"How was the minister impreued with your representations)" asked the .Empire. "He gathered from us that Salmon fishing on the Pacifio cout i. very different from that of any other part of the Dominion, and that ipecial regulations are necessary in thia relation for the province df British Columbia. We are quite satisfied that he will give thii matter his best consideration and endeavor to meet our wishes as far ai potiible. We had the pleasure of shaking hands with Sir John Macdonald and were glad to see him look- ing so well and hearty. We regard him, and always have done so, as a true friend of British Columbia." "What about the .Chinese question!" "Wedid not come forthe purpose of seeing the government on this subject. The question of cheap labor in the province is one of. a very serious nature, and now that the country is progressing so rapidly this necessity is becoming more apparent overy day, and we feel quite sure that the question will solve itself in the near future." ji, .

Children Cryfor Pltcher'sCastorla Now Navigallgn Line. Captain John Irving, manager of the Canadian Pacitic Navigation Company at Victoria, B. C, wai in the city lut Friday with a view to the consolidation of the proposed Seattle Steamboat Company with another company that will be shortly formed to cover all points on the sound, with headquarters at Seattle. The object, u ascertained, is to make a new line of steamers that will run in opposition to the Union Pacifio boats, and givo a thorough connection with the Canadian Pacific railway by American bottom boats. This will be done by tunning from Seattle te Victoria, where connection can be made with the steamer Islander, whioh plies between Victoria and Vancouver The new scheme is..proposed in view of the early completion ot the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern to the boundsry, and the necessity of withdrawing the steamer Premier from the run to Vancouver, she being an American bottom boat. To prevent her boing brought into competition, it has been proposed that she become one of the boats in the new line to bo started. It is believed that a company osn be formed at once and those who have the matter in hand havo at leut tour steam- en in view that would be suitable for the trado between Portland and Seattle and two or three that are available tor the local tndo in the sound. The only set hack is the proposed Seattle Steamboat Company, which would of neces- ity compete with and interfere with the scheme. To avoid this it has been proposed that those interested in the Seattle line join in thi. later scheme and make it all one. It ia believed tlmt ihe stock in the new steamboat enterprise can be readily taken up, tho boata bought and the routes established between Seattle and Viotoria, Poit Townsend, Olympis and Portland! whereas the prospects are that the Seattle Steamboat Company eannot be formed and anything like a service given for nt least a year. To meet the requirements of tho Seattle line the new company proposes to make headquarters at Seattle and serve all tho points and business intended lo be met by the Seattle line. The abience of G. Morris Heller has caused the delay of anything like a definite settlement of the lohemo, but it il understood that Captain Irving his gono to Portland and San Ftanoiico to move in the direction outlined, relying on assurance of its ultimate succoss.

Ous esteemed cotemporary the Nanaimo Free Prist has another of ita rare artioles, which, as it treats oi the British Columbia (I) board of trade's now famous slip on the coasting regulations, from nn island standpoint, outside of Victoria, and throws some light on the practical working of the new order so officiously and mistakenly brought about, ie worth reproducing. Saya the Free Preta: The greatest blunder, among a very large number, made by the misnamed British Oolumbia board of trade, at Victorin, was demanding the strict enforcement of the Dominion ooasting laws in British Oolumbia waters. Not only did (die demand return like a boomerang and strike tho Victorians straight between the eyes in regard to their eastern bonded shipments via the Northern Pacifio Bailway, but has actually had the effect of closing down for tho present the prosecution of a very promising industry. We allude to the faot that the American steamer chattered to carry granite from the Nelson Island granite quarry has had to be withdrawn from the trade owing to the ill- advised and hasty action of the Viotoria yclept British Oolumbia board of trade. Under the coasting laws of the Dominion an American steamer is not allowed to go to Nelson Island to load becauso there is no port of entry or out-port located there. Atthe preient time there is no suitable British or Oanadian steamer available, and as a consequence the work at the quarry has come to n deoided standstill. The ill effects of the demand for the rigid enforcement of the coasting laws are becoming daily apparent, and show the wisdom of the Dominion government in allowing auch liberal latitude to British Oolumbia in regard to the enforcement of the revenue and coasting laws. Like a fond parent, the federal government knew what was best for us, better than their children as represented, by the Viotoria ' board of trade. In a great many instances it has been found that the Dominion luwa could not be literally' and striotly applied in this province without inflicting grave injury to commercial industries, and they were "honored in the breach" much tothe benefit of British Columbians, But the people of the capital as re. presented by their board of trade, thinking they were being injured in one particular by this concession, made a demand for its removal, and on getting their demand promptly complied with oan now see the great injury they have done not only to themselves, but to tbe entire province. Finding themselves smarting under the blow of the boomerang, they are stirring heaven and earth, through the electrio wire, to retrieve the injury they have oaused, but the parent is inexorable and replies: "My sons, I have given you exactly what you asked for, and still you are not satisfied. I am not inelined to recall the gift I gave you at your own request, on your own seeking. Like dutiful eons you must abide by the consequences of your rash and ill-advised requests. I have done fully a parent's duty in tho premises, and you must be satisfied." With the exception of Adelina Patti, it is doubtful whether there is to-day a prima donna either in grand opera or oratorio more universally popular than Madam Al- bani. We may, as Canadians, take legitimate pride inhersucoesses, and some facts recently discovered by an interviewer concerning the lady are not uninteresting. Bora at Mon- treal, of Frenoh Oanadian parentage, Madam Albani first saw the light in the year 1855. Her father, a violinist of no mean attainments, wai not long in discovering that his daughter had a voico, and at eight years ot age the ohild was starring through the principal cities of the Dominion. With great wisdom, howover, it was determined not to foroe the delicate throat; so, until the age of 17 the gifted songstress remained with her parents, away from the excitement of the stage, and the close study of the conservatoire. At Milan, the young lady •pent nine months, under the guidance'of Lombaidi, and, thence proceeding to Parii, another nine months of student life was passed in the French capital. It was, how- aver, on tbe boards of Oovent Garden, that Madam Albani made her debut in the opera of La Sonnani- bula, and she at once made a pronounced ahd emphatic success. London is critical, and if Italian opera il not altogether popular in that oity, that portion of the publio who interest themselves in it demand the very best that oan be given. It saya volumes for Albani that at onoe she was able to command luoceii with ..her audiences. Sinco her rf<4t(( in 1873 the musio loving public have never lagged in their admiration for Albani. In , 1879, at the American Oentenuary : ' -onoert at Chicago, iho oreated an * ■'■■j^'*te|bT her rendering of "Folks at home", and in May, 1885, when she sang "Home, Sweet Home" before the Queen and an audience of 12,000 representative men from all parts of the empire, her heartfelt emotion was apparent, and was reflected throughout the Albert Hall. It was indeed a scene calculated to arouse the finer feelings of every person present, for thoro sac the Queen, in the midst of men from overy portion of that vast empiro over which the sun never ceases to shed its light. Within the building were grouped exhibits of the products and manufactures of every portion of tho British do minions, for never probably had so grand a gathering of the sons of Great and Greater Britain assembled at one time and in one building as was seen at the opening of the Oolonial and India exhibition held at South Kensington in 1885. It was fitting that a daughter of the empire should sing the "Home Sweet Home" weloomc, nt such a gathering, and small wonder that few oyes in that vast crowd were dry. Madam Albani enjoys tbe friendship of the Queen, who never tires of hearing her sing. At Brae- mar, Mr. Ernest Gye, tho operatic manager and husband of Madam Albani, has a residence, and when her majesty is in Scotland, the gifted prima donna is in constant requisition at the royal home, where she sings whilst Princess Beatrice of Battonburg accompanies her on the pianoforte, In oratorio, as well as in grand opera, Albani is always popular, and whenever billed for a concert at the Albert Hall, that splendid building is sure of receiving an overflowing audience. The first thing that met our gaze this morning as we resumed the ceaseless grind and fiercely jabbed the wrong end of the editorial pen into tho too convenient mncilage pot, to indite a burning article on the "Scissors are Mightier than the Sword," was a neatly addressed missive, which, being opened, disclosed a single sheet of foolscap, ruled transversely and bristling with methodically arranged columns of conjugations, inflections, modifications, rules of syntax, and all the perplexing terminology of English grammar. The first column to the left contained, one word under the other, what gradually dawned upon us as a familiar sentence: "Those— impressions—may be—all—right— but—the—trouble — with—that— artiole—" eto. Where had wo noticed that mellifluous progression of words before) Oh, yesj it was among the "lays of tho last minstrel,"whose discordant, but illusive, cackling awakens the hollow echoes of Ohurch streot every morning; and it was but yeaterday that the "lay" had been sung, and there had been a false note or two—a misplaced acciaccatura, so to speak— the fault of tho "wretched" printer, of courso—not—and we had rashly challenged the Infant class of the publio school to point out the defects and make the necessary corrections, and we had recklessly staked a Obristmas sled or a Santa Olaus doll on the result. And here we were, "taken up" with a Buddenness that nearly took our breath, and by a nine-year old school girl! We have not space to detail the whole complex process, but after Truth') faulty sentence has been skilfully put through all its facings by the youthful analyst it reads: "Those impressions may be all right, but the trouble with that articlo lies in it being more in the nature of self-glorifioation," instead of "the trouble with that articlo lays in its being," eto. The bright young scholar, whose services our morning cotemporary should, without loss of time, engage as proof-reader at least, signs herself, "Katie N. Fraser, age 9 years," and adds: "I have a doll, but would like very much to havo a sleigh." The prize was offered for the best answer, It would be hard to produce a better one than the foregoing. However, we will leave the lists open for answers received until to-morrow (Friday) noon. In making the award we shall take into consideration the promptness of the answer and the ago of the competitor, and we rather think that Miss Katie Fraser will get the sleigh. The sheet containing tho corrected sentence we shall be happy to present to the editorial staff of Truth, for framing and hanging in its sanctum, so that the unsophisticated printer! may not blunder in that way again. Sir Henry Isaacs, the new Lord Mayor of London, is the third Jew who has filled that office since the date of ite institution, just 700 years ago. Henry Fitz-Elwin, who first held the office, was appointed by the crown. The two previous Lord Mayors of the Jewish persuasion were Sir David Solomom and Sir Benjamin Phillips, and curiously enough, the year 1890, during wbioh Sir Henry Isaacs will exercise his authority, is the 600th anniversary of the expulsion of -the Jews from England by.

Uall. *to Owing to tho death of the mother of Captain Odin the stenmer Gladys hns remained at hur dock for two days, Sho will probably resumo hor regular trips to-morrow. The condition of the lad McQuarrie, who had his leg brokon and skull crushed, near Yale, on Sunday, ia very low, and Ins death is momentarily expected. Much sympathy is expressed for tho afflicted family. Tho str. Princess Louise left this moruing for Victoria with 24 head of cut tic:, a quantity of merchandise and a good many passengers, She was to take on a large quantity of farm produce at various points down the river. The bun hud hard work penetrating tho dens*.! bank of fog which rested over the lower part of tho cfty this mornim1. About noon, however, it wns completely dispersed on the hill although it remained on tho river all day. The contractors on the street improvements nro hiving an up Inl! job of it at present, owing to the soft and slippery condition of the ground. There will be very smnll profits mado out of mnny of tho unfinished contracts. A bad nit in the rondwoy a little wont of the depot on Columbia streot was tilled up with cobble Btonos to day nnd a good piece of road made. The root <>f tlio street would bo greatly improved by the application of the sume remedy to it. Tho work of completing the internal finishing! of tho str. Delawaro wus begun to day; they will be completed to-day and tho stenmer will start on her regular routo to-morrow morning. Sho is to mako tlio trip to Chilliwack* and back in one day. Capt. Lilliiiuhoim, whose skull was crushed by an accident ou board tho S.S, Abyssinia, at Vnucouver, on Monday night, died at the hospital on Tuesday. Tho decease*] was in tho possession of several medals and gold watches awarded him fur saving life. The hull of thu wrecked steamer Biietler has bceu towed to Vancouver, where all the machinery, which is in fair condition, will be taken out of her and probably made use of again. Mr. Manson, the owner, hopes to soon have another vessel running in place of tho Rustler. The full court, consisting <,f Chief Justico Bni'bio and Justices McCreight, Drake and Walkem, on Monday reversed lho decision of tho Hon.

The Colonist Bays of the Wo 'A Company, which appears at Herritig'ttOpero House on Saturday: Dr. Casrtuovia performed several clover illusionary tricks, nnd a couplo of lightning chango artists pleased tho audionco. Tho bicycle performance of young Mnrtcuetti was ono of tho most interesting parts of the programmo. Tho donkeys showed conaiderablo intelligence beforo they retired from lho stage. A dispatch from Whatcom saya that an unknown man, apparently about 40 years old, with SCO of Canadian money in his pockets, wns found dead yesterday morning with his throat cut and two small wounds in his breast. Ko ono can identify him, but ho IooIib liko a laborer. Ho is nearly six feet tall, with full dark whiskers. A coroner's inquest was held, but nothing could be learnt.

Ho reports that nil work itt connection with the dyke and dam will bo completed by Saturday night. The manner in which the dyke haB been constructed has givon satisfaction io nil parties interested in tho scheme, and all aro confident that the good results expected from it will bo achieved. The value of the land to bo benefitted by tho dyking scheme has increased considerably since the work commenced. The Choral Union. Handel's oratorio, "Tho Messiah,'' will bo rendered by the choral union at tho Oddfellow's hnll on Tuesday evening next, when it is expected a largo audienco will be present. This will bo tho 2Gth performance given by the choral union, and the patronage bestowed ou tho coming event will successfully prove its ever-increasing popularity. Tho solos on Tuesday evening will bo taken by Mrs. Sillitoe, Miss Major, Mias McBrido, Mrs. Wol- feudon, Mrs. Lyal, Messrs. Lyal and Hamber, and Messrs. Brown and Kent, of Victoria. Special Trains fur Special Objectn. The C. P. R. ran a special train on Monday to accommodate their employees who wished to vote in Vancouver for Mayor Oppenheimer, but the samo company permitted fatigued women and children who had been aoven days on the train to wait over three hours in a dirty station at the junction till the regular train camo ulong. And this when the Paoific express should.have boen met for iho conveyance of thu mails to Westminster even if the passengers wero not of sufficient importance to demand courteous attontion. Coinl Advice Appreciated, The chief of police had u private conference with threo gentlomon yesterday, strangers in this city. The chief, after giving them a pretty thorough de- sciiption of the scenery aud other things of interest to be seen outsido tho city limits, advised them in a whisper that their room was immeasurably moro appreciated in Westminster than their company. Aftor thanking the chief in the heartiest manner for his hospitality, nnd regretting thoir inability to stay ovor night nnd givo a courso of lectures on chicken-stealing nud safo-cracking, tho trio Btolo away under the mantle of night and disappeared from tho environs of the royal ity, sadder but wiser vagrants than they camo. Bliss Essie TUMI. The TittellDramaticOompany begins n three days' engagement nt tho opera houso on Mondny next. The Seattle 2'i'mes says of the company: Miss Es- TUtell, supported by an excellent dramatic company under the management of Russell & Jewell, played tbe drama, Poarl of Savoy, at Turn hull last night to a crowded house. If there had been any doubt about her powers ns nn nctress it was readily dispelled, for from tho moment the cur- tiiu roso until it foil at the end of tho last act she hold her audience entranced. Iu the character of Marie, Pearl of Snvoy,she is perfect, and,wins the sympathy of her audience ns soon as film appears before them. The play is well staged, nnd nil taking part in it aro artists. ts «■ *>■ — — " rnlnfnl Accident. Yesterdny nfternoon, at tho Royal City Planing Mills, a piece of timber which had been ruu through ono of tho lip-saws, got awny from tho men who wero holding it, and wns drawn back by the saw and hurled through the air with terrific force, striking in its Hight a man named Simpson. The forco of tho blow was suoh as to knock tho man down, injuring him very severely. Tho slab struck Simpson in the abdomen and has dono serious internal harm in the neighborhood of tho groin. Dr. Coopcrwasinstantlysummonodand pronounced tho man's injuries of n very serious character; bo much so indeed that it will requiro several days to diagnose tho exact extent of them. Simpson has been removed to the hospital. No blame can bo attachod to any of tbo men who wero around the saw at the time. Great Scarcity of Venison. Thero has been a remarkable dc* crense in the receipts of venison this yenr, and which is only partially accounted for. Up to date only twenty carcasses of venison have been received by W. H. Vianen since the seat-on opened, while last year over 300 carcasses had been received up to Dec. 10th. Tho season for killing deer ends on the 31st inat., so that there is little chanco of this species of game being plentiful on tho market before Ihnttimo. Ono of the reasons given for this remarkable shrinkage, is tho fact that the law now prohibits tho killing of does, but tho preservation of the latter doos not tend to diminish the number of bucka. The most probable reason for tho scarcity of venison in that salmon wero plentiful this yenr; the Indians made wonderfully largo wages during the run and are not forced to hunt during the disagreeable weather as thoir stock of provisions will tido them over till spring. On Friday last the staff and cadets of the Roynl Military College at Kingston sent a congratulatory telegram to Lieut. Stairs, Stanley's brave aide, to await his arrival at Zanzibar, Tuesday morning the anawer oame, "Thanks, comrades." lie wauled n Paper. An exciting scene obcurod on Columbia street this morning near iho railway depot. Tlie News-AdcerUser do- livery boy had just arrived with tbe vi.ruing papers und was about to oom* mouco distributing them, when a burly fellow Dtepped up and demanded a papor from tho lad, who refused it, saying ho had nono to spnro. This did not suit the mnn who aaid ho would have ono anyway, and thereupon mado a grab for tbo bundle. Tho littlo chap was plucky, and refused to part with n sheet except when compelled to do so by force of arms. A short tussle followed ending in the wholo bundlo boing scattorod in tho mud and nearly overy papor being considerably soiled by tho contact. Tho man quietly selected ono of tho sheets that bud suffered least and walked off, leaving the delivery boy and his wares in a vory unpresentable condition. A warrant will bo issued for tho arrest of tho offender, and it is understood tlio proprietors of tho Newt-Advertiser will push the prosecution of tho caso. Loafers, I,oou Ont t The remarks passed hut Monday night in tho city council by Boveral of tho aldermen in regard to mon cm- ployed hy tbo city to work on the Btreets, idling thoir time nwny while the foremen wero absent, ought to satisfy thoso skulking fellows thnt their little game is well known. Aid. Jaques said it only touk a foreman a very short time to find out thoso Inny Bcamps, and that when they became aware of the presence of such loafers they invariably let thom go. The idea was n common ono that becauso n man is employed by tho corporation he can fool away his time with impunity during the day, and shirk all heavy or hard work, leaving those whom they term "greenhorns' nnd "softies" to lift the heavy end of the log nnd throw tho biggest shovelful, whilo thoy aro plunged in profound speculations as to how they can bost fill in their time till dinner-time. It would appear that thero nro many of these good-for- nothings on the forco engaged on the atreeta, but if tho opinion of tho council ou Monday evening may bs taken ns a shadow of coming events their time is very limited indeed. Amicably Settled. An elderly Siwash lady who is addicted to Sairey Gamp's stylo of tea-pot, when sho feels eo "dispoged," caused a ripple of short-lived excitement at tlio comer of Lorno and Oolumbia streets thia afternoon. From what could bo gathered it would appear thnt a gentleman not unknown ti fame iu thu annals of lhe polico court, gave tho lady above mentioned a loan of three dollars and a half, and when tho timo came to collect tho money ho walked down to the swamp, where tbo residence of hia debtor is situated, and knoolccd nt the door for admission. This being refused ho knocked the door down aud otherwise conducted himtelf in an indecorous maimer, making use of language of the same strength* aB tho whiskey ho had been drinking; and it was of tho sort scien* lists pickle specimens with." The irate Siwash femalo immediately came into town, and meeting tho chief of polico at tho spot abovo mentioned stntodhor caso in choice Chinook, and shook her elderly fist in tho face of her creditor. An amicable adjustment oftho disputo wns arrived at on tho spot, and the meeting dissolved mutually -satisfied. The Kxlilliitlou nnd Concert, Thore was a better houso last night to Beo tho exhibition aud concert under the auspices of the Y. M. C, A. than the plays of tho two previous evenings enjoyed. Tho organ playing of Mr. G. J. Burnett was highly appreciated by the audience, as it deserved to bo. Tho work on the horizontal bar was equnl to what mny be aeon in the best gymnasium of the enst, while tho tumbling nnd somersaulting wns hotter tban many of tho professional shows of thnt kind that come hero. The singing of Mrs, Robson, Miss Holden and Mr. G. Lyal elioted well-merited applause. Mr. T. Sampson's rending in the Yorkshire dialect was well-given nud well-received. The playing of tho orchestra rather astonished many iu the audience who expected to hoar discords and mixod-up music; tho pieces they played were rendered in »stylo that would not have dono discredit to many a professional orchestra. "Tbo dream of Eugene Aram" recited by Mr. T. L. Graham was an excellent performance. Tho other items on the programme wore vory kindly received nnd applauded by the audience. Tho Btatuary representations at tho Inst, although marred hy some ludicrous incidents caused by the young follows who superintended the curtain, passed off well. This is the last oxhibition thnt the "old" gymnasium will give. The next will probably tako placo iu tho Y, M, C. A. now gymnasium next winter, Falling to Decay. Everything waa in apple pio order at the drill shod to-day awaiting the inspection of tho commanding ollicor, Lieut.-Colonel Holmes of Victoria. It Sb hopod that aomo action will bo taken towards repairing tlio drill shod. This wns promised last summer, but nothing has boon douo in tho mattor yet. A Coujmuian roportor took a look through tho building to-dny and found things iu rather a dilapidated Btate, especially in tho rear. Over the stage there id a bud leak, nnd tho effects of the lato rain were plainly visible on the floor, which, necdlos3 to say, is rotten nt that placo. In the adjoining oilice*- tho sn.no condition of affairs exists, and in one of thom tho floor has resigned tho battle of life nnd sought Biucease of sorrow in the temporary tomb provided by n hollow below. It seems ti pity that property should bo allowed to go to wreck in this way. Thoro ia scarcely a whole nano of gloss in the building, and what leaking in tho roof haa not done, the rata have attended to with tho greatest assiduity. Tho armories of tho artillery and rifle corps arc in better condition than any other part of tho building, but they might bo still moro securely fastened up. Tho littlo yard on tho bwor sido of tho building could give Swiuburno's "Deserted Garden" somo information on the growing of weeds. Last summer it was used ns a committeo room by half tho cata in town, and only lately tbo woods wero cut down and n fow littlo bits of tidy* ing done to the ground. Several old gun carriages, limber boxes nnd othor artillery fixings in an advanced stage of decay givo a rathor pleasing antique effect to tho scene. Tlio moss on the roof is positively unrivalled in the country in quantity and quality. PERSONAL. D. J. Munn has gono ovor tu Van* couver on a visit in wliich business und pleasure aro happily blended. Arthur Shepherd, who has been acting as extra clerk in tho government agent's offlce in this city for the last year, haa been regularly gazotted on tho pcrmanont staff. The promotion is very populnr. Wm. O'Connor, tho oarsman, who was defeated last September by Searle on tbe Thames, was much affectod on Monday by tho news lhat Scarlo's ond was nt band. lie immediately cabled his regret a, hoping tho message would reach tho grout onvsman in time. O'Connor gavo it us his opinion that Searle contracted hia disease on the murky Thames, and that the germ of the disoaso lurked in hia constitution at the timo of the raco, hut not sufficiently to affect his manhood.
