Mr. Speaker took the chair at 2 p.m, Prayers by Rev. Arthur Beanlands. Mr. Duck moved the third reading,of the National Electric Tramway Bill. Bill read a third time and passed. Mr. Cunningham moved the third reading of the Fraser River Gold Gravels Syndicate Co. Bill. Bill read a third time and passed. The report of the Shuswnp & Okana- gan Railway Bill was adopted. Bill read a third time and passed. The rejjort of tlie Columbia & Kootenay Railway was adopted. Bill read a third time and passed. The report of the Vancouver Oity Bill waB adopted. Bill read a third time and passed. House went into committee on the London Canadian Insurance Bill, Mr. Smith in the chair. Committee rose and reported complete with amend- meats. Mr. Haslam asked that the second reading of the Timber Marking Bill be dlaejjarmd. Carried. Mr. un moved tho second reading of the B.C. Jockey Club Bill. Bill read a second time and committed, Mr. Tolinie In the chair, Hon. Mr. Davie took exception to these people, the three gentlemen named in the bill, monopolizing a title which was already in existence. He could not see what right they had to form themselves into a body corporate and call themselves the British Colum- RICHARDS & MACKINTOSH Real Estate bia Jockey Club. Mr. Robson asked that the committee rise and report progress and ask leave to sit again as His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor waB waiting to enter the House. Committee rose and reported progress and asked leave to sit again. Mr, Ladner asked the Speaker to call the Attorney-General to order for cross- ' the floor of the House. r. Orr asked the Speaker to request the Attorney-General to apologize. Apology received and filed, amid much hilarity and many humorous remarks. His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor was announced at this point. Mr. Speaker left the chair and HiB Honor took his seat on the throne. The clerk then read the titles of the following acts, to whioh His Honor, in the name of the Queen, waB pleased to assent: An act to amend the Legal Professions Act; an act to amend the Land Registry Act; an act to amend the Supreme Court Act; an act to incorporate the Columbia & Kootenay Railway and Navigation Co.: an act to grant a certain land subsidy in aid of the Columbia & Kootenay Railway; an act to assist the Shuswap & Okanagon Railway Company. The House again went into committee on the Jockey Club Bill. Mr. Martin rose and said he could not see what harm there waa in calling it the B. C. Jockey Club. It waB the Mainland that kept the Island going and It was the moat important part of the country, and if they wanted a Jockey Club why couldn't they call it the B.C. Jockey Club? Hon. Mr. Davie said that it should be called the Vancouver Jockey Club, und not the B.C. Joekey Club, as the members are all in that city. Mr. Croft said he was sorry to see so trifling a matter take up the valuable time of the House to such an extent. If these people wanted their club called the B. 0. it was no loss to let, them do FW." Nearly all the members took a hand in the debate, the mainland and many of the island members supporting the proposed title. Committee rose and reported the bill complete without amendments. Mr. Haslam moved several clerical amendments to the Nanaimo Telephone Bill and House went into committee on the bill, Mr. Grant in the chair. Committee rose and reported the bill complete with amendments. Report will be considered next Monday. Col. Baker in moving the third reading of the Crow's Neat Railway Bill asked leave to make some slight clerical amendments to the bill. He entered into an exhaustive explanation of the necessity for those changes. Hon. Mr. Beaven contended that this proposal was unquestionably out of order as It was not in the power of the Houbo to make any such change. The House could not grant a power to the Crow's Nest and Kootenay Railway Company in excess of what they had asked for. Therefore the proposal before the House was entirely out of order. This railway company by the amendment asked for an extension of about sixty miles. Hon. Mr. T. B. Humphreys nt this point entered the House, the first time this session, and was saluted with applause from both sides of the Houso. A eneral handshaking took place. Mr. umnhreys looks very frail after his long illness. Mr. Speaker said he would give his ruling on the Crow's Nest Railway mat- "" ' " " * ilu < Mr. Tolinie moved the second rending of the Fire Arms Bill. Mon. Mr. Brown said he expected a long speech on the subject from the honorable member. It waB not often they had the pleasure of listening to that gentleman. Ht thought this more a matter of domestic economy, rather than for legislative consideration. He thought the bill would bear some some amendments. Mr. Cunningham thought it would be a great hardship to fine a boy under sixteen, for carrying a gun. Many boys of fourteen ana fifteen were very handy with the shot-gun, and could knock over a crow in a style to do credit to Captnin Bogardus. Those lads were of great use around a farm or in the bush, Hon. Mr. Turner was in favor of the principle of tlie bill. Many boys around Victoria could be seen at certain seasons carrying guns nearly as big as themselves. Col. Baker was also in favor of the bill. Mr. Anderson thought tlie bill would meet witli considerable approval in the country. He thought sixteen years was WITHOUT INTEREST. [Lots in Subdivision of Lot 11, Sub.

C. dfelte ter next day. Third reading laid over. Mr. Ladner rose to offer some slight amendments to the Agriculture and Horticulture Bill. Amendments read first and second time and passed. Mr. Cunningham moved the adoption of the report. Report adopted and bill read a third time and passed. House went into committee on tho Election Regulation Bill, Mr. Cowan in the chair. The debate was very protracted and among other speeches made that of Mr. Cunningham was one of the most notable. He branded Mr. Duck's amendment to the net, to make canvassing before an election illegal, aBa protective clause for rich men; it was unfair to thepoor man. He related the case of two candidates who sent in their speeches to the same newspapers and the one speech was shoved in among the patent medicine ads. and mouldy notices, while the other came out fresh and fair, cousin- oermain to tlie editorials. (Laughter.) It just amounted to thin that the man who could pay the most got the most consideration. Hon. Mr. Robson—But, didn't the candidate whose speech was shoved in among the half-dead "nds." gain tho seat? Mr. Cunningham—Well, yes, he did. (Roars ot laughter.) Hon. Mr. Robson—Well, that shows the futility of the argument of the honorable gentleman. Mr. Cunningham, resuming, said there waa of course some paperB In the country that could not be bought. Hon. Mr. Robson—Yes, there are papers and papers. Mr. Cunningham—Exactly, and a good many of them would tuke care to profit by (hia bill. A most lively and at some times stormy debate character I Bed the fight for this amendment, which was finally lost on a division uf 12 to 10. Mr. Cunningham characterised Mr. Orr's amendment to make the fine of 1600, in ulause 5,as nn insult to the ministry, and hoped the members of tbe House would resent it when it came to vote. Hon. Mr. Davie said Mr. Orr had forgotten to label his little ameudmont aa a joke, which it undoubtedly wns. He ought to have prefaced his remarks with "this Is a Joke." Amendment lost. Committee rosd and reported tlio bill complete with amendments, Houso adjourned at 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. KVKNINO HKSHION. On resuming business at 7.45 p.m., rather too long to keep the pleasure of carrying a gun from them; fourteen or fifteen was long enough. They might, however, be kept off tne roads. Hon. 0, E. Pooley said lie was quite in favor of this bill. In the district which he had the honor to represent a valuable mare was shot and killed by boyB carrying guns. These young fellows were filled right up with hilarity and spirits, and did not care what they shot—chickens, turkeys, pigeons and everything else. They should certainly be restrained. By the time one could get out of the house to go after the young sports who had been depleting the poultry yard they were afar off among the rocks, and safe from pursuit. Bill read a second time. House went into committee, Mr. Semlin in the chair. Hon. 0. E. Pooley said this measure was to protect farmers from the incursions of bnnds of boys from the city going shooting on Sunday. Mr. Cunningham—And why not men too? Hon, Mr. Pooley—Because men have usually more sense than boys, and they must be restricted as they do great damage wherever they go in pursuit of their prey. Mr, Cunningham—Well, then, if you would stop those boys going out on Sunday why not stop shooting on Sunday altogether? Hon. Mr. Pooley—There is a law to that effect, but it is not enforced. Hon. Mr. Beaven agreed witli Mr- Cunningham's amendment to change the age from sixteen to fourteen. A boy of sixteen in this country was quite a lump of a fellow, and possessed of not a little "boss" sense when it came to shooting, nnd he thought fourteen quite old enough. In the discussion of the eligibility of Indians as candidates for the police court under this bill there was a division of opinion, some saying that Indian boys might not be restrain- ed from using their guns, others contending that they were as much amenable to the bill as white boys. The clause relating to Indians were passed without amendments. Committee rose and reported the bill complete with amendments. Mr. Haslam moved the second reading of the Coal Miners Bill. He said that a few years ago the accidents In the Vancouver Island mines were of such a nature as to cast a gloom over the whole country. The Chinese were supposed to have been the originators of these disasters and after the Wellington disaster the miners mutually agreed to try aud do away with Chinese help in the mines. It was. a duty they owed to themselves and to their families, iu spite of the sacrifice it was to fill the vacancies left by the Chinamen by white labor. Tlie miners consider the presence of Chine ho in the mines an element of danger, and this was mainly the reason for tlie petition and bill. Mr. Thompson said this bill was mainly for the protection of life and must not be confounded with the usual Chinese clause. Part of the statute said that no Chinese or those who could not speak English could be placed in a position of trust, but when a man was low* ered down those shafts thoy were iu a position of trust. Tho danger came in wandering around the galleries and cuttings. Hon. Sir. Robson said he had listened with great pleasure to the remarks of tho honorable mover and seconder of tlie bill. This was no political scheme or the old stereotyped Chinese clause or anything but a serious business matter. No line of business in British Columbia Columbia waa attended with greater danger than that of coalmining. These coal mine owners had calmly como to the conclusion that they would have to dispense with tbe assistance of Chinese in the mines. The Bights he had witnessed while investigating several of the terrible mine disasters at the Vancouver and Wellington mines had deeply impressed upon his mind the sacrednesa of the trust reposed in those who managed the mines. They had had fearful illustrations of how scores almost hundreds of families might be left helpless by being deprived of their bread winners. He felt it a very solomu question and he felt it his duty to put aside all questions of u political nature iu giving this measure his consideration. Mr. Cunningham heartily supported the bill. He had not met with a very cordial reception in introducing to the House the anti-Chinese clause in the Westminster City railway bill, but he found there is more feeling against tho Chinese now than there was then. The miners led a life of great danger in their calling, Human lifo wns much more precious than the profits on coal. There was nothing political in the anti-Chinese cry, it was a question of expediency. They were a detriment to this country. The Chinaman in face of peril was per* foctly helpless and a danger to everyone around him. Mr. Anderson strongly supported the bill. Hon, Mr. Davie said his views had not changed on this subject. Two years ago he had said the exclusion of the Chinese from the mines lay with the Chinese themselves. The miners since that date have boycotted the Chinese out of the mines, so that they are no longer employed there. Since the exclusion of the Chinese there have been no accidents. The employment of Chinese in tho mines was undoubtedly dangerous. On these grounds tho bill was not a mere anti-Chinese movement, but a measure for the preservation of life. The House could then very properly pass this measure. Mr. Semlim flpoke at considerable length on the billand called tho Govern- inittee rose and reported the bill complete without amendments. Hon. Mr. Davie said he would not like to see this provision fail for want of machinery. The matter of proving that a man was a Chinaman was an awkward one, and would be a poser to tlie prosecution if put in court. Report will be considered Friday. House adjourned at 10 p. m. until the usual hour next day. NOTICE OP MOTION. By Mr. Smith—To insert certain amendments upon tlie motion to adopt the report on the bill to amend the Game Protection Act. By Hon. Mr. Davie—To introduce a bill to amend the "Magistrates Act." By Hon. Mr. Davie—To introduce a bill entitled "The Quieting Titles Act." By Hon. Mr. Davie—To introduce a bill entitled the "Insurance Act." By Mr, Haslam—To move the House into committeo upon a bill to provide for the marking of timber. By Hon. Mr. Davie—To insert a new clause in the Pacific Coast Fire Insurance Co. bill. By Hon, Turner—To move tho following resolution "Thatwhereaa it is shown by the Custom Reports that Victoria is the sixth port in the Dominion of Canada, the customs duties collected in the year ending SOth June, 1889, amounting to ^790,725,000, and tlie number of vessels entering that, year being 586, of n total tonnage of 558,078, and the num- ber of passengers landing being 118,783, and the exports for tlio same year being $1,940,180. At That whereas the trade of this port is ly to increase very considerable during tho coming year owing to new Hues of steamers being put on, and to the greater efficiency of present lines, and to tbe larger number of sailing vessels making this port their destination. And whereas owing in part to tlie great amount of steamer traffic and partly to natural causes, tho harbor of Victoria is becoming silted up, and the water, particularly in front ol wharves, is decreasing in depth, and the trade of tlie port is thereby greatly inconvenienced. And whereas it is of the utmost importance, in the interest of the Dominion as well as of the Province that the trade of this port should be encouraged and developed. And whereas by a systematic and regular plan of dredging the harbor of Victoria could, at a comparatively small cost, be kept in a thoroughly commodious nud safe condition for the vessels frequenting it. And whereas large expenditures are annually made in Eastern ports to render them commodious for shipping and to promote the commerce of the Dominion qf Canada. Be it therefore resolved, that an humble address be presented to His Honor the Lieut.-Governor praying His Honor to urgently press on the Dominion Government the importance of having tlie harbor of Victoria properly dredged and deepened, and having some rocks removed from the channel for the purpose of straightening it, and the necessity, in tho interest of commerce, of the work being proceedod with.

Angry Meeting Held in Newfoundland to Protest Against the Anglo-Freueh Vivendi. Villard is Heading a New Scheme for the Development of Electric Companies. The Great Dock Laborers' Strike at Liverpool is Still Far from ' Settlement. Newfoundland's Itlghts. St. John, Nfd., Mar. 2?.—The meeting culled by the high sheriff to protest tigainst tlie Anglo-Fretach vuvndt regarding the lobster fisheries was held in Bannerman Park to-day. Several thousand persona were in ntteneance and the meeting was the largest ever held here. Strong resolutions were proposed by leading citizens censuring and denouncing French encroachments in the territorial and maritime rights of Newfoundland, The stars and stripes were displayed prominently at the demonstration and the speakers advocated an appeal to the United States in the case as England would not protect the rights of her colony. Similar meetings were held at Grace Harbor, Little Bay, Burin, and the other principal places on the island, and great excitement prevails. Free Wool Wanted. Boston, Mar. 27.—Henry C. Thatcher and Win. Lloyd Garrison appeared before the legislative committee on Federal relations to-day on behalf of woolen manufacturers and urged the passage of resolutions asking Congress to abolish the duty on raw wool. There were no remonstrances. Wyoming Admitted. Washington, Mar. 27.—The House passed the bill providing for the admission of Wyoming into the union of states by yeas 189, nayB 127. Villard's Latest.Scheme. Boston, March 27.—The intention of Henry Villard to transform the Oregon Transcontinental into a gigantic banking corporation is declared here. To this end he has secured a charter from tbe State of Washington for a new company which will have all the valuable rights and franchises of the present Oregon Transcontinental. Villard ismuch impressed with the great possibilities of electricity, and one of the prime objects of the new company will bo the furnishing of money to tbe Edison Company and other electrical enterprises in winch Villard and his friends are interested. The new company still retains its interest in the Northern Pacific, and will act as banker for that concern aud dependent corporations. Cuatoma ltcarganl_.atlc.il. Washington, Mar. 27,—In the Senate to-day Dolph, from the committee on commerce, reported back favorably the bill to reorganize the Puget Sound customs district; also the bill appropriating $ 10,000 for a light-ship and fog signal at the mouth of the Columbia river, and ou motion of Dolph this bill was at once taken up and passed. Another Rupture. Liverpool, March 27,—A rupture has occurred in the negotiations for a settlement of the dock laborers' strike. The delegates ou behalf of the men demanded that employers dismiss imported hands, hut this the employers refused to do and nn agreement now seems as remote as ever. inent to account for tbo change that had taken in their opinion!, lion. Mr, Turner agreed with tho principle of the bill, aud denied the allegation made by9 Mr. Semlin that the Government members had been influenced by political motives In dealing with this matter on • former occasion. The difference between Chinamen employed in mines aud In canneries was that in the former thoy wero a danger to life, in the latter thoy wero not. Chinamen were not trustworthy on tbo occurrence of sudden danger and their presence around mines was a constant menace. Mr. Cowan said this was a measure that was necessary to tho safety of human life and be would strongly support tho bill. Hon. Mr. Heaven thought this measure an excellent one aud greatly in the interests of the miners. He then charged the Government with having forgotten their opinions of two years ago. Bill read a second time and committed, Mr. Anderson in the chair. Com- 1 liu General Manager of the New Behring Seal Monopolists Snya that tho Amerlcnn Government Will Carry on Selxures Moro Strltitly than Ever this Year. George R, Tingle, tho general manager for the new lessees of the fur seal inlands iu Alaska, the North American Company, was in Seattlo on Monday, en route for San Francisco, whence he sailB for Ms far-off post of duty. Mr. Tingle, being usked by a Journal reporter what would be the policy of the new company, said: "The company will endeavor to carry out the contract faithfully, made with the Government, and will do all in their power to protect and maintain the property so as not to Impair its value. It pays the Government a large figure for the exclusive privilege, a sum amounting to over-a million a year, and will insist upon the Government protecting the seals from the pirates who have heretofore infested Behring's Sea, The company feel that the Government's interests being so much greater than theirs and the revenue derived by it being so much greater than the company's, it should vigorously enforce the law and prevent the destruction of the seals. Tlio company will take the very best care of the native inhabitants of tlie islands and provide for all their wants, as the old company did beforo them. Thoy expect to strictly live within the law in tlie transaction of all their business, and hope to make u satisfactory profit on their investment." "What will be the Government's policy in the sea this season?" was asked, "My information boforo leaving Washington a few days ugo was that the Government would afford absolute protection bo far bb the law authorized, and that all vessels found sealing in Behring Sea would be promptly seized, and that the Government would see to it that tliis year none escaped the penalties of the law, as its interest now is very much greater than the company operating tho lease. Parties contemplating fitting out vessels for the sealing grounds must not complain if they find themselves in the hands of a strong Government, determined to put a stop to their unlawful practices. The situation now is changed materially from what it was under tne former lessees, whoso Interest under their loaso was greater than that of tbo Government In tho profits. Unless this vigorous protection is given, seal life would soon be so depleted that no company could afford to operate the fisheries under n leuse and pay the Government any revenue." "Has the now company bought the plant of tlie old company, and what are the relations between the two?" "The new company and the old have signed an agreement by which the new company binds itself to purchase all the property of tho old company on the fur seal islands, the price to bo fixed by arbitration, nud tbe relations between tho two companies are most amicable, the old company manifesting overy disposition to do everything that Is right by the new lessees. Tho new company on its part desires to purchase everything thoy require from the former holders of tho louse nt its full value."

Flood, and Famine. Arkansas City, Ark., Mar. 20.—The Taconla leveo, which broke Friday night, is now a hundred feet wide aud the water in that section Ib reaching the highest known point.

The Emperor, in announcing the appointment of Bishop Kopp as a delegate to tho Conference, said he know the Doctor to be thoroughly imbued with the Pope's ideas, and thut his presence and advice would materially contribute to the aueoess of the Conferoii-o. The Popo, in reply, congratulated the Emperor upon his taking the field in such a Worthy cause. His Holiness recognized the high value of an attempt to settle thoso important questions by a conference of international scope. Ho was pleased by the Emperor's acknowledgment of the great efficacy of religion and tho Church in the solution of social problems, and ho expressed tho hope that tho authorities would sup-, port tho servants of the Church in exercising their functions in connection with social questions.

The following facts aro of interest in connection with the annual rowing match on tho Thames between the Oxford and Cambridge Universities' eights, The race was inaugurated in 1820, and continued irregularly until 18511. Of the 47 contests decided (including this year's) 24 have been won by Oxford and 22 by Cambridge, that of 1877 being terminated in a dead heat. Outriggers were used first in 1840, and in 1857 boats without keels were introduced. The race in 1878, which occupied 10 min. 85 sec, was the fastest on record, and was the first in which sliding seats were used. The course between Putney and Mortlake Is about 4>_ miles in length, and is a favorite stretch for boating men, large numbers of club houses dotting the banks. MOVING FOR RECIPROCITY. It will be interesting to note what sort of a reception the motion of Mr. Gibson, M.P P., fas found in the despatches elsewhere), In favor of unrestricted reciprocity with the United States, meets with in the Ontario Legislature. Ontario Ib, politically, as well as in other respects, the banner province of the Dominion, and her action on this important question will do much to determine Canada's attitude on unrestricted reciprocity with her southern neighbor. It is altogether likely that the "protected" manufacturing interests are sufficiently represented in the Ontario Assembly to make a stiff opposition to Mr. Gibson's motion almost certain; but, if the masses of the peoplo, the laboring, the majority of the agricultural, the professional, and the "unprotected" business classes are faithfully represented in the Legislature, there can be little doubt as to what the result of the vote on the motion will be. Manitoba has already declared unreservedly In favor of unrestricted reciprocity with the United States. A resolution has been recommended to Congress by one of its committees in favor of unrestricted reciprocity with Canada, when the latter country shall have formally intimated a desire for such relations. If Ontario declares in favor of free trade, as a result of tho motion now before its Legislature, another great stride will have been taken towards a consummation toward which everything seems to he tending. It will hardly be necessary, as we advised in a previous article, to make "free trade, or protection" nn issue at our general elections this year: the question will inevitably assert itself. the canal, has been founded, and Is provided with schools, churches and a hospital, whilst, to ensure the fulfilment of the contract in the time specified, work is never allowed to stop day or night, the electric light taking turn about with the sun. The original scheme has been greatly changed, and when completed the total length of the canal will be nearly 86 miles, with a uniform depth of 26 feet and a width equal to twice that of the Suez canal. Should the contractor fail in having the work completed by the end of this year, he will be liable for the payment of £.00 per day for every day he may be behind the time stipulated in his agreement. Such, briefly told, are the principal items of interest respecting thiB magnificent work, which when completed is to make Manchester accessible for the largest craft, and which will cost about £7,000,000. That the carrying through of the project will be of great benefit to "Cottonopolis," goes without saying, but the effect upon Liverpool is not altogether so certain, and with anxious interest many people will watch to what extent the "city of docks" will be affected, with Milford Haven, on the one hand, endeavoring to secure the trade of the great Atlantic liners, and, on the other, Manchester setting up as a seaport on her own account. ThcMontrcal Star, in a note referring to this matter, states that, the voyage from Liverpool to Manchester by the eanal will take no longer than the time now occupied in docking a ship at the latter port. From this one fact, it can be understood that the opening of the eanal will give Manchester a long stride forward, and that Liverpool men are alive to this is evidenced by the tact that the Chamber of Commerce ia urging the absolute necessity of that city carrying on such improvements that ocean going vessels may enter that port at any state of the tide. NOTES AND COMMENTS. THE MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL. The history of the great enterprise now rapidly approaching its final stages of completion, and which is to result in making Manchester a aeaport, proves the truth of the adage that "they are able who seem to bo able," for the confidence of the projectors of this great scheme in the possibilty of carrying through the work to a successful issue has been no small factor in the surmounting of obstacles and the disarming of opposition to the project. In 1883 a bill was Introduced into the-Imperial House of Commons to construct a new waterway for ocean going steamers from the estuary of the Mersey, near Runcorn, to Manchester, through two or three locks and partly In the beds of the rivers Mersey and Irwell. Originally, the canal waB intended to be about twenty-one miles long, independently of the channel made by widening and deepening in the estuary. Great were the obstacles to be overcome and the interests to be disturbed by such a project A eanal, viaduct, and at least five railway bridges had to be removed and the lines diverted. As may bo supposed, the bill conferring such powers upon the projecting company was opposed both in the Commons and the Lords, and it was or'" in 1886, when presented with amendments, that both Houses sanctioned tho scheme. Later, the company again appealed to Parliament for the right to pay interest out of capital while the work was in progress, and on March 9th, 1886, this was sanctioned. In July, Messrs. Rothschild issued a prospectus asking for capital to tbo extent of £8,000,000, and to the astonishment of business men, the response was so poor that no shares were alloted.. In the following December a public meeting of Manchester men approved the scheme, together with the estimated cost of construction, and the capital being divided into ordinary and preference shares, With tbe sanction of Parliament, the bunkert had no difficulty in securing «mne;, By the end of August 1887 the requisite amount, £6,710,000, had been alloted, and on Novoinber llth following the work was commenced at East- ham Ferry, on the Cheshire side of the Mersey. The bishop of the diocese stated, about the end of tho yoar, that £60,000 had been already expended in wages on the work, and at the half- yearly meeting of the company, held In August last, it waB represented that up to that time the expenditure had been £6,427,231 on the work, and the receipts £6,666,406. It was further stated that the contract would be completed on time at the then rate of progoess. The magnitude and Importance of tho undertaking may be appreciated when it is stated that in August of last year, there were In the works 168 locomotive engines, 6,466 waggons, 06 steam navvies, 141 steam cranes, and 82 steam pile drivers, whilst 204 miles of railroad had been made and upwards of 12,000 men and 178 horses were at work. A town, the rising of which had merely been due to the necessity of providing accommodation for tho men working on Bishop McKenzle, of Zululand, who died on February 0th of enteric fever, gave instructions previous to his demise that his corpse Bhould be buried in Zulu fashion. Accordingly no coffin was used, but the body was tied up in a blanket in a kneeling position and was thus placed in a hole Ex. A printer's error is amusing the Queenslanders. Their leading newspaper, reviewing a work and prognosticating the wonders of science, remarked: "There need be demand no longer for Jules Verne's and other blackguard's works of imagination." The correction appeared in the issue of the following week as follows: "For 'other blackguards' please read 'Rider Haggard's.' The electric street railway at Atlantic City, which is run by overhead wlreB strung on ornamental iron posts, can run its cars at the rate of 30 miles an hour if need be, says an exchange. The stop and the start are without the least jar, six inches of snow offers no impediment, and in thirteen months the line has not been out of service for a moment, The average speed is ten miles per hour. An exchange prints the following: A young newspaper man who was employed on a western paper to do some department work proved to be so unsatisfactory that the editor asked him to resign. He did so and disappeared. Pretty soon the editor, in his search for new talent, noticed the brilliant work of somebody on a little back country paper that had never before amounted to anything, and determined to secure the man who did this work at any price. But what was his surprise and discomfiture to learn that it was the very same man whom he had discharged a few months before, and who, being allowed a larger swing, had developed an unexpected brilliancy. A writer in a New York sporting paper makes an interesting comparison of the various modes of locomotion, with the following result: A man can swim a mile tn 26 minutes 62 seconds; he can walk it In 6 minutes 23 seconds; he can cover it on snowshoes in 6 minutes 39%; he can run the distance in 4 minutes 12% seconds; he can ride it on a tricycle in 2 minutes 40 2-6 seconds; on a bicycle in 2 minutes 20 4-6 seconds, and can skate it in 2 minutes 12 3-6 Behind a trotting horse he gains nearly (our seconds by covering the distance in2minutes8 % seconds; whileona running horse he gallops the mile in 1 minute 80% seconds, and last and fastest, he sits in a railroad train and flies over a mile of the steel rails in 60>i seconds. The death ot Una Irish boy Rankin from hydrophobia will no doubt bo seized upon by a few opponents of Pasteur's inoculation treatment. But the treatment will survive. The percentage ot deaths amongst persons properly inoculated is very small. When the bite ia very close to the nerve centres lu the brain the virus of the rabid dog may prove too speedy in its action, but when the bite Ib on the arms, legs or lower part of the body, there is almost Invariably time for attenuated virus promptly injected close to the brain to get ahead of the virus Injected by the bite, and thus an attack of hy. drophobia can be prevented. Pasteur's system 1. too firmly established in the opinion of science to suffer in reputation from a death now and then of a person who has been subjected to inoculation. -Ex. Winnipeg appears to be having a hard time trying to get provincial assistance for its proposed exhibition. The tows council of Portage la Prairie passed the following resolution oh the subject lately: "Resolved, that whereaB it hat come to the notice of the council that a deputation of Winnipeg citizens has been interviewing the Local Government with the object of getting atsiat- ance towards holding a provincial, exhibition in the city of Winnipeg -P and whereas, it appears from a report of the interview that the Government waa not favorably disposed toward the same, the council take this opportunity of endorsing the action of the citizens of Winnipeg and urging upon the Government the importance of the scheme, believing that it would be to the best interests of the whole province to have a successful provincial exhibition held in the city ot Winnipeg." A recent statement, apparently au thorltatlve, let it be known that a bright young poet, who has poems printed In all the leading magazines and several of the weekly journals, was able to earn from this source, if we remember rightly, something like $300 a year. Now comes a "poetry editor," who g1 handles about 1,600 "poems" in the course of a year. He reports that the production of verse is on the increase, "with the quality getting decidedly worse." Fully a third of the "poetry" received by him is not worth reading: another third "warrants a reading for dersonal amusement," while about 2 per cent, of the rest is "worth considering," Thirty poems a year out of 1,600 iB a bad showing. Evidently the outlook for poetry and poets is not bo favorable aa it might be. The authors of some of the 1,470 poems which are cast out are entitled to a modicum of sympathy, but the heart throbs with emotion at the thought of the terrific strain to which the intellectuals of the "poetry editor" are sobjected from one year's end to the other.—Ex. Speaking of tho phenomenal town of Johnannesburg, in the Transvaal, an exchange Bays that, according to Sir Frederick Young, who visited the place last year, scarcely two years had passed since this town of twenty-five thousand inhabitants began its strange existence. The excitement and bustle of the motley crowd of gold-seekers and gold-finders it tremendous. All day long the same BUbject forms the theme of conversation on the streets and in the stores, houses and tents—gold ever gold. The only other thought that with many interrupts the contemplation of won or prospective wealth in the precious metal is that of drink. Sir Frederick hopes the day will come when the legitimate pursuit of wealth will take place In a less excitable and more decorous manner. He spent two hours wandering, candle in hand, through one of the most productive mines—Robinson's—with its magnificent lodes and millions ot tons of gold-producing quartz. He had reason to believe the yield permanent. The growth of the town is illustrated by the fact that in the latter part of the year 1866 there was not a post-office in existence, the revenue for the first quarter of 1887 was (836, but at the close of 1888 it bad risen to (37,940. The town of Johannesburg lies on the crest of a hill 5,000 feet above tho level of the sea. The habitations are of every variety, from substantial brick and stone structures to galvanized iron dwellings, and tents are still frequently met with. The Columbian job department is now in running order, and prepared to turn out first-class work of every description. * Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. Bell-Irving, Patterson 6c Co.

And then the aged feel that rest, Is of blessings sweetest, best, And sure to know that rest la near Brings much to comfort and to cheer, A rest above whatearth could bold, lo this 'tis pleasant to be old.

John Peroival li the head of the great firm of Percival Brothers, the owners of what, for the purposes of this story, shall he called the Grapnel Transportation Line, In shipping circles it is well known that Hr. John Percival, although In tbe main a kind man, is on Home occasions a cruel one; yet his very cruelty is a proof of his kindness. His Idea of honor upon the sea Is that, no matter how long it may take or how much tt may cost, a sound ship should stand by and help to the utmost a neighbor in distress. ThiB should be, but unfortunately It is not, the rule of every shipowner. When Hr. John Percival finds that a captain of one of his steamers has failed to help a wrecked or disabled craft he beoomes furious. It Ib said that he even dances about and breaks up the furniture, and that captain Ib summarily dismissed from the service of the Grapnel Line, together with suoh officers as have aided or abetted him. The consequence of this policy en the part of Hr. John Percival is that every poor ship upon the soa whioh breaks its walking-beam or loses its smokestacks nnd masts In a storm hopes' that it may fall Into the hands ot the Grapnel steamers. One night Captain Alexander Dor- went, of the Percival Brothers' ship Et- verama, was pacing the deck in company with the ship's surgeon, Dr. Allis, when they heard a boom in the distanoe. "That's a gun," said the captain, stop- Ming short. it had been very stormy all oi the last three days, and had begun to clear only ut noon that day. "It certainly Is and there's another," returned the surgeon. "I believe some boat has been struck hard by the storm nnd is firing for relief." As he spoke a rocket could be dimly descried, going up far to the right of • them. "I'm behindhand with this gale and all," sighed tho captain, "but I suppose I must stand to and help those fellows, even if it takes a week." The ship waB ordered about at onco,' colored lights were burned, guns were fired, and shortly after sunrise the next morning the Esperanta found herself towing along the English steamer Cambyses, of the Pendleton Freight Line, Her engine was broken, ber captain said, and she had beon lying for forty-eight hours unable to move. For two days after hor rosoue by the Esperanta her officers appeared to be overcome with gratitude. Captain Derwent lent the disabled steamer many tools. The carpenter and engineer of tiie Esperama offered also their assistance in helping to repair tbe engine, but this was steadily declined. The officers of the Cambyses did not think it was "worth while;" they would "tinker a little themselves as they went along, without troubling the Esperanta any more than was necessary." For four days the Esperanta steamed slowly through the waste of waters, towing her huge charge. The Cambyses was heavily laden and retarded the progress of her friend woefully. ' On the evening of the fourth day Captain Derwent and the surgeon were again walking the dock. It was not stormy, but the fog was quite dense. Tho few passengers had retired to tholr state-rooms. The orew wero at their posts. Every thing was very still, except for the throbbing engine and the rolling of the waves. "Queer lot we've got over there," said Captain Derwent, jerking his hand toward the Cambyies. "Have tbey spoken you at all to-day?" asked the surgeon. "Nary a word since early morning. 1 don't like their looks. Anybody would think from their manners yesterday and to-day that we were receiving a groat favor from them in their allowing us to tew them. They wanted to know this morning If we couldn't go alittlo faster. I suppose they think we are trying to mount up a big bill for towage. If they give me any more of their 'sass' I'll cut loose from them and John Percival may say what he pleases." "What's that?" asked Dr. Allis, stopping short In his walk. "Who's meddling with tho hawsers?" "Just so," said tho captain, in a troubled and excited voice. "That's tho rasping of ropes and no mistake. 1—I believe," he orled, furiously, "that that — Cambyses has out the cables!" They rushed aft. Tho cables wore dragging In the brine and through the pitchy darkness and fog tbe lights of , the Cambyses oould be dimly seen and ' her screw heard as she steamed oft in i the distance. "The oursl" yelled the captain. "They've mended their engine with our tools and things and now they think tbey are going to get off without paying a cent of towage. The short-sighted fools! They were nevor more mistaken in their lives." The next morning rose dear and sunny, but the ocean was unspeoked by any sign of life as the captain swept the i horizon with his glass. The Esperatua, | with all steam crowded on, hurried to- [ mud its destination, a port whioh we Lwill call Terrapin. 1 Four days later Captain Derwent wm , walking up tho street of that city to* ) ward the company's office, to make hli t report to John Percival. He had taken a tug up the harbor, feeling that the > Grapnel Company must be very anxious. Tho Esperanta was five days' overdue. The captain opened the office door and smilingly saluted a olerk or two who sat there. They only half-bowed to him. The jolly officer wondered at their coolness, but pushed on without delay toward the small Inner office of the head of the firm. John Percival sat there, his massive frame bending over his desk. "Good morning, Hr. Peroival," begin Captain Derwent tn his loud, cheery tone, "I hurried up the bay ft little In advance of the Esperanta, but—" John Peroival tossed his gray head as and sprang to his feet, glowering at hia visitor like an angry lion. "You scoundrel!" he half roared and half hissed. "Get out of my office, or you'll leave it at the toe of my boot! How dare you show your skulking face in here? You've disgraced my line, sirt disgraced your profession! disgraced us alll" "But—but—" began the poor captain. "I tell you, hold your tongue!" yelled John Peroival, growing angrier as he proceeded. "Haven't I heard, sir, how you passed the Cambyses in mid ocean? You heard their guns, you saw their signal, and left them to shift for themselves You're a precious sooundrel, that's what you are, Aleck Derwentl Passing those poor fellows—" "But—" protested the captain again, now quite as wrathy as his employer. "Hold your tongue, I tell you!" John Peroival went on, calming down not ft whit "The Cambyses got In three hours ago, and I have heard their story. Get out of my office, sir, and never let me set eyes on you again!" He gave the muscular captain a push whleh sent him outside the door before he knew what he was about, slammed the door behind him, and bolted it loudly. Captain Derwent made his way slowly out to the street. He understood the situation perfectly now, and knew that it was only a question of time before the short-sighted officers of the Cambyses should receive thoir deserts. But that steamer would doubtless leave as soon as she possibly could, and It was dealr- able to have the matter righted before she got away. Up the harbor, not ten minutes' sail away, was steaming the* Esperanta, her flags all afloat and her passengers leaning over the railings. The captain stood quietly on the dock till she came up, and then he sought the surgeon and mate, and told them oi the perfidy of the Cambyses. in a tew moments the story was all over the ship. Captain Derwent was very popular, and every one was indignant that John Percival should have accepted tbe inventions of tho Cambyses without giving his own men a chance to present their Bide. Thero were eighteen passengers on board of the Esperania, and they all declared that they "wished they oould tell John Peroival how tho case really stood." "The office Is close by, Captain Dor- went," said one of them; "it won't take but a moment. Let us all go with you. John Percival can hardly refuse to ao* copt such overwhelming testimony as that." "We'd thank you, captain," said the engineer, touching his hat as he appeared, rushing from his work and on fire with tho exciting news — "we'd thank you If you would let us all go to Mr. Percival and baok you up." "It can't do any harm, and will clear up the matter quicker than any thing elso possibly can," said tho mate. Captain Derwent laughed. "It certainly would," ho assented, and in a hubbub of onthusinsm the strange procession started, leaving the ship In charge of the cook und scullions. It seemed as though all Terrapin camo out to stare at tlie sight as tho Esperanto's crew and passengers, vastly amused at themselves, mado tholr way toward John Porolval's offioe. In a state of ir- resistible good-nature they broke open the door aud swarmed every nook and corner of the largor outer room in which a dozen clerk., were writing. One of the pusscngers, who had been selected as the spokesman, an Italian nobleman of tine character and presence, and personally acquainted with John Percival, approached the still bolted door of the private office. It was openod at bis knock. I have come, my dear air," began the nobleman, bowing oourteously, "to report to you tho admirable fidelity ot the oommandlng officer of the Esperanta." Tbo choleric old man almost jumped into the air. What do you mean, sir? What do you mean?" he cried, sternly. Tho mass of interested faces outside his door just then caught John Per- olval's eye, and ho could not but listen to the true story of the Esperanto's ad- venturo with tho Oambyse*. In the face of tho overwhelming testimony presented thoro was nothing to do for the doughty old man but to believe It, and to tonder a humble apology to Captain Derwent. The officers of the Cambysei were arrested just as they were getting up steam .to depart, and ft letter was soon on its way to her owners, whioh was couched in such terms that it brought a large payment to the Grapnel Line for towage and for assistance rendered. As a portion of this money was divided among the orew of the Esperanta tbey felt amply repaid for their little trip to tho company's office and for the Insult offered to their captain, who, it to needless to Bay, stands higher than ever to-day In the regard of the owners of the Grapnel Line.—Kate Upson Clark, In Youth's Companion. How to fell Blenched Blondest Bleached hair Is brought to such an art now that it is almost Impossible for tho casual observer to tell the genuine from the artificial blonde. But if in a carefully-arranged head of hair as yellow as ripe whoat you detect one dark brown or black hair at the nape of the neck or near tho ear, the story to told. Straws show which way the wind blows, and the single dark hair tells where the dye missed. The dark-haired woman who Is determined to be a blonde must livo the life ot a slave to this desire, as hair grows at the rate of an Inch a month, There is a shade ot natural auburn hair which is Inclined to be utreakod and much lighter at the ends than at the roots. This kind ot hair, now ao fashionable, might be mistaken for the streaked and striped bleached blonde by an inexperienced eye; but, if glossy, bright and healthful in tone, it is sure to be natural, no matter how varied are Its shades; while if It to dry and broken, it is safe to suspect the bleacher's art A natural pale golden blonde has blonde eyelashes and eyebrows, and In real lite black eyelashes never accompany golden hair, unless it owes its hue to art, however much we may find this combination In heroines of novels.—Chicago Herald. . Where AU the Bags Oo. Housowlvos must often have wondered where all the rags go to after they pass into the wagon of any one of the several hundrod ragmen who pass through the alleys with their monotonous cries. These gatherers of old rags take them to warehouses whore thoy are bought in bulk, and then assorted by girls according to quality. There was a time when most of the rags were sent to paper mills. Now a very Binall proportion of rags are mado into paper, straw and clay being theohlof ingredients. Fine linen paper, so called, is mode of rags. Ninety per cent ot the rags collected, however, go into the manufacture of "shoddy," of whioh cheap ready-made clothing Is manufactured. This stuff Ib now made up into the brightest and most attractive patterns, and can only be told when new from wool by the expert, and by experience with the wearer. "Shoddy is king."

How the Japanese and Chinese Sleep In Their Native Land. In the land of the Orient the tastes ot people as regards sleeping accommodations are as widely different from the English and American as their daily life. In Japan the only bedding is made in the shape of a huge gown or overcoat, with sleeves, and each sleeve accommodates a sleeper, who crawls Into the aperture very much as a kitten would. Like their cousins, the Chinese, the Japs use no sheets, unless the lining ot the "night overcoats" can be looked upon aa sheets. Their pillows are miniature bureaus made out of either rattan or polished wood, filled with drawers to hold their jewelry and other valuables while they themselves are asleep. There are no bedsteads In Japan. The same spotless floor that answers for tiblo, chairs and dancing stage Is utilized for sleeping purposes. In China there are bedsteads, and these, with the bed-clothing, form the most ornamental portion of the household furniture. It ia as the piano and pillow-shams of a well-regulated American house. It is a common thing for a Chinese gentleman to spend 85,000 or oven 810,000 oash for a beautifully carved and jeweled bedstead, and 81,000 or more tor simple embroideries on the edges and corners of his favorlto quilt These latter are very numerous and varied among those who are able to enjoy snch luxuries. None of these coverlets are less than "three-ply" affairs; lndoed, suoh is tho superstition among the almond-eyed aristocracy that not one of them could be hired to sloop under a coverlet that is composed of only one or two thicknesses. The former Indicates (to their mind) extreme poverty, while two is considered an even or unlucky number. Therefore all tbo Chinese bed-clothes are either padded or a thin sheet of paper is put in the center. Most all the quilts or beb-clotbes of the rich are made of silks or satins, with highly colored embroidery work on the exterior, and linod with strong white silk or fine linen, and are only washed about once a year. As In Japan, no sheet is used. The Chinese bed-making In the mornings consists of folding up every artiole ot bed-clothes In long folds In suoh a manner as to expose all the beautiful needle-work, and then they are carefully piled one on top ot the other upon a neat shelf built against the wall Inside of the artistically hung bed curtains. Then the latter Is carefully drawn apart to expose the rloh ruga and opium layout upon the bed and the folded bed-clothos upon the shelves. The poorer class of the Chinese have only one "pe," or padded quilt, thick enough to keep them warm tho coldest nights in tho winter, while In summer, like the rich, they use nothing save their own undergarments. In other words it Is either a feast or a famine as far as sleeping comforts are concerned. Unlike the rich, tbe poorer classes of Chinamen take off tbe linings of their "pes" about twice a year for cleansing purposes. If a bed in a first-class American hotel were given to a Chinese gentleman ho would probably sit up all night waiting for a place to lie down.— Wong Chin Foo, in N. Y. Sun. WHITE HOUSE DINNERS. What You Must Do In Case Yon Are Invited to One of Them. The usual hour tor a state dinner is eight o'clock p. m. As tho guests arrive, whioh should be fifteen minutes beforo the hour set, they are shown to the rooms for tho removal of wrappings and descend by the private stairway to the grand corridor and prooeed direct to the East room where the President and lady await them. Each .gentleman upon entering tbe room is handed by an usher a small envelopo containing a card inscribed with the plan of the table and bearing tho name of the lady be will escort On tho diagram the number of tho seats be and the lady wlll occupy are marked. After being received by tho President he examines the card and immediately joins the lady whom ho will accompany to the state dinlng-hall. The lady whom he has brought remains with him until her escort appears. All his guests having arrived at the appointed hour the steward announces that dinner is In readiness. Tbe President, with the first lady guest leads the way to the state dining-room, followed by the remaining guests. Tbe presiding lady, escorted by the principal man, closes the line. The Marine Band, meanwhile, performs a suitable march. In the dining-room the guests find their places and take the seats assigned to them by the plate cards, which correspond in location with the diagram handed them upon entering the East room. There are four services at all state dinners. The dishes In their order are served on silver salvers by waiters, the guests helping themselves. The chief waiter serves the President first and then proceeds toward the right, and the second waiter toward the left The same course is observed on the opposite side of the table, beginning with the presiding lady. No one to ever served twice. The plates of one course are removed as soon as each guest is finished and tho plate for the noxt to put In Its place. At the olose of the dinner, which lasts about three hours, it has been the custom of late years for the gentlemen to leave the table with the ladles and not return. The custom during the earlier administrations was for the ladles to have their coffee served in the drawing- room and tor the gentlemen to return to drink a single glass of wine to the health of the President Gentlemen wishing to enjoy a cigar retire during the coffee to tho corridor at the toot of the private stairway, but join the ladlos when the presiding lady makes the motion to retire. After one promenade through the suite of parlors the gentlemen surrender the ladies to the gentlemen with whom they came, and with their own ladies take leave ot the President and hts lady. They should receive their wrappings and leave the building quietly and promptly. The last of the guests should havo retired within thirty mlnutesaftM leaving the table.-Wash- ingtonJllfc'/^enia, ptda't Work.

Lord to Mary, eldest daughter of John Whiteside, all of Lulu Inland, B. C. LOCAL AND PROVINCIAL Mr. T. F. Sinclair baa the contract for Mr. Rithet'B new wharf at Victoria. which promises to be a very substantial structure, atone and iron piles being entirely used. A dredger is being imported for tbe purpose of dredging out to a uniform depth of 28 feet at low water at the proposed wharves, which will he in reality a baain and thoroughtly protected from the effects of wind or tbe swell of the Straits. It is intended for the accommodation of the new steamera of the C.P.R. between thia city and Japan and China. Mr. R. Balfour, Superintendent of North Arm bridges, was in the city today. He reports that work on the re- Eairs to the Bridges is going along slowly ut satisfactorily. The number of men employed is few, but tbe force will be in* creased shortly. Mr. Balfour says that his examination of the structures has convinced him that the whole job waB done in a very slovenly and unworkmanlike manner, and it will require the greatest care in the reconstruction to bring the bridges to the proper and lasting strength required. The Surrey Terror. Dr. Cooper and Dr. Hall were appointed a board of medical examiners. yesterday, by Mr. Moresby, to examine into the mental condition of George B. Keith, the man who has ao long kept Surrey in terror. They found him insane and committed him accordingly to the asylum. Dr. Cooper says Keith's is a peculiar case. He can be cured for a month or perhaps more, during which time he will have full possession of hiB senses, but nt any moment he Ib liable to become a dangerous, maniac. He is incurable, and tlie remainder of hiB life will probably be spent within the walla of the asylum, to which refuge he was removed last night. The arrest of thiB man will be a great relief to the people of Surrey, who nave stood in dread of his sudden < bursts of insanity for nearly a year.

Seeding lu the North Arm and Lulu Island district is much behind this year, owing to the continued damp and raw weather.

Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. W. O. T. U. The regular weekly meeting of the W. 0. T. U. took place in the Orange Hall yesterday. The usual opening exercises were followed by a discussion up* on the suppression of narcotics, the superintendent of this department taking the chair. The effects of opium and morphine, tobacco, tea and coffee were talked over, the ladies bringing forward the opinions of eminent physicians as well as instances from their own observation. A law lately passed in some of the Southern States was noticed, prohibiting the selling or giving of cigarettes to minors, and a wish was expressed that we might have a similar law. The hereditary effects of narcotics was dwelt upon, and cases cited from competent authorities of defective vision, heart disease and brain trouble being caused by the excessive use of tobacco by fathers and grandfathers of the sufferers. Various opinions were expressed in regard to tea and coffee, but all agreed that even these if used to excess might produce aome of tho same effects which characterize the more powerful narcotics. The regular monthly business meeting will be held next Wednesday at 3:30 o'clock in the same place, WAS IT MURDER* A Lad Shot and Killed at Fort Douglas and no Eipianatlon. About three weeks ago a lad named Percival, son of Mr. Percival, the trader at Fort Douglas, Harrison Lake, went out shooting accompanied by a half- breed boy about the same age. After an absence of several hours the half- breed returned to the Fort and announced that young Percival was dead. A searching party went out immediately and found the lad lying under a busn dead, with a gunshot wound in hia body. Not far distant the gun was found standing against a tree, but sufficiently fui away to preclude tho idea of tho shot having entered the body through the careless handling of the weapon by the deceased. Whether the shooting was tho result of accident or not, cannot be learned, as the halfbreed boy maintains a sullen silence and will give no particulars on the subject. The shooting is considered very suspicious by many, although if it was intentional it is inexplicable, as the lads were fast friends, and no reason can be assigned for a quarrel leading to such serious results. Mr. Percival wbb in the city yesterday and left for Victoria to-day to consult tbe authorities. It is not unlikely that a full investigation of the affair will be ordered by the Government, and a coroner's inquest held. The case certainly calls for definite action whether the shooting proves to be accidental or not. ■»■ ♦ » RAILWAY MATTERS. Mr. Nelaun Bennett Visits Westminster to Arrange (or the Construction of Important Works, Mr. Nelson Bennett, president of the WeBtminBter, Fairhaven & Southern Railway, accompanied by Mr. H. Y, Thompson, of the same company, arrived in. the city last night. To-day these gentlemen were in conference with Mr. B. Douglas and other members of the Southern Railway Co., with regard to the work to be performed in Westminster In connection with the company's agreement with the city. A representative of Tint Columbian had a short interview with the above-named gentlemen and it can be considered satisfactory ao far as it went. Mr. Bennett said he did not intend to remain In Westminster very long—just sufficient time to conclude bis business and then he would be off again. The object of their visit. Mr, Thompson said, was to look over the situation here and make arrangements for the work to be done as per agreement. Tlio exact location of the Brownsville wharf will be fixed before their departure, and all matters relating to its construction arranged, In regard to bridging the river, establishing a ferry, piling along the water front,building the bridge to Lulu Island and making the other improvements called for by the agreement, all these are under consideration, and will receive early attention, as it is necessary that definite action should be taken in order to prepare for tho entrance of the railway. Neither Mr. Bennett or Mr, Thompson would speak plainly on the company's plans, but they assured our representative that the line would be completed and running within the time specified. Mr. Bennett visited Brownsville this afternoon in connection with the wharf and other improvements to be constructed there. Grading from Fairhaven north is being actively prosecuted along Belling- ham Bay. Tenders have been called for the construction of the line from the Bay to the international boundary at Blaine, and the contracts will be let within a few days. The contract must be completed within a specified time, and work will be pushed from both ends of the contract. Westminster'! Example. The city of New Westminster, B. C, though not as large a place as Winnipeg, held un exhibition last year, and it was such a great success, that the city has voted a large sum for Improving the grounds and buildings, with a view of making the exhibition a permanent, annual affair. The Idea is to have a bark and exhibition grounds combined. Winnipeg is without anything worthy the name of a park, and the plan of a combined park and exhibition grounds might be a good thing for this city. The city should have a good park, in a convenient locality. In this way, money spent upon the grounds would also serve tlie double purpose of providing a place of recreation for the citizens.— Winnipeg Commercial is certainly enough romance about the whole affair to make a capital magazine story. The trouble arose in a small way, and was at first no bigger than a man's hand, like the cloud mentioned in Isaiah. Only, this hand waB muscular and horny; tarry and hairy, and grasped an iron belaying pin and travel- Fed through the circumambient air with the velocity of the proverbial thousand of brick, until the pin brought up against the thick skull of one of the seamen; even to the knocking of the luckless marlneer off his pins, and the decanting of a copious sample of his sanguineous fluids. For this bold behaviour the law decided that Captain MacLean had better not sail the raging main for awhile, and accordingly sent off two brave myrmidons to formally invite the captain to tarry a season on shore, and hear what the lawyers had to say about it. Now, the captain aud his merry men all, had, according to immemorial custom, sought solace for their aorrow at parting with these hospitable shores, by pouring out liberal libations to Neptune's shrine, with the usual consequences, In this connection it might be stated that eminently apt was tlie laconic epigram of a spectator of these orgies, who said, "these fellows arearumlot," but as they were in port, little else could be expected of them. When the two officers got aboard the schooner (the Mar/ Ellen), Captain Maclean and his jovial crew were found busy getting under way, the anchor having been already tripped, the spankers and foresail set and the jibs fluttering up the stays, and her head slowly paying off. Officer Millar preferred his demand and received scant courtesy in reply. But he is a danntless man, and not the one to take no for an answer, even from a king, or the still more absolute monarch, a captain on his own main deck. He sprang to the wheel, wrenched it hard over and in a few minutes had the satisfaction of feeling the schooner's keel go bump on a sand bank. Captain Maclean was wroth and a terrible sight he presented in his anger, The schooner waa cleared off the bank and waB once more cleaving the blue, when the intrepid officer again dashed at the wheel and grounded the vessel. What might have happened then no one can tell, had not assistance in the persons of a substantial reinforcement of police dashed alongside in a boat and scrambled aboard, like trained boarders or scared torn cats, and taken absolute possession of the schooner and Iter recusant crew. The captain waa token to the Hotel de Ville and five different charges were entered against him on Tuesday. The outcome of the case will be watched for with great interest by everybody. At a meeting of the Press Gallery Association of tbo British Columbia Legislative Assembly, held last night, Mr. Charles H. Gibbons, representative of the Cotonist, was elected president by acclamation for the present session. All nt the meeting united in congratulating the newly-elected president, and some feeling speeches were made, highly eulogistic of the popular gentleman, Mr. Harry Munn, representee of the Times, and who waB chosen secretary, and treasurer of any funds that may miraculously percolate into the press gallery exchequer, in speaking of the new president, took occasion to compliment that gentleman upon the fine record he had carved out for himself with his trenchant pen. He had known Mr, Gibbons several years^ and had always found him, besides being a very prince of good follows, one of nature's noblemen, (Applause.) He was proud to have hhn as a colleague in the gallery, aud hoped he might long live to enjo; the honors which the future undoubted ly had in atore for him. (Renewed Applause.) Mr. Graham, of Tub Columbian, stated that, as Byron said of Francis Jeffrey, there were few men living he would sooner take his wine with. He had known Mr. Gibbons only a brief space df recorded time, and he was happy to say that gentleman's conduct had uniformly been of a kind to inspire feelings of admiration aud respect. The life of the reporter was, like the policeman's, "not a happy one," but it was on occasions such rs these that the journalistic spirit soared. The choice of president which had been made was worthy of tho highest praise, and he prophesied that the day was not far off when Mr. Gibbons would be holding down an editorial chair on some great daily. Mr. Gibbons, in an exceedingly humorous and witty speech, thanked his enthusiastic confreres and referred to an oditoral which appeared in the columns of Tub Columbian the other day, in reference to journalists amalgamating and forming a society. This was the true spirit of this enlightened age; the complete key to the meaning or our civilization. Why should not we journalists join hands in strong, affectionate brotherhood and march forward, the vanguard of the wave of progress, the torch and buckler bearers of liberty, advancement and education? (Great applause), And why Bhould the journalistic profession any longer lay itself open to such charges ns were lately preferred against It by President Elliot of Yale college? That deep affront had rankled in many a journalistic heart, and he, among the rest, had felt it strongly. But a grand union of all the English-speaking journalists was the remedy for this; the panacea for ull ills. He hoped the day was near for the consummation of that thought. (Applause). A proposal made by one of the wags of the party, in nintmdment to the resolution to mnke the Red Lion Tavern the society's temporary headquarters, "that the temporary headquarters of this association be at the Read Liar Tavern," wns received in deep funereal silence, until the perpetrator stole away to other shades. DOMINION PARLIAMENT. the city has nothing to grant in the premises, the proposition will probably not be urged. The editor of the Reveille had an accidental interview with Mr, Bennett yesterday morning in which Mr. Bennett refused to. be interviewed regarding the Manitoba deal. Whether the deal ib not consummated, whether it is unsatisfactory to the gentleman, or whether hia reticence proceeds from a dislike to being quoted by the Belling* ham Bay papers, ia a problem. He however volunteered the information that work would be pushed on what certainly has been the Fairhaven & Southern, in the north, south and up the Skagit. The Blashers are four miles east of Sedro now. The northern branch will be Sushed through Ferndale and Blaine to ew Westminster by July. The line will be run along the shore to the Bell- ingham mill anyhow, and perhaps back of the town. He knows nothing of any arrangement with Mr. Cornwall. As for the terminus of the Manitoba system at Seattle or Fairhaven he had nothing to say. THia.coM. Reveille. . Mr. D. Drysdale has returned to the city. Mr. H. Y. Thompson, of Fairhaven, is in the city. Mr. J. M. Stewart, of Vancouver, was in the city to-day. His Honor Judge Bole returned from Victoria yesterday. Dr. Robertson, medical health officer, Vancouver, was in the city yerterday and so-day on a pleasure visit. Mr. Nelson Bennett, president of the WeBtminster, Fairhaven & Southern Railway, is registered at the Colonial. Mr. C. D, Rand, the well-known real estate dealer, of Rand Bros., Vancouver, has been in the city looking up investments. ■ . A drowning accident occurred at Mt. Pleasant on Tuesday, says the News-Advertiser, the particulars of which are Particularly sad. The little daughter of tr. James McConnell fell into a tub of water during the temporary absence of her mother, and when discovered a few minutes later was dead. Much sympathy is expressed for the bereaved parents. ■ »■»-«.

The House was in committee of supply all day. The estimates for the Department of Agriculture were under consideration. Messrs, Davin and Daly. Government supporters, attacked the Government's immigration policy, and urged the voting of #1,000,000 annually for that purpose. Reported Hallway Deal. It reported upon good authority that the F. & S. railroad has passed into the hands of the Great Northern. If Mr. Hill has sufficient Interest In Belling- hnm.Bay to make it the real terminus of tlio Manitoba system this change will result to ub in a vast increase of business and population. If on the other hand the F. & S. is to bo but a portion of a north and south line reaching from New Westminster to Portland, with Seattle as the point of departure overland, the purchaao has little significance. The people of Belliiiglitiin Bay who are supposed to be well posted aro confident that the former supposition is true, Whether tho sale will affect the building of the road along our water front is not known. Tbe last suggestion from the F. A S. company was that the city should grant the road a strip 000 feet wide over the tide flats, Inasmuch as Children Cry for Pitcher's Cattorh.' PERSONAL.
