Water Commissioners Petition.
ue application of the Water Commis- sioners for a further credit of $12,000 is &
rather unpleasant surprise to many per-
sons. Yet it often happens that works of the kind they have been engaged in cost more than the amount of the estimate. It must be admitted too, that we have a first- class system of water works, and that the water (when not allowed to become green ) is excellent. To let the work of supplying service pipes be stopped for want of $12,- 000 would be a folly not to be contemplat- ed fora moment. The only question is— about the interest? To pay seven per
cent. interest to the bank, when five per
cent. city debentures are selling at a premium « f six or seven per cent., 1s not business-like-—-to say the least of it. We are
yiad, therefore, to learn that the Recorder
has decided that the city has not yet reach- ed the limit of its borrowing powers, and that he will advise that the money required be raised by debentures and placed to the Commissioners’ credit.
By the way, other towns sre issuing de- bentures at four per cent. Why not

Lord Salisbury's Letter.
Conriictrxe reports of Lord Salisbury’s letter concerning the proposition to issue an invitation to the Colonies to take part in a conference looking to Imperial Fe:ler- ation, have been published, and some muis- apprehension exists concerning it. To move this misapprehension we publish the ipsisieéma verba of the letter, as
tullows JvuLy 23rd, 1889.
My Dear Lorp Rosesery,—I have laid be- fore my colleagues the request which you have addressed to me on behalf of the Imperial Federation League, that I should receive a deputation from the League “to ask the Gov- ernment to take into consideration the advis- ability of issuing an invitation from Her Majesty's Government to the Governments of self-governing Colonies to send delegates to London at an early opportunity, te confer and report upon the possibility of establishing :igser and more substantial union between the Mother Country and such Colonies, to the advantage of the whole Empire.”
in reply I have to say that we shal! be hap- py to receive, and to eonsider with all the re- spect due to a communication from so influen- tial a body, any suggestions which the League desires to make fur the purpose of modifying the relation between this country and its
slonies, But we are not of opinion that it is within the prevince of Her Majesty’s Govern ment to summon a meeting of representatives from various parts of the Empire in order to devise suggestions of this character.
If the colonies desire to consult together for this purpose, they cau select representatives todo so without any summons or assistance the intervention of Her Majesty's
Irom us, Government in a matter where their agsist- ls
AD pot required would only lead to mis- spprehension. It would seem to imply that we were prepared to make recommendations for esta»lishing closer and more substantial union cetween the Mother Country and the Colo or, at least, that we were tully con-
I vince i of the possibility of doing so. in our opinion, it would be an unusual and inexpéedieat course for the Government to summon a meeting to consider the question of Federation, unless they were themselves pre- pared to make a recommendation upon the subject.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) SA.isevry.
Lord Resebury in his reply says that the Imperial Federation League will send a deputation to the Government after the summer holidays, and continues :-
‘We cannot, however, concur with the contention in your letter—that ‘if the Colonies desire to consult together for this purpose, they can select representatives to do
so without any summons or assistance from us; and ‘thatthe intervention of Her Ma- jesty s Government in a matter in which their
assistance is not required would only lead to misapprehensi nm.
** We think that me stings of the Colonies
eu this subject without the intervention and under a presidency other than that of Her Majesty's Government should be deeply de- precated. We cannot help feeling that that view requires re-consideration both from the point of view of Imperial unity and the supreinacy of the Crown. “We cannot forget the paragraph in the ueen's Speech in 1886: ‘I am led to the couviction that there is on all sides a growing de sire to draw closer in ev ery practicable way the bonds which unite the various portions of the Empire.
** Phat conviction of Her Majesty's advisers csnnot have been weakened by what occurred at the Conference which was convoked im- mediately afterwards; and if that conviction be well founded, as we think it is, there can be no question that steps should be taken to prove its validity, and that Her Majesty's Government is the proper body to ere it into effect. It is not any Government of Can- ada or Australia that can summon a Confer- ence to bring about the realization of the ‘growing desire to draw closer in every practicable way the bonds which unite of various portions of the Empire ;’ it is only the Government of Great Britain. We would further remind you that five years ago the Right Hon. W. H. Smith moved a resolution that ‘in order to avert disintegration, and to secure the permanent unity of the Empire, some form of Federation is indispensable.’
** We therefore cannotthink that we are premature in urging on Her Majesty's present Ministers that a subject so recognized and so pressing, which was excluded from the Con- ference of 1887, should be considered at a further gathering of the various states of the Empite.
This correspondence is not, as we ventur- ed to anticipate, discouraging tu the cause of Imperial Federation. Great bodies move siowiy; the Imperial Government will, no doubt, be prepared to move in re-
Spect to this yreat question ** ere long.” In |
the meantime the League and its branches have much to do towards the education of public opinion in Great Britain and the Colonies.
The Spanish Government will adopt sub-
marine torpedo vesvels for the navy. .
( The Oddfellows.
Wetcome ! thrice welcome to the Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd- fellows, whose annual session began i this
city to-day. From all parts of the Mari-
time Provinces are representatives of the mystic links, whuse chief aim 1s the dif-
| fusion of friendship, love and truth. As a charitable institution, this order, stands
perhaps, unequalled. :
In one year alone—that of 1887 —the total benefits paid on the Continent were over two and a half million dollars! Sure- ly every citizen will unite in wishing such a noble order God speed in its work.
We hope our visitors will enjoy their visit to the Island,, and that they will take away with them pleasant memories of their stay.

The Witness, of Montreal, says: ‘The offence committed by the United States against Great Britain in seizing the Black Diamond, and thieving her papers, seal- skins and hunting outfit, is not very differ- ent either in degree or in kind from that of Great Britain against the United States in 1812 in searching American ships for Brit- ish sailors, and for which the United States declared war.”
— Lignum vite has long been used on the stern tubes of steam vessels and for other bearings exposed to considerable pressure A Leipsic inventor, however, has recently brought forward a process for treating soit wood so asto render it effective for the various purposes for which lignum vite has hitherto been so exclusively employed. The soft wood is first impregnated with oul, after which it is subject to great pressure, increasing the density of the material to a very great degree.
—Mr. Hamilton McKinnon, who rejoices that he isa British-Indian-Australian, pos- sessing ‘* the healthy cross of Saxon and Celtic blood” in his veins, has written to Imperial Federation, to deprecate a atate- ment of Mr. Fritz Moore, of this city, re- speating the influence of republican insti- tutions upon the people of the United States. But the editor of Imperial Fede- ration comes to Mr. Moore's rescue, and says that ‘his language was that of a man irritated beyond endurance by the conduct of very many public men, and the tone of very many newspapers, in the United States.”
—The Canadian Pacific Railway has made another addition to the numerous de- partments already in existence for the pur- pose of conducting the great system. This time the departure tends to make the com- pany a huge news contractor, as the man- agement has decided to take into its hands and control the news supply for the trains. This will include all literature sold on the entire line; and will be governed, it is pre- sumed, from headquarters in Montrea! by the creation of a separate department for that purpose. The system has been in vogue on the western and remainder of the Pacitic divisions and ag it has worked with apparent satisfaction it is thoyght the ex- periment will be productive of equally favorably results on the system.
Cricket. H. M. 3. BELLEROPHON AND PYLADES VS. PARK CRICKET CLUB.
THis match was played yesterday after- noon. A large number of people was on hand to watch the play, but had to seek cover several times-‘from the showers.
The home team won the toss, and went to the bat. They were unfortunate and ail were out for 32 runs. The officers then took the bat, and put together 55 runs. The rain made the ball very slippery for the bowlers.
In the second innings the Park Club did better. Moore put together 18 by ones aud twos, and Geo. E. Robinson made a grand drive forsix. The officers took the bat again with only half an hour of time left, and 25 runs to make to win. This they succeeded in doing by free hitting and running sharply; and on drawing stumps at 6.30 they were victors by 6 runs and 6 wickets.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Reply to I Sanitas.”
Sin,—In your issue of yesterday, there appears a communication over the signa- ture of ‘‘Sanitas,” calling attention to what he is pleased to style the * disgracefully dirty state of the street in front of Coffin “ grocery shop, East Grafton Street. Now, whether the disgrace attaches to the city officials or myself is not very clear from ** Sanitas’'"S letter; but the fact that the gutter on Grafton Staeet 16 lower than the main drain on Hillsborough Street, its outlet, is, and has been for years, a stand- ing disgrace to those whose duty it was to have the matter remedied, but, that the street is otherwise ‘*disgracefully dirty, Ideny. True, there is a small covered drain leading from my kitchen sink to the gutter, but it only carries off the compar- atively clean waste water;—anything of an impure nature, such as washing and serub- bing, being disposed of in another way. Again, ** Sanitas’’ says the city men have emptied a lot of ashes to absorb (as he sup- poses) the filth from this pestiferous drain. This statement lacks the ‘* essential ele- ment” completely. Let ‘‘Sanitas” name if he dare or can the city man who placed one shovelful of ashes in that portion of the gutter, this summer. This is but another instance of ‘* false premises leading to er- roneous conclusions.” :
From the whole tenor of ** Sanitas’”’ let- ter, and the direct and personal attack it contains (although he admits this is only one of many such cases of nuisance in the city) I think justifies me in believing that the article was not written so much in the interests of the public health, as for the gratification of petty spite and personal ill will.
For the satisfaction of the public, whose health it seems I have unwittingly endan- gered; and especially to allay and quiet the fears and soohe and calia the excited nerves of ** Sanitas,” who seems to scent the deadly destroyer in every breeze, I would here state that I have been for some time weighing the pro and con of the sev- eral methods that have been called into ex- istence by the necessity of the case, ard expect, in a few days, to have in operation some method of carrying this waste water out of sight. Whether it will thea be less injurious to the public health is a question i leave with ** Sanitas,” in his wisdom, to deter-mine.
Yours truly, Wa. M. Corrin. Sa
Tuar distention of the stomach which many people feel after eating, may be due to im- proper mastication of the food; but, in moat cases, it indicates a weakness of the digestive organs, the best remedy for which is one of Ayer’s pills, to be taken after diuner.
