It is stated that the directors of the North of Scotland Canadian Cattle Com-

pany, seeing the scarcity of store cattle and

ws caused by the spread of pleuro- pneumonia, now propose to import cattle fcom Denmark. The company had not anticipated being able to import Can vdian

cattle till July or Auge@t.

Che Skye Land League has passed a resolution declaring the Government emt gration scheme to be a fraud, started with the view of pleasing the landlords, and stating that nothing would satisfy the de- mands of the crofters except restoration of the lands from which they have been evict- ed. They are determined to continue the agitation.

Advices from London report that the Canadian Pacific loan has hada most re-

markable ran. Thirty millions were appli-

ed for on the Ist of June being between nine and ten times the amount of the issue. Barings, therefore, closed the lists

onthe same night though they must in clude the provincial and _ continental applications due te-murrow. The stock is now at 4}¢t0 5 per cent. premium, and the papers speak of it as cheap, seeing that Dominion 3} per cent. stock is quoted at 106.

The tetal revenue for the ten months is $31,856,724, as against $31,152,- O87 in the corresponding period last year.

Imperial Federation.

A LARGE MEETING IN HALIFAX PASSES RE- SOLUTIONS IN FAVOR OF THE SCHEME-~ ARCHBISHOP O'BRIEN DELIVERS A_ BRIL- LIANT SPEECH, IN WHICH HE SEVERELY DENOUNCES REPEALERS, ANNEXATIONISTS, ETC,

Havirax, June 4.—An important meet- ing to advocate Imperial Federation was held in the Academy to-night. Ex-Gov- ernor Sir Adams Archibald presided and was supported onthe platform by Arch- bishop O’Brien, General Sir John Ross, the hero of the march to Candahar ; W. C. Silver, President of the Chamber of Com- meree; Mayor O'Mullin, ex-Mayor Mackin- tosh, General Laurie, M. P.; M. B. Daly, ex-M. P.; John F. Stairs, ex-M. P.; Revs.

Dr. Partridge, Hole, Gordon,, Laing, Murphy, ete.; J. E. Chipman, Senator Almon, Judge Motton, Dr. Oliver, Col. Lane, Adam Burns, John Doull, Capt.

Rawson and other leading citizens.

The first resolution was moved by Rev. D. M. Gordon and Dr, Partridge, as fol- lows:

This meeting desires to express and record its gratification at the rapid progress which the idea of Imperial Federation has made alike in Canada and in the Mother Country, and its confident hope that by continued exertions on the part of the league, publie sentiment will become more and more pronounced in favor of the objects which the league was formed to promote.

The second resolution, moved by Arch- bishop O’Brien, and seconded by C. H. Cahan, read :

‘That this meeting, while reaffirming as the cardinal principal of Imperial Federation, that the control of the local Parliament over local affairs shall remain wholly untouched, snd as unrestrieted as it now is, nevertheless it is of opinion that the time is at hand when a federation of the whole empire must be formed in such manner as to combine the re- sources of the whole Empire for the mainten- ance of common interests and organized defence of the common rights.”

The third resolution, moved by W. C. Silver, President of the Chamber of Com- inerce, and seconded by John Stairs, ex- M. P., referred to the memorial recently sent Lord Lansdowne, to join 4 eall for the British and Colenial Conference to develope the inter-British trade.

The speeches excited great enthusiasm, and many striking points were cordially applauded.

Rev. De. Partridge paid his compliments to the L.beral press in a stinging manner, and declared that he owed no apology for identifying himself with a movement for the preservation of the empire. The prin- cipal speech of the evening was Archbishop O’Brien, which breathed forth most pa- triotic Canadian sentiments, and was at once a brilliant plea for the federation and a slashing attack on the Nova Scotia re- pealers, reciprocityists and annexationists. His Grace declared himself a loyal and devoted Canadian, proud of his country. He argued that the Canadian farmer was the equal in every respect of his American brother and much more free of debt, and the time was soon coming, if not already here, when, instead of being benefitted by reciprocity, the farm produce would be higher in Halifax than ia New York. Looking straight into the eyes*ef Attorney- General Lougiey, His Grace declared ‘it was tiue for men who aspired w lead public opinion to wake up to the cbanged condi- tion of the agricultural industry in the decade, and tu the still greater changes in the near future. To the annex he hinted that there was plenty of scope for their abilites and am- bitions in laying broad and deep the founda- tious of the worid encircling British power. In the Archbishop made a scathing attack on Goldwin Smith, whom he descibed as the peripatetic of pessimism, becanse forsooth his own lifehas been a dis- mai failure; because his overweening vanity was badly injured in its collision with Canadian common sense, because we would not take phrases void of sense for apo- thegms of wisdom; he, the fossilized enemy of local autonomy and the last defender of worn-out bigotry, has put his feeble curse onthe Canadian natiogality and assumed the leadership of the gruesome crowd of Mrs. Gummeges, who see no future for Canada, but vassalage to the United States. Let them, if it so please, wring their hands incowardly despair; but are we, the descend- ants of mighty races, the inheritors of a vast patrimony, the heirs of noble trad- itions, so poor in vesougces, or so degenerated as to know noform of aetion, save the tears and handwringings of dismal forebod- ings? It is an insult and should be resent- assuch, to be told that annexation is our destiny.

DAILY EXAMINER,

NOTES AND COMMENTS. Things Said and Done on the Streets and Elsewhere.

Are we going to have a firemen’s tourna- ment this year! I see no good reason why we should not. The firemen are eager for it, and their confreres throughout the Pro- vinces are anxious to visit the Island and take part in the proceedings. We all kuow what a success the Halifax tournament was, and what a large amount of money was left in that city as aresult. Why cannot we do likewise and gather in a little of the cash there is floating about? Itis said that the preparations would cost too much, and that there is no guarantee that the affair will be a success financially. This is all bosh. Let a good live committee be se- lected to work up the matter, and | be- lieve that in a very short time a fund would be collected sufficient to defray the expenses of a first-class demonstration. Who will move in the matter /

I see by Tue Examiner of last evening that the firemen of Fredericton are making arrangements for a big demonstration in that city on the Ist July. To this demon- stration they are to invite the firemen of the Provinces and of Maine. Of course the Island firemen will be invited to at- tend, and although the time for preparation is short, I trust that they will accept the invitation. In Halifax they did splendid work, and I see no reason why they should not do equally well at Fredericton. All they want is a little encouragement. Do not tell them that they are out of training and will not have the slightest chance in the different contests; but send a corps of picked men with instructions to win, and if they donot do so it will not be because they did not try. When I see the pro- gramme of sports I may have something further to say on the subject.

Now what about the proposed regatta? Is anyone noving in the matter? Has the fact that the Jubilee Committee have de- cided to hold on to their $200 surplus ‘* just a little longer,” put a damper upon the enthusiasm of the young nen who were moving in the matter? I trust it has not. We have a beautiful harbor for sailing and rowing races, and we have the boats and the men to man them. But these alone will not get up a regatta. They must be backed up with cash. We have the cash, but the men who favor athletic sports do not appear to be the parties who possesses it. 1f they had there would be more money in circulation and less mortgage and sheriff's sales advertised, But perhaps some of the fortunate ones would come down handsomely if the matter were properly re- presented to them.

The accident to the little boy Goudreault an evening or two ago has nut added any- thing to the popularity of Salvation Army processions. It certainly is about time some by-law were passed governing these senseless processions. Other nuisances are prohibited, and 1 fail to see why the Salvation Army nuisance should not at least be restricted. Their vocal and in- strumental wusie (?) is very annoying, par- sicularly to sick persons, and the Army leaders should exercise a little ‘discfetion when inflicting it upon an already suflicientl¥_ tortured people. ‘To my mind they should confine their efforts to their, barracks. There they might hold their meetings and do what they could in their own way to save souls. Noone except those people living in the ueighborhood would have any reason to complain. But when they ap- pear out in procession, beating their drums and each one trying to shout louder than the other, frightening horses and endanger- ing the lives of citizens, it becomes neces- sary for the law to interfere. To be sure we live in a free country, but no one organization should be allowed to mono- polize all the privileges afforded.

When will people learn to be careful about firearms. Every few days one hears or reads about a man or woman coming to his or her death at the hands of some tool- hardy individual who was carelessly hand- ling a gun or revolver. The Jatest story of this kind comes from Amherst. On Sun- day last Richard Beatty, of that place, was handling a loaded revolver when it was ac- cidently discharged, the ball lodging in the lower part of the shoulder blade of his wife who was standing nearhim. The doc- turs have not yet been able to locate the ball. ‘The unfortunate woman is doing as well as possible, and it is thought she will nyt die. The husbaad will probably be more careful in the future.

The Baptists of Charlottetown are evi- dently not without friends in their hour of affliction. Their brethrenin New Brunswick have passed resolutions of sympathy, and are now moving in the matter of practical assistance. Last evening the Boston Ideal Opera Co. gave a concert in aid of the fund in Leinster Street Church, St. John, N. B., and I have no doubt but quite a large sum was realized. The Baptists were gmong the first to respond with help forthe St. Johu sufferers afier the big fire of 1877, andthe St.John people evidently do not forget their friends. RCY.
