Tlie Tacoma Ledger nays recently: The imperial government was questioned by a member of the British parliament re- ce:.li/ as to its ultitudo in reference to * commercial union between the dominion of Canada nnd tho United States, and Mr. Smith replied in a non-committal manner. The imperial government is not likely to do anything to precipitate a change in tho relations of the colonies with other nations, but the world moves, and this and other questions will have to be decided one day in the course of events that are bound to give the United States control of the entire northern portion of the American continent. An exchange has a long paragraph headed "Gen. Harrison's mail bag," from whioh we learn that the fool-killer will have lots of fun next time he takes a trip through Uncle Sam's 1 dominions. Everyone with an ounce of sense ought to know that tho really important correspondence of a man in the position of president-elect, must be quite sufficient to tax the energies of anyone, yot it appears that overy jaokass in the union who owns a new baby of the masculine persuasion, promptly christens it "Benjamin Harrison," and as promptly dispatches a.lotter to Iho now Chief Magistrate informing of the "important" fact I Add to these, the letters of the people who want offices, and you have a total, which is. only less astounding than the fact that every man Jaok of them— proud fathers and hungry claimants—expects a prompt reply, and will be mortally insulted if lie docs not get it 1 An exchange who has "been there" chuckles audibly in this fashion : The man this will tell you about i* a short, thick-set individual wearing whiskers, tnd having the general appearance of a peddler who had just come into an inheritance. He walked into the office with a careful, measured walk, as if the printing office smell was going to contaminate liim. He wanted to stop bis paper. As he uttered word to that effect he looked majestically at the business manager, and waited for that gentleman to ask him to consider ere he took this disastrous step. He looked longingly into tlie faces of the various memben of the staff to see them drop dead on the floor or become hysterical. But no. The managing editor was deeply perusing an article entitled "Joys of Journalism," The reporters' pencils glided on swiftly over the paper; the type clicked regurlarly in the composition "sticks;" the bookkeeper was adding up a column of figures six in a row; the engine in the basement kept on running. "There's just two dollars due on your account," said the b, m,, not a muscle of his face moving. The short, thicc-set man now is compelled to buy the paper of the ragged newsboy on the corner, who needs the money as badly as the publisher. LIGHTNING LINERS The Orient S. S. Co. Offers to Build Three Vessels to Carry the Mails from Halifax in 5 Bays. O'Connor wants to Bow Gaudaur for the Championship before "going to Australia. A Quebec Schooner Supposed Lost with Crew and 40 Souls.—Tlio Pope and Canadians. The World may take some comfort out of the following ohoioe bit of casuistry from tho Globe: Tho Montreal Post raises a rather interesting question of ethics when it says that a journalist who was willing to use his pen for or against a cause would be called mercenary, while a lawyer, of course, is limited by some bounds. He must not advocate any cause which is manifestly founded >)** fraud; he must not misstate the hwt> or tlie law, He may, however, without incurring discredit, plead the cause of a man wbo is relying on a law which is grossly unjust and oppressive. In the majority of eases he is willing to take the side of the party who consults him first; so that tho con- duet of A may in a certain case win his approbation or his honest wrath, according to whether A or B happens to engage him. Now supposing n journalist to be bound by the same rules as tho lawyer; that he must not advocate a cause which is positively disgraceful; that he must not mistate facts or the arguments of an antagonist; it would seem as if, within thoso liunits, he is just as well justified in taking up either side of a case for hire ns the lawyer is, and may shift his advocacy from ono party to the other without dishonor. This, of course, assumes the lawyer's code to be founded on right, In his Vkortablk Fills, Dr. Panne. Ice has given to the world tho frnits of long soTentiOc research in the whole realm of medical science, combined with new and valuable discoveries never before known to man. For Delicate and Debilitated Constitutions PurmcWs Pills act liko a charm. Taken in small doses, tho effect is both a tonic and a stimulant, mildly exciting the secretions of tho body, giving tone and vigor. WANTS TO HOW (1AUDAUB.

Bkockville, Ont., Nov. 21.—One of those Enoch Arden-Hke huppeniii'-B that occur seldom uutuide uf stoiy books is the talk of BrooUvlllo to day. Just about the time uf the United States civil war James Shannon was married to a Miss Laughlin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Laughlin, of this town. The parents had beon opposed to the match, and assisted tbe couple in nothing except when Shannon in despair expressed an intention of enlisting iu the Northern army. The yuung wife, not yet emerged from loverhood and with a prospective motherhood, wai thus left to face all tho horrors that come to those with a lover-husband in a fighting army. Months rolled on after Iii* "departure and lengthened into yean, and nothing was heard from him, and the young wife finally concluded that ahe was a widow. She then with her parents moved to Toronto, and after living there for a time wont to Cleveland, Ohio, where, in compliance with her parents' desires, she married a Mr. J, G, Wilson, a prominent citizen of that city, where both now live. Her parents have since died. To-day, James Shannon, after being for 25 years thought to have been either killed in battle or to have died in a southern prison, camo back hero to look fur his wife, to make a home for whom he had all that timo been struggling, to learn from an old settler who had known both husband and wife the story above related. He was much affected by the story and cried like a child. He had written to his wifo in the early years of his struggle, but, getting no reply, determined to be dead to the world till he had won fortune and a home. He has now both in Minnesota. He expresses his in tention of going to Cleveland, and if his wife is happy -with her new husband he will not reveal himself. If she be unhappy, or if her secondary husband ahould die, ho will give her a happy home. Ho ia to all appearances a man with many years of vigorous life still ahead of him, THE SLAVE TRADE, London, Nov. 21.—A despatch from Zanzibar Bays the British consular authorities have issued a proclamation in regard to the slave trade, in which they warn British subjects of tho penalties which they vill incur in making con* tracts.

They were accompanied by three male members of the mission, The rest of t'i> missionaries remain at Mngila with the bishop. The sultan Is III and has not yet announced tha blockade of the coast.

Merchants have absolutely refused to reinstate themselves on the coast. An English mission steamer was fired on yesterday at Saadua.

Nov. 29, 18*8. Wo are glad to publish tho explanation elsewhere, communicated by Mr. R. F. Anderson, 0. P. R. agent at this city, with respect to an item that appeared in this paper recently to the offect that a passenger by tho O. P. R. from Golden, B. 0., could not procure a tickot for this city. Wo have recoived and published quito a number of similar complaints in tho past, which were never contradicted; but this explanation is satisfactory, both with regard to the particular case oiteol, and as an indication of the spirit and intentions of iho 0. P. R. towards this city in the future. At least such is the inference we draw, ond we trust it may bo justified. In another column will bo found a communication from Senator Mclnnes, contradicting the absurd press despatch from Ottawa, to the effect that the Senator was the authority for certain imaginary and ridionlous statements concerning leprosy among tbe Chinese and Indians in this province. Regarding the lack of foundation for the story itself, and for Senator Mclnnes' connection with it, it will not be necessary for us to add anything to the conclusive denial ef the Senator,': letter. Being a physician himself, and having made the subject of the sanitary condition of the Chinese and Indians one of olose observation for years, Senator Mclnnes is qualified to express an opinion, but he is not responsible for tho rot in the Ottawa despatch published yesterday, which came to us over American wires, and, as is not unfrcqucntly the case with Canadian news sifted through American mediums, was either a fiction or a melancholy distortion of fact. With respect to Senator Mclnnes' question why we had not taken the trouble to interview him yesterday, as well as Mr. MoTiernan, Indian agent, on the subject, we would say that a representative of The Columbian met Mr, McTieman incidentally, and that, owing to the despatch reaching this office at a late hour yesterday, there was no time for seeking an interriew for publication last evening. In discussing the diphtheria cases in the counoil meeting the other night, tho question of pest quarters came up. Alderman DeBeck recommended that the pest house be repaired. We suppose reference was made to a tumble-down shanty or shed structure in the vieinity of the old rifle range, baok of town, that was used about ten yeara ago for small-pox patients, when there were a few oases in this oity, since which time there lias been no use for it nnd it has become a habitation for bats and owls, figuratively speaking, if not literally. The pest house in question never was fit for the purpose (the cases, as a rule, consigned to its walls terminated unfavorably), and the only repairing that would be of any service would be an entire rebuilding. Happily, owing to our salubrious climate and healthy surroundings, we have very little use for a pest house as one of the adjuncts of this city; but when it is considered that, with our increasing traffic and population, contagious diseases are occasionally liable to be imported, the establishment of proper pest quarters, whioh ■hall at any time be fit to receive patients suffering from an infectious and dangerous disease, is a measure of common prudence and humanity. But before any expenditure is undertaken by the council, we would suggest for their consideration an idea, which has beon mooted before, to the effect that a proper and permanent pest house should be estab lished somewhere on the reserve at the head of Lulu Island, just below the eity, The arguments in faror of luch a course are almost obvious.. The present site of the pest house is rapidly being encroaohed on by the new residences that are going up on all aides, and in a year or twOfprobably, residences will occupy the lite itaelf. On the other hand, a peit house on the island we have mentioned would be effectually and permanently isolated, and in all respects would be just the place for •uoh an institution. We would add * recommendation, that a pest home ahould be built, even at extra cost, with some regard to the comfort and safety of the unfortunate human creatures who might in future bs forced to occupy it. recent naval manoeuvres-tho revulsion of feeling is so strong that tho entire system of warship construction is likely to undergo a change. In the face of the attempts made during the recent British naval manaiuvrcs to weaken the torpedo boat attack from the shore, its efficacy appeared so clearly, the vulnerability of the big ships was so evident, that no further attempts at concealment will avail, and the highest authorities are admitting the necessity for torpedo boats in harbor defence. One military journal declares that half a dozen torpedo boats would avail far moro in offshore work than the big belted ship which costs as much as a dozen of them. Another says that Admirals Rowley and Baird could not blockade a hostile feot in a British port, though heavier than it, because of the torpedo boat annoyance The enemy, knowing the timo ho would try to escape, could husband his coals, in some cases not oven keep, ing his fires banked, while outside it was necessary to keep steam up against sudden attempts to run the blockade and to avoid the continual machinations of the torpedo boats. Thero aro others, some of thorn well known for knowledge of naval warfare, who have gono even further; one portion of them taking tho ground that a torpedo fleet, for slioro defense, would prove as effective as a line of battle ships, thus permitting the despatch of tho big boats to the channel and other uncovered points, whilo tho other portion openly declare that a torpedo fleet should be constructed and maintained for harbor defense because it is likely to be more effective, to say nothing of cheapness, than great armor dads could be. In a recent paper by Sir George Badon-Powoll, M, P., on "Mosquito Defence," ho points out, though tardily it must be said, the necessity for a torpedo fleet, and shows how valuable an aid the steam yacht fleet oould be made in protecting the coasts from a hostile fleet. The author describes, as others have done, the awkwardness of the big ships, how slow they were in turning, the enormous appetites they had for coals, their liability, not only to exhaust the supplies in the bunkers, but to exhaust them suddenly. Ho noticed,os others others did, the ease with which the quickheolcd torpedoboats approached and maneuvered about these Titanic monsters, when tlio night was dark or the weather thick; circling them, dodging in between them, and he might have declared, and reasonably too, that the mero fact they wore thus able to approach, though, because engaged in peaceful manicu- vering not permitted to strike, was good evidence of their effectiveness. For it is admitted that advancing torpedo boats can be protected from the fire of machine guns, and, of course, nothing heavier can be handled quickly enough for use against them. The True Philosophy of Medica- tion is not to dose for symptoms but to root ont the disease. Northrop k Lyman's Vegetable Discovery nnd Dyspeptic Cure, the Great Blood Purifier, has proved itself equal to this task. It ia moat searching, without being a violent remedy for constipation, Biliousness and Indigestion. It is as well adapted to the needs and physical temperaments of delicate females as to the more robust sox, and is a fino preventative of diseaso as welt as remedy for it. . . .

If 1 were I wouldn't get along iu the bualnrss, ami at tke same time I wouldn't be any good If 1 didn't know most of them.

In the biggest hotels tho job generally falls to the hotel detective, but If It'a one of the entailer ones there wou't be nny deteotlve, and the clerk very often can't get away. So he sends for me.

All preparations ure finished for tho annual dinner of the St. Andrews and Caledonian society. A largo number of tickets have been sold and a right jolly time may bo expected. It is said Sir. John Ross, commander of the British forces in Canada, who is about to visit British Columbia, will be invited by thu Board of Trade to visit Westminister in tho interests of the fortifications necessary for the defence of the Fraser River. Mr, A, M. Nelson wishes us to contradict the statement which has been circulated round town to the effect that tho McLennan ehildron (who were removed from the Cleveland Hotel to Mr. Nelson's house) nre down with diphtheria, Mr. Nelson says the children are as well and healthy as nny one could desire. A correspondent calls attention to the quantities of lumber and debris allowed to remain on somo of the streets in front of new building whioh have for some time been completed, and wonders why the counoil does not order the obstructions removed. This correspondent undoubtedly voices tho sentiment of many citizens. The attention of members of the New Westminster rifles is called to Capt. Scoullar's order that all rifles, accoutrements and clothing must be returned into stores forthwith, for inspection. Lt.-Cnl. Holmes will arrive iu tho city on Tuesday to make the inspection and it is absolutely necessnry that all clothing etc, must be in stores before that date. A ger.tlemnn wns standing in front of tho oflice of Major & Pearson yesterday gazing at t ho big carrots exhibited there, when a wag approached him and ohsorved that ho ought to turn his face tho other way. Whon tbe unsuspecting stranger asked why, he was told that it wasn't the proper thing to put the enr't before the horse! It is believed thnt with careful treatment tho man may survive. The nautical editor of the Colonist in describing the collision between tbo str. Northern Paottto nud tho ship Columbia says:-"The Northern Pacifio struck tho Columbia on the starboard bow, n littlo abaft tho stern." If the Columbia had her stern on the starboard bow it served her right to have her promenade deck on the port side carried away. Taken altogether the accident, as portrayed by the Colo* nisi, was one of the most remarkable ever heard of in nautical life. Leo Coy, the well-known Chinese merchant, entertained a large number of the Lee Clau at a grand dinner at! his residence on Front st. last night. The occasion was the first and lost appearance of his lately acquired wife to Ms friends, a formality which is usual- Sr observed with great eclat by tho hinese. The dinner, which was nn expensive affair, was a deoided success In every way aud Lee Coy received many compliments on the happy selection he had mado in choosing a wife. Tlie nipt-tkrrU Cases, Dr. DeWolf Smith, health officer, in charge of the diphtheria cases in the Cleveland hotel, informs us that there has been no deaths since last accounts, but that the patient now down with the disease, a child of about five years, standi a poor chance of recovering. -The other children, three in ber, are kept in a generate room, and, the dootor thinks, will not take the deseose. The family, it is known, haya but recently arrived in the pro. riiice, and Dr. Smith states that the children generally appear to be in a low and sickly condition. Orion Catlih, 49 Pearl Street, Buffalo, tf. Y,, says: "I tried various remedies for the piles, but found no relief until I ised Dr. Thomas' Eeleotric Oil, which mtirely cured mo after a few applica- iota. Since Dr. Thomas' Kolectrio OU nu become celebrated, unprincipled per* ons are Imitating it. Oot the genuine, Referring to the large carrots grown by Mr. Jno. Oliver at Mud Bay we stated yesterday that tho crop averag- ged ovor 20 tons to tho acre. This -yield, we said, was enormous; and ho it is, but it dosen't seem to be enormous for British Columbia. Mr. J. G. Smith, whoso statemont no ono will presume to question or discount, informs us that on Lulu Island he obtained 5 tons of red carrots from less than one-tenth of an acre. This would be at the rate of over 60 tons per acre. — — » ■»- ■ Fool-Uull Natch. Messrs. Lister and McMartin have chosen teams to play a foot-ball match on Saturday afternoon.

It is to bo hoped every man will be on the field, as these practice matches aro of tho utmost importance to the olub. Should tho weather bo fine a good match may expected. Struck a Beef. A dosjtatch from Port Townsend says: Captain Hunter, uf tlie steamer Idaho, which arrived from Alaska this morning, reports that ou Saturday last, while tho steamer was going into Klawak, and when near tho entrance to Queen Charlotte Sound, a heavy gale sprang up. Every effort was made to get to a place of safety, but before this was accomplished the gale had increased to such forco that tbe steamer became unmanageable. Sail wns mnde on the vessel, but the force of the gale blow them away. Tho steamer at length was blown on a reef, where Bhe struck heavily twice and was badly strained. It was found necessary to cut away the mainmast, which eased her considerably, and then Bhe was carried over the reef by the force of the sea. The Idaho will have to be repaired before going back. A diver has been sent for, who will make an inspection of tho vessel's bottom and ascertain tlio damage. — ««■ ■ Dealb of Mrs. Isaac John*. It is with tho deepest regret that we learn of the demise this morning at 8:30 o'olock, of paralysis of the bruin, of Mrs, Isabella Johns (nee McGregor), wife of Isaac Johns, deputy collector of inland revenue at this port. Mrs. Johns had beon on the sick list for the last two weeks, but was uot thought to bo in any immediate danger She was being attended by Doctors McGuigan and Langis, who did everything in their power to alleviate hor suffering. She was but 37 years of ago, and was an aunt to Mrs. Cold woll, wife of Aid. Cold well, of this city, and had been for many years a resident of this city and locality. Her relatives reside at Nunaimo, to which place a telegram has been sent informing them of the sad event, with n view to arrangements for tho funeral. The deceased lady was beloved by all who knew her, and the smcerest sympathy is extended from all quarters to Mr. Johns and other members of his family in tho sad affliction thoy have sustained. It is learned later that the funeral of Mrs. Johns will take place on Friday next ut 2 o'clock, starting from the St. James' church. The Ancient Order of United Workmen will attend the funeral in a body.—Vancouver World, Attempted Highway Bobbery* A few minutes beforo 12 o'clock lost night while Mr, F. Crake was proceeding up Mary street on his way home, he noticed a man standing on the other side of the street. When Mr, Crake was near the corner of Clarkson st. the man crossed over nnd on drawing near raised a club and said "Here." Mr. Crake usually having valuables en his person carries a revolver, and this he instantly drew at the same time telling the man he would shoot him dead if he did not lower the club. The club was lowered and the man attempted to make off, but Mr, Crake would not let him go and demanded an explanation of his conduct. Montonee, which turns out to be his name, said he had been told by a man named Hogan, of tho Telegraph hotel, to tako a club and watch for a half- breed who had threatened his (Mon* toneo'a) life. He mistook Mr. Crake for this man, and that was how the affair happened. Not being satisfied with this explanation Mr. Crake put tho man under arrest and took him down town, but not being able to find a policeman let him go. Montonee was arrested this morning and wu sentenced by Oapt. Pittoudreigh to six months in gaol with hard labor. Mr. Crake deserves credit for the pluck ho exhibited. *l<*l.M<feo.W«odfbrd.

A fireat Bock Slide Near Vale kills Two Men an* tarries 8* Peel or a Bridge Away. At 11 o'clock this morning a groat rock slide occurred at a point on tho C. P. R. known as Sailor Bar Bluff, eight miles east of Yale, carrying away 80 feot of the bridge and killing two men and injuring several others. The men were at work when the slide occurred, and so sudden ond unexpected was it that they had no time to escape. The news did not reach Vancouver until after the departure of the Atlantic Express end orders wore sent to tho Junction to hold the train until a special engine with a medical gentleman on bn.rd arrived. Further particulars of the accident convinced O. P. R, officials that it would bo impossible to got a train through to-day, so orders wero forwarded to the Junction for tho express to return to Vancouver. A special train with medical assistance and a largo number of bridge repairers and laborers, has been sent forward. It is probable truffle will be interrupted for a couple of days, Tho slide was caused by heavy ruins washing away the earth from tho base af the rocks, Tho names of the killed and wounded could not bo ascertained. LATE CANADIAN NEWS. Police Coun. Before P. McTieman, W. D. Ferris, and Capt. Plttendrlgh, J.P.N Edward Montanee, charged with assaulting F. Crake with a club with intent to commit felony, pleaded not guilty. F. Crake, sworn, said: I was going up Mary street lost night on my road home; when I got near tho end of Harvey's house I saw some ono standing on the opposite Bide of tho street; I went a few steps further und the man moved across towards me; when within a yard of mo he raised a club over hia shoulder and Baid "Here1'; I pointed a revolver at him and said if he did not lowor the club I would shoot him dead; the club was a piece of split cordwood H inches thick and 2£ inches wide; I mado him come on the sidewalk and asked him why he had raised the stick; I lot him go without arresting bim; I could not find a constable and was forced to let him go; this was about midnight; Unformed tho polico. Mr. Moresby testified that Montonee had been in gaol several times, generally for supplying liquor to Indians. Sentenced to 6 months in goal with hard labor. When the case of John H. Bosustow, charged with threatening the life of his son, was called, Mr. Moresby asked for nn adjournment of 8 days. Mr. Jonns objected on the grounds that no reasonable excuse could bo given for an ndjouramont, Mr. Moresby said he wanted to bring forward certain witnesses and would not be ablo to do so for a day or tno. Mr. Jonns contended that the offence being indictable no witnesses could bo brought forward for the defence. Mr. Moresby said it .was quito evident Mr. Jenns wantod this case heard and disposed of before tho orignal charge againat Cooper was brought before the court, and contended that the ends of justice would be defeated if the case was heard immediately. At the request of Mr. Woods, for Cor- bould and McColl, the Cooper case had been remanded for a week and he had a right to demand the same trentment Mr. Jbims argued that the cases were entirely different and should not bo viewed from the same standpoint. The m<.filtrates after taking .the arguments into consideration adjourned the caso till Monday. Communifstimw. Conld, Wood, or Should.

Editor Columbian.—Anent the following despatch which appeared In yesterday's Columbian: horrible mortality promised. Ottawa, Nov. 23.—Word has been received that tbe Chinese lepers In B.O. havo communlontcd tho horrible malady to Indians. Senator Mclnnes, from British Columbia, states that out of the total Indian population, which he place-- nt 40,- 000, he believes there will notho 15,009 living In a quarter of ft century as tlie result of leprosy. Any person who has lived In this oountry for any considerable length of time, and possessed of ordinary intelligence, must Know that the abovo dispatch is an unqualified and unblushing falsehood, I disclaim having over written or spoken anything here or elsewhere that would warrant any such construction, ahd cannot understand why you did not take the samo trouble to see mo about it, tu you did Mr. MoTiernan, and ascertained first whether I bad anything to do with the dispatch, directly or indirectly, beforo publishing It, especially as such a rumor abroad may have a very injurious effect on the future of the province. Several years ago—when the Indian question was under discussion In the Senate—I expressed the opinion that through whiskey, small pox, measles, scrofula, and other abominable and unmentionable diseases contracted from whites and Chinese, the probabilities wero that iu a quarter of a century our B. C. Indian population would not ox* ccod 5,000 TO 10,000—But not as a result qf leprosy. Subsequent experience does not justify ino in greatly modifying the opinion then expressed. I never saw a case of leprosy in the oountry. I donbt if there Is a single caso now, or ever has been one, In the provlnoe. Thus. R.

Mr. Cowie, a Hudson's Bay officer, who has recently arrived at Ottawa from McKenzie River, brings tidiora of Lord Lonsdale, who struck north from Saskatchewan on a tour of exploration through tha northern region, Mr. Cowio said Lord Lonsdale made good progress and by this time he is probably within the Arctic circle. He has collected many samples of northern birds for a Scottish natural history society of whioh he is a member. He will return by the Yukon and Alaska. When the wifo of Joseph Cloran, a baker on McCord street, awoke Tuesday morning at 5 o'olock, she found a man lying on the sofa in the sitting room.

Hearing a noise on the front stain tho individual rushed through the rear door and escaped just as four policemen entered the house. A search was instituted in the yard by the officers, but no "Ripper could be found. A deputation, representing the Do* minion Land Survoyors' Association, waited on the minister of the interior yesterday, and asked for the adoption of an improved system regarding tho geographical nomenclature in connection with surveys, The deputation pointed out that many difficulties arose out of the mistakes as to various points, •uoh as lakes aud streamB, paascsiing the samo name.
