NOTES AND COMMENTS.
f —Itis stated that Mr. Joseph Martin is tobe made Chief Justiceof British Col- umbia. Thies“ deal ” will, it is expected, relieve the situation, by uniting the Lib-
PLACES AND PEOPLE.
The couatry is not a veritable cure-all, but it cannot fail of having some good ef- fect upon the inveterate siuggard. What with ine busy labours ot Guman life, the maay mingliog sounds of tbe lower crea- tion, and the persistent efforts of the morning rays to peep in at some corner of the window blind, then streak boldly across Our chamber and dance thei? merry measures On the wall opposite, one would feel very obtuse indeed if he did not teke the bint ani get out of his sleeping quarters.
Learning that Confirmation services were to b> held in the church on Montague Kocd, Rev. James Phelan, éarly morning eaw usup andon our way thither. The san never shone ona prettier sight than on those groups of interesting looking children who weoded their way up the billside to their place before the altar in the church of their fathers.
There are some whe set much by the “beauty of holiness” and others by ¢ 1e entire absence of effect; as for us, believing that “God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and io truth, ” outward guise matters litile. The Bishop in his golden-decked robes and the silvery-haired priest in his simple white, were alike humble servants—and felt honored in being so—of Him who, reigu- ing among the hosts of Heaven was once “the despised and rejected of men.”
A youtorul priest, Father Monaghan, preached a most appropriate sermon, of which wecarried away the words “faith alone will not save you.” Calviniets are gaid to depend merely upon faith; Armen- ians upon works. For the first, “faith without good works is dead;” and for the second “he that believeth not,” however conformable his life, “shall be damned.” His Lordship shortly counselled the young communicants against the evils that
eralsunder Mr. Semlin’s leadership, and enabling Mr.Semlin to forma govern- mnent.
— Judge Day has gone ont of and Colonel Hay has gone into President McKinley’s Cabinet. The former is to be a Commis-< sioner to arrange (erms of peace with Spain. Tbe latter will be Secretary of State in
dudge Day’s pla e. Col, Hay "9 sugeessor fe Minister to Great Britain, has not yet becn named.
—It is likely that last year’s deficit op account ofthe Intercclonial will prove to be a quarter of a willien dollar, (250,000) The increased deficit is largely due to the operation of the extension into Mon- treal, which has not so far furnished bus- iness commensurate with the outlay.
—It is stated at Moncton that the inter- colonial Railway department is now in- viting tenders for the construction of 400 new 69 ton freigh: cars—the cost of which will be charged to capital account. It is also alleged that the expenses have been unduly relieved and the capital account duly swelled by the ‘uclusion of expenses which have heretofore been met by revenue,

mcurning when they announced the ierma of peace with the United States and

— Russia too may have internal troubles en her bands in the event of war, it 18 ‘siated, on what seems to be unquestion- authority that the Russian Ministers of War and Interior ndmit that Poland is as menacing to Ruseia today as she was in 1863, and that a Polish insurrection would be supported more unaminously by Poles now than at the last rising, while there is
no evident way of winning the peasants back,” —Sir James Winter reports that his

THE NEW DIGGINGS
Gold Productions at Pine Creek.
Juneav, Avaska, Angust 10. via Seattle, Wash August 15,—What is regard- ed as an important discovery of rich placer diggicgs is reported to have been made on Pise Creek, a e#mal! etream emp'ying into Atlin Tagish. The discovery is located in the Canadian Northwest. The news caused a great stampede from Juneau and other south eastern Alaska pointe, and it is estimated that at least 106,900 prospectors have started for the locality. As reposted here the find was wade two years ago by George Miller, of this city” about the time Klondike was made known.
Miller allowed bis discovery to remain dormant and went tothe Klondike. Last June he returned and taking a few friends _ioto his confidence revisited the piace and staked out claims,
Walker Carter,who has just returned from the diggings, says :—“l saw four men shovel in twentyssix ounces in two days, o e pan from bed rock containing four dollars. This was on discovery claim. Pine Creek is about 15 miles long and wil! average 75 feet in width. The current is very rapid. The diggings are what is kaown as bar diggings or summer placer. Discovery claim 1s about 8 miles trom the mouth of the creek. The bed rock is only five feet from the surface and is of slate formation. Miller bas five men at work shovelling into sluice boxes and he pays $12 a day each, settling every night with dust taken from the boxes.

Mr. Russell, law agent in England of the Laurier administration—the writer of the famous letter to Rome—is at present visiting Canada.

As the St, Joon Sun remarks, “the Premierbas to keep up the game of persuading the Protestants that he has prevented a surrender to Rome, and of convincing the Vatican that he is making concessions to the Roman Catholic church which the late goveroment refused, This requires continual bargaining with Green-

SITUATION AT SANTIAGO.
A soldier in the American army at Santiago writes as follows toa St. John frieod ;
‘Ic is almost impossible to get writing materisis in the field. Tbe roads are eo bad and transportation so uncertain that sometimes we did not get half enough to eat. Since we came into Santiago we are better off aud have a chance to recuperate. Nearly every man inthis regiment is sick, but now we hope they will soon get over their chills aud fever. The only fight we had was on the let. of July, when we captured Fort San Juan. The fight last- ed three days, soni a hot time it was. People who want war can have it; they can also have my share of it, too. The more we see of the Cubans the strong- er disiike we have for them. They are a lazy, shiftless, good-for-nothing lot. Altho’ they gowith ecarcely any clothing op, they etolea great quantity from us, whicb we had to abandon for a time dur- ing the fight. Here in Santiago we are feeding the Spaniards and Cubans, but when we try to hire them to belp unload the boats, itis no go. They simply will not work, [ don’t think the Cucans can run this island themeelves ant it is likely the U. S. will keep troops down here for for two years any way, But I am _ not anxious to stay. The Spanish sailors all look inalf starved, but they are a beter lot than the Cubans, the majority of whom are neyroes.
