Wednesday Moruhig, May ■«, isw. current Events and Opinions* Tlio Britisli pessimists are having a sorry time. Instoud of Britain's navy being inferior to the navy of Franco, ib is now found to be in efl'ective strength superior to the navies on paper of France and any , one othor European powor, combined. Russia, too, whose naval strength waa reportod to be such as to give little hope for British commerce, is now found to bo almost exclusively composed of vessels of old pattern, and armed with guns of old structure. The trouble with Britons is, that they are always ready to believe that they themselves aro in decadence, and that other nations are advancing at their expense. The development of Britain's naval and military strength during tho past quarter of a century, and the growth of her commercial power, and accumulation of national wealth, have, under Liberal rule, boen without parallel in the history of any country or any empire.—-Ottawa Free Press. Since President Cleveland's inauguration thero have beeu times when the Democrats became exceedingly cool towards hiin and there have been other times when the Independents hnvo beon just ns cool. Up to the present time, however, he has avoided an open break witli either of the two parties wliich elected him, and he has done this with an adroitness that cannot fail to excite amazement. Mr. Cleveland must be a born diplomatist. His diplomacy is rather of the Russian order. To-day the Independents are sure they have him, and tomorrow the Democrats are equally confident. To-day ho makes appointments that delight one class of hia supporters and disgust the other, niid to-morrow the disgusted party, is delighted and the delighted party disgusted. Through it nll, however, the president seems to convince everybody of one,'Filing, and that is, that lie himself .is running this administration,—Seattle Post. It is truly astonishing what it- ready cry ist raised by most men, even many Christian men—for war, nnd what contemptuous allusions are often made even by christian ministers, to anything that savours of a "pcacc-at-iuiy-prico" policy. Many a pulpit denounces Mr. Gladstone, because of tho truly christian horror he appears to have for war, and probably from the same pulpit earnest prayers go up in behalf of peace. The feeling is strongly abroad that it is a brave thing to show fight on the smallest national provocation. There is somtjthing painful in such exhibitions. Surely a christian nation should not resort to war until ali peaceful methods havo been exhausted. Air. Ruskin suggests that it was an ancient version of the Bible that taught: "Blessed are the peace-makers, for they shall be called the children of God," and that the modern version is: "Blessed aro tho war-makers, for they shall be adored by tho children of men." There can be no doubt but "the spirited policy" of BcaconsHcld aud Palmerstou was much more popular with a very great proportion of the christian people of England than thu pcacc- seektng policy of Gladstone.— Truth, Vlntllvostoek and Port Hamilton. In ciisu thu present imln-uglin botween England nnd Russia should ro- Hult in war, tho Asiatic const of Russia in likely tu become thu scoiia of great activity, if nut of surious hostilities, Vladivr.stock, which will in those circumstances become tho Itussian centre uf operations, stands on the Upper Japan Sen, nenr the Chinese nud Corenn frontier, in a deep bight in the const line. It is fully fifty miles southwest of the point where tho Amour river empties into the Sea of Okhotsk. Up to tho time of tho Crimean war, n large portion of the lower Amour valley belonged nominally to China, hut the Russians hod established themselves at the mouth of ihis river, nnd waited patiently until they had n chance to extend nnd consolidate their authority. In 1858, by tho treaty of the Aigune, China coded to Russia tho left bnnk of the Amour river down to the confluence of the Usuri, nnd bolow thnt point both luniks. This treaty wns afterwards disavowed by tho Chineso authorities, but their difficulties with Franco and England, whose armies occupied Peking, enabled Gun. IgnntielF to obtain a second treaty iu November, I860, which confirmed his sovereign in possessiun of the territories ahove mimed, nud more minutely defined tho buiindnries. "This acquisition of territory," snid a writer ill the Edinburgh Iteview twelve years ago, "mngnificeut as it wub in the vast extent of country thereby added to the Russian dominions, had its chief value -for the moment nt leant—in the fact of ita conferring tho long- coveted ndvautnges of accessible har* bora on thu Pacitio in a comparatively temperate latitude, where navigation The British Columbian. VOLUME 27 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1885. NUMBER 42 is impeded by ice for, nt tho most, threo or tour months during the yenr. Tlio southernmost gulf of tho (lowly- coded region, lying in latitude 43 N., contains numerous fine harbors anil inlets." Tho river Tumen waa now the southern boundary of Russia in theso parts, nnd divided its province from the kingdom of Corua. The territory has been finully rounded off and completed, as it wero, by tho treaty with Japan, made in 1875, by which the hitter cedeB to Russia, in exchange for the Kurile Uluuda, the southern portion of the grent island of Sagha- liun. Vladivostok, which lies near the southern paint of the territory thus acquired, stands on one of the finest harbors iu the world, with anchorage for sixty or seventy ships of war aud 200 merchantmen. Thore is an outer anchorage, which is a fairly snug rond* Htead, called thu Eastern Bi'sphorua. From this runs direct to the right tlio inner harbor, called thu Gulden Horn, after n less convenient, if more'celebrated, purt in Europe. ¥hisJBabout three miles long, nud not. much above half u milo wide. Tho largest ships can ride within a few yards ef tho shore. The peculiar form of the port renders its defense by torpedoes and batteries easy. Tho town which has sprung up stretches horizontally along the shore of tho bny, and is practically composed of a single long street running north and south. The houses, which are all of wood, are not too numerous, and auy increase'to the snmll fixed population creates a house famine at once. The civil population is not large, aud is composed principally of Chinese and Mnnciioos, who are credited by thc Russian officers with being, in general, fugitives from justico. A lnrge number of female convicts from European Russia aro nlso settled there. The necessaries of life, which hnvo to be brought from Coren nnd Manchuria, nre dear, but tho grent necessity of warlike operations—conl—is available in case of n blockade, ns thoro is a senm of conl nenr by, although not of the best quality. Extensive dry docks have been lately constructed there by the Itussian government, ami, ns indicated in our dispatches to*dny, thc harbor lias been effectually closed to hostile ships by the judicious arrangement of torpedoes. Tho harbor is free from ice during ten months {if the year. Whilo Russia hns been concentrating stores and warlike npplinnc.es at Vlndi- vostock, England has mnde a counter- move by tho seizure of Port Hamilton, some 000 miles to the south, which commands the Corenn strait, the southern entrance to the Sen of Japan. The Nnn How group of islands consists of tho two largo islands Sudo nnd Sun- hodo, with a smaller island called Ob- sorvntory island. The larger islands are deeply indented, their northern ends almost meeting, while Observatory island ia situated between their south-eastern points, forming tho spacious and well-shultered hnrbor known as Port Hamilton, the main entrance to which is in the south-eastern; part of the group. This entrance wi.ll nd- mit vessels of tho greatest draught, while the northorn entrance, 250 yards wido, may bo used by smull vessels in lino weather. Tho holding-ground is excellent, and there is room in tho harbor fur a largo fleet. Port Hamilton is so well protected that it affords shelter in the worst weathor. Sudo, the largest of these islands, is 050 feot high, and Sunhodo is 7811 feet. They hoth present rugged, huld sides un either side uf tho entrance, and, if fortified, iu connection with Observatory island, could bo defended against nny force. There aru several Corean villages on those islands containing about two thousand people. Evory available spot is cultivated, the principal crop being millet. Port Hamilton is over thirty milea off the main Corean const and 40 miles north of tho lnrge island of Quelpart. By occupying these islands England has removed her huso of supplies, iu the event of war, over 1,000 miles nearer to Vladivostok, ns Purt Hamilton is only 140 miles from Nagasaki, where the inexhaustible coal mines mu being worked, nnd shu enn, within two weeks, make a depot of eonl which will last her tleut for months. Sufficient supplies can nlso bo gathered iu a short time from Hongkong nnd thu Chineso nnd Japanese ports to make her quito independent of neutrals after war is declared. Tho English fleet will not only guard tho Corenn strait, but cnu gather at Port Hamilton for any descent upun tho Russian possessions iu Siberia. With the Corean strait thus guarded, and one or two ironclads in tho straits of La Per- ouse and Tsugar, the Russian fleet will bu practically confined tu the sea of Japan, aud no vessel enn escape to prey upun English commerce. The reasons whicli intluuncod tlio English govornment to seize upon Port Hamilton are thus madu plain, The Russian cruisers in the sea of Jn- pnn must remain there, nnd those out in the North Pacific will bu kopt from reaching their huso of supplies, \yimt Ooroa thinks of England's action ia quite au unimportant matter, without llio treaty powers Interpose some objections, Japan will certainly bu disgusted to find tbat shu has such a powerful neighbor, and China will bo equally indignant when shu realizes thnt England is almost ono thousand miles nearer Pekin. Hongkong has heen a thorn in hor side for many yoars, nnd Port Hamilton wilt be oven a sharper uuc—Philadelphia Erening Telegraph. Loss of Britisli Ships. Tho record of Uritish shipping for the nine yoars from 1875 to 1883, as revealed by recent statistics, presents a melancholy story of wrecks and lues of human lifo, Tho numbor of British nnd colonial rogistered vessels utterly wrecked wns 0,1 Oil, the sailors Inst 18,340, nud the passengers 2,158. There is n class of the British ships which are described at unregistered, and of tlioso 788 went down, drowning 815 sailors nnd 141) passongers. Tu those is to be added disasters occurring in rivers and harbors, which includes 427 vessels, 253 sailors and 802 passengers, lu nil theso cases the lo&i of vessels was total. Thoro were bolides 1,203 vessels partially wrecked, and involving the loss of 1,807 hands and 283 pnsseiiguvH, making iu nil a loss of 21,224 bauds nnd 3,302 pas- songors in the nine yenrs. jyi. K.

It has been stated by hoth Mr. Homer nnd Senator Mclnnes that there does not seem to lie any prospect of a reduction in tin' timber dues, Tlie Dominion government seems to have framed tlie land and timber regulations without consulting any of the persons who would have been nble to give intelligent advice respecting tbe circuinstances ami requirements of the country, and tlie result is what might have been looked for. We hope, however, tbe agitation for a revision of these obno.v.ous regulations will notecase. If they nre enforced as they stand, it is tlie whole country tliat will have to pay the increased tax. Lumbermen will not pny it. Thoy will simply advance the prico of lumber sufficiently to cover tlie increased dues, and our contribution to the Dominion treasury will ho increased by nearly £">0,000a yoar. It will he seen, therefore, that evory person in Britisli Oolumbia lias a direct interest iu the limber regulations, and ought to interest himself .. in securing a reduction in the present excessive charges. Brnncli Runway. Some months ago a sale of eity squares was announced to provide money for the purpose of connecting this eity by railway with the O.P.R. The scheme fell through because of opposition by some of our citizens who conceived that their property would he injured hy tlio sale, and who were supported in tlieir opposition hy persons interested in Port . Moody, a rival town. At tho last session of the local legislature, however, the bill was so amended as to prevent another failure in the event of a sale heimr undertaken. It lias been a matter of considerable anxiety to the city that so much time has elapsed before any movement has been made towards the construction of tliis branch railway. Last year most of us believed that before this timet- the syndicate would have had its arrangements al, the western terminus much nearer completion than they are. But everywhere tlie wave of financial distress has left its marks, and the syndicate does not seem to have escaped. In consequence of its embarrassment tliere has been very little done at this end of the line)( apd we seem to be uo nearer a definite solution of the problem which has been troubling us than we were a year ago. Tn a let- ler received by one of our citizens from Mr. Homer the other day it is hinted that tlie syndicate might undertake the construction of our branch line very soon if the promised bonus would be available. Tins is a matter of the gravest importance to our city, tt is useless to point out what we have stated so many times already, that without railway connection this city must bo content to occupy a very inferior position in the future. New avenues of trade are opening up, and we are being cut off from the traffic which has hitherto been so important a factor in our development, Railway connection we must have, and it cannot come too speedily. If Mr, Homer can induce the syndicate to go ou at once with the construction of the connecting link, we are sure this city will find ways and means to furnish nt once the promised bonus. In any event the company must finish tin; railway to this city next year, hut let us have it this year by all means if wo can get it, and let us have it without delay. Threatened Invasion. When the Canadian Pacific. Railway has been completed, and the thousands of Chinese coolies whu are now employed upon it havo been thrown out of employment, what will become of tins province ? The question is a most serious one, and will be so regarded by every person who reflects upon the circumstances, At the present time Chinamen continue to arrive by almost every steamer that comes to these shores. Tho country is full of them. They have found their way into nearly every industry, and wherever they go the wliite laborer is crowded out, It is a fact beyond dispute that there is very little demand for labor now in this provinco. Tlie places which years ago were open to white mon are now tilled by Chinese. When the thousands who now find steady employment on the railway works come to outer tho ordinary labor markets of the province, it is impossible clearly to fortell what will be the consequence. There must lie distress and starvation somewhere. When railway construction ceases the labor market will not be large enough for both the white's and the Chinese. But where shall they go? The gates are shut against them in the United States, and very few of them are able to return to the flowery kingdom. Like a plague of locusts they will spread over the face of the laud, devouring that which ought to feed and sustain our white population, and leaving the country in poverty and desolation. Tliose who wero responsible for bringing these people into this country ought to be made responsible for their exit. The province cannot afford to keep them, and it cannot- afford to send them back to China. If it were possible at a moderate expense to ship 10,- 000 of tliese Chinamen to Ottawa and plant them there under the eyes and nose of the commoners ami senators, perhaps this would be tho speediest and most certain way of obtaining satisfactory legislation on the Chinese question. The people of Ottawa (who arc nearly as numerous as the people of British Columbia) would not tolerate the presence of these celestials for a month, and such a protest would be sent up as would force the government to action, But we cannot send them to Ottawa, and the burning question still remains, What shall we do with them? Revising Barristers. Although every oue of our representatives at Ottawa seems to bo supporting thc new Dominion franchise bill, we cannot too strongly protest against a measure that seems to have beeu framed for the purpose of suppressing an honest and independent vote of the peoplo, As first submitted tbo -bill allowed Chinese and Indians to vote, but cut oil' large numbers of wliite men who, in this country, now enjoy the right of voting! Siriohn was prevailed upon to strike out tho Chinese, and after a large light he agreed to an extensive modification of (he clauses relating to Indians. But the iniquitous "revising barrister" clauses remain, and so long as they remain the bill should be opposed by every patriotic Canadian. The Week, a thoroughly independent, journal, which cannot be charged with Grit proclivities, has this to say about the bill: "To bring tm a political crisis with a military crisis already in existence, merely for the sake of forcing on everybody a uniformity which nobody desires, was surely not the part of a statesman. Unfortunately the measure cannot be called purposeless; the longer the discussion lasts the more clearly it appears that there was an object, and that the object was, under color of regulating the franchise. to perpetuate Ihe ascendancy of the party now in power. The proposal to enfranchise the Indians speaks for itself; tliese poor pensioners of the commonwealth must needs vote with the meal bag, wliich is in the hands of the agents of the government, and more than one constituency might probably he strangled by their vote. That, however, which bears more distinctly the mark of a sinister policy is the provision for the appointment of revisitig-barristers to draw up the list of voters and decide upon the title to vote, which has called forth widespread and most reasonable indignation. The revising-barristers are to be appointed all at once by Sir John Macdonald, under the conventional alius of the governor-general in council ; there is to be no appeal from their decision except with their own consent, nor any means practically of getting rid of them so long as they continue io serve the interests of the party by the head of which they are appointed. In England the revising-barristers are appointed by the judges, and hold their offices only for a year, The patronage will of course be exercised on the strict party principle, and ill omened mimes nre already heard. We have seen enough to' be convinced that such nominees would shrink at a pinch from no disregard of electoral rights, and that tiie more unscrupulous the service they rendered the surer would bo tlieir reward. If the Canadian people submit to such treatment they will show themselves bad guardians of their freedom ; but their minds have been so perverted by party influence that thero is no saying what they may do with their birthright if party calls for tlie sacrifice. In the United States there would be always a hope of reversal in the senate, and at present there would be the certainty of a presidential veto on iniquity; but our senate is a registration office and our president is a figure-head." The Week does not use stronger language thnn seems to us justified under tho circumstances. And it is by no means alone. Wo have not seen an opinion from any sectiou of the independent Canadian press that does not condemn heartily tlie franchise bill. We hope it will not become lav.. If it does, hundreds of people in this province will be deprived of votes, and machinery will be provided that may at any time prevent a candid expression of public opinion at the polls, Dl'i'KXD UroN It.—You can depend upon ETngynrd'fl Yellow Oil as a pain rc- liovor in rheumatism, neuralgia antl nil painful and inflammatory complaints.

Susi'ExnKU. — What has been by courtesy called the Daily Telegraph reached its 27th number on Tuesday morning, aud announced that it would suspend. There are probably few persons in tho city who will regret this early collapse of a venture which possessed neither judgment nor virtue. Au honest attempt to establish a respectable daily newspaper in this city wuuld enlist a good deal of sympathy and support, although it is almost certain that it would be a cause of constant and heavy expense to its publisher). No person without practical training and experience can form an intelligent notion as to tho cost of running a daily newspaper in this province. Thuro may bo some ambitious enough to venture upon the enterprise, but thero are fuw who possess tho capital and aro willing to invest that capital' whoro there cau bo no dividends. The publishers of The Columbian would long ago have given this city a daily newspaper if thuy could lmvo seen a probability of its even paying expenses; but after carefully counting thc cost they have been forced tn tiie conclusion that it would nut boa financial success. Aud yet this establishment is fully supplied with tho plant and machinery for a duily newspaper, with fast presses of the most approved pattern, and steam power, and in the possession of these it could compete successfully with an offlce of inferior uiiuipmunt. But wu must bo content with such institutions as thu city and community am abtu to support. A half starved daily is worse a great deal than a well-fed semi-weekly. When tho C, P. R. has beun completed nnd opened this city may bu able to support a daily, and when that tiriic'donies we shall bo prepared to iindcrfAliu thu publication of it or at least to give it our aid. The Telegraph wan undertaken, apparently, by persons who understood tio part of tho business into whioh thuy ventured. It came into existence ou false pretonces, and after deluding a fuw supporters with boastful promises, ruslu'd to final collapsu, Tho very lifo of a daily newspaper must ho its telegraphic despatches; hut the Telegraph very quickly discovered that its patronage was too limited to pay for these despatches, and it began to economise by cutting off its own head. Its managers committed thu gravo mistake, too, of attempting tu set thu mural sentiment of the city at defiance and issuing a Sunday paper filled with a kind of literature that was hardly fit fur liven secular reading. On theso grounds we aru not sorry that it has collapsed. It deserved no butter fate.

The Queen's Birthday. HOW IT WAS CELEBRATED IN THE CITY. By arrangement of tho committee the celebration of the Queen's Birthday in thia city took pluce yesterday. Shortly after 10 o'clock the horse races began on Columbia st,, and shortly after they began it commenced to rain. Tlie weather cleared up at noon, however, and the aftornoon wns nil that could be desired. The citizens turned out in large forco, and it was gener&lly remarked that tho number of Chinamen and Indians was equal to that of the whites. Tho first race, A milo, was won by Geo. Black's "Bob Burns," Croasman'B "Larry O'Brian"- coming in second, nnd Stewart's Roan being distanced. In the second raco Black's "Granville" took first money, with "Larry" second. In the third race Pittendrigh's "Billy" took the stakes, and Black's "Tuck" in thu fourth. The Indian pony race result* ed in a foul. At 12 o'clock tho artillery company fired off a royal salute frum a battery of two old-fashioned guns, which is the only defunse that haa been given to this city. The guns were placed on the brow of the hill, overlooking the river, immediately in front of Albert Crescent. They were handled with much precision. The riflo company fired a feu do juio, and tho two companies gave three cheers for the queen. At 1 o'clock the boat raceB began, and attracted many spectators. The 4-oared gig race was won by an Indian team from Burrard Inlet, the MoFec boat coming in second nnd the Alpha awny behind. The sailing race did not come off, aa there was no wind. It will come off as soon as the crews and the winds are ready. The Indian skiff raco was won by the Mus- quimB, and the other skiff race went to Geo. Meat, of the South Arm. The Indian canoe race was a beautiful struggle wliich elided in a draw, and the money was divided between the two crows of Musquim and Langley Indians. The rest of the afternoon waa taken up with tho foot races and other athletic spurts, which tuok placo on Columbia st. The 400 yd. running raco, the 100 yd. race, and the hurdle race were all. taken by RA White. White and Eickhoff took -file 3-leggud race; Eugene Rousseau camo in first in tho boys' race, but a foul was claimed; Connie Mundy took the girhV race, and the balance of the atreet sports had not been completed at the time of going to press. There was a dunce in the Drill Shed iu tho ovening. During tho day excellent music was furnished by tho city band. — .-*■» ..■■ Ah'ek TwKNTv-TiniKE Years' Suffer- ino.—Rev. Wm.

From Olinton. i Correspondence or tho Columbian.) Clinton, May 22.—We have had a continuance of delightful weather. Copious rains havo fallen during tho last ten daya, nnd there is a good prospect of a bountiful harvest and a plentiful supply of feed tor cattle. Irrigation may be dispensed with thia season; indeed there wero at one time fears expressed of a scarcity of water in the creeks for that purpose. About eleven ox-teams passed down a few days ago to Yale to bring up freight for tho upper country merchants, Thuy arc on the road in competition with tho C. P. R. The time table is uot the trouble, but tho exorbitant and unreasonable charges made on the railway. We trust the bull team will outstrip the bullgine.

The old system was a groat annoyance to persons ordering seeds especially, ns four weeks at least would be wasted before thu articles could bo released from thu custom house. This excellent convenience is owing to tho efforlB of our representative, Mr. Reid, at Ottawa, to whom tho thanks of the country at largo aru duo for his promptitude and energy in getting the authorities at Ottawa to make bo desirable a change.

Apostolic Succession. EUlTOn Columbian*,—Had I wished for evidence of thc effectiveness of my arguments so far, I could not have had better testimony than that furnished by my friend of Lorno College lu his lust letter. Thu controversy is not a pemon- al oue with me, and therefore 1 shall pay no regard to thc attempt be makes to divert attention by weak nud unbecoming ridicule. Shakespeare, and uvea Holy Scripture, aro in the same breath made to do service in unseemly banter. Ridicule is a keen-edged weapon, and he who uses it U very liable t-i take it hy tho blade. Wo will, however, dismiss it without further remark and proceed. I shall uow he spared tlie trouble of dealing with Parker's ordination, na announced in iny last, s'lice niy critic entirely gives up the hope uf defending the succcB3if>n through Koine. 1 thank him for this, since it makes my task so much the easier. 1 mn sure, however, that thu best informed of Ida own acliool would not bo so grateful to him for the admission, especially since it is contrary to fnct. It seems to ba vory convenient for our friends tu know nothing at i.U itbo.it things, when they begin to get into close quarters. 1 bold my critic responsible tor leading mo by bin positive and dogmatic defense of Parker's ordination into supposing thnt ho wns going to muko a stand for succession through Rome at that poiut, Now he torus round nnd saya that all iny remarks about Kumnn orders were "disordered reasoning," since he is not aware that the Knglish Churoh attempts to prove her succession through Koine at all. He repeats, what everybody knows, that them wna a Uritish Church when Auuns* tine landed in Kngland; but wisely docs not say that tho present Anglican Church can trace her orders to that, although he evidently would fain reap the benefit of having tt taken fur granted that such is the ease. He knows, or ought to know- that no responsible authority, if even doalrtlig K ever so much, wuuld give more than the very weakest probability to that precarious argument, When my critic commits himself to any position without nn alternative by which to escape, then I shall understand what I am dealing with. As it is, I must bo content with thia desultory mode of warfare, more than half convinced that I am the victim of a feint to prevent me from stating the facts omitted by him in Parker's case. 1 expect htm back there again, however, it lie does not keep bis resolution to maintain silence. Be it distinctly understood that what I did show iu my last was that in the judgment of such authorities as Chilling- worth, Pearson and others, there are so many vitiatliig flawa that it is impossible to prove the succession. These I gave ua an offset against thc dictum of Lome College. My critic proceeds to challenge two of my witnesses, N by doing this he admits that if their evidence is trustworthy they go far to spoil hts case. But I submit that nothing he brings against them would impeach their testimony in a court of justice. Because Chilliugworth changed hia religious viewa nnd Hoadly is accused of being latititdinarian, would they thereby be rendered incompetent for historical research? Suppose, further, that instead of writing over mv own signature in this discussion, I had in turn got a boy to copy nnd sign my productions in ordor to turn a cheap ridicule upon Lorno College, this would not have in the least affected the cogency of my reasoning, although thc immorality of such a courso would havu seriously compromised my character. My other four or five witnesses, against whom he can find nothing, aud to whom I might have ndded many more, he carefully passes by and theu holds up my attempt as a failure. I, like himself, appeal to your readers to judgo whether Btich ia the case or not. Of the nine authorities by which ho seeks to match Bishop Hoadly, aix, at least, are dead against his high church ideas of orders, as I ahall abundantly show whon the time coines. You will observe that thc moro modern thc authorities the more high church they become. When I merely mention that Crammer held that onU-ia- tion even waa not necessary, and that tho people may make their own priests, it will ho ecen how far modern churchmen aro in advance Homeward of the reformers. The next atep my critic takes is to in Biuuate that I mako Bishop Pearson aay what he does not say about ISiiBcbhiB, I have no doubt ho would fain adjure the good bishop to rest in peace, since his resurrection juat here would be so damaging to the theory of succession. I shall repeat what Pearson says, giving chapter and verse. He says that Eusebius had no archives to go by, and the supposition that he had catalogues of the Roman bishops is utterly vain. (Pear aoui opp. Poath, Succession! diss. 1 chap. 2.) This shows that I have not manufactured evidence, as my friend was evidently suspicions I had done, Now that I ant ou this point I may alsc give a quotation from Jlusebius himself to show what certainty that historian possessed with regard to many of his materials. In his Eccles. Hist., Book 1, chap. 1, English translation, Cambridge, he tells ub that ho had' 'to tread a solitary and untrodden way, and could nowhere find so much as tho baro steps of any man who had passed the same path beforo; excepting only some shows and tokens, divars here and thero had left, particularly declaring of the times they lived in, holding forth torches aa it were afar off." Then, speaking of Paul and Peter and tho churches founded by thom, he saya, "Now how many and what sincere followers of them havo been approved of ns sufficient to tako charge of those churches by tlicm founded, it is not easy to say, oxcept such and so many as may be collected from tho words of Paul." Perhaps my critic will now seo the force of my remark that Paul left no succession lists, ins.ead of exploding in ailly meirimeut over it. Now, let him make sport of Eusebius and Bishop Pearson, or tell us how ho is going to forge links of descent out of such materials .as these. Doubtless Eusebius made out as good lists ns he could, in possession of all thc materials of information available, and yot he tells us himself how little real certainty he had. Having bofore assumed that my entne will not dare to say that the Church of England derives her succession from the Ancient British Church, and he himself having rejected the theory of descent through Rome, there scorns to be nothing left hut to look for it through St. Augstino. Now, how ho gets to Augustine without going through Rome, it would be interesting to know. Ho will surely uot deny that the English Church was truly Romish for centuries beforo tho Reformation. 1 could give him lists from Godwin's Lives of the Euglish Bishops, showing that Episcopal ordinations wero directly or indirectly from thc Pope of Homo during those centuries. Let me givo a quotation from Johnson's Clergyman's Yade Me cum, Vol. 1, p. 34, 4 edition 171">. "It had been much bettor if the English had received Christianity from tho Britains. ....For they would have delivered thia religion to ub, without making us slaves io the Pope, whoso creature Austin was; and the British were awaro of this, and therefore opposed him, nnd adhered to their old customs of Easter, and bap thing in a maimer somewhat different from thnt of Rome, and they continued their former practices in thc year 731, when Bede finished bis history; but in a short time after the Welsh as well as the English became entirely Romanists." Now, will my critic tell me how he makes good unbroken personal succession from Augustine, without coming through Rome? It proves nothing to keep reiterating that there aro catalogues. Doubtless there are, but of such u nature that they prove utterly inconclusive iu the judgment of nuch eminent authorities as 1 gave iu my last. If my critic will simply answer the question 1 have just proposed, I shall know where he is going to make a stand. He must also be prepared to show how he traces the succession from VigiliiiB ot At'les to Plio- timis and from Photiutis to the apostles, without going through Route. Hu must know that ft has always been a matter of dispute whether Gaul recoived the Goipel from Koine, or Peter and Paul personally, or froin .lohn. It is well that he says nothing of lists from Augustine to the apostles, and that he does not say thnt nil is clear, where tSnsobhis said it was only torchlight, uml whero Bishop Pearson says there were uo lists. When this request is granted mo and disposed of, then 1 shall be prepared to show:—First: That I have not tilt)slightest interest in trying tn deprive otlf high church friends of their conceit of succession, if thoy choose to Indulge it, provided they do not prostitute it into nu instrument of bigotry, intolerance and firicstcraft. Secondly: That modern dgh church views of orders would have been utterly repudiated by Iho early reformers in the Church of ISiigloiitl, wero not held by the early Christian fathers, and especially are not tiiuglit in tlie Now Testament. Thirdly: Thai in the Now Testament not a word is suid about bishops as a superior order to presbyters, but that the ter ■ s as there used designate but one order, and tliat neither our Lord nor the apostles say ono word of liiienl succession. Fourth* ly: That iu the New Testament presbyters alone arc expressly .said to ordain, but bishops never by that name. Fifthly: That according to purest Christian antiquity, bishops and presbyters were held to be by divine right the same. Also, how a difference gradually nunc to be mnde between them until thoy wore filially corrupted into two distinct orders. Lastly I What the true and only Scriptural succession really is. C. Watson.

Major Walsh, of the North-West Mounted Polico, was interviewed lately at Winnipeg, and made some interesting statements about Riol and the Indians. Speaking of the Indian chiof "White Cap" he said: "I know him very well. He is a Teton Sioux, and a very fine man, intellectually as woll as othorwiso. Ho must be getting very old, us ho was quite aged when I first knew him. 1 have met him several times, and have always been favorably impressed with him. He is a truthful Indian, and I always believed that ho was peacenbly inclined. He is a man of a great deal of honesty, and if he lias promised Riel to stick by bim ho will do it. Any alliance ho makes he is always faithful to. This band of White Cap's are Teton Sioux, and went into that country a few years ago. There is not a man in tho band whom I do not know or-who does now know me, und if they have got any kind of arms and ammunition they are going to mako A MOST FORMIDABLE FOK. Thoy have seen a great deal of servico. In 1870 thoy wero with Crazy Horse and assisted in tho defeat of General Crook, and thoy were also with Sitting Bull at tho Custer masancro. They were also on a two years' campaign against General Miles. No; they are not a brutal lot, I believe they are the finest Indians iu the country. I look upun them as the best warriors and tbe most active prairie men in the country. I do not think that there nro mure than 250 uf them in the band. Whether they will fight the troops or not will nil depend on what the half- breeds do. It thoy have first agreed to stick by Riel they will stand firmly by hiin agninst the troops, and will fight if the half-breeds do. But you know I nm inclined to think the half- breeds will not do much fighting. I think they won't, because if thoy had intended doing so they would have liar- rassed the troops before, provided, of course, they have not an object in refraining from doing so, and it is possible that thoy have. Their object may be to get Middleton and hia force on broken ground—timber or billy land—- where, of courso, the rebels will have a big advantage, as the broken ground answers their mode of warfare. Then the chances will be all against the troops, the rebels with such an advantage being almost certain of victory, even against superior numbers. Tho history of the Indian wars at the frontier iu the United States, with thu exception only of the Custer massacre aud Geu. Miles' last fight with Sitting Bull, shows that the Indians have always been outnumbered threo tu one, and 1 remember une fight when they were outnumbered ten to uno and still secured all they wanted." CONDUCT OF THE CAMPAIGN, Major Walsh further said;—"I think thc campaign has been conducted vory slowly. iFor a campaign against a population of two or three thousand, without any reserve force or supplies behind them and without any natural or artificial advantages to put tlicm- selves in a strong position, I think its -conduct has been very slow indeed. I behove tliere were men enough in tliis country, and of tho proper class, to have attended to the rebels. General Middleton ia handicapped in every way. Ho labors under the disadvantage of uot knowing either the people or the country, Ue knows nothing of the limited resources of the people lie ia lighting, and nothing about their numbers. He is acting, and has always acted, moro liko a man going into a campaign against n population of two or throe hundred thousand instead of n fow hundred rebels. I tell you a man acting nu those plains Bhould never give a thought to his rear, but look after hia front only. Why 1 Because tliese people, if they at all wish to contend tho position with you, will move au fast that you must keep pushing ou them aud be iu a position to move as fast as thuy do. You cannut follow theae mounted men uf the prairie with waggoin. It is a hard matter to follow them with horses. I have known these Sioux I was speaking of to move further in one night than Gen. Milea, with all Ins facilities for travelling, could in three days. These rebels aud Indians Middleton is nuw fighting can move with tho same rapidity if thoy choose." - SOMETHING OK KIEt. '■Riel wintered with mo onco on the Missouri rivor, and one summer ho wub near mu at Wood Mountain. As a leader I do not know what tu think of him, I remember that during the timo I was with him at Wood Mountain ho etidoavorod to get tbo Sioux, Crees and Assinibuines to join with lhe half-breeds, and to make bim the acknowledged leader of a rebellion. He went so far in this as to get the Indians to sign an agreement written by himself, making each one's interest n common cause. I heard of Ihis and visited the Indian camps, and saw the agree incuts thai Ihe Indians had signed. At that time i had charge of the post at Wood Mountain, and exerted a good deal of in tl notice with the Indians. 1 succeeded in getting thein t > tear up the agreements mid break up tliu con* federation which Iiiul was never nfk-r* wards able to accomplish.

Said ho: "The ilispatch Bays that Riel surrendered to Major l-toulton, This major is my brother, and ho wiib captured by Riel and bad a vory narrow escape from It-uth at tbo hands of the Indians. It was during thu rebellion lod by Riel in lSOil, My brother had been up in that country a short time before with a surveying parly. Ho hud beon an officer in thu English army, and at thu urgent request of Bottlers took charge of n deputation to rii-it the rebels at Winnipeg. Ho had a very satisfactory interview with Riel, and under a guard furnished by the rebel thief left Winnipeg, to return to his home at Portage la Prairie. Thoy had only been conducted a short way from town when Riel sent a largo party after them. Thoy wero arrested and returned to camp, and Major Boulton and u Mr. Scott wero placed in irons and sentenced to be shot. Tho Roman Catholic and Episcopal bishops interested themselves for the prisoners and urged upon Riel that lhey should be reprieved. The rebel chiof was obdurate and rofused to grant a reprieve. They wero to be shot at midnight, and* half an hour before that time tho bishops luft my brother, saying that all hope was gone and he must die. They, howevor, returned to Riel and made a further solicitation in the interest of mercy, and juat livo minutes before tho hour fixed for tho execution my brother waa released, on condition that lie Bhould leave tho country and nover return. Scott wns shot. Ten years afterward, when the rebellion was over, my brother returned to the country and sottled. When Riel again took up arms, a few weoks ago, my brother organized a company of settlors, which is known as Boulton's horse, and placed his services at thc command of Geu. Middleton. If the dispatches are correct Riel has surrendered to my brother's command and is now the prisoner of the mnn he treated bo villainously sixteen years ago.

St. Paul, May 23.—A Battleford dis- patch of May 21st says: At BUnact tonight Father Cochen and twenty-five other persons, bearing white flags, arrived from Poundmaker s camp with a letter asking upon what terms surrender wou'd be accepted. He wants a reply in two days. He also sent messengers with similar letters tp Gen. Middleton. This action was caused by the arrival of four half-breeds who reported the capture of Riel. The news created consternation iu the Indian camp. The braves arc hiding their rilles and removing their war paint. A council was held, the result of whicli was a decision to send in the priest nnd the prisoners. It seems Poundmaker was on the way to join Riel and was met by a half-breed acout. Thc letter was written nt Pound maker's dictation by (Tellerson, sc'ioohnastcr on the reserve. Thc prisoners sent iu with Father Cochen include the twenty teamsters captured in F,.iglo hills, Fontaine, the captured scouts Broinucr aiid Sayers, of llrcsuylors settlement, and two women. It is mnde apparent that 21 women uud children from Bresaylors settlement aro held as hostages. The Indian camp possesses over 1500 souls, 300 arc mounted men and 700 in all capable of bearing arms.

Old man Bren- ton can't bo found. Dod, who followed up the Indians believes he has been killed five miles further on a German ranch. Owner wns found dead and mutilated. At Montgomery and Welch's the Indians destroyed everything, as it was dark. Dod did not look for bodies, and hastened ou to roach Alma, on trail to which tliere wero a number of dead horses. Tho Indians crossed San Francisco 5 miles north ot Alma Friday, and settlers not being notified of the outbreak many of them have been killed.

High Class orpns. Froni the Toronto Globe. Perhaps the most artistic building on the exhibition ground is the pavilion of tho Dominion Organ and Piano Company of Bowmanville. It is moreover one of tho most interesting to lovers of good music as being the location of a magnificent collection of instruments. Tbe erection of this building, which cost about $1,000, became necessary to meot tho requirements of the company, which had been cramped for room in the Main Building, wdierc it is impossible to judge the merits of high-class instruments. The enterprise displayed by the Company in providing suitable quarters on the grounds for their business has been rewarded. Tlio large number of visitors who call, inspect, and purchase proves beyond question that the public approve the provision made for their convenience and comfort. Here a crowd may be seen listening to teat performances on first-class instruments made by lcadiug city and country musicians. Right well do the Company deserve the success which they have achieved, Thc present prosperous concern had, like all great institutions, its day of small things. It had ita origin in Bowmanville nbout fifteen years ago, the stock being at that time largely held by parties unacquainted with the business. About ten years go John Wesley, the present secretary and treasurer; George Piggott, the manager of the manufacturing department; and W, S. Russell, superintendent of tho tuning department, bought out the shareholders and assumed control. Since that date the business has been booming. A further stimulus was given to the concern by the admission of a Detroit millionaire as a partner. Piano- making was added to the organ-manu factoring, and the establishment was increased, until it now occupies a leading fosition among Canadian undertakings, t turns out ahout 200 organs and 50 Eiauos por month. These are produced y 250 iiands, who receive in wages about $15,000 per month. The whole civilized world is the firm's market, and they bave branches in London and Manchester, England; Hamburg, Germany; Adelaide and Sydney, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; and St. Petersburg, Russia. The instruments on exhibition in the pavilion are fair examples of the Company's workmanship. An iqitight piano of burr walnut is a splendid instrument. Of square piauos there are two kinds, a square oud a square grand. The former is intended for standing against the side waH of a room, and is convenient for comparatively small apartments. The Bquare grand is finished on all sides, presents a handsome appearance, ana is suited for occupying a prominent position in drawing or music room. These two instruments are of rosewood, with a superfine polish, secured by hand rubbing with oil for hours. The touch is quick and easy, thc tone brilliant aud powerful. In musical quality and appearance they arc equal to tho best American pianos. Thc organs made by tho Company are known almost everywhere. Iriey are manufactured in all styles, and at all prices, ranging from $50 to SI ,000. Many sample orgaiiB are shown in the pavilion. The largest organ which the Company will exhibit, a double-bank pedal, is at prosont at the Dominion Exhibition, Montreal, but is expected here at the end of tlie week. It Ib arranged to be blown by Turk's water motor, which has boon placed in position to await the arrival of the big instrument. The organs run through all grades, from the thousnnd dollar instrument down to the parlor favorite. The cases show wonderful variety. Many of these are of rare beauty and skilful workmanship. The ease which secured for the Company n prize at the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia is still much admired, and is largely manufactured. Cases for parlor organs are chaste in design and artis tic in execution. Thc musicians who tested tho organs affirmed that for sweetness of tone and elasticity of touch they are model instruments; while visitors cnu themselves judge as to thc beauty and stylo of tho cases.

Itili7t« The Soulli Wiiul. Ono night, after alio liad crept to her bed of rags, bruised and suro from nld Nan's daily boating, alio heard tlio South Wind softly blowing past tlio window, mid she whispered: "Oh! South Wind, havo pity on me! I am beaten and worked and starved! Be kiud to a poor orphan girl!'* "But I ennnot soften Old Nan's heart," answered the breeze, "nor can I bring you food." "You can take a message for mo." "To whom V "My mother in Heaven." "What ia tho message?" "Tell her that my days are full of misery, and niy nights are long with sorrow. I want to be with her in Heaven." "Sleep, child, and 1 will bear your lneaaage!" whispered tho wind; and sho forgot her wretchedness und, sleeping, dreamed ;>f green valleys and such beautiful (lowers that slie cried nut in tones of joy and awoko Old Nan. "How dare you!" growled the lui|;; and she beat the ohild again and aj-utn for her dream. The noxt night the South Wind whiBpered nt the window, and the child roae up nud asked: "Did you Iind my mothor I" " Tia a long way lo Heaven!" answered the wind. "Havo patience and Bleep again." The child slept, and in hor dreania alio aat beneath green trees and listened to auch sweet innate that Old Nan waB again awakened by lior words. "Wretch! Imjrato!" cried the ..Id hag in her fury? and she heat the child as if sho meant to kill her. On the third night the wind wna late tn coming. The child was alone in the gloomy room, ami iho fever wus on her until sho tossed and moaned, and fancied utrati<-o thiugf*. "It won't come- it won't comul" she kept calling; but by and by she heard tho rustle nf the South Wind nfnr off, nnd sho had her face to tlie window as it came up. "Did yon find my mother?" "Aye! and she bids you come!" "Nmvr "Wait a little and sleep again." And tho child slept and dreamed of a path winding through a dark valley. ShB traversed it in fear and trembling, nnd more than once she would have faltered had not tho Smith Wind whispered: "Be of brave heart—Heaven is beyond!" By and by tho darkness was dispelled, and ut-her feet slie saw lliu waters of a great river. On tho other sliore were gates of pearl and «nld, and as they opened to the strains nf sweetest music an angel issued forth and cried out to the cowering child: "Be not afraid! I am thy mother!" And aa tho South Wind spread its wings and bore the child across the silver watera her joy was so intense that she culled out: "Death! Mother! Heaven!" "Didn't I tell yo!" screamed the uid Imi!, who had just returned; aud aho knelt beside the bed of rags tn beat tho child. "Too late!" said tho Smith Wind, with ita face at tho window. Aye! it was too late. . ^VhaTNcxll'' A sailor returning frum a long cruise brought with liim a young parrot, which hu bestowed upon his halfwitted sou, and then undertook the task of their joint education. Having hia own ideas of teaching and "teaching mado easy," and sea-vnyages having been chief factors iu broadening hia views of life, he proceeded tn institute acoursu of travel which should combine pleasure with knowledge. From place tu place they went, seeing sights and shows, among which none wero more in favor than the common play-houses, ■ ir places nf cheap theatrical entertainment, found everywhere.

One of the .keenest things ever said on the bench is attributed to Judgo Walton, Whilo holding a term of the Supreme Court at Augusta, ho sentenced a man tu seven years in prison for a grave crime. The respondent's counsel asked for a mitigation nf the sentence on the ground that the prisoner's health was very poor. "Your Honor," snid he, "I am satisfied that my client cannot live out half that term, and I beg of you to change the sentence." "Well, nnder those circumstances," laid the judge, "I will change the sentence. 1 will make it for lifo, in- iteadof seven years."

Mortgages, Deeds, Leases, Agree irtents oPsale, and blank forms of all kinds, nt T. R. Poarson & Co a. j ! Uow CarllKimikes ara Oaused. It has been asked of late whether the hurricanes which followed thu Spanish earthquakes wevu uot produced by tlinse subterranean disturbances, and ull-uxplainiiig electricity has been called upon tn explain how earth-throes might hnvo caused atmospheric disturbances. 1 know uf nu way in which such consequences could have followed from u displacement uf tho earth's crust. To mo it seems far moro natural to conclude that the hurricancos and earthquakes woro alike produced (tho hurricanes chiefly, the earthquakes partially) by tho atmospheric compression which preceded the subterranean disturbances. This compression indicated a heaping of air ovor tho disturbed region; the earth's crust yielded under this increase of pressure, emu- hined with the action of other forces, and earthquakes followed; the coin- pressed air swept away to regions of less pressure, and the rarefaction following led in the usual way to the indraught which precedes n cyclonic disturbance in the air. But while Iho actiuti of atmospheric pressure in helping to excite subterranean activities must not be overlooked, the varying pressure exerted by sons and oceans is a mure potent disturbing factor. Atmospheric pressure is distributed in such a way that though tho weight of air on any given area is continually changing, there are no sharply dcflueci lines, ut any time, whicli separate regions of less pressure from regions nf gVoaier prcs-nuv. It. is otherwise wiih the sea along a shore line. Here we have the sea acting with constantly varying intensity, us its level changes, un tho seaward side of the shore line, while uu the landward side there are no sueh variations of pressure. Let us consider what this moans. Take n tolerably straight shore line 500 miles in length, ami suppose that along this shore line a region of ocean 100 "miles broad rises through a height of three feel under the combined action uf sun and moon raising a tidal wave, and favoring strung winds urging tho water shoreward. Then we have 50,- 000 square miles of sea-water, three feet deep, added as so much deadweight, tu that part of the earth's crust which underlies tho seas along that shore. Each square mile contains in round numbers 3,000,000 square yards, or 27,000,000 square feet. The additional weight .corresponds, then (as tho added layer is threo feet deep), to 50,- 000 times 31,000,000 cubio feet of water, each weighing 041-3 pounds, or to 110,000,000,000 tonB. It is clear that the addition of so enurmous a weight as this tii the submerged part uf iho earth's crust, outside the shore line, may well produce strains too great to bo resisted. It must be remembered that the vory existence of i>. precipitous sliore line (as distinguished from one wliere the land above water and tho parts submerged fnrm one great slope) indicates the,comparative weakness of (he crust along that const. It has yielded un nno sido to pressure thrusting it upward above tho sea-level, and on the other side to tho pressure of tho water forcing it duwn. It is true, tho actual line of yielding may not coincide with thu existent shoie line. Fur the action uf the sea waves yiay (and generally must) havo altered the position nf tho coast from that whioh it occupied when lirst formed. Hut it may bo taken for granted that not far froin evory precipitous shore line lies a line of weakness, wliere the crust has given way in the past, and may give way again. In this consideration undoubtedly wu find a part of the explanation uf the observed fact that almost all the great regions of subterranean activity on the earth lio near the sen-shore. .But while the changes uf ftlnins- phoric and oceanic pressure are potent factors in the pruductiun uf earth quakes, and nro probably in the great number of cased tlieir direct occasion, it is, nf course, to the subterranean regions themselves that wo must look fur tho forct-s at work iu upheaving the crust of tiie earth. The forces acting from the outside are as llio pull un the trigger: the imprisoned gases and vapors generated by internal heat aro as the powder by whose explosion the missile is ejected. Yet even in considering the earth's subterranean activities we still have to louk outside fur a part at loast uf the causes of disturbance. The air perhaps may in this respect bu neglected, but lhe water is all-important. It has been said, indeed, and pvobably with a nearer approach to truth than usual in the caso uf generalizations of the sort, "Without water there can be uo volcano," and a similar rule (uut quite an general) applies to earthquakes: few probably uccur, possibly none, savo through tho action of water in some way or other. AU active volcanoes except ono (in mid-Asia) are by tho seashore. Nearly all the great earthquakes recorded by history have taken place, and havo apparently had their centre uf disturbance, near the sun. There can be very littlo doubt, indeed, that the direct cause of every groat subterranean disturbance iB water iu the form of steam—Bteuin superheated, under great pressure, and therefore pussesiug much greator expansive power than steam at orninary temperatures,--Micluird A, Proctor, in Harper .i Magazine, for June. BOYTOJf'S JoKB ON THK "GaRNKT." —Captain Boytoli, the great Amorican swimmer, has managed to get himself advertised considerably through Iub impudence in placing n ahum torpedo undor H. M. S. "Oarnet" in the bay. He would like to appear as a horo who Ind shown great bravery, and had encountered single-handed thnt formidable war-ship, guns, oflicers and crew. But truly, lio ran no risk whatever. The "Garnet" waa in a foreign port, whero any veaael, boat, or ovon Boy- ton india-rubber-cased machine, has a perfect right to occupy the water close tn her very hull. So where was tho risk? Wero, tho sentinels on dock when they saw hiin rowing about to assume that he was such a scoundrel as would place a torpedo under any veaael lying in friendly waters, under American protection, and at once blow him to smithereens without any parley? They had first to wait until ho did something to call for interference on the part of thu ship. But we would call tho attention of tho American authorities to the.fact that Captain Boytnn has, no matter whether in frolic or not, committed a crime of which they aro bound to .take cognisance, so as to prevent him or any other person attempting such dangerous jokes in future.—A".
