Seattle, Wn., Oct. 28.—Advices wero reclved from Juneau on tbe stuamer Dolphin that the miBBing It nen urn ! boundary monumentB which have been searched for by Lieut. Emmons for the past two seasons, had been discovered by a prospector of tbe Porcupine district, James S. Deblondeau, a native of Marseilles, France, who interested himself in tbe Porcupine district ana the modus vivendi strip for several years. Throngh his friendship with the Oliilkat Indians he gained Information wbieb 'gave him a clue to the position of the firat monument. From this start he followed along aud found several more of the land marks put up years ago by the Czar's followers; the Hue marked by these monuments is about five inilee inland from Pleasant Camp, which Is 17 miles from Klukln- wau. The latter Is five miles from tidewater on the Chilcoot River. Tins makes tlie Russian survey line approximately 27 miles inland to the summit, less than ten marine leagues and just where It was I expected to be from the language used in the Anglo* Russian treaty of 1825. The Rainy Hollow district is within American territory. Excitement In Wheat Market. San Francisco, Out. 28.*—The upward movement in the price of wheat is causing considerable excitement in local commercial circles, and the market is. showing more activity than for many I months. The fact has developed that early estimates of the crop of this state were far from the actual facts, The reports at first indicated a yield of about 1)00.000 tuns. Now that the harvest is over, the crop is believed to be only liO'V 000 tons, or a trifle over. The extent of the wheat shortage is showh by tbe esti- ', mates tbat there would be between 25,- 000,000 ond 30,000,000 grain hags tunml over this year, against from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 tbls year. The great drought In Australia is turning a large quantity of wheat In that direction, which would otherwise be shipped lo Kurope from this port. Although tbe steamer Sel- borne has brought news that the drought was breaking and better conditions prevailed. The British ships Claverdon, Trafalgar, Glenetive, Blytbswood and tii mora have all been chartered to load here for Australia, and other eargoee may be engaged before the end of the week.

Why Bhould people ask for free newspapers, aaks the Toronto Evening Telegram, any more than they look for free cigars, free umbrellas, free walking sticks, free collars, free cuffs or free beefsteaks? Every copy of a newspaper Is a pro- due* which costs money. "The tailor, the tobacconist, the gents' furnisher or the grocer Is not called upon to Bupply free copies of the products which they handle. The people who are aggrieved if they c moot get a free copy of a newspaper would not think of struggling for a place on the free list of a grocery store, a dry goods store, or butcher's shop? "It Ib the principle more than the cost of the free newspaper idea which is repugnant to all Bound business notions. "There is scarcely a newspaper in tbe country whloh does not maintain a free list for the benefit of people who are well able to pay, and wbo would not think of accepting from their grocer, or butcher, or baker the hand-out which they expect from their favorite newspaper office." LfldyemithJhHs a great opportunity in the proposal of tbe Farmers' Association to do business here. Tbe Association does not confine itself exclusively to the adjacent Islands, but is meant for the benefit of all the farmers in the neighborhood of Ladysmith. With reasonable support from the Ladysmith dealers, with whom alone the Association wishes to deal, there should be no difficulty In driving out the dangerous products of the Chinese vegetable ranches, which are undoubtedly the cause of so much ill health. Ireland's representatives In the British House of Commons have all the bitterness but none of the ability of the late Charles Stewart Parnell. Home Rule, even justice itself, for Ireland, are now farther off than ever.

We cannot do better than to lay tbe Tele- grim't iprlgbtly handling of tho case before onr reader!, with a Itrong recommendation to them to look at the matter ln a rttiontble wty, put themtelvei in tht ntwipiper's pilot.

We have leen hind-written parchment! inscribed hundreds of years ago with ths ink upon them almost ai clear aa on the day on which tbe ecrlvener in his flowing round hand laboriously filled In the folini. "Cold-blooded cruelty to a poor little animal," is the way in whioh a correspondent of the London Dally Newt del- cribei the "sport"ol lox hunting. Barely if there ie a more shameful relic oi the coaree lavagery ol onr earlier tnceitori than' thii elaborate tomfoolery ol fox hunting, It muit then be the phenomenal stupidity oi tht blockheads who indulge in it. Attention haa been drawn tgtin to tha crau stupidity ol the Britiih pitent law! and tbo ilownen of the Britiih manufacturer to appreciate and ttitt uy ingenious idea pnt forth by one ol hll tub- ordinatei. Thii ii the reaion why io many clever Britiih inventor! go to the United Statee with their invention!, because there they meet with Intelligent tppreciation and ready rapport. Men willing to mm tht United Statei navy are so difficult to procure that a really lerioul state ol affair! now confronts tbe American naval anthorttiot.

I must say," he added, "that they give as good service there aa we have ever had in Chicago. Chicago would appreciate Glasgow's utilities.

Gardom, Salt Spring Island manager oi the Farmers' Produce Association, waa in Ladyimith last Saturday, when he wai Interviewed by i Leader representative, relative to tbe proposed establishment here ol a central depot lor the product! of tho farms re- preiented in tbo Association. Mr. Gardom laid tbat tbe Farmers' Association was by no means confined to iho farmers ol Bait Spring Island, but tbit on the contrary the Anociation wai moit deiiroui of welcoming to iti rank! til tht farmer! around Lsdyimith and on tht adjacent island!. Tht Anociation*! aim wai to supply tho dealer! in Ladyimith and lo discourage as muoh ae possible the peddling from door to door which lias hjen found to be to uneatisfaotory. By having one central mart from which all the dealer! in town could receive their supplies regularly, tbt price could be eo regulated ai to bear fairly on all partite concerned, Tht people would thui receive their egg!, Iruit, vegetable! and other larm product! at tho current market rates, tnd Irom their own dealen. There would be tn end to tht difference! in pricei which have caused eo much trouble in tbe pait, by one peddler cutting prion to one cnetomer and railing them to another whom he thought would pay more. Thit would be lound to do justice to tho producer an I conenmer alike, tnd would tecure to tbe farmer! t lure ud ittady market for all they could rain, The Association's plan li to pnt on a itetmer bttween Ladyamiih and Salt Spring Iiland, to make regular trips the year round, They have now in view initable vesiel, and arrangement! will tt once be made to get proper wharl accommodation. The distance to the nearttt ihipping point on Salt Spring, Irom thii port il abont seventeen uiilei. Mr, Gtrdom drew attention to one point which le worth noting, tnd that Ii that the produce eent out Irom Salt Spring Iiland ii itrictly firit-clasi and letchei the highest market prices, Patron! of the propoaad enterpriie could therefore alwajt rely upon having the but firm tnd orchard produce raleed In thli province, Mr, Gardom will be in Lidyimilh to-day to complete arrangement! ior starting the proposed business. A RUSTIC PRINTING I -We know how to do the beit, and we do the belt we know i-Ladyimit'i Leader, LASCAR PECULIARITIES The Master Of The Quito Tolls About Some Queer Ways, When tbe big Scotch eleamor Quito was last in port a Leader reporter had an intereiting obat with Captain Sbotten, in which eome very intereatiug information concerning the natural hlitory oi the hucara employed aboard that ebip was gleaned. Those coolies were taken aboard when the Quito took tbe big grain cargo to Calcutta a year or two ago, to tne order of the BritiBh Government, for the relief of the famine- stricken region! of India. They are all Mohammedans, and the rules ol caste are strictly observed aboard ship. Their iood is almost exclusively onrrio and rice, They would rather starve to death than eat meat which had been killed by unbelievers; but ila sheep were handed over to tbem they would gladly partake after killing and dressing the animal themselves. It ie hard to tell a coolie'e age, but it will hardly be believed tbat eeveral oi tho lot aboard the Quito are eighty years of age. They certainly do not look it, and they do their day'i darg as well as the others, though that ll not saying much, as one white man is aa good aa half a dozen laicari. Like all Mohammedan! theae sailors are fatalists, and tbe captain has had eome etrange experioncee with tbem. One of them will come to him, at eea and eay 1 "I have ieen Allah; I will die on inch or luch a day," And in ipita ol everything that can be done be will die at the time he eayi; simply "dwin- lng" away; nourishment or medicine having no effect at all. At first this suicide-by-contract worried Captain Sbotten, but alter a while be got used to it, and when one of the doomed informed him lhat hia time had come, he just coolly told him to go ahead and yield np the ghost according to programme. There is no other way. They like to be petted and made a fuss of, but that tort of thing ii iatal to efficiency, One plan that worked well wai to put any fellow that came along complaining ol not feeling well at work that would provoke a good hearty eweat; that wai found to cure in many instances. But ii it was a case ol "tee Allah," even tbat would not aniwer, and tbere was a dead coolie demanding eea luneral rites as per date mentioned in first advice, The las- oars are allowed to bury their own dead; white hands would be profanation tbat would jeopardize the deceased's chances of paradlie. The coolieeare very obedient and will ing, skulking being one ol tbe white man'i bad habit! which they have not imitated. They aro all nnder contract, and muit be returned to India when their time expiree, no matter where the ihip may be, and at the expense of the owntre oi the Quito, ********************************** A COMFORTABLE HOME IS THB DESIRE OF US ALL ****** Furniture, Carpets, Linoleums, Wallpaper, Curtains, Crockery, Glassware, Etc., Etc. ****** There is Comfort In Our'floods Every thine to furnish t home in modest or elaborate ityle. : Write for onr large catalogue (free) Illustrated and priced (a store In itielf), WEILER BROS., VICTORIA ***************************************r*j*** .****************************44*4****4** Coal! v Coalll Kafllra Lively Cape Town, Oot. 23.-The trouble! in Sonth Alrica arising Irom the industrial deprenion and political unreast, have now been added to by tie emergency ol the native qneetion in a vexatioui iorm.

JOHN KENSIT'S DEATH History of a Strange and Eventful Career, On October 8th Mr. John Kensit, the leader ol the crusade against riluiiliem in the Ohurch of England, died from the combined effects uf injiirleB received during a meeting in Birkenhead, and Irom pneumonia, which supervened. Mn. Kenelt telegraphed as followa to her daughter in London:—. Father haa now gone to be with Christ. which il lar better. Passed away one minute to lix Perfect peace.—Mother. Tbe ntwt ol Mr. Kensit'ea death was broken to his ion in Walton Gaol by thc Rev. Musgrave Brown, who was accompanied by tbe Magistrate. Mr. Kensit, jun,, wat greatly affected. It is expected that the Home Secretary will permit him to let bit lather's body, Mr. KenBit, it will be remembered, waaieriouely usanlted on September 25tb at Birkenhead, when someone in a crowd threw a chisel at him, seriously wonndlng him over one eye. He appeared to be recovering from tbie injury whtn pntnmonia developed itself, and he gradually graw woree. Yesterday hit condition became hopeless, much to tht itgrtt of hii friends, nnd also thoat who, although not in sympathy with hit mtthods, deplore the cause which indirectly, il not directly, brought inch t tragic tnding to his career, Mr, Ken.it wu identified with Church work irom hit youth, and had been connected with tht Ohurch oi St, Mary Ls Strand, St. John't, Hoxton, and St. John the Baptist, Islington, and he noted as lay htlptr at St. Jame'ss, Holloway.

During the service the officiating clergyman bald np belore the congregation a crucifix veiled in crape, and then, partly uncovering it, laid—"Behold the wood ol the Cross, come let ui adore It," Tht priest then prostrated himsi.li, killed the Crosi, tnd invited tliecon- gregttion to follow hit example. After a number of people had kissed tbe crucifix, Mr. KenBit approached its if to do likewise. Instead, however, be held it upatarm'i Itngth and aaid—"In God's name, I denounce this idolatry in tlie Ohnrch of England. So help me, God." Adlaturbanceenaucd.and the police win Bummoned. Mr. Kensit aubsf qtient- ly appttrtd in Court on a cbarge ol brawling, but wu ditcbarged.
