A Centrast.

Tur Ontario prohibition plebiscite bill provides that persons qualified to vote shall be of two classes, those who are entitled to vote at elections for the Legislature and widows and unmarried women who are qualified to vote at municipal elections. The plebiscite is to be taken on the first Monday in January, on the same day as t he municipal elections. In Ontario the Gevernment evidently desire to have the fullest possible expression of opinion on this very important matter. How different it isin Prince Edward Island the beneficent sway of the Peters Combination ! Instead of making provision for a full and complete expression of opinion on this very important question, oar plesbiscite bill (if we remember aright) provides that only such persons as are qualified to vote for members of the Local Legislature shall be entitled to vote on the prohibition ques- tion. This, of course, shuts out several hundred Dominion employes who are not to vote at Provincial elec-

The World's Fair.

A rrip around the world amply repays any person who can afford te make it. Un- fortunately, however, the cost of such a trip is so great as to place it beyond the reach of the bulk of the people. The next thing to a trip around the world is a visit to Chicago, where the great Fair is in progress, The fare to and from Chicago is not very great, and those who can afford tc make the trip will likely do so. At the Fair will be assembled persons of almost every nation, speaking their own language,

and observing their own customs. As an exchange points out, there will be ‘“‘the brown Egyptians plying their native trades; black Soudanese

with slit cheeks and well-oiled skin; swar- thy Bengalese, in their gorgeous costumes, and a host of others. They will have about them as much of their native lands as is possible to transport hither or reproduce by art and skill.” THe Examiner has a special correspondent at Chicago, and he will forward an interesting series of letters descriptive of the great Fair. For those who cannot afford a trip to Chicago and see all that is to be seen there, the next best thing is to buy‘and read Tue Examiner regularly.

Personal.

Charles Palmer, Esq., returned last even- ing from his trip te Washington, D. C.

Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Davies were in St. John a tew days ago, on their way to the United States.

The Victeria, B. C., Colonist of April 27 says: Fred. Perkins and A. W. Sterns, two of the representative young business men of Charlottetown, P. KE. L, are guests at the Driard to day. They are travelling for rest and pleasure, and will go to Tacoma this evening.

St. John Progress says: The marriage of the Rev. W. B. King takes place in Boston about the end of the month. His friends here were much surprised at the announcement of his engagement, no rumors of its approach having reached them. I hear that his late congregation mean to treat him exceedingly wellin the way of presents. Mr. King’s honey-moon will be spent in England.

Rev. Dr. Lawrence, the new bishop of Masesachusetts, is a much younger man than his predecessor was when he took office. He is a member of the well known Boston family of his name, and a graduate of Harvard of the class of 1871. He has been for four years dean of the Cembridge Theological school, and has held the chaic of homiletics in that institution a mach longer period. Bishop Lawreace, +s we may call him by anticipation, is a broad churchman.

Ovnus W. Fietp.—The late lamented Cyrus W. Field, of world wide tclegraph fame, had a $10,000 life policy in the Great Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York. On hia death, a short time ago, his executors presented this policy, $10,000, to the company for payment. The im- mediate response was a revelation to al! concerned. Not only was the $10,000, the face of the policy, paid, but profits thereon $19,365—grossing to the estate nearly $50,000 for » $10,000 policy. Such marvellous results have never obtained in any other life company. Mr. Muaceachern represents the company on P. E. Isjand.

Potice Court.—This morning, M Doyle, painter, was sent to jail for assault- ing & woman named Kinsloe and breaking her arm. It appears that Doyle, who only returned from the United States recently, undertuck to beat his wife and Mrs. Kins- loe undertook to make peace. Doyle did not relish the interference, and catching hold of Mrs. Kinsloe to put her out of the way, broke her arm. James Dogherty, drunk and disorderly after hours, waa fined

$10 or 20 days.

Amok ~-This forenoon a steer, mighty in bulk and fierce of eye, being in charge of a countryman in the vicinity of the market, suddenly broke away from his keeper. He ran amok up Queen Street closely followed by a popular American potato buyer who, however, failed tu make a capture. The animel was finally cornered at the upper end of the street after having ‘raised a commotion in every place,” but failing to do any serious damage.

Coming Tariff Changes in the States. (St. John Sun.)

The United States Congress elected last year will be in a position in the autumn of this year to take action on the tariff. lt will be at least a year, and probably a year and a half from now before any changes made can go into effect. But in the mean- time the public men who have in charge the preparation of the new tariff bill are actively in perfecting its details. In this country where responsible government ex- ists, the tariff is framed by the government and submitted to the full house in com- mittee. Tariff legislation in the United States originates in the committee of ways and means, or rather is submitted to that committee by its chairman. After the committee has dealt with the measure it goes to the House of Representatives, where it is proposed by the chairman of the committee.

The New York Times, which supports President Cleveland and tariff reduction, is of the opinion that the bill as introduced- will repeal most of the duties on raw mate rials. The Times believes that coal and coke, iron ore,wool and lumber will be made free. The reason for the abolition of the duty on lumber as a building material would also make in favor of free lime and building stone and perhaps brick.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Press serves a republican paper and may not be the best authority on the intentions either of the Cleveland adminis- tration or of the democratic chairman of the committee of ways and means. He, however, ventures the prediction that the duties on live stock, poultry, grain and eggs will be reduced tu one-half the present rate. The result of the abolition of the duty on raw material would be a small Joss of rev- enue, but it is not certain than any loss of revenue would follow the reduction of the duty on farm produce to one-half. Some of the McKinley duties on farm produce are prohibitive or nearly so, and therefore are not preductive of revenue.

It cannot be denied that the reduction of a new United States’ tariff is a matter of great interest to Canada. But the dom- inion takes it for granted that such changes as are made will be made for the benefit of the United States without regard to other countries, Congress will legislate for the people it represents. If the new United States tariff is satisfactory to Can- ada it will not be because our neighbors try to make itso. The MeKinley b:ll was a strictly protective measu:e, and probably no detail of it was inserted to injure Can- ada. If it bad thet effeet—and the injury has been much l.ss than was anticipated — that result was an incident and not a part of the purpose of the act. There is no good reason for Canadians to regard the MciKin- ley bill as a hostile or uafriendly measure Nor is there any sound reason for Canad- jans to suppose that their interests will be considered in the legislation of the demo- cratic cchgress.

i Ta Thrilling Experience.

According to a recent despatch from New York, Capt. Burdick, of the schooner Booth Bres., wrecked on Brigantine shoals in the heavy easterly gale on Thursday morning, tells a thrilling story of the wreck and rescue. The schooner Booth Bros ssiled from Tenant's Harbor, Me., Apcil 29.h, for Philadelphia, with 500 tons of

paving stones. The crew consisted of six

men, and the captain’s wife and child accompanied him on the voyage. Every- thing continued well uutil May 1, when the schooner tock a heavy noriheact gale which continucd with fury until they struck on

the dangerous Brigartine shoals, near Bar- negat, at 4a. m., on May 4

She remained in this position until the wind sifted to the west, and drove her off the shoals into the deep water where she soon afterward sunk. As soon as the captain discovered that the schooner was sinking they launched the life boat, and notwithstanding the tremend:us sea run- ning atthe time, succeeded in getting all into the boat in safety. Taking his wife's apron, he tied it to an oar, and the men tcok turns in keeping the signal upright, so that it might be seen by a passing vessel. After two hours of drifting in the raging sea and being drenched to the skin, the boat was sighted by Captain Bird, of the schooner James W. Bigelow, Clenfusgos, for New York.

After wearing the vessel five times Oap- tain Bird succeeded in g. tting a live to the boat and dropped hera ter . The sea was too violent to get alongside, and the only ho; e of successful rescus was by means of the breeches buoy, brought into use by the line already scoured between the schvover and the boat. The captain's wife was first piled aboard, then the child and crew, the captain being the last to leave the boat. Alli were brought to New York on the schooner James W. Bigelow, noue the worse fur the experience except the drenching and the Joss of their entire outfit,

COLLISION AT SBA,

A Steamer Collides With a Schooner,

And the Latter is Badly Damaged,

Havirax, May 9.

The steamer Havana, from Newfound- land via Sydney, when nine miles off Whitehead collided with the schooner J. A. Silver, of Lunenbarg. The accident occurred on Sunday evening. The par- ticulars are not yet known. It is reported, however, that the steamer saw the schooner’s starboard light, but through some con- fusion she boarded her on the port side by the chain plates, cutting her into the fore- mast, which put the schooner on her beam ends. There were seventeen men on Xoard as the time. Part were below. Two of the men who were asleep at the time are suppose#to be in the forecastle. The remainder were rescued. The steamer took the vessel in tow to Whitehead. Operations will be commenced at once for righting the wrecked schooner, and the recovering, if possible, of the bodies. Two of the missing men are George Snows, of Lunenburg, and Willie Chrouse, of Lahave.

_————

Lonpon, May 9.

The Commons went into committee on the Home Rule Bill yesterday. Mr. Cham- berlain moved te postpone clause one which simply provides that on and after an appointed day there should be a legisla- turein Ireland. Mr. Chamberlain said it was his inteation to move the postpone- ment of every clause up to the clause pro- viding for the reduction of Irish members

in the Imperial Parliament and to begin the discussion of the bili with this most important proposal. The motion was rejected, 250 to 213. The motion to amend clause one by

reaflirming the supremacy of Parliament in local as-well as Imperial matters was also lost on a vote of 285 to 233. After closure # motion by Morley was carried by 243 to 195.

Carlyle Harris Electroguted.

He Protests His Innocence.

New York, May 9.

Carlyle W. Harris was electrocuted yes- terday. Thecrime for which he suffered the death penalty was the murder of his wife. Harris died protesting his innocence.

{Carlyle Harris was born Sept. 23, 1869, at Glen Falls, N. Y. Ha followed various clerical occupations uatil he was 19 years old, when he entered the College of Physi- cians and Surzeons—the medical school annex of Columbia College—in New York city. He proved an excep:icnally bright student, aud was making a name for him- self in college when his college course was suddenly cut short by his arrest on the charge of having murdered his school-girl wife, Helen Potts, who diid suddenly at the boarding-scchool where she attended. At the time of her death her marriage with Harris was unknown and no suspicion attached to him. In course of time various suspicious circumstances in connection with Helen Potts’ death became known, the matter was agitated in the newspapers, and Harris came forward and surrendered him self. ° He was tried in January, 1892, and convicted on circumstantial evidence, and was sentenced to death. He appealed to the court of appeals, but the judgment of the lower court was unanimously aflirmed. Application for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence was then made to Recorder Smythe, but in vain. Harris was re-sentenced to die in the electric chair during the week beginning May 8 and was taken to Sing Sing on the 23:d of March. }
