PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, TUESDAY, DECEMBE

‘Tue Dairy EXAMINER.
DECEMBER 38, 1878.
A yeAR and a half have rolled away ; and | the Dairy Examiner still lives.
Indeed it may now be truly said that the Datry Examiner is one of the ‘ institu- tions” of the Province.
An appetite for a daily paper has been formed; and, judging by the increasing sales of the Datty Examryer in the city, along the line of railway, and in the various towns throughout the Province, it is doubtful if the people could live without their daily paper.
Hurd though the times and dark the pros- pect of the coming winter, it is our inten- tion to continue the publication of the Datty Examiner, so that the popular de- mand may be supplied.
_ Throughout the winter we intend to sup- ply to the public, by means of the Dairy ExAMINER, a daily telegra:n containing news
‘of all the notable events which shall tran-
spire throughout the world in this great crisis of its history.
Through the Darty Examiner the people of the Island shall—from day to day—and, independently of the Northern Light or Muttart and Irving—be informed of what is transpiring in Afghanistan, in Russia, in Germany, in the neighboring Republic, and most important of all—in the mother ountry.
We shall, if possible, send a special cor- respondent to report for the Datry Examr- NER the Parliamentary proceedings at Ottawa, with special reference to those which most directly and most deeply inter- est the people of this Island.
The local news shall be given through the Damy Examiner promptly, truly and as full as possible.
For the large means required to carry out this work we look to the people whose wants the Datry Examiner will supply, and whose varied interests we shall assidu- ously endeavor to promote.
The original subscribers of the Darty EXAMINER will, in the course of a few days, be called upon for a renewal of their favors.
The beginning of another term is a good time to subscribe ; and persons who have not hitherto taken the Darry Examiner would do well to subscribe now.
In connection with the Datty Examiner the Weekiy Examiner will be issued, at the unprecedentedly low subscription price of ONE DOLLAR a year-—payment to be made in advance.

NEWS BY TELEGRAPH.

A London special says the result of Schou- valoff’s interview with the Marquis of Salis- bury is reported as follows :—‘‘'The Marquis stated explicitly to the Russian Ambassador that Great Britain would not permit, on any account, the shightest infringment of or devia- tion from the Berlin Treaty, nor any prolong- ation of time of the Russian occupation of sulgaria. For any intermediary interference in the Afghaniston affairs, he further expresses his surprise that so able a statesman as Schou- vuloff should be engaged in such a useless en- deavor. Schouvaloif, seeing his mission has entirely failed, will probably leave London at an early day.”
Lawore, Nov. 30.
A signalling party, under Major Pearson, were attacked by the Afreedies, one of the hill tribes, opposite the Khyber Pass, and two men of Pearson’s troop-of-horse were killed and one wounded. The Khyber Pass is blockaded, and several convoys have returned. A company of the Ninth Regt. and Forty fifth Sikhs have been sent to the scene of ac- tion, whence firing has been heard, but the result is unknown. Continued heavy firing has also been heard near Ali Musjid since yes- terday. The trouble with Afreedies is not serious, as only one tribe is hostile.
Lonpon, Noy. 30.
Schouvaloff’s mission is creating uneasiness merely because nobody seems to know what is Song on. : ,
VesuAwuR, Friday Evening, ) via London, Nov. 30. §
Gen. Brown's communication is temporarily cut. The hostile highlanders, estimated at 4,000 in number, are collected in the hills below Ali Musjid. They cut off stragglers and fire on armed parties. ‘The section of the Pass between Jumrood and Ali Musjid has been closed altogether for the present. A strongly escorted convoy failed to force its way to-day. The situation is serious and strong measures are inevitable.
Lonpon, Nov. 30,
The London correspondent of the ‘Journal des Debates” contradicts the statement that England has demanded from Russia explana- tions concerning General Kaufman’s speech on the occassion of his delivery of sword from the Czar to Mundsha Mohomed.
Lonxpon, Dee. 1.
A dispatch to the Observer from Vienna says General Kauffmann has been recalled to St. Petersburg.
_ The Observer's dispatch from Lahore dated Saturday, says Major Canagnari officially re- ports that all is quiet in the upper part “Kahy- ber Pass, and he hopes to soon disperse the hand collected in the lower parts. Many members of the band have already left.
A Reuter’s telegrain from Lahore reports that another strongly escorted convoy has been attacked. Its assailants were, however, driven back, and it is believed the convoy has arrived at Ali Musjid.
It was reported that the Ameer had consid- erably reinforced troops at Jellalabad. The Viceroy, however, telegraphs the report that treasure and ammunition have been withdrawn from that city.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 1.
Prince Lebanoff has reassured Safvet Pasha concerning the execution of the Treaty of Berlin by Russia, and stated he had arranged with Gen. Todleben in regard te the settle- ment of pending difficulties. e particularly referred to the restoration of Mussulman refugees to their homes.
Pesru, Dee. 1.
In Budget Committee of the Austrian dele- gation, Count Andrassy in replying to ques- tion, said, ‘‘The occupation of Bordia and Herzegovina would cease when its object was accomplished, and when Turkey had reim- bursed the outlay which was incurred, and guaranteed future orderly Government of the Provinces. Austria's mission should only be altered by the unanimous decision of the powers. The Committee thereupon adopted the estimates of the Foreign Office, thus clo- sing the conflict between the Government and the delegation,
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 1.
Prince Labanoff has informed Safvet Pasha that the Russians will evacuate Bulgaria and Roumania conformable with the treaty~of Ber- lin, but she will continue to hold Adrianople and Thrace, pending the Porte’s acceptance of the Definitive Treaty.
Lonpon, Dec. 1.
The Standard’s despatch from Thull says : “The Afghans have got their guns upon Peiwer Pass, and have established a battery on the summit. The Afghan troops swarm on the ridges. Three regimerts failed to turn the enemy’s position Saturday, and retired on diseovering their strength, One man was killed and twelve were wounded. The with- drawal of the battery and camp of the re- mainder of the force was readered necessary by the accuracy of the Afghaa artillery fire. The British will attack the Pass on Monday, after the troops have a day’s rest. They are confident of a good result, although the Pass is 7,00U feet high. The fighting will cer- tairtly be severe.
A despatch from Suphar says; ‘‘News from the Quettah column is discouraging in con sequence of the loss of camels. It is univer- sally believed that the advanee on Candihar will be delayed until spring.
A despatch to the ‘‘Daily News” from Pes- hawar, Saturday night, says: ‘General Appleyard, who was seut to clear Keyber Pass has been heavily engaged. Reinforce- ments have been sent from Jamrood. It seems positively necessary to order up a re- serve division to maintain communication as Peshawur is alrnost denied of garrison.
Lonpon, Nov. 30.
The shot has been extracted from Gye’s side, and he feels much relieved.
The Hatterly Iron Company have refused an offer of 900 workmen to resume work at a reduction of 5 re cent. on their wages, and is resolved to make a reduction at 10 per cent. The distress among the workmen is keen, and

Maprip, Nov. 30. A despatch contradicts the statement of the Journal des Devates concerning Alfonso’s in- tent to ask the hand of the Princess Christine in marriage.
Lonvox, Nov. 30. A Vienna despatch says that the Opposition to the Government in the Budget Committee
are being more personal and ob- structive. The conduct of the Opposition leaders is alienating even their own supporters. itis thought that the affair will
make a reconstruction of both the Austrian and Hungarian Cabinets immediately neces- sary, as the Opposition are probably willing to grant supplies to a definitive Cabinet. Panis, Nov. 30. The Journal des Debates states that Alfonso, King of Spain, has determined to ask the hand of Princess Christina, sister of the late Queen Mercedes, in marrlage. The stotement re- quires confirmation. CoPpENHAGEN, Nov. 20. The marriage of the Princess Thyra of Deu-
