MARIT!ME BOARD OF TRADE.

A large and varied bill of fare has been provided for the meeting of the Maritime Board of Trade whica begins here to- morrow evening. We quote :

1. Discriminating duty of 10 per cent. levied or claimed on goods imported threugh Canada into the United States.

2. The adoption of a standard form of Fire Insurance Policy. :

3. The law effecting the weight of goods canned and in packages,

4. The introduction of shorter terms of eredit.

5. The need of a second winter steamer between P. E. Island and the Mainland,

6. Telegraph communication between P. E. Istand and the Mainland.

7. Unfinished business Jaid over from 1896.

8. The formation of a Dominion Board of Trade.

9. The Tariff question,—the duty on eornmeal, shali it be reduced?

10. Resolution from Winnipeg Board of Trade relative to reduction of postage to 2 eentson letters wailed in Canaua tor Canada, United States and Newfoundland.

It. Inspecting of fish and fish oils, asking the Government to make the Act compulsory, a3 it is Bow optional. These articles are often below the requirements of the Act and result in a serious loss to shippers.

12. Iron shipbuilding in the Maritime Provinces.

This, it appears, is only a partial list of the subjects to be discussed. If justice is to. be due toall, members of the - Board will have to work hard and keep at it.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

—Fifteen Klondyke companies have been organized in London, and over a score in the United States. The Montreal Gazette remarks that each one should have a ccmmissariat department, so that supplies of tood and fuel would be assured, hat it is to be feared that this essential ig. being overlooked.

—As explaining the wide knowledge of passing events in all parts of the world with which the Pope astonished Sir Wilfrid Laurier at their recent interview, it is stated that the first thing done by His Holiness every morning is to listen to a eareful resume of the previous day’s events. This is prepared for him by Vatican officials, whose special duty it is,and who work a’ the task summarizing newspapers telegranss and letters fron. mMnight until the pope is already to receive their reports. This general outlook over the world, a Roman correspondent says, is shortly afterward completed by a visit from Car- dinal Rampolla, with whom the Pope dis- cusses the most important affairs. After a ipugal breakfast, His Holiness descends to the garden, and is driven to the tuwer of Leo. 1V.,escorted only by a member of the Noble Guard, with whom he converses about the doings and gossip of the town. If nothing of great importance has oceurr- ed, he is not disturbed again with politics wotilthe next morning. It is asserted that the Pope’s attention at present is again directed towards tne subject of in- ternational arbritration, of which he is such a staunch advocate, and which he considers a principal peculiarly appertain- ‘ug to the domain of the Paracy. He says the duty of the head of Catholiciem is to work for the establishment of permanent peace among all nations.

A GOLDEN WEDDING.

THE NEWEST PROJECT,

The distance between Coieau and Ste Rosalie by the Tarte route, only partially constructed, 1s therefore almost a_ third longer than by the route along constructed lines. Mr. Tarte is not an urwise man. He bas a purpose in view. If the public knew who was interested in the lines he prvposes to annex tothe Intercolonial it might make a guess at the purpose. Meap- time its is plain that it is pot the purpose of the scheme to serve the public.

On the subj-ct ot the Dominion finances the St. John, N.
