Aid for Railways.
, 7 In the course of a speech respecting rau
ways, delivered in Parliament on.the 18th
inst., Sir John Macdonald said
I feel very stronely on this matter, that we must adhere tothe prin« ple adopted by hon, gen tlemen opposite thet powerand carried out by us in the same spirit, the patriotic spirit of mak ing this railway the greatest chanel for the track of the whole of Canada, not of any section of it o1 of ony locality, but of the Dominion as a whole. Now the road helps British Columbia, the great North-West and Manitob it helps all the Pro vinces; anc weare now rapidly bringing in the little Island of Prin Kdward, which might hav: seemed to be cut off from the advantages of the reilway. Weare even bringing in that [sland by our legislation&nd subsidy to have a direct inter est in the trade of the Canadian Pacific Railways like the larger and older continental Provinces. ;

The Queen, God Bless Her!
YESTERDAY was celebrated throughout that Empire “upon which the sun never sets,” as the anniversary of the birth of our Most Gracious Sovereign Lady, Queen Victoria. Born in 1819, Her Majesty has thus completed her 67th year. She succeed- ed to the throne in 1837 and on the 20th June next will begin the 50th year of her reign. Another year will complete Her Majesty’s half century of rule and the celebration of her jubilee is already looked
forward to and being prepared for as al event of more than ordinary interest. Her Majesty was married in 1840 to His late Royal Highness Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg Gotha, by whom she fiad nine chil- dren, seven of w hom still live. Her father, the Duke of Kent, died when she was an infant; her mother, the Duchess of Kent, died in March, 1861, and the sudden death of the Prince Consort in December of the same year caused great grief throughout the empire, and were to the Queen irrepar- able losses and causes of the most intense sorrow. Since that time Her Majesty has lived in great seclusion—almost the life of » recluse—and it is but lately that, in de- ference to the wishes of her people, she has begun to appear inoflicial and take an active part in those public duties which she has hitherto delegated to others, notably a. 2b H. the Prince of Wales.

2. Whether any ap; lication has been made by
or on behalf of the Government of Prince Edward island for any payment to that Province of the sum of $125,000, or any othersum beyond those already paid to that Province ? : _ 3. If any such application has been made, what is the nature of the claim, and is it the intention of the Government to accede to it in whole or in part?
4. Has the claim of the Island Government in respect to a refund for moneys expended on Wharves and Piers been finally settled, or is the Same still standing open and unsettled ?

The Opinion in Quebec.

tions passed by the Nova Scotian Govern- ment and the pending election. the Quebec ** The

**Chronicle” says : question of Government's platform, and there is some possibility of the measure being carried at the polls, because the Nova Scotians have never really given their adhesion to the Confederation as a people. Bat beyond securing an expression of opinion by means of the ballot-box, nothing will come out of the agitation. The Imperial Government cannot allow Nova Scotia to secede. Some years ago it might have been possible for Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island to form a Maritime Legisla- tive Union, but the larger federation took the place of this, and the dissatisfied Pro- vince, for reasons of State, will have to re- main a part of the Dominion. But while a portion of the Province wants to withdraw from Canada, Cape Breton talks of severing her connection with Nova Scotia, and in- sists on being created a separate province, holding, of course, her allegiance to the central authority at Ottawa. This action would complicate matters if there were any- thing in the movement worthy of consider-
ation.”

The Fisheries Matter.
The N. Y. Post has the following spe- cial from Washington :—An officer of the State Department, authorized and compe- tent to speak upon the subject, referring to the statement published in the New York Herald, that the British Minister had noti fied our Government that Great Britain would permit American fishermen to buy bait in such Canadian ports as they may i please, said to-day : **There is no authority for any such statement, and there is no foundation for it.

Obituary.
Ir is with much regret that we record to- day the death of Miss Cundall of this city, sister of the late Wm. Cundall, Esq., and of the wife of Hon. Senator Montgomery, of Park Corner. She was the daughter of the late Robt. Wm. Cundall, Esq., was bornat Richmond, Surrey, England, in 18138, and removed with her father to this Island in 1827. Miss Cundall was most exemplary in every walk of life. She was one of the oldest and most valued members of St. Paul’s Church,, and was for over thirty years a Sunday School ‘Teacher. Her death was very peaceful. Surrounded by friends, without a struggle, she passed calmly away into her Redeemer’s rest.

The 24th at Pictou.
ISLANDERS VICTORIOUS.
About two hundred and fifty people of all ages and professions gathered on the deck of the S. S. Prircess of Wales at 7 a. m. yesterday, for the excursion to Pictou. Everyone was in the best of spirits, but among the football team and their friends there was an evident air of anxiety, which, as the port of Pictou was neared, seemed slightly to give place to a grim determina- tion to do or die in the match to which they looked forward.
As the Princess of Wales came opposite the battery in Pictou harbor, a royal salute was fired, but whether in honor of her for whom the day was observed as a_ holiday. or of those who honored Pictou with their presence on that day did not manifestly Most probably it was on account
of the former.
ippear.
Pictou wore a lively appearance yester- day. A boat race between a Pictou Island crew and a Pictou crew resulted in a victory for the former, This race, with the foot- ball match and a trot, attracted large num- vers. What was of most interest to Char- lottetonians was the football match. The following gentlemen composed the Char- lottetown team :—D. H. Robinson, back ; G. E. Robinson (captain), W. A. Weeks, Percy Macdonald, half-backs ; C. Kennedy, H. Shaw, quarter-backs ; D. Cameron, D. McDonald, A¢neas Macdonald, F. J. Stew- art, A. H. McNeill, J. A. Whear. G. Gor- don, T. Lee, F. Moore, forwards. Those whe judged fromappearances prophesied an easy victory for the Pictou team, as it was mainly composed of heavy men in the prime of life. These were placed among the forwards, and were expected to carry everything before them. Some one caleu- lated the average weight of the island team, and found it to be about 153 lbs., while the Pictou team would average at least 175 lbs. The Pictou men won the choice of goals. The ball was kicked off by Weeks, who sent it well down to the Pictou goal, where it was promptly followed by the forwards, and a lively scrimmage then followed within fifteen yards of the Pictou goal, There the ball remained in a succession of scrimmages for fully twelve minutes, when Kennedy got hold of the ball and touched it down. This would entitle the side touching the bali down toatry for a goal, ensuring four points and a chance for eight points if they succeeded in kicking the bail over. The Pictou men, however, claimed a foul on the ground that the ball had been picked out of the scrimmage. ‘The umpires were divided and the referee decided that it was a foul. In the course of the play that followed, the Pictou men were compelled to rouge the ball four times. When half time was nearly called, Cameron touched the ball down; but a foul was again claimed and decided as in Kennedy’s case. After an intermission of ten minutes, play was started wjth renewed vigor, it soon became evident that the Pictou men kept the ball in scrimmage to kill time. The Pictou team were in this half compelled to rouge the ball three times. Within ten minutes of time being called Moore secured a touch, about which there was no dispute. This was the only advantage, technically,, gained by either side, as it was agreed that rouges were not to count. Thus the Island team gained by four points. If rouges had been counted the result would be, Charlottetown team, 11 points, Pictou team, 0. The playing otf Kennedy and Shaw was particularly good. At the close three hearty cheers and a ‘‘tiger”” were given by each team for the other, and disputes were ended, tho Pictonians acknowledged t#em- selves fairly defeated, and after an enjoy- able return trip, the Charlottetown wharf was reached at 9 a. m.
