Howlan point fact that been made, have proved beyond a doubt that the bed of the strait is pre-eminently suitable for tunnelling. That the work of boring did not progress as rapidly as it would have progressed if all who were en- yaged in it had worked together with a will, is to be regretted. But, om the other hand, every hole which has been bored has added strength to the deduction that tunnel to conaect Prince Edward Island and the Mainland, and to enable the Government of Canada to fulfil the terms of Union with this Province, can be constructed more easily and more cheaply than was ever anticipated by the most sanguine. Mr. Palmer is confident and enthusiastic in re- spect to this grand point. Much as they may disagree with him concerning other and minor points, ali who have been en- yaged upon the work of boring are in per- fect agreement with Mr. Palmer in respect to this essential fact. If some more bor- ings had been made in the deepest part of the Strait, that which is already known, have been more and more clearly demonstrated.

The duty of the Governmeat, then, is clear. if further boring be deemed expedient, let it be

done next year. But, in any case, let the work goon. The honor of Canada ought to be vindicated here as in respect to British Columbia, and the people of Prince Edward island ought, as svon as possible, to obtain the inestimable boon of continuous daily communication with the adjoining contin- ent.

We hope that the people of this Province will show their appreciation of the Govern- ment’s action ia respect to this important matter, and unite as one man to back them up. The steps already taken have been progressive and successful. If we unite to strong opposition of the Upper the Government will, without that the great undertaking is

We announce to-day with great regret, the aeath of H. M. Churchill, Esq. The sad event took place at Ruatico last evening.

Bengough on Missions.

Yesterday the spaci.us basement of the First Method'st Church was literary packed when Mr. J, W. Bengungh appeared on the platform. At half-psst three v’clock the exercises began with a sulo—**The World is Growing Better,” rendered by Mr. J+mes R. Davison. Rev. Mr. Brewer, in a few flattering words introduced Mr. Bengough who remarked that it was now the jubilee year of missions. For 1792 years the church refrained from carrying out the command of the Master to “go into all the world and preach the gospel.” Just one hundred years ago the enterprise com menced, the century being marked on the black board with plain figures. Oblirerating the figure,jone,the speaker said thatthe two ciphers represented the hemispheres. With a quick »pplication of chalk, he caused one representing the world to wear a broad yrin, whilethe other—the church-—appeared in a deep frown. This was the attitude of the world and the church—and for once in their history they clasped hands over the situation. Many consider that the chief object of missions is to take up a collection. A comparison was instituted between the Christian religion and other systems. Heathenism he portrayed as a Upas tree despoiling the nations, citing observances among the Chinese ia feet bandaging and m irriage laws existing among the Brahmins where children are wedded to aged men, and widowhood fol'ow- ing, the child-wife is d»omed tu ignuminy. A full-sized picture of John Bull was given as standing over a kneeling Chinaman imploring that the opinm traffic cease This scene slightly changed represented an African be seeching that the exportation of rum to his country be stopped, Jn strong language, Mr Bengough denounced the sias of Great B itain in these particulare At the conclasi-n the speaker placed a very correct likeness of Rev Mr. Brewer before the audience in connec.ion with his local mission work.

Wedding at St. Peter's.

Ar St. Peter's Courch, in this city, was celebrated this afternoon at 2 o’cluck, the marriage «f Mr. D. A. McKinnon, buarris- ter, of Georgetown, to Miss Louise Owen, the eldest daughter of Cnarles Owen, Esq , Collector of Customs, at the same place. The service was full choral, the Priest In cumbent, Rev. James Simpson, officiating The bride was given away by her father. Her bridesmaids were her sister, Miss May Owen, and Miss McKinnon. She was also attended by two little maids of honor ~Minnie Owen and Marian McDonald The groomsmen were Mr. D. C. McLeod and Mr. John Owen. The service in the Church was bright and impressive.

The happy couple leave by train at 4 o’cluck for Summerside, en route to the Western States, where the honeymoon will be spent. Mr. McKinnon and his fair bride are deservedly popular among all their acquaintances, and they are followed on their wedding trip by the good wishes of all who know them, Tue Examiner in- cluded,

News Notes

Colorado has already had a snowstorm. Cholera has appeared in Warsaw, Russia. Up to date 106,011 barrels of apples have been shipped from Montreal this season.

The Michigsn asylum for the the insane is overcrowded and 1,100 patients are awaiting admission.

A rumor is in circulation in the lighter pore tion ef the press of old London, to the effect that the London Times is to reduce its price toa penny. The report had its origin in the act that the great organ of aristocratic opinion has lately laid {na stock of cheaper paper than that generally used in its p.oduc- tion. It may be taken for granted, too, that in case of a reduction to the popular price the Times will also reduce its size. Rat if it becomes democratic in price it is likely to cease being aristocratic in tone. If the rumor be true, and it has appeared in Mr. Labou- chere’s Truth, the Times is probably trying to extend its circulation. In former days the great it fluence of the Times drew to it an ad- vertising patronage that enabled it to get along with a subscription list quite small in comparison with its great fellow dailies in London, but that influence having somewhat waned it may have become necessary to take radical measures in the attempt to regain a lost position.

A despatch appears in the evening papers from San Francisco stating that the ex- perts who were sent out on the “Uniced States cruiser Corwin to collect further particulars of seal life have obtained a mass of facts in regard to the habits of the seals, which upsets previous theories. The despatch says one of the most important of the facts ascertained is that the seals do not migrate in families, but the males pre- fer to congregate in certain places and the females in uthers. A high authority stated to The Empire the other night that the facts collected by the experts of both Gov- ernments will not be made known until they are laid before the Behring sea arbitra- ters. A mutual understanding to this ef- fect was reached at the beginning of the season. Either the despatch above referred to is a gross fabrication or else it is thrown out as a ** feeler’ to ascertain whether or not evidence in the possession of the Can- adian Government confirms or discredits the evidence obtained by the United States experts.

SUICIDE AT CRAPAUD.

Man and Wife Found Dead.

(Special by Telephone.)

The unfortunate couple formerly lived in Charlottetown where Dr. Byrne practiced his profession, that of 4 veterinary surgeon. He was ad- dicted to the drink habit.

One was found lying on the bed and the other on the sofa. An inquest will be held this evening.
