Volume 7. New Westminster, B. C, Monday Evening, January 13, 1890, Number 165 Every mail ia bringing us bnck subscriptions and renewals from all parts of the province, some sub- icribcTB who have not paid in several years sending the full amount due, and a year's subscription in ad- viuce, Every letter contains sincere regrets at our heavy 1 iss by the lute fire, and most hearty wishes that the year we have now enter jd on may be so bright antl prosperous that our losses will bu only a memory at its close. To these of onr subscribers who hue como forward so freely and generously at this particular time, the proprietors of The Columbian are very grateful, and we assure thom that the amounts, small though they he, are of grent assistance to us in our present troubles. Tho new plant which we have purchased is costing a large sum of money, and it will require a very economical handling of our resources to meet the payments as thoy fall due. Therefore those of our subscribers who are coming so fi eely to our relief and assistance at present are doing more tu help us out of our difficulties, and to place The CoLf MMAN once more on its old footing than treble the amounts would have dune at another time. There wns a banquet at Batocbe the other dey in honor of Mr. MeDowall, tho member for Saskatchewan. Among those present were Chas. Nolin, Xavier Bat- oche, Father Fourmond, and a number of other celebrities whose names suggest at once 1885 and tbe warlike events of that year. The speeches following the "spread," which Is said to have been "splendid," dealt naturally with half-breed questions. Mr. Nolin, who acted as chairman, mentioned the existing requirements. These are as follows: The payment of the rebellion losses, i. e., the losses by the half-breeds who rebelled; the erection of police barracks at Batocho; a yoke of oxen for each poor half-breed family; and an assurance that the separate schools and lhe official use of French shall not be abolished. Mr. MeDowall was unable to make any promises, except as to the separate schools ami the Frenoh language. He declared that so long as Sir Hector Lniigevin, Mr. Chapleau, nod -Hie Adolphe Carou were in tho cabinet tbe hui- gungc and the schools were safe. CONDENSED DESPATCHES. While Col Mallory, of the Smithsonian institution, is knocking on the head the generally accepted theory that the aborigines of Amerioa had, before their contact with civilization, a formulated and established religious faith, Mujor Powell, director of the United States geological survey, is administering like treatment to the mound-builder theory. There ia, he says, no fragment of evidence to support the idea that there was an ancient race of mound-builders superior in culture to the North American Indian. He also attacks the more recent theory that man existed on this1 continent during the geological period prior to the glacial era. The Indian races, he holds, were the earliest inhabitants of America, and thoy had developed from the lowest to the highest stage of savagery ami were relapsing into their original condition whon Columbus mnde his great discovery. Whether other scientists will finally accept these views remains to bo seon, but it may be taken for granted thut the belief In prehis- . toric man, which wus not hastily arrived at, will not be quickly given up. Lord Loiine was written a short story with a Canadian plot. The hero is a Toronto Q. C—whether of federal or provincial creation is not stated—who goes to tho Northwest in his younger days accompanied by a friend. The friend tires of life on the plains anil returns to civilization, never to be hoard of again by tho rentier. The hero, on the other hand, pushes on, makes himself at homo with an Indian tribo, falls in love with the chief's daughter, incurs tho flerco jealousy of n dusky rival, nnd witnesses tho death of his red sweet heart lit the hands of the less favored suitor. During the rebellion of 1885 tbe Q. C. makes a second visit to the Northwest, this time as a soldier. He takes port in tiio noti-pti ot Cut Knife, und thore sees his old enemy, tho Indian wbo courted and killed the chieftain's daughter, slain by a loyal bullet. The plot, it is stated, is not very thick; but' the descriptive writing ia gootl, for the Marquis js well acquainted with Northwest peculiarities, and hns a ready pen with whieh to sketch them. His excellency makes the participants at Cut Knife reach thut point by wny of Rntoelip, which is historically an error, and bo offers some observation:* ns to the rendiucssof the militia for service, which, measured by thu theory of concealment advanced by the ministerial party, ure decidedly disloyal. Thoro is n good moral to tho story. It is to tho effect that the Toronto Q. 0. did well in escaping matrimony with the Indian girl. Tlio following candidates have passod the civil service preliminary examination at Victoria: Francis Bowser, George Brown, John H. Friend, William Graham, Victor Howard, Alfred J.

Early in the day he commenced receiving congratulatory telegrams mut let tern. His well-wishers Included the governor-general, Lord Knutsford, the colonial secretary, scores of senators and members of parliament. The minister of justice proposes to go to law with the government of Quelwc province to settle tho question of jurisdiction over the fisheries in the rivers, streams and lakes of that province, some of which have lately been leased by tite Quebec authorities, The first shipment of cotton to China from tho Montmorency mills, near Quebec, will bc made in a couple of days and will be shipped via Vanoouver, Agents are endeavoring to secure control of tbo wholesale grocery trade of Canada for an English syndicate. All the wholesale grocers here have been approached and most of them hnve agreed to sell out and given options. London, Hamilton, Montreal, Ottawa and Kingston firms have also given options. If the scheme is successful one boani of directors will control the business of the country nnd for the present each house will continue ns It is. With a gigantic syndicate, such as the one proposed, the promoters say that they cnu make muoh greater profits, as money could be got for two per cent., which now costs six per cent, nnd buying in large lots they could get mnch lower prices. There arc a dozen strictly wholesale grocery houses which do a business annually of $70,000,000. Mr, Quinn, member of parliament for Kilkonnoy, states in an interview that the Irish party now has direct proof that Capt, O'Shea's divorce caso wns gotten up by the London Times for the purpose of embarrassing ami discrediting Mr. Parnell.

Two passengers on the steamship Servia, named respectively Michael and Margaret Joyce, were arrested on its arrival at Queenstown Saturday from Now York for having in their possession a revolver and a quantity of cartridges.

Yesterday afternoon, u littlo nfter 3 o'clock, engine No. 374 with snow-plough attached and a freight car and caboose iu tow, reached the city. From tire Brunette mills inwards sho hud n> very rough time of it, and made slow progress. At the I. P. N. dock the snow became too much for the outfit, uud it was brought slowly to a dead stop. At this place the crew ftnd foremen got out to survey tbu prospect, which, tn Say the leaat of ic, was discouraging for the engiiif. The head foreman then ordered lav engineer to IwicIk down, but this movement was not cosily accomplished. The ongine was kept running backwards: and forwards a few foet at a time, for somo minutes. Finally (be train bicked dowu uril i early opposite the woollen mills, and then full pressure was put on, The speed whicli the engine developed in the short run from the woollen milla to the C. P. N. dock was terrific. She crashed into the deep snow nt that point, and from where the writer stood, near the depot, literally disappeared under a huge cloud of flyiug biiow and dirt, whicb was thrown as far aa the sidewalk. The snow- plough hail been sot rather low, and the edges of ft ripped off great pieces of the planking alongside tlie fails and threw thein with dangerous violence among the large crowd which had assembled opposite the (, P. N. dock. One of these pieces measured about four feet long and weighed over twelve pounds. Immediately ufter striking the timber, it lookod as if the en giue had left the rails; she pitched uml tossed about in an alarming manner, ami fears were entertained tin1.*. she was going over the embankment, . She cnmealouv, however, ut a slower rate of speed, und was brought to standstill once more juat west of the depot. '1 he track near the C. P. N. dock presented au interesting scene of havoc, a big pioee of the crosswalk had been torn off, and the plonks running pnrallel to the mil? looked as if a rough planer had been run .over them. Several bolts wore started in (lie plough, b\\it'no other damage waa done. It wus amusing to Boo the crowd scatter aa lhe biiow began to fly; they did not know which way to tly, so flew every way; the majority seemed to think the engine had something personal against them, ami wus going to tuke it out then am! there. The trains hnti trouble nil day coming inl" and leaving the city, ami mournful whistles could If heard at various times of tho duy, sounding like minute guns at son calling for" assistance; This state of affairs ia almost unprecedented on the Pacific division of the C. P.R. NEW ORDERS-IN-OOUNCIL. Among the new ordors-in-couueil gazetted in Ottawa on Saturday, January 4, are several relating to the province of British Columbia. With a view to increasing, the demand for Dominion lauds in British Columbia, the government has created a new district to comprise all the Dominion lauds within that portion of what is known ns the railway belt in British Columbia which lies north of the line between town ships 15 aud 16 and oust of the 7th meridian of tlr Dominion lauds system of survey.
