They have spent since they commenced, 23 years ago, ,£l,- 170,000 in purchasing lands and erecting buildings. They have now over 10,000 rooms occupied byjnore than 18,000 working people. They have borrowed £400,000, of which £50,000 1ms been repaid. When the new buildings at' present in course of erection uro finished the Trust will have a net income of £39,000. The average income of each family occupying tlioso buildings is not quite six dollars a week. Tlio average weekly rent of each dwelling is a little over a dollar. This rent includes the free use of water,laundries, sculleries, and bathroom, Only 74 of the houses have as many as four apartments; 1,600 have three; more than 2,150 have two, and a little over 700 one. In these buildings the birth rates are higher and the death rates lower than in London generally. Tlie thing pays. Why could not other wealthy men follow suit? Such buildings are needed even in Canada, and a better plan for doing good could nob easily be thought of.— Globe. The British Columbian. VOLUME 27 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1885. NUMBER 28 In lecturing at Toronto tbe Rev. Dr. Wild referred to tho progress made by the Dominion. Canada's destiny, he said, was on a line with that of Britain. The country wus 250,000 miles larger than the United States. From 1840 to 1880 the United States increased in population three-fold, while Canada increased five-fold. There was more prosperity and less poverty than anywhere elso in tlie world. The imports and exports of tlie States amounted to $33 per capita, while those of Canada wore $40. The tonnage of the Dominion was 2-7 per capita, while that of the United States was 1-13. The taxation of the United States was 86.13 per head, of which 81.20 was for State purposes. In Canada there was no State tax, and the amount collected by the Dominion was §4.78 per head. He did not think peoplo would want annexation if thuy knew that. In Canada the national debt was for great public works, improvements,-etc., while in most other countries the debt was for war. He spoko in scathing terms of tlioso who for political purposes decried the country and injured its credit. Canada was a grand country, and if they could not speak good cf it they had better keep their mouths shut. It must bo specially gratifying to Canadians to see what confident security has been inspired in the British mind regarding the Afghan difficulty by the fact that their late Governor-General, Lord Dufferin, is now on tho spot as Viceroy in India. In addition to his great experience in ofiiee in Canada, and -elsewhere, Lord Dufferin has great natural administrative abilities, aud somehow the British public feel con fident that whatever was necessary to be done that could possibly be dono was sure to have been done by him, without awaiting tedious correspondence with the home government. This greatly contributed to the easy mind which tlio British public felt during the recent war- scare with Russia. No other British official, either at homo or abroad, commands or deserves tho same confidence and universal respect that Lord Dufferin docs. And this is not only accorded to him by both Liberals and Conservatives iu Britain, but also by the natives of India, who in addition entertain a firm belief in his ability to rule them wisely. That conviction on tlieir part will alone greatly tend towards peace and contentment in India, while his presence thore will have a deterrent effect upon Russian encroachments in Afghan. The Russians know as well as the British and Canadians that Lord Dufferin is at present the right man in tho right place, and one that cannot bo trifled with. Under him India will at all times he thorongly prepared for either peace or war with Russia. —-Scottieh-A merican. Napoleon's maxim that "war should pay its own cost" has not been forgotten by Russia. Her Central Asia conquests have worked steadily toward the rich gold fields of the Tien-Shan Mountains and the minus of rubies aud lapis lazuli in Upper Badakshan, Her recent attack on Turkey has regained the ample slice of Bessarabia cut from her bordor in 1856. Her present movements in Afghanistan are no wild crusado aftor empty glory, but a deliberate grasp at the rich valley of the Murghab (the | are suffering from scurvy. Nile of the Turcoman Desert) and its Khartoum, Herat, the great centre of Afghan trade. One stroll through the vaulted bazaar that stretches 350 yards into the town from tho Cabul Gate, one glance at tho heaps of Persian carpets and Candahar fruits, tea chests from China, and embossed sabres froni Bengal, will convince any traveller of the paramount commercial importance derived by the "hill- throned city" from its position between Balkh and Merv oh the north and Candahar on tho south, barely 360 miles west of Cabul, and only 190 miles east of the Persian mart of Mesliid. Moreover, its possession, in addition to giving Russia a flourishing seat of trade, would enable her to check a long-continued; and successful competition. Herat has for years past been the gate through which Manchester cottons and calicos, Sheffield cutlery, and Birmingham hardware have poured into Central Asia to crowd out Russian goods; $30,000,000 worth of such wares passing yearly through Bokhara alone. — N. Y, Tones, Salmon. On Tuesday, on the invitation of Mr. H. C. Boeton, a meeting was held of gentlomen interested in tho canned salmon trade with a view of promoting tho'sale of this article of food. There were present Messrs. H. C. Heeton, Bull (Crosso it Black well), J. H. Botts, Bilsuti (Hanson, Son, Evison & Bartor), and (ireun (H. U. & S. Budgctt & Cu.) Mr. Beeton stated that this meoting waa iu furtherance of ono held at tho Health Exhibition in June last, tho practical outcome of which had been that weekly demonstrations of the various ways of serving salmon had boon given at the cookery classes hold at tho Exhibition. He stated that he had obtained these and othor recipes, and his object in convening tho meeting was to discuss the advisability of printing them for circulation among tho middle classes more particularly. Mr, Bilson stated tlmt iu his experience tho bulk of the consumption took place in summer, when the fish was eaten cold; if the public generally were mado botter acquainted with simple methods by whioh tho salmon could bo served hot, ho thought there would bo a much Inrgor winter consumption, and for that reason ho believed that it would bo udvmitageoiu to bring a few simple recipes bofore the notico uf tho public. One disadvantage under which tho trade labored was tho amount of rubbish sent hero, muoh of whicli ought to go into the Thames rather timn into consumption, aud lio deprecated the action of certain larpo houses who appeared to pay littlo regard tu quality so long ub they could distribute imhiion at low rates. Mr. Bell considered from hia experience that many of the packers wero much to blame in that thoy appeared to pay so littlo attention tu thoir reputation. For instance, aalmon of a particular brand might be of the liuest quality ouo Benson, aud tho next mcro rubbish. Now, the lish would not havo altered, and the deterioration could only bo due to improper packing. Hia firm had found it uecessnrry un this account to be most particular in purchasing—they examined every caso before sending it out; and he had frequently had us many as 2U0 tins of samples opened in ordor to arrive al an adequate comparison. Mr. Boeton said it was quite clear that what waB wanted was a smaller pack nnd more caro in canning; at tho samo time-, with many of the various canneries so far from commercial centres, thero was much difficulty in exorcising sufficient supervision; in fact, to show the difficulty, he aaid that a friend of his who packed sardines at Deal found groat trouble in getting the work properly dono even under his very oyes. Mr. Green thought the point to be oonaidorod was the bost means to get tho recipes boforo the public. He questioned whether grocers would circulate thom if they wore simply put into the cases with the goods. Mr. Botts said that grocers woro ao inundated with handbills and pamphlets that it was not likely thoy would givo auy particular attention to these pnmphlotB unless they weru brought under their notico, He suggested that with tho recipes a no to should bo printed that tho tins ought alwaya to be emptied aa booh as opened. This wai agreed to, and it was decided that Mr, Bootun and Mr. Bilson should prepare tho pamphlets, tho latter gentleman alsu undertaking to bring the matter bofore tho canned goods section of the London Chamber of Commorce, —Grocer's {London) Gazette, Stranded In Hudson Bay* Montreal, March 23,—The office of the Hudson Baay Company has roceived full particulars of the whereabouts of their missing vessel, the Prince of Wales, which left Mouse Factory, Hudson Bay, for London, Eng., with a cargo of furs, in September last. Tho vessel waa caught in tho ice before reaching tho opon sea, and all attempts to locate her woro fruitless. It now appears that tho vessel lies high and dry on one of tho small islands iu the bay, having been forced through tho mud by the im-" moiiBo ico floes which wero sotting down the Gulf, and whioh snapped the anchor chains by which sho was hold. The vessel is badly stranded, and it is feared that when the ico breaks up in June she will become a total wrock. The cargo ia worth $300,- 000, The crow deaertod tho vessol and made their way to the centre of, the island, whoro thoy havo been living over since under canvas, and suffering untold miseries from the extreme cold, tho scarcity uf provisions and wator.

Wednesdny Morning, April 8, 1885, Some time ngo the collector of customs at tliis port received instructions forbidding liim to communicate any official statistics for publication. Sinco tlmt time the collector lias refused to furnish The Columbian with the usual monthly return of collections. We notice, however, tliat both the Victoria and Nanaimo newspapers continue to publish rt'tirus from the respective ports us usual. Query : Wore tlie instructions applicable to this city only, or nre they being ignored by the Victoria and Nanaimo officials 1 Notwithstanding the assurances that a peaceful solution of the eastern question will be reached, war preparations continue without interruption. The vigor of these preparations, in tho face of probable peace, shows clearly how certain it is that Britain ftill defend her Indian possessions at all hazards. The evidences of a hearty loyalty among the Indian princes are increasing, and the Ameer of Afghanistan does not seem at all backward in expressing bis preference for British ascendancy. The outlook is, certainly encouraging even in the event of war. Our Rebellion. The Kiel rebellion seems to be developing into something much more serious than was at tirst expected. While the government at Ottawa professes to regard the event as of comparatively small moment, it is making military preparations upon such a scale as to convince any person that there is at least much ground for apprehension. Thousands of Canadian troops have been hurried to the scene of the outbreak, and others are held in readiness to inarch at short notice. It is now stated that the government has been considering tiie propriety of appointing a commission to confer with tho rebels aud ascertain what tlieir grievances are. It seems to us tliis comes too late to accomplish any good purpose. If the half-breeds had a grievance which required redress, it wns known to the government long ago, aud ought to have received prompt attention. It is too late now to talk of grievances after these people have deliberately organized themselves for armed resistance of the authorities, and plundered the innocent settlers. The lirst mistake made was the failure to hang Riel for the cruel murder of Thomas Scott in 1870. It may not be too late to hang liim now, if he can be caught before he reaches the houn dary, but he is a freebooter and a murderer, and ought not to escape such a punishment as will have a salutary influence upon his compatriots, This rebellion is sure to retard the development of tho north west. Tlie agents of American transcontinental railways will not be slow to recognize in it a first- class advertising dodge to divert immigration from Canada to American territory. It is not enough to say that there have been numerous Indian rebellions and massacres in the United States. Where there is one Canadian immigration agent on the line of European travel there are half-a-dozen American agents of the various railways, corporations, states, and territories which come into competition with us as tields of immigration. It was ex- pectod that this yoar would be one of unusual development in the north-west as well as iu this provinco, The completion of the C. P. R., it was believed, would be an event of the greatest importance as a factor in this development, as it would both advertised the country and show that facilities for trade were being provided. We hope tho Riel rebellion will be so promptly suppressed that its evil effects may he confined within the smallest possible limits, The Difference. Ifc does not seem possible to the Victoria Standard that a newspaper can receive advertising from a government without becoming a government organ. Tlie Standard, therefore, expresses the opinion that The Columbian must be an organ of the present local government. But tho Nanaimo Free Press iiiul the Kamloops Sentinel both receive government advertisements. Docs the Standard class them as government organs? We believe at least three of the Victoria daily papers received advertisements from tlie city council last year: were all these three papers organs of the conncil 1 The Standard might assert, if it chose, that every newspaper in Britisli Columbia is an organ of the Dominion government, because they nil receive Dominion government advertisements. When the Standard states that Tub Columbian is "ashamed of its masters," it loses its balance completely. Tiik Columbian has never recognized any master outside of its owners and managers, and not one of these holds any position whatever in the government. How can u newspaper be ashamed of its own managers 1 But, of course, the Standard means to intimate tliat Thk Columbian is controlled by the local government, and that it is that government of which it is ashamed. But this is equally wide of tbe truth. While we havo maintained' and intend still to maintain, an attitude of perfect political independence, wo are not by any means ashamed of the present government. On tho contrary, we are quite proud of ifc, and have generally given.it an intelligent and hearty support because we believed ifc to be one of the most progressive aud best governments the country ever bad. lt has made some mistakes, which we have uot failed to point out. but it is immeasurably superior to tbe one that preceded it, and has grappled successfully with some of the most difficult problems the province has ever had to consider. If the Standard, is not able to perceive the difference l>c- tween a government organ and an independent supporter of the government, its want of perception does not alter the facts or the circumstances. We are sure no person in British Coiumbin will deny that at least some good has been accomplished by the present administration. But did any person ever hear the Standard say so'? It is tlie part, of an independent journal to criticise public acts upon their merits: it is the part of an organ to follow blindly, as the Standard has always done, the party of which it has become the organ.

Whilo professing to bo wholly indu- 'pendont, nnd devoted only to the interests of this city, the Mosquito has nothing btlf harsh words for the present government, nnd cannot conceal its preference for Port Moody. The Port Townsend Argun says; It is learned that articles havo been signed for a steamship lino between Puget Sound ports and Japan. Interested parties are also working up a plan to have the Hawaiian trade included. ]"he str.

None of Gladstone's L-hutorical orations had the effect of this eloquent action. Russia could understand Dufferin without tho interposition of an interpreter. Not Exactly.—Tho Nanaimo Free Press says that deer in large numbers are being slaughtered in the vicinity of Nanaimo, and very properly points out the impropriety of such a practice.

In his last issue he gives himself away as usual on the Port Moody cnnstableship by saying: "The government granted a leave of absence to Mr. Sharpo * * * and then in his absence appointed mi- other man." Tho truth is that Mr. Sharpe neither applied for nor obtained leave of absence. He had Mr. Paine, a foreigner, sworn in and wont away without leavo. When the government came to know this it dismissed Paine (uot Sharpe) and put Mr. Shannon an his place. Mr. Sharpe was not dismissed at all; but since his return he and those whom ho now regards as friends (tho (Jttardfan crowd) have taken the most likely means In secure his dismissal.

The case against the Flag Restaurant for selling beer without u license was postponed until Thursdav. Mr. McColl (Corbould and McColl) appeared for tho corporation.

An efficient choir, lod by Mrs, McGillivray at tho organ, gave a spirited chorus entitled "Rally Round tho Temperance Banner," with such ability ab to elicit hearty applause. The next piece, a solo by Mrs. Chadsey, "Where Can He Bo," was beautifully rendered. Mr. A.

Editor Columbian. —Now that we are having the pros and cons of this question, and are probably on the eve of nn important contest, the following testimony from the notorious scoffer may not be amiss. While no sane person can entertain the slightest respect for Ingersoll in his pet role, of mercenary blasphemer, yet, to give even the devil his dues, it must be admitted that his head is level cu this question. No doubt Ingersoll has his admirers nnd dupes here, as elsewhere, to whom his every word is gospel; aud it is to be hoped they will see their way clear to follow his lead in this as in other matters. Such an expression of sentiment, from auch a source, should effectually stop the Mat of those loud-mouthed, shallow- pated individuals whose sole and inevitable comment on temperance reform and reformers consists of the nauseating and threadbare sneers, "fauutic," "sanctimonious hypocrite," etc., etc, Having introduced Col.

"I believe, gentlemen, that alcohol to a certain degree demoralizes those who make it, those who sell it, those who drink it. t I believe that from the time it issues 'from the coiled and poisoned worm of the distillery until it empties into the hell of crime, dishonor, and death, it demoralizes everybody that touches it, from its source to its ends. I do not believe that anybody can contemplate the subject without becoming prejudiced against that liquid crime. All we have to do, gentlaiifcn, is to think of tlie wrecks upon either bank of this stream of death—of the suicides— of the insanity—of the noverty—of the ignorance — of the destitution—of the little children tugging ut the faded dresses of weeping and despairing wives asking for bread—of the men of genius it has wrecked—of the millions struggling with imaginary serpents produced by tins devilish thing; and when you think of the jails, of the almhouscs, of the asylums, of the prisons, and of gi'affolds upon either bank, I do not wo'ider that every thoughtful man is prej udiced against the caIIo-,1 alcohol. igam stuff WnVRE T0 Keep It.—Keep it in your family.

London, April4-The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon states that the reply of Russia to England's proposals concerning the Afghan frontier line dispute is moat conciliatory, and the Russians earnestly wish the joint commission would commence the work of settling the frontier lino as soon ai possible. They accept the principle of definition of a zone of survey, hut instead of drawing the southern boundary of this zone at what they consider the northern boundary of Afghanistan, which is an imaginary line drawn across the desolate steppe, they propose that the line of zone of survey be carried up to only tlie natural line of demarcation existing, namely, the Borkus spur of the Parapa- inisus. The difference between the English and Russian proposals, the Gazelle says, iB that tho zone proposed by Russia would include triangular pieces of tho steppe twenty or thirty miles wide which would bo excluded from the zone of survey within which the English propose to confine the work of the Twundary commission. The British foreign ofhee has cabled to Lord Dufferin Russia's reply to Granville's note, Dufferiu's opinion of the reply and the situation generally Is awaited with some solicitude. There is an uneasy feeling in military circles that Kngland may have lighted too big a torch in India; the armies of tho Indian princes have been filled with ardor, and may take to fighting each other. The British garrisons numerically are insignificant, and they would have their hands full in the event of a conflict between any two leading potentates, London, April 4.—Reports which are received from Earl Dufferin, British viceroy of India, indicate that negotiations are in progress at Rawul Pindi. The terms are satisfactory to tho Indians and apparently to the British; but they also indicate that negotiations tend so strongly towards joint military allianoo between England and the Ameer that every success may be accepted by Russia as a . lenaco.

The cabinet ,t.'. session this afternoon hud under con w'' eratinn the acceptance of England's in '' poHals concerning tlie Afghau bouti-lut) line, the assent ot Karl Granville for England and De Giers for Russia. The Russian response eiinuot be deemed a complete acceptance- or anything more tlinu a provisional acceptance; M. Ue Giers, in ftuswer to Earl Granville's proposal, snys Russia agrees to confine the dispute between the two powers to a zone including all deb-ttnl-lc points, to be called a zone of survey, as delineated by England. Russia agrees to do so provided the zone lie extended southward to the run', nf the Tarapnsiau range of mountains. This ro- tpiest on the part of Russia, literally translated, means that Russia will consent to limit the discussion to the zone containing ell the points admitted by England to ho debatable, provided this KOUa is so extended at to include all the territory whioh Russia desires to make debatable. Baron De Staal, Russian ambassador to England, has sent a separate communication to Karl Granville. Tho contents have not yet beeu made public. It has beeu reported on what is considered good authority that De Stonl's document is a Russian utterance ou the subject of the irritation caused to Russia by the military aud anti-Russian demonstrations in India, It is also stated that this document urges England to agree with Russia to abandon all military preparations and demonstrations iu reference to the Afghan frontier until tho conclusion or failure of pending negotiations, Russia continues to declare that she is making no preparations for war at the border. Baron De Staal affirm* strongly to that facts but all these protests are looked on here as diplomatic declarations, Ihu Knglish embassy at Teheran, Persia, near the locality of the threatened conflict reports that large mosses of Russian troops continue to pasB through Tiflis southward. The English consul at Btituiini makes similar reports. Reports from both sources are to the effect that these large bodies of troops are supposed to be on tho way to Merv or Mesped. Tiie British government has also received reliable information to the effect that there lias been An immense increase in the number of Russian troops in-Turkcstan. These latter advices estimate the number of Russian soldiers already stationed between Baku aud Sarakhi at 05,000. The nature of tliu response from M, De Giers to English proposals makes it necessary to prolong the period of correspondence between the two powers ou the Afghan question as the joint commissioners appointed by England and Russia to meet and adjust the Afghan boundaries within the Hues agreed upon hy the disputants cannot agree or work till the scene of debate is determined by tlieir principals. It follows that Russia, whatever her ultimate object may be, is at present engaged successfully iu an effort to gain time. Since tbe subsidence of last week's war scare the conservative press clainiB to have discovered thut the government made, use of the Queen's proclamation calling out the reserves aud militia to secure votes for the Egyptian financial agreement by frightening parliament with the prospect of a change of government on the eve of war with a great power. London, Apr. 4.—Gen, Wolseley has forwarded to the war offico a significant report made out by the medical staff attached to the Khartoum expedition, The subject of the report is the result of exposure to the desert heat of British troops stationed along the borders of the Soudan desert. Tho report states that if the present Biitish military stations iu the Soudan be maintained fully one-half of the troops will die or be disabled by the heat before the arrival of aiit.imu. The whole tone of the peculiar report, which was undoubtedly inspired by Gen. Wolseley himself, indicates that a decision having been reached to that effect and the public is being prepared to witness the early withdrawal of the whole British forco from the Soudan to Egypt and the complete abandonment of the Nile- Khartoum expedition. It is announced that Gen. Graham has been ordered by the government to ut once open negotiations with Osman Digma or the sheikhs between Suakim and Berber possessing power to control the natives. It has been stated that Gen, Graham has been instructed to secure such terms as to enable him to evacuate the country at once. Whether it wob in pursuance of these particular instructions or not Geu. Graham to-day withdrew the whole force back from 'lamai to Suakim, leaving only a small contingent at Gun. McNeil's zareeba. It is believed that no operations will be undertaken against the Tamaiana. Tho heat is peculiarly intolerable in the desert west of Tamai which itself is mostly beyond the influence of the water of the Red Ssa. The officers and men belonging to Gen. Stewart's forco are completely disgusted over the negative result of the expedition and arc all anxious to be at once recalled home. The disgust of the magnificent fellows who have come all the way from Australia to help maiutain the mother country's prestige is simply supreme and indescribable, A Good Guakaniee.—H. B. Cochran, druggist, Lancaster, Pa., writes that he has guaranteed over 300 bottles of Burdock Blood Bitters for dyspepsia, bilious attacks and liver and kidney troubles.

New Yoiik, Apr. 5.—The Tribune's London cable special is as follows: Thu Anglo - Russian controversy has advanced two important stages during the weok. Tho Russian reply to Granville's last dispatch was delivered yesterday, uud considered hy thu cabinet to-day. There is reason to believe that such assent as it does contain is qualified by a suggestion for currying the line of debateable territory still farther south. The English are in no mood to stand much more nonsense. The ministry has not relaxed tor-one hour those varied preparations for war which astonished Russia and convinced her that England is far more ready than she herself. New York, Apr. 5.—A cable special from London says the Easter vacation ii a period of political stock-taking. Gladstone has again weathered severe storms, and his prospects for the fu ture are tolerably good. The Tories lost their lust chance in the last Egyptian debate, and they must now wait for the general election, which is pretty certain to lake place in the middle of November. Appearances indicate that tliere will be 11 Liberal majority. Gladstone will theu retire with blessings as loud in his favor us the recent cursings against liim.

Winnipeg:, Apr. C— Gen, Middleton began his advance from Fort Qu'Appelle this morning, advance guard leaving at G o'clock. He has now with him the Winnipeg rifles aud field buttery. About 150 men and "A" and "11" batteries, who left here last night, reached Qu'Appelle at 10 o'clock. "A" battery will probably be pushed to overtake the first detachmont at Touch wood, and the tint contingent of Toronto troops, about 300, will follow in the same line, making this column about 750 strong. It iB said that "G" battery and the second detachment from Toronto will go on to Swift Current and be taken down the South Saskatchewan in steamers and barges to meet the main column at Clark's Crossing. They will make up about 400 men. The Queen's Own rifles from Toronto arrived at Port Arthur this morning, and will roach here at midnight. Tho Grenadiers from Toronto are about 12 hours behind them. Nothing definite is known of Riel's force. Most-contradictory stories have been afloat. It is not likely that the rebels will oppose the troops in a body, but they mny do them much harm by harrassing skirmishers on the marcli across the prairies. There is every indication that the advance from Fort Qu'Appelle to the Saskatchewan will be one of extreme difficulty. The trail is now iu a bad state, and teams cannot take heavy loads. Mud on the roads is knee deep in places. The men of the batteries and thu Queen's Own had a hard trip across the uncompleted portion of the O.P.R. The roads wero bad and the weather at times was extremely cold, the thermometer going na low as 33 below. The feeling is almost universal that this hardship and long delay should have boen avoided by gaining permission to send troops through the United States. London, Apr.
