It is understood that the presence of Mr. Michse! Davitt in the United States will be altogether a personal matter, and not for the purpose of representing the National League. He will take an active part in the proceedings of the convention, but will adhere closely to his lecture pro- gramme, which includes addresses to the United Irish Societies of Chicago early in August. His tour will probably occupy four months.

Mr. Schrieber will use his influence with the Government fer the purpose of obtain- ing for the more deserving of the P. E. I. Railway officials an increase of pay. A little encouragement in this way would, we have no doubt, be appreciated, and there is ample room for it, asa very large discre- pancy still exists between the pay of em- ployes of the P. E. Island Railway and those of the same rank on the Intercolonial.

-While New South Wales and South Australia are complaining of hard times, Victoria, which has adopted a vigorous pro- tective policy, is experiencing a wonderful prosperity. The Melbourne Leader says : ‘during the last five years the number of factories has increased 30 per cent, and the number of hands employed, and the value of buildings and machinery, by 50 per cent. Thereare about 3,000 factories in the colony, turning out 120 different kinds of product ions, with “a capital of nearly £11,000,000, employing 50,000 hands, paying over £5,- 000,000 per annum in wages, and witha tetal output that Mr. Stuart describes as being really marvellous in so young a com- munity, viz. : £20,000,000 of manufactured goods, which is equivalent to the combined value of our agricultural, * pastoral and mining produce.”

Yankee “ Ingenuity ” Foiled.

THE NOVELTY ‘DISHED ”’ AGAIN,

THE CAPTAIN OF

A correspondent of the Halifax Herald, writing from the Magdalen Islands under date of July 26, says :—I witnessed last week an American scheme to obtain coal, which, if carried out, would have benefited the steamer Novelty, an American steamer employed in or about the Dominion fishing limits at the Magdalen Islands. The above seining steamer anchored off this island (Amherst) on the 24th July. Capt. H. A. Joyce landed and reported his vessel for the purpose of getting wood and water allowed by treaty. On the evening of the same day he entered Pleasant Bay and an- chored off the island abreast of the settle- ment, the master landing and crew inquir- ing for wood. Just about this time the schooner Reality, Miller, master, entered Amherst harbor, and as the master took his time to enter his vessel, Collector Pain- chaud sent an officer on board requesting the master to report, as next day would be Sunday. He reported at once at custom house, both captains being present, when Capt. Miller, of schooner Reality, entered 26 tons of coal consigned to himself. After some remarks by Capt. Miller, the collector fathomed the scheme and informed both ist they could not tranship coal from schr. Reality Novelty (Ameri-

captains -oal not being wood (Domimen) to steamer can). The collector informed them that they violate the treaty in that manner in this port and threat- ened to seize both if the intended scheme was carried out. Finding rhat American ingenuity would not work with an official like Collector Painchaud, the American captain left the bay instantly, the schr. Reality remaining in port and cleared for Tignish, P.E.I. the next day (25th Sun- day), Vapt. Miller swearing somebody would have to pay him his freight on his coal—not landed here. Capt. Joyce was refused coal in Pictou, and thought to prac- tice the scheme here. abusing the privileges granted Americans by treaty, and a pre- concerted plan was arrived at as above, and hence tie rendezvous here to get coal i enable tre fishing steamer to carry on fish- ims about the Magdalen Islands.

Sir John A. Macdonald,

The Regina Leader says: The most inter- esting event in the history of the Northwest took place on Saturday-—Sir John Mac- acai visit to Regina. It was not merely that we were welcoming a great man—the greatest of Canadians, one of the few really great men in the world to-day—as Lord Carnarvon recognized him some decade or more ef years since. We were welcoming a man peculiarly near and dear to Canada, the father of Confederation and the creator of the Northwest as a political entity. The builder of the Pacific Railway was before us. [tis over forty years since he entered public life. He found Canada small, a couple of provinces; he has made her a great country, taking rank among the nations of the earth. He is now an old man, full of honors. He can no longer bear the same fatigue as when in the prime of his laborious life, but his eye is not dim, nor his genius dulled, nor the inherent foree by which a great man always sways the minds of others abated. Everything loyal and generous in the heart, the admira- tion for mere staying power even, gratitude for great services, the liking begot by genial humor, all found expression on Saturday in the manner of Sir John’s reception.

Mr. Devine, F.R.G.S., in describing his

map of the Northwest Territory, construct- ed by him in 1856 for the government, states ‘‘that the governor-general, Sir Edmund Head, and his executive council, who were then pressing the claims of Cana- da on the attention of the Imperial authori- ties in reference to the government of that territory,have all passed away except the premier of the Dominion, the Hon. Sir John A. Macdonald, who still survives, and can boast that after much deubt, difficulty and disappointment, he has seen the com- pletion of the Canada Pacific railway pass- ing through that territory, one of the great- est works of the present age, carried out by the energy and perseverance of those en- trusted with its construction, aided by the consummate skill of competent engineers ; that he has also seen representative and municipal government established in the territory, and that we will soon see Canada brought into direct communication with Australia, India, China and Japan, when we shal] see the rich products of these countries brought to our doors, and mer- chants from afar step out of strange ships and hail the shores of Canada as a land of civilization, progress and freedom.” Sir John and Lady Macdonald dined on the 29th inst. with Admiral Sir Michael Culme Seymour, on board the flagship Triumph. The shipping in the harbor was gaily decorated in honor of Sir John. San- ford Fleming has cabled from London con- gratulations to Lady Macdonald on her exploit in riding through the British Colum- bia mountains and river canyons on the front part of the locomotive. Her act has been received in London as the best evi- dence of the solid and substantial character of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It also dissipates the rumors spread by opponents of the insecurity of the road as a channel for travel.

British Politics and Politicians.

THE NATIONALISTS UNDAUNTED.

Ata meeting of the National League, held in Dublin on the 27th, Joseph Biggar, M. P., made a speech, in which he said there was no reason to feel despondent over anything the Conservatives might attempt. The Parnellites had already unmade two governments, and it was not unlikely they would unmake athird. He hoped that in any case they would never assist Chamberlain, whom he characterized as the most dishonest politician of the age. John Dillon also addressed the meeting. He said that if coercion should be intro- duced in Ireland the landlords would have the most cause to regret its introduction. If home rule were offered, Ireland would accept the boon, remembering, however, that it was Gladstone who first offered it.

THE RESULT IN SCOTLAND,

The Edinburgh oorrespmndent of the London Times, writing on July 11, says :— ‘In the constituencies polled m Scotland at this date, the number of votes given is 297,685. In the same constituencies at the last general election in 1885, the number of votes given was 345,353. The shortcoming is 47,668, or nearly 14 per cent.—too large a reduction to be accounted for merely by the waste of the registers. A comparison of the party votes in Scotland in both elections yields interesting results. In 1886 the Ministerialist vote was 161,512 and the Liberal-Unionist and Conservatives 136,173, the Ministerial majority being 25,339. In 1885 the Liberal vote was 223,582 and the Conservative 121,771, making the Liberal majority 101,811. It thus appears that while the Liberal vote in passing to the Ministerialists has been diminished by 62,000, the Conservative vote has been in- creased by only 14,400. From this it must be inferred that a very large number of Liberals have stayed away from the polls.”

A DECIDED CHANGE,

The House of Commons, on account of the peculiar balance of parties, the unheal- thy umpatience of a great Minister of State, and the inexperience and impulsiveness of a large section of his followers, was largely under the dominion of Mr. Parnell, and Mr. Parnell was under the dominion of the National League, of American subscri- bers, and tle Roman Catholic Hierarchy in Ireland. The Government acted as if it were their duty and their privilege to do the bidding of the automatically-directed

lrish party. Now all is changed ; the spell is broken. Mr. Parnell has no longer a

directing hand in guiding the ship of State. He and his party will now find their right- ful position, and only speak with the authority to which their numbers and ability entitle them. They will be a pow- erful section, but not an _ all-powerful section of the House. They will be at liberty to use’ all legitimate weapons of political warfare, and to form what com- binations they can to secure their ends. The vantage ground they oceupied has been in lair const ‘utional manner taken from them, and the party that was only too will- ing to surrender to their assaults will have to go into Opposition sadder and we hope wiser men. The nation has passed through a trying crisis, and thanks to Unionists of both parties, in and out of Parliament, it is likely Wo be stronger on account of the difti- culty it has conquered,— Lintién Echd

Sim.--Marshal Flynn has received a letter from a detective in Charleston, Va., in reference to a thief named J. Oakely Crawford, who is ‘‘wanted.”” The com- munity, especially of the detective sort, are on the qui vive looking out for Mr. Cawford and are not likely te find him much, be- cause :

lst. While he is about 47 years of age (just my age), he being a confidence man, will easily be adjudged as sixty. _ :

2nd. By wearing moccasins he will be 5 feet 6 inches, or with a good extra lift on his heel, be five feet 8 inches instead of 5 feet 7 inches, as described.

3rd. Looking for a man of 140 Ibs., you would—or most men,especially detectives- would be guided by appearances;our friend, J. Oakley C., has no doubt ere this wrap- ped himself in some additional swadlings and at this moment more nearly resembles our good Commodore Capt. Duncan MacR., or possibly the veritable Editor of the Herald himself,

4th. His ‘‘good sized mustache” need not encumber him or endanger his liberty while Power, our popular barber, can not only remove the hair from the upper lip, but by a single application of the modern ‘*Mower,” canremove every suspicion of his being the ‘tman who never wore his hair short.”

Sth. A pair of blue glass spectacles (he need not steal them) would fully disguise his steel blue eyes, at the same time mak- ing them not so ‘‘expressive” as Marshall Flynn’s correspondent describes them.

6th. His ‘‘neat perfect set of teeth” he can easily put out of sight by chewing, not Hickey’s, but some of the common black tobacco sold in town; while his ‘‘neat fitting clothes” might readily be exchanged for others not so neat nor so fitting; suppose he swapped, exchanged or bartered for some of the not so neat fitting garments of, say one of our Senators for instance,those would suit him more much/ly than neatly.

7th. He isa graduate of a law schoo). There is no distinguishing mark about that. Is a fluent, pleasant talker. So is Laird of the Patriot. Is thoroughly posted in poli- tics. So is Joe Hogan. Made Republican speeches in New York. Farquharson, Davies & Co. have often made them here. He claims special intimacy with public men. So with Mick Began, Terry McAtee, ete. Nothing in these, any of them, to help Flynn, Curtis & Co.

Now, sir, from what I have written you |

must see that very much more has been left unsaid. With deference to you, and to the very limited space at your disposal, I conclude, simply remarking that if | were J. Oakley Crawford I should be very glad of the assistance in eluding the police afforded me by the publication of the letter to the marshal. Yours, &c., ANOTHER FUGITivE FROM JUSTICE.

The Normal School,

Sir,—A large number of applications for admission to the Normal School have been received from all parts of the Island. The institution is maintained by the Govern- ment, and every man’s child has an equal right to admission, if qualified. Now, supposing the whole number of applicants to be qualified, there is certainly not room enough for all under the present arrange-

ments. The amount of knowledge pre- seribed it not difficult of attainment, and many must be exeluded, not from in-

competency, but for want of accommoda- tion.

In regard to the system by which the favored are to be chosen, no objections can be offered if the questions are atest of what the candidates know,and not,as is too often the case, a test of what they do not know. Puzzles and catch questions should be severely excluded, and the examination held on a fair and equal basis satisfactory to all. Ex.

Who is the Champion?

Sir,—I saw a notice in the Patriot of the 27th, saying that there was to be a race on the 3rd of August, between a bicyclist and our champion roller skater. Will the editor of the Patriot please explain who this champion is that he has reference to. A. Newson is the only person having any claim whatever to the championship, both by his time and performances, he having re- peatedly beaten all competitors since the last of October, and making a record of lim. 45s., which is lm. 15s. better than any other Island skater, I think he is the only person having any claim to the so- called championship.

French-Canadians in the Republic.

The Boston Herald comments on a change that it states has been noted in the character of the French-Canadian immigra- tion into New England of late years. It is claimed that this is assuming anew phase, that whereas formerly, young men came and after a few years hard work returned to their native province and then settled down for the balance of their lives, now, however, they come to stay, bringing their families with them and becoming citizens of the republic, their children attending the public schools and growing up as Ameri- cans. The effect of this infusion of new blood is speculated on, how far the New England type will be affected, and how it will impress its characteristics upon the new comers, who are now in many places in such numbers as to give a ground for those theorizings, which are given a wider basis from the fact that whereas the native New. England population increases at a slow natural rate, the Canadians take with them to their new homes the propensity of beget- ting large families that has so often been commented upon at home.

THe general verdict of the smokers of the Myrtle Navy is that itis the finest tobacco they have ever used. ‘Lhere can be no mis-

tangible evidence. The large demand for this tobacco shows it to be true, and the character of the demand gives further proof. It has never been of the spasmodic kind, up one inonth and down the next. It has been a sus tained and constantly increasing demand.

The “Times ” on the Fisheries.

Lonpon, July 30.

The Times referring to the fishery ques- tion as between the United States and Canada, says that as a last resort the con- troversy can be solved by means of arbitra- tion or a treaty. The Canadians have already shown that they are willing to sur- render the principle of exclusion from their fisheries, in return for tariff concessions on the part of the United States; and the New England fishing interest might well be asked to pay for these privileges, which they are claiming asa right, by allowing Canadian fish and fish oil to cross their border duty free.
