She became so excited that she rushed to tho window and jumped out being instantly killed. A Common Thing There. Sax Antonio, Tcxub, Muy 10.—Word has just been received here from Eagle Pass, which is on the border line of Mexico and the United States, that a revolution of considerable proportions is very imminent in the state of Coahuila. Deadly Gas. Piiela, pu., May 10.—Seven young women narrowly escaped asphyxiation by illuminating gas lust evening. It was found that the gas hud been escaping from the pipe and the girls were unconscious. Medical aid, after several hours' work, restored them. this lofty obstruction gives one some idea of the height to which the smoke and ashes rose. Professor Davidson, of the coast survey, estimates that the volcanic pillar must have been sent up at least four miles above the sea. Captain Everett. Smith, of the steam whaler Orca, passed near the scene soon after the first explosion. He noted that four new islets, each detached, but near the volcano island, had arisen from the depths. As the ocean bottom here right off Bogoslov sounds 844 fathoms, and there is a depth of 1,200 fathoms about 12 miles away, an idea may be gained of the tremendous energy required to raise an islet from the ocean bottom to nnd above the surface.

New York, May 1(1.—A sensational story has been published here to .the effect that Sir. Roger Tiehborne iB alive and iu Australia. The story narrates that a letter has beon received by a prominent counsellor in London, in which a harrowing tale is unfolded. Sir Roger, according to this story, was held prisoner in the bush for years by a baud of Australian convicts, who tried to foist Arthur Orton on Lady Tiehborne ub her son. The conspirators died one by one, the last one a few months ago. This man left a will iu which the whole deinoniacul plot wus fully confessed and luid hare. Harvest of Death. Wilkesiiarrk, Pu., May 10.—It is now stated that all the entombed miners are dead. At seven o'clock this morning, rescuing party discovered one of the Hungarian brothers named Hubs, in an abandoned working. He was alive and said ho thought tho other men were ull safe in one of the breasts. This gnve rise to the rumor thnt all the men were safe. Russ died on being brought to the surface. AU the men with the exception of thoso rescued last evening, it is now said, were killed by the explosion which occurred two hours after the cave- in took place. The bodies of the victims are rapidly being taken out;, they are horribly mangled; in some instances tho heads being entirely blown off. Allen, the fire boss, who was rescued from the mine alive lust night, died to-day. They Deserve Punishment. Nbw York, May 10. — To-day the grand jury brought into the court of general sessions indictments against Excise Commissioner Jus. Fitzpatriek, Joseph Koch and Alexander Moakhi, The indictments charge misdemeanor; the specific charge is neglect in failing to Investigate within a reasonable time, certain cases of violation of the election law, which wero brought to their attention by the city reform club. The club alleged that liquor was Bold ut polling places on election day, in defiance of the law. A report was made to the excise board and they failed to investigate the matter. Koch and Fltzputrick were notified to appear in court this afternoon and plead. Meakin Is in Florida, An Alaskan Volcano. San Francisco, May 10.—Bogoslov, tho Alaskan volcano, is again in eruption.

Mexico, May 10.—Governor Jose Garcia and President Diaz have had very unpleasant feelings towards each other for somo time and it is reported on very good authority that the Governor has matters all nrruuged for a big revolution in his stute (Coahuila). One thousand cavalrymen, who have beeu encamped near Kngle Pass, huve beeu ordered to march to (Juarez, in order to lie near at hand in case of an outbreak. ....Onr New Connection. St. Paul, May 15.—Lyman Dwight, manager of the Great Northwest Telegraph Company in this country,' who hus just returned to Winnipeg from the Pacific Const, will recommend his company to build a line from Blaine, Wash., to New Westminster, B. C, and Vancouver, aud thence by cable to Nanaimo and Victoria. This will give the Western Union and Great Northwest facilities to compete for business on the British coast with the Canadian Pacific Railway system. The Western Union will extend its system to Blaine. Dwight's recommendation will be adopted. The Charivari Case. Port Townsend, May 14.—The celebrated Martin-Phillips charivari case from Lopez Island, now on trial in the superior court here, is attracting much attention. The trial began Tuesday, and will not be completed before Friday. About half of the witnesses for the state have testified, and a strong case is being made out for the prosecu- ction. The testimony shows that when Phillips returned to hiB home on Lopez Island ou the night of December 10, with his bride, a party of eight young men went to give them a charivari. The party fired a gun when within a short distance uf the house, when Phillips came out on the porch with a shotgun in his hand and ordered them away. As they ran he shot into the crowd, wounding two of the boys, John Graham and John Hall. Hull died five days afterwards. Phillips was indicted for the murder of Hall and for assault with intent to kill Graham, the latter being Phillips' nephew. ThiB is the first case of the kind ever brought to trial in the Northwest, aud every point is being Htubbqrnly contested. The Newfoundland Fisheries. Paris, Moy lfl.—In the senate to-day M, Boxerum opened the debate on the Newfoundland fisheries question by interpellating the Government as to the present situation in regard hereto. The rights of the French fishermen, he said, were really undisputed. The question was simply that of the scope of their rights. Tlie French were permitted to take fish, but not lobsters, under the ridiculous pretext that lobsters were not fish. M. Kibot said that there was not ambiguity in the text of the treaties. "France" he declared, ''has neither u treaty nor a negotiation with Newfoundland, nor is it with her alone that we have to deal. Wo have rceived a formal assurance from the British Government thut our rights will be respected nnd our treaties fulfilled. We can add nothing except that the Government is quite decided that nothing shall be impaired of the rights which France has i held for 20 years. The order of to-day I was passed approving the declaration of the Government. PARLIAMENT PROROGUES. With the Usual Ceremony. The He- hrlmc'H S*ea Matter Still Unsettled. Ottaka, May lfl.—Parliament was prorogued to-day with the usual brilliant ceremonies-and amid the booming of a vice-regal salute from the battery ou Nepean Point. There was a great nwh, nitiBic, flowers, pretty women, and .general enthusiasm. Before 5 o'clock the city looked half deserted. His Excellency was attended by his military staff. The proceedings iu the House were uninteresting, though Mr. Cavin supplied some amusement. Mr. Mitchell asked for information respecting the Behring Sea und the Atlantic fishery questions. Sir John Macdonald in reply said thnt ho had expected to be able to give a definite statement, but the despatch received was indefinite, and he had not received au explanatory despatch. Mr. C. H. Tupper was on his way to Ottawa, but was travelling slowly on account of his recent dangerous illness. The negotiations, however, were proceeding satisfactorily. Mr. Trow asked if the Government proposed to pay the half-breed, Bremner, at once In order to avoid litigation. Sir John Macdonald held out no promise, the matter would lie considered immediately. The question of the liability of the Crown or a minister in any case for the acts of Ids subordinate is divided by a verv narrow line. He had not looked at the evidence iu this case, and was not really able to say whether the Crown could be held liable. If the responsibility rested with the Crown, tho Government would pay Bremner. Messrs. Laurier, Mitchell und Mills urged the Premier to grunt tho indemnity nt once. 'The war is over," said Sir John, and with this the Speaker left the chair. The speech from the throne is a verv format affair. Among other things His Excellency says that the negotiations respecting the Behring Sea question aro still in progress at Washington, with a food prospect of an equitable settlement. lean white the continuance of another year of what is known as the modus virendi serves to show our honest desire to cultivate the most friendly' relations with the United States Government nnd people. ^^^^^^^^^^ The Obnoxious Bill. The Golden correspondent uf tlie Kootenay Star says that Law, the candidate for the legislature. haB gone west to Beaver. The feeling there is that he will be elected by a large majority, as Col. Baker threw away his most available election card by supporting the Railway Aid Bill, Irrespective of the feelings of his mining constituency, on a question so vital to their Interests. It Ib needless to add in comment that the bill is showing its bad odor ulready; the local investor does not feel safe In his intended ventures, and the foreign capitalist turns hta back in disgust and is looking to other climes more roBeate with promise, where the laws guarantee him 100 cents on every dollar of earnings accruing from his investments, and whore ho is not compelled to give live per cent ou thu same, us if under "the sway of Moruiouism." The Fat Sultan. U.-.ti.iN, May 17.—Prince Bismarck's private physician, Dr. Schweltnger, is at present engaged in instructing Fohry Bey and Behrin Bey, the sultan'., personal medical advisers, how to relieve thnt monarch o' the obesity from which he suffers. The Turkish physicians will practice on u similar cuse for six months in this city before undertaking the cure of their royal master. . THE SEMILKAHEEN COUNTRY. Cattle Losses During the I'ast Winter.— Mini ii? at Hock Creek.—The Okanagon Hallway.—Fine Crop Prospects. An old West in iusterite, Mr. S. Oswold Coulthard, who is now n rancher in the Semilkameen country, arrived in the city n few days ago, and will spend a few weeks renewing old aequainteuces. Ur. Coulthard brings quite an interesting budget of news from our famous cattle country, und the only authentic report that lias reached the coast from his section of the country since the spring opened. The paBt winter was the most severe on record, there being iu reality two distinct winters. The cold weather set iu as usual in December, und continued without a break until the middle of February, when mild weather came, and it was generally supposed that the winter was ended. In the Semilkameen country tho most severe weather has passed usually by the middle of February, and when the sohVweuther set iu the ranchers were elated to think that they were going to winter their stock without loss. Up to this time the cattle had done well, aud losses were next to nothing. However the mild spell only lusted a few days, and then very cold weather ensued winch lasted till the beginning of April. Then it was the heavy losses occurred, and Mr. Coulthard says, "the cattle seemed to melt away before the .lie left to forage at their own will perished by thousands. terrible cold.'' JNcarly all the hayli... been fed out, and tho cuttle left to forage Mesmerism a Crime. Brussels, May 17.—Iu accordance with tlie resolution passed by the Brussels academy of nicdiciue, the Belgian Government hus forbidden all public seances of hypnotism, and declared all hypnotism, except used legitimately for healing purposes, to be illegal. The hypnotising of girls under 18 is made punishable by fine and imprisonment. Flood and Fire. London, May 17.—The City of Tomsk, which iB reported to have been almost destroyed by floods and tires, is the capital of the Government of that name iu West Siberia, and is situated on the Tomsk River. It is built mostly of wood but, has substantial public biiild- gs. Its population is 25,000. The Submarine Boat. Paris, May 17.—Recent experiments with the new submarine gun boat "Gymnote" have proved entirely satisfactory. Several changes have been made since the trial a short time ago, nnd it can now be confidently stated that the problem of sailing underwater has been solved. After the first experiment it wfts found necessary to modify the accumulation cases, aud. after patient research the fragile non-conducting substances being set aside, cases were at length produced which have given entire satisfaction.

' ■ ' ■' * * An Angry Comment. Brussels, Muy 10.—Tlie Independence j Beige comments iu an ungry tone upon the attitude of the United States Minis-1 On the Canadian side the snow was not so deep as to tho south, and only about 25 per cent of the stock succumbed to the cold and starvation, but on the United States aide, where the snow was much deeper, fully 75 per cent, and in some cases more, perished. Many of the Idaho ranchers are completely ruined. Af ter the beginning of April the spring opened in earnest, and when Mr. Coulthard left Keremeos the grass was good, and the cattle were picking up fast. Crops were all in by the 5th inst., and prospects are good for a bountiful harvest. Three miles of the Shuawapand Okanagon Railway are graded. Only Chinese ure employed on construction. The steamer plying on Okanagan Luke is doing a splendid business. It proves n great convenience to the settlors. Cuttle driving over the Cascades to Hopo will commence about the usual time, und the qualitiy of beeves sent out will be as good as in the past. The prospects for a plentiful hay harvest are good. Unusually high water is expected, which will overflow the bottoms and ensure a big crop of grass. There is still lots of snow on Hope mountain, and no attempt has been made ub yet to cross. The canyons are still filled with snow. A big boom is expected this summer iu the Rock Creek Mines. Mr. Douglas, who is backed by the Standard Oil Co., ter, Terrell, in opposition to tlie action of the Anti-Slavery Conference in lin- j lopment of his own claim, which is showing very rich prospects, Mr, Douglas hus promised to test the quartz from nil mines on Rock Creek, which wilt be n great boon to mine owners, who at present ure unable to ascertain definitely the value of their claims. Many prospectors ure at work ulreadv posing certain duties on imports iuto Iaiul «very day miners are. finding thefr the Congo States. American prosjierity! way mto Kock'Creek, having been built upon a foundation of the blood and tears and sweat of the ne gro slaves, the paper declares that the United States should be the last of all countries to oppose anti-slavery measures in Africa. The Clengary Estate. London, Muy lfl.--The offer made by tlie agent of the Ctengary estate to set • tie witli the tenants on the basis of payment of one instead of three years' rent, as previously enacted, has been accepted conditionally by tlie latter. The conditions laid down by the tenants are that the estate shall reinstate all of the tenants who have been evicted nnd place them on the same footing in the future as those remaining, and that the houses destroyed Bhall be rebuilt and put into the possession of the evicted without nny expense to them. It is thought probnble thnt the conditions will be accepted in order to avoid further trouble. Ever Popular Gladstone. London, May 10.—Mr. Gladstone's route from Ipswich to * Norwich to-day was liberally lined with admirers. At every station he wub greeted by crowds of people, who had assembled hours beforo the arrival of his train and patiently awaited his coming. At a few stations lie was compelled to speak in response to. repeated calls, but his remarks were brief and unimportant, from a political point of view. As the train rolled into Norwich a tremendous cheer went up from the great crowd surrounding tho station and the ex-Premier's appearance on the platform was the signal for another and a greater outburst of applause. As Mr. Gladstone and the committee delegated to receive bin. entered carriages and wero driven slowly away, tlio vast crowd formed iu Hue and followed cheering as they marched. No greater demonstration of popular admiration for a British subject than that which characterized Mr. Gladstone's triumphal cntery into Norwich has ever been witnessed. Imperial Parliament, London, May IO.—In the House of Commons this evening Sir James Ferguson, the Under-Foreign Secretary, said that the Government was unable to confirm the story published in the Post to the effect thut nn agreement hud been entered iuto between Cardinal Ln- vigerieund the German Hast African Company, with a view of monopolising the Uganda by tlie Cardinal's missionaries to tho exclusion of British missionaries, and otherwise prejudicing British interests in that section. Sir James also stated that the Government hud not heard thnt. the New foundland legislature had passed an ud- dress to ttte Home Government, protesting against .tlie hitter's action in regard to the .fisheries question. The Government wns witling, however, to lay the address unon the table of the House if it should ho received. Iu tho House of Lords this evening Lord Salisbury declared that the roport that Germany in 1888 requested England to join her in an offensive nud defensive nlllatico wub utterly untrue. Equally baseless nlso, lie suid, was the report that there way any estrangement between Germany and England. When tlie present Emperor ascended tho throne, tlie relations of the two countries were then as they ure now, of tlie most friendly character. A quartz claim iu Seinilkuiucen Valley sold for $1,0(10 cash a couple of weeks ago. lt was known as tlio Lena claim. There is some stir iu Okanagon mines, and livelier times nre expected in that district. Placer minus arc still being worked ou Granite Creek, but only wages are being earned. No ricli strikes have been recorded, neither are any expected. With only a few exceptions the miners on Granite Creek are all Chinese. Children Cry for Pitcher's. Castorla. Rich Discoveries. At Rudge's marble works on Douglas street, two tine specimens—tho one of excellent sandstone, tlie othor of pure white marble—aro nt present attracting tlie admiration of nil interested in mineralogy. The sandstone, which is of remarkably good color nnd grain, was tp cently discovered to exist in immense quantity on Addington Island, near Alert Bay. Tlie samples brought down nre of a fine, gradatious stone, which cuts, saws or bores well, and which will stand fire better than any known fire brick. This last mentioned quality ren- dors it specially adapted for furnace ling, while it cau also be used to splendid advantagi building: by builders and iu monumental work. Addington Island, where the quarries are located, contains about one hundred acreB of the sandstone. Messrs. Hew- son end Budge are the owners of tlie valuable find, uud their intention is to develop it at once. They claim that the quality of the stone is much superior to tbe Nanaimo article, while it can be profitably marketed at a lower price. A'ddington Island, alone of the group of which it forms one, contains the sandstone which is already being used by Victoria cutters. Of the marble grea't tilings are expected. It Is pronounced of harder, closer grain than the Vermont production, and is said to he comparable only with Italian. It cuts well and takes an unsurpassed |»lish, while its solidity ensures its durability. Of the full extent of tlie supply which'is contninod iu the mountain at Knight's Inlet, little is known. Tlie deposit appears inexhaustible—at any rate, there is enough lo last ttie whole Pacific coast for centuries. Rutland marble now monopolizes the trade of America, but the owners of the Knight's Inlet mine expect lo compete successfully witli the Vermouters, having a better article, which they will be able to sell just as cheaply. It is anticipated that the new marble will take the place of all imported material here at once, and that the trade that wilt .bo opened up by Its exportation to the United States will constitute another important and profitable industry for British Columbia—Colonist.

Mr. Robson Hinted in the course of a speech on the evening in question, in a perfectly manncr-of-fiict manner, that "ho had been offered the " representation of Westminster City " by acclamation." We need not state for the information of our local readers, at least, that nine-tenths of the fourteen hundred electors of this City, without having any feelings of resentment, ill-will, or even opposition (on general principles) towards Mr. Robson, do not, under all ths circumstances, wish him to represent this constituency in the next Parliament. Mr. Robson would do himself more justice if he would recognize this fact and acknowledge the reasonableness of its existence, and govern himself accordingly, instead of placing both himself and the constituency in a false light before tho people of the Province. We shall in a future issue endeavor to show the reasonableness of tlie position which the electors of the Lower Mainland, at least, occupy upon this question. " CORNERED AND DESPATCHED. Alar, poor Truth1. Our "wretched' cotemporary is a fitter object for compassion than for criticism; but we must, in the interests of truth, drag it out from its obscure cave, whero its torch has sputtered into n noisome darkness, and publiciy divest it of its last "refuge "of—/'well, not truth. The only point which our cotem. attempts to mnke in its pitiful pleadings this morning as an excuse for its change of base- wbich it now admits—is to the efl'ect that the Government had changed in'its attitude toward tho redistribution question since the bill bad been brought down. We will give our cotemporary the full advantage of its own plea iu ita own words: Slowty, by reason of the articles that were written, the representations that went forward, and tho discussions thnt took place in the House, the Government retreated from the position it had assumed, till (when the deputation waited upon it) it renounced, as we contend, the balance of power theory altogether. That was the point we were arriving at. that, was tlie point wc hud [ained, and we then, and have frequent- ty since, expressed our contentment to .,..( «i.__ i.-.-.!...-. ._■__.,. i await the taking of the census next year and allow tho lull to stand as it is tilt then. We are glad that our cotemporary hns been driven to make a clearly defined stand iu its " last ditch," so to speak, jM-caiiso now we cun put it out of its misery with nentnessnnd despatch. The - point of points, then, is this: The sole justification for its somersault, which tlie Trttth now admits, is that the Government had executed a gradual, graceful, crescendo-diminuendo — one—two- three—go 1—head-over-hcels movement, just prior to our cotemporary's sympathetic flop. But,poor Truth, the Government never risked its precious neck by doing anything of the sort. It hardly made the faintest sort of a feint in, that direction; but, the wish being father of the thought, so worked upon your ardent imagination ns to conjure upanoptical delusion; nnd, on the strength to that, O, unhappy Truth, yon took false courage, nnd attempted the rush feat— and broke your neck. And the Government, whom you so sincerely, but mistakenly, attempted to imitate, we venture to say, will hardly think it worth while to attend your funeral, or to strew ilowers on your grave, because you are misrepresenting ami coin promising them in your dying confessions. What, think you, will the "Hon. Thco." a very important spoke in the Government wheel, think of your misconstruction of tlie Government's attitude on the redistribution question? Rend that gentleman's speech in yesterday's Colonist,and learn. For that matter, read tho Hon. Premier's speech, delivered on the same occasion, and, if you are capable, draw deductions. Such " stuff," O Truth, as you are talking, will do well enough to spout on the Mainland, if you enn get nnybody to swallow it, but if your domicile were situated on-the Island, you would be choked off with a suddenness thnt would make your head Bwim. If you don't believe ub, ask the Colonist. Although it is hardly necessary, we will lcok into our cotemporary's "point" of this morning again, and show that the alleged "point" is iu reality u Hunting speck, resting upon nothing. "The "Government," says our cotem., "re- " treated from the position it had ns- (" mimed, until (when the deputation "waited upon it [our italics]) it re* " nouueed, ns we contend, the balance "ofpower theory altogether." Truth is very good to define its "last Btand" so particularly iu all details, and to inform its renders justwheu the "Govern- " ment renounced the balance of power " theory altogether." Tho dispute Is thus narrowed down to a definite point where there Is no difficulty in finally disposing of it. In fact it has' been already disposed of. In its issue of Thursday, Truth tried to establish this very aamo point—namely, that, in the Interview between the Govern* ment and the Mainland Delegation, the Government had "renounced the "balanceof power theory altogether" —and on the same day we clearly showed, on our cotemporary's own evidence, that it had utterly failed to do so. We will bring forward the evidence again which Truth submitted, and on which it evidently rests its case. The evidence, as will be seen, is in the form of a sort of suggested question by a member of the delegation, and a rejoinder by Hon. Mr. Robson, as-Premier, and on behalf of himself and his Government as a whole: A member—But this balance of power seems to keep hold, and they may say: "No we have the balance of power, and we are going to keep it for four years." Hon. Mr. Robson—All we claim now is that there are no conditions known to exist to justify disturbing the balance of power, but to wait until the census is taken. We would say now, as wo said before, and nearly in the same words: And it is this distinctly evasive and negativo answer of the Premier which our deluded cotemporary parades as "quite explicit," nnd upon which it bases its " last stand" of this morning, that "the " Government had renounced the bal- " ancc of power theory altogether." Having disposed of tho small game above, at considerable waste of powder, wo will admit, we shull continue on our " octopus" hunt, trusting that we may not be bothered again even by the "ghost" of our misguided and luckless Church street cotem. The Deadwood Mine. Yesterday afternoon Mr. W. C. Hey- wood received a fine sample of gold from the Deadwood mine near Cnyuse Creek, Lillooet, together with a most favorable report from the manager, Mr. Whither. The gold is remarkably clean, and several good sized nuggets nre Intermingled with it. Mr. Heywood says that last December the property of the mine was purchased by a company in which he is a large shareholder, and preparations made for hydraulic mining on an extensive scale. Nearly $7,000 were espeuded iu the work of putting up flumes, pipes, etc., and a fair start at actual work was made about one month ago. The samples sent down are part of the first clean up, when over f 1,600 worth of gold was obtained. The most of this was sent te San Francisco direct, as better prices can bo got there for the metal than here. As soon ns advices are received from San Francisco, a dividend of 5*per cent, will be declared on the stock. The company own 89 acres,of land about three miles from Lillooet, which is covered with rich, gold bearing ground tondepth of 15 to 20 feet. Prospects taken in all parts of tho claim show that the dirt is equally rich from one to six cents per pan being obtained. As soon as more perfect improvements are made in the apparatus for dealing with tho gravel, much bettei results ore expected, ns it has been found that the tailings of the first clean up are nearly as rich as the first dirt. The supply of water at the Deadwood is unlimited, it being brought about two miles from Caynse Creek and run into a tank in the middle of the claim, and from there distributed to the several pipes. The result of the first clenn up is far beyond tho expectations of the promoters of the enterprise, and they naturally feel pleased with the result.—Thursday's Times. Bell-Irving, Patterson 6c Co.

Tbo Floral Decorations on the Anniversary of HU Duath. To-day I visited the grave ol Gam- betta in tbe picturesque Cemetery of tbe Chateau, lying among tbo bills of Nice, and I found that tbere bad been many groups of visitors of both sexes to it in tbe course of the day. It was as genial a day as any in whioh the sun ever shone on tbo coast of the Mediterranean and the cemetery was a scene of beauty. Tbere were hosts of pilgrims here last week from many parts of Franco, on the anniversary of Gambetta's death, tho last day of the year, and the honors tbat have been paid daily sinco then to the. memory of tbe "great tribune" Bhow how deep is tho hold that he retains upon tbe heart of France. To-day tho grave was thickly covored with floral crowns and wreaths of exquisite, beauty and fragrance. They lay all around it as woll as on top of lb Thoy woro of red and whito roses, and of immortelles, and of many other kinds of flowors, and I noticed many humble floral tributes among tlioso of a grandiose style. Here aro tho lovely crowns und othor wreaths brought from Paris by tho Undor Secretary of Stato for the Colonies; horo Is a festoon from Alsace; bore is another brought hy tho Deputies from tho Maritime Alps; horo is another draped in crape und bound with tri-colorod ribbons brought hy somo ad- mirora in Nice; here is n suporb crown bearing this -inscription: "To tho Grand Tribuno from an Unknown Admirer;" horo is another marked "Una Parisonno" In blaok letters; horo in another from tho Patriotic Union, nnd horo aro nvhich It ia not nocessnry Speptoolo is bewitching and romantic an tho sun sliinos upon tho mass of flowers at tho grave on this Sabbath day. A middle-aged woman, deeply vailed, stands Tor hours near tho grave; and some of those hero who recall the circumstances of Gambetta's death indulge in speculations regarding bur that may not bo without foundation. A fow feet away from tlio tomb is a lingo wooden pyramid, raised soon after Gambetta's death seven yoars ago, for tho purpose of displaying the artificial memorial crowns and wreaths that woro sent horo hy cities, Republican uommit- lioos and patriotic organisations in ull parts of Pcahcc. The pyramid is covered on nil sides, from Imso to apex, with thoso mi uio'ials, which are of many kinds ami designs. There is no |» -nianent monumont ovor the narrow tomb of tho French statesman In tho Cemotory of tho Chateau. The reason for this is thnt it is not believed that his coffin will re- ntaln in Nlco for many years. Tho Governmentdosirosthdtitsboll bo removed for tho ilnnl interment to tho rnnlhoon in Paris; hut bis father, who yet. liven hero, a vory old man, positively nnd persistently refusos to allow it to bo taken away from Nice. The probability in that tho roraoval will bo brought about after tho death of tho father. Besides tho display at tho grave horo in Nice, thero has beon nnothor during tbo lust wook at Villo d'Avrny, near Versailles, nt tho bouse whore Gamhet- ta diott, ana we havo also news ot tho holding of uommonnratiyo moo tings in many other parts bf Franco. In short, it id evident that th'- nnmo of Gambotta isj yet ivnamo outrun -Jiitf that of muny otitis political contemporaries In tho mind of tin,* French peoplo.—John Swiu- ton. in N. V. Sun. AN INTELLIGENT HORCC. A flood Ktoi-y Told l;y n Clittingo Ucalo In Iron SitlVa. Peoplo ivho lived In Chicago ton o* fifteen yours ago will remember:, tan- deio team of line Normandy horses that used lo he driven about the streets without rein. Thoy woro a wonder lo tho peoplo of the city and a groat curiosity to visitors from tho country. They delivered our goods for several yoars, tho man on tho wagon guiding tho lead- or hy a whistle. Wo got lottors yet from the country asking about that loam. Their names wero Pete, Dutch nnd Frank. Pete was tho loader. He was trained hy John Parmor, who has been in our omploy as safe-mover and deliverer for twenty yoars. Poto-was tho smartest horse I over heard of. tic would make his way through a big crowd on tho streot without causing any commotion whatever, unless lie thought somebody was trying to hark his legs. Thon ho would bito as viciously as a mad dog. Ono day Poto slipped on a street-car rail and hurt his side. Just as ho was recovering ho ran a nail in one of his feet. Ho died of blood poisoning. That broko up tho toam. We tried savoral horses for leaders, but novcr could find ono to tako Poto's place. Tho authorities of tho city, who at first had a prejudice against Poto and used to object to him working without roln, camo to liko liim, but thoy woro never satisfied to have any othor horse try it. There is a difference between training a borso for trick work and training him to do what Poto did. Poto was all business. He had more senso than some peoplo. I muBt say, by tho way, that you can't train any horse. Somo horses novor loarn any thing. Aftor Poto died and wo found that wo could got no othor horso to tako his placo, wo sold Dutch, and ho soon died. Tho man to whom wo sold him was vory much attached to Dutch, and ho avers that Dutch died of a broken hoart. Wo kopt Frank until ho got too old for service. Wo didn't want to part with him, so we had him shot when ho gbt too old lo work. There has nevor beon suoh a team as Pete, Dutch and Frank in Chicago since Poto died. Wo Mod a simitar team In Now York, but tho crowded stroots woro against tho scheme. Thoro aro a number of suoh teams in Philadelphia. Did you ovor know that tho business of safe-moving is ono that requires great caro? In twenty years wo havo had vory fow damages to pay on account of accidents to buildings or teams. In all that timo wo havo novor had a rope to break in tho hoisting of a safe.—Chicago Tribuno. A monster elm stands on tho Avery Durfoo farm in Wayno County, between Palmyra and Marion, writes a Syracuse (N. Y.) correspondent Two ■ foot above tho ground it measures 33 foot in inches in circumference, and 6 feet above tbo ground 30 feet 10 inches. It is 00 feet to the first limb. Tho body would make Ave 13-foot logs, averaging .1,250 feot; tho total amount of lumber in tho body of tho tree Is 10,300 foot, 11 is estimated that thero Is sufficient lumbor above the sawlog to mako tour cords of 4-foot wood. Taking one-half of the jdiamoter of tho tree 3 feet from tbe ground, whioh is 48 inoheB, and allow- l Ing each inch to represent ten years' [ growth, the age is found to bo 480 years, 1 Cut into inch boards tho elm would f cover nearly two-fifths of an aero of 1 ground.

Same of tlio Peculiarities of Society Life at Washington. Vory littlo of tbo paying of visits by peoplo in high official life ts dono in person. Tbo President makes no calls. Tho Vice-President does all his "oall- ing" through bis private secretary, whoso chief duty it is to rlcTo around in a coupe and leave the cards of Mr. and Mrs. Morton at the doors of houses whero calls aro due. Tho members of tbo Cabinet do most of their "calling" hy mail. Tho mon whoso duty it is do this "proxy" calling, I am informed, have any thing but an easy timo. Biding about in a carriage all day Is an attractive occupation when viewed from a distance. It loses many of its charms when it is praotised day after day, and nearly all of its attractiveness when tt is interspersed by constant stoppages along tho route of travel. Some of theso doputy Cabinet officers mako fifty and sevonty-flve calls a day. Thoy havo many amusing encounters, for thoy visit all parts of tho city and pay their respects, or rather the rospocts of tholr superiors, to people ot all classes ind conditions. Tho rocoptions of tho ncmbersof tho Cabinet aro open to all •omors, and all sorts of peoplo make lie rounds Wednesdays. It is a social ■ .liligatlon to which all people In high official ltfo must conform to roturn all of tho calls. that aro mado upon them. So the doputy secretaries spin around iho city all day, driving from cottage to pa'.nce, distributing graceful bits of pasteboard, whioh tho roclpionts may place on tholr center tables as muto ovi- donoo to the uninitiated that tho Socre- tary of has called upon them. At tho houses whoro "receiving" has been thoroughly systematized, tho colored man at tho door gracefully holds out his . ulvor to receive tho cards, and watches i !io rapid oscapo of tho card-boaror with* cut surprise or coramont. At othor homos whon tho coupe stops at tbo door there aro evidences of preparation for tlio reception going on within. Children poop out of tho window and' run back with tho ovldont intention of "telling mumma" that somobody is about to cull, Tho servitor throws wide tho door to admit tho'oxpocted guest. Thon thoro'Is n sudden pall thrown ovor tho expectant community by tho bland announcement of tho young man With the utril oaso that bo will not como In; and, is the dour-keeper accepts tho cards in a rather doubtful way, threo pairs of oyes follow the young man in his progress to .lie coupe, and watch it as It whirls .lowri tbo street. At somo of tbo lowlier Iwcllings it Is necessary to push the curds under tho door and flee boforo tbo bell isansworod for foar .that tho ambassador will bo dragged in by force of sirms and made to pay his chief's call in person.

One of our citizens was remarking to another citizen this morning that the men who nre engaged painting the front of the Bushby block must be very brave fellows. "Why?" enquired the other. •'Because they've got lots of sand," replied his Mend. The victim glared, gritted his teeth and passed on.

Nelson Attacked liy Footpads at Victoria TiiU Morning and Is Very Badly Wounded, Our Victoria correspondent sends us the following despatch; A lusty cry for help, at a few minutes after midnight, attracted the attention of the watchman on the C.P.N. Co's wharf. He quickly investigated and found lying on the road, about midway between Wharf street and the dock, a tall, grey-bearded man, from whose head and face blood was flowing freely. He was picked up and carried aboard the Islander, where Dr. Milne was soon in attendance upon him. It was found half a dozen stitches were necessary in dressing the wounds, one of which extended to the skull; the other waa in the face. Both, the doctor declared, were produced byjblows from some blunt instrument. The injured man was immediately recognized as Mr. A. M. Nelson, of Westminster, Wheu be had been made comfortable, ho stated that he had been walking down to the boat, when two men, whose faces ho could not recognize, and whose clothes he could not describe, sprang upon him from behind. Ho had a load- oil cane in his hand with which he defended himself, at the same time shouting for help. One of the mon made nn effort to put his hand in Mr. Nelson's pocket; tne other struck him itivice over tho head with a heavy stick. .Their attempt at robbery was frustrated, and both footpads then took to their heels. Officer Win was summoned hy Doctor Milne, and lost no time iu investigating tho affair as thoroughly as possible. He could, howover, obtain no practical clue. Mr. Nelson was subsequently removed to tho Oriental Hotel, where he will remain until fully recovered from tho effects of hiB adventure. This morning Mr. Nelson is in a pretty bad condition, but it is hoped ho wilt be around in a few days. He wore a hard hat at the time the assault was made. The hat was smashed iu, and he thinks its resistance saved his life. The police are actively trying to catch the desperadoes. General surprise is expressed that there are such desperate men in our midst, and the sooner they ure disposed of the bettor.

Lt is satisfactory to learn that very good progress has been made by the committee appointed by the Westminster Rowing Club to enquire into ways and means. All the boat-building firms in the City are prepnred to offer a most generous aud hearty support and make the most liberal concessions to help tho club establish itself on a firm basis from the commencement. Communications of a most flattering and encouraging description have bijen received from the captains of rowing clubs in tho neighboring cities, and tho formation of the Royal City Club is looked upon with evory feeling of kindliness and favor. It is to bo hoped that the meeting in the City Hall next Wednesday evening at 8 o clock will be attended not only by those who are going to take an active part in tho operations of tho club, but by everybody who feels that legitimate athletics should be fostered in the Citv. There is good ground for tho assertion that the rate of subscription will be placed at so moderate a rate aa not to present a difficulty to young men of circumscribed means. In conclusion it may be stated that from the appearance of the matter at the present time this project will not fall through this timo. Should no unforseen occurrence arise to delay tho club getting nt once to work, the club will be able to havo a strong four-oared crow ready to compete in all the amateur matches this summer and full. Mr. Hendry Denies the Imputation.

Cunningham, M.P.P., waited on us this morning, and Mr. Hendry states "that ho sent no " such telegram to tho lato Mr. Homer, requesting him to resign." About live or six yoars ago, it is oxplained, Mr. Thos. Cunningham aud Mr. Hendry were appointed a committee by public meeting held in this City to communicate with the principal points in the district to secure united action with tho object of bringing about tho amendment of the then unsuitable Dominion land laws, which sought to apply the regulations iu Manitoba and tho Northwest to this Province. Many of our readers •will recollect the occasion, und that, through the efforts of the committee mentioned, and tho public expression on tho subject, the obnoxious regulations wore amended accordingly. The only criticism, Mr. Hendry Bays, thnt the committee received at tho timo was thnt all their communications were sent direct to Sir John Macdonald, instead of through tho late Mr. Horaor, thon representing this District in tho Commons. Mr. Cunningham, who was the first man of tho committee, so to speak, and had charge of the corresponding, "be- " lieves that all tho correspondence and " telegrams passed through his hands, " and that no such telegram was sent " with his knowledge." We might add to thisstatemeut of tho caeo, that Mr. Hendry demanded the name of our correspondent, which we, of course, refused, and that Mr, Hendry wishes a more or loss formal retract ion iu a few days, or ho will feel obliged to take action against thia paper. This is whore tho matter rests until our correspondent's evidence for the assertion hus boon brought down. after being released Jim left for Fort Rupart, and is supposed to be there now. Mr. Moresby was given full powers by the Government to act in the case, and on Thursday he left for tbo north on the steamer Skidegate, accompanied by several Vancouver constables. On Tuesday four canoe loads of Indians left the Inlet for Fort Rupert to warn Jim of his danger, and it is a matter of speed only that will give Jim his freedom or bring about his hanging. An Island Opinion. It would be supposed that sinco the Colonist cannot justify it would cease attempting to excuse the Constitution Act, and particularly on the ground that the Government did the best they couW with tho information at their command. Redistribution had been the talk for a year. It was tolerably well understood a year ago or more that redistribution had to come, and that it would be the crowning act of the final session of the House. At the very leaBt tho Government had ton months to procure data whereon to base a plan of redistribution. Did the Government make an effort to secure this data? According to their own story they did not. When the Houso convened, and oven up to the middle of the session, the Government presumably were not aware of the number of registered voters in the City of Vancouver,nor, according to all accounts, had the Government taken any of its supporters into their confidence. When thp House convened, there was not a Government supporter, unless they most cgregiously prevaricated, who had any idea of redistribution. Was tbere any excuse for this? Are tho resources and industries of tliia Province so varied, and the population bo immense that a fairly accurato understanding of provincial conditions might not have been hud in the space of ten months? It seems to us that tho Government in offering the pica of ignorance iu justification of their measure simply furnish an argument which reacts against thom like a boom orang.— Times, ■ ».-»—♦— . Are They Drowned? Circumstances point to an evident case of drowning of two klootchmen lust evening. The fucts, up to the Inst moment, were of tho most meagre character, and only showed tbat a Siwash Indian came, in a very excited Btate, to Mr. M. R. Smith's house and, as well as hia frenzy would allow him to speak, he told Mr. Smith that he had formed one of a party of three in a canoe. Tlio water was somewhat rough, and, by somo means or Other, the canoe was upset, tho Indian, obeying the first law of nature—self-preservation—swamnshore. Ho had every reason to believe thnt the other two, who were klootchmen, and unable to swim, were lost. The affair occurred jiiBt outside the outer wharf, but it seems almost a miracle that a canoe, managed by an Indian, should be overturned. Mr. Smith telephoned the intelligence to the police station, and the information was afterwards corroborated by a report from Bpecial officer Irving, near whose beat the accident occurred. It being out of the jurisdiction of the city police to interfere in the matter, tho provincial authorities wore notified nnd tho case placed in Sergeant Lan^ley's hands. Any definite action was impossible; the lilootchmen were missing; the sea would not give up its prey, and nothing was left but to calmly await the natural course of events, whon tho tido would wash tbe bodies ui> on the beach,—Thursday's Colonist. Still Missing. Hon. Henry Boyle, who was in Seattle a week ago lost Suturdoy, seeking information of his missing brother, Viscount Robert Boyle, proceeded to Portland to see Selective Sullivan, of Thiel's Detective Agency, for the purpose of securing his assistance iu gleaning information concerning hia brother. R, T. Haslam, of this city, au old friend of Hon. Henry Boyle, received a letter day before yesterday, dated at San Francisco, May 9th, and informing him thnt ho thought more could bo done by going lo San FranciBCo than by remaining in Port land. Since arriving there, ho had ascertained that a pasaongei*. registered us as "R. Bohl," had arrived in Sun Francisco from Tueomn on tho steamer Mexico, November 29,1887. This date tallies with the date Viscount Boyle left Vancouver, B. C, namely, November 14, and ho feels certain it must have been his brother. He thinks tho viscount must havo sailed from San FranciBco for either South America or Africa, and that ho will yet be found alive. Mr. Haslam says lie is of' tho opinion that Viscount Bovlo has mot with foul play or accidentally fallen off a wharf, and while it is reasonable for his brother to hopo for news of him, tho probabilities are that tho viscount will nover he found alive.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

No duo to tlio murderer could bo found, but Mr. Moresby and tho Vancouver police havo beon working on the caso over since. On tho night of tho murder a Fort Rupert Indian was arrested for drunkenness, and the next day roleascd. This was tbe murderer of Sunbury.

SHADWELL & CO, COLUMBIAN SUPPLEMENT. VOLUME VIII. NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., MAY 17, 1890. NUMBER 90. TO THE ELECTORS OF New Westminster District. GENTLEMEN:—In view oi the near approach of the election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of our late representative (the much-respected D. Chisholm) and as I have stated in my card to you that I am a candidate for that honor, I will now lay before you some of my views on the leading questions which I consider will arise in the near future for consideration. I have beeu asked what I mean when I announce myself aB a Liberal-Conservative: I reply, "That by nature and education I am a Conservative, but a residence of over SO years in this Province and much intercourse with our American cousins has had the effect of changing many of my views, and given me liberal ideas, therefore I claim! am a Liberal-Conservative." Owing to the fact that party lines are not denned in British Columbia as they are in the older provinces, I consider that our representatives are not in duty bound to give a through-thick-and-thin support to any party, but they should go to Ottawa prepared to give a generous support to all good measures which may be brought before them, and to consider the prosperity of the Dominion as a whole, but our own Province in particular, and should a measure come before them which they consider in any way detrimental to the interests of this Province they should take their stand like true men and vote against it. I am opposed to a certain extent, to the Tariff, or National Policy as applied to British Columbia. We are a long way from the centres of manufacture in the East, and many articles of every-day use to our Farmers and others, and which wo cannot produce at home can be obtained more readily and at shorter notice from our near neighbors over the line, and in many cases tne articles are better adapted to our needs than those brought from tlie Eastern Provinces; in fact, much of our Farming and Mining Machinery, Wooden Ware and other articles are brought from the States, although the duties are so heavy. Again regarding our food supply; we do not raise enough to supply our wants, and are obliged to cross tne border for it, and are met with such heavy duties that heads of families in this Province pay more than ten to one compared to their compeers in Eastern Provinces. We have had example to the point during the lust three months. If we had not received a good supply from California there would have been a meat famine; as it is we ure now and have been paying 25 ccnta per pound for mutton, which is more than ordinary mortals like to pay, and the same state of affairs is likely to obtain again after any long and severe winter, for in spite of "Protection" for the last cloven years our stock raisers aro little better prepared to meet hard winters than they wero before, and to my mind the only ones who have reaped the benefit of the N. P. are the manufacturers. As a true Britisher I should like to see "Free Trade," but as that seems out of tho (]ucst.on,I would advocate "Reciprocity" in many articles which arc at present in the Tariff lists, ns 1 think it would be benciiciul to both countries, and the working man would not have to go down bo deep into, his pockets to buy what he needs to eat and wear. I am aware the Government must huve a revenue to carry on the affairs of the country, but I would have "luxuries" pay more and get at the pockets of the richer classes who can better afford to pay tuxes. Owing to Ihe long continued sickness of the late Mr. Chisholiu, ho was unable to bu in his place this BCHsion, and very little during the previous one, so we of this District have been practically unrepresented, and our local wants have not been brought before the notice of the House. Had ho (Mr. Chisholm) beeu iu his scat, I do not think the Post- master-Goneral would have heen left so much in the dark concerning the necessity of regular mail facilities on the Lower Fraser aB he seems to have been when he proposed to cut off the mail subsidy from that important route, aud there are other places" in the District which need better postal facilities, which I consider should receivo that gentleman's earliest attention, I hope that in the near future our District will reach that point that we may look for it to bo divided and receive another representative. At present I think it is the largest constituency in the Dominion, extending over 1500 miles of territory, and when the census returns aro in I think tho necessary number of population will be found to demand such additional representation. The protection of the river banks at Chilliwack, Sumas, Burton's Prairie and other places should receivo my earnest attention, also the works for improving the channel at tho Bandheads, in view of tho expected increase in our shipping interests. I consider tho Province should havo control over all railway charters and privileges within our borders. Onr Fishing interests, being of such great importance to this District in particular, I feel Bhould receivo more than ordinary attention. I would urge tho cutting of a canal through the Delta lands from the mouth of the Serpen tino to Frusor Kiver, also to enquire into tho question of cutting one from the Frasor Kiver to Port Moody, which has often been suggested to me. Immigration, I consider, should be fostered, and encouraged judiciously. Just at present it Ib coming hero fast enough; I would not like to see a large influx pour in at once, as many would be disappointed and go away disguBted and probably give our glorious Province a bad name. There are many other matters I should like to touch upon, but it would make this address too long. I hope to see as many as possible before the election, when I shall be prepared to lay my views more fully before them and answer any questions. As soon aB possible after the arrival of the writ I will arrange for a personal canvass and will send due notice of time and place of meetings. During my long residence in the Province I have travelled through much of it, from Victoria to Cariboo, and have noted its growth and requirements, therefore, I feel fully competent to bring such matters before the notice of the House in a practical, business-like manner. Bhould I have the honor to be ejected I assure you I shall watch over the interests of this District faithfully and to the best of my ability, not forgetting that I also go as a true British Columbian and to do my duty as such.
