THI SlNATE ON SAMOA.' --' Washington, Jan. 30.—When the consideration of amendments to the consular appropriation bill affecting Samoa wu resumed in the senate today, Dolpfa, of Oregon, criticized Bayard's policy severely. He alluded to the filttnfe'commerce of the Pacific coast with the islands of the Pacific, China, Japan, and Australia, which European nations aro trying to absorb while our government stands idly by and allows foreign governments to acquire advantages in tho Pacific ocean which the United States should possess. The Islands are being parcelled out between Great Britain and other foreign nations. He predicted that, unless something was done, we would in time lose our foot-hold on the Hawaiian Islands. He contended that the Monroe doctriue did not apply only to this continent bat to suoh islands iu the Atlantic or Pacifio oceans the preservation of tho au* tonomy of. which. wa« necessary to tho safety and well-being of tho United States. . Reasons for extending tho Monroe doctrine tu the Sumoan Islands are the same as thoso for asserting it in the Hawaiian islands, Reagan followed Dolph. He said nu American could read the Samoan correspondence without feeling humiliated at the brutal manner in which tho rights of the natives had been disicRftrdcd by Germany. He suid the preservation of the autonomy in Samoa was of vital importance, in view of the construction of an Inter* oceanic canal, He thought if we had any rights in Samoa they should be asserted as become a great and powor* fill nation. He did not want war with Germany, but he considered that Lhe degradation of tho honor uf a great nation aud tlie maintenance of abuse nf tin arrogant p*-wer was worse than war, aud ho, would not submit to it.

THE COMMONS Opened by Lord Stanley with the Usual Pomp.-Tlie Speech from the Throne. Canada Will Maintain Her Fisheries Rights. China Steamers to he Subsidized. Ottawa, Jan. 31.—Tho Dominion Uouso uf Commons was opened to-day hy His -Excellency the Gnyernor- Geiicrul, Lord Stanley. Tho galleries wero filled and the scene was brilliant. His Excellency's speech from the throne was as follows : Hon. Gentlemen of the Senate; Gentlemen of the House oj Commons: In addressing the parliament of Canada for the first time, in fulfilment of the important trust whioh has been committed to me as. her majesty's representative, I desire to express the satisfaction with which 1 resort to your advice and assistance. I am conscious, of the honor which attends xay association wi(h your labors for the welfare of the Dominion and it will be iny endeavor to co-operato with you to the utmost of my power in all thst may promote the prosperity of the people of this country, tho development of her material resources, and the maintenance of the constitutional!ties which unite her provinces. It iB to be regretted that the treaty concluded between Her Majesty and the president of the United States for the adjustment of the questions which have arisen with reference to tho fisheries, hai not been sanctioned by the U.S. senate, in whom the power of ratification is vested, and that our legislation of latt year on the subject is therefore in a great measure inoperative. It now only remains for Canada to continue to maintain her rights as prescribed by the convention of 1818, until some satisfactory re-adjustment is arranged by treaty between the two nations. An amendment will again be submitted to you to amend tho acts respecting tho electoral franchise, for the purpose of simplifying the law and lessening (he cost of-jits operation. It is expedient in the increase of commerce to assimilate, and in some particulars to amend, tile laws which now obtain in the several provinces of the Dominion relating to bills of exchange, cheques and promissory notes. A bill with this object will he laid before you. A bill will also be provided for making uniform, throughout the Dominion, the law relating to bills of lading. During the recess my government has carefully considered the subject of ocean steam service and you will be asked to provide a subsidy for the improvement of the Atlantio mail service and for the establishment, in concert with Her Majesty's government, of a liue of government, steamers between British Columbia and China and Japan, i'uur attention will also be invited to the best mode of developing our trade and scouring direct communications with Australsjiii., tUa Wost Indie*, and South America. A bill will bo submitted for your consideration for the prevention of certain offoncos in connection with municipal councils, and to give greater facilities for making inquiries for such matters. Several measures will also be presented to you for improving tho law of procedure in criminal cases. Among thoso will he a bill (o permit the release ou probation of persons convicted of first offence-; a bill authorizing a regulation to be made for the practice in cases partaking of the nature of criminal proceedings, and a bill to make tho Speedy Trials Act, applicable throughout Canada. Bills lelnting to the inspection of timber and lumber, for tho improvement of the postal system and for increasing the efficiency of the Northwest mounted police will also be submitted for your consideration. The royal commissioners on labor having concluded their enquiries, I hope to be able to lay before you at an early day their report, with the important evidence collected by them in various parts of Canada. GadlemcnoftheHouse of Commons:— The accounts for the estimates for the ensuing year will be laid before you. These estimates have been prepared with a due regard to economy and tbe efficiency of the publio service. Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate; Gentlemen of the House of Commons:— I now commend there several subjects and the others which may be brought before you to your earnest consider* tion and trust that the results of your deliberations may, under the Divine blessing, tend to promote the well- being aud prosperity of Canada. or words to that effect; and we all, I think, wish to make it a little pleasanter for the individual—whilo he lasts. And I know of nothing more important in that direction just now than the advocacy of water and sewerage. I have said nothing as to the financial details, nnd will not now. There may ho a little difficulty there. But if the council and the citizens will tako hold of the matter as they took hold of railway and navigation improvement, that knot will come out straight in very short order. Now a word as to "Public Benefits'" point. He makes me a stalking horse, from behind which to five a shot at the svstem of taxation. Mr, "Public Bone- fits," I am with you there, every time! I don't know tbat I am quite prepared to go the whole animal with tbo "single tax." men; hut I am leaning over in that direction, and I quito heartily endorse the m'lvici; you givo to tbe 05 per cent. Your system is, I believo, the righteous one, and every champion of rigliteoun* litis should be an advocate of cleanll* ness, which we know, is tho next thing. Citizen. The TftxMlfln QurstlttB. Editor Columbian.- I think the reply to. "Citizen's" letter gives a slight hint to the cause which is retarding tlie progress of Westminster, notwithstanding its splendid location; and that is, speculation in land. The sooner the people open their eyes to this glaring fact the better it will be for our city. Tbe only euro is to tax land values, I am sorry to think, Mr. Editor, you are taking the Bide of. those who-.would -tax a man for being enterprising,' Your editorial supporting that principle was very amusing to mc, at least. You said taxing land only was unjust; that those who have the most buildings and improvements on their land should pay the most taxes, as they secured greater benefits from the city government in the shape of police protection and fire department. Now I claim, Mr. Editor, that that security does not increase the value of their buildings; because tbe value of a building is the amount it will take to produce it. That1 security adds only to the value ot land, and not a cent more on the site on which tbat building stands than on other Bites which are vacant. So you call that a just tax—to tax a man who makes the most of bis opportunities. No, no, Mr. Editor, the only just . way is to tax a man's opportunities and thereby stimulate blm to improve them.. You felt greatly interested in the welfare of the poor man with the vacant lot next the man with a mansion on his lot. If men are encouraged to put np fine mansions by not taxing them for so doing, will not the poor man have a better chance to put up one, too, that is if he is a honafde working man? I don't think you will find any working man in that position in this city. Tboy are merely land speculators resting themselves till there are some fine man -.ions around their land, bo tbat tbey can sell out at a big advance. These are they who are the enemies ot this oity. So I say tax them out. You say Westminster is in a position now, that it can afford to tax men for improving it. If this city could not afford to tax improvements when it was the only city on the mainland of British Columbia, it can't afford it now when it has a rival on the inlet which Is taking away its trade. . fSoit.0 people say if thn, laud. value tax is such a good system of taxation why is it that this city bas progressed so slow! The reason is the land has not been assessed to its real value. But now when the city has got a respectable debt to pay, now is the time to assess the land at its real value, and raise tbo tax, if necessary, so that those who are holding lots vacant, and thereby keeping back the progress of the city, will be forced to use them or sell them at a reasonable price to some one who desires to make use of them. Some say that the assessment roll must be increased so that we can borrow nion.'y on better terms, but it is strange morality which teaches ub to borrow money on the security of other people's property. "Citizen" showed the enterprise of tbo community added to the value of land. Why not borrow on the market-value of the land T There is nothing to* hinder this city from having its assessment roll large enough, seeing the boundaries of the city have been extended. It is a fact that lots on the hill have been assessed somewhere near their value, but in the business portion of tbe city they wore assessed greatly below their value. This matter deserves the attention of of every true citizen, so that the improving and beautifying of the city will not be discouraged. Pro Bono Publico. Westminster, Jan. 2Qth, 1880.

"ClllienV* Brjelailer. Editor Columbian :—Your cm-respondent "Public .Benefits," is evidently a man who thinks for himself, and Is therefor one to whom, although ho misrepresents and misjudges mc, I take off my hat, I did not say that I voted, signed, etc., because it would put money in my poc- ket.nor do I think (I havo not tbe paper at hand) that your types made me Say so. I simply cited the voting, signing, nnd expectation of some benefit, to guard in advance against being set down as a disgruntled injunctor and to show tbat I did not wish to decry the railway scheme. And it is quite certain that somo of our well water, or something equally pernicious must havo ga| into my brains, if I penned a word upon which ono could justly have the opinion that I regarded the comparatively rich among ub as, because of their money, "select." I value men for what they are, not for what they have. Will "Public Benefits" allow me to give him ono word of a-U Ice t Don't Weaken your argument by abuso, and when a man criticises or even condemns, tha actions of others, don't cry out that he "casts a slur on their intelligence." Our best Intelligence is fallible. Now to. my' point. - The - branch was, and is, an immense benefit to New Westminster, as a community; tho Southern doiil.tli.B8, will be an immense benefit also. Bat of the people resident in.Now Westminster when tlio branch bylaw was voted, how many hnvo received, iu consequence of tbo building of tbe railway, practical material benefit! You know audi know, and "Public Benefits" knows that tho percentage Is small. Let us not quarrel over tho exact figure, We all recognize tho fact that; "The Individual withers aud tho wbrld Is more nint more," Alderman Cunningham, in theso columns, a few days since, advised, very rightly that "the hatchet be buried," and "Public Opinion" thought that tho obsequies had taken place; if so, it would appear that the grave-digger hardly dug the grave deep enough, or failed to cover the hatchet with enough earth, for "Citizen", "Public Benefits" and "Witness" aro wiggling and twisting, with a grip on the handle, straining to resurrect this "dividing instrument" to split what t By the composition of their letters,, no ono can tell. We implore these scribes to have pity and in mercy let the tension upon our nerves be relieved or the eight doctors we hate in the city will not be able to cope with that dread disease, "railway on the brain." All you can say. now will not altor the city's course in railway matters and "Public Opinion" here pronounces the benediction- Rcpiiescat in pace. ** Preparations for the approaching session of the Dominion parliament are complete, and each train arriving in Ottawa brings a large number of members snd senators to attend their parliamentary duties.

Vnncouver city is undoubtedly entitled to a registry office moro convenient for the transaction of its registry business than the office at this city; and, now that tho civic authorities are moving in the right direction, wo havo much pleasuro in seconding their request to tho provincial legislature. Last Monday night, while our new city council were holding their first meeting in the council chambers, amid the utmost harmony and good feeling, the couucil hall of their brethren ut Vancouver was tho scone of the wildest dissension, culminating in an evenly contested tug of war, of three heats, between the oast-enders and the west enders, the former winning every heat, from the fact thut Mayor Oppenheimer throw his weight ou that end of the ropu. The question on which the counoil divided was the opening up of Hastings street to tho east-end park—:i tract of 160 ncre_i donated to the city by the provincial government. The west oncl aldermpn, five in number, bucked ngainst the proposed appropriation—u matter of 87,000 or $8,000—tb put tho road through to the park, one of tho excited west-enders going so fnr as to rail ut property owners in the east end as "mere speculators." The east-end "dauntless five," however, stood solidly together, and as intimated, with the mayor's casting vote, carried their point and the measure. Some of the west-enders, by way of casing their footings, Indulged in a little abuse and some angry threats towards the mayor, who, however, did not appear to "take water,9' but told the malcontents that ho was exercising his prerogative and would do as he pleased. The fractious and sectional behavior of the west-enders is generally condemned, and it is hoped by those having the best interests of Vancouver at heart that such unseemly and foolish discussions will in future be suppressed in the council proceedings of the "empire city." In another column will be found tho full text of the speech from the throne at the opening of the house of commons, which took placo this afternoon at Ottawa. The speech, it will bo observed, is comprehensive and pithy, as snch documents go, and contains a decided declara tion of - the government's intended policy on some points—more particularly with respect to the international fisheries question, upon which, us will be seen, a firm stand has been ttiken, which means an abolishment of the modus vivendi granting temporary licenses to American fishing vessels, and a return to the fishery article of the convention of 1818, and an enforcement of the ._iri-i.-i_.il.. limit regulation of tlmt article-, "until some satisfactory re-adjustment is arranged by treaty between tho two nations." When the fishing licenses that have already beon granted under the moduM vivendi lapse, and, according to (heir declaration, no further licenses will he issued by tho Oanadian nut I mri ties, wo mny look for wincing and, perhaps, bluster, on the pui-t of our American cousins; but Canada will lm standing on her striot rights, and, with the moral support which this fact carries, can afford to maintain those rights, come what may. No better courso could be adopted to hasten the consummation of some "satisfactory re-adjustment * * # between the two nations." It will be noted with satisfaction, also, that the Dominion government don't intend to allow tbe "briny deep" to. go un- plotighed for want of steamship subsidies to establish "direct communication" aud "develop trade" between Canada and China, Japan, Austra- feiia, the West Indies and South America, via British Oolumbia, The amendment promised with respect to the electoral franchise, "for the purpose of simplifying the law and lessening tho cost of its operation," will be appreciated, if it accomplishes these desirable ends. Other important legislation is hinted at in the-speech from the throne, whioh we cannot Spare the space to notice. Job printing of all kinds neatly dons at the OowniauK office. Prices will be found as low as at any other offlos In the provlnoe,—-drfe Wo print somo more correspondence to-day on the taxation question. We have not got time, nor is it worth while, to turn aside and examine minutely nil the sage book-sayings with which some of our correspondents deluge the subject. We put the matter in a very fair and clear light a little over a week ago, from the Standpoint of taxing improvements. Our position taken then has not been successfully assailed, and it would be an unnecessary waste of time to go into repetition. We are perfectly aware that there are two sides to this question of taxation, as to most other questions, and that they have been ably argued over and over again. In this connection, it is somewhat significant, however, that in actual practice, there is really only one side—that of considering improvements as part of the real estate for purposes of taxation. Even iu theory, most of our correspondents weaken their case by laying too much stress on the question of taxation, attributing to it an importance, us affecting tho progression or retrogression of a city, which it is far from possessing, and making statements and assumptions which aro contradicted, not only by our own experience, but by world-wide demonstrated facts. For instance, one, at least, of our correspondents —others have hinted at the same thing—has allowed his imagination to depict the building boom that would strike this city if wo were to adopt the system of taxing land only, As Westminster has never enjoyed any other system of taxation, the prophetic boom is in order any time, and has been for years past. But, as we have already intimated, our own experience—with a land tax only, nnd little or no growth for years—and the experience of the world's greatest cities—that have reached their proud eminence in spite of the tax on improvements, and otber taxes of which we as yet have had no experience—clearly demonstrate that a tax on improvements will not prevent a town from growing, nor the remission of this tax start a building boom. There is plainly nothing to be gained by attaching an exaggerated importance to the question of municipal taxation, as to its particular methods or effects. In the case of this city, tbe first and great desideratum is, more revenue; that we must have. Our municipal revenue is ridiculously email at present, and unless it is largely increased and necessary civic improvements—which have already been shelved too long—undertaken immediately, we shall find ourselves, deservedly, discredited and sidetracked as a city, and our "building boom" will have slid around to some city where they do things in a modern style, and tax improvements! However, we believe that the citizens have a right to choose in what way they shall be taxed, and if they wish to creep on in the old atyle ft while longer- with the difference that all real estate shall be assessed up to its full value/and the rate of taxation raised as well—why tlie majority must rule, of course, and it may be possible to raise a sufficient revenue for the next few years by this means. Eventually, however, we believe that in addition to taxing real property to its full value (which is as far as can be gone in that direction, whether the said real property chances to be owned by enterprising men of means, who have built upon it, by poor men, who have been unable to build, or by speculators, who have been unwilling), we will find it necessary to imitate the example of all cities the world over, and put at least a moderate tax upon improvements, with exemptions of a certain kind and degree in favor*of the bona fide workingman's home.

A writer In the Juneau City Minimi Sic- ort givo. a graphic description of experiences while ln the recent prospecting tour in Alaska: On the morning of July 9, he Buys, wo left Douglas City on tho favorite aud fust-sailing canoe Hlak, Captain Jim (both well and ta. orawyiknown io Alaskan waters) for a prospecting trip iu Lynn Canal. As the day was Hue and the wind fair the sail through Gastineaux, Stephens' passage nnd Lynn Canal-was delightful, as each ono is dotted with littlo islands, rising from the water's edge to a height of a thousand feotor more, whilst tho mountains on the mainland are thousands of feot high, with ragged peaks not unlike tho teeth of an old-fashioned cross-sut saw, tho spaces botWeon the peaks being filled with glaciers and tho peaks themsolves are covered with perpetual snow. As I am a chco-chaco In tho country (that's what my chums call me), every thing appeared wild and picturesque, aud as I burst out in exclamations of admiration every once ina while at the scenery, they would sayi "Oh, shu.ksl that ain't nothing; you had ought to see the scenery on the Yukon." The flrst night we camped on a oreek about thirty mile, from Juneau, where our native told us then was some quart,. We stayed and examined It, but did not think enough of It to locate It PThe neit day we arrived at our native'. Uiahee (as he called it), situated at Lynn Canal, and distantabout forty miles from Juneau. It Is n beautiful bay, fitted with many islands and teeming with fish, from tbe mighty whale to the tiny herring, while the woods and mountains aro full of game—the small and harmless ground-hog and the large and fierce brown bear. The Indian who accompanied us Is a fine specimen of his race; ho stands over six feet in bis bare feet, and weighs over two hundred pounds. He is a Mormon in proclivities, ior he ha. a number of wives, who appear well satisfied with him as their lord and master, and I oould see no sign of the green-eyed monster. Ho la a bear hunter by occupation, and an enthusiast in that line, und many were the stories and hairbreadth escapeB he related. I can well bellove ho is a good hunter, as his larder is woll stocked with fish, flesh and fowl; his wives wero brown, fat and greasy; his dogs, of whioh he had seven, were all in splendid condition, and that is more than can be sold of most Indian dogs. He told us the peculiarities ot eaeh, and showed us the .oany wounds they had received In their encounters with bruin. Ho also.bowed us tho holo whero he burled the bear.' heads,' and thoro must have been twenty skulls tn It I inquired of him why he did so, and he told me: "Bear all same Indian; by and by he go to the happy rooting ground." As a host he is a prince, and right royally ho treated us to all kinds of game put up iu Indian style. Wo had smoked porcupine put up in seal oil, and one of bur crowd who protends to be an epicure said it was delicious ; thero were seal's flipper, cooked in grease, whioh wore not dissimilar to plg'a feot; baked ground hog stuffed with mussels, which gavo the hog a fishy taste and improved tbe flavor of the mussels. His bear's head cheese was actually immense, and there wore many moro I dishes too numerous to mention. Ho showed many kinds of roots and herbs good foe food and mcdiclue. Ha nlso showed his canned halibut, hooks and all of hi. dancing outfit, Hts headgear and mask cost him fifty dollars; it was wild and uncouth, and was carved out of yellow cedar. It had a largo Soso like a parrot's beak, oyes made of rather of-pearl, a mouth which contained io toeth ot tho only siwash dootor on cab's ark, ears made from the hide of the -tbyosaurus, hair made from the' sea ion's whisker.. His hunting knife had some unique carving on the handle that represented somo Indian myth tho bears wore afraid of. A. a prospector, like many noro following that vocation, I do not con- ilder him a success, aa we examined many ilacesthat he showed us, but could tee ithlng except white and barren quarts. He had othor place, he wanted to .bow i, and we would havogono with him, but io of the party had an acute attack of lu* latnmatory rheumatism. Tbo native told . _ tho. extent ot his -territory, and sold ho expected white mon prospecting on bis do* imain to pay him *_._0 per day for his knowledge and services. He aaid the land and water belonged to his ancestors from timo (Immemorial, and he Inquired If white mon owning t similar amount of land would allow ere-jr Hody on It His argumont brought forcibly te our mind the "bloated bondholders" of America and tho land question that is now agitating the British Empire, whoro Lords, Dukos and Earls are holding hundreds of mile, .quaro that their ancos* ors acquired by might, while lie claims his ,y right The only difference I icobotw.cn thom and thla Indian li that ho will be glad to aee you hunt or fiih on his supposed •country, while if you caught a trout in their waters or shot a n»c_alntln tholr wood, you would got abod. five yea™. The next day wo traveled against ahead wind and a terrible rain, and after getting ^drenched to the alda we camped.

TIERRA DEL FUEGO. Conflicting Reports Concernloc Tliis Com* parutlv-l** Unknown Couotry. The group of islands which form tho archipelago of Tierra del Fuegohaveanareaiof aboutftljOOO square miles, nearly the samo size as England and BootlanA. Darwfado- scribes the country ais "»' mountainous land, partly submerged in tlje sea, so deep that inlets and bays occupy the placo whore tho valleys should exist. To find an aero of level land in any part of the country is most rare." Don Ramon Llsta, however, wbo has had greater and more recent opportunities of investigation, thinks this do* Bcriptlon a mistaken ono. As reported In Chamixi*' Jowrnol, ho describes Argentine Tiorra doi Fuegq as proBenting two aspects. In the north there nre vhlleys more or loss extensive,.covered with splendid groves, and Irrigated by large rivers, some of which are navigable; this region enjoying an agreeable temperature, with very liltlo snow during the winter. South of this ho reports that tho appearance of tho count it changes and extended forests appcur, whoro the grass is not as abundant or tho rivers so largo. Tho face of the land is hi ths part something like Bwitserland, with small lakes, elevated mountains 'and valuable timber forests. Ho seems to think the country capable of great development, foi* he odds; "On tho plains thero will ye* ho planted a great pastoral industry, while I believo tho mountains will bo found to contain valuable mineral deposits." Travelers' reports as to the inhabitants of Tierra; del Fuogo hare been conflicting. Bomo visitors have reported the natives to bo stalwart, flue-looking men, and others have described them as small aud abject beings, . Darwin, whose scleutiflc investigations were »nflned to the south of tho country, says that "ono oan hardly believe them to be fellow creatures and inhabitants of tho sumo world." On tho other hand, other explorenl in the Nortb and Northwest describe the Fuogian:. as powerful men of large stature and warllltu instincts. Tbls apparent discropatit-y bgc.i»& to bo due to the fact that the lund is inhabited by two very distinct races of Indians. Mr. Brydges, whose long residence in the country enables bim to speak with authority on this point, assures us that thore are two separate and distinct tribes dwelling In Tierra del Fuego. He calls them, as thoy call themselves, Onras and Yahgans; tbe former Hying in the North and tho Jnttop in tho South, The Onas seem to bn] almost identical in character, manner and langUago with tho Tuehelche Indians of Patagonia. Like them, they use bows and arrows ln the ohaso and are muscular, active and well formed. Their number is now much reduced, an opidemle of measles having beon very fatal among them a few years ago, and the whole tribe probably does not now number more than five hundred persons. Thoy are nomadic and live principally In portablo tents, covered with gunnaco skins. Mr. Popper did not form a high opinion of their intellectual faculties, judging from the primltivo nature of their implements. He describee their'tools as consisting for the most part of pieces of iron taken from some vessel cast on shore, and tied to pieces of wood by leather thongs. They have no canoes and do not fish, though thoy pick up on the shore such fish as are left behind after heavy tides, Their only water vessels nre large shells, but they dis play some Ingenuity in making arrows mul WitELSQN, Merchant Tailor, POET MOODIT, B.

"Tho city to havo tho privelege at any time after the expiration of ten years of acquiring tho workB upon such reasonable terms ns may be agreed upon by mutunl consent."

From Famed Texada. Tho C. P. N. Co's. steamer Maude arrived nt Spratt's wharf, from Texada Island, shortly after seven o'clock yesterday morning. The Maude only remained at Texada for about half an hour, mul that early in tho morning, between fivo nnd six o'clock. The miners and prospectors going up by the Maude were met by a few of the treasure so-kers who wero thero boforo them, aud who apparently could uot any enough of tho prospects of tho island. There is now about 100 men at the camp, nnd a large number of claims hnve already boen taken up. Prospecting is being busily pushed on every Bide, and Boon owry available claim will be taken. It is stated that an offer of 350,000 for one of tho moat promising claims on the island wns refused by the owners, Nanaimo men, on Fridny last. No great "finds" nre being reported, but the confidence of the miners in the permanent richness of the veins is universal. Steamers from Nanaimo are constantly arriving with prospectors and miners, and everything is fairly booming at the mining camp.—Wednesday's Colonist, H. ' ' . ■ Rnllway Smash-lip. A somewhat serious accident occurred ou tho C. P. R. Tuesday in the Selkirks, aome eight miles east of Field. A ireight train was moving at an ordinary rate down tho steep grade which exists at the point named. The rain of tho early morning, in consequence of the sudden chango iu the weather, which had fallen on tho rails turned into a small coating of ice. At intervals of short distances, ns those who have travelled tho route will havo observed, are placed sidings running up against the side of tho mountains, Theso nro constructed in such a manner as to arrest tho progress of a train should it becomo unmanageable. Approaching trains givo the signal whistle for closing the switch whilst passing. The moment tho train passes tho Bwitch is again opened, and so remains until it is closed as already explained. Ir, is believed that the ice had formed so rapidly as to prevent tho working of the switch with rapidity. Tho freight train was wrecked, but to what extent is not yet definite- known. The fireman and brakesman received such injuries that they died from the effects. The engineer was also injured, but not fatally. Ho will recover. A Urge force of men and wrecking appliances and physicians were at once despatched from Donald to clear the wreck. Traffic was interrupted for a short time.—World. PERSONAL. Cnpt.

(Before T. C. Atkinson, P.M.) J. 0, Smith, charged under the complaint of W. E. Fales with receiving money uuder false pretenses, pleaded not guilty. W, E.

He aaid he was going back to Vancouver in the morning and he would get some money from Mr. Hart who wai owing him, and sond it by th first train. I said he could have 910 but 1 required it back immediately. 1 gave liiw tho money and he said it would bo all right. Later on iu the evening Smith came back nnd asked for the loan of another $10, but I refused it. Then he asked for $5, and I refused to give that. Next morning I went to Vancouver and learned from Mr. Hart that he knew nothing of Smith's whereabouts, and his actions had been suspicions of lato, Hia Honor dismissed the case with mists, but before doing ao read Smith a severe lecture on his evident dishonesty, which though not coming within the reach of the law was as conclusive in the eyoi of all men m if it did.

Vi.rrouiA, Jan. 31.— The morning wns ushered in with drizzling rain, which continued nearly all day and left the streets in a filthy condition. Notwithstanding this, a largo number of leading citizens and many ladies were present nt the ceremony of tho formal opening of the legislature by His Honor Lieut.-Governor Nelson. His Honor's staff consisted of Lieut- Col. Holmes, Capt. Benson, Capt. Clark, Capt. Nichols, Dr. Bookie aud Dr. Mathews. The guard of honor was composed of members of "C" Battery and was in charge of Major Peters and Lieut. Gaudet. His Honor ascended the throne at 2 p.m. and delivered the following speech;— Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen oj the Legislative Assembly; It is very gratifying in meeting you at the opening of this your third session, to bo able to congratulto you upon tho continued and increasing prosperity of the provinco. The past year has been ono ot goneral prosperity; but moro particularly it has been so in regard to laying the foundations of further development of our great forest, mineral and inarinu wealth. The yield of our coal mines exceeds any previous yoar, whilo the opening of new mines promises a great expansion in this important industry. The revenue for the last fiscal year considerably exceeded your estimate, and the present year promises still furthor increase. Although the progress made in actual development of quartz mining is, perhaps, not equal to anticipation, yet* the important discoveries recently made and tho organizations in process of formation for the introduction of capital and tho effective treatment of ores, justify the expectation of more substantial results in the near future, Acting under authority given by you last session my ministers have caused reduction works to be erected in Cariboo. These works will soon be ready for the treatment of ore; and it is hoped that an impetus will thuB be giving mining enterprise in that district. During the past year an unfortunate difficulty aroio in connection with the administration of jnatioeamongatjtheln- dians of the upper Skeena necessitating the sending of forces to thnt country. The serviceB of "C" battery was called into requisition, and it is believed that much permanent good will result from the display of strength amongst these remote and semi-barboroua tribes. At the suggestion of the Dominion premier, I commissioned one of my ministers to proceed to Ottawa for the purpose of discussing with the Dominion governino.it sevornl mnttora of public interest, with a view of arranging a basis of settlement. Papers concerning that mission will bu laid befoio you. Tho "Minerals case"- having been heard before the judical committee of Her Majesty's privy council there is every reason to cxpoct n decision will be delivered before the labors of the present session nre concluded. The consolidation of statotaa* ia at length completed and you will be asked to pais a measure necessary to give effect to that work. You will bo invited to consider whether the time has not nrrived for tho establishment iu the province of a juvenile reformatory. Tho public accounts will bo placod before you, and estimates for the public sorvico during the coming year will be submitted for your consideration. I leave you. to your deliberation with the confidence that your best endeavors will be directed to promote the interest! of the province, and i pray that Providence may guide your efforts. Mr. J. B. Naaon, for Cariboo, and J, Tolmie, for Victoria district, were introduced. The House adjourned till 2 p.m. to* morrow. Onr Legislative Assembly.
