LETTERS ABOUT NEWFOUNDLAND

Its Conditions and Ii People,

INTERESTING SKETCH OF MR. REID'S POSITION

As the Proprieter and Builder up of

the Ancient Colony.

(Special Correspondence,to, The Examiner)

Nothing, perhaps, marks more forcibly the changed condition of Newtoundlaod with regard to the outside world than the large type advertisement which appears dailyin Tne Examiner, and other news- papers of the Dominion and neighboring Republic. “ The most picturesque sum - merresort in America.” “The Sports- man’s Paradise” as it is well deecribed, is

now within regular and easy reach of the | rest of the continent, and the skilland - enterprise whish have thus opened up what : a decade ago was practically a “ terra in- cognita” are deserving of,the highest praiee.

‘The Ancient Colony has come prominently before tae public eye within the last couple of years, because it has created one of the great men of the Empire in the person of Mr.R.G. Keid. ‘hough playing his part on a more limited fieid and amid less widely known surroundings, Mr. Reid’s position is not unlike that of Cecil Rnodes in South Africa, with this difference in his favor,—tbat while Mr. Rhodes depends upon the popular, vote to carry out his far reaching plans, the Newfoundland mag- nate is independent of that changeable support. Governments may come and governments may go, but like Tennyson’s “Brook,” Mr. Reid goes on forever. A few years ago a well known and enterprising railway contractor in the Dominion and elsewhere,—today, the future of the oldeat British Colony lies practically in his hands. Owner of abovt one-eigk’h of the land, with three years in which to make his se- lection, already controlling the railways, and in six years’ time to couirol the tele- grapbs,; with the coastal steam commun— ication certain to fall to him, proprietor of the dry dock, contractor for paving the streets of the capital and running an elect-

rc street railway there, — it seems that there is little Jett in the island over which in some

way his shadow does not fall. Even the Bruish press has awakened to the mag

nitude of the operation, and the astute statesman who presides over the destinies of the Colonial office has characterized itas the greatest abnegation Of iis rights on the part of a self-governing colony which is on record. And yet behind it all lies the ques~ done

tion, could Newfoundland have betcer? Loaded with a heavy debt, with fisheries precarious always

and of late years steadily deprevia ing in value, some step was necessary. Mr. Reid’s own future is bouad up with the development of the country. Only by dis- covering and developing the mineral wea:th aod other resources of the Island can he hope to recoup himself for the immense outlay involved. It is ior this reason that many, perhaps most, of the intelligent New foundianders seem to regard the travsaction as the best thiag they could do. There are, of course, bitter attacks by Opposition newspapers, (and nowhere cen uewepapers be so bitter as in New~ fouvdland) but the main objection, se far as one could discover, is to the provision whereby at the end of ‘ifty years the rail- way becomes the property of the con- tractor. Toone who has had the privi~ lege of travelling over the road, aud who has known somewhat of paying railways in the Dominion, the(?) inference is v2ry Clear that unless Mr. Reid succeeds in developing the coun- try toavery remarkable extent, and in ways that do not now appear, the more a man or government owns of Newfound-~ land railway the poorer hé will be. Mean- time the colony receives a million of dol- lars asa nest egg, ond if she choses toinye:t | it at compound interest for the fifty years | it will be asnug sum. Keeping these facts in mind a few notes ona recent trip to Newfoundland may not be uninteresting to

the readers of Twe ExaMINer. a 3

INDIGNATION IN ENGLAND.

Position if “Affairs in China,

RUSSIAN INFLUENCE PREVAILS OVER CHINESE GOVERMENT. Mr Balfour's Statement and What it Means.

[SpiciaL To Tue Examiver.]

Lonpoy, Aug. 13.—The papers express the growing indignation of this country with the position of affairs in China. The

Graphic says: ‘If this state of things con~!

tinues the guns will go off themeelves.”

Lonvoyn, Aug. 12.—In the House of commons yesterday, Mr. Balfour, Govern- ment leader, admiited that the facts set forth in the Pekin despatch to the London Times were sabstantially corre :t.

The correspondent of the Times cabled that the Tsung-Li~Yamen had given for- mal assent to all the conditions propoted by the Russian charge d’affaires, M. Pabloft, regarding tlie contract for the Ny-Shang railroad loan, these conditions being in direct conflict with the signed contract, and designed to block the means for the final completion of the contract, the whole movement being designed as a blow at British concessions. Atter making the admission referred to today, Mr. Balfour added that the matter was engaging the serious attention of the government.

This statement wasreceived with cheers.

Mr. Balfour’a speech appears to have been intended as a statement of the Gov- ernment’s policy in China, which the 7: positions has beén demanding before the close of Parliament. He did not enter into details of the complications, and the drift of his explanation was that tbe Govern- men’s critics expected im possibilities.

During the course of his remarks Mr. Balfour said it would not be pretended that the British Empire alove, or in an alliance with another Empire, could prevent the legitimate development of other commercial and military Empires. Mr. Balfour then said: “Toough we may not anticipate maintaining our old relative sv.eriority WeChina, it is expected that the volume of British trade will increase as rapidly in the future a8 in the past. The question of equal facilities of trade is distinct from the question of concessions.”

GOLD IN LABRADOR.

Yellow Metal in Paying Quantities Said to Have Been Found.

Quevec, Aug’ 12.—There is a report that gold in paying quantities has been found near Pipmaukin, on the head waters of the Rivers Shipshaw and Bersiamites. It has been known for over 50 years past that the Iadians of that region possessed gold, for they exchanged it from time to time for supplies with traders at Cuicoutimi. Un- til quite lately, when fresh samples turned up, it was not known where the precious metal was obtained.
