Tho Picayune Baton Houge apeuiiil says: a warrant, drawn threo or four months ngo for over $500,000, was recently presented for payment, which it is ascertained was presented und paid about the time of its date.

San Francisco, Sept. 26.—Tho directors of the California athletic club were highly indignant to*day over Tuesday night's fiasco, and wero not backward in expressing their indignation. They would not openly disclose that Warren ond Murphy will not receive any monoy for their disreputable conduct, but thoy intimated that the amounts they would get would barely pay their training expenses. The directors will hold a special meeting this evoning to discuss tho subject and vote the same bo givon them. TRIED TO CROSS. tasNO, Oal., Sopt. 20.—E. A.

Ottawa, Sept. 25.—Tho governor- getioral has set October 15th for tho hearing of tho appeal of John Dougall and others of Quebec provinco in regard to tho Jesuits EstiU-s legislation. Kemp, tho old man taken from tho Quebeo ruins, niter having been buried 108 hours, is dead. The Ohamplain ward inhabitants are very much excited against certain federal government and city oflicials. After the verdicts of the coroner's inquest have beon returned, they will hold an indignation meeting, and trouble is feared, for the peoplo of Champlain ward are vory resolute, und generally carry out their threats. Crowds can bo aeon assembling horo and there, speaking and gesticulating vehemently. The wholo drama hus been repeated ovor aud over by them with more or Iobs bitterness. Somo of those men may grow furious at hearing that certain oity ouV cials had endeavored to give money to some of the wounded in the tho Hotel Dteu hospital in order to koop thom trom relating any grievances they may have. Oount Pure, tho technical attache at the Gorman embassy at Washington, is here to make a study of tho Canadian railway and canal system fur his government. Sir George Stephen and Mr. Van Homo had a conference with Sir John A. Macdonald to-day regarding poatal matters and the question of making Victoria a calling port for the trans* Paoilio steamers. Tho result is not made known. MATTERS EUROPEAN. London, Sept. 25.—Tho Muuvanent Geographitjuc, which is usually a safo authority on African matters, claims to havo positive proof of iti assertion that FI. M. Stanley has secured the serviced of Emin Bey fur the British East Africa Company. It stales that when Kiniii Bey left the Nyanza it waa to go into the British province in tho company's interest. M. De Giers, the Russian minister of foreign allairs, has left his estates iu Finland tu attend the czar on his majesty's visit to Berlin. This action gives practically u contradiction to a rumor thut hud gained currency, to the ellect that the czar intended to have M. De Gicrs remain remote from reach during the Berlin visit as an excuse fur tho czar'a avoiding a political agreement ou that occasion. Mr. Davitt writes to tho Pall Mall Gazette, that Chief Secretary Balfour's baok down ou the Irish university question, is due to his failure to wean the priests of Ireland from their alliance with the national league, Mr. Davitt adds that Mr. Balfour has not yet repaid tho popo for his rescript to the Irish bishops, nnd will probably add tho Catholic college to tho Dublin University as at least a partial re* cognition of tho services rendered to the conservatives by his holiness. The defeat of M. Jules Ferry iu tho late Fronch election confuses the opportunists. It is nut easy to determine to what extent M. Ferry's personal unpopularity contributed to hiB defeat, and how much was due purely to his political standing. M. Ferry's friends are urging him to stand for election again in some district where his party is strong euough to loavo no doubt of his success in the re-ballot. CHILLIWACK FAIE. FROM VICTORIA, MoultlcrH on Strike. Tlioa. Enrle Nominated for the Dominion House. War. ships for Went min*tor. Special to The Coixmhias. Victoria, Sopt. 26.—Tho moulders employed by tho Albion Iron Worka went on striko this morning. It is understood the causo of the difficulty is a misunderstanding with the fore* man, who is a non-union man. The strikers number about twenty-live. Thoy are holding a meeting this aftornoon to decide upon a programme. The requisition requesting Thomas Earle to accept tho nomination for the Dominion House is very numerously signed, ubout 500 signatures being attached to it. Mr. Ernie haB accepted the nomination, and promises the pros* ont Dominion Administration a generous but Independent support. The City of Puonlo Bailed at one o'olock for San Frauoisco with 125 passengers and a full cargo. Sho is on a record breaking trip. H. M.

A lit-craiHe in the Total Mnwher ot Ex- lillillff Irom Laat fear.—Some of the Prize Winner*-. Special to the Columbian. Chilliwack, Sept. 26.--The exhibition was formally opened this morning, at 10 o'clock, by tho premier and provincial secretary, Hon. John Robson. He made au able speech and referred to the many vexed questions which had been settled between the Dominion and local governments, also to tho certainty of a line of railway traversing the valley at an early date south of the Fraser. tie was cordially received and applauded at the close of his remarks. Mr. Ladner, M. P. P., also spoke, delivering one of his most humorous and happiest of addresses. President Webb thanked the premier and Mr. Ladner for tbeir presence. There is a great crowd hero to-dny. The wealth and the beauty of tho valley are in their beat attire. There is great intemt in the tiding contest™, which will be settled this afternoon. The news published in The Colum* bian that Aid. Cunningham had taken flrat prize for fruit, and W. G. Henry first for vegetables and second fur fruit, at Toronto, was received with gratification. A large number of en* trios were made hero to-day for the provincial exhibition. The total number of entries ir thu Chilliwhack exhibition waa 625, a alight decrease from laat year. Several reasons are given for this falling off, the correct one, most probably being, that the farmers have been bo busy taking advantage of the fine weather to harvest their crops that they could not devote much time to preparing for the exhibition. Tlie fruit display is far ahort of what it should be, but t" "" *"" PERSONAL. Guests at tho Queen; C. S. McDowell, W. D. Haywood, R. E. Allan, T. J. Allan, Capt. Woodward, R. Mc- Guiuii, Vancouver.

The whole trip to the east was made in easy stages, and was unaccompanied by any unpleasant delays or accidents. Lady Selkirk and her companon fairly went into raptures over tho ;ylances ef the Fruser River scenery, Spuzzum aud Yalo being described as beyond compare. Lidy Selkirk has expressed her desire to meet any of the -deoend- ants of the Red River colony who may have settled in this provinco.

Tub Columbian prize for the best exhibits of grains wm won by Mr. H. Kipp, whose exhibits are large and fine and well worthy of their success. In all, Mr. Kipp, took seven prizes for grains. Mr. J. Reece made the best all round display of vegetables, and won numerous prizes, Adam Vedder showed some stalks of field corn, fifteen foet high, with ears nearly 20 inches in length. Wilder and Brown's exhibit of a new variety of potatoes, named Rural New Yorker, was very fine and attracted consider able attention. Mr. A, O. Wells carried off the first prize for peaches again this year, and Rev. C M. Tate took the first prize for grapes, with some beautiful samples. Messrs. McCuteheon, Wells and Ashwell made the finest and largest exhibits of fruits. In cattle the number of entries are far in excess of last year, but outside of Holsteins Hnd graded stock there were not a half a dozen animals shown. Mr. D. McGillivray took the only prizes for Durhains, and Mr. C. Chad* sey and Mr. T. R. Pearson for Jerseys. In Holsteins Mr. G. W. Chadsey and Mr. Reeoe divided the honors, taking six oub of the seven prizes. They showed some handsomo oattle which are certain to take a leading plaoe at tho provincial fair, ln graded stock the large number of entriei made the competition keen and the prizes wore more evenly distributed, although tho lion's share fell to Mr. A, C. Wells and Mr. Dunville. Mr. R. Nowoll's fine sheep took overy prize in the Southdown class. In graded sheep, Mr. Wells and Mr. Rcoee hod several prize winners. In graded pigs Mr. H, Webb had the best showing and carried off tho two importnnt prizes. The poultry display was not noarly what it should have been. Mrs. Evans won first prize for roll butter, and Mrs. Forsytno took the remaining two prizes for best firkin butter and best packed butter. The dairy exhibits were certainly very fine, aud the judges wero sorely puzzled to decide on the samples entitled to the prizes. In no other line was competition more keen than in this. The floral display was beautiful, and the ladies deserve tho highest credit for the assistance they rendered the exhibition by mak* ing it so much more attractive by their exhibits. Many of the plants were rare and seldom seen outsido of a first- class conservatory collection, and the bouquets, baskets and collections were arranged and blended in beautiful and attractive style. Mrs, Evans, Mrs. Ashwell and Mrs, A. C. Wells showed tbe best collections. In ladies' plain and fancy work, knitting, etc., the exhibits were more numerous and superior in every way to those of last year, which leads one to think that these exhibitions are putting tho fair sex on their mettle, with the result that home decorations are receiving more attention. In crochet wurk and knitting the entries were most numerous, but nil divisions wore largely represented. The largest prize winners are: Mrs. Barber, 8; Mrs, Tate, 7; Mrs. A. O. Wells, 0; Mrs. Streot, 3, find Mrs. Evans, 3. Mrs. A. S. Vedder won lint prizo for best six samples of knitting. In drawings, Mrs. Stevenson took prizes for a pen and ink sketch and for a water color, Miss Susan Hall for best pencil drawing, and Mias McGillivray for best crayon.

A petition is boing circulated for signatures, which will be presented to the city council, asking that a by-law be passed prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating liquors between the hours of 12 o'clock on Saturday night and 12 o'olock on Sunday night The advocates of Sunday closing are more numerous and more influential than n few years ago, when a similar measure was discussed, and the movement will therefore meet with more genoral approval. Tho petition, which was started yesterday, already oontaiusa number of signatures.—Tims, Sept, S^th, Judge Bain, of Montreal, refused a request to hsve certain cloistered nuns of tho Hotel Dieu examined in their convent. CORRESPONDENCE. Advice to Candidate*. Editor Colombian—Sir: Allow mo to advise tho candidates Inthe coming election for the local house, to fill tho place made vacant by tho elevation of Mr. Bole to the bench, to refrain from can* valuing themselves. Such buttonholing is a frightful cause of corruption; if a man la so anxious to be dec'od, ho is ready to mako all sorts of promises, and tho electors (some of them) may be tempted to sell their votes. Voteb. Children Cryfor PitchertCaitorla Sported the Haa. Says the World; A very silly article appeared in the News Advertiser on Sunday stating that the Victoria tire* men had gone through the Taeoma tournament under the stars ant stripes. We bad no difficulty in expressing our belief that so palably mischievous an assertion was untrue. Chief Deosy writes the paper in question, denying the story whioh a '-gentleman" manufactured. Chief Deasy acted very fairly to our boys—he is a fine fellow anyway—and it is hardly fair to circulate untruths of this kiud. The Times, in this connection says: "Tho Victoria team wero not -ashamed to show thoir colors.' Two small Union * Jacks, which Chief Deasy managed to secure at a late hour on the night' preceding the morning on which he left for Tacoma, were camel in the centre of the reel of the hose cart, while a proper compliment was paid to the Stars and Stripes by placing them on either side of our,own colors. So far as New Westminster was concerned the royal city boys carried a good-sized Union Jack ou their hose cart and the Nanaimo representatives, who marcned iu the proce&uuti without a cart, probably did not consider they needed one. What Nanumo did do was to march out in neat ar d pretty uniform which loooked &a well as any ontho ground." LATE CANADIAN NEWS. E. N. Boucher, of Montreal, got seven years, lately for abstracting money frem a letter, Messrs. McLean & Mcllobbie, of Rat Portage, liavo already thrashed over 30,000 bushels of wheat, und have euough to keep three machines going steadily for five days yet.

Michael Mulcahy was yesterday at Montreal sentenced to fouitien years in the peuitentiary for criminally assaulting a young girl. There' was strong evidence in bis favor, and he declares be is innocent. Tho unpropitious weather which marked thu advent to Winnipeg city of the vice regal patry continued Tuesday. If anything, the weather was more disagreeable, a drizzling raiu fall* ing all tho afternoon. In the aftornoon a regatta was held, and in the evening a state dinnor was iiven at the government house. Tbe levee, or drawing room announced to bo held in the evening at parliament louse was a failure, vory few being in attendance for presentation to their excillencies. Yesterday afternoon the re nnins of John Henry were found under tho Quebeo ruins. The body was doubled in two aud splinters of all sizes were stuck into his body, Tho shoulders were broken in and the lower part of the back was torn open and the kid* neys were hanging out. His wife's body was also found. They were but a few feot apaii She had in her hand pieces of a broken plate and a fork. She had died while preparing bor husband's supper. Old Joo Kemp, who was taken out of the wreck alive Tuesday morning, after 108 hours imprisonment under the debris is doing well. Somo ton or twelve bodies still remain undor the debris. The diary of the famous Baron Friedrich von der Trenck, cousin of the notorious Franz von der Trenck, which purports to bo written in his own blood whilo a prisoner at Magdenburg, is now offered for sale at Leipsic. The diary, inscribed on 200 pages of an interleaved Bible presented to Trenck in 1760 by the Princess Amalie, sister of Frederick the Groat, includes besides a number of poems and letters, various social, political, and philosophical treatises, and a history of the prisoner's adventurous life, which ended in 1790 on tho guillotine.

By-elections are eagerly watched by politicians tlso world ovor, aa they constitute a convenient and quietly safe nsssans of feeling tho publio pulso sss to its tesnper towards tbe administration of tho day in tlso interval betsvecis general elections. Both government and opposition .re equally interested in these occasional tests that the ordinary vicissitudes of human affairs necessitate, and each is wont to nsake capital out of the result, when the publio verdict will permit. Although certain circumstances may detract from the value of by-elections as accurate and trustworthy gauges of the general sentiment of the electorate toward the party in power, yet no ono attempts to ignore the fact that these events have their significance. Within the past six months three by-elections have been necessitated in this province, and the fact that men favorable to the present administration of provincial affairs have besn returned in overy instance— and by good majorities in two instances, at Victoria and Lillooet: in tbe case of Mr. Haslam, of Nana: mo, by acclamation—cannot but be accepted by the government as a gratifying indication that their general course and policy, at least, is approved by the country. A point ths.t might be noted respecting the three by-elections referred to. above is that the government neither lost nor gained by the result of those elections, as government members re* resented tho constituencies before. The fourth by-election of the year will take place in this city shortly. In this case the conditions are slightly different, tho late incumbent, Mr. Bole, having been the right bower, so to spoak, of the leader of the opposition.for the lost three years, and having been returned at that time by a very large majority ovor his opponent, a government man. For this reason the impending contest In Westminster will be u, jsiore than usually interesting one, 'How" it will go we shall not attempt nosv to predict; but, unless wo very much mistake publio sentiment in the oity, it will be found tbat the temper of the constituency hai changed in the direction of being much more favorable to the government than at the last general election. And . there nre not wanting reasons for this change. It will certainly be vory significant, to begin with, if no candidate is found to conse out as au avowed oppositionist on this occasion. Time will tell, but we do not believe that tbe opposition banner will be openly and fearlessly borne by any one inthe coming contest. ______^_________ Perhaps our readers might not have credited tho fact, if we had told them before, that The Columbian had quite a circulation and in- At-euce in the neighboring republic, in addition to its large city, provincial, Dominion, Imperial, and general foreign currency. But now we have evidence of the fact that cannot be. gainsaid. The rivalry be- twessn Kew York and Chicago as to whioh shall bo chosen as the site of the p/oposed great world's exposition is: 1892 has given us our opportunity, and wo are going to grasp it wjtls both feet, as it were. The gentlemanly heads of tho committee of ssxposiuon boomers for Chicago havis sssked us to "exercise our influence in behalf of Chicago as the site of the world's exposition of 189:!," and we aro going to do it— unless the Now York men satisfy us lhat they can and will build a bigf sr tosvor a la Eiffel than tho Ohis ago fellows, and, generally, givo raor 1 pressure to ihe sriuare inch. We admire, however, the heartiness and zeal with whioh our Chicago fries ds advance for the consideration of the journalistic fraternity a "few reasons" why thoir city should bo chosen as the site for the great fair, and will give our readers a sample of laudable Yankeo earnestness and •elf-appreciation, when striving after an object worthy of pursuit. After Sremising tbat "we do not desire to etmct from the claims of other leading cities," the Chicago enthusiasts and patriots trot out their "few reasons" as follows: "We havo all the essentials of an eligible location—an abundance of fresh air and pure water—space for exhibits [we ou beat that in Westminster]— and unsurpassed facilities for transportation. Our refrigerator—Lake Michigan—renders our climate, in the summer season, more comfortable than that of any other availablo oity, at oan be proven by the reports oi tbe weather bureau. This immense lake also furnishes us with an inexhaustible supply of water far superior in quality to that of any other oity In the world [never heard of the Coquitlam water works, one wonld imagine]. Combined with thete are our exceptional railroad facilities [just wait -till we get the Westminster Southern in addition to onr present "railroad facilities"], which would make tho exhibition aooestiblo alike to exhibitors and visitors (rom every quarter of the globe. * * * Our hotel accom modations, which are beiisg rapidly esslarged, uro amply sufficient to insure the comfort and convenience of visitors—having nosv the capacity to easily entertain 1*0,000 guests, to say nothing of the 6,000 boarding houses. The leading officials of the soveral telegraph companies acknosvledge that our telegraphio facilities are unequalled, as has been evidenced by tbe numerous tests which have resulted in this being proudly designated 'the convention city.' There can be an agricultural and live stock exhibit hero suoh as tbe world has never seen. Secretary of Agriculture Busk says: 'Chicago is the center of tlso greatest agricultural and stock raising region in tlso world. The people of all nations cau reudezs'ous hero moro cheaply, und from this point tho United States can snake a deeper impression upon tho svorld of its achievements and capabilities. Chicago wants the exposition, because her citizens will see to it that the thousands of foreigners coming aro isssprcsscd with the beauties, realize tlso svonderful resources aud com- prelsesssi tho amazing gs-owth of the svi'st, tho north-west, the south west, the south, the Pacific coast stales aud Canada. Wo would not bo con- tout to have them go away without visiting all our sister cities. We would have thom observe the possi- •bilities of the south, inhalotho ozone of tlso empiro state of Texas, and gaze on tho picturesque grandeur of California and the Yellowstone; we would not havo their rango of vision confined to Long Island, tho Brooklyn Bridge nnd Central Park [a sly dig at New York], but would have them inspect our mines, take them through our factories, over our farms, show them the stock, our fields, our implements, our granaries aisd our forests. Finally then, we ask you to aid us by arousing public sentiment in our favor, because the exposition, if held in the heart of America, svill enable foreigners to more fully appreciate our country after witnessing the evidences of its past and present rapid development, and the promises of coming greatness. The west and its tributaries, therefore, seek the support of the journalists of the country in behalf of Chicago, whoso citizens have tho magnanimity and publio spirit to advance the millions of dollars necessary to mako tho exposition a success." That's the way they do things in the ambitious nsotropotis of the west, and we might take a few pointers from their methods, as to entertainment of visitors particularly, in viow of our own provincial exposition. ' Wo wish our Chicago friends every succoss in the object for which they are so earnestly striving; but, owing to tho pressure upon our time and spnee of such important mutters as our own fall exhibitions, the Southern Bailway question, and the vacancy in tho local house—and how to fill it, svo sssust be excused from taking a s-ery active part in tho discussion as to the comparative merits of Chicago and New York for tbo site of the svorld's fair in 1892. Later on, when our own little affairs are settled, and the svalking becomes good, we may send a special commissioner oss snosv-shoes to look over the grounds and decide finally as to which of tho "hubs" across the line is best entitled to the honor of being the chosen site for the world's fair of 1892. lOPrfJXlll Miss Peebles WILL HOLD A BAZAAR and FANCY FAIR /ind, 3rd and 4th of October.

As much as 186,666,000 lb. of tea were consumed in Great Britain last year, and, paying a duty of Od. per lb., produced a revenue of £4,613,- 000. The average per head was very little short of 6 lb. New Zealand has an average per head per annum of nearly 7J lb., and Australia of 7/} lb.

The total number of gold pieces struck was 62,163,700, as against 43,366,- 043 in 1887, and their value, real or nominal, £3,393,624. The total number of gold pieces of the Ins- periol coinage was 28,866,162, and their value £3,070,053.' If the Globe wishes to attack the Imperial Federationists, it might do to on their avowed policy and hot on an incorrect version whioh it ascribes to them. Whore is the fairness or sense of describing them as wishing "that the colonics would consent to relinquish some portion of their independence," when ono of the original and primary artioles of their constitution is "that no scheme of federoration should interfere with the existing rights of local parliaments as regards local affairs"! Tho iuturo of Canada and of the empire should bo discussed, if at all, by means of fair and honest argument, not by such Billy misrepresentations of tho position taken by others,— Empire.

[ )•>-iirkubta Exploits of nn Inmate of London's Zoological Gar-ton, 'N.*'.' nre prints an interesting paper read Er.'i-atho Zoological Society of London by ni (-ieoi'Bo Roinanca, P. ll, B.,and from hho lullnwinp* extracts uro liitule- ' 'Tha tomato chimpanzee which haa now en in tlie society's monagerio for Bis Ws has attracted general notice, not only 1 iUTiuiiit of her peculiar zoological charac- p, but perhaps still more on account of r high intelligence. This is conspicuous- , displayed by the remarkable degree £ wliich she is able to understand the naulnff of spoken language—a degree 1 licit is fully equal to that presented by an Want a few mouths before emerging from ■ fancy- and therefore higher than that resented by another brute, so far, at least, \ I havo met with any evidence to ahow. irthclosB, tho only attempts that she ukes by wuy of vocal responses are three " i* grunting noises—one indicative of sent or affirmation, another {very closely •.■imbling the first) of dissent or negation, <1 lho third (quite different from the other 1'■«) ■ f thanks or recognition of favors. In Hposition sho is somewhat capricious, ■juffh on tho wholo good-humored, fond of i- b-epars, and apparently never tired of ilt.dof bantering play which, off and on, • y keep up with her continually. '■A it'itr or two ago it occurred to mo that -".I ight try somo psychological experiments - i lio intelligence of this animal. Tho i'i. instances In which Bho Is placed, how- •■r, aid not prove favorable for any thing :o fij-stom-itie Instruction. Being constant- J exposed -Ui tho gaze of a numbor of poo* f o {-imiiiig and going and having her atten- nt easily distracted by thom, the ape was hiellcaliy availablo for purposes of tuition [-.ly during tho oarly hours of tho morning, [;f ore the monagerio Is opened to the pub* 1*. and, as a rule, I did not find it con* rairnt to attend at that time Therefore -■* results which I am about to describe do fit, in my opinion, represent what might (il'Jy havo boen expected undor moro .vorablo conditions; if the chimpanzee >r.M have been kopt as a domestic pot for ■ few months (as I kept tho Cebus kindly I, mo for tho purposes of psychological .•nation by this society) thore can bo Juubt that many much moro interesting Rl *..iits might have beon obtained. Nevcr- ii'lesB, it appeara to me tbat even thoso lilch have thus far been obtained an i Ti hy of being placed on record. "Having enlisted tbe intelligent co-opera- on nt the keepers, I requested thom to ask ie apo repeatedly for one straw, two i i-,iv,-9 cr three straws. Theso she waa to Idle up and hand out from among the litter i her cago. No constant order was to bo [■.served in making these requests, but, honevor bIio handed a number not asked w hm* offer was refused, while, If Bhe gavo .if proper number her offer was accepted, md sho received a piece of fruit as pay- Hint. In tbls way the ape was eventually ■.light to associate these three numbers itli their mimes. Lastly, if two straws or tree straws were demanded, she waa lUglib to hold ono straw or two straws in -t mouth until sbe had ploked up tbo re* ' ilng straw, nnd thon to hand tho two raws or throo Btrawa together. This pre- ii'it! any possiblo error arising from hor jcrprctaUou of vocal tones—an error ii -h might well havo arisen if each straw ii liccu asked for separately. ■Aa aoon as tlio animal understood what ■aa required and had learned to associate .icno throe numbers with tholr names, sho ever Tailed to givo tho number of straws sked for. Her education was thon ox- rmdcd in a similar manner from threo to [)ur and from four to five. Hore, for rea- ons to be presently stated, I allowed hor (mention to terminate. But moro re- ently one of tho keepers has endeavored to dvauce her instruction as far aa ton. Tho csmlt, howover, is what might havo been intieipated. Although she very rarely aakea any mistake in handing out one, two, tree, four or five straws, according to tho utmbcr asked for, nud although Bho ia Isunlly accurate iu handing out aB mnny as •Jx ov seven, whon tho numbers eight, nine i* ten aro named, tho result becomes more .nd moro uncertain, bo as to bo suggestive if guesswork. It Ib evident, however, that be understands the wofds seven, eight, .Ino and ten to botokon numbers higher [.linn those below them i for if she fs asked .'or any of these numbers (l. c, abovo six) die :il ways gives some number tbat ia abovo •Ax nnd not more than ton; but there is no kick constant accuracy displaced in handing out the exact nunibcr'naraetTa's is tlio jaso below six. On the whole, then, while Ihero 1b no doubt that this animal can accurately compute any numbor of Btrnwa up [to five, beyond flvo tho accuracy of her computation becomes progressively diminished. "It is not necessary— indeed it would bo unreasonable—to suppose that in tills 'process of 'counting' the ape employs uny aystom of notation. Wo know from our own experience that there Is counting and counting, i. c, distinguishing between low numbers by directly appreciating tho difference between two quantities of sensuous perception and distinguishing between numbers of any 'amount by marking each perception with a lecpurato sign. Tho extent to which tho rornioi- kind of computation can bo carried in tho cuso of man has been made tbo aubject of a caroful research by Prof. Proycr, ofjciio. His experiments consisted iu as- .ccrlalnlngtbo number of objects (such a*, dots on it piece of paper) which admit of being simultaneously estimated with accuracy, nnd it wub found that the numbor ndmita of boing largely increased by prac- 1 (ice until, in the caso of some persons, it may rise to more tban twenty. But of courso In tho caso of a brute It is not to bo ■oxpeeted that auch a high degroo of pro- Ucleucy oven in this non-notativo kind of '(.minting' should bo attainable. The utmost tlmt could horo bo expected Ib tbat a bi-uic uhould exhibit somo euch level of abillfyaa is presented by a young child, or hy l host! savages whoso powera of nccurato t ■. ii; i: iiiuiion do not appear to extend further than numbers which wo write as units. It was in viow of such considerations that I did nut attempt to carry tho education of this upo beyond tbe number flvo, ond the result which haa attained subsequent endeavors to teach her numbers aa high aa ton is, as previously remarked, exactly what might have been anticipated. It may Uoro ho added that In the only records with vvlibli t mn acquainted of animals exhibit- Ing ituy powers of numerical computation thoao powers have not extended beyond tho number flvo."

Hryan O'Lynn had no boots for to wear, So he came to Westminster to buy him a pair. " I'll have one pair of thick ones and one pair of thin, If I can find J. Rousseau's," says Bryan O'Lynn. He hunted the stores all along the main route, Says he, "The right one I've not yet found out. I want J. Rousseau—I'll buy only from him, For he sells the cheapest," says Bryan O'Lynn. He stepped a little west of McKenzie street, • He met Rousseau's sign—sure it was a great treat; He lifted the latch, and Jim stood within. " I've found It at last," says Bryan O'Lynn. We showed him both Calf Boots, Kip and Cowh'de, The ones we praise mostly, without seams at the side. We have Boots of all kinds, from Quebec and Berlin; 11 Sure you have hoots for the million," says Bryan O'Lynn. He bought him his boots, which of course were no trash, He paid down the money, for we sell only for cash; To the public he says, "Be not taken in, Hut buy from J. Rousseau," says Bryan O'Lynn. " If there is a leak in the toe or side of your shoe, Just take it to Rousseau, that's all you need do; He will peg it or patch it just while you are in, And the charge seems like nothing," says Bryan O'Lynn. t-T Highest Fries) paid for Furs and Peer Hides.

A drivo round Stanley Park, and an excursion on the Inlet, will form part of the entertainment prior to tho departure of the distinguished visitors for Viotoria on Tuesday. It is proposed also to telegraph to Admiral Hencage, asking him to permit the flagship to be in the harbor hero during the governor-general's visit. Au oflbrt will also bo made to have a torchlight procession on the harbor. Ki'lnciiig Thi''n In Time. There is trouble among tho celestials to-day, Chief Pen roo dropped around in a casual way and informed tho lyhoe superintending-the erection of tho extensive lodging-house, opposite Wintemute'a factory ou Columbia street, that bo would have to comply with tlio city's rules aud regulations by making the windows in tho building at least two foefj square. Tho building is nearly finished externally, and has ou each side u row of windows about 14\12 inches each, and moro resembling pigeon holes than anything elso. This will all hare to bo altered, and tho Chinamen havo been (damping up and down in n terrible stato all day. The rooms aro also too small, tho 380 cubic feet of space boing by no means adhered to. This will also have to suffer heavy changes, lt would be cheaper for the builders to tear the whnlo building down and build it anew. The place i=t anything but 1111 ornament to tho city, and surprise is being expressed tbat the authorities should havo allowed such it shack to be erected in tho heart of the city. REPORTS. Tho chairman and Aid. Cunningham Baid thnt everything was progressing favorably with lho reception committee. The printing committee had nothing further to report. Mr. Whyto said it might be advisable to issue nn official programme on Monday morning, so that visitors ahould not bo led astray by the large bills, and say that we had things on the programme wo didn't carry out. Tho secretary said that ho had seen about this matter, nnd tho programme would bo issued Monday morning. Tho procession committ-m had nothing to report. Mr. James said ho thought thut everything promised satisfactorily towards getting horsos nud wagons for tho procession, and there would be plenty uf accommodation in thnt direction. Mr. Ross said that tbu Royal City Planing Milla would take no part in the procession, Tho exhibit tbey had at the exhibition building wai the only recognition uf the celebration tbey would mako. Tho chairman said that he bad seen Mr. Beoohor about this and had reasoned and argued with him in vain; they would take no part iu it. He was vory sorry to see ono of our principal institutions taking such a stand. A sentiment of surpriso and s rrow at tho action of tho R, 0. P. M, was expressed by nearly all present. Tho proceBDion will form -at tho Crescent and not at tho Royal City Planing Mills as originally intended. The boat in? and sailing committee reported through Wm. Johnson, chairman, that everything was being carried out to thu letter, und good progress mado. He urgod the advisability of having two races with substantial prizes for tlie mcn-of*warsmen from the two warships, lt is the best race we can get hero, aud there will be lots of fun in it. Moved by Aid. Cunningham, seconded by Mr. G. W. Grant, that §50 be granted the boating nnd sailing committeo for this purpose. Carried. Mr, Frasor reported that ho had been around collecting subscriptions and had found it a very difficult matter; aud he was doubtful how thoy wero going to get that 81000 they wore couuting on. Mr. Whyto said tho money granted tho sports committeo ought to cover all expenses pretty woll, but, still it was hard ta calculate, as there wero always littlo unforseen accounts cropping up. Mr. Frasor said it was not merely tho question of this §50, but a much larger sum tbey had to reckon about, they had only §300 or §400 to go on now, and $4,700 was necessary, Mr. Johnson said Lho best mark of respect they could show tbe ships for coming here, was ti give thom a race, they could economize in somo other direction, but tbey must not omit this. The chairman concurred iu this view I and sai 1 thoy would havo to get this money somehow, "by hook or by crook." Mr, Johnson suid thero wuuld be 4 or 5 boats from Victorin and tho snrno number from Vancouver, which ought to satisfy Kew Westminster. Mr. J. C. Whyto reported for the sports committee and said that the bii.su ball match wuuld be held on Thursday only, as tho other days woro too crowded with events. Tho Victorians bad backed out of tho foot ball, but Vancouvor had como to tbo rescue. The Victorians had done the sumo on tho lacrosse.

On motion, Aid. lteid was appointed chairman of the evening, iu tho absence of tho mayor. After tha rending of the minutes of tho kst meeting, which was adopted, thu following communications wore disposed of: From two Masonic lodges in Vancouvor, acknowledging and accepting invitations to attend tho celebration. One of l.hope, tho Cascade lodge, said they would do all in thoir power to aid iu making tho procession n aucoosh. ["Received and filed. From Hhentl' Armstrong, declining to act upon the reception committee, but saying that, as a private citizen, lie would do nil that he could to further tho celebration. Received and tiled. The chairman remarked that it was to be regretted that Sheriff Armstrong should havo beeu overlooked so long on tho invit.it.ions, and lio wasi sorry tho thing had happened. Mr. J, C. Whyto hinted that tho gentleman in question might havo enough public spirit to overlook such tt trifling mutter, Aid. Cunningham mud n grui-t many other prominent mon hod, in tho multifarious details of the work, been oyerlookod, nnd no intimation of their dtspiensuro had yot arrived. Thero was not tho faintest intention to slight Mr. Armstrong. From D, Robson, oity clerk, Inti* same money that *'C" Battery baud, a much bettor organisation, with more pieces, wanted. Tho city band hud said $75 a day end not a cent less. Some severe reflections outhis unpatriotic conduct were passed. Aid. Roid said ho could not think of paying these men, when everybody else was straining overy nerve to make the exhibition a success. Aid. Cunningham said the grand statid was being built on a good, solid foundation, and would boa great succoss. Mr. Raymond reported for the horso races, und fished that a number buard bo placed at tho judges stand. Mr. Grant said this would bo done, Quito a number of good horses would compete. Mr. Grant reported for tbo decora tion committeo and said Mr. Moresby had kindly offered every assistance in the work. Everyone was very willing to lend a hand when needed, and tho decorations would undoubtedly bo a success. The lire works committeo had no representative present, but it is understood thut everything is going on ; well. Everything is going smoothly with tlio bose reel race committeo. Mr. li'i-.-; for the billeting committee reported that blankets wero hard to find; canvas settle beds would bo largely used, and about a hundred of tbeso could be placed in the drill shed. Thu Indian committee had waited •.ii Mr. MoTiernan, and ho had in* formed them that thero might ba two bands present, but ho did not want to get the blame for tilling tbo Si- washes away front their woi-l*. In all probability thoro will lm good turn out of Indians. Tho chnirmun reported tbat Mr. Ellard would run an information bureau in tlie city hall for the uso of visitors. Tho gangs of mon employed on the pnrk and strcuts will probably bu mado into special constables to kcop tbo course and look nfter tho building, pick-pocket*, toughs nnd other natural history. Mr. O. W.Grant asked if tho invitation committeo had dono anything towards inviting the provincial press. The secretary said ho thought Mr. Robson had beon looking after that, but was of tho opinion that they had been invited. Hu had seen nn invitation in ono of thu newspaper ofllces in tho city, addressed to tho editor, and lie supposud that would tako in the small fry, t. 0. tho reporters. This Mined pleasantry fell flatter than it deserved, as it was really a good joko. Mr. Johnson advocated tho thorough advertising of next meeting, as did nlso tho chairman, nnd tho matter bo* ing relegated to the care of tho secretary, tho mooting adjourned until Saturday evening at 8 o'clock.
