CHINA POINT WHARF.

Sir,—As it is a common boast amongst tne Grits that “‘onr wharves and bridges

present Government came into power” a brief account of the way they bave “at- tended” to China Point wharf, that was always keptin a good state of repair by the Conservatives, may be of some inter- est to your intel'igent readers.

Sbortly after Tarte “ascended the throne” in 1896 this wharf, ora part of it at least, began to gradually sink into the river, a8 though it were trying to hide its

head in shame of our vew boss. And

nothing bas vetbeen done to arrest the progress uf decay ihat has been going on ever since; and this notwithstanding iuat

we bavea Minister in the Cahinet with portf-lio, and a government of “business men” who have vot serupled to sp-nd milliuos of money in other parts of the Dominion, but have persistently refused to grant the farmers of this Jocality the shipping facilities they eo badly need.

But we mu-t give Satan his due Tarte did do something in this matter for at the 96-97 sevsion ot Parliament the sum $600 was voted for the purposes, so *twas said of repairing our whart. Then with a great flourish of trumpets, the grits brought over to China Point six pieces of painted tim ber— poisoned p'lea they called them— and with this material they were going to do such a fine jobthiat in the spring we would have a wharf that would withs'and the ravages of time aod the worm-! Rut alas! for grit promises when spring came the only change we saw in the wharf was. tta a part of it had floated balf a mile down the river, while the timber that had cost nearly $100 a stick was left to rot on the bank, thereby effordinz us another illustration of how the people’s muon: y is spent by cur government of “business is bu-ines-” men.

Not. ing more was heard about the matter ull last fall when word came from Sr Louis “ that the sum of $2.500 was to be voted fir the purpose of re-building our wherf, the work to be completed io t'me for the epring’s shipping. Thisnews created great ¢xcitement in the grit camp, and the first question was who would bave

the job of overs:eing the work?” There wasa calm,then suddenly two of the

faitbfal bretheron swingi:g their “soup ladles” round their beads, rushed into the arena to fight forthe “jul.” each com- & au’ vowing ‘hat “if he did not get it b+ svud mike t hot for our local govern ment! All wioter long the fight raged, until gentle spring came bringing with it a temporary cCestation of hostilities, +o that the white flag will likely float till another message comes from Ottawa. Meanwhile, Mr. Editer, in common withthe rest of the suffering cleciors of Canada, the chief canse that enables us to bear patiently with smiling faces the torture of grit misrule is to be found in the contemplation of the fact that in the year)90°, when Tarte and his minions shall be forced to appear atthe bar of public opinion, we shall share in the glory of wiping out of exist~ ence One of the most extravagant and incapable go ernment that ever disgraced @ Civilized country.

New York, June l.—A despatch to the World from Port Antonio, Jemaica, says

about midnight. Two torpedo boats made a desperate effort 10 destroy the American ships.

The Texas and the Brooklyn poured such a furious shower of small shells at the torpedo boats that the latter wire forced to turn about and seek safety in the harbor.

What damage they sustained is not known,

The torp do boats took shelter under the for's and no attempt to pursue them was made.

It is thought that neither of them was struck, as they retreated quickly and they made small targets in the uncertain light. j The Spaniards did not discharge their torpedce tough the» got within 500 y-r s of the Texar.

The greatest vigilance is maintained at night on the Amer.can fleet to prevent such attacks as this one was.

Such nerve-raking duty will soon hav its effect upon officers and men who hope to end it all in one decisive sweep upon the Spanish fleet and forts.

Schley’s ships have made an examina tion of the batteries and channel, the search revealing muc s‘'ronger guns az mines than were supposed to exist, Early yesterday morning the Marbiehead {ven tured to'within two miles of the harbor and recognized the cruisers Cristobal Culor; @ cruiser of the, Vizcaya type, and the dismantled ‘cruiser Reina Mercedes uj on which guns have bsen mounted msking her a fioating fort.
