Toronto, Oct. 21.—The Mail this morning, speaking of the Red River Valley railway new contract, says: The disallowance question is evidently entering on a new stage. The Northern Pacific is already at tho boundary at West Lynne, and another line is being pushed up from the American side to a point opposite Mordon. It will be impossible to keep the Manitobans from availiug themselves of the relief thus placed within their reach. (Iw-rli'lHte U. W. IIKNIIY, Port lliirnmoinl, B. O. m.

Torooto, Oct. 21.—The promoters of the Empire, the new Conservative organ, claim to have the bulk of the $200,000 capital stock subscribed, and hope to begin operations before the new year, Oreighton is now in New York negotiating for the purchase of the most improved press. The Edgar clique of tho Globe shareholders held a meeting recently and decided to start a new morning paper in opposition to the Globe. All that ia now wanted is Sir Richard Cartwright's backing. Gordon Brown will be asked to take the editorial charge. There have long been' complaints of the Cameron management, and the Globe has been found intractable from a party point of view in many ways. Hence tbe present move. •aril ate. Marie Bridie. Sault Ste. Mahib Oct. 17.— The past season has been one of unprecedented activity in railway building here. Between here and Sagen, Wis., 400 men are at work lying tracks for the Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie & Atlantic railway, the grading of which between the points mentioned has beon completed, Since Ausgust 1st 200 miles of track have been laid, or 312 altogetherjsince the season opened. Most interest here centres in the great international bridge over the Soo, which is being built under the direction of the 0. F. R. by the same engineers who constructed the great cantilever bridge over the St. Lawrence at Lachine with such unexampled rapidity. The new bridge will be one of the greatest in the world, and, better still, owing to a wise enactment of Congress, it will not bo under tho control of any one company, but will be used in common by the Canadian Pacific, the Grand Trunk, the Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie it Atlantic, and the Du- luth South Shore _ Atlantic, laterprovlaelal Coaferenre. Quebec, Oct. 21.—The inter provincial conference is in session with dosed doors. No reporters are admitted and the stenographers are sworn to secrecy, but an official copy of Meroier's speech was handed to the reporters. In it he denies that his government is hostile to Federal government, the object being the removal of difficulties existing between tlie provinces and tbe Dominion. He wished to be under stood ai declaring that Federal institutions be maintained, and asked the conference to adopt means to relieve all possibility of conflict. He expressed sincere regret that the Federal government refused to participate. Ho hoped the deliberations would result in the formation of a true Canadian spirit. In opening, Hon. Mr. Mercier made a felicitous speech, welcoming the delegates to the ancient capital, explaining that the object of the conference was to consider amendments to the act of the union made necessary by the experience of the past aud especially in consequence of tho insufficiency of the financial arrangements; declaring that the conference was actuated by no spirit of hostility to the Federal authorities; disclaiming any intention on the part of the Quebec government to dictate the programme of the conference, and closing by moving that Hon. Mr. Mowat act as president. Mr. Mowat was unanimously chosen for president, and rising amid loud applause briefly thanked the delegates for the honor conferred upon him. He referred to the -circumstances attending the framing of llie constitution hy which Ctiiiadit would lilr governed, and mentioned several points where the experience nnd friction of twenty years had shown that amendment was unces- nry. The speeches woro listened to with marked interest and some discussion followed in which the delegates heartily endorsed the principles laid down in Meroier's opening, speech, Mr. Evantural was elected honorary secretary. There is unfiling equal to Mother (leaves' Worm Exterminator lor destroying worms. No artiele of its kind lias uh'eu such satisfaction. BY TELEGRAPH.

There are four inches of snow on the ground, and it is 15 degrees below zero. THANESOIVIEO DAY. Washington, Oct. 25.—The president to-day issued a proclamation appointing Thursday, November 24th, aa a day of national thanksgiving and prayer. DEATH OF A CONSPIRATOR. London, Oct. 25.—A man died suddenly to-day in South London, and the subsequent search of his apartments disclosed the fact that deceased was an American, and that he was a member of a dynamite conspiracy. The police havo been unable tu arrest any conspirators as no overt act has been committed by them. The inquest will bo hold to-morrow, when full disclosures will be mako. The authorities at Scotland yuril had almost completed the evidence against the mnn necessary to enable them to arrest him, when he suddenly died. The circumstances of his death were so suspicious that the detectives ordered the coroner to hold nn inquest, whioh promises sensational revelations. It has transpired that the practice of St. Stephens at Westminster (the house of commons), which wns abandoned some time ago, was recently resumed by the police and still continues. MEETINGS FORBIDDEN. Cork, Oct. 25.—Tho Queenstown magistrate has forbidden tho holding of any meeting by,tho poople at Mid- dletown during the time that the appeal of O'Brien from the sentence imposed ou him at Mitchelstown. The Cork polico have taken possession of the Mitchelstown court house to prevent a meoting of the citizens. The Mayor haa convened a meoting to protest against the Recorder of Cork trying Mr. O'Brien. John Dillon is expected to arrive to-day. ON THE STUMP AOAIN. London, Oct. 25.—Gladstone arrived at the seat of the Marquis of Iti- pon, Studloy Royal, York County today. He made speeches at several stopping places en mute, including Leeds, at which place he was greeted by iniuinienso crowds. In response to the demands of the people for a speech, Gladstone said that events were occurring each week showing conclusively that the polioy of the govornment in Ireland was going from bad to worso. The tido wns flowing in powerful currents, und would quicken, he ventured to hopo, thus relieving him of the anxiety he had formerly felt respecting tho length of the Homo Rule struggle THIS -wKMXfi'S DESPATCHES THE NICARAGUA CANAL. New York, Oot, 26.—A. G.

After completion, wo calculate that one-half of the revenue of the canal will come from California, Oregon and Britisli Columbia pro- due's " VIVE lrofl.ANGEIl. Paris, Oct. 2(1. — A Republican meeting was held at Tours last night. An angry discussion took plaoe between M. Rochefort and M. Wilson, and the climax of indignation was reached un M. Wilson refusing to answer the charge of using President Grevy's franking mark. His efforts to clear himself proved ineffective and the meeting closed at midnight in great disorder, the crowd shouting " resign, rccigu," nnd "vive Boulanger." UIIAMBERLAIN FOR AMERICA. London, Oct. 20.—The foreign offloe has issued a circular announcing that Oliiiinbcrlaiu will depart for Washington early in November and will be accompanied by Mr. Bergne, superintendent nf the treaty department, and .Mr. Maycock, another attache of the foreign office. THE FISHERIES COMMISSION. Washington, Oct. 26.--The meetings of tho joint fisheries commission will be held at the stale department in this city. The United Statu fisheries commission will probably be called up by the international body as it has a great deal of data relative to Canadian fisheries. Since 1880 it hat been collecting data for just such a' contingency as this and it is now prepared to give the fullest possible information on the subject. When tht former fisheries treaty was made, daring President Monroe's time, this government lost about $5,000,000 by not having just such information as is now being prepared for the commission. Tho growing interest in the general work of the commission has just been instanced by the receipt of a proposi tion from Ihe town of Neosha, ab., signed by Mayor Bell ind»'/»«""*P' deed 17 *4- ti-***8&ti{*m!tU; nuier supply for the establishment of a hreeding and distributingDah ttation.

C 1 Wftff'irrt ! | ; ,|1-' '"' Sail, gJtttiBh Columbian WcdnraUj Kvealag, Oct. SO, Oar fir Lands. It is commonly supposed that the fir lands, the soil of which is principally sand unci gravel, is practically useless for agricultural purposes. In addition to the supposed poverty of the soil, these lands are difficult to clear, the limber boing so very large, and the roots of the stumps being so widespread, that it sometimes costs $250 to $300 to clear an acre and prepare it for crop. For these reasons very little effort has ever been made to utilize the fir lands. It is possible, however, by modern applioances to clear the timber oft* muoh of this land at a muoh less figure than the ono we havo named, and it has been assorted by persons who speak from actual experience that tho fir lands, when brought under cultivation, arc capable of produoing excellent crops. A gentleman residing near Port Blakely, in Washington Territory, writes that he has tried tho experi- "">nt and finds that these rejected lands wm. b-w abundant crops of vegetables, fruit, grass ami in.,,. rr„ has raised on the lir lands potatoes weighing 3i pounds each, carrots 20 inches long and 5 inohes iu diameter, ond nil the ordinary varieties of Iruits both small and great. It is claimed that this is not an isolated instance with a piece of ground speoially favored, for there are other fir farms quite as successful us his. The climate and conditions about Port Blakely are very similar to those prevailing in this part of British Columbia, and it may be worth while to consider whether it will not pay to put some of our fir lands under cultivation. There nre thousands of acres of these lands whioh have been stripped of tlieir valuable timber, and are now barren and waste. It may lie possible to make them a valuable possession and a means of wealth to those who own them and in this way vastly increase the resources of the country. The site on which the city of Westminster now stands was onco a dense forest where giant lira and cedars flourished. It was nothing uncommon to meet here a stump of cedar ar fir from 25 to 35 feet iu circumference. The soil generally contains a large proportion of sand nnd gravel, and is in all respects much the same as the general soil of high fir lands, But no one can doubt that this land is capable of growing both fruit and vegetables to great perfection, because the proof is everywhere to be seen. What has been done on the city site can be done elsewhere; and although the work of olearing tbe fir lands may be in some cases expensive, the time may come when these lands will be largely utilized for agricultural purposes, Arrsid ol Onr Coal! The San Francisco Bulletin soys: "Some novel questions have been raised and considerable trouble given customs officials by the arrival of the ship Sarah Ridgeway from British Columbia with a cargo of anthracite coal. A new mine of this coal, which is admitted into this country free of duty, was recently discovered in British Columbia, and a curgo shipped to this oity, where it is in great demand for certain purposes and brings a much higher price than the ordinary bituminous coal. As the importation to any considerable degree will affect the local dealers in tho bituminous article, they are endeavoring to ?revent the free entry of the cargo, t is probable that an analysis of the coal will be demanded, nnd other steps taken to discourage its shipment to this city." We suppose tlio object of an analysis is to show, if possible, that the coal being sent from Banff is not a truo anthracite, and is not, therefore, entitled to free entry. This is one of tho beauties of the protective principle. The Banff mines, in consequence of thoir proximity lo the Pacific, are in a position to supply this whole coast with anthracite coal at a lower figure than it can lie obtained from any other source. But certain merchants and shippers in San Francisco perceive that the admission of thia coal is going to interfere to some extent with their interests and arrangements. They proceed, therefore, to search for some pretext upon which they shall be able to prevent this coal from entering into competition with them, or, at least, to tax it so that peoplo will bo forced to pay more for it than it is naturally worth. Carrying out the principle of protection to its legitimate limit it would be quite proper for tht government of British Columbia to pass a regulation placing an embargo upon tho entry of anthracite coal into this province, because it come* into competition with our own native coals. There is no ques tion but the introduction ot tho Banff coal, if it be laid down at a moderate price, will perceptibly interfere with tho consumption of coal from Vancouver Island; and as Vancouver Island is a part of Britith Columbia and Banff is not, the principle of protection would suggest that some burner be erected against thii competition, Of course tho effect of these barriers is to increaso the prioe of ooal to tho consumer. This is the object sought to bo attained by tho San Francisco dealers. The import dues aro as .much a tax upon consumers as if a direct tax for the benolit of opposition dealers were imposed. The only iliflrrrenco is that in ono case the tux is sugar- coated nnd passes unobserved under tho guise of increased cost. But it is all tho same a tax.

FRENCH FOUNDLINGS, Little IVnlts ll_.«l Dp by tbo State to Be- ' como Qootl Citizens. The story of Roussoau and bis children litis caused the French system of dealing with ili'fcrtr-'il infants to be regarded by a jrreat tunny I'lrglisliuien as official couui- winee at private immorality. It is not ivirybo ly who has read "Jeane Jacques' l ruiilessiu'ii," tut most people who have u fnir kuowU'ilrie of things in general hnve heard thnt to escape the responsibility of 1 ringing up his children ho had them tiikuii to tliu foundling hospital very soon nit 'i.tlieir birth. Many things hnve chung.'rl in I'rriii -rr since HousaeaiTs lirue. hut tl.iS|iiiHtitiition remains vory in rich us it wns iiien. 'J lie method he rnloptorl of hi inr' his children without irourring any risk iii consequence is still prriiiittird hy law nnd taken advantage of. Much ns it may have been abused, it originated in Christian charity. In tlie middle ng. » there wns a stone at Notre Iniiie n;io.i which di'scrtcrl infants were laid with 111 r knowledge that they would Ire tiiktn euro of, and the practice of leaving them . at thi; noons ok uitunciins, which wns then common, has been follower! in i':iiclijnter;tiiues. D'Alembertr. for inst' u . \iiis found upon the steps ot Jeaii-lri-Koriri. In 1113.1 St. Vincent of Paul founded n hospital for these -waifs of humanity, nn-.t this was the origin of the institution known as ''I.es Enfants Trouves." Now it is termed 'rXes l'n'rrnts Assiiters." In Hoiisseau's time, and as late as 1837, children were left here and no questions woro nsked. Upon a bell being rung a revolving cylindrical box opened, and the infant being placed within, it was turned around with the box and was lost to view. Nothing could be more siinplo, nothing less calculated to cause embarrassment or shame lo tbo visitor, 'lire sriino 'apparatus is still in use, but the person who lcnvestheinlant can no longer lenve without being seen. Any woman who takes a child there Is assumed to be the mother, and she is questioned with tho hup r that she will slate hcr.rrpiif, hut she is not obliged to do so. 'Pile is, however, compelled to litrtcn to a little s rinon on the heartless- iictrs of niininlp)l!*h'* her oll'springs to Btrnhgi'H uud voluntarily losing all trace oi its i -i-urity; in fact, nn dibit is made to turn her from ber. purpose and to I ring her to n qensc of ber maternal duties. Soiui'tiiiu 8 she is persuaded to keep thii rln 11, and if she pleads poverty it Hirnill jnb.itlily allowance iB granted her. it iiifiy hi* iv-1 to draw attention here to the net (hat as regnrds illegitimate off- .-prrii,.' in I'run -" the law only recognizes ihe icBjronsiliil ty of one parent—namely, tre- mother. Hipposing the child to havs .ecu let ut the institution, it is entered upon tlu register merely us a number, and henceforth thk iniuxroii op public assistanci is its giianlinn. The children, unless their nti'rto is such ns to heed medical truatnn nt, are only kept in Paris a few days. They are quickly placed in the families ol pi-nannls, who undertake to perforin lire duties of parents toward them in leiiirn lor remuneration, which is usnrlty mini fifteen francs to twenty Ir.n s n ii.oiith. There are inspectors who visit the luster parents periodically nn I report upon the condition of theft i'liurgCB, I iiliBs there are special reasons for ri tu ivihg them the children, even when the jreriud of infancy is post, remain iu tlie panic hands. They are sent to the communal schools until the ago of ill and then the administrator puts them in the wig of earning their livelihood, but does not relinquish its authority over tin-in. In the large iintoiiiy ol eases the b<rys are kept to agricultural pursuits, und as shepherds or farm laborers be- einne irlentitiednii luting manner with the peasantry. As t general rule it ia considered advantageous for them to enter the wrirtce bl tbo foster father, because from long association he ia supposed to hold them in some affection. In addition to board and lodging they receive wages, the bulk ol which, under the direction of an inspector, is deposited In tho "cuisse d'eparene" and which corresponds to tlio savings bank in England. Thus It frequently happens that when these boys enter the army as conscripts at the age 61 '.'I, tllcy own a little fortune of :',000 franca ("4001, and are consequently richer than the majority of young men uf tlieir own class who were not abandoned in their infancy.—-M Mall Qasette.

How quiet the house is at midnight. The people who talk and laugh and sing in it are asleep, and the people who fell asleep in it long ago came back into it. Every houso hns these two cltrses of tenants. Do we love best thoso with whom we can talk and laugh and sing, or tho dear silent ones who come bo noiselessly to our sides and whisper to us in faint, sweet, far-away whispora that havo no sound, so that wo only hear tlieir vory stillness ? I am not tired, but my pen is weary. It falls from my lingers and I raise my head. I start to leave the table and my eyes fall upon a littlo book lying on' tho floor. It is a little "First Beador." Ho left it there this afternoon. I remember just bow I was impatient because ho could not read the simple little lesson, such an easy lesson, nnd I told him it was a waste o! ray time to toach him nn 1 pushed him aw^y from me. I remember now. I see the flush como into the little tired face, the brave, cheerful look in his eyes, his mother's bravo, patient chcerlncss, struggling with his disappointment and pun. I seo him lie down on the lloor nnd tho little face bout over Ihe troublesome lesson, and baby might read it. Then, after a little struggle alono, it has to bo given up, and the bullied little soldier, with one more appealing look toward me for reinforcements, sighs and goes nway from the lesson he cannot read to tho play that comforts him. And there lies the little book just as he left it. Ah, me, I could kneel down and kiss it now, la though it were alive and loving. Why, what was my time worth to me to-day? What was there in the book I v i terl to read one-half so precious to rue .is one cooing word from tne prattling li|rs that quivered when I turned away. 1 niilerl the book I read. I will never look ut it again. Were it the last book in the world, I think I would burn it. All its gracious words are lies. I say to you, though all men praise, the book, and though an hour ago I thought it excellent, 1 say to you there is poison in its hateful pages. Why, what can I learn from books that baby lips cannot tench mc ? Do you know I want to go to the door of bis room nnd listen; the house is so still; maybe ho Is not brent hi rig. Why, if between my book and my boy I choose my book, wby should not Owl leave me with my books? My hateful books. But I was not harsh. I was only a little Impatient. Because, you see, his lesson was so easy, so simple. Ah, me, tl 're were two of us trying to read this afternoon. There were two easy, simple 1 -ons. Mino was such a very simple, easy, pleasant, loving one to learn. Just a line, just a little throb of patienco of gentleness, of love, that would have made my own heart glow and laugh nnd sing. Tlie letters were so large nnrl plain, the words so easy and tho sentences so short. An I I? Oh, pity me, I missed every word, I did not read one line aright. See, here is my copy now; all blurred and blistered with tears and liearta h •, all marred and misspelled and blotted. I am ashamed to show it to tho Mast r. And yet I know He will be patient tilth mc; 1 know how loving ana gentle Ho has been all these years teaching me these simple lessons I failed upon to-d.iv. But when my littlo pupil stumbled on a single word—is .my time, then, bo much moro precious than the Master's that I cannot teach the Uttle lesson more than once ? Ah, friend, we do not waste time when we plait scourges for oursolves. Th sj hurrying days, these busy, anxlo is, shrewd, ambitious times of ours nre vv.ist- ed when they tako our henris nway (rom patient gentleness, and give us fame for lovo and gold for kisses. Sonio dny, then, when our hungry souls will seek . for bread our selfish god will givo us n siorie. Life is not a deep, profound, per- plexlug problem. It is n simple, easy lesson, such as any child miry re.nl. Yoii cannot find its solution in the ponderous tomes of the old fnthei's, tire philosophers, the investigators, the theorists. It is not on our book shelves. But in the warmest corner of the most unlett r rd heart it -glows in letters that the blindest mrry rend; a sweet, plnin, simple, easy, loving lesson. Aud when yon have learned it, brother of mine, the world will be better and happier. It. J. Burdctte. i > « - It Vou An Obliged to Sleep on the Cms.

Westminster was represented by Senator Mclnness and Mr. J. C. Brown, who, we are sorry to say, suffered a very severe defeat. Tlie following games were played: Hiruchberg (Vancouver) vs. Brown (Westminster), two games, both of whioh were won by Mr. Hirschberg. Keith (V.) vs. Brown (W.), two games, both of which were won by Mr. Keith. Keith (V.) vs. Mclnnes (W.) throe games, two of which wore won by Mr. Keith and one drawn. Hotter (V.) vs. Mclnnes (W.), two games, each winning one. The total for Vnncouver being seven games won, Westminster one game won, nnd ono game drawn. After tlie games were over the visitors wero treated to a really superb supper at tho Gold House. Tho healths of both guests and entertainers -were drunk with much enthusiasm and good feeling, and soveral neat lit- speecnes wore mado during the course of tho evening. Welcome Home. Mr. Donald Chisholm, M. P., returned from his visit to tho east this afternoon and was met at tho station and welcomed back by many of hiB old- time friends. Iti conversation with our reporter Mr. Chisholm said he had enjoyed his trip very much; lie had visited his old homo in Nova Scotia and had also spent some time in Ottawa. His principal business in Ottawa was in the interests of the Southern Railway, and he feels conn- dent tlio govornment will not oppose its construction. On boing asked ubout the statement said to have been made to a reporter of the Ottawa Free Press, Mr. Clmhotm said he would refrain from making a public statement uf what he knew on the subject, as Iio understood the Board of Trade wished to confer with Kim about it, "Are you glad to got home agaiti'j" askod our reporter. "Yes, I am," said Mr. Chisholm, "I nm very glad indeed; tho east 1b very nice, but to my mind there is no province in tho Dominion so fair as British Columbia. I have lived here for so many years and have bo many congenial friends tbat Westminster is now the only place that I could make my home in," Mr. Chisholm is looking much better than when he went away, and we are pleased to see the trip has been a benefit to him. A VfMcry Uriivr. On Monday evening a man named Morris came up from Annaccs Island aud stuted that a skill' containing a coat, a package of loiters and paperB nnd provisions hsd drifted ashore near the spot whero tho mattrHsscs are being filled with brush. Tho skiff was brought over to thu city and soveral persons recognized it aa the property of Leopold Kusanich, better known as ilBlack Georgo," of thcBou Accord can* nery. From all that can bo learned it seomi that Kusanich came down from the cannery on Monday for provisions, and while iii town he had several drinks, but did nut get drunk. About the middle of the afternoon he started homewards, and it was remarked by several that the little skiff seemed a cranky affair. After getting out a short distance from the landing he lost an oar aud the boat was carried down stream by the curr .it. Several por- sons are reported to have seen him trying with tho aid of the remaining oar to secure thu lost one, and it is sup- nosed he lost his balance and fell overboard white making thtse attempts. As nothing haa boon heard of Kubmi* ich since Monday afternoon it is now beyond doubt that he ho was drowned. The unfortunate man was well known round town, he having been a waiter iu the Holbt'ouk House for some time and has been employed m watchman at tho Bon Accord cannery during tho past sesson. Everyone speuks very favorably of hia ueneral character and his untimely death seems to be the subject of genera) regret. t TiMlnys Weather Deport. Hicomous.—Cloudy and cool.

It says: "Even unholy Monaco ia not outside the pale of salvation, as the pope has just created a bishopric there. The occupant nf tho new see i3 Mgr. Tiieuret, who is tho titular bishop of Therinppoljs. A cathedral is to bo erected, and tho PrincoBs Radaivill, nee Blanc, and Prinoe Roland Bonaparte are prepared to subscribe handsomely to the fund for building it. So far the churoh has had fow other duties to discharge at Monaco than christening children and burying gamblers who have committed suicide," Brick nnllilhiRH. The continued line weather which we havo been favored with during the past month has proved a great blessing to contractors, who, had tho weathor beon wet and unfavorable for building purposes, might not have been able to complete tlieir contracts this fall. As it is, the outside work on all the larger buildings is nearly completed, and even if the rainy season sets in now the work will not be retarded to any extent. Scoullar & Armstrong's block and Webster's 3 story building on Front street are tho most advanced; these buildings aro roofed and tho plasterers and carpenters are hard at' work on tho insido finishings. The Bank of B. C building is also undor cover and the Masonic & Oddfellows' building will soon bo in the same state; the top cornice work for tho latter, which iB extremely handsome, will be put on iu n few days. Duncan's fine hotel is almost ready fur occupation; tho outside has been painted in a very attractivo stylo and the inside finishings nre very neat hnd handsome. Both buildings being built for the Douglas estuto ure ready for the carpenters und plasterers, aud as they aro only one story buildings tho remaining work will not occupy much time, Harvey's building on Front street has not beon long commenced, but the foundation is laid and part of the walls are up. Altogether most satisfactory progress has been mado on these buildings, and tho contractors are to be complimented on tho rapid progress they have made, notwithstanding tho scarcity of labor.
