Washington, April 11.—There is some Interesting gossip concerning a dissension which for some time past litis been agitating the diplomatic corps. Since the Hayti trouble which resulted in the withdrawal of Hon. Stephen Preston ns United States Minister, his position iih dean of the corps devolved upon Baron de Tava, the Italian minister, who, because of his long service in the ofliee was entitled to tbat honor. Baron de Tava, however, is rarely Keen in Washington, j and his continued absence from his post haa developed a feeling "of dissatisfaction among the members of the corps, who have not hesitated to expresBa their Real Estate, INSURANOE -AND- Financial Agents, Purchase, Sell and Lease Property, Collect Bents, Make Loans on Mortgages And transact all business relating to REAL ESTATE.

On various state occasions when the latter had beeen absent the. duties of dean of the corps always devolved upon him. Minister Romeo is a scholarly man, a born diplomat, and is, moreover, a universal favorite iu the corps. The South American faction, as already stated, were particularly dissatisfied with Baron de Tava, and after much parleying on the subject boldly declared a preference for the Mexican minister, declaring that they would regard him and him alone iu future as the head of the body of diplomats. The corps having thus split into two distinct factions, the Europeans decided to return at least an outward show of allegiance to tlie Italian Minister as dean. At this juncture the announcement published that Miss Margaret Blaine would lie married on the 17th inst., and ns daughter of the Secretary of state, the diplomats desired to show their regard .for Mr. Blaine by a handsome present to his daughter, on her wedding day. The plan of each diplomat sending an individual present would have been followed had it not been for Mavorayenl Bey, the Turkish Minister, who conceived the idea of the corps, as a body, giving an ele- elegant present. To this end notes wero sent over requesting from various ministers and secretnrys, a subscription of $10, and the sum of f 600 was thus raised. The South Americans were opposed to subscribing to the general fund, preferring to send an individual present, but they have finally been brought to terms in the matter by the Mexican Minister, who has advised an amicable adjustment of the difficulty by yielding to the wishes of the majority. The latest intelligence is that the sum of $500, being considered inadequate for tlie proposed present, which will probably be of silver, the members of the corps have been asked to double their subscriptions. Stole a March." New York, April 11.—The World's despatch from Augusta, Ga., says: The trial of Mr. 0. E, McGregor, for the murder of J. M. W. Cody, was begun at Warrentown to-day. The defence stole a march ou the prosecution and aston- ished the crowd in attendance hy put ting the prisoner on the stand. A dramatic scene followed. He commenced Ids statement with an explanation to jury that any apparent nervousness on his part was due solely to his long confinement in jail. Stripping himself to the waist he advanced to a position iu front of the jury where he displayed to each the scar made by tbe bullet from Cody's* pistol shot. McGregor's statement was that a negro had been hired by Cody to do tho deed, hut he retracted, whereupon Cody undertook personally to put liim out of the way. He then killed Cody one night in self-defence. Preee Comment!. San Fbancisco, Cal., April 11.—The Chronicle this morning commenting on the fact that Secretary Windom has ordered the prosecution of the Chinese who have been captured in the past few days while endeavoring to smuggle themselves across the Mexican bonier into the United States, says that there Ib still another leak to be stopped upon the British Columbia frontier, but Secretary Windom's action in the south is good evidence of what he will do in the north. The Examiner, also, has au editorial this morning on tho same subject. It says: All signs indicate that tho most serious danger to our exclusion policy is to come from the side of Mexico. The British Columbia leak is bad enough, but there are mitigating circumstances there. The Canadian authorities discourage immigration from China, and the Coolies we are getting are mostly those who had settled in the province before the restrictive policy went iuto effect. But the Mexicans are inviting Chinese over. They are opening their doors and holding out every enticement to their race that does not need to lie enticed. The most alluring inducement of all is one that the Mexicans do. nn* oiwnlv advance K«*-'■'>'*» >"0 Umuuso iKTmnem capable of seeing for themselves. It is the opportunity of drifting across the border into the United States. Tbe editorial concludes as follows: "Let Mr. Blaine negotiate a reciprocity treaty with Mexico with a Chinese exclusion clause in it, and he will find a solid Pacific Coast delegation iu the senate to support him." Hanguiau'i Day. Columbia, S. 0., April 11.—To-morrow will be hangman's day in South Carolina, Three black criminals will suffer for their crimes on the gallows. The most notable of the three is Wm.

One night, as Miss Reese and her little brother were sitting alone In their Krlor at Lexington, the rest of family vlng gone to church, ' * * Sentence Continued. Washington, April 10.—Tho finding of the court martial which tried Lieut. Steele was approved by tho secretary of war to-day. Steele is reprimanded and sentenced to confinement for three months in the limit of Ids post. A Complete Mystery. San Francisco, April 10.—Capt. Chns. Small! of the schooner Czar, just returned from the Alaska stations of the Mc- Collum Fishing nnd Trading Co., reports that in February last three whaleboats came ashore ou the south side of Sakak Islands, Alaska. Two of tlie boats were smashed to pieces, hut tbe third was iu perfect order and to all appearances had just beeu launched. Tbe fact that no whaling vessels were in that vicinity either fii January or February makes tho presence of the boats there a complete mystery, The New Liner* Nbw Yobk, April 10.—The new White Star liner, Majestic, passed Sandy Hook last night at 8 o'clock and arrived at the dock at 7:30 this morning. Capt. Pearsall says heavy head winds were the feature of the entire voyage. The distances covered daily wero: April 8, 420miles; 4th,444miles; 5th,407miles; Oth, 412miles; 7th, 455 miles; 8th, 471 miles; 7th, 167 miles. J"he passenger list shows 050 steerage, Ira second-class and 00 saloon passengers. Time, 0 days 10 hours. _ The ran-American Congreii. Washington, April 10.—It was learned to-day from the very best possible authority, that the Pan-American confess would adjourn sine die on next Jonday or Tuesday. Nearly all the important questions that were to have como before tbe congress have been settled with the exception of fixing upon an international monetary system, definitely, but that will be adjusted within the next few days. The questions that have been settled relate to international law, patents and trade marks, monetary relations, uniform measures aud weights, aud railroads. Perhaps the report upon tlie last named subject attracted most attention. It assumes tlie feasibility of an international line between North and South America, recommends the appointment of an international commission to agree upon details, recommends subsidies from the various governments to be benefited, and assures freedom of traffic by a declaration that the line is to be forever neutral. Several companies have already been organized to carry out the suggestions of tho congress, aud a bill for a Pan-American railway lias been introduced in the Houso of Representatives.

The Royal Chaplain Declared Innocent of the Charge Laid by a London Washerwoman. Prngreie of the Malcolm 1*1 ami Colony Scheme. The Victoria Times of Wednesday last, says: Among the arrivals in the city1 last night was Mr. .7. S. Buchanan, of Rugby, England, who has come out in the interest of the proposed Temperance Co-operative Commonwealth on Malcolm Island. Although very little lias beeu Heard about the matter of late, Mr. F. Joseph Spencer, the energetic secretary, has not been idle. Ou tbe contrary, the scheme has developed so far that Messrs. Spencer and Buchanan will go north ou the next trip of the steamer Boscowitz with the full complement of machinery for a sawmill. The mill which it is proposed to erect will have a capacity of 80,000 feet per tlay and will be supplied with band saw, planer, edger, and other appliances necessary to the manufacture of all kinds of wooden goods. Tbe first step taken will be to erect this mill and a wharf, after which lumber will be sawed for houses, the land prepared for cultivation, and cattle and sheep placed on tbe island preparatory to settlement. The first contract for the mill is the manufacture of 10,000 salmon cases for tho Skeena River canneries. There arc at present a number of men and their families ou their way out from England for the colony. For these Mr. Spencer wlll endeavor to secure work In the city till such time ns matters have developed sufficiently at Malcolm Island to enable them to take up their residence there. Each colonist will require to have a little means to begin with, lu order to give the colony about a year to get in a fair way of making a living. Those now on their way will be followed by others later on, among whom a number of domestic servants will be brought out. The manufacture of dogfleh oil will \>v. o-.gugeu in largely hy Hie colony, Messrs. Dunsiuuir having agreed to purchase all that it can produce. Subscriptions in furtherance of the scheme have bean fairly numerous during tho past few months. Mr. Spencer, the honorary secretary, has arranged with MayoV Grant to receive any help of this kind at the City Hall, and for an audit of tbe books after the money has been paid out. The locality of Malcolm Island Is about :\'10 miles north of Victoria. It Is about 12 miles in length and 2 miles in width, and will, it is expected, support a colony of 400 families.

HAmhuro, April 1L—The Hamburg- American Steainsliip Co. has decided to-day to send their giant steamships from Tilbury Port; at tho mouth of the Thames, instead of from Hamburg. This service will commence iu November next. The London Seuaatlon. London, April 11.—Everybody is talking to-night about the perplexing situation of Rev. Henry White, chaplain of the House of Commons, chaplain to the Queen anil pastor of the famous Chapel Royal, Savoy. Mr. White has officiated at many notable American weddings here. A washerwoman named Eliza Wilson was arrested a few days ago while trying to pawn a handsome gold watch which had an inscription on the case showing tbat it was given to Mr. White 20 yearB ago by hia congregation at Savoy Chapel. The woman, who was badly frightened, said the. man who owned the watch bad met her on the street, hud gone with her to a private room in a tavern and after staying there an hour had hnrried away to catch the train leaving the watch on tbe table. The case camo up for trial to-day. While everybody expected an unusual sensation it was bushed up and the hearing disposed of in a remarkably quiet manner. Mr. White explained the loss of the watch by saying that it was stolen from him while he was asleep in an underground train. He denied all knowledge of the girl, though she repeatodly contracdicted. She' swore that her story was true, and positively identified the dominie, who is a mun of marked personal characteristics, whom few people could forget bnvingonce seen. However, the magistrate dismissed the case, saying that while the girl's story as to bow she got tho watch might be perfectly true sbe was probably mistnk n in so identifying Mr. White. Tbe magistrate said be had not the least doubt tbat the clergyman was robbed in a railway carriage. Another thing tho magistrate dismissed the girl, us he did not think any jury would convict her. He returned tho watch to Mr. White who beaming moat affably on the magistrate, left the court. He was seen soon after conversing with the defendant's lawyer in tbe corridors. Recovering. London, April 11.—General Lord Abin- gcr, who married Miss Helena Magruder, daughter of Commodore Magrudor, U. S. Navy, and who was reported to be seriously injured by being run over by a brewer's cart on Monday, is rapidly recovering. The Vienna Itloti. London, April 10.—Tbo utter inability of tho Vienna police to cope with the riots has called forth a general -howl of indignation from the respectable classes, whose helpless situation against the fury of the mob is thus revealed. Count Von Toofc, the President of tho Ministerial Council and Minister of the Interior, also comes in for a liberal share of public execration aud censure for not calling out the military and promptly suppressing the disorder. This neglect is made more conspicuous by the fact that tbere are 40,000 troops in the city whoso sorvicos could havo been made available within half an hour. Tbe disturbance has now subsided, but there are grave fours of a renewal of the rioting on May 1st, whon a general holiday among the'.workingmen will bo observed and meetings will be held to agitate tbe question of shorter hours and more pay. Stanley Interviewed. London, April 10.—Henry M. Stanley, in an interview at Briudisi to-day, said that ho did not believe that Emin Pasha would make any attempt to recover tho equatorial province ho formerly governed. To recover the province, ho said, an immense effort would be necessary, greater indeed than the results would justify, and hard fighting would be necessary to eject the Mahdisto. He expressed himself astounded at tho territorial pretensions of Germany, which apparently claimed the whole of Africa. Tbe Germans could secure the services of Tippo Tip if tbey wero willing to pay his price. Under pressure of persistent questioning Stanley disclosed an Important fact which he said ho bad intended to reveal only iu his forthcoming book. It is the fact that the Aruwimi forest bolongs exclusively to tho Congo State and is enormously richer hi everything than the Amazon forests. This is especially true with regard to rubber, and tho Aruwimi region will become tlio rubber reservoir of the universe- Utile Ina|ilrntlnii.

Mr. Speaker took the chair at 2.10 p. in. Prayers by Rev. Dr. Rcid. At the request of Hon. Mr. Beaven, Hon. Mr. Duvie withdraw a number of amendments which he proposed to make to the Municipal Act. Hon. Mr. Davie moved to insert a clause in the act so as to provide for the (aire of those who aro here a few days ago, bringing with him several of tho Mongolian ball players, who were engaged iu New York and San Francisco." a number of the Chinese havo boon two seasons on the diamond, nnd havo become skillful players.

It Is Mr. Buell'B intention to give an exhibition game lu Victoria on May 10th, and after that date his nines will be open to play any of tho local clubs match gamo for any sum. Ho will remain horo with his company of Chinese till about tho 17th of May and thon leave for the east, whoro he oxpects to reap a harvest with his Oriental ball players.—Colonist, Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. Columbia only a small part of the Province is so governed. If such a measure as that now proposed were offered for his consideration, supposing the Province to be in the same condition as Ontario, he would think twice about it. Hon. Mr. Beaven referred in stirring terms to the advantages ottered by the Convalescent Home. There were many men there who had been inmates of that iiome for years, and rightly so, as they had done their best for the Province. Under the circumstances he did not think the proposed change in the act Hon. Mr. Robson said that tbe Convalescent Houso hud never been intended as a poor house for paupers, whether sick or not. He explained the object for which the Jubilee Hospital aud tho Incurable Hospital were intended. It w_ts proper to do in this as was done in other civilized countries in reference to making provision for the accommodation of the destitute, poor and sick. Speaker ordered tho discussion to stop after it had raged fiorcely for nearly three-quarters of an hour. The bill was put (fowu for consideration on Monday next. lion. Mr. Vernon moved the second reading of the Rivers and Streams Bill. He said tho Bill explained -itself to a great extent. In many streams of the Province there were many obstructions such as shallows, snags', etc., which seriously hindered navigation and the lumbering industrv. These streams are therefore not used to the degree that they would did those hindrances not exsist, aud this act makes provision for facilitating the removal of those impediments. Some discussion followed and was participated in by all the members interested in the lumbering industrv. Bill read a. second time, and will be committed on Friday. Mr. Cunningham asked the Hon. Provincial Secretary if any replv had been received from the Dominion House in reference to the resolution regarding the subsidy for a tri-weekly mail service between Westminster and Victoria, sent some time ago. Hon. Mr. Robson replied that he had received n treply, but tbat it wbb of a most unsatisfactory character. It was purposed to cut down the mail service between Westminster and Victoria to once a week, if that was found necessary by the Postmaster-General. The reply of tho Dominion Government would be laid before the House without the formality of a notice of request. Hou. Mr. Davio moved the second reading of the bill to reduce the opium license fee, in other than city municipalities, to |60 for every six months. Bill rend a second time and committed, Mr. Cunningham iu the chair. Bill reported complete with amendments. House went into committee on the message and bill in reference to grants of. land iu aid of certain railways, Mr. Thompson iu tbe chair. Hon. Mr. Robson shortly explained that thiB measure was for the puruoee of assisting four railroads chartered by this House—the Crow's NeBt Railway, the Canada Western, Ashcroft A Cariboo, and the Farwell A Nelson Rail- ayB. The proposal was to grant 20,000 acres per mile in alternate blocks to each railway, and also to allow the railway companies to collect a royalty of not more than 5 per ccut on all gold and silver ores taken by quartz mining out of tbo land granted to them. Hon. Mr. Beaven talked interestingly, but lengthily, on the Importance of this measure to the Province and the valuable benefits likely to flow from tbe same.The bill was reported to the House, read a first time nnd the honorable the Premier moved the socond reading. In doing so ho dilated upon the vast importance of opening up the country through which thoso railways would be laid. The bill was read a second time and committed, Mr. Duck in the chair. Corn- rose nnd reported progress and asked leave to sit again. Mr. Ladner asked the Hon. the Chief Commissioner of Lauds and Works the following question: Has the road leading from the North Arm bridges northerly to the Granville street bridge, Vancouver City, been gazetted as a public highway? If not, is it tho intention of the Government to gazette the same at once? ' Hon. Mr. Vernon said the road had not yet been gazetted, but the intention was to do so at the earliest possible date. Houso adjourned at 5:40 p. in. until 2 p.ni. next day. Mr. Cunningham will move on Monday next; Wboreaa a resolution praying the Lieutenant-Governor to call the attention of the Dominion Government to the mission iu the estimates of the current year of the appropriation for a subsidy for carrying Her Majesty's mails between the ports of Westminster and Victoria was unanimously adopted, in this bouse ou 18th February, and whereas said resolution wua duly transmitted by His Honor, aud a reply has been received and presented to this house; and whereas it appears from the tenor of said reply that the Dominion Government had not fully understood the nature and extent the inconvenience and serious commercial loss that must bo sustained to settlers and those engaged iu various industrial enterprises on the Fraser river, between Westminster aud the Gulf of Georgia by the discontinuance of said mail subsidy service, and whereas the opinion of this house is that the first duty of the Dominion Government is to encourage and foster tho develop* incut of agriculture lumbering, fishing and mining throughout tlio province by affording ample mail facilities, irrespective of apparent teuqHirary loss to the revenue of the post office department. Ho it therefore resolved that a bumble address be presented to the Lieutenant- Governor, praying him to further urge upon the Dominion Government the pressing necessity of maintaining the tri-weekly mail service between the ) prov: ICK, (lc Hick, destitute and homeless in municipalities. Many of those people have worked hard all their lives for tho bone- fit of tho Province, and the Province owes them a homes. The matter was laid over until the next dny. Mr. Grant iu spoakingon this question said that those who Mere disabled aud sick always gravitated to the cities, whoro they knew thoy would receive better medical treatment and care than thoy could expect lu the rural districts. It was well-known that many of those people went to New Westminster and Victoria for this medical assistance, coming all the way from Cariboo and Kdbtonay; nnd it was a very just provision that looked to the giving of thoso helpless wanderers a homo. The conditions wore very dillerent in Ontario to what thoy were here iu this Province. Nearly evory township in Ontario Ib under municipal law, but in British aforesaid ports. DOMINION PARLIAMENT. Ottawa, April 10.—In the Senate today Senator Mclnnes introduced a bill legalizing standard time. Tho Mormon question was ventilated to-night. The House took up Sir John Thompson's bill to amend the Criminal law. Polygamy is included in the Hat of offences. Mr. Blake said that the Mormon Bottlers iu the Canadian Northwest form n dangerous element and urged that their abominable practices should be suppressed.

THE WEEKLY COLUMBIAN ISSUED EVERY WEDNESDAY UORNIHO. One Year 12 00 SixMonths THE DAILY OOLUMBIAN • FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 11, 1890. A TtlDICULOUS ORGAN. For about two weeks now, without missing nn issue, the Vancouver iYt'ie* has been trying hard to earn its wages by pitching into the proposed electric railway guarantee, and,with true shyster instinct, bitting below tbe belt, butting with the head, kicking, biting aud all manner of fouling has been freely indulged in. From the first the News has endeavored to convey the impression that with the Government solely rested the question of granting or refusing (he guarantee asked, and one screed was devoted to an admonitory address to the Premier, after the manner of a Papal bull, threatening all the pains and penalties of a political Gehenna, unless the unfortunate leader of the Government refuses to allow the guarantee, Again, just the other day, when it suited its purpose, wishing to make a point against somo of its coteinporaries, this journalistic ubsurdity, forgetting all its assumptions and charges, made the stupid " break" contained iu the following sentence; " Taking the cue furnish- " ed by those who manipulate them, " they (the journals that have favored " the guarantee) have sought to delude " the people with the idea that the " scheme was a Government measure, " and that In attacking these raiders on ".the public treasury we are opposing "theaction of the Provincial Govern " incut." How simple, guileless, and withal incoherent and inconsistent, the organ of monopoly really is. In tho same article tlie News dapped both wings over the fact " that tlie recognized organ " of the Provincial Government, the " Colonist, has maintained absolute " silence on the subject." Both of the quotations above are from* Wednesday's News, Tlie very next Coionitt that appeared—Thursday1! contained a well considered and written article on the guarantee subject, the first few sentences of which rend: Tbe application that has been made to tbe Legislature for guarantees by the Victoria and New Westminster Tramway Companies appears to us to be quite reasonable. There is nothing inconsistent with the general policy of the Government iu giving these companies what they ask. The roads which they purpose to open are for the benefit of the public. They will do much to develop the parts of the country through which they run and to Increase the prosperity of the cities which are their termini. The rest of tho article, which we re gret we have not space to quote, is in the same strain—a dispassionate aud reasonable argument iu favor of the guarantees throughout. But that does not bother the News a bit. So well does the wriggling motion become it, from much practice, thut it is tho simplest thing in tho world for the "boss" contortionist to forget its utterance of two days previous, that the Colonist is the "recognized organ of the " Provincial Government," and to say that the article in that paper was written by a "prentice baud," tbat "the " Colonist thought it would be a kindly " act to damn with faint praise the " struggles of the promoters of these " schemes," etc, and that that journal had merely "entered an appearance in " court for the sake, not of the Goveru- " luent hut of Us'late proprietor.'"What idiotic rubbish I But, compelled, as it appears to be, to "make bricks without " straw" for its hard taskmasters, the News has utterly lost its head, and its continual stultification of itself is not, therefore, to be wondered at. What attention does it expect either the Government, the Legislature, or the public to pay to Its obviously interested and insane haverings? PARK IMPROVING. Ou a readers have doubtless followed with the Interest thev deserve the letters which from time to time have been published in these columns from our Victoria correspondent. His remarks relating to Beacon Hill are interesting to the people of Westminster, possessing ns we do public parks capable of affording the present aud future generations most beneficial and pleasurable resorts, if only we are awake to the easy possibility of making the most of sites of wondrous beauty. Already much has been done for Queen's Park, and that which has been done is just sufficient to whet the appetite for a further instalment of improvements. Those of our citizens who were on Beacon Hill on the Queen's Birthday last year, and who have taken the pains to note the rapid changes which have been carried out there since that time, will, we believe, agree tbat a very great deal has been done by the city of Victoria to make Beacon Hill Park one of the most beautiful recreation grounds upon this side the Atlantic, " A thing of bi'inity mid n joy for ever." We do not know what the laying out of tbe shaded walks, the carriage drives and the pretty lakes has cost in hard cash, but we are sure that every cent expended in the maintenance of what Is naturally so beautiful a spot as Victoria's park admittedly is, will return an incalculable percentage, perhaps not in dollar btfhi but Otrtninly In more health and vigor torihoae who will flock, after tiw" "corkingflares" of bushiest), to ' bWJrtbfl the free sen breezes as tbey "tHow over tho land. And what has been done In twelve months for Beacon Hill, can bo done for Queen's Park too. Tho well designed plana, which many of our citizens saw exhibited in tbe window of Mr, Curtls's store last fall, have only to bo carried out to render our East End park and re' creation grounds the most delightful pleasure resort of the mainland. Those plans nre certainly not elaborated to an extraordinary degree, but the execution of them, as far as possible, this summer would, we believe, benefit Westminster to an extent which at present we can hardly appreciate. Until last summer, our city, beautiful beyond compare as she Is, lacked a good park and recreation grounds. Thanks to the energy of her citizens, that reprovach no longer holds good, but at the same time It must be borne In remembrance that Westminster, "the Royal City," owes it to her dignity that her breathing spots should be second to none In point of care and attention, as they are second to none for beauteoua situation. On the recommendation of the Park Committee, the Council took steps at its last meeting, Monday night, iu relation to the parks and pleasure grounds of the City, for which both are to be commended. A competent salaried park- keeper and overseer was appointed to take permanent charge of Queen's Park and tbe other pleasure grounds, and to direct as to details of improvement and ornamentation, and contracts were let for the erection of a park-keeper's lodge and hot-house, for the construction of the two wings required to finish the exhibition building, and also for a much needed neat and ornamental fence fronting on Park Lane, Instead of tbe present temporary and ill-looking board affair. After these very desirable and necessary improvements have been provided for, there will remain nearly three thousand dollars of the amount provided by by-law for expenditure this year on Queen's Park, A part of this sum will he required for increasing tho accomodation of the stock yards in connection with the exhibition grounds, and the remainder will be devoted to improving the race course and recreation grounds and beautifying and ornamenting the grounds and park generally. Thus gradually, year by year, accomplishing something, eacli year towards the object, the City will soon have a park—a pleasure and health resort- whlch her citizens, rich and poor, old and young, alike, will be able to enjoy as they could enjoy nothing else, and to which they will be able to point with pride to the many admiring visitors which the park itself will have no Binall share in attracting to and retaining in tho City. Not only Queen's Park will be improved this year, but the beautifully situated public pleasure ground known as the Crescent—on which work has already been commenced—and Moody Square will also have its share of attention, pursuant to the provisions of the by-laws passed for those purposes last year; and we are glad to note that the Park Committee and the Council are getting at the work early. This will insure it being done more cheaply than if it were left until late in the season, as was necessary last year, and then hurried through, when contractors and workmen would be overcrowded with other work. The question of time is especially important in connection with the improvements at Queen's Park and on the ex- exhibition buildings nnd grounds, In view of the grand Provincial Exhibition to be held again this fall at the same plnce. It is well known that, in spite of some unforseeu nud unavoidable drawbacks last year, the accommodation in both buildings and yards was barely sufficient for the exhibits. This year, when the enlargements and improvements projected aud contemplated have been carried out, the accommodation will be just about double in both of the respects mentioned, and all arrangements will be fuller and more complete than before, so that exhibitors throughout the Province, in the agricultural and Various other departments, can make their calculations for displaying their produce or wares on a grander scale than ever. It is safe to predict even now that, with the preparation that is being mado and will be made by the people of Westminster, the Provincial Exhibition at this City this fall will far excel last year's really brilliant success, and the Park improvements will be a most important factor this year, as they wero last, towards that desirable end, Bell-Irving, Patterson 6c Co.

The land is high and dry, and the soil is first-class.

(Jity wis i.e.. ur Edinburgh Street, along the North Arm road, have doubled in value in less than a year, while aore tracts have, in the same time, in some instances more than trebled. When the proposed extension of Columbia Street to the Westerly City Boundary is completed, the North Arm will become the best suburban section of the City. Moreover, it is confidently expected by many that the route of the Electric Railway to Vancouver will traverse this section. Our shrewdest speculators are realizing the possibilities of this portion of the City, and the many sales of acre property in the vicinity recently, indicate that land in the direction of the North Arm is looked upon as one of the best places for investment in the District.

Down on State street yesterday after- noon a well-fed merchant stopped a »• porter and said: "I say, young man, do you ever try to correct public nuisances?" "Oh, yes!" said the young man with a pleased smile. "Well, then, why don't you say something about those fools that go about whistling perpetually? I went to bed late last night completely worn out, and I was waked at an unnaturally early hour this morning by an infernal idiot who thought he could whist1*. 'Annie Laurie' to tho tune of 'Auld Lang Syne.' I came down to breakfast and found my little boy whistling 'Down WentMc- Ointy to tho Bottom of the Sea.' Where in the world that child ever learned that outlandish melody is more than I can understand. I said to my wife, in my intense wrath: 'Maria, if that boy ever whistles again in my presence I'll send him to a reform school.' There was an exchange of words between us, and tho result was a scene, a crying spell, a spoiled breakfast and a wrathful departure. I got on the oar, and an impertinent imp on tho back platform greeted me with the distorted strains of 'Home, Swoet Home.1 I got off the car and walked down to tho ofllce, and it scemod to mo that every body on the street was whistling. "By the time I reached the office thero was a mudley ot whistles in nn bruin—tho shrill whistle, the rasping whistle, the loud basB whistle, tlie boy's disjointed treble, and the maiiN hideously smooth whistle, tbe flfe-lila scream, and the long-drawn, hollow sound of the flute. Oh, it was maddening! 1 took the elevator, and the bo\ that carried mo up was making a sibi hint noise through his teeth. I glare--' at him savagely, and he turned whi- and looked startled. He afterward to; my ofllco boy 'that his jaga is ratty thi. monilnV Well, whon Igot intotheofli* my boy said: 'Good morning, Mr. So-an-1- So,' and wont on, softly whistling I' himself: 'I Had Fifteen Dollars in Mi Inside.Pocket* 'Boy!' I cried, will nil the rage of a man whom desperat* injury had driven to madness, 'Boy, it you don't step whistling in this office ) will throw you down the elevator shaft, and send your mangled remains home to your mothor, with my best compliments.' He stopped. "lt wasn't very long, however, before a customer came in to see me on business. I said with my most gracious smile: 'If you will kindly wait a moment, Mr. Blank, I shall be at liberty.' lie sat down for a moment, arose in- atuntly, strolled over to tho window, thrust his hands into his pockets una whistled softly: 'Two Lovely Blaok Eyes.' The office boy grinned. 1 wheeled about and suid, with bit toi-ness in my heart and a smile on my lips: 'Mr. Blank, I will see you now. l'ur God's sake, young man, call tho at tention of the public to tho horrors u. indiscriminate whistling."—Boston Herald. AN EXPENSIVE SHAVE. What John Jacob Alitor, Jr., Wal Com- I-ftUed to i'ny Kin Harder, Young John Jacob Astor, Jr., perhaps tho richest youth in the L'nited States, it would seem, from an incident that oc curred in u barber-shop the other day lucks that closeness in money matter:- Umt stood his grandfather in such goov stead when ho bo-fan the fortune thai the boy is now spending. The burbi" that shaved Mr. Astor Is romarkabli In his weird appreciation of ethics. Ht would deal honestly with men of ordinary moans, but ho has an abnormal socialistic idea that tho millionaire Is legitimate prey for him. Therefore he resolved to got a vory large price for -.having young Mr. Astor if he could manage it. After finishing his work In- brushed Mr. Astor's coat for him with great cure and held out his hand for tho bill that the millionaire was extrical ing from a fat roll. It is ono of Mr. Astor's habits to pay for small items out of one huge roll of bills. Tho barber passed across tho room to his cash drawer and then, returning, handed to Mr. Astor two pieces of silver. The rich youth looked at the money and then at tbe barber. "Wh-wh-wh*y, what's this?" he said. "Change for the dollar you gave me, sir," responded tho barber. "But, cawnfound it, I gave you a twenty-dollar bill." "Oh, no, sir," said tho barber. "Only a one. Look at my drawer if you like, and you'll sco there is nothing larger than a one there." - ■ Several of young Astor's friends wero with him and so he did not care to discuss such a vulgar question as money. Ho mado up hi? mind that It was a dol- . lur he had gi von up, and jammed his hat down ovor his ears and went for a walk | on the avenue. The barber tells about his getting 81U.80 for a shave. "And I'd take a hundred off that I young fellow it I oould," says he.

I Tha Kof llsh Yard and the French Meter -Which ll tbe BfltterT In the United States and England the | standard of length Is the yard, and the question arises: How long is a yard? It I may be said in answer that a yard is simply an arbitrary standard which tradition says is based upon the length of the arm of Henry VIII. At present tho yard Is tho distance between two marks upon a certain bar, kept In the Tower of i London, andlf lt should be destroyed the exact standard could never be replaced. | To avoid this uncertainty, and obtain a ' fixed and unvarying standard, tho I French, in the last oontury, mado an oc- I curate measurement of a quadrant ot 'the earth's elroumforonee, and tak- Ling the ten-millionth part of this [ distanoe, gave it the name of meter, | and adopted it as the standard of | length. This length, which Is equal I to about 89.37 inches, is now In unl- | versa! i.se on the continent of Eu- I rope, and is authorized as a legal stand- lard In nearly all civilized countries. ■ Considerable dlsousslon has arisen as to | whotbor the original measurement was lerfeotly accurate, and it sooms probable Ithat there was a small error, so that if ■the standard meter now kept In Paris phould bo destroyed, a romeasuroment bf the quadrant of the earth would not blvo usexaotly the same .meter. How- Ivor, the error in any case Ib a very binute one, and the chances are very nail that the original standard will Ivor be destroyed, to say nothing of the tact thatthe numerous copies distributed Vroong the various nations of the world jo not appreciably differ from it—Popular Science News.

Tlie re-distribution bill will be laid before the house on Monday next. ThiB wns the news conveyed to the house yesterday hy the Hon. John Robson, and from this moment, until the bill Ib made public the air will be filled with all sorts of conjectures on the subject. Stories are afloat of serious dissensions in the Government party over the bill, but the truth or falsity of these will only lie proved on Monday. Two prisoners, Edward Urquhart and Henry Purcell, awaiting sentence for larceny, broke jail at Vancouver on Wednesday night and have not been recaptured. They cut a hole through the Inch boards that composed the flooring and crawled below. They then dug away the earth mid made a tunnel under the silt of the building large enough to wrigggle through. Apparently ossFb- tance had been given by parties ou the outside. The weigh scales which the Council decided some weeks ago to furnish the city with, have been ordered and will arrive within a few days. The woodwork has been ordored from Messrs.

The plans of the new Bcale nre in possession of Aid, Johnson, who showed them to a Columbian representative to-day. They have a double beam, will weigh six tons and aro first-clasB In every respect. The committee has been very prompt in attending to this matter. A Foul Murder. AVhileonhis road home from Fort Douglas, Captain Pittendrigh was summoned to Langley to hold an inquest on the body of an Indian woman whose death had occurred very suddenly, or at least under suspicious circumstances. It iB reported, but without good authority, that the woman had been outraged, and death caused by the injuries received during the assault. What truth there is in this report conld not be learned today. [Since writing the above it has been learned from Capt. Pittendrigh that the woman, who was between 80 and 00 yeara of age, came to her death by a terrible kick, or a blow from a clubj on side of the head. The jury brought in a verdict of murder by aome porson or persons unknown.] , »—_»,—„ Assisting tha Council. Some very kind and obliging individual, wishing to aBBist the Council in the matter of wiping out the old hospiral buildings, came within an ace of earning a sentence in the penitentiary on Wednesday night.- ThiB unknown per- bou repaired to. the above named buildings on the night mentioned, armed with a can of coal oil, and was about to set the place on fire when discovered by tho watchman. Leaving the oil behind the would-be incendiary fled with the watchman in close pursuit, but the former was fleet of foot and easily escaped. Unfortunately there is no means of identifying the man, as the night wns dark and the watchman had no opportunity of getting a close look at him. No matter what the intentions of the man were, or however worthy the feelings thnt incited him to burn the buildings, it should be borne in mind that tlie act of burning or attempting to bum property in thiB manner is felony, and tlie punishment for such is very severe. If the City Council wishes the buildings destroyed it will probably accomplish its object in a perfectly legal manner, and without the aBsiatance of volunteer fire bugs. ■ '■- »' »—♦ i■- i The Oannera* Position. General surprise has been expressed that the canners have not taken advantage of the great run of spring salmon and commenced packing operations. In other years when the spring run has not been nearly so good many of the canneries had commenced packing before this time, more for the purpose of getting their staff together for the season than for the profits made from the product. On being interviewed on this subject, several prominent cannerymen gave as their reason for not commencing work that the conditions on which they are allowed fishing licenses nre considered by the packers generally to be so unfair that they do not intend' packing the spring run. Furthermore they will not take out licenses at the fee fixed by the Government, nnd they will pack the sockeye run without licenses if in the meantime the fee has not been made equal in all cases. The cannerymen sir they do not object to paying $20 foreacl license, but Insist everyone should be treated alike, packers, freezers and fishermen. The will maintain a solid front against discrimination, and nre confident that in the end their demands will be granted. This is how matters stand at present nnd no change may be expected till tho sockeye run comes to hand. . » m «■■■■■. The Early Bird. Mr. W. H. Vianen is well-known as an early riser, in fact he is credited with being ahead of the lark every morning iu the 365 duys which constitute a year, except of course, during those periods of illness that he, the same as all mankind, is subject to. Had Mr. Vianen not been an early riser he and his large family might have ben homeless to-day. About 5:30 o'clock this morning, whiio doing some work in the llsh house, opposite his premises on Front street, he saw a very bad-looking Chinaman walking down the street. Attracted by the man's suspicious movements Mr. Vianen drow back and just watched him, and this is what ho saw.. The Chinaman first took a good look about to see that no one waB in sight, and then passed quietly into the alley alongside Mr. Vianen'B store. A moment later he emerged from the alley, took another look about and then went back again. Thinking all this meant something serious, Mr. Vianen rushed across the street, entered the alley and seized the Celestial, at the same time sounding an alarm for the police. In a few moments Constable Anderson appeared on the scene and tho prisoner waB searched. A package of gum stick was found on him, and Mr. Vianen feels certain that the man intended to fire his building for the purpose of robbery. The Chinaman, whose name is Ah Fook, is well known to tho police as an old offender, having served several terras for various crimes. As no other direct charge could be laid, he waB accused of vagrancy, and the police magistrate sentenced him to three months in gaol with hard labor. MYSTERIOUS DEATH. Children Cry for Pitcher's Cattorli] An Aged Couple Disappear From Happer- ton, aud the Woman U Found Drowned. Shortly after noon yesterday a young man named Ankers, a Dane or Swede, reported to Chief of Police Pearce that his father and mother had left their home at Sapperton on Wednesday evening and had not been heard of since. Ankers related that the old couple lived with him and his wife, they having como to the country together some inontliB ago. The domestic relations of the family wore not very pleasant, and it is thought this had something to do with the old couple leaviug the house. At 6:30 o'clock laBt evening Chief Peace received a telephone message from the Ross-McLaren Mills, stating that the body of an old woman had been found on .the river bank about a quarter of a mile above the mills. The chief reported the matter to Mr. Moresby, and they went out immediately to investigate. The body had been found by an employe of the mills, who made it fast to a stump and then reported the facts to the police by telephone. The investigation showed that the body had been in the water for some hours at least, but not for more than a day at moat. It had been cast up by the tide on the bank and left there when the water receded. Chief Pearce easily identified the body as that of the missing Mrs. Ankers, and hud it removed to a safe place ponding the inquest. The old man is still missing, and it is generally thought that he, too, is drowned. Various opinions are circulated as to the cause of the sad affair, but the one that finds most credence is that the old couple tired of life and family dissension, suicided together to escape further trouble, looking to death to bring tho peace not to be found in life. John Ankers, the son of the missing man waa Been by a representative of The Columuian this afternoon. He says that lie has provided for his father and mother for the last 10 years. The former was 80 years of ago, and iu his dotage; the latter 67 years old and a very childish croBS-tempered woman. Some five months ago ho and hiB wife prepared to remove from Shawano, Wis., to British Columbia, and the old people declared that if left behind they would suicide. In consequence of this Ankers brought them with him. There had been no disagreement in the family till two months ago, when the old couple seemed to grow despondent, more particularly on account of not being able to converse with any one iu their native language, Danish, and also from imagining that they were not wanted by the young people. Several times lately they threatened suicide, but no attention was paid to these sayings as they had been repeated bo frequently. Both Mr. and Mra. Ankers feel terribly bad over the Bad affair. Capt. Pittendrigh returned from Langley thiB afternoon and left immediately for the Ross-McLaren Mills to hold the inquest. A search for the body of the old mun will be instituted. arrived last summer and followed woodcutting for a livelihood. He was a young man of industrious habits and had many friends. Four days later a report reached Juneau that another boat containing Charles Laul and B. McCabe had also been lost with both her passengers. There are hopes that tho latter may- be saved, the steamer Lone Fisherman having been at once dispatched to their rescue. Young Perelval'a Death. Mr. W. Moresby returned yesterday from his trip to Fort Douglas to investigate the death of young Percival, the trader's sou, who was shot while hunt ing about 5 weeks ago. Capt. Pittendrigh also returned with Mr. Moresby but was summoned to Langley to hold an inquest on an Indian woman whose death had occurred very suddenly and under Buapicious circumstances. The Bitrty had a very rough trip to Fort ouglas, but got there safely without accident. The boy who was with Percival when the latter met his death, was found, and willingly related the manner in which tho accident occurred. It appears that Percival was springing from rock to rock on the mountain side with the rifle on his shoulder, aud coming to a place where the descent was steep lie placed the butt of the weapon on tlie ground, holding tho muzzle by the left hand. By some means the rifle was discharged, and the bullet entered young Pcrcival's arm just above the elbow, passed up the shoulder, glanced off the shoulder blade into the lungs, then underneath the heart and lodged in the back. Mr. Moresby disinterred the body and held the post mortem examination which revealed the course of the bullet as above stated. Capt Pittendrigh held an inquest, at which all the evidence procurable was given, and the jury brought iu a verdict of "accidental death." One of the most interesting items in the evidence waa given by Mr. Moresby. In examining the rifle he discovered that the trigger guard had been Indented by some hard substance. Taking the boy for a guide Mr. Moresby climbed the mountain and inspected the exact spot whero the accident occurred. On close examination ho found a bruise in tho rock which corresponded iu height with the position of the trigger guard, and made plain the cause of tne Indention in the metal. Tho bruise was fresh, while the remainder of the rock was discolored from exposure to the weather. Several littlo incidents occurred on the trip which served to relieve the monotony. Tlie weather -was very stormy on the trip up the lake, nnd on two occasions jurymen were knocked overboard by the sail jibbing when trying to make a landing. Wet blankets, wet beds and wet weather all added together made the trip anything but pleasant, hut on the whole the party stood the trip wonderfully well and returned homo none the worse of their rough experiences.

Interesting Hatch nf Northern New*.— A Long Winter.—Drowning Accident. The steamship George W. Elder, which arrivedat Port Town Bend on Tuesday brought advices from Alaska to April 2nd. The round trip was made in 12 days. Onboard the steamer were three prisoners iu charge of an officer. They are under sentence of the district court at Sitka to terms in the California penitentiary. Winter still holds on in Alaska and mining operations are delayed in consequence. Prospectors at Juneau are patiently waiting for the snow to disappear so thev can start out. Work on the Benr Nest has been temporarily suspended and will not be resumed until the ground is clear of snow. The rush to the Yukou is not so grent ns during previous years since its discovery. Nearly all who are going in have been there before and have great faith in it ns ii future mining camp. The schooner Adventure will Bail for the westward in a few days on a prospecting and trading expedition. James McCauley aud A. 0. Campbell will take passage on her for tho purpose of investigating the mineral resources of that vast section of Alaska, and of which little is known. However, the prospector and miner ia gradually wending his way to that section and before many years its merits will be well-known. A term of court will bo held in Juneau about the 20th of May, Marshal Porter received the necessary money for that purpose. Two men wero recently arrested in Douglas City for conducting a dance house, and brought to Juneau before Judge Williams, and fined $100 nnd costs. The opening up of several coal mines during tlie coining summer will add a new feature to the mining industry of Alaska. Coal has long been known to exist in large bodies along the west coast of Alaska, but of late years some very promising prospects have been discovered in Southeastern Alaska. On Admiralty Island Messrs. McClosky Brady and others are engaged in opening what promises to be an extensive deposit of a superior quality of coal. These parties have done considerable work, and judging from the good showing thus far made they are confident of having a big thing. On the same island Captain James Carroll and CharleB Wells have an excellent prospect, and on which they expended considerable money last season and will resume operations again this coining summer, nnd will continue until they are thoroughly satisfied ns to its merits. Messrs. N. A. Fuller and John Treadwell nre negotlatiating for a tract of coal land to the westwnrd for a consideration of (00.000.* This property is hi the vicinity of Cook's Inlet and if the bargain should be consummated Mr. Fuller will go there aud personally sup* criutond its development. The opening of one or two coal mines in this j»u_ tio,_ of Alaska will be a valuable assistance In the development of other mineral industries. Concerning the drowning of William Bonnett and a Mr. Mitchell near Point Arden, on Admiralty Island, March 15th, and the finding of whose Itodies has been previously reported, the Elder brings the intelligence that Frank Muzzey and John Ackerson, prospectors, were also drowned at the same time. The first two wero In one boat, a and Muzzey and John Ackerson in ' another. From indications it appears that tho first boat became wind-lround at the mouth of Takou Inlet und the second boat overtook it and the occupants of the two went Into camp together, waiting a favorable opportunity to cross, and when the weather was favorable both started, and when off Point Arden,on Admiralty IbIiuuI, they were struck by a squall and both boats wero capsized aud drifted on the rock-bound shores, where they went to pieces. John Ackerson was a young man about 36 years of ago, and was engaged In business In Douglas City. Frank Muzzey was a young man about 38 years of age, has been a resident of Alaska since 1885, having como from Montana. William II. Bennett was a man of 40 or 45 years of age. He came to the country in 1874 from Salt Lake aud went into the Cassiar mines In British Columbia, whore he followed the life of a prospector and miner. In 1879 or 1880 ho wont to Puget Sound, and thence went to Victorin and started into business by opening a fruit, vegetable and llsh market. In the spring of 1887 lie was attracted to the gold fields of the Yukon, whither he went and remained one season, hut not meeting with the success anticipated, returned to Juneau and remained there and at Douglas City.
