O. dfelto Undignified Members. Ottawa, April 12.—Another General is in trouble. Members of Parliament are paid a rate of 10 cents per mile on the distance between their homes and Ottawa. ThiB year Major-General Laurie, who represents Melbourne, Nova 'Scotia, came directly from London, England, to attend his parliamentary duties, and lie charged mileage on the whole distance, $000. This was considered outrageous, and Mr. McMullen drew attention to it in the Commons last night. At the close of the session the two men encountered each other in the lobby. The General called McMullen a sneak and the latter resented it und tho two men clinched. A Minister of the Crown who came along at thiB moment forcibly separated them, and compelled them to leave the House in different directions.' A Good Idea. Chicago, April 12.—The boss carpenters say that they propose to go to work to fill the strikers places on Monday next. The Georgia Way. N«w York, April 12.—A special to tlie World from Elberton, Ga., says: The loungers around the public square last Wednesday morning, were treated to an exciting scene. J. 8. Harper appeared on the square with a horsewhip in his hand. This unusual Bight attracted the attention of those who were about and they watched his motives with considerable curiosity. They were not left long in doubt as to hiB meaning. Soon Col. Philip W. Davis waB seen walking across the square and Mr. Harper approached him and Baying only " You infernal scoundrel," started in with the whip and cowhided him in a most terrible manner. Col. Davis made little or no resistance. The cause of the difficulty is said to be in certain attentions Davis paid to a lady, to which attentions Harper took exception. Later in the day a meeting of citizens was held in the city hall, of which D. P. Oglesby was elected chairman, and Judge L. L. Almond secretary. This meeting, after a thorough investigation of the circumstances of the case, adopted the following resolutions with no dissenting voice: "Resolved, that P.W. Davis be requested to resign hiB position as representative in the State Legislature from Albert County, and that a committee of five citizen be appointed to notify him of this action." Tlie committee went to find Davis to notify him of the meeting's action, but failed to do so, lie having already left the city. Another resolution was passed as follows: "In the name of the honor virtue and peace of the county we request Mr. Davis to leave the town and county in six hours, never to return." A supplementary motion required a copy of thiB resolution to be Bent to Davis with the signatures of those present at the meeting. Public opinion Ib very much exercised over the matter but the action of the meeting is generally endorsed. Col. Davis waB elected representative from Albert county, a prohibition stronghold, on the wet ticket laat election, defeating several strong candidates. Since hia election he has been drinking which accounts for hiB downfall. His wife ia a niece of Harper, the man who cowhided liim, and both men belong to one of the beat families of this State. Watches Stolon. Los Anoeleb, April 12.—The jewelry store of J. E. Brown was robbed last night of valuables to the amount of $2,000. About 7 o'clock Brown locked up the store and went to supper, neglecting to put his costly watches in the safe. During his absence the thieves effected an entrance by the rear door, and hastily gathering up what watches and jewelry they could lay their hands on, made good their escape with their booty. A Funny Affair. New York, April 12.—The Herald's special from Burlington, Iowa, says Burlington's four hundred are horribly shocked over the predicament in which a number of their leading young ladies found themselves after tlie close of an amateur entertainment at the opera house on Thursday night. The entertainment had been gootten up by a Mr. and Mrs. Howe, travelling managers, who came here some'live weeks ago and began a rehersal of "Carnival Militaire," a rather pretty and beautifully costumed entertainment. Mr. and Mrs. Howe furnished the costumes and the participants were all prominent ladies of Christ Episcopal Church Guild, which had the entertainment in charge. Many of the young ladies had donned their stage costumes at home before going to the opera house, During tho evening a sheriff from a neighboring city appeared with an attachment ou the entire para- fihernalia. Whon tho curtain fell on he last act the young ladies were horrified when they found they could not take the costumes from tne building. A great hubbub ensued but the sheriff was unmovable and the result was the young ladies were compelled to go homo in decidedly negligee attire. The sheriff has prostrated tho 400. 1.1*11 and Military. Pineville, Ky., April 12.—Lettera from Harlan, 40 miles away over the mountains, which reached here late last night, indicate a dangerous condition of affairs. There ia cloud between Capt- Galther In command of the military and Judge Boyd. The latter has ordered the soldiers to arrest all drunken men, and Galther has refused saying that ho did not intend to usurp the powers of the civil authorities. Every saloon is closed and armed soldiers guard every entrance to the town. All incomers are searched for weapons, and not a man is allowed to enter the court house unless searched. Judge Boyd walks to and from the court house protected by a guard of eight soldiers, and two armed soldiers stand watch at lils room all night, while others protect the house. The great case at this term of tlie court, and one which is feared will end in wholesale bloodshed is that of Will Jennings, the boss outlaw of the county and the wickedst man In the mountains. He is on trial for his life. The hearing of evidence began yesterday, and his friends do not hesitate to Buy openly that If he is convicted they will not allow tho troops to take him away. While if he is clerred his enemies swear they will kill him before he leaves town. tion has held several meetings in the last few weeks, and it has been decided to hold a mass memorial meeting on May 3rd, the evening of the first anniversary of his murder. The following day, with an escort of Irish and secret societies, tlie coffin will be buried with honors in the lot purchased by the association on Sheridan drive in Calvary cemetery. Earthquake. Dover, Me., April 11.—An earthquake shock was felt hore this morning a few minutes before 3 o'clock. The noise was like an explosion when first heard and then the earth trembled several seconds. — Vigorous Steps. Washington, April 11.—Attorney- General Miller is fully aroused to the necessity of vigorous prosecution being made against all persons who assisted in smuggling Chinese across the border from Lower California. Mr. Miller said to-day: "I have instructed United States Attorney of the southern district of California to spare no efforts in having justice meted out to the Americans or Mexicans who wero piloting these Chinamen into California. When arrested we will mako every effort to Eut au end to this smuggling, ns fnr as ringing them from Lower California is concerned. A Great Boycott. New York, April 11.—Ono of the largest strikes that over took placo in this City in the building line, took place to-day by order of the board of walking delegates in order to sustain union aa against the firm of Paulsen and Eger, who signed an agreement to comply with union rules and afterwards refused to keep it. Upwards of fourteen hundred housesmiths, plumbers, fitters, steam fitters, carpenters, stair builders, painters, vnrnisners, marble cutters, hod tile layers, etc., refused to resume work at one o'clock on all buildings upon which work is being done by Paulsen & Eger. ^^^^^^^^^ PARLIAMENTARY JOTTINGS. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Victoria, April 11.—Hon Mr. Robson's reply to Mr. Cunningham's enquiry regarding the Westminster-Victoria mail subsidy created a deep impression in the House Wedneaday. Unpleasantness as well as depth characterised the impression. Hon. Mr. Robson's remarks upon the action of the Federal Government on this matter completely expressed the views of every honorable member in the House. To every British Columbian who has read and studied his country's history, and knows exactly what Bhe has a right to expect from the Dominion Government, there must have seemed something detestable and annoying in the cool, autocratic, condescending, and yet arrogant, tenor of the reply —"propose to cut down the Bervice to once a week," and even that may be withdrawn if the Postmaster-General thinks it necessary! This is decidedly Interesting, if nothing else. The citizens of Westminster City will note with satisfaction the resolution of Mr. T. Cunningham, M. P. P., drawn up for presentation to the House. Westminster has always preferred her wants in mild and temperate language, but a few more strokes like that commented on above may induce her to startle some of our Jacks-in-off.ee by treating them to a speech or two of a different sort. Busiues iB decidedly dull in the House these latter days. It ia generally supposed that the House will prorogue on or about April 18th. The long looked for redistribution bill is on the topis at last. As may be seen in the regular report, Hon. Mr. RohBon will ask leave to introduce a bill, "to amend the Constitution Act" next Monday. This is the famous bill everybody has been waiting for, and holding his breath for. It is confidently expected that there will be some first-class declamation and eloquence in the atmosphere of the Legislature next week; and this session will most probably wind up with one of the moat militant coruscations of rhetorical fire works ever chronicled in the history of this great country. With the exception of the slight difference of opinion over tho Chinese question between Messrs. Cunningham and Martin, the present session has been eminently orderly and decorous. Therefore the country looka for next week's proceedinga with every anticipation of a grand rough-and-tumble melee, in which everybody will be expected to say something; dignity and decorum out of the question; slanders, personal attacks and libellous reflections on the probity of ancestors to count. It Is rumored that there is enough in the bill to call forth an even livelier programme than that sketched above. Time will tell. IN ENGLAND. One of tlte Most Horrible and Brutal Prize Fights ou England's Records. The Exact Cause of the Accident to the City of Paris while at Sea Explained. Stanley Honored and Feted on His Homeward Tour of Triumph. A Brutal Affair. Liverpool, April 12.—A brutal prize fight occurred at Wigan, Lancashire, yesterday. Sicence, fair play and humanity were altogether ignored. Two noted wrestlers. Moran, of Wigan, and Haigh, of Stnndish, were the principals. They were naked with the exception of short trousers nnd clogs, but In tho first round the trousers were torn to shreds and the combat wns fought out in clogs only. These lnttor wero finally used ns weapons of offence and defense. At tlie close the men wore seamed,- scarred and gashed iu all directions. Haigh wns declared victor, and Moran wns carried home unconscious. The Accident Explained. Liverpool, April 12.—The true cause of the accident to the City of Paris was learned to-day. The steamer iB in the drydock in Birkenhead, and the water is gradually being run off. Aa she wns raised to-day the starboard propeller dropped off, showing the shaft to be broken closa to the bl&de of the propeller. The sudden collapse of this section thus caused a collapse of the starboard engine. '___, Stanley Honored. Rome, April 11.—Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer, arrived here to-day and waB welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd of people who saluted him with vivas and cheers. A formal reception was tendered him by the Geographical society, whoso president, Signor Vitol- Bchi, presented Stanley with a gold medal. -. Incredulous Russians. St Petersburg, April 11.—At the office of General Vnnnooski, Russian Minister of war, everyone is politely incredulous as to any practical rapprochement between France and Germany as an inducement to the former to join the European combination to prevent the Russian aggression which Germnny nnd her allies pretend to fear. Hard on Stanley. Berlin, April 11.—Dr. Reichard, in a lecture here to-night, declared that Stanley, before setting out on his journey in quest of Livingstone, learned the whereabouts of that explorer from the Arabs at Zanzibar and concealed his information in order to enhance tho importance of his feat, Tlie lecturer read a letter from Count Stellaire, whose son is agent nt Zanzibar of the German East Africa Company, iu which tho writer asserts that his son informed him that Stanley proposed to Emin that the latter should collect the forces found at the stations in Kevirondo, while he (Stanley) would bring steamers from Mombnssa, and join him. This junction formed, Stanley proposed to conquer Uganda and Unijora, and create an equatorial dominion, of which Emin, in recognition of this service, would be appointed the ruler in the service of the British Enst African Company, n't a princely salary. Crafty Peters. London, April IL—The latest news from Dr. Peters, the African explorer, indicate that he is within the sphere of British influence, nnd gives color to the report thnt he circulated the report of IiIb own death in order to be better able to pursue bis special objects without being hampered by Government despatches. What he lias been doing all this time is something of a mystery, and will undoubtedly bear inquiry, A very strong opinion prevailed among authorities on African mutters here that Dr. Peters lowered the British flags on the banks of Tana River, something after the style of Major Serpn Pinto, and that lie endeavored to establish German influence in place of British. This, if it should prove to be true, will naturally compel the German Government to disown hia acta and official pretensions, nnd repudiate all that he has done. OTTAWA NEWS. Oronln's Memory. New York, April 12.—A special to the Tribune from Chicago says: Beforo the close of the year a monument will mark the spot whore Patrick H. Cronin Ib burled. The committeo which waa brought Into existence by hia assassina- Children Cry for Pitcher's Cattorli Ottawa, April 11.—It is announced by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey that a sunken rock, with 2 feet of water over it, has been reported by tho Commander, W. M. Annealey, of. H. M. S "Icarus," 300 yards E, by E. S. from Edith Point, Mayne Island, in tlie Gulf of Georgia, British Columbia. As a result of the representations of the British Columbia members the clause relating to the free importation of mining machinery will bo ao enlarged that it will read: "Machinery not now manufactured in Canada." Hon. Peter Mitchell strongly opposed the second reading of tho bill to prevent the disclosure of official documents. Sir A. Caron said, that in view of the proposed Imperial defensive works in Canada by the Home Government, the least tho House of Commons could do was to pass the proposed measure for the common good of all parts of the Em- fare, even if it were not more particu- nrly for the welfare of Canada herself. It had been thought necessary by the Imperial authorities to undertake the strengthening and extensions of fortresses of othef places of naval -strength oh the Atlantic and Pacific. Those works were not solely in the interest of Great Britain, but also for the defence of our own shores. Notice is given that the "ten standard" salmon net will be established and adopted by tho Fisheries Department next year, and that thereafter no other salmon net will be sanctioned In Canada. Advices are received from Montreal that it has been arranged to build a flour mill there of the capacity of 2,000 barrels dally. OTTAWA NOTES. A Heated Discussion In the House- Peter Mitchell at His Old Dodge. \Fram Our Own Correspondent.] Ottawa, April 11,—A heated discussion took place this afternoon on Sir John Thompson's bill, " An Act further to amend chapter fifty-one of the Revised Statutes," tho Territories real property act, Mr. Davln opposing the second reacting and the House going into committeo on the bill. Hon, Peter Mitchell tried hard to confuse the Minister of Justice, but finally gave up the fight. Tin: Columbian job department ts now In running order, and prepared to turn out first-ciaBB work of every description. * New Ireland. London, April 11.—The formal opening of New Tipperary, the new Irish town catabliahed by the tenants evicted from the Smith-Barry estate, has been further postponed in order to put the finishing touches on the most important of the buildings. Already 80 residence buildings have been completed and number of shops are in process of fitting up. The market is finished and will be opened to-morrow, The preparations for the opening of the market are very elaborate The building is literally covered with evergreens nnd flowers. Among the speakers who are to address the inhabitants of the new town are Messrs. William O'Brien, Michael Davltt, Sir Thomas Esmondc and several other Nationalist leaders. Mr. T. D. Sullivan, ox-Lord Mayor of Duhlu, has written a poem for the occasion, which, it Is expected he will read himself. Mr. Parnell has beeu elected an honorary resident of the new town, nnd at the formal opening of the settlement n few days hence, a large number of Liberals and Nationalists, Lords and Commoners, will be present. In addition to the popular festivities on the occasion of the addition of a now star to tho constellation, a banquet will be given to 600 guests. Coeval with this spirit of enterprise, the convention of Irish landlords sitting at Dublin is exhibiting a spirit of unrest and opposition to the land policy of the Government as expressed In Mr. Balfour's Land Purchase Bill. Not only does their denunciation of the measure declare the belief of the Convention that It is injurious to the interests of the landlords, but it asserts with equal vehemence thnt it fails in nny respect to relieve the tenants from the hardships they claim to be laboring under. This declaration is singularly at variance with the contention of the Nationalists that the bill is designed to operate in the interests of the landlords solely, and it ia quite as radically opposed to the claim of the ministry thnt the object of tho measure ia to confer benefits upon tho tenants far greater than any contemplated by Mr. Gladstone's scheme. In thiB view it would seem that that the bill is destined to please nobody, and its failure is regarded as a forgone conclusion. _________________ m^ The oditorlal and business offices of The Columbian have been removed to the now Powell Block.

PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT. Friday's Proceedings. .From Our Own Correspondent.! Mr. Speaker took the chair at .2 p.m. Prayers by Rev. Dr. Reid. The report on the Timber Marking Bill was adopted. Bill read a third time and passed. Mr. Martin rose to a question of privi- ledeBtating that he had been misre- ported in the Times iu hia speech on the administration of tho estates of deceased persona bill. He set the matter right. Mr. Mason rose to a question of privilege stating that ho had been unjustly reflected upon iu the Times, That paper hod said "that he (Mr. Majon) haa had enough of politics." Ho emphatically denied this and stated that he had always tried to do his duty in a manner in consonance with tho directions of honesty and justice. He hoped he would not be so misrepresented again. Hon. Mr. Vernon presented a return to the House iu reference to all the circumstances attending the sale of 160 ncreB of land to Mr. Foxcrowle P. Cook, nt Granite Creek. Hon. Mr. Robson presented a return to the House of the correspondence respecting the mail subsidy tor service between Victoria and Westminster. Hon. Mr. Davie asked leave to introduce a bill entitled "Ait Act respecting the payment of moneys into and out ol court." Bill read a first time; second reading sot for Monday. Mr. Anderson moved the third reading of the London Canadian Insurance Bill. Bill read a third time and passed. Hon. Mr. Davie in moving the second rending of the Mineral Bill explained at some length the benefit to.be derived from the measure. Hon.Ttr. Beaven made the usual objections and the bill was read a second time and will be committed on Monday. Hon. Mr. Davie said he alone was responsible for the Controverted Elections Bill, of which he moved the second reading. He showed how. the necessity fortius act arose and explained the work it waa expected to do and the abuses it was expected to correct. It was fairer than the old method of permitting no appeal or allowing the candidate to be harrassed and brought into court. He therefore thought they should dispose of this bill as soon as possible. Bill read a second time and committed, Mr. Ladner in the chair. Committee rose and reported the bill complete without amendments. Will be considered Monday. House went into committee on tho Rivers and Streamea Bill, Mr. Mason in the chair. Committee rose and reported the bill complete with amendments. Report to be considered Monday. Hon. Air. Robson presented two messages from His Honor the Lieutenant- Governor. The first referring to the Municipal Act, the second, to Land Grants to certain railways. On motion of Hou Mr. Robson the two messages and enclosures will be referred to committee of the whole on Monday next. The report on the Licenses Act Amendment Bill was adopted, the bill read a third time and passed. On the motion to go iuto committee on the Quieting of Titles Bill, Mr. Orr moved the following resolution in amendment to the motion, "audi do leave the chair": Strike out all the words after that and insert the second reading of bill No. 07, intituled "an act for quieting titles to real estate" be discharged. And, whereas bill No. 07 ia largely drawn from the Quieting of Titles Act of Ontario. That the Attorney-General be requested to bring in another bill for the quieting of titles to real estate in thiB Province, embodying the main principles contained 'in bill No. 67, amending section 21 to comply with the provisions of section 2 of the Ontario Act and subsection "C" of subsection _. of the Quieting of Titles Act of Ontario, which Ib eliminated from bill No. 67. The amendment waa, after a good deal of amusing discussion, ruled outof order and tlie House went into committee, Mr, Semlin iu the chair. Committee rose and reported progress, asking leave to sit again. Hon. Mr. Robson laid before the House a return of the agreement between the Dominion and Provincial Governments relative to the minerals in the railway belt. Houae adjourned at 5:45 p.m. until 2 p.m. on Monday. NOTICES OF MOTION. By Hon. Mr. Vernon to aBk leave to introduce a bill to amend the Land Act. By Mr. Cunningham to introduce a bill to amend Mechanics Lien Act. By Hon. Mr. Turner—On Monday next— Whereas the report of the Public Accounts Committee finds that a very large proportion of revenue is paid by the public into the Lands and Works Department, in addition to large Bums paid out of the Treasury to that department, as cash advances, and that similar advances of smallor magnitude are made by the Treasury to the Attorney- General, Provincial Secretary, and other officers; And whereas such finding may mean either that advances are made to the Attorney-General, Provincial Secretary, and other officers personally for their use, or that the advances are to the departments for necessary departmental purposes, aud may also imply an improper departure from accustomed and honest practice, or may mean that the proper and ordinary course of business lias been adhered to; And whereas the said report also refers to cash advances made to the late Superintendent of Police, Mr. H. B, Roycraft, but is silent as to the purposes for which such advances were made, and tho circumstances attendant thereon; and it Ib also stated in the said report that "although Mr. Roycraft is known to have held f 86 dollars of the June collections in his hands on the 30th June, "1889, the Public Accounts and Balance "Sheet of the Province at that date, ns "laid before the Legislature, do not show that sum," by which statement it may be referred, either that the defalcation alleged was known at the time of the preparation of tho Public Accounts and Balance Sheet, and was purposely omitted therefrom, or that the defalcation has been only recently discovered. And whereas the report also finds that an audit of the books of the Lands and Works Department has not taken place for years, out goes on to say: "Your Committee are informed "that the "Lands and Works Department pay "revenue into the Treasury once every "week, and sometimes more frequently. And whereas the last mentioned finding nnd statement, in tho absence of information—especially (1) whether audita are necessary in the Department of Lands and WorkB, and have ever been accustomed to be had; (2) whether proper checkB aro kept upon the revenue passing through that department; (3) whether the revenue collected and advances made are duly accounted for to tho Treasury—leave it doubtful whether public moneys are regularly and honestly dealt with, or whether fraud and peculation are being practised. And whereas it is highly important that tho report of the Public Accounts Committee should fully slate all facta necessary to a proper understanding of all matters alluded to, and that what ia meant to bo reported by the Committeo should be stated without ambiguity, nothing being left to inference, or intendment.

When the Dominion estimates were published in February, it will be remembered that the item of $7,500 heretofore paid i.h a mail subsidy to the triweekly steamer service betweon this City and Victoria was conspicuous by its absence. The omission was pointed out and adversely commented on by the press of tho Province, and, very shortly, a resolution introduced by Mr. Ladner, nnd strongly supported by the Premier aud by our own member, Mr. Cunningham, was unanimously carried in the Local House, setting forth the great inconvenience and injury that would be done to the farmers, the canners, and others ou the Frnser River, If the subsidy in question should be withdrawn, nud praying hiB Honor the Lieutenant- Governor to araw the attention of the Dominion Government to the facts of the case at tho earliest possible date. The Lieutenant-Governor made the representations as requested accordingly, and the result of these representations—backed as they were by the whole weight and influence of the Government and Legislature of the Province, and warmly supported by the press- has just transpired, as the reader will have seen by the report in yesterday's paper of Thursday's Legislative proceedings. In reply to Mr. Gunning- ham's question on that day, if any reply had been received from the Dominion Government in reference to the resolution regarding the subsidy for a triweekly mail service between Westminster and Victoria, Hon, Mr. Robson, as Provincial Secretary, stated that lie had received a reply, but that it was of a most unsatisfactory character. It was proposed TO CUT DOWN THE MAIL SERVICE BETWEEN WESTMINSTER AND VICTORIA TO ONCE A WEEK, IP THAT WAS POUND NECESSARY BY THE PosTNABTEB-GbNEBAL 1 Can it be possible that the Dominion Government will allow the Postmaster- General to carry his insane, cheeseparing, penny-wise-pound-foolish policy to such an extreme as would be involved in a bull-headed persistence in cutting down, practically withdrawing, u subsidy and a service that should rather be increased and improved, and that, too, in the face of the urgent and weighty representations that have been made against such a course by those most interested and best qualified to judge? And after the renewed and still more emphatic protest which Mr. Cunningham will move the House to make on Monday next? Should our paternal Federal Government, however, persist iu hitting us this slap in the face, it will only be in keeping with the general tenor of its conduct toward this Province and the Northwest generally. What consideration do the Dominion authorities show in their tariff tinkering towards British Columbia and the western part of the Dominion as a whole? Not the slightest. The lately imposed added duties upon bread- stuffs, fruits, and live stock are a direct burden to the people of this Province, piled ou top of the tariff handicap which we have carried, too patiently, ever since Confederation, The administration of our fisheries, although not so bad on the whole as some other tilings, iB marked by blundering and incapacity; in matters of navigation affecting thiB Province, a niggardly and neglectful policy obtains; while our mining industry ia practically paralyzed in the incipient stages of its development by the oppressive and prohibitive duty on mining machinery, and when we ask for bread in the shape of having this duty removed, the fatherly Administration at Ottawa toaseas us a stone iu the empty form of words that appears to make some concession in the premises, while in reality it is a hollow mockery, affording no relief! But is it any wonder, it is pertinent to inquire, that wo are treated thus, when the Pacific Province has voluntarily tied itself baud aud foot in the absurd, slavish, and corrupt custom of returning a "solid aix" pledged, either expressly or tacitly, to support the "party in power" for the time being? And when our members occasionally punctuate their periods of silence by slobbering all over the Administration (vide telegraphic summary on Thursday of Mr. Barnard's recent effort in the Commons), licking the hand that Bmites, so to speak, and telling what fine things (!) the N. P. is doing for British Columbia, what a fine fellah the Government Is anyhow, and that the infatuated Province would continue to send its "solid six" what'e'er might betide? Taffy is all very well when it is deserved, hut even then some discrimination is required in laying it on. But a different sort of a "stick" must be wielded by British Columbia's members at Ot- ' tawa if this Province is. to command any respect or exercise any influence in the Dominion councils—if It is to get a moiety of Its rights even. It ia high time the "solid six" compact, express or understood, was broken up; It has done nothing but discredit to our spirit and judgment, and injury to our interests, in the past, and will continue to do the same fn the future. A general election Ib not so far off. That is the time for reform. Let us prepare now to turn ovor a new leaf altogether, and send as representatives to the Federal Parliament men pledged to hold aloof from servile party affiliations—men knowing the wants of the Province, having Its interests at heart, holding a firm conviction as to its rights, and determined, above all else, to secure these. The fact only needs to be stated to be apparent to all, that the Provinces of British Columbia and Manitoba and the Northwest Territories, constituting the great western division of the Dominion- of Canada, have many interests in common; and the fact is also so apparent that it does not require to be stated, that it Ib the interests of theBe Provinces and Territories that are most overlooked and Blighted by the Dominion authorities. The question, then, becomes almoat obvious: Why Bhould not the great western section of the Dominion, without implying or intending any hostility to the eastern portion, stand together for its rights and interests—Bend a "solid" contingent of independent representatives to Ottawa, pledged to work together not only for Provincial interests and rights, but to give mutual assistance as far as possible, and thus bring to bear upon the Federal authorities a force in favor of right and justice in matters affecting the western provinces.that cannot be disregarded or resisted. British Columbia has aix representatives, Manitoba five, and the Northwest Territories, four fifteen in all—and the number must booh be increased in every case. But a 'solid fifteen" could not be sneezed at in the Dominion Commons, and that the Weat haa need of such a coalition Ib too obvious to admit of contradiction. The general elections of next year will furnish the opportunity. Let it lie improved. m_w_mm_m_mmm_m_-__ NOTES AND COMMENTS. RAND BROS. -2REALK- Estate Brokers . FINANCIAL F.

An anti-lottery league has been organized in New Orleans whose purpose ia to drive the "wheel" out of the State of Louisana and destroy Its malign influence.

Emilio Castelar, the noted leader of the Spanish Republicans, evidently takes little stock in Bellamy's scheme of society. Commenting on Kaiser Wil* helm's labor proposals, he says in a letter to the Boston Transcript: "The whole secret of the new Socialist doctrine, which in its pride thinks itself destined to regenerate labor, lies in the substitution for the natural laws, revealed by liberty, of artificial laws, all of which breathe a spirit of reaction. Free labor, which it has cost us so much to obtain, free competition, liable like all things human to evil, but on the other hand conducive to such great and beneficial emulation in production, exchanged for the principle of collective property, which is the first term in the series of the evolution of so lofty an institution, the first term of a long series which would eventually put ub on a level with primitive and savage tribes; here is the whole of what constitutes the Bocial doctrine, destined, in the imagination of so many Utopians, to elevate labor and emancipate the worker."

Wo are now offering the above property at slightly advanced rates on behalf of former purchasers.

This property is situated on the Hall's Prairie road, near the junction of the Langley Road, the Yale Road, and the Clover Valley Road, within 600 yards of the proposed station of the New Westminster Southern Railway. The land is high and dry, and the soil is first-class. Surrey is one of the most prosperous sections of tho District of New Westminster, aud is at present enjoying quite a boom in real estate; so that purchasers of this property will get the value of their money in good, rich, solid farm land in a locality which at the same time promises an excellent field for speculation. NORTH ARM. 145 aores in Lot 166, near the North Arm Road, about 21-2 miles vest of the New Westminster Oity Post-office, at $160 per aore. This is fine fertile soil, chiefly prairie, and lies well. It has become a maxim that cities grow westward, and New Westminster is proving no oxception to the rule. City lots west of Edinburgh Street, along the North Arm road, have doubled in value in less than a year, while acre 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 Bales 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. Prices are bound to advance rapidly. In addition to the above we have a large list of City and Suburban Property, at moderate prices and on favorable terms, of whioh we invite examination RAND BROS.

You were about to observe thatyou were very busy this morning, and besides you did not care for any photographs at present Your next-door neighbor said the same thing, but, nevertheless, when she had seen the beautiful pictures which I shall be pleased to show you she decided at once to take a ticket for one dozen of these exquisite works of art She (frigidly)—What my nextrdoor neighbor doos is nothing to me, itr, and I don't want— Ho—Really, madam, it's no trouble, I assure you. I know you were about to observe that you did not want to trouble mo to show you these charming specimens, but I am persuaded tbat you will be delighted with them.

Sho (impatiently)—Sir, I havo no timo to- He—No time to sit for piotures just now you were about to say, but I can assure you there is no time limit about this system. You merely give me fifty cents In exchange for the coupon, and call at the gallery wheneverlt suits your convenience, pay five dollars more, and have your sitting. You are then entitled to one dozen elegant imperials and one copy of this new and beautiful discovery of the art, called— She—See here, you, sir, I want you to understand that 111 I had my way I would puf t."ery photographer in the country In jail. Piotures, indeed! Bo you see tho stains all over my carpet? That's where my husband, who is an amateur photographer, spilt some of his chemicals. Do you see the hole burnt in that piano cover? That's where he ruined it by trying to take a flash light picture and oame near setting tbe houso a-flro, to say nothing of frightening tbe baby Into convulsions. There's scarcely a decent piece of crockery in the house that has escaped being utilized as a developing dish, or for some other suoh purpose. Ho—But, my dear madam- She—Don't dear me. I know your vile tricks, sir. If it hadn't been for your miserable art—art. indeed!—my house would not resemble a pig-pen. Look at my, mantel-pieces, olosets, tables and bath-room, and, in faot, look at the whole houso! It is filled from top to bottom with some evidence of your vile trade. Five dollars a dozen! I would not give you five conts for all the trash you can make. I've had photography for breakfast, dinner and supper till I'm sick of it, and if you don't get out of this house this minute Til call the hired man to Bet the dog on you. He—Really, madam, I'm sorry- She—No, you re not That's wnat you always say—that's what my husband says whon he has ruined Borne fresh thing with his nasty compounds. That's what he said when he spilt muriutlc aoid ovor tho front breadth of my new evening dross. Sorry! Now, I tell you what, if you don't get outside that door in something less than no timo you will have.cause to be sorry in earnest, And just you remember to tell at the next house you go to up the road that their next neighbor didn't decide at once to tako a ticket Gentlemanly person beats a hasty re- treat-N.

After tho cold wind yesterday the heavy frost last night was a surprise to no one. Ice formed on the ponds and water barrels, and the ground was quite hard about daylight. If thiB sort, of weather continues it will result badly for gardens and fruit trees. The oldest inhabitants are all at sea on the weather question this year, and none of them can account for the long continuance of the raw and cold spell. The mountains on all sides, even down to the foot hills are still covered with snow, and look as wintry like as they did in February and seem 'to he clad in a heavier coat of the beautiful than they were a week ago. •—•-■ ♦ — Beautiful Bones.

The Upper Kooteny River is still frozen up, and there is a large quantity of ice in the outlet. The Galena started to-day up the Upper Kootenay in an attempt to break up the ice, but the trip is generally expected to prove a failure. A great many people are at Kootenai and Bonner's Ferry waiting for the river to open. Enormous quantities of cattle perished in this district during January and February. A wharf is being erected at Warm Bluel dr' The Lacrosse Allnstrela. The dramatic editors of the Provincial press who have been bo loud in their praise of the entertainments given hy the Lacrosse Minstrels*, havo had considerable ground for expressing themselves in such high terms of the abilities of the performers. The Vancouver audience which crowded the Imperial Opera House last evening testified in unmistakeable terms that they held the opinions expressed by the Yaletown Clarion nnd Port Moody Call, that this Company Is tlie best now on the road. The entertainment was far beyond what anyone expected to Bee, and it Is doubtful if any professional company would please a Vancouver audience as well or give a better performance than that given by the Lacrosse Minstrels last evening.—News-Advertiser, April S. The Lacrosse Minstrels will give one of their 8leasing performances in Herring's ipera House on Wednesday evening next, the ltith inst. ♦ ■> ■ «■ ■---■ Fisk Jubilee Singers. The sweet voices of the Jubillee Singers from Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., entertained a largo audience iu Odd Fellows' Hall last night. The programme was composed chiefly of the songs sung by the slaves of the south before the war and was a novelty in concert entertainments. All the voices are fresh and Btrong, nnd in tlie medleys and choruses they chime together with a truly remarkable sweetness. The programme, which waB quite long, including fourteen numbers, was divided into two parts, the first of which was introduced by the singing of the company of the religious selection "Keep me from sinking down," accompanied by the Lord's Prayer. "O brothers, meet me in the kingdom," and "Been a-listening all the night long," two very enjoyable songs truly representative of the plantation favorites followed. J. N. Caldwell, the basso, drew tremendous applause bv his rendition of "Old Ocean Proud, and in response to the hand clapping rendered two songs as encores. "He arose from the dead" followed, and the first part was finished by the rendering of "The judgment day is rolling round. The second part was as follows: Medley, "Who do you call tho King Emmanuel?'': tenor solo, "The White Squall," C. W. Payne; "This old-time Religion;" medley, "Oh! Noah!"; "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." The programme throughout was excellently rendered and was greatly enjoyed.— San Francisco Chronicle, Jan. S. WANTED. A COMPETENT GENERAL SERVANT. AP- pi; at MRS.

New Westminster, April 12th, 1890. dapWml The Ankers Inquest. The inquest ou the body of Mrs. Ankers, found drowned near the Ross-McLaren Mills ou Thursday evening, was commenced last evening and continued to-day. The evidence regarding the finding of tho body was taken, along with less important details. Dr. De Wolf Smith, who made the post mortem examination, gave important evidence. He said the bruises on the head might have been caused by a blow four hours before death; the blow was received before death and if it was given by a man's fist it would have knocked her insensible. The wounds were not received after death, and death was caused by drowning. The examination revealed the fact that no food was in deceased's stomach. Mr. F. Eickhoff testified that Mr. A. Ewen had given the old couple $5, and that the old woman returned to his store the next day and said the young people had taken the money away from them. The old lady waB feeling very badly and said she could not agree with the young people and wished to leave the house if they could get a room In town. Mr. McDonald, of McDonald Bros., said old Mrs. Ankers had come to their store on Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock and gave him a package to give to her son, John Ankers. This was on Wednesday evening, the night the couple disappeared. The package contained a hair necklace and a gold brooch. John Ankers also gave his evidence, and then, on the application of Mr. Moresby, the case was further adjourned till Monday. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. Crossed th* Divide. The grand old pioneers of British Columbia are dropping off very rapidly, and Boon, if tho present rate of mortality is maintained, they will live only in memory, but to memory dear, and in their works which form imperishable monuments from tho mouth of the Fraser to the gold fields of Cariboo, and from there to distant Cassiar. It Is our sad duty to-day to announce the death of William Justice Howison, a name known the length nnd breadth of the firovluce. He was born at Kiugsey In he province of Quebec, in the stirring year of 1812. In the spring of 1849, with 5 other Canadians, he purchased a ship in Boston and sailed for California, entering the Golden Gate just six months later. The gold fever waB then at its height and the new arrivals were immediately Infected hy the erase, so much so that they abandoned their ship and left for tho interior to find a fortune iu the gold fields. Fortune did not favor Mr. Howison aud he later drifted to South America where he worked in the gold fields for some years, but with little success. In 1858. he came to British Columbia and after spending a short time In Westminster, which waB then a virgin forest, he went to Cariboo. During hiB stay in Westminster he had the honor of cutting the first tree ever felled on the land lying along the river now called Front Street. Alter spending some months in the mines, he returned and took up what Is now known as the Howison farm ut Maple Ridge. He cleared half an acre of ground, filanted potatoes and left again for the ntorior. In the full he returned, dug the crop, and mnrketted It for $500. After mining for a few years with In- dlfieieut success he settled on his farm permanently and cultivated it until he removed to Westminster in 1880, and here ho resided until his death last night. The deceased leaves one daughter and a large number of relatives to mourn his death. The funeral will tako place from his late residence at 1:30 o'clock to-morrow afternoon to the Oddfellow's cemetery. Rev. J. II. White will conduct the services. ^^^^^^^^^ ForSaI'B.—1 lot of 45 acres at Brownsville, frontage on Fraser River, and 1 lot in rear (100 acres), both flrst-class soil.

Real estate iB booming; everyone is confident of a pronerous summer. The attempt to boom "Nelson city"— 'Bogus Town." as it is cocally termed— has proved a failure, except the contra- tors, clearing a few lots, there is no sign of life there. Nelson— the old town—Ib going ahead apace. Mr, AV. Gesner Allen arrived from Westminster last week. He was obliged to walk from Bounera Ferry, Idaho, n six days tramp over a hard road. Jack Kvi.k. Nelson, B. 0., April 1. Another Pioneer Gone. At exactly 4.20 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr. John Boyd, one of Victoria's best known nnd most highly respected citizens, passed away at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. R. J. Horton, No. 140 Chatham Btreet. Mr. Boyd had been failing for some time and his death waB not wholly unexpected, although it proved a severe blow to his relatives and many friends. The deceased was born in Glasgow, Scotland, (where he learned his trade as a weaver), in 1820, making him at the time of his demise 70 years old. He came to Victoria In January, 1863, but left a few months after for Pavilion, B. C, where he kept the Wayside house for two years and a half, when he returned to this city to enter the employ of the Hudson Bay Company as Bteward, a position which he held for 5 years and which he left to go iuto the grocery and liquor business on Johnson street. He kept that stand for a number of years, removing about six years ago to his premises on Yates street, the business of which he disposed of a few days ago on account of illness. He was ex-president of the St. Andrews and Caledonia Society, aud a member of both the Pioneer and Masonic societies, in the affairs of which he always took a keen interest. He represented Yates street ward in the city council for two terms, and waa once a candidate for mayor, but waB defeated. John Boyd's name was always among the first in the way of charities, he giving with a liberal hand to the needy. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. R. J. Horton and Mra. Jas. Russell, both residing in this city. —Friday's Colonist. —— » »■-♦ A Determined Suicide* A suicide of a most determined character occurred on Richards street about 2 o'clock this morning. A man named Richard Bolton, who will be remembered as having kept the Senate Saloon, on Cordova street, for a short time some months ago, wus brought before the magistrate about three weeks ago, charged with threatening the life of his wife, nnd wns required to find sureties to keep the peace for six months. In default of obtaining these he was locked up for two days when the magistrate agreed to release him on condition that he left the city aud remained away for six months. The Chief of Police put him on board the Islander, but Bolton, apparently misunderstanding the magistrate's decision, returned in two days and wns again arrested, being finally allowed to leave town on the same conditions as before. He appears to have returned again last night, and ut an early hour this morning went to the house on Richard Btreet, where his wife and child resided, and burst in the door. His wife, aroused by the crash, met him in the passage, when he seized her and said, "Ah, I have you now," and placed a revolver at her head. She struggled with him and got away, he pursuing her into the street. Constable North was near nt hand and Bolton turned back into the house, and went iuto the room where the little girl waB in bed. He said he would shoot himself and the child cried to him not to do so. He. however, placed the pistol at his head and shot himself, dying almost instantly, the constable being so close that he ran into the house when the shota were fired nnd saw the wretched suicide breathe his last. Chief McLaren was immediately notified and went to the houso. He recognized the man as Bolton, although his appearance wns greatly changed, the full beard worn by him when here before being shaven off. Jealousy of his wife, for which there does not appear to have been tho slightest reason, it is stated was the cause of Bolton's conduct. Dr. McGul- gun wus notified of the occurrence us this paper went to press.—News-Advertiser, Tenders for Hood; Square.
