New Yqhk, April 18.—A large number of boiler makers in tins city struck today and it is believed the strike will involve all iron works in tlio city and will probably spread to other cities. The trouble is said to have originated in tlie fact that.the navy yards pay better wages and exact fewer hours of work than private firms. The men demand concessions which will place them on au equal footing with a similar class of ' borers fender the government. The Healeni are Safe. Washington, April 18,—The str. Alert is not to go to Alaska after all, which will doubtless be good news to tho seal poachers. The navy department was informed to-day that it would take at least 12 weeks to get the Alert in condition to put to sea, and as it waB intended to have the vessel on the ground to assist the revenue boats already there it Is very likely orders will be issued to have the Alert remain where she is. Life In Texan. Ei. Paso, Texas, April 18.—John Barnes, a rancher, living about 8 miles northeast of this city, came in this morning and reported that during the night hiB horses and a large portion of hiB cattle had been stolen. He procured the necessary papers for the arrest of the thieves, and Charles 11. Fuaael- man, commander of the state rangers, went with Barnes to make arrests, A message itiBt in from the ranch brings the intelligence that the thieves opened. fire on Fusselman after he had served the papers, and he wub killed. A detachment of six men will go in pursuit of them; and there is little doubt that the thieves or their bodies will be brought In. - A Terrible K»ploaIon.| Cygnet, Ohio, April 18.—A wagon loaded with nitro-glyceriue shells, used in shooting oil and gas wells, exploded thiB morning with terrible force. The two men on the wagon were blown a hundred yards and nothing was left of them but a few strips of clothing. The horses were both killed and the wagon reduced to kindling wood. The report was distinctly heard a distance of 10 miles, and in the immediate vicinity windows were broken and chimneya levelled. Preparing for the Pray* Nkw York, April 18.—A special to the Times from Albany says: Notwithstanding statements to the contrary, coming from New York City, the employees on the Central Hudson Railway are preparing for a big strike, which they promise will equal that of 1877. The chief grievance is against Theodore Yorhees, The men assert that it has been his policy ever since he became general superintendent to curtail ex* penses and double the work of the men. Tlie first aggressive step was taken by the men tonlay when tlio. foreman refused to operate tho switches at remote Elaces where flagmen's services had sen dispensed with. This necessitated the waiting of freight trains until switchmen could be procured from other places. Meetings are being held by the employees frequently. The West Shore men still hold out, and it now looks*as though the Central men will have to strike alone if a strike is finally agreed upon. • A (.treat Strike Poialble. New York, April 18. —The Sun's special from Lockport, N. Y., says: The trouble along the New York Central over the wholesale discharge of men, is spreading rapidly. From private and trustworthy sources it is learned that the Knights of Labor switchmen and freightmeu of the whole Vanderbilt system of Hues have been holding secret meetings and the executive committee have named a committee to wait upon the executive officials of the company to ask the removal of the general superintendent of the road or else change his —ilicy. against the men. Orders have •en received from New York to remove some 50 or more men ou the Niagara Falls division. Work trains are to lose from 8 to 10 men each. The men are In earnest in the matter of a strike. There has beon a man here in conference with the switchmen and bnikemen, and every ■nan is made to sign a cast iron agreement to go out when ordered. From the talk among the men it is thought that the whole Vanderbilt system will be affected. Not only are the men dissatisfied with this sudden and unex- Slained dismissal, but the heads of the apartments condemn the policy. The result is anxiously awaited on all Bides. A Halfhreed Belle. New York, April 18.—A special to the Herald from Cheyenne, Wyo., says: Dr. J. A. Schuelke Bitot and killed druggist Sullivan in his drug store at Lander, Fremont Co.. this evening. The doctor ih iu jail. Tne accounts of the quarrel which led to the shooting differ widely. One is that the daughter of a wealthy cattleman and his Arapahoe wife was the cause of it. This half breed maid is extremely pretty, being the belle of that section and a terrible flirt. Once she encouraged the attentions of a pretty Indian ehieftan and a bloody war of short duration resulted, whon she coat off the red skin. Schuelke and Sullivan, It Ib said, wooed the girl and were jealous of each other. ceeded the estimate by £100,000 and the telegraph receipts by £90,000. The exact surplus was £3,221,000. The national debt iu 1880 had been reduced £8,205,000. Adding together the previous two years the total reduction was £23,823,000, the largest amount on record for a similar period. For tlie coming fiscal year the estimated expenditure was £86,857,000, and the estimated revenue £00,406,000. Indian and colonial .postage was reduced 2)£d; the duty on tea was reduced to 2d. per pound and tlte duty on currants from 7s. to 2s. per cwt. The increased duty on beer imposed in 1889 was taken off. The inhabited house duty wus reduced and working class tenements under £20 rental were exempted from the House Tax. The Government proposed to raise the rentals for the purposes of the County Councils by an increased duty of 6d. per gallon on spirits and 3d. per barrel on beer ("Hear, hear," aud "Oh, Oh"). This would yield £1,000,000. He hoped that the friends of temperance would be satisfied und thut the publicans would take a broad view of the question. OTTAWA NOTES. The Imperial Budget* London, April 17.—The Budget was to-day introduced into the House of Commons by Mr. GoBchen. The expenditure is shown to have exceeded the estimates by £11,600, while tho receipts exceeded the estimates by over £8,000,- 000. The duty on alcoholic beverages realised over £6,800,000. The beer duty exceeded the estimates by £270,000; the duty on foreign spirits by £421,000; the duty on homo spirits by £1.010.000. and that on wine by £12,000. The drink bill complete exceeds the estimates by £1,- 800,000. The receipts from tho duties on coffee, cocoa and chicory has decreased £17.500, while those of tea had Increased £40,000. The groBs revenues from alcoholic liquors hud been £20,265,000. This showed that there hud been au unusual rush for the, beer barrel, the spirit bottle and the wine decanter. Tho largest increase of all the spirits had beon runt, which was drunk mainly at the seaports. The number of drums taken in 1888 reached a total of 245,000,000, and iu 1880 the appalling aggregate of 275,000,000. "It waB remarkable," Mr. Gosohon said. "that In, 1875 and 1876, tho greatest drinking years previously recorded, there had been tho same rush. Increased prosperity, therefore, meant Increased consumption of alcoholic liquors." The postal receipts had ex- The Political Content at Ottawa.—Lot* of Candidate* In the Field. I From Our Own Correspondent,] Ottawa, April 17.—There aro now three candidates in the field to represent Ottawa iu the House of Commons. They are C. H. Mackintosh, A. J. Christie, both on the Conservative ticket and George Hay, equal rights candidates. The Liberals are sure now to bring forth a standard bearer. Nominations take flace next Saturday, n the House of Commons yesterday, the speaker announced that he had issued his warrant to the clerk in chancery for the issue of a writ for an election in New Westminster, B. C, the vacancy being caused by the death of Mr. Chisholm. The date of the election will be fixed by the returnining officer, A discussion re subsidized steamers is now going on in the House. Mr. Kenny is speaking. A proposal has been submitted to Hon. John Carting-in favor of establishing a weekly newspaper at Ottawa in the interests of Immigration. The Liberals hold a meeting this evening to select a candtnate to represent j Ottawa in the House of Commons. ' The House is now discussing the Bill introduced by Hon. Mr. Tupper "An Act further to amend the fisheries, chapter 05 of the revised statutes." . A NEW SETTLEMENT--ANNIEDALK. The settlers of the north-eastern portion of Surrey Municipality held a mass meeting on Wednesday last, the 16th inst., to discuss a communication received from the Education Department, respecting required school accommodation in the district. Mr. W. Williams was elected chairman, aud Mr. A. M. Parker chosen as secretary of the meeting. The communication from the Education Department propoaed a six mile area to form a school section. This was considered too large by tlte meeting, and on motion of Mr. Thompson, seconded by Mr. A. McDonald, a resolution was passed, objecting to so great a distance east and west, as by so doing it would place the greater part of the inhabitants too far fvom the school house, there being practically no roads. On motion of Rev. Mr. Gordon, seconded by Mr. W. Gillies, the secretary was instructed to write to tho Inspector of Schools, giving the views of the meat- After several able speeches by Messrs. A, McDonald, Jenkins, aud Adams, and Conn. C. Yeomans, of Langley, the meeting closed on the school question. Tito meeting then took up the question of the advisability of giving the new and thriving settlement a name. Mr. J. J. McDonald proposed "Annie- dale," which was unanimously adopted. The newly christened settlement is bounded as follows: On the north by the Fraser, ou the south by the Yule road, on the east by Port Kells, and on the west by the Coast Meridian road. The Columbian wishes every prosperity to the.new settlement, and trusts that its school and road requirements will be met as fur us possible by the Government and the Municipality. Hot For ltrltl.h Columbia. For somo weeks pnst a few enterprising citizens have been selecting from the best stocks aud herds of the province a cargo of thoroughbred horses aud cattle for British Columbia, and, having secured a shipment of nine animals, Messrs. W. L. Young and Jas. S. Morcer left on Tuesday laat for B. C. with the valuable cargo consisting of the following, viz: 1 5-year-old imported Clydesdale stallion. "Home Ruler." (This splendid animal took first prise at the Toronto Industrial for the best Clydesdale stallion with five of his progeny, besides carrying off the laurels at numerous less important shows. He is a superior horse with short togs aud massive flat bone and good feet, weighs about 2,000 pounds and Is a splendid mover.) Two span heavy draught brood mares; 1 Durham bull, 14 months old; 2 heifers, 2 years old. and 1 heifer, 11 months old, all of which have registered pedigrees. This is an undertaking involving a large expense and great risk, yet, if successful, other shipments will follow by the samo trio, MeBsrs. Hugh Mercer, W. L.

The Home News published in London, in its issue of March 14th, publishes the following, which will be of interest to British Columbians: "The Irish Times' London correspondent Bays the Queen is at present confronted with a singular littlo difficulty. There arrived some days ago Bishop Ridley, a distinguished prolate from Vancouver Island. "" bishop \ The irimo favorite with the principal chief or king of tho Island, in whom he succeeded in stirring au intelligent interest respecting tho British Empire, its Sovereign, its peoplo and general concerns. The king, however, seems to have acquired an inaccurate idea of the pecuuinry circumstancos of Queen Victoria, for when Bishop Ridley, before leaving for a visit to this country, Bought a farewell audience His Majesty a purse of $100 on tho prelate's Kalin, with a request thut the sum might o presented as Ms royal gift and favor to tlie English monarch. The position was vory awkward, but serious mission-' ary interests were at stake, so the bishop became puraeboaror and envoy, aud on hia arrival communicated to Sir Henry PonBonby tho naturo of his errand. Tho problem is how to avoid offending the petty potentate, who is expecting due acknowledgement of an offering which, of course, has not been accepted." •—* + 11 here la a little Bible silhouette done bv that master hand Sam Jones: "My ideal of a man is John the Baptist, who jumped on a king and stomped the very feathers out of mm.

PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT, Wednesday'* Proceeding* Continued. (From Our Own correspondent.) THE LIEN LAW. Hon. Mr. Davie wub surprised to heur that the Lien Act of thiB Province waa giving dissatisfaction to the laboring classes of the Province. Tlie hon gentleman thon proceeded to show that there were few or no instances on record of the contractors having decamped leaving their inborors unpaid. That County Court judge who had said (by Mr. Cunningham's account) that the Act was unworkable should be called to account for such an assertion.. The lion, member from Westminster City hud probably misunderstood that judge's remake. The judges should not givo up tho net, but set their minds to working It out, as wua dono elsewhere on othor acts. They hud to Btudy it und do their best to understand it, not drop the net and condemn it as unworkable. He would ask as the hon. member for Yale hud asked, for an explanation from the bill ns to why it was unworkable; thut gentleman had merely asserted that tho act was wrong but he had not shown where the wrong existed. To be wrong the act must have been at some time or other so passed upon in trial in some court. He would like the hot), member to state when those cases happened. House here adjourned at 6 p. m. EVENING SESSION. On resuming at 8 o'clock Hon. Mr. Robson presented two massages. 1, Enclosing Bill to authorize the Government to pay interest at 3 per cent upon moneys paid into the Treasury under the Act relating to payment of moneys into and out of court. 2. Enclosing a Bill to authorize the Government to pay F. B. MacNnmee A Co., #10,000 rnd interest at 5 per cent in full settlement of nil claims re graving dock. Hou, Mr, Davie resumed his speech on the Mechanics Lien Amendment Bill. Mr. Cunningham succeeded him in explanation of his position. He was only representing the mechanics and laboring classes of New Westminster in this mutter, and in asking the amendment of tho Lien Act only voiced their requests. Hon. Mr. Davie suid he hud no fault to find with the language of tlie Bill, but to the principle of it. The principle, so far as he had aeon, was entirely pier- nicious. He would aay that the Lieu Act of 1888 wae anything but an imperfect Act, no difficulty had been found in working under it, The Act was introduced with tho utmost care und he could not understand honorable gentleman getting up in tbe House and saying it was ao unworkable, that mechanics were leaving tho Province in consequence. The present amendment wub an attempt to pull the Act of 1888 to pieces; an attempt which would not be tolerated. Mr. HubIuiu said the principal fault in the present act waa the difficulty of making it work. Two judgea of his ac- quuintance hud said that great difficulty was experienced iu working under the act. Mr. Haslam gave several reasons for his opinions and said he knew there great deal of dissatisfaction nmoiiL mechanics aud laboring men in regard to the act. For himself he could Bay that he hud never seen an iiiBtuncc where it failed to work in any case he ever had anything to do witli, But the mechanics were not to blame in coming to the Legislative Assembly for justice whon they wero told by judges on the bench that the act was remarkable. The mechauics were not to blame in'carrying the matter to the House. - Hon. Mr. Pooley fully endorsed tho remarks of tho attorney -general. In hts opinion this amendment should not be allowed to pass the House. Ho disagreed entirely with the proposal to alter tho present act; it did work woll, ho and tho attorney-general hud worked under it nnd knew whether it did or not. Had not the hon. member for Westminster City plainly stated to the House that mechanics wore leaving the Province because of the unworkableness of the act, he would have stamped such an assertion us a fabrication. But he was bound to believe it us the hon. member doubtless knew what he was talking about. He was very sorry, however, that mechanics should leave any part of the Province because thoy had been told that this act was unworkable. It was too often the case that when a good act had been established, somo one or other ciinie into the House next session with an amendment that waa in reality another act; the present - amendment was not in the interest of tho mechanic, lie would not say that some slight amendments were necessary to tho act of 1888, but this amendment wont altogether beyond bounds. Mi\ Orr had never heard a complaint in Vancouver in regard to this law. He He thought the introducer of tho bill waB mistaken iu saying thus he had aeon mechanics leaving Vancouver for the other side, where it waa said thore was better protection for thorn. Such a thing ho (the speaker) nevor saw Mr. Cunningham rose to a point of explanation and said the Attorney-General had impugned his motives ana thoso of the delegation which hud waited upon him in regard to this question. Hon. Mr. Davie dented this nnd said the delegation had not waited on him. Mr. Cunningham—Well, they tried to wait on you. I was to bo found in tho Attorney General'b office. ■ Mr, Cunningham said that he was perfectly satisfied that what he suid wns strictly correct. He hud stated nothing but what had boon given to liim ub facts. Hou. Mr. Robson said it appeared to him after having heard tho words of tho Attorney-General nud president of the council that ho could not support thiB bill. One might almost say that after the extraordinary statement alleged to have been made by a county court judge in reference to the working of thiB act it would be better for somo intelligent layman to interpret tlte act. They would not be justified in tinkering with au act which had received tho earnest and studious attention of the lato Attorney-General. He had tried his beat to produce a fair, just and equitable act for tho benefit of the inechanicB, and he (tho speaker) approached that act with almost veneration. Bill road a second time nnd committed, Mr. Mason in the chair. Mr, Semlin said Mr. Cunningham had no right to make tho assertion he did that afternoon in regard to the mechan- leuving British Columbia. The honorablo member for Westminster City had stated that he knew of threo cases whoro that hud happened, but surely that was no reason for making such a gonoral statement as he worded. These reports got abroad and did this Province incalculable damage. Mr. Cunningham iu reply said ho hud only stated the facts us they wero given io him, and he wanted to know why it was thnt this country was ao far behind tho Stutoh acrosa the lino. There wub evidently something wanting in tho lawmakers of this Province, nnd thero waa only too plainly nn unwillingness to help tho laboring man in this Houso. There wns nn apparent wish to cause litigation in the legislative Assembly. Hon. Mr. Pooley said as one of tho law-makers of this House ho repudiated the statement, of tho honorablo member in regard to litigation, ub utter rubbish —utter rubbish. That he (Mr, Cunningham) did not know what ho wits talking about, wub only too evident, His action In bringing hi this amendment showed plaiiuythat ho wns totally ignorant of tho whole matter. Mr. Cunningham said he would state ; the facts as they had been given to him in spite of the ire of the president of the Council. We must not set ourselves up as infallible, even the president of the Council must not do that, and he (the speaker) was not to be terrorized by anybody. Hon. Mr. Davie said that in no country on the North American continent were the interests and rights of tbe poor man so sacredly protected as in the province of British Columbia. Iu no country were his wages bo sure of being paid and his collections more surely made. You cannot meot ou tho streets of the cities of British Columbia a man who has been defrauded out of his wages. There are of cause sometimes isolated cases, in which the circumstances do not redound to the credit of the man himself. It was in those countries where the i-ighta of the workingmon were so loudly talked about that the worki'nginan's rights wore most neglected. Tho bill was completely transmogrified during its stormy and eventful career through committeo; but some excellent amendments were made to the act, nevertheless. It was a caso of amending tho amendments with a vengeance. The mortal remains of tho bill are aB follows: Her Majesty, by nml with tbe advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly ot the Pro- vliiec of British Coin ml. in, enacts an follows: 1. Section of the "M.i-lmu.a' Lien Act," being chapter seventy-four of the " Consolidated Acts, 1868," Is hereby amended by adding thereto the following words: "Nothing, however, In this " section shall prevent the lion from attaching " upon the equity of redemption or other Inter- "est of the owner of the land subject to such " mortgage or charge." 2. The figure and letters " 7th" In the last Hue but one of the thirteenth section of the said act are hereby repealed and the words " twenty- " second" substituted In lieu thereof. 11. There are hereby added to theend of section sixteen of the said act the words following:' " And, when not otherwise provided, the pro- " ceedlngs shall be, ns nearly aB possible, according to.the practice and proeeedure in " force iu the County Court; and, when these " are no guide, the practice and procedure used " in the supreme Court shall be followed; and " it It is made to appear to a County Court Judge " tbat the aggregate amount of the lions to be " enforced exceeds the jurisdiction of the " County Court the Judge may make an order " transferring the matter Into the Supreme '■ Court In the same manner as If the proceed- " iiigs had originated there." ■J, The word " said" and the word "or." flint occurring lu the tlrst line of section eighteen of said net, are hereby repealed, and the words " of " the Supreme or County" are hereby Inserted next after the word " judgo" lu the said line. 6. Section twenty-four of the said aet is hereby amended by inserting after tho word "liens," lu the seventh line of the said section, the words " or that such lien has been Improperly " Hied, or that such lien has otherwise ceased to " exlBt." 6, When any mechanic, artisan, contractor, sub-contractor, builder, mill-owner, merchant, or other person, nas furnished or procured materials for use In count meting works or making Improvements, such materials shall not be capable of being sold by private contract for any purpose or be subject to execution or other process to enforce payment ot any debt (other than for the purchase thereof) due by the person furnishing or procuring such materials, and whether the snnic have or have not been in tho whole or In part worked or made pnrt of said works or improvements. 7. In ease it should lH.miu.i_ to npnenr to Ihe Court before which the liens are enforced tbat the contract price for the works or improvements hns been fixed too low by the contractor aud owner with a view to defrauding those who shall not be bound to I the Hen to tbe contract price, as mentioned In section five of the said aet, as amended by this act, but may extend the same to tho actual value of the said works and Improvements, and suoh extension shall, for tho purposes of this act, be considered the contract price. 8.

Starr. Mr. Cunningham, in moving the adoption of the report of the select committee on education, said that he was disappointed at being selected as one of this committee for tbe reasons that at that time ho had not oven seen Mr. Muir, or read any of his letters, dodgers, or other productions; and was not at all well-informed ou the question of the Education Department difficulty. He was happy to say that throughout his life he bad always found hia sympathies quickly enlisted on the side of the weakest, and be had always been ready to take tbe part of the unfortunate and. the oppressed. This ho could Bay without any self-laudation or desire to pose before the House. And it was this spirit that animated him towards Mr. Muir iu tho earlier days of the enquiry. Indeed, he could say with perfect sincerity that if nny prejudice marked hiB thought or action at that timo it was all in Mr. Muir's favor. Then ho felt disposed to allow Mr. Muir a vory louse rein and plenty of liberty to make out Ida caso in Its best light and permitted him to ask questions that, in the light of later knowledge, wore irrelevant and inadmissible. But the honest desire of the committee was to have the investigation full aud free aud that Mr. Muir should have ever op|iortunity of establishing his case. This leniency Mr. Muir was not only not grateful for, but shamefully abused. The course which he pursued iu attempting to prove that he nud a grievance was far more calculated to injure than to aid hiin. The committeo bad positively refused to admit hearsay evidence unless Mr, Muir gave the names of thoso from whom his information was obtained. And principally for this reason tho ire of Mr.Muir hud fallen upon him (tho speaker) in a letter which appeared in the Times on April 12th. The honorable gentleman thon read the letter and denounced it as a tissue of falsehoods. Mr. Muir had been granted evory indulgence, bo might even say license, in formulating his uestions. But any lingering suspicion hat ho (the speaker) might have had that Mr. Muir did havo a grievance wore now totally dissipated. Much na ho regretted to make so harsh a statement he must say that Mr. Muir's evidence was utterly unreliable. Not the slightest trust could lie placed in any of hia statements ; aud horo in this very connection was an argument which ho fancied would be hard to answer—if Mr. Muir would wantonly miflroBpcct him (the speaker) who had never dono him a wrong what would ho do to thoso whom ho regarded ns bis onomica? The honorable gentleman then read a lengthy extract from the evidence to prove whether or not Mr. Muir was given evory chance to testify. Those readings amply showed thnt he had received fair play in this particular, No injustice whatever had boon done to nny one in this enquiry, und at least of all to Mr. Muir.

On another page will be found an interesting report of an interview with Mayor Brown by a representative of this paper touching questions of paramount civic interest at the present ' time. While tho public are naturally and laudably anxious for a speedy and wise solution of all these questions, affecting aB thoy do the City's welfare and prosperity not a little, we think the majority of the citizens and ratepayers will be satisfied, from a perusal of the interview in question, that the Mayor and Aldermen have a good and comprehensive grasp of the situation and aro looking after the City's interests in the prom tees ably and well and furthering a a solution of tho important railway, bridge, ferry, and improvement questions with all possible dispatch. The ratepayers of course are tho llnnl arbiters in all these matters, and, from present appearances, It is safe to predict that thoy will heartily endorse the policy aud actions of the Mayor and Council for Christianity in an enthusiastic degree count for anything, we take it that Stanley's estimate says a great deal. It is a matter for very legitimate pride that the intrepid nature of our race does not aeem in the least degree to be losing its character, and probably Africa, more than any other spot on the earth's surface during recent yean, has drawn out this quality. Livingstone and Moffat, Gordon and Stanley, Mackay and a host of others, riie to the memory, and whilst Christianity continues to endow her children with the bravery she has enriched them with in the past we Bhall be unable to repeat Ariosto's eulogy. Nature, after making him, broke the mould," because each succeeding African missionary seems at least to equal, if not excel, his brethren in all those qualities which were so conspicuous in Mackay " the St. Paul of Uganda." NOTES AND COMMENTS. THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. We published yesterday the majority report of the select House Committee on edncation, and to-day we submit the minority report of the same committee. The full committee, consisting of Messrs. Thos. Cunningham (chairman), George B. Martin, W. H. Ladner, Henry Croft and Charles A. Semlin (threo Govern- ment and two Opposition members), wns appointed over a month ago, on motion of Hon. Mr. Robson, Ministerof Education, to enquire into alleged abuses irregularities iu connection with his department. The allegations, it will be remembered, had been made most recklessly and repeatedly for many months immediately prior to the commencement of the present sessions of the Local House, by the mouthpiece of tho Opposition, tho Victoria Times, and nc sooner had tho committee been appointed, our readers will recollect, than the same paper, wlilch had been so free and bold with its charges, made a most unblushing attempt to pave the way for its anticipated condemnation by the committee. It will be seen by the reports that the Times wub not far wrong in anticipating that its reckless charges and insinuations against the Education Department, und particularly against the Minister of Education, would be shown to be utterly groundless and placed in thoir true light as malicious and unscrupulous efforts to manufacture political capital at any cost. While tbo reports as a whole completely exculpate the Minister of Education and IiIb department from the damaging charges made and bo persistently reiterated by the organ of the Opposition in Victoria, that paper, itself, does not come out of the ordeal without being very seriously discredited in the eyes of all truth-loving and fair-minded people. ^^^^^^^^^ M. A. MACKAY. The rumor thut Mr. M. A. Mackay iB dead means little to most persons, because comparatively few know anything about the man whom Stanley ranked with the missionaries Livingstone and Moffat, It waB Mackay who planted the seeds of Christianity in Uganda, a field of but scanty promise but immense peril. Although Mr, Mackay waa not a clergyman, he waB generally referred to by the title "reverend," and tho fact of his being a layman does not in the least detract from his immense enthmiasm ub a Christian missionary. Stanley, deceived by his youthful appearance, took Mr. Mackay for a young man of not more than thirty-two years of age, but in point of fact he hod turned the corner of two score when the explorer camo across him. Born in Edinburgh, he was the son of a Presbyterian minister better known as tho author of "Mackay'h Geographies." Young Mackay studied for an engineer, receiving a training equal to that of the averuge barrister or clergyman iu England; und soon after entering upon tho practice of his profession rose to high position in Berlin at a mechanical engineering works. In November 1875, Stanley's letter to the London Daily Telegraph, describing his intercourse with Mteaa, King of Uganda, made its appearance, and Mackay saw it. At that time he was twenty-six years of age, and, fired with enthusiasm for the evangelization of the Dark Continent, offered his services to the Church Missionary Society, which had just then received donations amounting to £10,000 for the African missions. Mackay's offer was accepted, and with seven others he went to the heart ot an unknown land. Since that time he never once left tbe field of his self-saorlflce even to return to the coast, and at bis post it is reported he has died. Ho exercised groat influence with the Waganda, who regarded him with a kind of superstitious awe occasioned iu a great measure by hiB wonderful mechanical skill. Although bo far from civilizing influences, Mr. Mackay kept himself well abreast of current thought and literature by diligently perusing the leading reviews with which friends fn Europe regularly kept him supplied. His portrait, taken when he loft England for Uganda, represents a man of handsome faco and determination, well cut features, and a lofty forehead, from which the waving hair iB brushed well back, the Arm mouth at that time being shaded by the suspicion of a moustache. Such was the man of whom Stanley lately wrote, when he declared " These mission societies certainly do " continue to produce extraordinary " men," and, if courage, zeal and love It is well known to all who have studied music that there are three fundamental notes, viz., the first, third and fifth of the Bcale, represented in the natural key of C major by the letterB 0, E and G. These notes, when Bounded together, produce the common chord aud are the foundation of all harmony in musical composition. So it Is in chromatics—there nre likewise only three fundamental colors—blue, red and yellow, forming the triad, whence arises all harmony in painting.—Ex. Benj. Franklin was once dining with an Englishman and a Frenchman, it is related, when the Englishman proposed that, as their three nations were represented, each should propose a toast lu honor of his own country. The English man proposed "England—the sun that lights the nations." The Frenchman proposed "La France, the moon that by her magic rules the tides of the world." Franklin smiled and proposed, "George Washington, the Joshua of America, who commanded the sun and moon to stand still." A letter from Stanley to his New York publishers, Charles Scribner's Sons, says tbat at date of his letter most of the manuscript of his book, "In Darkest Africa," had been prepared, und ho expected to have the remainder completed by April 1st. The veteran explorer seems to have lost in his frequent and long abstinences from writing all love of pouring out his ideas in ink. He says that the manuscript on which he has lately been engaged, will be the only writing he will ever do in regard to the Emin relief expedition. So "In Darkest Africa" is the only work that can claim to be Stanley's full account of tbe great march to Albert Nyanza. The Harrison Hot Springs hotel gets the following free "ad" in an eastern paper: The keeper of a romantic resort on Harrison Lake, near Agassis, B. C, has adopted a plan of pleasing his patrons which, if not perhaps altogether novel, at least indicates the possession of a mind more capable of rifling above conventionalities. Instead of tho usual A and Band 1, 2, 3 which designate hotel rooms, his apartments are labelled Boston, Philadelphia, New York, etc. or Paris Vienna, London, etc. If a visitor from the United States arrives he iB quartered, if possible, in a room whose name appeals to his love of country. - The European names, of course, please tho fancy of others. It only wants the rooms to be painted with scenery to correspond to their names, after the cyclorama, and "Boston" to have a few loose copies of Parker and Emerson around to make the hotel man celebrated and the guests rapturous. What to do with "Chicago" might be a puzzle. A pitcher of dirty water to represent tbe river, a pepper and salt wall paper to represent the smoky atmosphere, and a picture of the coming 'world's fair" would probably make the Chicagoan feel at home.

City lots west of Edinburgh Street, along tho North Arm road, have doubled in value in less than a year, while acre tracts have, in the same time, in some instances more than trebled.

Den.rlpt.oi. or the Machine Which Raised the Oregon Blockade. That particular machine which has worked a revolution in the theory of snow- plow building, and which broke, up the great snow blockade on the Union Pacific tracks in Oregon ia the Jull centrifugal snow excavator-an Invention only a year old. Tho first machine of this kind over built was tried for the first time on Maroh 6,1880, on the Rome, Watertown A Ogdensburg railroad at Oswego. At that point tho tracks of the road were covered for a distance of 750 feet with hard, frozen snow, which had lain there all winter, to the depth of from two to seven feet The Jull machine made its initial bow to this mass, and went through It like a ahot. The Union Pacific railroad bought the machine after two other sucoesBful tests of Its power bud boen mado and sent it to Omaha on its Kansas division. There it laid unused until tbe blockado on the short lino last January baffled iho attempts of the company's othor plows, and then it was sent thero to seo what it oould do. It arrived at Baker City—one end of tho blockade—on January 18, and at. once began work on the great mass, of snow that blocked tho tracks-from that placo-to La Grande. Other plows had been at work on the thing, but had failed to do any good. Tho Jull machine started In and went steadily on, going through tho snow with two powerful engines behind it at the rate of about eight miles an hour. Ou January 30 tho machine cut its way through to La Grande and the blockado was at an end. Mr. Orange Jull, who invented tbe first rotary or Leslie snow-plow, is the inventor of this machine. It is about fifty feet long without tho tender, whioh Ib a littlo smaller than those usod on ordinary locomotives. A boiler containing 220 two-inch flues, und having a capacity of HOO-horse power, furnished steam for tbo engines which work tho excavator. On tbo front ■of tho machino is tho excavator which porforms tho work. It presonts .titling idgosof hoavy steel plate on ihe sides ..lid bottom, while in tho contcr is tho ooutrffugal spheroid, roscmbliug, nearer than any thing olso, a huge auger— S feet wide at the base, and tapering down to a point, with tho apex on ono side, while tho base extends from sido to side. This "cone," as it is called, is fitted with wings or curved blades of steel, 2 feotwldo at the base and tapering to the apex. Tho width of tho machine or the spaces it clears over all is just 11 foot. Its weight Is 05 tons, and every thing about it is of tho most sub* .tantial build. The machinery is very heavy, and, when running at full spood, 'no engines revolve .130 times a minute, while the "cone" makes 800 revolutions. It is fitted with WestinghouBO air brakes. The now machine works upon an en- tiro different principle from tho old rotary plow, oxcept In this, tbat tbo end of both plows Is to genorate a high contrlfugal force In the snow by tho exertion of great power, and throw it out in a solid stream to a considerable distance from tho track. Tho original rotary separates this process into two parts, however—knives to cut the snow nid throw it backward on the fans, and ii fan-wheel used purely to generate contrlfugal force. The new centrifugal plow combines these two processes in one; the front of the plow is entirely open, and in a square box works—entirely oxpoBed to view and to contact with the snow—the Immense oblique gimlet-pointed augur, revolving at high velocity, which, by the same op- oration, catches tbo snow in situ after tho lower plate has cut under it, pushes it rapidly backward, and bo cuts it apart, and at the same time gradually generates the required centrifugal force. Tho screw always turns in the same direction, and tho direction of tbe ot of the discharge is regulated merely jy the openings in the top case. The cone itself is a very heavy affair, weighing alone some six tons. It is built entirely of ftvo-eighth-inch Btoel, eight feet in diameter at tbe base, and consists entirely of warped surfaces for which formers had to be made. The interior ot the blades are of somewhat less than semi-circular section, and they are reinforced on the outaido by a quadrant brace plate, Also of flve-oighth-inch steel, giving the section of the blade an inverted Y form, except tbat tbe lines are curved, and not straight The blades are two feet deep at the base, tapering down to almost nothing at the point— N.

When I was In Washington last and in faot overy time 1 go there, I go over to the Patent Offlco nd roam around, never tiring. Tbe first patent ever granted by thiB Gov mentowas issued by James Madison, Secretary of State under George Washington. It waB issued July 8,1790, to Samuel Hopkins "for making pot and poarl ashes." The second granted was to a man whose name I can not recall, but it waa a permit, so to speak, to man* ifaeture candles. The patent system 1 this Government Is the most compre* tensive in the world. Every thing has . patent on It nowadays or has a patent pplied for. I asked one of tbe officials tbe Patent .Office whioh State had ie largest number ot patents. Iio ,id Indiana. I afterwards learned tbat ie official camo from Indiana, and that ay have prompted the reply.—Chicago Ibune. About Magnetic Needles. k ourlousfact is given by a manufact* •r ot magnetic needles.

Owing to the general anxiety of the public for information ai to the steps being taken by the Council with respect to the important queationa of railway, bridge or ferry, and city improvements, still pending, a representative of Tub Columbian waited on Mayor Brown this morning and elicited the following pretty j lucid and satisfactory statement aB to the policy and intentions of himself and the Council on the questions touched upon. " People are inquiring," began Thk Columbian representative, "if it is the intention of the Council to borrow the $80,000 called for by the loan by-law now before the ratepayers, or to take the same amount from the $150,000refunded railway subsidy?" "That," said Mnyojr Brown, "is for the ratepayers to say. My own idea or policy is to take tbe money from tbe returned railway subsidy, and I believe thnt is the policy of tlie majority of tbe Council." " Will the vote be taken on the loan by-law?" noxt inquired the inquisitive scribe. "Yes," replied Hia Worship, " it is necessary to pnss that by-law, because we cannot begin to expend the money until it Ib voted, and it will be six weeks before we can get a vote ou a new bylaw to authorize us to take the money from the returned subsidy." ' Then, you nre in n hurry to get the money," insinuated tlie newspaper man. "Not exactly," replied the Mayor, "but what we want is authority to expend tlie money; if we wait six weeks for that, we would lose a montli at least LOCAL AND PROVINCIAL Boys' Sailor Hats, from 25 cents up, atJ.

The usuul lacrosse practice will be held ou the old cricket grounds this evening. A large turnout is expected. Tiir Columbian job department is now in running order, and prepared to turn out flrst-class work of every description. * There will be a general meeting of the New Westminster Cricket Club at the Colonial Hotel this evening at 8 o'clock. Members are requested to attend. The water is still very low in the river, but it has risen perceptibly during the last 24 hours. This is thought to bo due to the heavy rains of the past fow days. Salmon and oolachans wore both scarce to-day. Fishing for tlie latter has been so unprofitable that two of the three nets have been withdrawn, pending a more satisfactory run. The river presented a busier appearance than usual to-day, probably owing to the increased number of boats engaged in tho fishing business since Ewen b cannery commenced operations. Tbe Btr. Delaware arrived down from Chilliwack lust night with u full curgo of farm produce. Sbe left again for up river porta this morning v. itli 20 tons of freight and a large number of passengers. The Board of Works is making splendid progress on the different streets nnd sidewalks in course of improvement. The work is being done iu a very thorough manner and to the public satisfaction. The first cricket practice of the season will be held on Queens' Park to-morrow afternoon, weather permitting. Teams have been chosen to make the play more interesting, but all members of the club ure welcome to take a baud in tbe fun. The Jtihllee Singers. One of the characteristic concerts of the Fisk Jubilee Singers opened the week at this temple of amusement and the company sang to a packed house. The peculiar, weird style of singing prevalent among the Southern colored folk iu tire ante helium days, was splendidly illustrated by these natural vocalists, and every selection met with spontaneous aud well deserved applause. The concert, to those who had never heard them, was n revelation, und to those who had listened to the melodious strains in the cotton fields or among tbe cane brakes, it camo like an echo of far off days.—Oregonian, April 6th, Tlie Latest In Strikes. Strikes in all trades have been recorded from time to time, but the idea of a jury striking for their wages was probably never thought of until yesterday, at the county court, Vancouver. Tlie intelligent jury after sitting patiently on the case and bringing in the verdict, became alarmed lor their fees ana "struck work." But thoy hod given their verdict and their usefulness was gone and consequently the court could very well have allowed them to remain on strike until doomsday had it so wished. Judge Bote, however, explained to the jurymen that the court would see that the fees were lmid at the proper time aud place. Thus reassured the striker retired morn than pleased with tbe judge's verdict. ■ •—*—# . Vancouver County Court. Judge Bole has just returned from Vancouver where lie has been holding county court all the week, having disposed of over sixty cases, many of which wero of considerable importance. A special session of the court will be held next Tuesday to clear off a few remaining cases. The want of a proper court house is much felt, us although the mayor and council have carried out all the suggestions of the judge in the way of improving the place, still the building Ib entirely too small, aud has no accommodation for tbe officials, jurors und witnesses. It is noticed with nlea- sure that the judge has expressed himself as being strongly opposed to the practice of summoning a large number of witnesses to prove facts about which there is no dispute, thus adding needlessly to the expenses of litigators and often bringing people away from their business without just cause. Judge Bolo also announced his intention of disallowing tho costs und expenses of all unnecessary witnesses bo that the expense of bringing them would fall on the party summoning them, Children Cry for Pitcher's Cutoria. of the working season, aud our work, of course, wouloTiiot bo bo wull done, not onfy would part of the season be gone, but a number of working men would probably have drifted away to other places." "Then, if this by-law iB passed, you would go on with the work at once?" "Yes; we will have four or five contracts (London Btreet, parts of North Arm road, and Thorn road, and probably Borne work at Sapperton, near the cemetery) ready to let immediately the by-law is passed," said the Mayor. "Well, will you Ibbiic debentures under the by-law?" "As Boon as possible," replied Mayor Brown, "we will put before the people another by-law authorizing the Council to convert the railway bonus and use tho money for ferry, possibly, also, some of it for public market, and perhaps for the Lulu Island bridge, and, say, $82,- 000 for tho purposes Bet forth in the street improvement loan by-law. to be expended under the exact conditions and restrictions of that by-law." "Why $82,000, when the by-law only calls for $80,000?" queried the interviewer. "If you examine the by-law," explained His Worship, "you will see that we calculate on a premium of about $2,000, and, of course, this must be made good; if we borrow thin money from ourselves, we will have to pay ourselves the pre inium." "Then you think it necessary to pass the loan by-law?" "Yes; most of the cost involved in passing it has been incurred already,nml the saving of a month in the working season is well worth the Blight extra expense still necessary." " Do you anticipate any opposition at all to taking the $80,000 from the railway money?" "I believe," answered tbo Mayor, " that some advocate keeping the railway subsidy as a nest egg, so to speak for the bridge building fund." " How is the question to be decided?' "By the ratepayers, of course; tbe money can not be touched for any pur pose without a by-law; so that tho ratepayers, by their votes on the by-law. will decide how it is to be appropriated." "What is your policy with regard to the 'bridge?" asked Thk Columbian' mun, opening up a new question. "Mypolicy," replied Mayor Brown, " is to put ou nn efficient ferry, good enough to afford satisfactory communication with Surrey; and then to appropriate $1,000, or thereabouts, to defray the expenses of taking the necessary soundings, etc.; in fact, of getting up complete plans, specifications, and estimates for the bridge; in a word, to go thoroughly and deliberately into the question, so that we will know just what we are doing before undertaking a work of that magnitude. Then, to approach both the Dominion and Provincial Governments on the question of subsidy, as the work is a Provincial, not merely a local one, and fully as much entitled to a subsidy as any ordinary railway." "And in the meantime?" "In the meantime use the funds in hand to develop local resources, improve the City, and put ourselves in flrst-class position to stand a bridge loan when we require to make one," replied Mayor Brown. "What about the railway?" persisted the insatiable ink destroyer. "The general impression seems to be, said the Mayor "that we will make the railway entirely welcolme provided it does not cost us anything to speak of." "How soon do you expect to be able to submit the whole question to the ratepayers?" was the Parthian shot of the quill-driver, as he stood with hiB hand on the door. "It is scarcely possible to say exactly,' replied the Mayor, cautiously, "but we hope to do so within three weeks at furthest," ^^^^^^^^^ Some Heal Kitate Sales. Heal estate has been Belling very freely during the past few days, and the dealers have been kept busy closing transactions. The opinion so freely expressed a few weeks ago that real estate was going to fall flat and not regain activity this summer, has not proved correct, and thoso who are in the best position to judg < uj these things have abundant confidence that Westminster is only on the eve of Its greatest prosperity. Since the beginning of tlie present week Messrs. Rand Bros, have made the following sales: 154 acres out- Bide tho City limits, $15,400; lots 45 aud 47, suburban, block 6, $0,000: 33 feet on Columbia street, between McKenzie and Lorn streets, $15,000; lot 2, block 4, Sapperton, $4,400; 28 lots in the Milton estate, $7,000, and a few smaller sales. Messrs. Major A Pearson's tales have aggregated $51,000 during the week. Messrs. Mowat A Sloan have disposed of 30 City lots and several blocks at Brownsville; Messrs. F. J, Coulthard A Co. sold 30 lots aggregating a large sum. Messrs. Woods, Turner & Gamble Bold $10,000 worth of City property, and several valuable district lots. Messrs. S. T. Mackintosh A Co. have had a fairly busy week. Thoir Bales have been largo both in City and district property, aggregating for the week about $22,000. Thus it will bo seen that real estate is going ahead, and that the demand for Westminster property is continually on the increase. «,—»_-» Polio* Hatters. The slumbering echoes of the lockup corridom were very rudely awakened late Inst night by a man named Alex, Robb, who was taken to the station in a very drunk and somowhat boisterous condition. The echoes that had lain dormant so long were Boon tossing from wall to wall a very drunken and incoherent rendition of "we're jolly good fellows," which song Mr, Robb rendered throughout the eniire night, disturbing Constable Smith's usually peaceful rest by tbe strange and wonderful variations introduced in the music. At the pollco court he sung another tune. He only arrived from Vancouver yesterday and had the misfortune to become intoxicated wit bin a very short space of time. His intentions were good, and the same trouble would never occur again if the present offence was overlooked, The magistrate overlooked the offence, but advised Robb to leave town forthwith or V ho might be obliged to remain for at least 0 months. He left. Louis, a Chinaman who has served a great many terms in the provincial gaol, and who is known to be one of the most notorious Indian whisky peddlers in the city, wus gathered in last night by Constable Dominy and charged with vagrancy. The Celestrial protested strongly against the charge, but was unable to prove that he was posessed of sufficient wealth to exist without labor, and was likewise unable to furnish proof of being employed in any honest trade or business. As it was considered Louis would be safer under the charge of the prison officials than roaming at large, the magistrate sentenced him to six mouths in gnol with hard labor. .—, *—•—♦ The Mainland Association. The meeting of the Mainland Association was held at 3,30 this afternoon, the President, Mr. J. R..Brown, in the chair. The minutes of tbe last meeting were read by Mr, It. H. Alexander. There was a large attendance of delegates. The President explained that he had called this meeting in accordance with the desire of the executive that the Association should he called together as soon as possible after - the redistribution bill had been brought down in the House. That bill had been brought down, nnd jt was now before the meeting for discussion and action. The president then went through tho proposed hill und showed how unfair were its provisions. He thought that the endeavors of the Association should he used to have the sectionalism now prevailing removed. This could only be done by a fair treat ment of all districts, and hy returning only such men to Parliament ns would pledge themselves to work for the Province as a whole, and not for only one portion. Mr. Scott, of Port Moody, gavo a long speech ou the so-called bill. Dr. Boddington, Mr. W. B. Townsend and others also spoke on the bill, and a committeo was formed to prepare resolutions to be laid before a meeting to-night. Capt. Tatlow said as far as Vancouver was concerned that city would have boen better pleased to nave taken its chances as a portion of Westminster District, thkn have two members under such a bill as that introduced in the House. This remark was received with groat applause. House. Report adopted. BUI will be committed Friday. Hon.

PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT. (FROM FIRST PA <SK.. Hon. John Robson in allowing questions to be asked which should in strict justice, have been ruled out. And to make such an unwarrantable onslaught ou him (the speaker) above all persons in the community, ub Mr. Muir had done iu his communications to the Times was quite beyond his comprehension. Mr. Cunningham then entered into a careful explanation of each item in the report, and a considerable share of the correspondence was read. The inexplicable conduct of Mr. Muir in obstinately refusing to surrender Wellington school, to which he had been appointed temporarily, when the permanent lady teacher, Miss Ramsay, arrived, wus strongly commented on by Mr. Cunningham. Such behavior was uugallant, stupid and mean. As to the closing of English school, Lulu Island, not only was that act perfectly proper, but, under the circumstances, was really au act of kndness; aud far from resulting in any detriment, was eminently a happy measure, in that it relieved the trustees of a mischievous teacher and i dangerous man—Mr Muir. In his able disquisition on the Van couver school matter, Mr. Cunningham said thut hud the Education Department denied the request of the Vancouver trustees the press undoubtedly would have teemed with complaints of tyranny and despotism. Upon the famous question of the extraordinary demand made by Mr. Muir for the cancellation of Miss Rutherford's certificate, the honorable gentleman warmed up to an interesting point of indignant eloquence. He graphically delineated the rather romantic details of that little story, and told of Mr. Muirs' entrance into the school room to take shelter from the rain; of his mean, spying actions there, and the joy with which he received Miss Rutherford's admission thut, owing to the heavy rain storm, Bhe had not called the roll of her little charges at the usual hour that morning: and of her proceeding to do so just before recess, nnd Mr. Muir's boasting as* sertion to this young lady, before he took his departure, and ub he waB signing the visitors' hook, "I have been fighting the Government three years." Then he went hiB way to lay his inform- ation and try togettfiisiioororphangirl, who had never done him nny harm, thrown out of a situation. Wus ever a more despicable, dastardly, cowardly aud cruel act done by any man? What feelings but those of kindness and sympathy could be awakened in the heart of a true man at the very name, orphan girl? Mr. Muir blurted out, with a candour that certainly did him credit, that he resented Wm Rutherford because he thought she wub Hon. Mr. Robson's niece. This intensifies the total depravity of tho man's action. Attempting to injure him whom he considered to be his enemy, by letting the blowi fall upon a defenceless orphan girl, Such consummate villainy was disgusting to contemplate; and no man with a particle of the love of justice in bis com- Sosition would for a moment attempt to efend or countenance such terrible depravity. (Applause), The hon. gentleman read the letter of Miss Rutherford, which clearly exposed the "true inwardness" of Mr. Muir's conduct nud flatly contradicted some of his statements. A letter from W. C. Coatham regarding the answering of certain questions was also road, una it also seriously upBet some of Mr. Muir'u remarks. Aud yet Mr. Semlin had suid that the conciliation of this man's certificate was ill- advised. The hon, gentleman's eloquent speech was received with npplntiBe from both sides of tbe House. Mr. Croft In secoudidg this resolution drew attention to the fact that the letter in the Times signed J, N. Mufr was published before the report of the committee was made public. Mr. Muir had every chance of fair play and there was no injustice done. After considerable discussion on the subject the report was adopted, Hon, Mr. Turner moved the second reading of the Supply BUI. BUI read a second time and committed, Col. Baker in the chair. Committee rose and reported the bill and it was read a third time and passed. House went into committee on the message of His Honor, the Lieutenant- Governor, on the hill re payment of moneys into and out of court, Mr. Ladner iu tbe chair.
