There is a nice little row between tbe city of Toronto and the C.P.B. Some time since the city decided to reclaim certain low lands along the lake shore, and an agreement was entered into by which the new lake front (the reclaimed land) was to be the property of those who owned the land inside of it—the oity being much tlie largest owner. The city duly applied for its patent, but the issue of this was delayed—it is alleged, by the influence of tho C. P. B. That company then wont to work to expropriate the old lake front which belonged to the city, and if it gets it bofore the city gets its patent for the reclaimed (or partially reclaimed) land, it will, of course, under the agreement, demand that the patent issue in its favor, as the owner of the land immediately behind. It would thus, at very small cost, gobble up a strip i of land whicli has, by the growth and improvement of the city of |*' Toronto, been made about the most valuable in the Dominion. The : civic authorities declare that they will allow neither the company nor .' the government to rob them, and threaten a worse than Manitoba blizzard if the attempt is made. interests of those most intimately concerned, and actual construction proceeded with without unnecessary A slight "coolness" still exists botween tho august civic board of Vancouver aud the municipal counoil of Richmond. It will bo remembered that, several months ago, the "terminal city" solons, without fully realizing the enormity of their offence, but mown} thereto, apparently, by a busty and petulant tern per, administered what was little less than a public slap in the face to the RictuiKimt municipal "fathers," charging thiym, in effect, with breach of faith in the North Arm bridges matter. A* a matter of fact, the Richmond council went, naturally enough, doing their utmost to further tho construe tion of thosu bridges, but the Vancouver aldermen were in a bud humor ou account of vexatious delays, and "took it out." accordingly on the rural body. Our readers will reoall how the offensive Vancouver resolution was received —or rather "not received"—by the justly indignant grangers in council assembled, and how the aforesaid grangers put on their war-boots and pulverized the"tei'minolcity"counoil. This deserved oastigation drew from the puissant aldermen a mildly explanatory and insinuating rejoinder, in which they "deeply regretted"— not their own sins, oh, no!—but the fact that the spikes in the Richmond war-boots were so sharp and the boots themselves so heavy. But the Richmond "fathers," nt their last meeting, according to the report published the other day in this pa per, have no intention of relaxing "a little bit" until the offenders are reduced to a proper and honest frame of mind and meekly "holler 'null'." It iB to be feared that a perfect entente oerdiak will hardly be resumed until all bygones are forgotten in the ultimate completion of the long looked for North Arm bridges. It is satisfactoiy to note that there are "no flies" on our oity counoil in the matter of pushing tha necessary preliminaries to actual work on the streets and park improvements and the water works. A glance at the report of the meeting Wednesday will show that progress is , being made with respect to the former two, and also that engineers have been appointed to prepare the design for the Ooquitlam water works system. The appointments themselves—Messrs. E. A. Wilmot and A. E. Hill, O.E's, being tbe engineers selected for this important work—will be generally approved. j'There was some talk, we believe, of appointing certain outside engineers, .but the council showed their wisdom I* in deciding upon two of our own engineers, who not only reside and have their interests in this city, but whose abilities and standing in every respeot are well known to oar oitizens. Besides the gentlemen in | question have already given considerable study to the various details of the Ooquitlam water works, and are specially qualified to direct their construction through the several stages to a successful iBsue. The ratepayers and the citizens generally have now a guarantee that the water worki will be energetically and intelligently pushed, and in the beat Children Cryfor I In one of her recent letters from London Mrs. Ashton Dilke says: "It is quite 'the thing' now-a-days for our aristocracy to go into trade —not in a backward surreptitious sort of way, but with much self- advertisement, and in the full light of day. Tho hated word whioh twenty years ago filled the refined ear with contempt and loathing is fast losing all its old sting, and everybody knows at least somebody else, 'quite in our own set, I assure you,' who has taken to business of one sort or another. Democracy, women's rights, and, above all, that dearth of ready money which is usually described as 'bad times,' havo ull contributed to the result. The male aristocrats started the movement. For several years the Marquis of Londonderry's coal-carts have perambulated the streets of tbe metropolis bearing his Lordship's name in full; the Earl of Shrewsbury's hansoms are the smartest and swiftest in London, and quite recently the Earl of Coventry has blossomed out into a bona-fide manufacturer of jams and pickles. Sopn the ladies began to follow suit. If lords may sell coals, why should not ladies sell milk 1 And so the Duchess of Hamilton has started a most successful dairy at Ipswich, and no one thinks any the worse of her Grace for doing so; while the Hon. Mrs. Maberly presides over a daintily furnished establishment of a similar nature somewhere in the regions of Notting Hill." Thus one by one the wretched shams and affectations of a past age are dropping off, and necessity and common-sense combined enforce the true dignity of labor for all classes. The time is not far distant when privileged classes themselves will cease to be recognized in the common brotherhood of an intelligent and rational humanity. The English are contemplating an idea to lay down a postal tube (between Dover and Calais. The plan is to suspend two tubes of about a yard eaoh in diameter by means of steel cables across tht channel, forty yards above the level of the sea. The steel cables will be fixed to pillars at distances of about 800 yards, and in eaoh tubo a little railway will run with cars capable of carrying 450 pounds in weight. No parcel of greater weight than this will be taken, and the cost is estimated at the modest figure of $5,- 000,000. Pitcher's Caotorla. Press Despatches. Johnstown, July 3.—The Oonemaugh Valloy is again deluged with water. The ruin whicli began falling last ovening still continues, and mountain streams iu many plaoes aro out of their banks and sweeping things before them. For a timo last night tho rami fall was muoh heavier than that which proceeded tlio breaking of the South Fork dnni antl the terriblo disaster uf May Slat. Workmen on a pile of drift narrowly escaped drowning, and those engaged iu removing the debris from below the bridge were resuoed in bouts at the junction of tho Coneinaugh and Sumy Creek. Two immense iron builers, belonging to the Guiltier Steel Works, were carried away. The terrific lightning frightened the citizens almost out nf tlieir senses, and peals of thunder shook mountains and valleys, causing tlie dead bodieB to como tn tho surface of the water. In the Cono- uiaugh three bodies were caught and several othors floated down with the drift. In Cambria City several houses wero again flooded and five families were compelled to vacate and go to the hill,'. Tho camps occupied by tbe workmen wero also flooded and the men were compelled to remain np all night. Cheyenne, Wyo., Jnly 3.—The smith bound stage coaches from Lander to Rawlins were held up and robbed on Monday near Bougis by three road agents. Mrs. Jones, wife of the Indian agent, and her three children were tho only passengers on the coach. The rubber-, compelled her to give up all her money and valuables and the keys to her trunk. They emptied the trunk, taking the valuables. They then took the mail bags, cut them open and took theregisteredlettersand valuables. They kept tho driver covered with a rcvnlrer until the work of going through the mail was completed, when they disappeared in the darkness. Deputy Sheriff Arent, of Lander, with 20 Shoshone Indians, are ou the trail of the robbers with a chance of catching them. New York, July 3.—The despatches stating that the Northern Pacific intended to issue $15,000,000 in new bonds are confirmed at the office of tho company hero. One of the officials states that the plan for raising tho money to improve the Pacific const property and acquire additional equipment and also to tuke up the Oregon Transcontinental bonds, has been discussed but nothing definite has been decided on. It will probably be in the shape of a collateral trust loan. Lonoon, July 3.—A correspondent of the Times telegraphs from London an interview he had with Senor H. Debarros Gomes, Portuguese ministor of marine nnd of colonies, on the subject of the Delagoa Bay Rail nay con cession. Senor Gomes says that but for the assistance of the government the railway company would have forfeited tho concessions long ago. He declared that the government intended to adhere strictly to the terms of the concession. The government had proposed to England and to America to submit the complaint of the company to arbitration, and neither country had ottered objection lo an arbitration, being upon the basis of a clause iu the concession. Negotiations with Eng-1 land were amicable. Everything was going smoothly at Delagoa Bay, the old employees of the railway company having been retained by the government officials. Paris, July 3.—The ohamber of deputies held another stormy session to-day, the excitement running high on the proposal of the enemies of the government to abolish the secret service fund. All shades of opposition united their forces on this motion, and after much wrangling aud discussion it was finally passed by a vote of 301 to 260. The announcement of the result was tho signal for the wildest demonstrations of joy on tho part of the opposition, while the government s adherents appeared crestfallen. The vote is, however, devoid of the significance whioh the opposition seem disposed to attach to it, as the government did not make the retention of the secret service fund a vital issue, and so do not regard the vote to abolish it as amounting to want of confidence. Dublin, July 3.—The Philadelphia cricketers closed their first inning against Dublin club to-day for 177 runs, Dublin having made 289. Philadelphia in the second innings had made 319 for six wickets, when the play was stopped for the day. London, July 3.—The Massachusetts rifle team shot a match to-day at Bainham with the London Rifle Brigade team. The total score was, Americans, 1,084; Englishmen, 1,007. Pabis, July 3.—Another terrible colliery disaster is reported from the district of St. Etienne. An explosion of fire damp ocourred in one of the pits ln which 300 miners were at work. Their escape was completely cut off, and there is small chance of any of them being rescued alive. So far it is known that 200 of the entombed miners are dead. Pabis, July 4.—A large number of bodies have heen recovered from the coal pit at St. Etienne, where the ex- Slosion of fire damp occurred yester- ay. There is no hope of finding any of the entombed men alive. Cairo, July 4.—Col. Wadehouse has returned to Wada Haifa after completely routing the remainder of the Arab force. Brussels, July, 4.—A teleuram from the governor-general of tlie Congo Free State says that the English Bteamer from Liverpool, gauging 1860, aud loading 2500 tons, wliich left Antwerp on May 8th, has ascended the Congo as far as Matadi. The question as to the selection of Matadi ns a starting point uf the Congo railway is thus decidod. London, July 4.—Lust night the Loudon rifle brigade entertained tbe Massachusetts team at dinner. A large company was present. Major Edward Matthey occupied tho chair /vf-tt'i' local tnris'a hud been proposed und rcspcii'ieii to, tho chairman proposed toasts to tiiu president of the U. S., and the health of the winning team, observing that ho would carry the compnny back about 100 years, the reason being that to-morrow was tke 4th of July, the anniversary, of American independance. They were now associated one with another, in fact, they were now both brothers and not fighting ono against another. London, July 4.—King Humbert and his sou, the Prince of Naples, recently inaugurated the ceremonies attending the work of demolishing 17,- 000 houses and 62 churches in the most thickly settled and most squalid parts uf the city of Naples, where narrow streets, filled with perennial filth, breed pestilence and death. But the real work only began yesterday when nearly twelve thousand laborers wore Bet to work tearing down the filthy old rookeries in the doomed quarter. This improvement it is expected will take four years to complete. Panama, July 4.—The Costa Bicau troops are marching rapidly upon Nicaragua, and a war in which all the Central American republics may become embroiled is expected to broak out at any moment. It is more than possible that the United Statos may interfere to protect tho newly created interests in the Nicaraguan canal. A formidable body of Costa Bican troops are on the frontier. The trouble arises out of the old boundary dispute between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. New Orleans, July 4.—John L. Sullivan and party arrived here to-day. Kilrain ia expected to-morrow. Charleston, S. C, July 4.—The Manchester Ship Canal Company of England has bought the extensive Appleton property, consisting of wharves, elevators, etc., at Port Boyal. It is supposed they will run ships to Port Boyal from England to carry phosphates and lumber from the interior. St. Paul, July 4.—An offer of $65,- 000 has been made by Bobt. Bonner, of New York, for the Minnesota trotter, Axtell, who yesterday made a mile in 2:151, breaking the record for three year olds. Tho offer was refused. Ottawa, July 4.—Civil Engineer B. E. Paulin has returned from Brazil where he went in the intereat of a syndicate of Canadian and American capitalists to report on a vast railway project to open the south eastern section of Brazil. It is also proposed to place a fleet of stoamers on one of the rivers, and establish steam communication botween Para, New York and Montreal. London, July 4.—The Massachusetts rifle team won another victory today, this time defeating the Sussex Volunteer loam at Brighton by a total score of 988 to 910. The Volunteers scored 328 at the 200 yards' range to the Americans' 316, but at the 500 and 600 yards the Englishmen fell behind. The day was fine but there was a strong wind. London, July 4.—General Boulanger was present at the garden party at Marlborough house to-day and met the queen, the Prince of Wales, the ] shah and many others of England's most notable people. There was a large and brilliant company. The shah, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family, drove to the Empire theatre in the ovening, where a mixed programme was provided for his entertainment. The decorations of the theatre were most superb in honor of the shah and were provided by Banker SaBBoim at his own expense. Boston, July 4.—The programme of the city government for the celebration of the 4th was practically the same as in former years. The principal event of the day was the rowing regatta on Charles river. The professional single skull race was three miles, rowed by Teemer, Plaisted aud Kennedy, McKay, Teneyckand P. B. Conley. Teemer had the inside position and led from the start to the finish. The contest for second place was between McKay, Conley and Tone- yck, the latter finally getting the place with McKay third and Conley fourth. Trainer's time was 21:58. The second race for professional local icullers, three miles, among W. F. Conley, J. J. Casey, Samuel J. Murphy ana J. M. Casey, wu won by J. J. Casey, Conley second. In the third race for four-oared working boats, three miles, for amateurs, the Bradford crew fin- 'shed first in 21;02; West ends, second; and Ereretts third. The amateur junior sculling race, three miles, was won by M. J. Coleman in 25:12: W. A. Paulson, second. The Bradfords won the eight-oar shell race for amateurs, H miles, in 8 minutei; Shaw- mutts, seoond; Crescents third. The last race for the four oared working boats, 3 miles, waa won by the West end crew, composed of Hosmer, Teenier, McKay and Breen, in 20:04; the Shawmuts, composed of J. J. Casey, J. M. Casey, Patrick and William Oonley, wero second. Mickalls defeated Protta by twelve lengths. New York, July 5.—The Mail and Express London coi'rt'spondenco tays there can bo no question about the popularity of the Prince of Wnlea with the masses. He is greeted with applause wherever he shows himself, and the mere announcement that he is to be at a certain place at a certain time draws a crowd. An instance of this occurred recently. The Times and some of the old daily papers printed a couplo of lines to the effect that the prince would lunch with the Lord Mayor of L-'tidoh. It was on Saturday. As I passed down from tho Bank of England 1 saw a great crowd in front of the Mansion Houso. It was almost impossible for busses or carriages to proceed through lhe streets. A big forco of London hoodies tried tu keep the crowd in order, and every window in the neighborhood had its occupant. The crowd had stood in front of the Mansion House tin hour previous to the prince's arrival. Whon he alighted from his carriage he was greeted with cheers, and for three hours the crowd sweltered in the hot sun until lunch was over, and the prince drove off amid great cheering. London, July 5.—Senor Candida D'Moras, who was referred to in a letter to the Times on Mondny last as the lending spirit in the syndicate which has been formed for the purpose of acquiring the possession of the Delagoa railway, declares that the whole story is a wilful fabrication, and that the enterprise in question is purely commercial in its nature. Although he is a peer of Portugal, ho has, he says, no political influence whatever, and has been in no sense a go-between for the Portuguese snd Transvaal governments. He admits that a syndicate haB been formed, but asserts it is a perfectly fair and honest piece of business, without any prejudice to the English or any other people. London, July 5.—The Governor of Tripoli has issued a decree abolishing the slave trade, and imposing severe penalties on any one engaging in it. Pabis, July 5.—The Sieele denies that M. Queenay D'Beaurpaire, pro- cureur-general, has refused to prosecute Gen. Boulanger snd iB about to resign. The same paper deniea also that dissensions have arisen iu the cabinet, and M. Thevenet, minister of justice, intends to resign. A credit of 200,000 francs was voted yesterday by the chamber of deputies for the relief of sufferers by the* mine disaster at St. Etienne. Wharves and works of the new harbor at Dunkfrke will be inaugurated next month. It is expected M. Gu- yott, minister of public works, and possibly President Carnot will be present. London, July 5.—In the third heat of the race for the diamond sculls, at Henley, to-day, Nicholls, the English oarsman, easily defeated Protta, the American amateur champion. Protta had already wen first and second heats, defeating Small in the second heat yesterday. London, July 5.—The Parnell commission is expected to adjourn next month, London, July 5.—The Emperor William landed at Nordheionsund, Norway, yesterday. Adair, Iowa, June 5.—Seventy-five people were seriously poisoned yesterday by eating ice cream which was made in vessels that had not been properly cleaned. Several will die, and all are suffering badly. Ellbnsburo, W. T., July 5.—At 11 p. m. a fire broke out in J. S. Anthony's grocory on Main st, between Fourth and Fifth streets, and fanned by a brisk west wind rapidly destroyed the whole business portion of Ellens- burg with the exception of the first National Bank and the Lynch block. The fire is now spreading among the residences in the southeastern part of the city. The streets are crowded with teams and drays moving goods to places of safety. The water supply is inadequate, and there is nothing but a hand engine with which to fight the flames. There have been no fatalities nor has any one been injured so far as is known. About 14 blocks were destroyed. The loss cannot fall short of 91,000,000. The burned district is bounded on the east by Sprague st, on the west by the wator and extends from Fifth to Second streets. The fire is under control at the present time and there is no danger of it spreading further. The citizens are organizing for the protection of their property. Dubuque, la., July 5.—At ten o'clock last night a wreok occurred on the Chicago, St Paul and Kansas City Road, about two miles north of this oity. The Grand army had been holding a picnic at Twin springs, a resort on the road above named, about thirteen miles from Dubuque. Over 5,000 people were in attendance and trains were being run every hour to and from the grounds. The accommodations of the railroad oompany consisted of two pasienger coaches, two stock cars provided with seats, and nine cabooses, ln these cars 5,000 poople were transported to the grounds and wero being brought home again when the accidont occurred. The excursion train had just landed 1200 people in thia city, and was returning for the remainder of the crowd, which coniiited of about 2,000 men, women and children, when it collided with a freight tram en. roufe for Dubuque. Only the most meagre particulars are obtainable, the railroad officials being extremely reticent about furnishing information, A large number of people en tho excursion train were going up (o pasB a few hours in tho resort, intending to return on a late train, and it is believed that many were killed. New York, July 5.—Frank Hoyt, paying teller of the first National bank of Hoboken, was arrested to-day at the instance of the officers of the bank. Hnytis charged with beitw a defaulter to the extent of §18,000. Providence, R. I., July 5.—Tho Goodyear Rubber Co., assigned to-day. Tho attachments placed on them by Sears Commercial Company on Satur- wiia followed up to-day until $716,000 worth of attachments swamped them. Buffalo July 5.—"Wiihg Jung, the Chinaman who kept a iiimdary in the rear of 96 Swan street, was found dead in his shop this morning with a bullet hole over his eye. Death must must have resulted instantly. No clue to the perpetrators of tho crime. New Haven, Conn., July fi.— Hon. Geo. S. Watson, ox-president of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railway, died suddenly this morning at fire o'clock, at his residence in this city. FROM VICTORS, Special to the Columbian. Victoria, Juue 4.—Quite a number from here went to Port Townsend (his morning to particiapte in the celebration of the Fourth of July. The Victoria theatre was crowded laat night to see Lily Clay's Gaiety Ca. Shiny nobs were very prominent A heavy gale has been blowing for the last 24 hours and has delayed steamers somewhat. The sealing schooner Mary Taylor returned to port yesterday to obtain canoes. She lost all her canoes, 8 in number, in a heavy- gale on the 13th of Jnne. She will sail as soon as possible for Behring Sea. The Yosemite took the Islander's place thiB morning. The Islander on her return will go into the dry-dock to receive an overhauling, the Yosemita continuing on the Vancouver route until the Islander is ready. The British Columbia Ice Manufacturing and Fish Freezing Co. commenced work yesterday. The its* ■ promises to be of good quality. At 2:25 p.m. the fine residence ot Mr. Jacob Sehl, situated on Laurel . Point, at the entrance to the harbor, was discovered to be on fire. The fire, by hard work, was kept confined to one of the wings until the arrival of the firemen when it was soon quenched. There was a heavy gale blowing, and had the tire gained control of the house, it would also have swept away Sehl's furniture factory, situated alongside. The amoiit of damage is unknown. The steamers Islander and Olympic were to leave Port Townsend at 6 p.m. and have a trial of speed to Victoria. It is blowing a heavy gale outside, however, and the straits aro very rough, so it is doubtful if the race will take place. Accident to Ihe Yt'nlla Walla. The steamer Walla Walla while leaving the V. C. Co.'s coal wharf on Monday evening, became unmanageable and collided with the ship Carrol- lton. Very little damage was done although she carried away the jibboon of tho Carrollton and stove two of her own boats, smashed one side of tho pilot house and damaged a good deal of fancy work on her side. The Walla Walla is difficult to handle with a slow head of ateam on and the accident was not attributable to carelessness on the part of any of the officers or crew. The Walla Walla was seen later proceeding down the gulf and steering wildly at that time.—Courier. Okanagon Mines. The quarts mines at Okanagon an still being developed. The Discovery claim hnve a shaft down 65 feet, and have also run in a tunnel. It is said that they received an offer to bond their mine for a high figure, but failed to conclude because they wanted too heavy a forfeit deposit Numerous claims have been located in the vicinity. They can be ridden to from the waggon road. The discovery of gold on Siwash Creek at the head of Okanagon Lake has attracted about 150 men, and mora are coming in every day.. From aa ounce to two ounces per day per mau is being taken out. The diggings ate shallow, about four feet to bed -rock. Considerable excitement was caused through the Indians objecting to miners working claims on the Indian reservation. J. A. Mara, M. P., was appealed to by telegram by several of the miners headed by Price Ellison, and gave it as his opinion that tha whites were actinic within their rights. The lower part of the oreek, supposed to be the best. runs through about two miles of tha Indian reserve. The Indians did not desire to mine themselves, and ah* wished to prevent the whites from so doing, a case of aboriginal dog in the manger. Siwash Oreek is but fourteen miles from Vernon and can be ridden or driven to. Another oieek now being prospected is aaid lo be as rick sa SiwaBh.—t'oioiMs*. VOLUME S4.

Of course, if the Canadian supreme court should declare in favor of disallowance, the question will probably be carried by "the otlier side" to the "highest court in the empire;" but hardly more important questions have gone the same road before with satisfactorily final results, and there is no good reason why the Jesuits' estate act should not answer as to its constitutionality before the bar of the supreme court of the Dominion at any rate, without further delay or shifting. ■ :-.

When the matter came before the SDominion parliament last spring, • <Sb -will be rivalled that high consti- ■Bitional ground was taken by the ■■government 'leaders and the great " Majority of the rank and file of both political parties in the house, this .'being the basis, too, of the opposition fa -disallowance expressed by all the --.Conservative and a number of othor "eyurnals. As everyone knows, only thirteen out of the whole house were ' .found to vote disallowance of the .Jesuits' estates aot when the ques- - (ion finally came to a division. •-. The irerita'ion since that has for its -""femute point and object the, submission of the disputed act to tho : supreme court, of the Dominion, so .•ifcat the question of its constitution- .*lity may be authoritatively and ira- jpartially settled by a competent tri- *»inwl. The Dominion authorities, «ad particularly Sir John Thompson, aiinister of justice, nre very loth to .-accede to this quite reasonable demand, for the reason, it would appear, that, if the court found against tiie constitutionality of the measure, (Hie government would be placed in tan "awkward position" and that the burden of actual disallowance would fell upon its shoulders instead of on the court's. The- ileiiiniid. however, ... ;is eminently reasonable, mul within Under the Dominion electoral franchise act and amendments, the revision of voters for the Dominion elections takes place this year, the revising officers beginning their duties on or as soon as possible after the first of June, the first work in order being the comparing of the last revised list with the last assessment rolls. The work has boen already commenced by the revising officer for this electoral district, Mr. A. J. McObll, and everyone, both in the city and district, should take a lively interest in seeing that their own and neighbors' names are properly registered. Section 33 of the amendment act of 1886 provides that the various municipal assessment rolls shall be taken as evidence of those whose names are entitled to be ontered on the revising lists, <:with all the information that he (the revising officer) can obtain from that or any other source." Tho first and the last revision under the aot, as most of our readers will recollect, was held in 1S86, and the increase of persons qualified to vote under the act must be very large since that date. No one who is qualified should fail to take advantage of his right to have his name entered on the revised lists, which are in course of preparation, and which according to the act, must be certified and published not later than the first day of September, and finally revised and certified and published not later than the first of November. The qualification under the franchise act, as is gener- all known, is quite comprehensive, embracing nearly every male white person in this province, being twenty-one years of age and a British subject by birth or naturalization under one or other of the following heads: Property owners in oities (to the value of §300) towns ($200), villages ($150), townships ($150); income ($300 per annum); sons of farmers; sons of persons owning and occupying real estate In cities and towns; tenants of any real property who have paid one year's rent at as high a rate as $2 per month, or an annual rental of $20; tenants renting any property assessed high enough to qualify the owner as a voter; fishermen owning land or personal proporty of the value of $150. In addition to the above qualifications, every person in this province who, under the special provisions of the act applying to British Columbia and Prince Edward Island, registered as a "provincial voter" on the last revised Dominion list will continue to be qualified to vote, without any other qualification, so long as his qualification as a provincial voter continues. The Columbian has already called attention to the fact of the revision of the Dominion voters' lists this year; but, considering the general disposition to carelessly overlook or supinely neglect the important duty of com- couipleting one's qualification for exercising the franchise, it would be an excellent idea if a number of patriotic persona in this city and in the various polling divisions throug- out tho district would make it their special business to see that everyone who is otherwise qualified gets his name on the revised voters' list. Vancouver is already "looking alive" in this matter. If the royal city doesn't hustle, it will get left, The great fight is over, and the magnificent muscles of that fine animal, John L. Sullivan, have once more been proved invincible. As usual, the prohibition of prize fighting failed to prohibit. Prohibition in the case of prize fighting is evidently a mistake. The authorities ought to encourage the practice, only insisting that every fight shall be literally "to a finish," That is, that the battle shall continue until one of the fighters is dead, and the victor shall be immediately elevated (by the neck)to the exalted position towhich his achievement entitles him. This would effectually und for ever settle the question which was tho better man, nnd would at, the same time embalm the fiune of the victor in tho memory of a grateful people. A third Clause providing for the honoring of all actively engaged in encouraging the light by Baluting them with three volleys (of ball cartridge) would lenve little to bo desired. It would appear that some dissat- isfation has existed with the action of the council in appointing two engineers instead of one to prepare plans, etc., for submission to the council and an expert. Whether any of this dissatisfaction was interested or not, it was certainly founded on misapprehension or ignorance of the truo facts and circumstances of the case and the good reasons the council had for their well considered appointments in the premises. A perusal of the council report, and particularly of Alderman Curtis' explanation and Alderman Cunningham's remarks on the subject, will convince anyone that the council did not act altogether unadvisedly in the course they pursued, but in the best interests of those whom they Berve—the people. Time is admitted by all to be a very essential feature to have in viow in the con struction and completion of the water works. Indeed the cases are rare where time gained—especially at no additional expense—is not a very desirable acquisition in any publio work. Alderman Curtis, with hiswell known penchant for "figgers," put up, last night, a little "exercise" in the "rule of three" which makes it us plain as the nose on a man's face, and that, too, without inducing any extra perspimtion this warm woather, that it givon necessnry amount of preliminary work in connection with the water works will be done in half the time by two men that it could be accomplished by one, and, of course, without additional expense. What more could the most censorious or finnicky ratepayer ask 1 Long live a council that conducts its public works in that way, we say. A Large I'autller. Last Friday morning Mr Salmond shot a magnificent panther, measuring 7 feet in length, after the voracious brute had succeeded in demolishing one of his calves and nearly killing two others. No wonder that wheu skinned the animal was found to have a lining of fat on the breast which would hare done no discredit to a prize Berkshire. If we could manage to extirpate these destructive "felines" by presenting some testimonial to each of our neighbors, who succeeded in killing one of them, we might then manage to "go in for" sheep-breeding with some chance of aucceas. As It is at present, what with dogs, panthers, wolves, etc., this, the most profitable of all the farmers' resources is all but totally denied at.—Courier. Bflirlng'K Sed.

It haa been hanging lire much too long, and it will never do to let the Americans imagine that so littlo interest is takon in the matter that it is not likely to become what they would cull a "live" question. The Britiah Columbians are getting rather Bore at the way in which it is being handled, and in Ottawa it is an open secrot that the question has been receiving the attention of tho government. The Americana have really not a leg to stand on, as when Ituasia many years ago took the same ground us they are now taking themselves, thoy repudiated tho doctrine in no uncertain manner.—Colonies aud India. A curious custom prevails, it is said, among the inhabitants of the Sandeman Islands. When a nativo girl, who has had a number of suitors, is carried of by her accepted lover, the wedded pair, within 48 hours of the wedding, send a cup of poison distilled from tho halulula tree, to each of tho bride's former admirers. If any of the recipients feel that they cannot becomo reconciled to the marriage, thoy drink the poison and die; but if they decide that tlstry will survive tho loss of their intended wife, they throw away the poison, and feel bound in honor never to show the slightest sign of disappointment. By this system tho husband is able to livo on friendly terms with tho surviving admirers of his wifo. Children Cryfor Pitcher'sCastoria RICHMOND BY-LANS.

A Winnipeg despatch of Saturday says: A sudden and unexpected shock was given to many of our citizens last night by the announcement that tho Hon. John Norquay, M. P. P., and ex-premier, was doad. Very fow had even heard that ho was ill, for his sick- ness was of very short duration, but was a sovero one. The ex-premier was takon ill last Thursday night with pains in the abdomen. A physician was called in, but nothing serious was anticipated until last niglit when ho was found to bo rapidly sinking. All that it was possible to do under the circumstances for the patient's relief was done, but owing to his extremely weak stato tho efforts of his physicians wero unavailing and at 9:30 ho passed quietly away. Mr. Norquay waa born in Manitoba in 1841 and since 1870 has beon conneoted with the government of the provinco. His death will be a great blow to tho conservative party of Manitoba and tho Northwest, with whom he was exceedingly popular. Towards tho end Mr. Norquay evidently realised he was dying and made some settlement regarding tho welfare of his family. The doctors aro of the opinion that his doath was caused by a fatty degeneration of the heart. The deceased, as already Btated, was a nativo of Manitoba and was recognized as a Scotch half-breed. From his youth towards manhood he was a bright young man and an apt scholar. He received his education at St, John's Academy under Bishop Anderson whero he won a scholarship iu 1854, when 13 years of age, Ho waa brought up in thoparishof St. Andrews and followed tho avocation in farming. In 1862 he married Elizabeth, second daughter of George Setter, of Poplar Point, some 30 miles west of Winnipeg. John Norquay was oarly destined to becomo a publio man. During tho troublous times of 1869-70 his discussions of the affairs of his native province—then known as the Red Rivor Valley—which was extremoly moderate, brought hiin into notico. Ho managed to secure nnd for many years maintained tho confidence of both parties. On the formation of the first cabinet after the purchaso by Cnnnda of the Northwest, Mr. Norquay -- Police Court.

Iu Maroh, 1875, he was again sworn in as a member of tho govornmont aB provincial secretary, which office ho held until May, 1876, whon ho was appointed minister of publio works. In October, 1878, iu connection with Mr, Joseph Royal, Mr. Norquay formed a now government in which the deceasod occupied tho position of premier and provincial treasurer. A reorganization of tho cabinet took placo in 1879, when a coalition govornment was formed, in whioh were Messrs. Biggs and Taylor audDelormo.

London, July 5.—Before the Parnell commission to-day Mr. Davilt oponed his own case by culling to stand Mr. Loudon, formerly member of the commons for Mayo. Mr. Davitt questioned him as to tho periodical famines in Mayo. The witness said tboy were duo entirely tu tho system of rack rents. He insisted tliat tho Mayo branch of the land league hud never voted a single farthing to foment crime. The murders of Lynen, Hudd and Kavanagh were the work of tho herds league, un organization part of whoso policy wns the shooting of herds belonging to land leaguers. Witness said he hud never informed the authorities of tho3o facts, although he had frequently denounced tho herds league in public. His reason for nut giving tho authorities the information he possessed us to the authors was that ho did not wisli lo put himself on the level with Informers. POLITICAL NOTES. London, July 5.—Lord Randolph Churchill has definitely determined to stand for central Birmingham, local conservatives refusing to obey the dictates of the central authority, who desired that John Albert Bright might be permitted to retain liis scat as a liberal-unionist. This action on tbo partof Lord Randolph and his supporters is likely to cause much troublo for the conservative managers, as tho unionists will probably rebel if ono of their number is displaced by a eon- servativo in contravention of the distinct understanding thnt bo was not to be opposed. Many shrewd political observers see in this incident tho rock upon which tho presont government is destined to go to pieces. The Dover liberals have nsked Sir HerculeB Robinson to stand iu tho election to fill the Dixon vacancy. It is probablo that Sir Hercules will consent. Lord Salisbury's withdrawal of tho land transfer bill is duo to his fear that it would bo defeated in its final passage. This is in lino with tho pulicy which tho toricB have heen pursuing all through thiB session. Thoy present elaborate schemes of legislation pasa them through tbo initial stagos in parliament far enough to be able to form un estimate as to tho opposition thoy aro likely to develop, and then, at tho lirst sign of danger, Ihoy igno- miuonsly run away, abandoning their convictions but holding on to oflico. Clover Valley Scliool. swear I did not misunderstand Paul. Mr. MoColl, for tho prosecution, nnd Mr. Gaynor, for tho defense, addressed the court, Mr. McColl suggesting tho advisability of holding the accused to bail instead of sending him up for trial. His honor concurred with this, and hold Dominy in $1,500 personal surety and threo sureties of feoOO eaoh to appear trial at tho noxt assizes. for Tlio examination of tho Clover Valloy school was held on tlie 28th ult., in the presenco of Trustees A. Murphy, J. McCalliiin und Georgo Boothroyd and a goodly numbor of visitors. Tno examination reflected grout credit both on tho part of the teacher, J. A. McLean and pupils. In deportment twelvo pupils received ovor ninety- fivo por cent., and of theso six obtained 100 per cent. The rolls of honor were awarded to Masters John McCallum for deportment, S. W. Booth- royd for proficioncy, nud Thomas D. Shannon for punctuality nud regularity. Badges were ulso presented lo thoso who obtained ovor 96 per cent. At tho closo uf tho examination Trustees Murphy und Boothroyd complimented teachor nnd pupils upon tho excellent progress mado and hoped all wuuld enjoy thoir well earned holidays.

Piaster Floors.—A now process for hardening plaster Paris, making that substanco suitable for flooring purposes, has been communicated to the French Academy of Sciences by Jl. Julte. The plaster is mixed with one-sixth of its weight of line, freshly-slaked lime, nnd used with as little water as possible. After bocoming thoroughly dry, it is treated with a saturated solution of either zinc sulphate or iron sulphate. With the first the hardened plaster remains whito, while tbe second, by gradual oxidation, yields the color of iron rust, which gives n fine imitation of mahogany under an application of linseed oil. PlIOTOBRAl'HIC PpOdNOSTlt'ATION. —The disaster to the war-ships stationed at Apia lias reminded Mr. H. E, Gunther of the theory of Dr. /"enger, of Prague, who suggested the use of photography in weather prediction. Photographs of the sun are claimed to oft'er almost infallible indication of atmospheric and subterranean disturbance at least 24 hours in advance. The photographs often show rings about the sun, and when these rings aro unusually large and heavy, violent storms, thunder-storms or magnetic disturbances will soon be experienced. The establishment of a photographic observatory at every ships' station is urged. An Interesting Product—Ox- alo-molydic acid is a new substance, possessing peculiar, properties, which has been discovered by M. Pochard, a French chemist,1' When dry the crystals may be preserved unchanged without special precautions, but if moist they quickly become colored on sunlight. Characters written on paper with the solution remain invisible in a weak .light, but turn to deep indigo in the sun's rays though tho solution itself is practically unaffected. A sheet of paper dipped in tho solution and dried in the dark, will give a very sharp blue print when exposed behind a photographic negative. Water instantly bleaches the color so that a moist pen may be made to write in white on blue paper. Gentle heat, however, changes the blue to black, and fixes the color. Great Waste-Spots—The Sahara Desert, according to Mr. Joseph F. James, is a diversified area 3100 miles long by 600 wide. Summer is its only season, its days Scorching, its nights cold. Its soil is chiefly gravel and coarse sand. Its oases enable caravans to cross it, although much of the area is otherwise waterless and destitute of alll vegetation and animal life. The Desert of Gobi, the Asiatic Sahara, is moro than 1800 miles long and 500 wide. It is a plateau 5000 feet high, a wasto of sand and rock, with few oases, and only live tree in a distanoe of 500 miles. Ice forms nearly every night, and the temperature often fulls to 30 ° or 40 ° below zero. The interior of Australia rivals these two great deserts, and is the most terrible of all to travellers on account of its heat and the lack It continues about a hnlf- ilos, nnd the north- of water, million square in orn part is almost cntirly destitute of vegetation. The Arabian Desert is a sandy waste of about 50,000 square milos, dotted here and there with a fow stunted bushes or dwarfed palms, A characteristic of this and other Asiatic deserts is the suffocating simoon. A large part of Persia is a desert tract, in which vegetation is so rare that onn may travel 300 miles and seo only one tree. Herji tho salt desert, with a porous crusted surface, extends 100 miles in length by half as much in width. In South America tho Puna extends for 350 Spanish miles in length at nn elevation of 12,000 feet. A brown grass covers the ground, thero are but few trees, and a single tuberous plant can nlono be cultivated. Animal lifo is comparatively abundant. Another desert of Peru—now partially subdued by man and crossed by a railroad—stretches 1200 miles along tho Pacific, from 8 to 50 miles wide. Tho Great American Desert of tho United States is a basin region of many hundred's of square mile3 of rock, sand and alkali, with a growth of sage brush and a little animal lifo. Dcspornlo Cliancos Taken in an Operation on linilly-lJuriHMl ISyos—How a Ntttv York Surgeon SuccoodoU in Uittiv- in.t> Now Litis. Among ali the operations that, a surgeon is called on to perform there is none tliat requires more skill, nerve and sound judgment than thoso in which lho eye is treated, writes a New York coiTOspoiidentof tin- Bt. Louis Globe-Democrat, Tho eye is sui-lt tin important factor in human life anil Hit- loss is attended with so much misery and despair, that surgeons arc impressed with the responsibility, and particularly so, ay the slightest slip of the knife may dash a person into eternal darkness. Tbero is the caso of Annio Morgan, ol' Litis city, tho daughter of a wealthy citizen, Bho is about sixteen years old, and was a boauty, rich and rare, until Iter face was disfigured by an accident. Bho was of a studious dis position, and used to hum the midnight oil steadily in hei-room. Loud, piercing screams awakened tlto whole Morgan household several mouths ago. They came from Annie's room in the middle of tho night, and it was thought that burglars had rffiulo thoir pearanco. Everybody rushed there tuul found a bright llainu on tho floor from an overturned and broken lamp. There were groans coming from a pile of clothing on tho bed, nnd wheo a big quilt was unrolled Annie was found with her clothing badly burned and tho upper part of her body livid and with big blisters in many places. Sho hat! upset tiic lamp in some way. und the burning oil had been thrown over her. Bho retained her presence of mind, and, instead of fanning the flame by running around, she. wrapped herself in a quilt and smothered the flame. Tliis undoubtedly savedher life. A physician was summoned at once and Annie was removed to another room. The charred clothing was cut away with cure, so as not to disturb the elevated epidermis, ami the whole burned surface oftho body was washed hi a solution of creosote and water and then was covered with oil and a thick layer of cotton. Her face was greatly swollen, mid she was in a comatose condition: tho eyelids wero raised, and it was seen thnt her eyes had not suffered as much as the surrounding tissue. This was undoubtedly due to tho fact that Annie, being nearsighted, hud on a pair of glasses, and theso protected tho eyeballs frcintheii est burst of the flame uud frying oil. If sho had beon withoiitthc glasses both eyes would certainly have been destroyed, and even as it was their condition was bad onough. Her face was bathed in a soothing ointment and thon wrapped in cotton so arranged us to exclude the au* from evory part oxcept ou a lino with the mouth and nostrils. Burns wheu extensive aro not only vory dangerous, but uro slow to heal at all. Alternate hopo and fear wore thoonlyoutcomoof tho patient's condition for weeks. Tho worst part of tho wound was around tho eyes, anil special attention was paid to keeping tho pus Irom getting into them and preventing inflammation. The sight iu the eye was not normal, but this was duo to the disturbance in tho retina from inflammation rather thau to auy permanent do- feet in tho eyes. After a long, patient and hard struggle tho proper combination of internal and external remedies was discovered, and the condition was slowly Improved, and finally tho ulcers healed. The effect of tho burn was horrible. Tho lower part of tho faco was in fair shape, and timo and cure would wipe out tiic irregularities and leave little deformity, but tho upper part would draw a sympathetic tear from a stone. The upper and lower eyelids on both eyes, under the Influence of the poison in tho tissuo, had sloughed away. Such a desperate stato of affairs led tho doctor to take dosperato chances. Ho waited until tho paitent had recovered strength and thon began the work of making now oyolids. He started on tlio right cyo first, which was ia the worst condition, as only a slight portion of each lid remained. Cocaine was applied to the eyo nnd neighboring tissue until it became insensible. A slight portion of the flesh of the upper Ud was mado raw by scraping. A pieco of tissue was cut from tho patient's arm, just largo enough to lit tho raw edge, and was quickly applied to it. It was only a small strip, but it speedily settled the fact that the flesh would tako root, and in a few days it had united naturally. The next step in tho operation was to dissect a flap from tho buck of tho right arm, near the wrist, leaving one end of tho tissue intact. The arm was raised to tho level of tho eye, and, while it was firmly hold, was united to tlie upper lid with two sutures. Small strips of adhesive plaster wero also applied to strengthen tho union, and larger pieces and blindages woro used to hold tho arm firmly in position. Tho pationt had to bo watched constantly to prevent her from getting relief from the awkward situation by lying on her arm. "When the arm becamo numb electricity was used to sliinuhito tho circulation of tho blood. Antiseptic dressings were applied frequently to tho wound, and in two weeks the union had become strong onough to permit tho flap to bo severed. The eye was kept moist all tlio time with castor oil, aud tho new flesh was raised by small ivory supports.t Tho pationt remained in good health, nnd tho left oyo was operated upon. Thoro was no preliminary test usod, and after the upper lid hnd been prepared a flap whieh had been cut from tho loft arm was joined to it with sutures und bandages. "Whito this wns becoming united the new lid on tho right cyo was trimmed to tho right size, drawn down at tho corners and made fust at tho outer and inner angles. The left lid made a moro rapid union, und in ten days the arm was released. This lid was ulso trimmed nnd fitted into position. Tho wound licnled splendidly, and was very encouraging. At the end of a month tlio entire tissuo was covered with un unbroken membrano. Another flap was made on tho right arm, when the inflammation hud subsided, and attached to the under lid. This also made a good union, and tho flap was severed in about ten duys. Work was begun upon tho other eye in.a few days. This part of Ihe operation was very troublesome, as tho edges of the ficsl, were not properly nd justed by reason of the patient jerking'.ior head from pain. Thero was considerable sloughing, but in time the wound became healthy and tho flesh united, The under eyelids wore shaped to meet the upper ones and woro sutured. Careful Watching pvoventod an accumulation of pus nnd the tissuo healed rapidly. After they became toughened un opening was mado in the lower eyelids into tho littlo tear ducts, which woro kept dilated by a small bone drain tubo about tho size of a needle. Enough fluid was discharged from tho lids to keep tho eyes moist, This-was considered remarkable, as tho little glands wore almost totally destroyed. Tho patient is now nblo to move the litis with tho muscles tlf the forehead and ehcelr, and this gives nn odd expression to her face. Her sight, is good, and when sho has glasses on the do- formity win not bo noticed oxcopt ou close inspection, and the lids servo all the purposes cf thoso that wsro destroyed.

She did su, and to lier great surprise found the husband laid out oil a table with a white sheet thrown over him. She was much moved by the sight, and pulling out her purse gave tho "widow" several dollars iu small change. After leaving the house the lady discovered that slio had forgotten her handkerchief and returned to get it. Upon re-entering tho room she was shocked to sec tho "dead man" sitting up counting the money.

Americans at home and abroad should feel proud of tho "American Sabbath." It is one of our most precious institutions, and though it bus been vigorously attacked of lute years by hostile foreign influence, the reaction is now setting in whicli cannot fail to overwhelm its opponents, if Americans remain truo to themselves and to the best interests of thoir country. The German Emperor took a novel method recently of dealing with a tardy tinny ullicitil, One of the regulations of the aervice ro-' quires that ull huiiils -shall vbo in readiness for any possible maiueuver lit G a.m. The emperor took it into his head one morning recently to visit, the barracks of a regiment of dragoons, lie found the men all ready at tlie proper hour, but the commanding ollicor did not arrive till at least, half an hour later. When he found that ho had kept, the emperor waiting he felt sure that nothing but immediate disgrace awaited him, All day ho waited in fear for the news of his disgrace, but ho heard nothing until evening. Then a small parcel was handed to liim from liis majesty. Opening it with great, trepidation, the trembling ollicor found therein 'an alarm clock, Only that and nothing more! The deposed King of Uganda, who, according to Mr. Ashe, had nbout <10,- 000 fighting men under his command beforo he was hurled from power, is now eating the bread of the Arabs in Tabora, far on tbo road to Zanzibar, When the fit soizod him Mwanga used to abuse the Arabs at his court as violently as the missionaries.

Tho Buffalo Courier says:—Tho ever delighted "Traverner" in the Boston Post opens a contest in bad English by citing as a masterpiece a remark made by a well-dressed, pleasant-looking man to an older acquaintance in a public place, which ran exactly as follows:— "You ain't so lleshy ns you was, be youl" After remarking that the only words rightly employed in the whole sentence are "you," "so," and "as," "Traverner" says he thinks of offering a reward for a verbal gem equal to this one. Well, thero is tho old ono said to have been uttered by some children who were told that their mother was calling them: "Hor ain't a-calling wo; us don't belong to she." However tho Courier does not vouch for tho actual occurrence of the incident. Beside these, the historic remark of tho secretary of agriculture in regard to the Milwaukee riot, "I seen my duty, and I done it," pales its ineffectual fires. Frank Sheldon whilo riding his bicycle on Calumet avenue, Chicago, just as the children were coming from sohool, discovered that his dog had gone mad. Ho sprang to tho ground, seized the snapping, gnashing beast between the shoulders and was on his wheel before the peoplo, watching in terrified helplessness, knew what he was doing. Once on he fairly flew up the avenue, past tho children, holding the dog at arm's length, while it howled in agony, making every effort to bite him, Ho" turned from the avenue into Bay street, hoping to escape the children, but ran into another group of them; Mrs. N. G. Bartlett saw him and comprehended the situation; she opened her door and screamed to Sheldon to bring tho dog into her front hall. He did so, still keeping bis grip till Mrs. Bartlett brought a cloth saturated with chloroform and held it over tho dog's mouth till ho died.

London, July 6.—A dispatch from Vienna this evening states that a very uneasy feeling prevails in the Austrian capital owing to the more decidedly pro-Russian attitude of the Servian ministry, which is undoubtedly due to the recent suspension of the ordinary passports for Servia, and the suppression of the Kassova commemoration by tho Hungarian and Bosnian governments. Herr Hengel Mullock, Austrian minister at Belgrade, has informed his government that the majority of tbe Progressist leaders, the only friends Austria had in Servia, have now adopted tho liberal or pro- Russian views, but he states that this is due more to the rejection of their demand to make Bosnia an autouomus kingdom under Milan, thau to the Kassova incident. The Russian view of the illegality of the Belgian government is being maintained by the Servians. The proposed reduction of the Servian standing army has been abandoned and instead battalions are being rapidly increased, a polioy, whioh before the Kassova incident, would have upset the Servian ministry, as the Sealants previously desired the re- uotion of the regular army and had the promise of the regents that such a policy would be pursued in diplomatic circles. In Belgrade very little doubt now prevails that Ihe military convention between ServiaandRussla haa been ratified. Here in London the roport was published on Monday that the German officers in the Chinese service had resigned, to which the information is added to-day that some of them aro already tn route for home servico, which is looked upon as a more ominous indication than any of the other recent occurrences, Vienna, July 8.—Itis reported here fifty Russian military officers have palled Braila, Roumania, en route down the Danube to Servia.

London, July 8.—Mr. Howard Vincent's quostion regarding Tupper's proposal for an imperial convention was down in the house of commons for tliis evening, but wns postponed until July 22nd, doubtless at the requeBt nf the government.

Byrne, member i<f parliament for West Wicklow, declared he had never been in Waterfurd in his life, therefure he could not have made the Water- ford speech which the Times alleged the witness delivered. London July 9.—The queen is suffering very much from lumbago and rheumatism, and on Thursday at Marlborough house it was quite apparent with what difficulty she walked, even with the aid of the arm of the Prince of Wales and her stick. She had not recovered from the chill caught during her journey from Scotland. Sho hardly stood at all at Marlborough house, and her Indian attendant was close at baud all the timo to give her a chair. She looked tired, and was very red in the faco, though very gracious and in good Bpirits. Sho wore hor usual black black gown, and the suito with her wore black also, but there ueeniud to be a little more white feather than usual in her bonnet, and it has white strings. It is ourious that in spite of her diminutive size, and no high bred appearance, no one has more grace and dignity than the queen, nnd when she speaks, moves about or smiles one quito loses the consciousness uf the fact that sho ia a very small and not good looking old lady. Nothing is more charming than to see tho Prince of Wales with tho queen. His manner is so tender, differential and affectionate, he watches over her with such care, attending to her every want and suggesting anything which he thinks will please her. He walked very slowly and carefully with her on Thursday, for it evidently pained her and she had great difficulty in.mounting the steps from the garden into Mralborough House. She made the prince walk a Btep ahead and help her up. The meeting between the Queen and the Shah wai very funny. Conversation was carried on through the Persian minister. The queen stood for a moment admiring the large emerald diamond buckles the Shah wore on his waist band and. coat, and, having sat down, she motioned him to a seat bo, side her, which he accepted looking around for the Princess of Wales who was immediately behind him, and whom he made sit on a chair on the other side of him. The pantomime which expressed his wishes was irresistibly funny, and taxed the princess greatly, for she bit her lips hard to keep from laughing. However, ahe must have got accustomed to it, for during the Shah's stay there, it was evident on several occasions that she could hardly keep and look serious. The jewels at the court ball last week were magnificient. The bench of Duchesses Marchionesses and countesses was a blaze of light. The Duchesses of Westminster, Leeds, Cleveland, Bedford and Portland wore the finest, but Lady Londonderry, and Lady Hesdford ran thom very close. No one's diamonds were more magnificient than the Barness Burdett- Coutts, for she wore a tiara that went all round her head, and looked like a complete orown of diamonds. Her other jewels were magnificient. The Baroness De Worms blazed with Jewell. The Duoheia of Portland and Princess Louise divided the honors of the evening. There was great amusement to see the family quadrille with which royalty opened the ball, Lord Fife dancing with the Princess of Wales and the Prince of Wales with his daughter. The Princess Louise looks bright and happy, and Lord Fife was in lover-like attendance during the whole evening. Tho Duchess of Portland looked very handsome, and evidently her lord and master was in- tensly proud of her, for ho devoted himself to her all tho ovening. They seemed mnoh more contented to talk to eaoh other than anyone else. Lord and Lady Randolph Churchill were sent for on to the Daii during the i evening by tho Prince of Wales ond presented to the Shah. He said nothing to them, but inspected Lady Randolph carefully, who boro the ordeal, which was rather trying, with more sang froid than her lord who looked very bored. Lord Randolph stayed late at the palace, apparently enjoying himself, and went into supper with hiB sister, the Duchess of Roreburgh. New Orleans, July 9.—The excitement over the Sullivan-Kilrain battle has nearly died out to-day, and except about saloons and various headquarters of the sporting fraternity, the city is very quiet. Visitors to the fight were leaving in large numbers for tbe north, aB there is nothing to remain here for, the result of yesterday's fight being so decisive. All talk of fights between other pugilists has apparently been entirely given up, and tho chief desire of everybody is to got hutne as quickly as possible. PrnsiiUUG, Pn. July 9.—Freight train No. 13 un tho Pennsylvania railroad was wrecked nt Wilmerding, a fow miles enst of hero, lust night. Thirteen cars were derailed. The train caught 'lire.

Leak, of the township of Logan, was accidentally killed yesterday while running around with a sharpened stick in her mouth.

Victoria, July 0.—Yesterday afternoon a bad accident occurred on the ship Duke of Abercorn, at anchor in tho royal roads. Several sailors were heaving up anchor when the winch got away from them.

Victoria, June 8.—Examinationa for teachers commonced to-day in the government buildings. There are about 120 applicants. To-day was the hottest of the season. Great interest iB manifested in the Sullivan-Kilrain tight, Sullivan was the favorite here. W. Bridgman and W. R. Jones wero thrown from a dog cart at Esquimalt. The former had his right leg broken. The Japanese wrestler, Sorachi, challenges Cameron for a mixed match for $1,000 a side. Wilkinson Richards, working in the Vancouver Coal Co.'s colliery, had his back broken by falling between the cage and shaft. miner Interesting Case. A case of interest to societies generally has just been tried at Nanaimo before Mr. Justice Crease. L. Page brought aotion against John Hilbert to recover $12.00 being money paid by plaintiff to defendant to become a member of Platonic lodge of United Order of Honor. The application of Page to become a member of the lodge was refused but his initiation fee was not returned to him. This ho sued to recover. After hearing some very lengthy evidence proving that the money was paid to Hilbert, his lordship gave judgment for plaintiff, and mentioned several others to whom the same amounts were due, and also suggested that the remainder of the fundi of the lodge in the hands of the treasurer be equally divided among the members of the late lodge.—Times. ..^.. .— The Philadelphia Record aaya: Oaptain Purrington, of the clipper ship St.'Oharles, lying at Race atreet wharf, discharging a cargo of salt, makes the remarkable report that for 121 days, the entire time occupied in making the run from San Franoisco to Cork Harbor, the sails were not taken in, even in rounding Oape Horn, The iinest weather waa experienced, and the same sails that carried the vessel out of the Qolden Gate took her to the coast of Ireland.

WEEKLY BRITISH COLUMBIAN, NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C, JULY 10, 1889. NO. 28. Weekly British Columbian Ytttaeafluy Moriiiiie, Jnly 10. 18811. Although the Southern states have lung since acquiesced as gracefully aa possible in the consequences which the result of the memorable American civil war imposed upon tbem, it is nothing morn than natural and human that some rather fervid sentiments should he entertained, unci occasionally expressed, on the subject by that portion of ihe nation that was vanquished in the struggle for what it considered constitutional and divine rights. That Southern feeling has not died Out altogether a recent speech in Virginia, by General Early, of the Confederate army, would seem to show, ns do other utterances from Southern public men, from timo to time. Tho graves of Confederate soldiers at Winchester were being decorated not long ngo on the day aet apart for that purpose, and General Early, the orator of the occasion, in the course of his address, said : "The men whose bones now lie in this cemetery gave their lives for what they not only believed to be, but what I insist, was a just ami righteous cause. That cause was loot, but that did not prove that it was wrong, for tho history of the world abounds with instances in which might has proved more powerful than right. The fact, therefore, that the cause for which those brave soldiers gave their lives failed of success, nnd that wo have accepted tho result, with u determination to abide the issue as the final settle- men' of the questions which lod to the conflict, does not justify those tune servers who pretend to have discovered that they were on the wrong side in the contest, either from want of manly courage, or from some sinister motive of self-interest. As I have said on a former occasion : *li ever I repudiate, disown or apologize for the cause for which Lee fought and Jackson died, may the lightning of heaven blast me and the scorn of all good women and true men be my portion,' And again I say that the Confederate who has deserted since the war is infinitely worso than one who deserted during the war." These sentiments are -fairly representative, it is said, of - what is left of the military South, and the best the triumphant Nortii can do, an exchange well remarks, is to read snch addresses and mako no sign. The history of the man who is attracting more attention at this ime than the president himself is an eventful one, says an American co- temporary, and not without the shadow of many dark and suspicious clonds, notwithstanding the testi mony of many good men to his noble qualities, his integrity and honor. Briefly told, it is as follows : Alexander Sullivan first went into business at Detroit in a boot and shoe store. Business was not good. His storo was burned out; the cause of the fire was incendiary, but the investigation failed to provo that Sullivan was criminally responsible. While in Detroit he was involved in a shooting scrape. Sullivan says he did not shoot but was only shot at. In 1867 he was postmaster at Santa Fe, New Mexico. He stamped Michigan for Genernl Grant in 186S, and was afterward appointed collector of internal revenue in New Mexico, in 18C9, but was removed for cause in 1870. He got into another shooting scrape with H. H. Heath while he was editing the Santa Fo Post, but, finding tho paper did not pay, he left Now ilexico.and his §6,000 debts, behind him. He roamed about consi'liirab'ty after this, ultimately turning np in Chicago in 1873, where ho found employment on various papers, drift ing nbout till he got a position on the Chicago Times as political reporter. The 'Times had bitterly fought the people's ticket, but whon O'Hara was elected city treasurer and Colvin mayor, whom the Times had oppost'd, Sullivan was, to everybody's surprise, appointed secretary of the board of works. His coldblooded and inhuman slaughter of F. Hanford, principal of the North Division high school, in front of his wife uiul little ones, every one who was in 1870 old enough to read the papers must well remember. He was twice tried for this dastardly cnine, the first jury not agreeing and the socond acquitting him, on what grounds tin indignant j>0O| I-i were nt u loss to imagine, vxi-ftpi that the Olan-na-Gael ruled tliu jury, Sullivan's next act which helped to buildup his reputation us tm honorable man was to take advantage of the national bankrupt law, which was in 1870 about to go out of ex- istenoe. Ho wus discharged und freed from his heavy debts, his assets being nil. He wns elected president of tho lnnd league in 1883, Suoh is n brief glimpse of the record of the man who now figures before the publio ;is tint most prominent "suspect" in the matter of the recent dastardly and revolting murder of Dr. Oronin, in Chicago. The strong presumption of Sullivan's connection with the Cronin murder is based upon the following grounds: Sullivan, being an active member of the Olan-na-Gael, or United Brotherhood, and likewise a member of what was known as the "triangle"—an executive committee of three officers of the Brotherhood—enjoyed, with his two brother oflicers, almost unlimited authority in the management of the order and the application of its funds. It was in the application of these funds that the trouble which culminated in the murder of Cronin and the arrest of Sullivan arose. For several years it had been charged that tbe vast sums of money raised by the Olan-na-Gael had been either misused or malused by its officials. The charges finally took definite shape, and were formulated by u committe, of which Dr. Oronin wns tho central figure. The gist of the charges was that the "triangle," and especially Alexander Sullivan, had converted the funds, and more particularly one sum of $100,000, to its or his own use. A preliminary examination by the officials of the order resulted in two reports boing brought in, one exculpating and the other inculpating the accused. Feeling ran high, and quarrel and contention occurred in every "camp" of the Clan-na-Gael and branch of the League. Cronin and his sympathizers determined tn bring the matter up at the annual conventions of the two organizations, which are to occur soon. While working up his evidence, Oronin was assassinated under circumstances seeming, at least, to indicate that the murder had been carefully planned by members of the order. Our readers are aware, the coroner's inquest held in Chicago resulted in Sullivan being charged with the crime, arrested, indicted, and jailed, and he is now awaiting his trial, with strong chances, if justice is done, most will be forced to admit, of being convicted. Alexander Sullivan, who by the way, is a lawyer as well as agitator, although of Irish parentage and descent, is said to be a Canadian by birtb, having been born, July, 1841, in the town of Amherstberg,Ont., where his father, a British soldier, was assigned to garrison duty. In personal appearance Sullivan is described as at first sight disappointing, being below medium stature, thin, slender, and of poor physique. The general expression is that of a well-educated but over-worked professional man, In public meetings, however, all this is changed tho moment he rises to his feet. A sonorous and penetrating voice, a clear and manly enunciation, an admirable diction, a good flow of words, and a fine sense of the pathetic and dramatic, make him a public speaker of the best type, Alexander Sullivan undoubtedly possesses talent of a very high order, but it is to lm feared that, conjoined with this, he is thoroughly unscrupulous, and therefore, tbe most dangerous of men, whose punishment, if this blackest of all the crimes laid to his charge is proved, should be suro and condign.

Mayor Hendry, by special invitation, attended a reception given hy Admiral Heneage on board the flagship Swiftsure, yeaterday aftornoon, at Vancouver. A select party was present and a most enjoyable afternoon was spent. Mayor Hendry invited Admiral Heneage and the fleet to visit Westminster during the timo of the provincial exhibition, and it is quite possible that one or two of the warships will be present on that occasion. Should the admiral finally decide on visiting tho lloyal City, he and his gallant men will meet with a reception as cordially and sincere as they havo met with anywhere on tho Pacific station. It is to be hoped Mayor Hendry will be successful in his efforts to bring tho fleet to the Frasor River. Hose Heel Kneea.

A very large number of Indians have arrived in tho Fraser river during the past 10 days, and they are now camped, with their wives and families, in the vicinity of the various canneries. The Indians will till be given work as soon as tlio big run commences, nnd a large number have already been en gaged for the season at very liberal wag s. A largo number of the Si- wnshes come from uo-river pointB, aud many from the Northern inlets. Th quantity of furs brought down by the Northern Indians iB not eo large as in other years. As far as is known thero is no sickness or disease among the arrivals, and all appear to be in the best of health. . . . The Glorious TwitWli.

The Hose ltecl Buces. The hose reel contests at Vancouver on July lit are being cut up all round, and even the Vancouver papors are beginning to see that some sort of an explanation is necessary. Evory visiting team complains of unfairness and ungenerous treotment, and not without good reason. The World stands out and snys "these charges require an explanation at the handa of our brigade," and concludes by calling on the Vancoverites to "speak out," The Vuncouverites have got the money, und ore welcome to it as for as the visiting teams are concerned. They were determined to win by hook or by crook and did so But it is those who cherish the fair name of the terminal city who should demand an explanation, and insist on a thorough inquiry into the merits nf the case before the money so unfairly won is paid orer to the alleged winners Three times hos thiB aort of thing occurred, and still Vancouverites allow it to go on. »., Another Opinion. Mr. M. J. Conlin, foreman of No 1 Company, Victoria Fire department, in a letter to the Colonist on the racei at Vancouver, tells his story of what was done after the disputes commenc ed: "A meeting of the viiiting tcomi waa called and a written protest sent to the judges who failed to recognize it. Thoy all agreed that had there been fair judges or men who understood their business, Viotoria would havo had lirat place. Nozzlemen not being allowed to touch the pipe after it was put on, Seattlo ia entitled to the money, because the only team that carried out the association rules. Seoond day all visiting teams withdrew from the contost, owing to the unfair treatment they had already received, Victoria boys addressed the assembly from o verandah, stating' their reasons for so doing and offering to compete with Vancouver's best team for $500 or $1,000, race to be run in Seattle. The Seattle captain made the some offer, which up to now they have not accepted. There is a forfeit in the hands of Seattle's captain any time Ihey raise the money. Our reason for selecting Seattle ia, she is neutral ground, nnd they thoroughly understand firemen's races. Thus ended ono of the must disgraceful firemen's tournaments ever held on the Paciiic." A Steamship Ashore. Captain Cavan, of the steamer Rainbow, which arrived from Viotoria last evening, reports having passed a largo ateomship oshoro on tho outer sond- houds, somo 500 yards out of tho proper channel. Sho was flying tho A mcri- otlll Hag, union down, and hud commenced to list over with lhe receding tide. The Rainbow did not pass near enough tu distinguish the vessel's name, but the words "San Francisco" were plainly read on hor stern. Tho steamer was flying signals of distress ond H. M. S. Champion was close at hand evidently intending to send a boat to seo what was wanted. Tho steamer Rithet was also standing by, and would render assistance if any was needod. Tho steamer, was evidently working without a pilot and had gone on at about half tide. It is hard to understand how sho got so far out of the channel without striking sooner. Sho would probably get olf at high tido this morning if not too deeply fixed iu the sund. FULLER TARTIOULABS, Since writing tho above fuller particulars of tho miehaf have come to hand, and Tup.

On the trip down yesterdsy tbe Rithet was boarded by the first officer of the Karluck, who asked that assistance be given them. Capt. Jagers promised to return this morning and did so, accompanied by Capt. Irving on the steamer Islander. The stage of the tide waa Buch that nothing could be done at the time, and Capt. Irving proceeded to Vancouver on the Mondor and telegraphed from there, ordering the Yoaemite to leave immediately ond stand by ready to haul the Karluck off at the proper moment, The vessel wna making a little water, but tha pumps had no trouble in keep, ing her flee. It is expected she will be gut off to-night. The Karluck went ashore at high tide, and lt may he necessary to take a portion of the cargo out of ber In order to get her afloat again. , . . Philadelphia Lawyers Wanted. The good people of classic Surroy, one of the flourishing municipalities south of the Fraser and tributary to tho royal eity, have been for over a month paat wreatling, unsuccessfully so far, with a local problem of more than loeal interest. The Surrey bruin• twistei waa evolved in thia way: In a settlement within the municipality, known at Kenaington Prairie, all the settlers—with one exception— hove their land fenced in along the highway, thus keeping their stock off the public road. This "one exception" gentleman haB a yawning gap where nil fence ought to be, and the consequence is that hii cattle get out and make the road-bed, which is soft in places, more like a ploughed field than a highway,. rendering it virtually impassable for a certain length, to the no little Inconvenience and injury of his neighbor!—tho "exception" himself not being affected by the condition of this particular road as his situation gives him access to anothor road not accessible to his neighbors, The question, then, with the aggrieved majority was how to compel this independent minority to fence his land in the publio interests. A pound bylaw, to be enaeted and enforced by the municipality, appeared to offer the much-desired remedy. All the settlers in Kenatngtou, then, but one, immediately petitioned the Surrey council to pais a pound by-law, which would enable cattle straying at large to be summarily impounded. This was all very well, but the interests of Ken- iington Prairie are not paramount in Surrey. People in the other sections of the municipality began to take alarm when they reflected that the measure would apply, not only where it was wanted, but in every part of the municipality as well, and that it might be applied In lome instances, by the mischievous or spiteful, aa an instrument of wanton annoyance. Conae- quently, there wai a muih larger petition againit the pound by-law than for it, and Ihe petitioner! on both aides attended the lait council meeting, on the 22nd ult., in force, to "influence" that body in lta deliberations, with the result that tho vexed question was laid over till next meeting. A somewhat amusing feature of the case is tho fact that the "fenceless" man, who is the unwitting, but hardly innocent, centre of the Surrey tornado, took immediate steps to build him a fence when the' pound by-law seemed likely to become an assured tact, but has suspended operations awaiting developments. Perhaps a practical adoption of the "golden rule" is the only solution to the Surrey problem.

On Saturday evening, June 29th, an entertainment was given at tho Deighton Hall in connection with the distribution of prizes to the pupils attending the above school. The stage, improvised for the occasion, and the tables, were adorned with beautiful bouquets. The porents and friends turned out in full force. W. Teaguo, Esq., J. P., secretary to the board of trustees, waa called to the chair and opened the proceedings with a speech, in which he pointed out to the parents how much encouragement they could give both to the children and lo their teacher by taking an interest in educational matters. The children wero also incited to diligence and perseverance in their studies, not only to fit them for the duties of life, but also to give thom the power of acquiring knowledge, from whioh they would derive pleasure and profit in their leisuro hours. The chairman then called upon the lonelier, S. Shepherd, for his report. The teacher congratulated the audience upon the increase in tho population of Yalo, as was evidenced by the fact that, whereas the average actual daily attendance during the previous year wob 15.65, he would be able to report to tho superintendent of education an actual average doily attendance of 22.07 for the year i" ust completed. Tho chairman districted the prizes and presents to the children, ond in a happy manner encouraged each child to make greater efforts to oxoel in the future. The rolls of honor were awarded to Esthor Oppenheim for proficiency, to Alice Teague for deportment, and to Alexander MacQuarrie for punctuality and regularity. On the conclusion of the distribution of prizes the chairman called upon Mr. Sterling for the order of programme which he had kindly undertaken to arrange. The performances of the ladies and gentlemen who sang and recited were loudly applauded, and the violin solos were much appreciated. Mrs. Williami had very kindly trained several of the girla to Bing songs and they did her great eredit. Mr. Oppenheim (trustee) moved, and Mr. Dodd (trustee) seconded, a vote of thanks to the chairman and to the ladies and gentlemen who had contributed so much to the ovening's entertainment, whieh was carried with acclamation. After a few words from the chairman "God Save the Queen" was sung in a truly loyal and patriotio manner, and thus a pleasant and profitable evening wai brought to a close.—Com, Mr. Muir's Chargei. Mr. J. N. Muir, one of British Columbia's school teachers, is becoming quite notorious by bis letters to the press on school grievanco matters. Mr. Muir, it will have been noticed, does not spare hii evident bete noir. the provincial secretary and the superintendent of education, but gives them hard rubi at every opportunity. As wepubliehed a communication fromMr. Muir'a pen the other day, containing Borne very positive assertions anent the provincial secretary's communication to the city council here, on high school matters, we deem it only fair to reproduce the following letter, from the .Victoria Times of tho 1st inst., oon- trat'icting, with apparent overwhelming au-thority, some equally positive statements—or, in the light of the following testimonial, misstatements— made recently by Mr. Muir touching the superintendent nf education, Mr. Pope. The communication which we copy from the Time, explains itself: Editor Times: Sir—In your issue of June 21st appeared a letter signed "J. N. Muir," in whieh the following statement was made: "It has been the custom for Mr. Popo to direct teachers in graded schools to make up false returns of their schools." Now, Mr. Editor, knowing the abovo statement to be maliciously false, and one calculated to in- juire the reputation of the superintendent of education, if uncontradicted, I deemed it proper to tako upon myself to communicate with tlie teachers of the high schools nnd graded schools of the province, and received in reply the sig- natures of the following teachers to tbe statement that they had never been instructed by Mr. Pope to make out false retnrns of their schools: ,T.

There was 0 time when the bachelors of the Scott road were content to wear flannel or wincey shirts, but that day has gone by, and the old simplicity of apparel so manly and robust looking is giving place to fashionably cut cloths, boiled shirts and cut throat collars. It is not to be supposed from thiB that the young farmers perform their daily labors in dress suits and white kids, for they are still willing to work in "low neck and short sleovos," but it is on Sunday after tho cattle have been foddered, the cows milked, the chickens fed and the geese navigated to the water, that they shine bright and glorious; in fact one would take them for splended specimens of London or Parisian fashionables.

Supreme Conrt. [Before theHon. Mr. JustlceMcCrefaht.] Tifctjen v. Harling—This was i»n application made yosterday for an injunction to restrain the defendant from manufacturing and selling cigars under the name of the "Little Mainland" the word "mainland" being part of the plaintiffs registered trade mark in reference to the same article. It wai contended ou behalf of the plaintiff that the act relating to trade marks prevents the uie by another of a part, aa well as the whole, of a person's trade mark, and that the word "mainland" is oa much a part of the trade mark in question aa in tho diagram within which it ia written. Besides the authority of the act the English and Canadian reports contain abundant authority in support of the plaintiffs claim' The plaintiff's counsel cited among many others a ease wherein it wai decided that where a mineral water waB lold under the name of "Apollinaris water" it waa an infringement to use the name "London Apollinaris water," and ao alio wai it decided to be an infringment to tne the name "Imperial Bibaiic" where the trade mark wu "Imperial." A trad* mark is supposed to word the f ulleit protection to the owner thereof, and the law, ai tha authoritiei clearly ihow, will restrain a penon (rom ni- ing in anyway a part of another's trade mark in respect of the ume article. Should the quality of the "Little Mainland" cigar be reduced it ia certain to injure the name of the "Mainland" with which it cannot help being confounded. Hii lordship, at the requeit of the defendant's couniel, who waa not prepared to go on, adjourned the application to Viotoria, where argument on behalf of tha defendant will be heard on Wedneiday.

A strange drowning accident occurred yesterday at Canoe Pass, which up to the preaent writing is unaccountable. The str. Stella, of tho Royal City Planing Mills Co., on her way from Mud Bay to Westminster, ran on a snog in Conoe Pass and stuck fast. Only the captain and engineer, James O'Donavan, were on boord at the time, and the captain took tho boat to proceed to Ladners in order to telegraph for assistance. When the captain returned O'Donavan was missing, and as there were no means by which he could have left tho steamer and no likelihood of his leaving the steamor even if he hod the opportunity, it iB supposed ho must hove been accidentally precipitated into the water and drowned. O'Donavan could not swim, so it is scarcely likely ho was bathing, and tho drowning must have beon through accident. The deceased was a native of Liverpool, about 30 years of age, and had beon in this city obout threu years. He was a steady and respectable young man, and was a general favorito with his fellow employees, as well as his employers, who will deeply regret his loss. Tlio Stella, with a search party aboard, was sent down to Canoo Pass this morning to try and recover the body. Later—O'Donavan's body was recovered this morning near tlie spot whoro the Stella ran on the snag. The coroner wus notified and an inquest on the body will be held this evening.

Summaries or Some or llie Cllr Sermons Spoken Sundny. HOLY TRINITY CHURCH. Before commencing the sermon yesterduy, the Venerable Archdeacon Woods announced that there would be a celebration of tho Holy Communion on Sunday next at 8 and 11 a. m., that dato being the last on which he would, minister to tho congregation as rector of Holy Trinity. The Venerable Archdeacon particularly requested that as many us possible of the congregation should be present at his dosing services. The subject for the sermon was taken from 1st Peter, Sth chap., and 8th verse, "Be sobor, be vigilant, because ynur adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." Tho order of tho day is to bo sober and vigilant, and to watch always. When Peter wrote these wurds it is just possible he hod before him our Lord's words, -What, can ye nut watch an hour.' Wo should ever have these words before us. Today 1 want to speak to you of your adversary the devil. Why do' Wh' fllid him with so many names; he is given every name lie could possibly be known by, the tempter, dragon, old serpent, evil one, prince of darkness and many more all bo obvious. We read of the time when Satan tempted Christ in tho wilderness; in Job we are told that sotaii appeared in heaven before God as the tempter. 1 hope, without straining the meaning of the scriptures, that I can lay before you aome of the ways of the devil. The devil is not always at our side, at all times and in all places, but he has an all pervading influence for evil. I say with all reverence that to imagine or suggest that the devil is always at evory man's elbow, is all nonsense. Look at the thousands of deathbeds; it is absurd to place satan at each one of them unless wo are prepared to give hiin the omnipresence of God. The Holy Spirit is omniscient, stitan is not; the Holy Spirit is the Lord and giver' of light and life, but the devil is not. We might liken the devil to somo malign animal, who, through poisoning some part of our food, tempts us to become part of himself. Your power and my power, dear friends, for good, is greater than the devil's for evil. Satan can only enter at a door left open. Man's power for evil is also very great, and the great evils we do are voluntary on our part. The devil- cannot devour those who resist him, and he will have very little power over you if a strong resistance ii made. Christ is the captain of our salvation, and it ii only soldiers who require a captain to lead them on and direct them. Therefore the queition to each one of ua ia, are we one of Christ's soldiera! for to Hii soldien is the victory. If we are, victory will be the reward, and we cat) boast that we fought the good fight and kept the faith. could grasp; they would fail in their estimate, hence this passage, "to Him increased tho joy." Now this evening for a few minutes let us talk over the harvest joy. It is qualified, because there are so many kinds of joy, but this is a joy tangible and eternal, and wo joy liko Him. It is an old Hebrew expression, "joy in harvest;" they joyed at three feasts; whon the corn was green, when it was ripo, and when it was harvested there went up the shout of "harvest home" in thanksgiving to God. Jesus joyed over the result of his own work; so in tho Christly sense Paul compared his acquisition, with what he had left behind and reached on before, in hopo, looking to tho joy of harvest. Crowns aro there, but no man can wear one who has not won it. God has saved us and then offers a crown, but only he that runs and struggles up and gains it shall wear it. God rewards tho farmer and the trndosman for their industry, and will Ho not reward the Christian for work done for Him. He does a great deal to help, but you must help yourselves. For instance, the man coming down and oponing store at aix or seven 0,clock will most likely do hotter than the man who sleeps tn nino o'clock and then opens up with a sour face: man'3 providence very often helps mon whom God's providence don't. Some of our young men in their first pastorates complain of rough work, but in evory farm tlioro is considerable grubbing and stono picking to do. Stand by a purpose, pursue it, and the joy of harvest will como. There aro many young men today who havo farms and stock left to them, ond through their lovo of fino buggies and fast horses they soon loose the farm, just simply because it wus not the result of their own labor and they could not value it. All tho men who mako success in inventions and enterprises do so as the result of their having wrought from the beginning, and now they have tho joy of harvest. Do you mean to soy, says Paul, that there will be no difference in the next world ? If not, then we are of all men the most fooled; look what I have given up. But he joyed the joy of hope, which means fruition. Hope inspires, nerves, until man in his work feels Ins individuality and presses on to the joy of harvest. The reverend gentleman, after urging to greater activity in the hopeful possibilities, so that thoy might partake in the shout of harvest home, said : A year ago to-night I left Duluth, not knowing just where to go to, but God lod ub here, and now at the end of the year I want to review a littlo, and I want God and you to notice that 1 claim no honor, no glory. I hove hod to rejoice ell along, and this is enough for me. During the year, by your help and that of some one else behind—for I do not think that any hove been gathered but that some one else away back had something to do wilh persuading them —by various agencies 30 persons have been receivod by baptism; some converted in the Sunday school, some in the young people's meeting, and somo by the help of other agencies, nnd I was saying to them, "Boys I havn't missed one nf you." No, we aro all hore; 35 others huvo been received upon letters;; tho congregation has grown, and at the Thutsday night prayer meeting ivo have un averago of 60; tho young peoples' meeting have increased iu numbers; so also the Sunday school has increased in numbers nnd vigor; about 82,000 has been collected here, 81,370 of which wus collected on the plates, for which thanks nro due fo the congregation generally and to friends from other churches. Only twice have I mentioned monoy, and without nny coaxing you have dono well, paid the debts and huvo something moro. If you had not done this, if it was not for yoor liberality, I would have had to go somewhere else. God Wosb you in your pood works, may you rodouble your energy, and God grant the incoming months may bring with thom a harvest of souls as will redound to the honor of the Most High.

Yesterday was the closing sabbath of the first year of the Bev. Thoi, Baldwin, pastor at Olivet Baptist ohurch. At the evening services he reviewed the work done. His text waa from Iaiah 9 c, 3 v.—"Thou haat multiplied the nation, and not in- created the joy; they joy before thee according to the joy in harveit, and as men rejoice when they divide the ■poil." The rev. gentleman ipoke ai follows: It ia veiy hard with this rendering to get good aenie or anything like the true meaning of tha pro- phet'i expreuion, but he evidently meant the Lord Jesui Christ—to Him increased the joy. You see the prophet looks forward from the dark prophetic ages down to tbe age when Jeiuishould appear in due time. The era in which the prophet ipoke wai ai a theatre of darkneu and without God and hope in tht world, yet he wai looking ahead, yet not knowing the future eventi that ihould ipring up that would change tha very nature of thinga; but when Jeiua appeared he increaaed the intereit and itirrod into activity of hope the whole human race.

It is said before very long the details will be given to the public; that the Northern Pacifio has hod such a project in contemplation for some time, but that the O.

Robert Jamieson, the minister who conducted the first funeral service in tho old Douglas street cemetery, about a quarter of a century ago, sent a communication to the city council last night calling attention to the neglected state of the graveyard, and the necessity of making such repairs to the fence and gates as will suffice to keep out cattle and horses. To the credit of the council be it aaid that it was unanimously resolved that the necessary attention should be immediately given it. Alderman Jaques, very rightly, claimed thut the cemetery should bo removed to a more suitable location, and the board of works will report on this at a future meeting of the council. Many of the old pioneers of the province lie buried in thia neglected and desolate enclosure, but in not a few instances the mounds which marked their last resting place have been obliterated by wandering cowi, the head boards overturned and tram, pled under foot, until now it would be impossible .to aacertain whose dust lies in many oi the graves.

Robert Jamieson, calling attontion to tho neglected stato of Douglas street cometery and requesting that the council give it the necessary attention as many of the oldest pioneers of tlio province aro buried in it. HiB worship said ho was surprised the mattor had not been taken up sooner. Aid. Jaques thought tlio graveyard Bhould bo moved to a moro suitable place. Tho matter wob referred to tho board of works with power to act. From Win. lt. King, architect, asking for the street linos on Carnarvon streets. Referred to board of works with powor to act. Frum Mrs. Hnwiaou calling niton- tion lo the necessity of abating tlio nuisance on Trew streot opposite her residence, in tho shape of bad drainage. Referred to the board of health with power to act. From E. A. Wilmot, for tho Coquitlam water works company, stating that he had handed to the city clerk the plans, papers eto. called for by the agreement between the said company and the city. Referred to tho wator committee to report on at next meeting. From Turnbull and Working, asking permission to lay-buildini? material on Royal avenue. Granted under the supervision of tho board of works. From Aid. Scoullar aa follows : To his worship Moyor Hendry, Dear sir: Owing to the business like manner the council octed in appointing two engineers to carry out tho surveys and superintendence of the proposed water works, I hereby tender my resignation as a member of the water and sewer- ago committee. My reasons for doing so oro I am satisfied that under the present engineering staff, namely two high salaried engineers (when one was all that was necessary) with the assistants will cost the council a sum far in oxcess of the Bum set down in Mr. H. P. Bell, O. E.'b estimate, namely §4,500 for engineering and superintendence, which is a part of the cost of the whole works ($200,000.) Any business man if he stops to consider a moment will see what the end will be. However, the majority of the oouncil in their wisdom thought they knew all about this most important matter and gave me no credit for knowing anything in regard to the question although I had given the matter a good deal of study; therefore in justification of my position my duty is to resign from my position on the water works and sewerage committee. In doing so I have no ill will to my colleagues, who no doubt ore more capable men and better fitted to complete thiB most important work. Laid over for ono week. Alderman Jaques said that Alderman Scoullar's letter referred to the appointment of a superintendent for the water works, and apparently intended that the publio should believe such an office had been created. No superintendent had been appointed and none had even been spoken of. The public Bhould not be misled by auch inferences. The board of works reported having taken over the tools from the park committee; that tenders for the improvement of Fortesque atreet had been received and that of D, L. Smith at §2,300 being lowest, be accepted; that tho tender of the R. C. P. M. Oo. to fill in the foot of Douglas street for §350 be accepted. Report adopted. In the matter ot suburban taxes Mr. Curtis reported having examined the judge's book and found tbat judgment hod been given against Mr. Elliott, and therefore the cily waa entitled to collect taxes on suburban property, Beportadopted. The finance committee reported as follows: That W. T. Cooksley be ap pointed assistant clerk at a salary of $75 por month and that he be allowed $25 for extra work performed; that the bonus to the woolen mills is ordered paid. Report adopted. ACCOUNTS. tl The following accounts wore ordered paid : W.H. Falding 25cts.; Gas Oo., $192;Gilloy Bros $1.50; Telegraph Oo. $1.95; W. D. Ferris $15. A summons to appear in court in the case of Hennessey vs. corporation, for damages received by falling from a sidewalk, was read. On motion the finance committee was empowered to employ the best legal talent in British Columbia to defend the suit, nnd that an appearance be made at Victoria Aid. Ewen's resignation was further laid over for a week, pending the report of a special committee appointed to examine into the water lot taxation, Aldermen Cunningham, Townsend and Reid all said they thought the system of taxation on water lots was unjust, and Aid. Ewen's grievance was worthy of attention. Tho committee appointed to report on the Draper lot matter was given further time to report. Aid. Jaques drew the attention of the council to tho fact that the time tor registration nf voters for Dominion elections was at hond, ond unless some means were taken by the oouncil to get tho names registered the voting power of the city would be very unim portant nt the next election. Tho matter was referred to the fin ance coniinitteo with power to act. Aid. Jaques thought immediate steps should be taken for tho eleotion of water commissioners. Aid. Curtis: "In regard to tho appointment of water commissioners I have been of the opinion . that there was no hurry as yet and I will oxplora my position on the subject. There is, nu doubt, a great deal of dissatisfaction over the appointment of tho water works engineers, from the fact that the public docs not understand the question. As regards the engineers, I was given to understand that two meh could do tho work in half tbe time one man could. Everyone knows two men aro always better than one on any question, for what one might not be certain on the other could prbbably render the. advice and assistance required. Time wob another object in tho appointment of two engineers. We must havo tho work undor way ihd completed ns soon, as possible. 'It'wss never intended that two mon Bhould be employed throughout construction, but as soon us tlio plans aro up and preliminary work finisliod ono will be allowed to go. My idea is that lis soon as the pinna are up nnd submitted lo a competent export nnd accepted by him. that tho water commissioners shall lio elected nnd tbo entire business transferred lo them. However, I liavo tho by-law ready and if tho council wishes it can bn rend a first time to- lliglif," Aid. Cunningham said many roports against tlio notion of the I'niincil, in regard fo the appointment of water en- gluuero, lind gunb abroad, but tho water works business could bo safety trusted to the council. There wero many instances when it would be unwise to make public oil arrangements and thiB was one of them. But he thought it only fair that the publio Bhould know that the engineers appointed do not get one cent unless the system of water works proposed by them proves satisfactory. On motion the wator commissioners by-law was read a first time. Aid. Joques notified the board of works to meet on Wednesday to open tenders for the improvement of Begbie street. Aid. Cunningham desired that overy member of the park committee should be present at a meeting on Thursday night. The council then adjourned. Police Court. [Before Mayor Hendry, J. P., aud Oapt Pittendrigh, J. P.] J. Brenter, charged with selling liquor without a license. Mr. Jenns appeared for defendant and asked for a remand till Friday, Remand gronted. F. Arnold, charged with being drunk and incapable, and with breaking a pone of glass in the lockup, pleaded guilty. Fined $12.50 and costs or 10 days hard labor. F. R. Arnold, charged with assaulting A. M. Herring, Baid he did not know anything about it. Mr. Herring gave evidenco on the matter and Arnold was fined §10 and costs or one month in jail. John Donahue, charged with being drunk and incapable, pleaded guilty. John was up a few weeks ago and discharged on the promise that he would leave the city and not return for 20 years. He managed to stay away 24 'hours nnd then returned. Fined $6 or 15 days, Ah Tung, charged with obtaining goods and money undertake pretenses, was remanded for one day. D. S, CURTIS * CO. AGENTS B.

VOLUME 84. WEEKLY BRITISH COLUMBIAN, NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C, JULY 10, 1889. NO. 28. Weekly British Columbian Wednesday Morning, July 10. l»m. Late Despatches. TBE WHONG KIND OF A "PIG." Helena, Mont., July 2.—Another cunningly devised effort to cheat the gallows of Bryson, the wifo murderer, has jii3t been discovered. One of the murderer's lndy friends in Helena, sent him a "pigs in olover" puzzle. Sheriff Hnlford suspected thnt something was wrong nnd in handling the marbles found that ouo seemed nithor soft, and crushed it between his fingers; inside wns found a strychnine pill sufficient to kill n dozen people. TWO OF A KIND. Santa Rosa, Oil., July 2.—Tom Wilson killed ;i nuiti culled "Crazy .Tne" at Glen Ellen, yosterday aft.nriKiun. To n deputy who nrrestod him, Wilson said: "Yes 1 killed hiin. 1 just cut his throat from ear to ear and then he snid fur mu to finish the job, so I got my gun und placed it at his nose and blew thu whole top of his head nff." Wilson while frankly admitting his crime, did not assign any reason for it. Hu is believed to be insane. STILL ANOTHER IIE1151AN. London, July 2.—When the announcement was made lust night that the eldest suu uf the Prince of Wales had been betrothed to the sister of the Emperor uf Germany, it was accompanied by iho statement thnt ihe queen would give the prince a marriage settlement and that parliament would not be asked to make provision for him; this statement was received with undisguised satisfaction nt the tune by all quarters, as it was felt that the queen could well afford to look after the young prince's house - keeping, but it seems that the taxpayers' joy was just a little premature. In the commons today, the speaker read messages from the queen, commending the house to make provision for Prince Albert Victor and Princess Victoria. The reading of the messages caused considerable surprise among the members. Mr. Henry Smith intimated that the government would be prepared to consider the message next Thursday. Mr. Labouchere gave notice that he would oppose all votes of money if made before the appointment of a commission of Boyal grants to inquire into this whole matter. OTTAWA NOTES. Ottawa, July 2.—There is great activity in cable circles. The Western Union is thiB week landing two cables at CanBo to lay to New York to avoid tbe land line. The Commercial company is laying a cable from France to land at Canso this week. A commissioner has been appointed to investigate the charges of mismanagement against Superintendent Ellis of tho Welland Canal. Great publicity is to be given to the case, as the charges were made in the senate. It has boen learned that the Anderson's have guaranteed to transport the English mails across the Atluntie in connection with the Canadian Paciiic Railway at the average speed of nineteen knots. The London Times says this will stimulate the scheme of a fast mail to China and Japan. Ottawa, July 3.—Hon. Mr. Poster was married in Chicago on Monday to Mra. Addie Chisholm, an Ottawa lady who has just obtained a divorce in Chicago frum her Iiusband ou the ground of desertion. Mrs. Foster is well known iu Ontario temperance circles, as both she and her husband have been prominent members of the W. C, T. U. for years. The following contracts have been awarded for Westminster penitentiary supplies: groceries and Hour, C. Mc- Donough; beef and mutton, Manahan & Reichenback; coal, Wm. Rogers; fish W. H. Vianen. The government has been officially notified of the greut exhibition to be held in Hunedin to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the culony of New Zealand. Space application forms can be had from the department of agriculture. A mounted police reserve will patrol southern Manitoba to guard against timber thieves. THE SHAH'S VISIT. London, July 3.—The Shah of Persia visited Guild Hall to-day, passing on tbe way through the Strand, Fleet atreet and Cheapside. At Guild Hall he waa received by the city and corporation oflicers, who were dreased in full costume of office, and presented an address on behalf of the city. After partaking ot breakfast, which waa spread iu the great hall, the Shah returned tu Buckingham palace by way of Queen Victoria atreet and embankment. The Shah and hia party were accompanied in their state carriage by the Prince of Wales, and both the prince and Shah were loudly cheered by the immense throngs that lined the ■treets through which they passed. The weather waa cloudy and sunless, but very favorable for sight-seeing. davitt a evidence. London, July 3.—Davitt returned his testimony before the Parnell commission this morning. In answer to a question Davitt atid he had no objection to join any movement looking to tbe independence of Ireland if there was force enough to justify such a movement. He aaid he did not approve of the Olerkenwell explosion. He regretted the attack on the prison at Manchester whereby a brave policeman waa killed, but he applauded the men who in th. attempt were trying to rescue frienda. Witness said while in prison he became convinced that seoret aocieties would undo all the good effected for Ireland, and when he waa released he conferred with the leaden of the I. R. B. regarding the adoption of an open movement. He failed in hia endeavors to win the leaders to hii opinion, with the exception of Matt Harris. The witneii would not mention the names of any of other leaders of the I. B. B. It wu intended to make the land queition a .topping stone to indepehdance bv treating landlords as au English u'arriaou. "There is a cry in America against the Clan-Na-Gael," continued tlie witness, "But it is for political purposes; it will bo said that the members uf tlie Clan- Na-Gael aro all extreme nationalists." Attorney-General Webster then read a copy of the resolutions demanding the overthrow of British dominion in Ire- lind, and the establishment of nil Iriah republic. Davitt admitted attending the meeting in America when the resolutions woro adopted. TUE HOYAL QUANTS. London, July 4.—It turns uut that the nctitin of the government in deciding to have a select commission appointed on royal grants was not takon ou th'iir own motion, hut wits entirely due to presure brought to bear upon L>,rd Salisbury by the opposition. At a meeting of the lenders of the liberal party Tuesday it was decided to insist upon the appointment of n commission and Win. Henry Smith, first lord of the treasury, was notified of the decision. Among the gentlemen who attended the meeting were Mr. Gladstone, Earl Granville, Lord Herachell, Sir William Vernon Harcourt nnd Mr. Hurley. When the motion for nn appointment of this commission wns presented in the commons, iln effort wns made by the radicals to include in the commission of enquiry tlie subjoct of the ciiil list for the purpose of showing that the queen herself was abundantly ablo to make proper provision for the marriage of her grandchildren. This attempt wns unsucce-sful, although it was supported by Mr. Gladstone. Tho commission when appointed will settle upon whnt principle all future grains of public funds it members of the royal family slinll be made. The concession of this committee wrung from the Tory government is looked upon as a great radical triumph. C. C. Richards & Co. Gents,—I sprained my leg so badly that I had to be driven home in a carriage. I immediately applied MINARD'S LINIMENT freely and in 48 hours could use my leg again as well as evor. Joshua Wynauoht.

He said he would speak two days or longer. Dalton McCarthy and Donald McMaster will reply. Nerve Tobtdeed.—"I suffered with neuralgia and obtained no relief until I used Hagyard's Yellow Oil. Since then I have also found it an invaluable remedy for all painful bums and cuts, rheu matism and sore throat." Mrs. F. Cam eron, 137 Richmond Street West, Toron, to, Ont.
