The mesB-jge then pro* ceedeato congratulate lhe country on its continued good relations and correspondence with other governments, find welcomed the delegates to the Pan-American and Maritime confer- once. It said, in referenco to the Chineso quest hm, that while the country's supreme interests demand tho exclusion of n Inboring element which experience has shown to he incompatible with its social life, all steps to cumpnss the imperative need ahould be accompanied with a recognition of the claims of thoso strangers now law* fully iimnng us, to humane and just treatment," Tho president then says: "On the part of the government of the Dominion of Canada, an f-fi»rt hits heen apparently mado during the season just ended to admin* isior 1-iwB and re-rulations applicable to the lisheriea with ns tittle friction ns possible, and temperate representations.

The president Bays the Anticipations which havo accompanied the coinage and tbe ur-o of the silver dollar have not been realized, and argues ngninst a further increase of tho present rate of coinage. Revolting to lhe Chinese question tho menage says; ''The enforcement of the Chinese exclusion act has boen found very difficult on tho oorth-western frontier. Chinamen landing at Viotoria find it oasy to pass over tho bordor owing to the impossibility, with the forco ut command- revenues the seal fisheries make a large annual contribution.

Tho captain then concluded to beach her which he accordingly did at Atkinson Point. As after inspection showed they had not beached her any too soon for if the wator hid reached the furnaces It would certainly havo caused nn explosion and not ono of the hands would have boon left to tell tho tulo of her loss. After beaching her Captain LeBlanc, W, Bruce (fireman) and threo Indians left in the small boat for Vancouver whoro they intended goinc for assistance. When they got to English Bay they met the Dunsmuir leaving fnr Nanaimo, Mr. M. Manson, the owner of the Rustler, happened to be on her.

RKTunNlXCt to tho question of tho civic nominations, wo havo for mayor W. B. Townsend and J. O. Brown. Mr. Townsend bus made a fairly good mayor for tbo lust live or six months, having been returned by aoolamation to fill tho position on the resignation of ex-Mayor Hendry. Sir, Townsend comes forward for re-election on tho declaration, over bis own signature, thut he is a "candidate for the position on the oondition that the salary is attached to it." The salary Mr. Townsend refers to is, in his own words, that which "the charter empowers the council to pay the mayor, $2,000 per year." Wo lmve already approved in these columns of the principle of paying tho mayor of this city a salary in the future, and have also intimated- that the mayor of Westminster should be put upon the same footing as tho mayors of the other principal oities of tho province. Not a few of the ratepayers consider that this is too ambitious— and costly—a view to take of tin* matter, that wo should be more modest and pay our mayor §1,000 a year to begin with. We ure free to admit thut there is wisdom in tho suggestion, while believing that the royal city must vf-ry soon assume the samo responsibility as to tbe mayor's salary as her two sister cities. Mr. Brown is understood to hold that $1,000 will do very well for.the mayor'B salary to begin with, and. according to his remarks and those of a supporter at the nominations yeserday, .this opinion on Mr. Brc-vn's part, as distinguished from the larger ambition of Mayor Town sen*', was tho principal reason of Ins (Mr. Brown's) nomination and accptanco as a candidate for tho ma; otalty. Without arguing any furt her on the question us to whether fie mayor of Westminster is on- titli d to—and whether tho city can affod—a salary of $2,000 to begin with, economy and modesty in a can Uriato are certainly recommenda- tioM.cr se, and Mr. Brown has uud >i btedly this advantage over his opj.'-r.-int in the start. Apart from thi q cation of salary, and without any ('uparagement of Mr. Townsond, win , *n some respects, has proved bin ielf a good mayor, wo are con- vin ■ ■■' that Mr. Brown will make a hetl ■_ chief magistrate on tbo whole thai .[ayor Townsond, and on this groin ' we favor his election.

The Antarctic exploration craze appears to be again undergoing a revival ut the antipodes, says The Colonies and India. News of the proposal having had tiino to spread to Northern Europe—where thero appears to be quite a plethora of both Arctic and Antnrctio polar enthusiasts—volunteers are coming forward from tho Scandinavian direction who are ready and willing to hazard tho exploration of tho great southern ultima thule. The Australian Antarctic exploration committee has its headquarters in Melbourne, and at tho present timo it has under its serious consideration an offer from Commodore Svend Foyn, a well-known Norwegian whaler. The hardy whaler is not by any means all sentiment and geographical enthusiasm; ho proposes in a reasonably practical way to combine business with scientific research, und to this ond suggests the employment of two steamships on tbe proposed excursion to the Antarctic regions. While duly making careful note of the land which he might be able to distinguish from icebergs in the southern region-., Commodore Foyn would keep his weather eye on the "spouters," with a view to bringing back with hiin to Melbourne a couple of steamer-loads of spermaceti oil. To show that litis not bound by any sentimental rules, the Norwegian commodore will permit the exploration commit tee to find the two steamers necos- Bury for tho proposed expedition, and he also announces his readiness to allow the Victorian government to give him a snm equal to $60,- 000 towards defraying tlie expense- of the expedition.

Long ruins and disastrous floods svero experienced in the Atlantic states and in Ghina in tho early part of summer, und tho loss of life and property was appalling. Brought in the North western stotos has reduced many farmers to the point of starvation, und in somo other sections of the eountry has greatly lessened the crop. In Pokier province, China, thousands havo died lately through famine, caused by drought, and a famine amongst millions of people is threatened. Strange to say, only a few hundred miles north of tho drought stricken province thousands of square milos are flooded and hundreds of families have beon drowned by the rise of tho Yangste river, which has heen swollen by unseasonably heavy rains. China has suffered also horn excessive autumnal heat, ahd in the Oanadian Northwest July temperatures wero frequent in October. In contrast with this weather, Montana had a great mow storm in September, and a few days later a large part of Austria was covered with snow and building, even buried by it; and to crown the record of extraordinary phenomena for nine days a frightful snowstorm raged in Texas and New Mexico at the close of October and early in November, attended by loss of much life and property. Between droughts and rains, untimely frosts, nnd unseasonable heats, the Johnstown and the Ohinese floods and Iho great Texan blizzard, the year seems (o havo been ono of most exceptional oharaoter.

At her open window in Buckingham FalaceOate isa wonderful green parrot which attracts hundreds of people every day to hear him talk. The crowd on Sunday was so great that the policeman had to request the poople to move on. "Move on" echoed the parrot, to tlio intense delight of the mob. "Folly, what is o'clock 1" asked a man. The parrot, pretending to look at tho olook, cried out in answer, "Half- past five," and he was right. "How old are you Polly!" "Don't know. How old are yout" was thu answer, whioh of course provoked great merriment, in which tho par rot joined. Asked what day of tho week it was, the wretch hopped about screaming, "Sunday. Oo to prayers.

Whioh Blval Hade, ln Point ol Torrid Comfort. "Before I left, the United Btates," writes a traveler, "aome people said to me that Persia was a very hot and unhealthy place. I pointed with a triumph to a statement of one of our ministers, published in the Century, to tl." effect tnat the climate was delight- ful, and stole upon your senses gradually, like the zephyr, laden with the fragrance of myriads of flowers, or words to that effect. Alas, I have heen sadly disabused. There ls a Persian proverb as old as the hills which hath in that "Iran haftx Utun dared" (l.e. "Persia has seven climates") and, as most proverbs, tt is true. Thus, while along the shores of the Caspian, hundreds and hundreds of miles in length, the climate is moist, fever laden, oppressive ln summer, up in the moun* tains in the Maianderan district in the north it Is quite raw. In the central portion, up ln the plateau four thousand feet above the sea level, from Teheran into Isphan and way beyond, tho climate on the whole is mild and moderate, with the exception of the lato summer and early fall, when dys. entery, Intermittent fever and cholera prevails. In the south, in Faristan, Arablstan, snd Luristan, and ln a still higher degree along the Persian gulf, Busheer, and Mohammerah Included, the heat ls extreme, and It is said that there are places there which oome right after that other place that must not ba mentioned to ears polite, In point ot torrid oomfort. In Bender Abbas, for instance, the inhabitants amuse themselves during the heated term by lying atill, in the airiest of costumes, in tho cellar, whilo ono servant continually pours water on them and another one act3 as a mobile perpetuum In keeping the fan going." Intelligent Gratitude of a Dog, "You may call it Instinct, If you like, but I Bhall insist that it is Intelligence that makes some brutes behave ao sensibly as they do," said a gentleman in conversation with a reporter, and then the gentleman added: "I've had all the proof I want of It to-day. In the dooryard of an unoccupied house adjoining mine twelve little puppies uttered their flrst yelp yester- day morning. Their mother, an old black and white mongrel, with an eye to the safety of her large new family, took them one by one and laid them in a narrow area, down by one of the cellar windows. One of the panes happened to be out of the window, however, and beforo night evory ono of the puppies had crawled through the opening and fallen to the cellar floor some six feet below. "Next morning we missed them, and from the whining of the mother, su pposrd tl it the puppies were all dead on the hai'. cellar floor. But, later In tho slay, ths maternal brute set up sueh a pawing and howling at the cellar winilow that I made up my mind there was some :-uppy life below. Accordingly I liro e into the cellar and, to my surprise, found eight of the little family of dogs still alive and kicking. One by ono I took them up and placed them in the dooryard grass for the mother to take wherever sho might choose, and one by one she laid them back in the area of the broken cellar window. "This compelled me to stop up the hole in the broken pane, to prevent the puppi 's from crawling through again. Then, when lt was all done, the old mother brute, beside herself as she wsb wii U Joy, and anxious to devote every second ot her timo to the recovered puppies, crawled up laboriously out of the area, and, leaving the Utter alone, came wriggling and sneezing, and all hut laughing up to me, a stranger, and licked my hand as I held It down to pat her head. "No, that's not instinct. That is as plain and as intelligent a 'Thank you' as a human being ever uttered." '■ .1. is I I - Ab Immense Age. Professor Baird says that thete is nothing to prevent a lish from living insl.'ilnitely, as it has no period of maturity, hut grows with each year, lis* isauthortty likewise for saying that within fifty years a pike was living In Rsissia whoso age,according to tradition, dated back to the fifteenth century, KING BOMBA. A PrlnwUng Who Gamlslml Away Itls ',. Last Dollar and Committed Stslclsle. Prince Molistani, a member of a well- known Neapolitan family, has committed suicide after seeing his name posted as a defaulter at his club, because of his failure to pay his losses at gambling, says tho Argonaut. The nobility of tho Molistani family Ib of comparatively recent creation, King "Bomba" of Naples was very freehanded In his creation of titles, the number of persons whom he raised to princely or noble rank being something quite -extraordinary. It is reported that on one occasion he pacified a turbulent mob of insurgent lazzaroni, who, bent on violence, had assembled beforo tho royal palaco, by suddenly appearing on the balcony and shouting out at tho top of his voice: "Basta, basta: sieto tuttl marches!!" (Enough, enough; I create you all marquises.) As tho groat French novelist, Alexander Dumas, very rightly remarked, Naples is so over-crowded with princes and nobles that it is more distingue to be even a peddler there then one of tho former. King "Bomba" was exceedingly kind to his personal adherents, especially whon he was able to be so without disbursing money. Among his favorite attendants was a young man who filled the humble yet confidential oflice of chiropodist. So highly did the monarch appreciate his services that he conferred upon him tho title of Prince Molistani, On the expulsion of the Bourbons from Naples, the newly created princo followed the present ex-king Into exile and made his way to Paris, where he soon becamo a thorough boulovardler. Gradually ho dropped out of the moro reputable clubs and became known as one who walked in somewhat shady paths. It is reported that he was an unsuccessful rival of his countryman Prince Col- onna, for tho hand of MIbs Eva Mackay. The chief revenue wliich supports many of the Paris clubs is a tax derived from gambling. Tho custom is, when a man does not pay his debts, to write bis name on a piece of whito paper and to paste it on tho mirror, in the card-room, When Princo Molistani came into the club on a recent afternoon he walked up to tho mirror, looked closely at the name, then picked up his hat, walked away, without saying a word to anybody, and went home. Then he put a revolver to his right temple and blew out his brains. He gambled away the last dollar of a fortune of 3100,000, inherited six years ago, and has sines lived like a man with au income of 9100,000 a year, ou his wits. He was nicknamed "Molisse des Cannes," and was a fragile, delicate fellow, with tho haggard faco of a confirmed card- player who had lost more than he had made. He was found dead beside*a* littlo table on which were letters to creditors and friends. Among the let. ters was one to the ex-king and queen of Naples. ii -..■ .. Something Abont Amsterdam. As a people the Butch aro not hand- tme, There are handsome types, but they havo come in with Flemish immigrations or by accidental' admixture with some of the blonde tribes., of nortii Germany. They are evidently -not tho old Batavians recognized in history 100 years beforo the Christian era, and, by a singular persistence of descent, perpetuated till the present day. This perseverance of ancient types through thousands of years of pestilence, of submergence, ot desolating wars, of internecine contests, of successive immigrations, is ono of tho marvels of history. Tho Flemish type is characterized by length of nose, breadth of forehead, smallness of chin and short- of face. Tho true Dutch type hns length of nose, narrowness of forehead, thinness of feature, gauntness of body and often considerable length of limb. ThCBe details are subject to modifications. The types more nearly approaching lt are those often seen in Denmark. You can wander for days through the streets, museums and publio places of Amsterdam, Harlem, Tho Ilaguo and Rotterdam and not meet a handsome woman, young or old, unless she Is a foreigner. Tho climate, like that of Boston, proves moro trying to the gentler sex. This absence of personal attractiveness In young women and girls is not without a certain pathos. __-_.i_t_l.ly some persons will doubt what is said by Prof. Baird about thoagea-1116 ,aces o£ oId women becomo thin fish can attain, If they do, thoy Bre'asal.lade,the U08e BhnrP as a needle, simply doubting the best known:"11-, c0™?lel:i™ P'stfrnnturally clear authority on fish.

AiaHltnn Exploration, The lirst iiowa of tho government expedition for tlio survey of Alaska has re-iched St. Luuis in a letter from John E. McGrnth, ono of the chiefs of the explorers. McGrath's parly has navigated tho Yukon river further than any stenmer ever went before, nnd will during tho win ter travel through nn unexplored land. The Turner party has already entered an unexplored country. McGrath's let- tor was written 200 miles above St. Michaels. Ho says: "The Yukon is 22 miles wide at its mouth. The natives along the river live in wretched hovels Polygamy is practiced iu some settlements. Tho people nro covered wilh vermin. Game and fish nre plentiful. Magnificent mountains are in Bight. Thero are luxuriant forests, tho grass is green, flowers are in bluom, and the weather is very warnij but 10 inches below tho surface the ground i$ frozen bard, even as deep as 25 feet. Mosquitoes abound." McGrnth s.iys Turner steamed 40 miles up the Porcupine river. There is not a stick left nuw at Fort Yukon, and the miners aro miserably poor. An Indian killed a, miner at Koejubuk river, and a big band of miners travelled a thousand miles and lost a whole season's work in order to hang the murderer. Heavy ruins have hindered mining operations. The Mc- Grath parly had entered tho British possessions. The Old Lnml* nnd the New. Senator Mc Innes concluded his series of lectures Inst niglit to a fair and appreciative audience in tlto old Presbyterian church. The senator, to use his own expression, galloped his hearers ovor Switzerland, a portion of France, England, Scotland und Ireland, and concluded with some well-weighed comparisons of tho old lands with thia virgin Dominion of ours und particularly our own province. Tlio honorable lecturer showed thnt tho European countries ho mentioned, as well aa the British Isles, had in some cases altogether, and in others nearly, reached the limit of their population and development—in short they were finished countries ; but that tho Dominion of Canada, with an area nearly equal to the wholo of Europe and greater than that of tho United States, being yet in its infancy comparatively, had a glorious futuro before it, and ifs six millions population would yet be two hundred millions, whilo British Culumbia could aupport twenty fivo millions much better than some European countries sustained their quota. Ono point which Senator Malunea made in his lecture, ouuecountof itslocnl interest ia worthy of special notice. Comparing llie entrance into the harbor of Liverpool—tho chief toiport uf Great Britain and of tho world—over the Mt'tS'.'y bur, with the approach into Weatmlnster harbor* by the mouth uf tho Frusta river, tlie leoturer Mated openly nud challenged contradiction of his statement, l hat the entrance of the Fruser river today was superior to that of the mouth of the Mersey going in to Liverpool ,and million- had been expended upon the latter, whereas only a trifle hud been yet bid nut in improvements on the Fraser Bund* heads. This significant statement was enthusiastically applauded by the audience. The lecture was pleasantly diversified hy humorous recitals and was replete with instruction and lofty patriotism. A standing vote of thanks was given at its close, tu whicli the senator appropriately responded. PERSONAL. Thos. McNeely, uf Ladners, is a guest at tlio Colonial. H. B.

Whatever influence it had nmong tho English speaking people waa counterbalanced by Mercier's influence nmong the Fronch, Alt tho reports in tho Toronto morning papers speak in torms of the strongest condemnation of the disgraceful maimer in which the execution of Harvey, the Guelph murderer, wns bungled. It seems that the hangman wns utterly incompetent and incapable, nnd hnd been selected solely because he wns a farmhand, by Sheriff McKim, and it waa undertaken by him simply for the paltry reward of twenty- flvo dollars pertaining to tho task.

Tho case of Thomas Mooro, oharged with entering a house after dark with intent tu commit a felony, cumo up under the speedy trials act this morning before His Honor Judgo Bolo. Tlm prisoner, who was not quito bo defiant nnd loquacious as whon he appeared in tho police court, pleaded "not guilty." Robert Keary, ono of tho proprietors of tho Eickhoff House, took tho witness etiind and gave the same testi meiiy as in the police court. The prisoner wan uui a guest at the hotel, and ho had been ordered away frum the house. Simeon Huff, the mau from whom the goods woro stolon, stated that the door of his room in the hotel wns usually left open, and that he hnd not noticed the clothes the ovening of lho robbery. All ho knew was lhat tliu clothing was gone, and thoso produce.! in court were hiB. Oflicer Dominy, who made the arrest, nho recapitulated hia polico court testimony, Tho prisoner said he had beon looking for a bed (hat niaht, and cross- examined the ollicor nnd witnesses with very commendable pertinacity, but to ltttb effeot. His honor found the prisoner guilty on the evidence produced, which ho said was overwhelming, and adjourned the oourt for flvo minutes to consider the sentence. Prisoner hnd nothing to say, but aBked his honor to be as light on him as he could. Resuming court again his honor hogan his speech by saying ho was glad to see a representative of tho press present (Tub Columbian), for these trials and sentences wont forth on tho winga of tho press nnd woro disseminated in all parts of the land, und did immeasurable good in checking crime nnd inducing tuch men ns tho prisoner to pause and think before thoy committed felonies. The crime of which tho prisoner stood convicted was one whioh resembled what iu London aud other large cities is culled sneak thieving, more so than the daring nnd moro determined crime of the burglar. It was a despicable crime. Large numbers of workingmen And it necessary to be out at night, at the docks, on tho steamers, and other work, and it is terrible to think that thoso mou should not bc able to leave their lodgings without the fear of the saoak thief creeping in and stealing their goods. Tho dom a of hotels arc loft open for tho accommodation of those working men. Itis nut for people tj.be going nbout like jailers with thetr property under bolls and bars. The property of the people is in tho cure ot the law, and by it in protected from euch attacks us tho prisoner has mado. Tho law tikes cnre to punish such brcaohes of the peace in a suitable way. This offence is a must serious one, and if not checked with a stern hnnd would apuedily reduce society tu a st ite of barbarism, in which every man's hand would bo against hia neighbor's. In New WeBtmlnster this sort of crimo, ho wna happy to any, had boon rare, uutl almost unknown, but he felt it bis duty to punish thia offence in such » manner that those who were likely to commit tho felony should ho inclined to think that New Westminster "as uot a very profitable field for lho prosecution of such enterprises. Ho bad it in hss powor to send tho prisoner up for seven years, but it wns imt his intention to exercise that severity. If, however, he found that such cases were on the increase in this city, he would ceriaiuly mote out tho full penalty of tho law, seven years, to some ol thu offenders, as he w>a deter mined to stop this crime in New Westminster. Tho workingmen at hotels must be protected; it was abominable that they should have to feel a senso of insecurity inn, city so well guarded by ita police, and ho wuuld mark his ni use of the seriottsuesi of the crime by sending the prisoner tu gaol for three years at hard labor. The case of VV, Scalen, ou a similar offence, was remanded until tho Oth inst. WANTED. EXPERIENCED GENERAL HALES- man wants position during holiday Benson. Can begin at once.
