The attraction of the day was a grand parade of the Militia on Victoria Park, in

resitences

which two Batteries of Artillery, the Char- lottetown Engineers and the two service Companies of the 82nd Battalion under

command of Major F. Dogherty, took part.

At noon the Militia Force mustered at Fort Edward. The Park was then throng- ed with spectators. A Royal Salute was

from the Fort by No. 2 Battery, and ie by the remainder of the troops. then presented arms, the lowered, the Battalion Band played the National Anthem, and three | cheers were given for the Queen. No, 2) Battery then fell into line, and the whole force marched past His Honor the Lieut. Governor in excellent style. The com panies were then divided into attacking and defending parties.

Artillery were supposed to have effected al a

landing from the river, on the breastwork | ,,

near Brighton Road. They were discovered |

by a scout from the Engineers, who was only ten or —— yards from the line, and as they opene fire the scout beat a]

hasty retreat. One of the _ service companies then extended quickly, opened a hot fire, and effectually held

the enemy in check. In the meantime the artillery attempted to outflank the defend. ers, but one of the service companies which eccupied the wooded knoll on the right, | opened a heavy fire which threw the| artillery inte confusion, They rallied how- ever, end attempted to carry the knoll bya bayonet charge but were repulsed. During the retreat they were outflanked by the service companies and compeiled to change the frent. In this movement they were supp°rted by the remainder of the artillery, throwing back their left. The attack and defence was then closed by an exciting bayonet charge in which the men behaved admirably. The militia were then marched to the Drill Shed in columns of half com- panies, headed by the Band of the 82ad Battalion, playing ‘‘Cheer Boys Cheer.”

The Jubilee Singers.

We were led to expect beautiful music from the Jubilee Singers; and the expec- tation was more than realized. Each singer is a liviog musical instrument of the finest quality. The music produced by the troupe is divine. lt moves everyone who can at all be touched by the concord of sweet souuds. It ia the finest harmony informed by the very spirit of the compositions which are ren ter- ed and illustrates the wonderful capabilities of human voices under good training aud

the inspraticn which those have who fpossess the giftof song. The applause of the audience was genuine and enthuaisstic, but it would have been better expressed had there been less oof the stamping of fee and more of the clapping of hands. The leading sopranoc—Miss Jackson

and Mrz, Porter-Cole—each sang asolo which was rapturously encored, and the men gave a very fine quartette to vary the programme, which was for the most part made up of choruses. They will give another eoncert in Y. M. C. A. Hall this evening. There will be a crowded room, of course, and probably a larger number of persons will bring their purses with them, and so be able to buy “‘ the book.” A lady desires us to express her hope that Miss Porter- Cole will sing ‘* The Lost Chord.”

CoLoneL Moxris.— Yesterday we receiy- ed ashort letter from Col. Morris, ‘‘the hero of Battleford,” dated Battleford, May Sch. After expressing his delight at the appearance of Otter and his men, he says his duties were many, and lasted almost twenty out of every twenty-four hours. For over four weeks he never had his clothing off, except to make a change. He stdtes that he bad nearly four hundred women and

children in the barracks during the siege, ani felt the responsibility to be véty heavy with so few trained men. He had fifty of the

mounted police, fifty of the Battlefo:d Rifles, and atout one hundred citizen soldiers under his command, to meet about six hundred bloc dthirsty Indians and Half- breeds. Hesperks in the highest terms of the quality of the troops, especially of the Northwest Mounted Police, which he claims to be the best force in Canada. Word was continually sent him by the Indians that they would attack the Fort and wipe them out of existence. His invariable reply was that he had no fear, and was able for twice their number.— F rede ricton Capital. = = pt

A Great CommerciaL Parser. — The commercial columns of the Montreal (javette are remarkable for full and reliable information on every branch of trade, particulary on the country produce market, which are elaborately detailed. This year the (azette, ir. order to further increase its lead on commercial affairs, has secared the full control of the official statistics and information compiled by the Montreal Corn Exchange Association, which are published exclusively in the Gavette. Arrangements, itis understood, have been made, whereby the Gazetle will sseure fulland special information on the cheese trade, in the shape of special advices from Liverpool, Brockville and several other leading points. Another feature of the Gazette's commercial is its live steck re- port, which includes speci«l cable reports of the British live stock trade, which will bo found of great value to shippers throughout the country.

Ch’town, May 21, 1885. The European Situation— Unsettled

According to a despatch to the New York Herald, the situation in Europe still looks warlike. In the House of Commons on the 21st inst., the Marquis of Hartington, Secretary for War, in reply to a question by Sir Stafford Northcote stated that it was thought by the government desirabie not to give the reasons for the detention of the Guards at Alexendria. ‘‘ It was stated by the goveenment some time ago,” added Lod Hartington, ‘that it was desirable

t» concentrete the British troops then in the Soudan for possible service elsewhere. That operation is not yet suspended.”’ All the troops from

Seakim have been ordered to remain in Kyvypt. in accordance with a telegram from the British Government. The Guards will go into garrison at Ramleh, and the other troops at Abassieh, near Cairo. Following these instructions the Admirality telegraph- ed orders to Portsmouth to prepare the man-of-war Cormorant for sea as rapidly as possible, and to expedite work on the iron clads Sultan, Rupert, Devastation and Polyphemus preparatory to their joining the fleet.

Meanwhile there is no sign of a relaxa- tion of military work in India. Afghan advices report that reinforcements are con- tinuously going from Candahar to Herat. it is expected that the railway wil! be com- pleted to Mutch in sixty days. Material has been ordered suflicient, to carry the line to Candahar.

** Nothing is yet settled,” said Mr. Glad- stone, ‘fin regard to arbitration between England and Russia, nor has it been defin- itely settled who shall be the arbitrator.”

The Egyptian Situation.

The Times says :—‘ There is too much reasou to fear that a hostile combination against British influence and interests in Egypt has been organized by the European powers. Their action in respect to the Egyp'ian convention and in forcing the Khedive by their protests to refund the hve percentage which had been deducted from the amount of the coupons has been clearly intended to show that they are determined to insist upon every point against England.”

Beer versus Whiskey.

ed

(New York Herald.)

It is undoubtedly a fact that the appetite for spirituous liquors is on the decrease in this country. This is partly due to the moral suasion exercised by total abstinence societies, and partly the vse of beer. It may seem to certain uncompromising anti- everything folk a curious anomaly that the brewers should stand in unbroken line on the side of temperance, but no one can hesitate, when beer and= whiskey demand our evfferance, which horn of the dilemma to choose, If people can’t have all they want, there may be some wisdom in taking what they can get.

The British Government have cabled the Governor-General authorizing the payment of £100 sterling to each of the widows of the Canadian voyageurs who lost their liver on the Nile expedition with Lord Wolseley, and £50 sterling to the mothers who have been left in destitute circum- stances by the los of sons who accompanied the expedition.
