the Liberals claim they will eleet 400 members, at loast. A majority in the new house will be 330. The elections begin Nov, 25th. That Doo Cart.—In the case of Doane vs. Weeks & Foster, for possession of a dog curt, judgment was given last Monday in favor of plf. The judge held that Foster, as one member of the firm, had power to deal with linn property, and that in his cross- examination Weeks practically admitted that on beini' informed by Dunne of Fester's arrangement he did not object to it, and in effect ratified it. Mr. Bole for plf.; Mr. McColl (Corbould & McColl) for dftB. Hon. Edward Blake.—The Montreal Star, an independent journal, referring to Mr, Blake's rumored resignation of the Liberal leadership, says: "Such a course would have many advantages for Mr. Blake personally, but it would be little short of a public calamity, Canada iB not bo rich in able men that she can afford to lose from tier deliberative assembly her ableat orator, her most learned parliamentarian, her best constitutional lawyer, a man who in publio estimation contests the tirst place with Sir John Macdonald. The mud slinging and the abuse of their organs have not succeeded in blinding the eyea of the most thorough-going Conservatives to the fact that in Mr. Blake the country possesses a man of whom it should bo proud—proud of him not only for hia ability, but also because he, unlike ninny of our publicists, wears "the wliite flower of a blameless life." Only those who follow the debates in parliament closely can understand the value and the oxtent of the work ho doos yoar after year for the country.

Court or Assize. Before Mr. Justice McCreight. (Prom First Page.) A. H. McBride, warden, was then called by the defence. He said prisoner had been in custody over 2 years; about 2 moa. after coming in he was reportod for bad conduct; according to reports from tho guards ho was a vory bad character; he wos put in irons after the Barry assault, aud bo remained about 4 mos.; the irons would probably weigh C or 7 lbs.; if any convict reports himself sick tho steward enters the report in the surgeon's book, and the aurgeon visits him; men confined in tho cells are always under the doctor's care so long as they nre there; in solitary confinement convicts are usually kept in the cell continuously; the cells are 8x4\\; thoy have no recreation whatever; Barry has been in his cell since April 1884; lately he has boon allowed frum 30 to 00 minutes each day for exercise outside his cell; he haa been in irons all that timo, and when he goes out for exercise hand* coifs are put on in addition to tho irons; O'Connor has often naked permission to write, but has boon refused because of bad conduct; he did writo once to Judge Gray, and since it had been decided to bring on this trial he has had permisaiou to writo to his friends; ho was nnt tried sooner because nu orders had beon received; witness never moved iu mutters of this kind without instructions from Ottnwa; since thu olleuce was committed several convicts and guards havo loft, hut tho primmer was iu juat aa good a position for the trial as ovor he was; there is nu official in tho province whose duty It is lo visit the penitentiary; ho had power to forbid convicts communicating with the outside; there was no appeal from his decision; about 7 years-had elapsed betweon thu inspector's visits; tho assistant inspect'-!1 ceased his visits about 3 years ago; when Mr. Trutch held an iuvusligatioii some timo ago there were several com* plaints; the prisoners had no counsel on that occasion; did not know what waa the result of thu enquiry; thero was uu other investigation into thu treatment of convicts; on the occnsimi of prisoner being tried for throatuning a guard with nn nxe, theru was some* thing said about thu guard drawing a revotvor; the prisoner was not punished for that offence; thero are 4 insano convicts in the institution; thoy s-mutinies screamed day and night; O'Con*. nor was at ono time in a celt next to | them. OroBs-exnmined by Mr. McColl, witness said Bury was committed for garrotting iu Victoria) onco hu Iiml buen fl-igged ami confined in his cell because hu threw whitewash into the eyes of a guardand grabbed at hia revolver; he is too dangerous to be let out of liis cell; O'Connor was reported 7 times bofore any punishment was inflicted. A list of charges, taken from the books, was produced. It contained about 40, of whicli these are samples: Writing to another convict, talking, idling bis time, having matches in hiB cell, lighting paper in his cell, talking while at work, smoking in bis cell, quarrelling at work, refusing to put on his shoes, refusing to work with irons on, obstructing a guard on duty, Impertinent language, insolence, giving a book to another convict, talking in church, having a knife iu his cell, attempting to pasB a nolo out of his coll to a visitor, attempting to escape, disturbing tho other convicts, &c. Witness said theso charges woru made by a great many different guards; there wero at preseut 101 convicts, and Ihu place wus overcrowded; there wore all sort3 of characters, and it was diflicult to maintain order; referring to Mr. Bole's complaint, witness snid it was not truo; on Dominion Day lhe prisoner was taken out into the guards' robm whoro ho had ample opportunity to consult with Mr. Bole; Mr. Bole hns had occasion to visit tlio prisoner frequently, and has never been denied access to him; as far as ho knew no guard or ollicer of the penitentiary bud any ill-will towards prisoner, and his treatment had been according to his behavior; no other convict, not oven Barry, hud boen so often roported for misconduct in so short a time. In ic-exaiiiiiiatioii by Mr. Bole tho witness said: Your statement that difH- cultios were put in your way is not true; when you nppliud for permission to seo prisoner, I consulted with the deputy-warden, and you weru admitted tu see him; witness said ho did not consider that an obstruction; prisoner frequently com plained that ho was persecuted; don't remember telling him ho could writo to tho minister uf justico if ho wanted to; whon the inspector was horo prisoner was brought boforo him. Jas, Fitzsimmons, doputy-wardon, said talking was strictly against the rules; wns present when tho irons wero put on prisoner; thuy woro not too tight; hu would not have allowed irons to yo on that woru too tight; he had one of tho usual cloth pads inside; it is only convicts of good behavior who havo tho privilege of writing to outsiders; the warden has powor to refuse all outside communication with a convict; when the minister of justico was thero a fuw years ago tho names of all convicts who were known to have complaints were givon to him; when Mr. Trutch hold the enquiry any convict who wished could mako a complaint. In roply to Mr. McColl, witness said thero was no prejudice, so far ns hu know, against prisuticr, and ho had not been treated with exceptional so verity--indeed, ho had got off vory lightly. This closed tho evidence, and Mr. Bole addressed the jury. Ho said it was dim of the must extraordinary cases that uver camo within his knowledge. Many years ago the condition of prisoners iu Kngland was a disgrace to civilization, and led John Howard to undertake hiB wurk of prison reform. It was not thu purposo of tho law to follow with vengeance, but only to exact just .punishment so that the men might como back to their fellows botter instead of worse. But while the prisons of England aru surrounded with safeguards against ubuse, in this oase wo find that tho prisoner has been thu victim of most extraordinary treatment, and that all tho convicts are completely at tho mercy of tho keeper. In tho days of slavery there were many good masters, and yet somo slave owners plied the lash till tho life waa lashed out of their victims. According to thu admissions uf thu warden antl Iris deputy a convict could only write when he pleased tho warden. Ho may bo placed in a dungeon 8x4A, und in this monugerio case he might bo confined like a beast without exercise or recreation for ft year and a half, loaded with oliuins! It was terrible to think of a fellow being placed in such a position, and thero was practically uo check. Tho causes for which this man hud boon so often punished woro paltry; nnd for an attempt to escape this torture ho waa shot down like a dog, thrust intu a confined cage and left thero for 13 months. In 7 years thero had been only ono visit from the inspector. Tho convict ia th* uat into his cell, and for 4 months lies in irons while the warden tries to obtain instructions from Ottawa. He was instructed by tho prisoner to say ttiat hia attempt to escape was made in the desperato frenzy of despair, because he had lust nil hope of othorwiso letting his voico be heard outside the prison walls. Hu believed that if ho made this attempt hu wuuld be brought into court mul would havu nn opportunity of ventilating tho grievances under which existence bad become a burden to him. Now, it is proposed that this persecuted man bo sent back for nn extended period to tho infliction of his tormentors! Uo repeated that obstructions had been interposed when ho sought to communicate with his client, and ho asked tho jury, if a verdict of guilty was found, to add to their verdict a plain statement uf thoir opinion of tho present system of penitentiary inspection. Upon application of Mr. Bole, tho prisoner was thou nllowcd to address thu jury, which ho did fur an hour and throe minutes. Hu mnde a great mnny charges against thu ulticers of (hu institution. The deputy-wnrdou soomed to bu running thu institution, and tlio j warden had no authority. Some pri* Boners wore well treated and others H WW Bar I'raixk. — The well-known weru punished at ovory opportunity, drug firm of N. C. Poison k Co., of King* lf " n n..*i...i:- - :... -.. I lton, writes that l»r. Fowler's Kxtraet of Wild Strawberry has long Wen con visit the place at least once or twice a year. Mr. McColl said this was the most extraordinary case he had ever heard or read of. The question for the jury was simply whether the prisoner mado an attempt to escape, but thu trial had been turned into an enquiry into tho maoagemorit of the penitentiary. The only ell'ect of proof of bad treatment, if sustained, would bu a mitigation of tho sentence. Whenever thu appeal 'against tyranny touched our ears it met with a hearty responae in tho liuman heart; but it should bo our care not to let such appeals divert our minds from tho stern demands of justice His learned friend had arraigned the statesmen of Great Britain and the United Status on prison regulations. But tliese prison rules were made by law, and every oflicer iu the penitentiary was sworn to stand by them. Thc primary crime of which this man is suffering the penalty was thu cause of all his trouble. It was intundud that the torm of imprisonment should bu one of punishment and not of pleasure. It was tho guneral opinion that he ought to hnvu had n longer term, aud hu regretted that this court could impose upon him no greater additional punishment than one brief year. The learned judge briefly referred to tho evidence, aud did not sec how the jury could hesitate about a verdict Thu man's treatment could not excuse his attempt tu escape, The 28 charges against hiin were all breaches of prison rules which were binding. There was no doubt that the act of shooting an escaping convict, who could not be otherwise stopped, waB justified by law. Alter an absence of abuut an hour the jury found a verdict of guilty. This verdict was accompanied by a recommendation tu mercy, and a further recommendation that thu penitentiary ahould be more frequently inspected. On Monday the case against Wong Hie, for keeping a disorderly house on Front st., was taken up. Mr. Bole, who appeared for Hie, pleaded guilty, and appealed tu the court for leniency because this was the first cose of the kind, aud because the prisoner undertook to abate the nuisance. The judge asked whether the crown counsel wished to call evidence bo as to enable hiin to form an idea of what sentence should be passed, Mr. McColl said that as Mr. Atkinson had been specially retained in the same case, and ho (Mr. McColl) had had no opportunity of making himself acquainted with the facts, he thought Mr. Atkinson Bhould be heard. Mr. Atkinson suid he had been retained by the Indian department, and did not wish to press for heavy damages, but for an abatement of tho nuisance. Judgment was $50 or one month. Mr. McColl pointed out thut if the nuisance wub not abated tho man cuuld be brought before the police court any time and punished. Yesterday thu case Regina vs. Charlie Alexis, for murder, waa taken up, Thu prisoner through hia counsel, Mr. Bole, pleaded guilty of manslaughter. Mr. McColl, for the crown, stated that ho had given this caao must anxious attention and thought it would not be proper for him to oppose any objection to the reception of the plea. From tho length of time that had elapsed, sumo uf the witnesses of the crown were absent and there was no probability that they could ever be obtained, aud though from the witnesses here tho death of tho deceased could, he thought, bo trncod to the hand of tho prisoner, yet he believed that the evidence did not clearly point to murder. Then the prisoner claimed, aud not improbably with reason, that some witnesses whom ho relied on were absent and whose ovidonco might place on un entirely different complexion thu case from that of the crown witnesses. The judge expressed hia opinion that under the circumstances the pica ought to be received. This completed thu calendar. The 4 pris-1 oners will be sentenced to-day.

Rkcina, Nov. 15.—When High Sheriff Chapleau entered the room, Kiel, alio had been conversing with the surgeon of the post, arose and welcomed him in a hearty and thoroughly unconstrained manner. His voice is modulated nnd bo displayed no sign of excitement. His initial greeting was, "Well, and so you have come with the great announcement, I am glad, Sheriff Chaplea.t," he replied, "that the death warrant has come," Riel, continuing in the same cheery way, said: "I am glad that at last I am to bo released from my Bufferings," He then broke off iuto French and thanked the sheriff for his personal consideration. He proceeded again in English: ''I desire that my body shall be given to iny friends to be laid iu St. Boniface." This is tha French cemetery across Red River from Winnipeg. The sheriff asked liim if he had any wishes to convey as to the disposal of his personal estate or effects, "Mon cher," replied he, "I have only this," touching his breast above the region of tho heart. "This I gave to my country 15 years ago, aud it is all I hare to give now." He was asked as to his peace of mind. He replied: "I long ago made my peace with my God, and am as prepared to go now as I can be at any time. I am willing to go. Shsll I be permitted to say something on the scaffold?" he said in a tone of inquiry, and when told ho would bo allowed, he said smilingly, "You think if I may Bpeak loos that it will unnerve mc. Oh! no; I shall uot be weak; I shall feel thut when the laat moment conies, I Bhall have words whicli shall carry me upward," Then, reverting again to the French tongue, and iu his own inimitable winning way for which he is so famed to all those who have known him intimately, he spoke again of the kind remembrance he would retain of tlioso who espoused his personal cause. He closed by saying to Sheriff Chapleau, in parting: "Adieu, mon ami! You will hud that I had a mission to perform. I want you to thank my frienda in Quebec for all they have dene for me," His eye was clear and unflinching, and Iub bearing throughout was such as to leave a sense of admiration, by the absence of any tremor or excitement.

Riel'a picture, framed iu crane, had a French nag for a background, 'lhe other two were prostrate, and each had a drop of sealing-wax on his forehead to represent Kiel's blood. Underneath theae pictures were Freuch inscriptions, signifying "Traitor," "Hangman," ke. There ia a movement on foot to have requiem mass celebrated in all Catholic churches in the provinces next Monday for the repose of Riel'a soul, ' St. Paul, Nov. 10.—The Pioneer Press Winnipeg special states that Jackson, Riel's lieut., who had been confined in a lunatic asylum, escaped across the Hue and wrote a letter to hia sister from St. Vincent, asking her to write Sir John Macdonald begging him to shoot him (Jackson) and spare Riel. This escnpe wns uot disclosed until to-day, Regina, Nov. 10,—No oue waa permitted to enter the guard rooms until 8:12 o'clock. The scene presented then was that of Riel ou the scaffold, with Pero Andre and Father Mc Williams with him celebrating mass, Riel was on his bended knees. He received notice to -proceed on the scaffold in the same composed manner as he had manifested the preceding night on receiving warning of his fate. His face was of full color aud he appeared to have complete self-possession, responding to the service in a clear tone. Tho prisoner decided ouly a moment before starting for the scaffold not to make a speech, owing to the earnest solicitations of both priests attending him, He displayed an inclination at the last moment to make au address, but Pere Andre reminded him of his promise and he walked toward tho executioner, repeating prayers to the last moment. Thc final words escaping him were ■Marci Jesu," He died without a strug- ;le. The executioner was a man named ack Henderson, who had been a captive of Riel's in 71.

Tho Times is not in u position to announce for a certainty the exact spot on which tlioso aro to ho erected. Nevertheless we can state that the wharves are likely to he constructed along the water frontage at Granvillo and extending along tho Inlet toward and beyond tho Hastings mill. Theae will consist of slips running out into the water from the railway track. Covered sheds will be erected on each iuto which a railway track will bo run. They will be of such n capacity that a sea going vessel of 450 feet cun either lie in front or alongside the slip. The warehouses will be of a substantial character. The depot, oltices and other buildings will be located midway betweon Conl Harbor and False Creek; tho Canadian Pacific Hotel, which will be in keeping with everything else belonging to tho company, and excelled by only a few hotels in Canada, will be located about the centre of tho Granville reserve, at a sufficient distance back so thut guosts will not experience the annoyance causod by locomotives whistling, bells ringing and tho general din and hum of heavy traffic. False Creek will be bridged for both railway and other traffic purposes. Tlio company's car shop, repair shops and round house will be located on the easterly cud of their own property. Streets will be opened at once by thu onmpaiiy and graded; blocks of lots will bo indicated by a trail to bo opened; the lols staked so tlint purchasers cnu in speot thoir properly. All this is to be proceeded with nt onao.—Vic.'I'imes. Wall-Street Slim-;. Stock-brokers have a dialect of their own that is caviare to the crowd. Liko the trade-marks and "shop" terms of merchants, it must be explained to bo intelligible to the multitude. It is pithy, pungent, scintillating, and sometimes rank. It precisely characterizes every variation and aspect of the market. A broker or operator is "long of Blocks" when "carrying" or holding them for a rise; "loads" himself by buying heavily, perhaps iu "blocks" composed of any number of shares- say 5000 or 10,000—bought in u lump, and is therefore a "bull," whose natural action is to lower his horns and give things a hoist. Ho "forces quotations" when he wishes to koep up the price of a stock; "balloous" it to a height above its intrinsic value by imaginative stories, fictitious sales, and kindred methods; takes "a flier," or , small side venture, that does not employ his entire capital; "flies kites" when he expands bis credit beyond judicious bounds; "holds the market" when he buys sufficient stuck tu prevent the prico frum declining; "milks tho Btreet" when lie holds certain stocks so skillfully that ho raises or depresses prices at pleasure, and thus absorbs some of the accessible cash iu the street; buys when the "market is sick" from over-speculation* keenly examines "points"—theories ur facts— ou which tu huso speculation; "unloads" whon he sells what has beeu carried fur sumo time; has a "swimming market" when all is buoyant; "spills stock" when ho throws great quantities upon the market, oithor from necessity or to "brentc," I.e., lower the prico. He "saddlcB the market" by foisting a certain stuck upon it, and is "out of" any Btock when liu has sold what he held uf it.—Harper's Magazine, Dr. Perron's Theory. At lirst it was thought thnt cholera was conveyed by the living germ, tho comma bacillus of Koch. Now Dr. Ferrnn is convinced that the infection is produced by a chemical poison, of wliich Koch's bacillus is but the outward and visible sign. Dr. Ferrnn takes the mushroom as an analogous poison. Not only are we injured by thu fresh-authored mushroom of an (inedible species, but, if wo boil these mushrooms till we destroy their shape wo onu still be poisoned either by eating the frngiile'tits or drinking the water in which they have been placed. Further, during the famine in Aragon, the peasants accustomed themselves to uut theae poisonous mushrooms. They only took very small quantities at tirst, and -.'l-ndually obtained immunity from evil eileetf. This is the process which Dr, Furrau uow follows. Hu boils, kilts, and dissi-lvcs the microbes su that their presenco can no l-ui-^ur he detected either by making uultufrOfi with his vaccine nr by placing it under the microscope. Hu trusts h lely to the chemical action nf the folutitm, and suggests that n great futuro presents itself to thc researches of die in in try, which will undoubtedly hu ultini'ituly ulile to recognise and extract tho uutivo principle that really c 'intitule* iho vaccine. Nor is boiling absolutely necessary. If a culture bpitli is closed up iu a vessel a il u.t'titio digestion seta iu and it suun ln'u >mes clear, The microbes are des- l "yed, but the vaccine letnaimi elfee- i)vi-. Ily lliM method auptic poison- in-* can only be llm result of an neui- lli-ll .

Stock-Brokers and their Pay. Generally speaking, brokers are of three classes. Tho first does u regular commission business; never speculates, except on occasions, and succeeds best. The second are the scalpers, who buy and sell in tho hope of making one- eighth or one-quarter of ono per cent, profit. Theso are the physiognomists tf tho institution. Reading tho faces of associates who have largo orders, they buy with the intention of selling to them at a rise. The scalpers aro busiest when there are more brokers than business. Too smart to live, they usually die of pecuniary atrophy. Tho guerrillas are a sub-class of the scalpers, fow in number, and by making specialty of dealing in active stocks have formerly fixed the umavory appellations of "Hell's Kitchen" and "Robbers' Roost" upon certain localities of the floor. The third class is composed of traders in particular stocks, by whose rise and fall they strive to enrich themselves, iu some instances closing contracts overy day. One trader in Northwest for sixteen years is said to havo accumulated n a handsome fortune, Tho ideal broker is cool, imperturbable, unreadable, knowing or accurately guessing the movements of the great operators, able to buy the most stock with thc least fluctuation, covering his tracks in tho execution of a largo order by purchasing in small quantities, and by shrewd selling at the samo time. Washington E. Connor, partner aud broker of Jay Gould, dues presumably the largest brokerage business in tho Exchange. Thc compensation paid to commission brokers ought to bo satisfactory. It is one-eighth of one per cent, upon the purchase and upon tho sale of nil securities other than government bonds, estimated at par value, when made for a pnrty who is uot a member of the Exchange. No business can be done for less thau this rate to non- members. Tho minimum rate charged to members is one-thirty-second of one per cent., except where uno member merely buys or sells for anothor (giving up his principal ou the day of tho transaction), and does not receive or deliver tho stuck, in whicli case the rate must not be less than oue-fiftiotli of one per cent. Tho commission on mining stocks Belling in the market at #5 per share or less ia $3.12i per 100 shares; if at more than 35 and not over $10 per share, @G,25; if mure than 810 per share, $12.50. To members of the Exchange the minimum commission charged is $2 per 100 Bhares. Contracts for a lunger period than three dnys carry six per cent, interest. Any violation, direct or indirect, of these laws—oven the offering to do business at less than these rates is punishable by expulsion from the Exchunge, and sale forthwith by the committee on admissions of the membership of the offender. The commission broker who carries stock for his customer and furnishes most of thu money occasionally charges one-fourth of ono per cent., or $25 per 100 shares. Ten bonds, nt par of $100 each, nro reckoned equivalent to 100 shares, and are subject to the same commissions, What compensation will theso rates afford to brokers 1 For tho yoar ending December 31, 1881, the transactions of the Stock-Exchange are computed to have amounted to $12,810,240,000. Checks fur this enormous amount were drawn and paid. The commissions thereon at one-fourth of one per cent, wuuld be $32,0*10,010; which, divided eduully among 1100 brokers, wuuld give to each the snug littlo sum nf $20,127. This, as related to the cost of his scat, is almost ur quito equal to thc Israelite's "sheet per shunt.' Nut all tho brokers receive this remuneration; some receive Ave or six times us much. Profit is proportioned to sizo of sales und purchases. It is impossible, without possession of an abstract of each broker's business, to accurately estimate the amount uf fictitious sales, or sales on "margins,'' as compared with sales to bona fide investors. It enn not, we judge, bo less, and is probably much more, than one-half of the whole,---Harper's Magazine. Ill SHIPPING & COMMISSION MERCHANT, FROST ST., .
