The Premier Arrives.

AUGUST 24, 1891.

Notes and Comments.

—QOur good-for-nothing Government has

a idl

It is the Other Ox Now. (Philadelphia Record. )

The authorities of Maine have given a practical illustration of what they mean by the three-mile limit when applied to the fisheries. In order to keep intruders off | their fishing grounds they have drawn an | imaginery line from headland to headland, instead of fullowing the irregular formation of the coast. It will be remembered that this method of fixing the three-mile limit by Canada is what excited so much hostility on the part of the Maine fishermen when the rejected Bayard-Chamberlain treaty was under consideration in the United States’ Senate. The Maine fishermen find no difficulty in applying to others a rule which they found extremely inconvenient and embarrassing when applied to them- selves.

Tue Easterti Steamship Company’s new steamer Premier arrived here on Saturday evening from Halifax via intermediate ports, and is now lying at Connolly’s wharf. Yesterday and to-day # great many per sons visited and inspected her. All agree with Capt. Allen, the experienced skipper who brought her out from Ayr, that **she’s a little beauty and bound to become a fa- vorite with the travelling pubiic.”

The Premier has a beatifully-fitted-up saloon capable of seating twenty persons, which is tinished in English black walnut, bird’s-eye maple and cardinal plush. Open- ing off are eleven staterooms, each six teet square, finished in cypress wood and fitred with the best of bedding and linen. The rooms are fitted with two berths, but if unly one is required the upper one folds up to the wall, similyr to the Pullman car berths. A commodious and nicely-fitted ladies’ cabin is situated at the after end of the saloon, on the starboard side. It con- tains four berths, wash-room, etc , and is an excellent room for a family to occupy. There is also a cosy smoking and card room aft. The steering gear, windiasses, etc., are of the latest and most approved description. The Premier is 374 tons gross and 187 net, with compound engines. Captain Kelly, well and favorably known in connection with the Princess Beatrice, is in command of the Premier, and Mr. Fullerton, who was chief engineer on the same steamer, occupies a similar position on the Premier. Mr, S. C. Cameron is the purser.

The steamer had a general cargo for all ports, and some twenty-eight passengers, including Mr. Arthur Whitman, President of the Company, and Mr. Joseph Wood, the Company’s manager at Halifax. She will sail on return this afternoon with a good general cargo, a much larger one than was expected on her first trip. A reception was held on board this afternoon at three o'clock.

The Premier gave a splendid account of herself on the trip up. She made the trip from Hawkesbury to Summerside on Fri- day night in something less than eleven hours in the teeth of the heavy gale pre- vailing. She made the run from Summer- side to Charlottetown on Saturday evening in four hours and three minutes.

THe ExaMINER wishes the Premier and her popular cfticers a pleasant and prosper- ous season.

THE PACAUD-MERCIER STEAL. @®pinions of the Press.

(Toronto Globe.)

Some of Mr. Mercier’s friends recom- mend that he should summon the Quebec Legislature at once and appoint an im- partial tribunal to examine into the whole story of the disposition of the Provincial subsidy. He is bound for his own sake to do something, and that speedily, for the charge is one of the most serious that could hang over the head of a man in his positivn.

(The Empire. )

The case has been that of common theft on an enormous scale, and there is no reason why the fate that overtakes ordinary criminals guilty of similar practices should not overtake Premier Mercier and his associates. A strong case is now made out, and though it is impossible to sup- pose that the testimony can be broken down by any evidence that may be forth- coming, ihe public wil! look with interest to see what the accused will have to say in their own defence.

(Empire Correspondence.)

This $5,000 draft to Premier Mercier was a part of the $20,000 note paid out of the $100,000 letter of credit, paid out of the $280,000 of Baie des Chaleurs railway sub- sidy, paid out of the Dominion subsidy to that railway.

Another Mysterious Death

AT CAMPBELTON—AN I. C. R. PASSENGER DISAPPEARS—-PROBABLY AN ISLANDER,

(Special despatch to the Halifax Herald.)

Moncton, Aug. 21.—The body of an un- known man was found in the siver, 11 or 12 miles below Campbellton, on. Wednesday. It had evidently been in the water a week or more. The body was well dressed, but no money being found on the person leads to suspicion of foul play. In one of the pockets was a ticket from Oh:cago to Point du Chene and a baggage check which arriv- ed at Point du Chene on the 8th inst. This trunk was brought to Moncton, by the intercolonial authorities and when opened found to be filled with clothing of a very superior quality, but no sign of money ex- cept a $5 American counterfeit. The clothing was stamped with the name of James Shaw and in the trunk was found a letter addressed “James Shaw, LaGrange Cook county, Illinois,” from his sister at Manitou Spring, Colorado, dated last De- cember, and advising him az the oldest member of the family to go on q visit % = mother ip Prince Edward \sland— place not mentioned—ag ah > old and they had been ee ; ae years.
