Poutau Prince, Nov. 29.—President Hippolyte haa at lait announced hia cabinet, nnd ao largely is tho norlh represented in it that there ia already much grumbling on tho part of tho south. Whether or not this expressed dis.utiafi'cticm ia to bo regarded as the initial p. nm of another revolution, timo alone will show, but the political atmosphere of the island is rife with vsgue rumors of trouble BOSTON'S 010 BLAZE. Boston, Mass., Nov. 28.-At 10:30 thu tire which stirted in two housea previously on tho southwest corner of Bedford and Kingston Btreets, had extended to Harrison avenuo, south to Roo Place, west to Chauncey, and along Kingston nearly to ll.iuim.... street, and, deapito the heavy raiu and the presenco of the entire tiro department, crossed Chauncey street and showu'i no signs of stopping until the Common waa reached. So rapid wai the spread of the firo irom tho big building occupied by Brown, Durrill & Co., to tho four-story brick building on the othor Bide of Bedford street, No, 0, occupied by Lambson & Hubhard, hatters, that throo engines snd a truck had to bo abandoned, nud thoy wui. Boon crushed by the falling walls of tho Durrill building. Kingston atreut was now red hot with flames, but thu firemen rushed past the hat factory, and whilo a hose was boing placed on, tho tireinon attached a Hue to thu uln-mi-*. 1 engine and drugged ib along King-it.m to Bedford street and up to Chauncey stroot. At thia moment tho attic of Taylor & Bros' hat and cap factory crtught firo, audit) exactly foity-livo minutes tho entiro block, Kingston, Bedford, Chauncey streets, and Roe Place, had been traversed by the flames, which crossed to Chauncey street, going straight toward Washington struct and threatening tho entire biiainosa section. Three engines were mussed at the intersection of Roe Plaqe, holding the firo ih check, until thu big freestone building of Williams & Co., on Chauncey street and Roe Plnco caught firo, when the firemen surrounded Roo Place to save, if possiblo, tho large granite block on the west side of Chauncey street. In spite of ull their efforts, however, the flames spread across tho itreet and the build* inga on that side wore soon ablaze, At 1:15 it looked as if the Ure would burn clear through to Washington street on ono side to Sumner, and nobody knew how fur rn Kingston stroet, as the efforts of the firemen to control the flames were futile, and the large streams of water thrown by the engines turned into vapor beforo reaching the roofs. Just about thii time, while a number of firemen wero at work in Chauncey itreet, the entire glass front of No. 72 Chauncey street, ocoupied by Wright Bros.', skins and wools, was blown out, probably by the hot air generated by the tire in the rear. The firemen were blown iu all directions. OTTAWA NOTES. Ottawa, Nov. 28,—M.

Editor CoLU«BUN-Sir:—Mr. Cor* bould hi his statement published in your columns yesterday gives ino somo information I was uot possessed of, I refer to tho §250 charge re Lulu Island reserve.

I' had no reference in my remarks to the account as published by Mr, Corbonld, merely to the amount char«d for services rendered while at victoria) (in- clndfng, of course, the neceesary office work). If Mr. Corbould and bis many anxious friends could not get their "tearful" eyes npon hb account I am not to blame. It's only another of their "disappointments." If said account ever came into my possession I have no recollection of it, I know nothing of the "hoipital" charge—this is thefirat time I have heard of It. Thanking you for apace, I remain yours very truly, D. S, Curtis. TOOK OLD PEDRO. Lisbon, Nov. 29,—A cable des patch from Rio De Janeiro says tint Dom Pedro was ill when he left Brazil, and was accompanied by physicians, DI6COURAOINO FOREIGN IMMIGRATION. London, Nov. 28.—The bill now before thu French chamber of deputies regulating taxation contains a clause which has amused a great waste of popular incitement, though it has more pari-ans than opponents from its obvious character aa an anti-German measure and anti-Italian as well Thii clause pruposon the imposition of n poll and military tux upon every foreigner residing in France, and as though this were not enough to render France an undesirable residenco for foreigners, it goes to the length of minimising the i-ppnrtnnities for obtaining employment by imposing a tax upon every employer for each foreign employee in his service residing in France. Though many French employers have already refused to hire foreign labor- there are still a great many others who for one reason or another prefer them to Frenchmen, and these together with the foreign element whoso exclusion ia sought constitute the opposition to the FATAL 03L EXPLOSION. St. Petersburg, Nov. 28.—A ter* rifio explosion occurred last night in the Konstanlice petroleum pits at Bo* chun; fourteen workmen were instantly killed and four others seriously injured. The bodiea of the dead are horribly mangled. The explosion wai caused by lights coming into cont-ct with the gas from the pits. "jack the ripper1-catches it. London, Nor. 28.—-A man supposed to be "Jack the Ripper" was set upon by a crowd of women in the poorer quartur of Madrid this morning while he was in custody of the officers who were removing him from the jail to the court room, where he was to be arraigned on a chargo of having recently committed a murder under circumstances resembling those of tho Whitechapel murders in London. The crowd increased in numbers till it reached upwards of 600, mostly women, and it was only through the utmost exertions of thu governor of Madrid and a strong force of gendarmes who were summoned that the prisoner's life was saved. As it was, he was io leverely beaten that the services of a physician were necessary to restore him to a condition rendering the legal proceedings in his case possible. UrMlte Qearrj-. A granito quarry situated on Saanich inlet near Sayward'a mill is being opened up by the owner, Mr. J. E. Phillips, of View street Mr. Phillips has about five acres of land which ii rich in granito, and hasa force of a dozen men at work at preient. A wharf nearly fifty feet long bai been built out into doop wator for shipping purposes, and the only way to get the stono into the city ia by barges or tugs. Tho granite is of a luperior quality, some pieces being thirty feet in length. The cost of transporting it to the city will come to $1.00 per ton, which is a large item of expense. Mr. Phillips is alone in the enterprise, and wants all the profits or loss himself. He is reticent about the mattor but sanguine of a good thing, which it undoubtedly is.

A. soldiers of Now Westminster and the Rooney case. Some peoplo think it bard of the S. A, soldiers here for the way Rooney was pruseuutod. First of all, the worst enemy Hooney had was himself; there is not a soldier iu the N. W. corps who had the least bit of spite against him, and God forbid that there should, as all who attend our meetings know. He mado a practice of com* ing to the meetings, from all appear* onces, for nothing else but to disturb them, and when he came be seemed to havo a gang along with him who delight* ed iu Ins conduct, to back' him up dud help him along. Rooney has beeu pray* ed for, and coaxed and begged to conduct hiu__.ll properly. But the more kindness was shown him tbew-irso he would be. It has been given to understand that the army was afraid of him v.nA hts ' crowd, aB the reason why ho was dt. alt with so, Suoh ib a great mistake. The fact of the matter is that v_.t>.c>'alile people were getting disgusted wi.h the army,for allowing him to come to the meetings and for not keeping better order, and for not making an oxuin-.li- of some of the lads who delighted in making a disturbance. Tbe short and long of the mattor is that tbe S. A. soldiers of N. W. are not very badly frightened of the toughs of N. W., not half so much aa aome of them would have ns believe by their exnressirns. And we aro going to have order in the barracks, and tbo good authorities of N. W. are just as determined that there shall be order. Ood bless tbem. The soldiers of N. W. bave let somo of the lads have too much of their own way of late, but it ia wrong tbat we should encourage such conduct. 8ome of the amort lads of the streets have been very freo of late at cursing soldiers while passing them on tho streets, when the soldiers have been going along quietly about their business. But this is not going to be encouraged any longer by letting such pass unnoticed; and, for their own good, let it be understood that the first person or persons wbo does hereafter use insulting language to soldiers, on the streets or about the barracks, or anywhere else, will have to share tbo same fate as the unfortunate Rooney; and to the young man who used the abusive language to soldiers on Wednesday night, on his way to the Club saloon, It would bo bettor for you to cease such a habit. Do not do so again, for you are known. Lads, may God bless you all, do try and be decent; take a look at yourselves, acknowledge your wrongs through your words aod actions, and oe men in principle ss well as form. We do lore your souls and wonld liko to see all do well. If we didn't we wouldn't go out on the muddy atreeta to deliver God's love to you. And His message we will deliver on tho streets and in tne barracks, rain or shine. And wo do love to have the people come and listen. We appreciate good conduct, and more than that It la attainable.

Otiieh matters liavo engrossed the attention of our citizons of Iuto, to tho oxolusion of nny particular thought or discussion of the very important question ns to who shall oocupy tho seats around the civic board for the ensuing year. Whatever is to be done in tho way of selecting good men and truo for theso high and responsible functions must now be done quickly, with a vengeance, as Monday next is nomination dny for both mayor and aldermen. Last year, being tho first under the new charter, tho aldermen, nine in number, were eleoted for the whole city. For the ensuing yenr the elections will be by wards. Tho city is now divided into live wards, as follows, beginning at the west end: Ward No. 1, all that part of the city west of London street; No. 2, from London to Douglas street j No. 3, from Douglas to Clement; No. 4, from Clement to eastern limit of Queen's park * No. 5, from tho eastern limit of Queen's park to the eastern Um ts of the city, including Sapperton, annexed last winter. For the lirst four wards two aldermen each will be elected for 1890, Sapper <.•>, or ward 5, having no represent™ ion next year, as the property cot;,_ ised has not yet boen placed 1. thf t-ir nu- . ).-.., thai I- *: tun (suet: etc.) roll. Thi numbor for ui^ht nlder- assessment oouncil will insuring year, besides tlio mayor, one in the matter of aldermen during the present year. I. be seen that the old defini- ud nomcnulHcure of the wards : as St. Andrew's. St, CJeorge's, iins been abandoned, undor the n-'v . t, as well as thn principle of ■'. representation of Mi. si*, vera] Although the i.ounoi'1 )_-iw*, ! iw, determined that twn >i : rn i _liall be tliu repre'-Hiit-ifciOn pii * rd for the enduing year, *h*.\ i iv*- pwer under tin* uhii-tei: ty in -■■ •• thenumber-tnthrt-e ; .n ijliiir. In ii vard 5 is enfi-ati liise.1 .wliti-l- •vili I.- done before auotnpi' general muiiiiipal election after the one im- pundiiig), the civic board will comprise the mayor and ten or fifteen aldermen, as the council may from timn to time by by-law provide. Although nomination day is so near at hand, very few names have beeu definitely announced as candidates. Mayor Townsend, in fact is the only person wbo has published a curd, stating that ho will stand for ro-election as the ..ity's chief magistrate, but only on tlie condition, as will be seen by iris announcement made to-day, that tho mnyor of Westminster shall receivo the salary provided for by the charter, the same as is dono iu the two otber principal cities of the pro- vine*. We do not blame the mayor for Iris resoii tion ; ho has had about six month's of tho mayoralty, and has not only given lm whole time for that period to the onerous and ever increasing duties of the office, but has spent considerable hard cash as well. The fact is, this city haa reached a stage when no man, unless he has an ample private income and unlimited capacity for sacrificing himself for tbe publio good, can afford to serve as mayor without tha same salary as the mayors of Victoria and Vancouver get, namely 62.000, which sum even has been found by thoso officials not to be adequate compensation for the time nnd money spent. Mayor Townsend comes out squarely on this question, and it is just as well for the people to face it in the same spirit. It is only a question of time when we shall have to, as Viotoria has already found it necessary to do, pay our aldermen a small compensation, if we expect good business men, and not adventurers, to consent to occupy these rapidly becoming onerous positions. For the current municipal year the work has been so exacting upon the time and attention of the aldermen that, it would appear, none of the old board aro at all anxious to stand for another term. It is obviously in tho interest of the city, however, that a number of the retiring counoil should take their seats on the new board, and not that it should be composed entirely of new men. There are several good men in the present counoil that we trust may bo prevailed upon to accept nomination for the ensuing year. For new al- dermen, the very best men ahould be put forward in tho different wards. This is a matter that very nearly concerns every ratepayer and citizen, The interests at stake are j early increasing with tho growth and increased importance in overy respect ot the city. We confidently appeal to the ratepayers and citizens of the royal oity, on behalf of themselves and their, homes, their best interests, material and moral, not to permit, through any laxity or remissness on their part, tbe forthcoming civio elections to go by default, but to put forward the very best material the pity affords atthe nominations on Monday. ^^ LortD Matjaulay bas giten ii as his opinion t$at with tbo advance of civilisation poetry necessarily declines, and it is likely that the samo thing may be said of purely national characteristics. Before tho age of steam and electricity, beforo cheap literature was to be had, old manners and customs, pretty superstitions and quaint doings passed naturally from generation to generation nlmost without variation. But, with the facility of locomotion and the moro easy association of men one with another, theso "unwritten traditions" fell upon sorry times, nnd as the practice of more extended travel increased, if only into the next county, men began to smile first of all, and then dared to laugh outright, at the old fashioned simplicity of their forefathers, Perhaps no country ever afforded stronger confirmation of these truths than bonnie Scotland, tlio national festival of wliich land is celebrated to-day. Referring to the subject under discussion, Lord Cockbum wrote: "The feolings und habits which hud prevailed at the union, and which had left so many picturesque peculiarities on the Scottish character, could not survivo the on- largod intercourse with England and tho world." Tho author of the "Lays of Ancient Homo" !did not hesitate to say that "Sir Walter Scott was but just in time to save the precious relics of tho minstrelsy of tho border." What Scott,Percy, Ritson, and others did for Scottish minstrelsy, Dean Ramsay performed for tho quaint customs, sayings, and huraoi*3 of the poople at large. A prose writer of evident sympathy with all that pertained to Scotland's "domestic nationality," his "Reminiscences" aro for all time a very precious storehouse from which every man of Caledonian extraction may draw in afresh the humors and peculiarities, the religious feelings or convivial manners, of his ancestry. It has frequently been asserted by writers who ought to have beon bolter reformed, that the Scottish mind is absolutely devoid of humor. What could possibly have been more humorous tban the Scotch servant's remark to his master whon the latter was so choked with passion as to be unable to spo.ik, "Eh, sir, maybe an aitli would relieve you," or again, when a Perthshire Laird told onu of his tenants that he purposed s.wl- !. the young laird abroad," ''What for?" asked the tenant. "Tos.-etlie world," was the reply. "But lnnd," came the ready objection, "will no tli.1 world st* _ip son was ■.,■',,.. it,,,., I-sprltl. liini," iirijslyi ,us*l. it frol Is ' 1 ut ..J sivlit. . tlmt ...1 bet ...... ten ■ ■ •'• t 1 -li >-..,me quite n p. }*-.. d--.it. uv.-1 ■ p Iy * - " ■ 'le nf B'f't *,;ni. rt.',- v I, l'l. f ■ mul feoliuy -fi'id-- •**.-.ii_ hu-.u r*.-i tliu perpetuation, at least in a in>-a- suiv, of tb'* memi>rii-™ of thin-ii* i-s sentially Scotch.

NOTES AND C0MMENTS. Ooutrary to what might naturally be expected under the circumstances, tho admission of ladies to the university of New Brunswick is resulting in a gradual diminution of the male students, lt is consequently feared that the institution will soon become a high school for girls. It ean only bo said that the New Brunswick youth is wanting in gallantry or the New Brunswick beauty must bo wanting in charms.—-Ex. Children Cryfor Pitcher'_Castoria It is estimated that the fund raised for the relief of the Con* emaugh Valloy sufferers would hnvo given every man, woman and child |>200 apiece, and yet tho fact is that no poor family—and many included from eight to ten persons—has received more than 8300, while many lmve received less than $200. The dissatisfaction njnong tbo poorer classes is so great that a committee has been appointed by the food commission to investigate the manner of distribution. France is a protectionist country, and yet, strange to say the condition of its working classes is by no means what tho arguments of advocates of protection would load us to expect. A report recently issued by the French statistical bureau, dealing with tho strikes in the country during tho eleven years which onded with 1865, shows that tho most frequent causes of these disturbances were demands for an increase in wages, reductions of wages, and dissatisfaction with the conditions of labor. This appear, to be another case in which protection is open to the charge of false pretences. Dr. Frithjob Nanson, notes an exchange, will start for the north pole in a few days. He will land as far north in Greenland as possible and then push north with small boats and sledges. As travel by sledges is hotter in winter than summer, he has chosen the winter season for this bold push for the northern "hole in the ground.'' He will cut loose entirely from any base of supplies and will not undertake to establish relief stations, but will depend entirely upon what he can take with him or can find for food. No "rescuing parties" have yet been organized, and it is generally conceded that none will be needed, for if ho does not come back unaided there will be nothing to rescue. ■lob printing of all kinds neatly dona ah the Columbian office, Prioei will lie found as low aa at nny other office In the province —Ado, Licensing Board* YTOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT ll| a regular meeting of the Licensing Board for tbo city of New *W.stinln_tcr wilt be held In tbe CITY HAM. on Weil- iit-iluy.
