The conflagration in tho Seventh avenue tenement house, New York, has clearly demonstrated the need of it different sort'of fire escape from tho outside iron ladders in general use. In this case they become red hot, and those who did manage to reach tlio ground by them wero frightfully burned on hands and feet. Steps should bo taken at once toward the adoption of a fire escape system that shall be both safe and practicable,—Ex. Able sermons wero preached last Sunday in tho largo cities by some of the most widely-known clergymen in the country on such subjects as "The Perils of Immigration," "Rum's Everlasting Curse," "The Dolan Double Tragedy," "From Turkey to Japan," "The Gambler's Trap," "The Male Gossip," "Oriental Dospotism," "Unconvicted Felons," "Influence of Heredity on Religious Training," and "What I saw in Mexico." Thero may have boen a few sermons on Biblical topics, but they did not find their way into the Monday morning papers.—Chicago Tribune. At last I John __,.

An old negro, Tobias Jackson, has been claiming for some time to be the prophet Daniel, and convinced thcee young negroes Saturday last that they wero representatives of Shadrach, Meshaeh and Abecincgo, the threo children of Israel who entered Nebuchadnezzar's furnace of old, and persuaded them to enter tho Schloss furnace here, used for melting iron. Before a large number of negroes they rushed into tho whito heat of the furnace, and when thoy failed to reappear Jackson announcod that ho saw them riso into tho skies. He said they would visit tho earth next Sunday, and the negroes propose to assemble nt the churoh and continue in prayer until their desoont. Probably the only soorct process which has beon kopt inviolate, and for ages openly' defied tho world of science, remarks nn exclmngo, is the iron trade of Russia. Tho secret of mak- in, llussiau sheet iron is owned by the government, and is such 11 paying monopoly that it is currently suppos- ed to defray tho entire expenses of tho government. The works constitute un entire oity, isolated and fortified against the rest of tho world. When a workman enters tho sorvico ho bids n lust farewell to his family and friends, und is practically lost to tlio balance of the world. He is novor heard of afterwards, and whether ho lives or dies all traco of him is forever lost. Thero have beon several desperate attempts made to steal or betray the secret, but in overy instance it has resulted in tho death of the would-be-traitor. In ono caso a latter attached to a kite, which was allowed to escape, was picked up by some peasants, and, despito their protestations that they oould not read, they wero at once put to death by the guards to whom thoy delivered the letter, and it was afterwards decreed that tho guards themselves should pass the remainder of their days within the works. Tho wonderful properties of this iron uro so well known that it is unnecessary to enlarge upon thom. Children Cryfor Pltcher'sCastorla OA11IKEX CHASOK 1-ltOBAIILE. ToKOSTO.

There cun be no doubt that bnt for Costigan the ministership of trade and commerce would be brought into being, but that would involve a reduction in tbo.rank of tho head of the inland revenue department, which Costigan would not brook.

TORY AND PARNELLITE AORER. London, Aug. 29.—Mr. Balfour's promise to bring in a bill for the endowment of tho Irish Oatholio university, coupled with Mr. Parnell's im* modlate acceptance of the proposal, creates almost a panio amongst the liberal leaders, who boo that thin new departure of the tory government means the disruption of their parly. It is certain that Mr. Parnell has reached some sort of an understanding with Lord Salisbury's government and it is even stated that the Parnellites will support the tory premier at the next election in return for the concessions, which will practically amount to home rule and a land law whioh will quite effectually throw the landlords in Ireland overboard. This change of front on the part of Lord Salisbury is certain to lose hira the Bupport of the Ulster members, but he will probably carry with him all but a very few of the conservative members and unionists, while the addition to Iub forces of tlio solid Parnellite contingent and of such liberals as care more for home rulo than for the means of attaining it, will undoubtedly increase his voting strength vory materially, notwithstanding the defection of the Protestant Irishmen and a few anti-Catholic tories. AU uf the details of the agreement entered into between Mr. Parnell and those whom he has of late so bitterly opposed, nre not aB yet understood, and as a result there is no end of speculation. The liberal leaders held a meeting to-day, at which Sir William VernonHar- court made a speech congratulating tho liberal party upon having successfully proselyted the tory government. Few of his associates, however, shared Sir William's cheerfulness, and their joy at finding their own principles now supported by the tories is not a littlo tempered by the certainty that this support will keep the tories in power indefinitely and themselves out.

Am Excited Convert. A pecular incident occurred at the Revere house yesterday morning. Rev. Mr. Dowie occupies the front room on the ground floor, and just about 7 a.m. a mau rushed through the git to, and not taking the trouble to open the window jumped clean through it, breaking glass and sash. The reverend gentleman had not yet risen, and was considerable startled. His eccentric visitor was on a harmless mission, however,' and begged the clergyman to pray for him, as he wanted salvation. This done the visitor withdrew, and later on the clergyman sought a glazier for the purpose of having tho damage to the window repaired.

Capt, Carroll, in command of the steamship Corona, arrived at the ouftr wharf from Alaska at 6 o'clock last evening, from Sitka, Alaska.

Very little wob being said in regard to sealing mattera iu Alaeka, and it was not known whether or not any British schooners had been t'T.ken to Ounalaaka, when me Corona sailed.

British Columbia has certainly not lagged behind the maroh of progress since it entered the Dominion. Its fiopulation is still small, something ike 100,000, but it is a population of extraordinai/ vigor, enterprise and public spirit. Only the adventurous and courageous, and generally only thoso gifted with a good constitution, were likely to seek that distant province in early years of its administration. It is still, indeed, in tho pioneer stage, but the proportion of sue* cessful and wealthy persons will pro* bably in the coming census be shown to be larger than that of many of lhe older provinces. The coasting trade a dozen years ago was represented by a tonnogo'of 185,000, whioh must be multiplied by twelve to civo the tonnage of tho present. Its situation offers it a large share of tho control of the Paoific in the near futuro, whilo tho railway at its back makes it an entrepot between the new world and tho old. British Columbia is especially in* tereated in this result of the Hon. Mr. Abbott's mission to Australia, whioh, it is to bo hoped, will prove of advantago both to that province and to tho Dominion as a whole.—Mont real Gazette. ^___ LATE CANADIAN NEWS. At Resina Hon.

Iu tho queen's speech, read iu tbe houae of lords, her majesty said, "My lords; it is with much satisfaction I release you from tho labor*; of this protracted session.

No man to bo employed less than four hours. A great meeting of tho strikers will be hold in Hyde Park on Sundny. The dock companies aro still obdurate with regard to the single point in dispute, ihe increaso of wages as demanded by the men, and indications are anything but favorable for an immediate settlement of the strike. TIIE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.

Thoy assert that thoy wero givon the assurance by tho government that there wac no intention to function the Cntholio proposal.*-, nnd now thoy find themselves grossly deceived. Thoy tako no pains to concenl their rage and disgust, and are loud in their denunciation of tho ministry. They will not, they say, continuo to give thoir support to a "papist government.'' PROTESTANTS TROTES't', Belfast, Aug. 29.—A crowdod mooting oF protest ants wns held here to-night to protest againBt Mr. Balfour's latest proposal to oudow a Catholic University iu Irelnnd. Tho grand mnstor of tho Orangemen, Kane, was among the speakers and ho denounced tho government in unmeasured torms for iiscownrdly nmrendor. His language wns most bill r in con* dimming the schemo, and he declared that Mr. Balfour's proposals would moot with determined opposition on the part of nil Irish protostants, A Sensible Opinion. The repeated seizures of British scaling Bchooncrs in Behring Sea must soon stir up tho British authorities to tho point of contesting the American claim to exclusive jurisdiction over this gtent fishing ground. It is questionable, certainly, if tho American claim can bo maintained in au inter* national court. It has in faot poor basis in rationality. Tho sea ia opon north nnd south, and is not even ap* proximately inclosed by United Sutcs territory; but whilo Rueain held Alaska she claimed and rulod thia water, and tho American theory is that we acquired tho soa with tho Alaskan purchase. Wo hnvo certainly all tho rights to it that Russia ever had, but it is greatly to be doubted if Russia's claim was good, and if it could have stood beforo a contest by any other nation. This is no;, a question to go to war over, and tho current talk about possible troublo between Great Britain and the United States in coniequonce of it iB the sheerest nonsense. AVhen it limilly cornea to a contest, it will in all likolihood bn settled by arbitration, after the manner of tho Sun Juan settlement.-—Seattle Post Intelligeneer.

Among the "Notes and Comments" in auothor column will bo found an item referring to tho necessity for a different sort of fire-oscape than tho kind commonly in uso, as thoso having iron round.*, it had been demonstrated by a recent disastrous firo in New York city, became so heated as to horribly bunt the liands nnd feet of the persons who escaped by means of them. But - even such fire-escapes aro better than nono, which leads us to remark that none of our hotels that we are aware of nre supplied witli any apology for fire-escapes. This state of things should not be suffered. If fire-escapes of some sort nre not provided by hotel-keepers, the matter is ono which the city authorities should take into their hands and enforce in some measure for the public safety and in the interests of human life and limb. Many of our readers •will remember tho Arlington hotel fire in this city, in January of 1887, where three lives were sacrificed to the flames. Westminster has had a good mnny destructive hotel fires in the last four or live years, but, happily, only tho one mentioned resulted in loss of life as well as property. But uo one can tell bow soon serious loss of life might occur by fire in one or other of our numerous and increasing hotels, somo of which at least, by their construction and thb materials used, would prove vori- table death traps. The winter season, is coming on, when, by reason of fires being kept up night and day, the chances for accidents are greater. We would urge upon the authorities not only to place and maintain the fire department of tho city upon the most efficient possiblo footing, but to enforce some system of fire-escapes in connection with hotels. Tho reported alliance betweon tho British Tory government nnd Parnell, brought about by Balfour's profuse promises, is creditable to neither party to the unnatural compact. Any ono with half an eye will havo noticed that tho Salisbury governing it have been simply manoeuvring luti-ly to hold their seats. Their undignified squirming and shifting in tht* tithes bill matter a week or two ago showed this plainly, and this last double somersault is nothing more nor Ic-ss than a dernier rcssort—n political trick involving political npostney—all for the sake of bracing their relaxing grasp of tho reins of government. We nro astonishud that Purnoll should display such n fickle and punic spirit in thus going over to tho enemy when their discomfiture was so near at hand, in consideration of .the promises which tbe latter mado in the face of imminent defeat, if tho government have apparently gained over the Parnellite-! by their unblushing Hop and venal promises, they have alien- ntcd other very important support by their heartless and hypocritical performances, The extent of the opposition whicli will bo aroused against the government, both in Ulster, Scotland and England, if thoy attempt to carry out the Irish university endowment part of the Parnfili purchase scheme, has not fairly begun to be made manifested, and it would teach tho recanting and time-serving Tories a wholesome lesson if the great sonnnersault, which tho despatches say they have mado, to save their seats, should result in breaking their political necks. As parliament prorogued to-dny, there will lie no opportunity for any immediate discussion of the latest political plntsfl of tho Irish question in the houn, but no littlo fermentation will be manifested throughout tho country during would urge upon the leading men in tho various municipalities—tho30 who take a lively interest in the welfare of their respective districts —not to leave this matter of registration on the voters' lists to the individual conscience and performance, or it will surely be neglected in a very great measure, Tho majority, wo aro afraid, especially in tho country districts, where some slight obstacles may intervene, will hardly take tho trouble to ascertain the necessary steps for getting duly registered on tlie provincial and Dominion lists, or if they should ascertain the modus operandi, are unlikely, in many instances, to take the action required. On the othor hand, if the municipal councils take the matter up in the same way us did this city, thero is evory assurance that the work will be done and thoroughly dono, and every district and community will thus havo its due weight in tho councils of tho country, which, it will be conceded, is just as things should bo under rosponsiblo govern in ent. Tho importance of looking after tho voters' lists without delay is apparent. A provincial general election must take place next year, and a general election for tlie Dominion the yearaf terat the latest (it may very possibly be sprung on tlie country before tho natural dissolution of parliament). Increasingly important issues, of a local as well as general nature, will be involved in both events, and no individual or community should be content to be found self-disfranchised, when the occasion demanded an intelligent use of the ballot in the best interests of country, locality, and home. Besides, it will pay, in a sense not generally appreciated, we venture to say, for any community to have its full force represented on the voters' lists. It gives the community in question a higher status in the eyes of the "powers that be," and causes its representations, appeals and demands to bo treated with greater respect than if its voting power was insignificant. This must bo obvious. We hopo to see our friends in the district taking the hint and striking out for their rights und interests. Tho ballot-box is the power behind and above the throne in all truly civilized countries in this age and year of grace. An intelligent and con soientious use of this mighty though unpretentious engine of government makes every man a sovoreign by divine right. To neglect tho exercise of tho franchise is to trample a great birthright under foot and to seriously und stupidly curtail tho importance and influence of individuals and com in unities. Let New Westminster district keep up its well earned reputation for enterprise and general go-ahoftd-ntiveness by rising to its privileges iu this matter. VOLUME VII.-NO. 62.

"So Bho started out, but camo back in about ten minutes, saying that she found herself too tired to walk to tho hall, mid that Bho would go right to bed.

Children Cryfor Pltcher'sCastorla A recullar Excuse. At tho police court thia morning a man whoso place of residence is in the ollnssio vicinity of tho awamp was charged with using obscono and blasphemous language on tho atroets. He pleaded that ho was under the inllu- euco of liquor at tho time and that tho unpleasant locality (tho swamp) in which he lived made it absolutely necessary for him.to; take 11 drink overy morning beforo breakfast. The culprit staled that when ho took ono drink he was very liable to tike many more, and it was this weakness that brought, him before the court. Hia honor advised tho offender to remove to a moro suitable residential locality, and thus cut himself freo from the necessity of early morning drinks, which he pro* MMi:d to do at tho earliest possiblo date, and paid bis So fine ijliocrfuly into the police court treasury. A Kiirrow Escape. A fow evenings . ago the eldest daughter of Mr. John Lee, a Scott road fanner, and a young man, who was dri.'iiig her to Ladners, met with a vory narrow escape from instant death. After leaving the Scott road and as they wero descending the Boundary Bay hill, the horso, a spirited animal, shied nta most dnngorous spit, where a CO-foot embank inont is only provided, with a -jitis-le rail guard. The horse struck tho rail, breaking it, ami full ovor tho embankment, but, luckily, tho carringe caught against tho guard, and remained fast until the occupants were enabled to alight, which wat* accomplished with great difficulty. A few minutes afterwards tho guard gavo way aud tho horso and carriago ri'lled down tho embankment, the animal susiaining injuries so severe that it waa found nocossary to shoot it, Bo* yoml a nasty fright the occupants of tho carriage wore none tho worse of tho accident. The Iliistcilc Affair. What is probably tho correct reason for tho removal of tho HuBtcde from Esquimalt Harbors appears in to-days Colonist: Whon tho ship lay at tho naval yard duck, desortad by the crew (and even Chinamen rofused to work under Capt. Reiners), tho admiral des* patched 11 party of bluejackots to perform the work of discharging tho coal. Whon tho timo-limit at tho dock had long expired, tho Bhip waa allowed to remain, with part of her cargo atill in to tjavo tho eaptuin the expense of ballasting until Ids cargo of salmon arrived from tho north. Finally it bo* camo necessary to havo the ubq of thu fleck, and Captain Reiners was re* quested to romovo. This ho was very reluctant to do, but finally ho cast oif from tho dock, and took up a position iu the harbor thnt had boon reserved for 11. M, S, Acorn; inside the formation of warships, and tho directly between tho flagships and tho Canteen. On being requested to tike somo othor position, he returned word to tho admiral that "one placo iu tho harbor was just tho samo as another to him." snd he would stay whero lie waa. I'uHtly Annoyc-I. Mr. Coukaley, our worthy deputy city olerk, is at enmity with all thu world, nud wears a look on his faco as black and sombre as a Dakota cyclone cloud. And all thia simply bocauHo a poor hungiy cow, whoso milk sella for •10 cents per gallon, broke into his garden and ate up all tho vegetables ho hud reared ao tenderly, and waturod so iiidefatigably uight and morning, during the last four months, Evory Mpaio moment Mr. Cooksloy was lavor- tid with he spent in nursing the cabbages, killing tho bugs on the turnips, pruning thu tomato vines nnd Inciting tho delicate onions, hy various devices, to more luxuriant growth. He was proud of thnt garden, vory proud In* deed. And each night after tho day's work waa ovor, Mr. Cooksloy would sit 0.1 the verandah overlooking the vegetables, smoke his pipo and drunm happy dreams of tho cabbago soup, pickled tomatoes and boiled turnips that would bedeck the festal board during tho long aud chilly wintor, The poor cow haa rudely awakened lho dreamer; and he wakes un angry man. Trifles liko thusu should not cause any man to losu his temper, nnd when Mr. Cooksloy has lived a yoar or two long- or in tho royal city it ia probable ho will bo ready to patiently submit to nil invasions by oowa, as doeB overy othor patriotic ratepayer who has tho best Interests of thn oity at heart. ■ * —-—•>■**•*-• ■ --— Seo T. J. Trapp's adv.—auction salo of milch cowl. On Webster's wharf yesterday after- 110011 a number of •Indian** were congregated, presumably for tho purposo of squaring accounts, as quite an imposing heap of silvor was piled on a plank, Tho "paying clerk" was busy wrestling with tho problem of dividing tho money properly, and repeatedly counted it over to mako sure that tho basis of his calculations was correct. The rest of tho Stwnshes crowded round the plank, cargerly watching tho solution of tho problem. Finally the paymaster divided tho money into three piles, but the count mis not oven, a silver dollar boing short to complete tho Inst. A careful recount was made, but still tho dollar was short, and then tho paymaster accused somo of the company of puiloining it. Indignant protests wont up from evoryono in the orowd and the most of tho Indiana asked to be searched. Search was uot necessary, howovor, for aa one of the Si washes was earnestly protesting hia innocence tho lost dollar dropped out of his trouser log and rolled onto tho wharf. Tho thief had forgotten that one of his pockets was sadly out of repair. Two of lho Indians instantly seized the rascal, and decided to turn him ovor to tho polico. But tho follow waa not inclined to submit quietly to arrest, and quickly jerked himself freo and act off at a racing spited in the direction of the swamp, where ho Booms to havo found refuge from his enraged tiilicums. Victoria vs. Wesl in In iter. Tho sporting event of the season takes place hero to morrow afternoon, when tho Victoria and Westminster lacrosse teams moot to play for tho Alhambra cup and tho championship of tho province. Tho two straight victories won by tho capital city club from Vancouver places the visitors in to-morrow's match considerably in the lead, and gives them tho undoubted right to claim the title of champions. This being Westminster's first year in the lacrosse field, the game is entirely new to moat of our citizens, consequently the club has been at a considerable disadvantage as regards material to choose from, and several members of the team chosen to play to-morrow never hold u stick in their hand beforo this summer. But notwithstanding these disadvantages tho tunm that will cross ettoka wilh Victoria is one that is suro to givo an excellent nccount of itsolf, and if victory doos now crown the efibrt- of tho royal city men it will not bo from lack of hard work and honest endeavor. Following are tho teams and positions tho mun will occupy : VICTORIAS.

Tho match is bound to bo interesting, and is turo to attract the largest audience of tho season to tho cricket grounds. It is hoped thu audience will noli; e*> oroach on tho field duri'iglii.y'i-f- tho games, as was tho caso whon tiio match with Vancouver was played. If ropes are not stretched to keep -, back tho crowdj non-playing members of the club Bhould be stationed at short intervals to keep in order the over-en* thuaiastio youths who nro fond of dec* orating thu field, if requested, tho chief of polico would doubtless station a constable on the grounds to discourage the refractory.- Tho Westminstor lacrosse club is not wealthy, and thia fact qhpuld .bo bomo in mind when a collection ia takon up on the fiold to pay tlm expenses of tho visitors. Unnecessary Appendages. Our evoning cotemporary in the royal city assumes to know what tho World means by "unnecessary appendage" in discussing tho offlco of chiof of the provincial police An answer ia that so far aa tho mainland is concerned tho oflico is really moro ornamental than useful, for of what advantago is it to this section of the province to havo tho chief stationed at Victoria I If such au oflicer ia necessary, let one be selected for the island, and another for the mainland. This would certainly bo moro preferable and in keeping with actual requirements than tho old system of having that oflicer stationed whero his service*" would bo of littlo or no uso.—-World. Our evening cotemporary of tho terminal city is certainly Bomuwhnt hard to under* stand. In a recent issue it commended tho "i-cmi-officially announced" action of tho government in cutting oil' tho "unneccisary nppondago" of a provincial chiof of polico. Now it nil* tuit i that thu oflico may bn a noccssnry one, and is in favor of saddling two "unnecessary appendages" upon tho province, ono for tho island and another for the mainland. The logical conclusion of carrying out such a policy aa that ts In make thu province, in theory, and very soon in fact, two instead of one. If tho World juat follows its nose on that lay-out, we iihall scon have it advocating dual gnvornora, attorneys-general, provincial secretaries, superintendent- of education, inspectors of schools, and a gen- 01-nl doubling up of all the bright and shining galaxy of ovi-rworkod officials from the top row in the dress circle to the back seat in the galleries. It may bo pure eontrairineBS, but wo enn't agroe with onr esteemed cotemporary iu its last s 11 ggojtion any more than in the first, No; lot one provincial chief of police bo appointed, aud let tho right man bo put in tho position (we'vo got him in WestminBter); and if it is found that Victoria isn't the most convenient p'acc for him to reside, why let him mako his head* quarters clue where. The probability is that u real livo chief of police— auch as the candidate wo havo mentioned would make—would not not bo very long at a timo in one plnco, but would have his hands full terrorizing and bringing to justice tho evildoers throughout tho length uud breadth of this province of "magnifi* cent distances," Tho idea that no such ofHcor is wanted at all is ill- eoneoived, aud tho counter suggestion that two ba appointed strikes us as trifling, ^^^^^^^^^^ CONFIRMED.
