Chambertain on Commercial Union.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.

Sir Charles Tupper, Sir Lionel West and Mr. Chamberlain had an informal interview with Seeretary Bayard to-day, and ar- ranged for the Commission to meet on Mon- day next. In an interview this evening, Mr. Chamberlain stated that the scope of the instructions given the British Com-

all matters of dispute between the United States and Canada if the United. States tlenipotentiaries will agree to such being done. He mentioned the anxiety of Sir Charles Tupper to obtain a fair reciprocity of natural products similiar to that of the Treaty of 1818; but intimated that Commercial Union was neither feasible ner desirable, either to Canada or Great Britain He expressed the opinion that any such action on the partof any portion of the Empire would abrogate the treaties which at present exist between Great Britain and other nations, which have con- ceded to the most favored nation privileges to Great Britain and her dependencies.

As.the Czar and Prince William were driving ; through Koenigs Platz, a man threw a paper into thecarriage and caused intense excitement. The Czar took the paper without cpening it and put it under his cloak. The man who threw it was seized by the police.

‘* Lost in London” drew another big house for the above popular Company in the Lyceum last evening, and was very much enjoyed. Miss Grey gave « fine por- trayal of the repentant, remorseful wife,

and her audience were in full sympathy with*her. Mrs. Hillman, as the good-

natured ‘* Tillie,” gave a naturalness to the character which was very good ; Blanche Hillman’s ‘‘ Florence” was bright and lively ; Mr. Farish’s ‘* Gilbert” was excel- lent: Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Bedell were very diverting in the characters of ‘ Blinker” and Topps,” and Mr.. Paul Carroll deserves a word of praise for his “Jack Longbones.” Of Mr. Webber's “ Job Amroyd” we can only say that, he gave us quite a surprise, for we had not-the least idea he could give the pathos and quaint touches belonging to the rugged miner which he did, and we congratulate him on the distinct hit he fnade in the part, one of the best pieces of | acting he has ever Jone inthis city. The farce of the *‘ Secret,” taken part in by Miss Grey, Mrs. Hillman, Messrs. Bedell, Sullivan, Owen Carroll and Webber, produced roars of laughter, and made a satisfactory finish to one of the best performances Manager Webber’s company have given here.

To-night, for their last appearance, the drama of ‘*Ten Nights ina Bar Room” will be offered, and will doubtless draw a crowded house.

LETTERS TO THE EDITO dnd -~aienodl Football,

| Srm,-—-At the banquet at the Rankin Ifouse, on Thursday evening last, Capt. Weeks called the attention of those present to several defects in the present mode of playing football, the chief one being that the ball practically is out of play during the greater part of the game. This was the case inthe match of Thursday after- noon, when the ball was to all intents out of play, that is, it was in scrimmage, four- fifths of the time.

Now, if the number of forwards were re- duced from nine to say six, the difticulty would be to a great extent removed, for the ball, as experience has shown, would not then remain long in the serimimage. The three men taken from the forwards could be placed thus: -one As quarter, one as half, and ene as back; so that « team would have three quarters, four half-backs and two backs. These would not be found too }imany under the changed circumstances. The Rugby rules could then still be re- tained, and the game rendered much more

Arruur MELLISH,

Subterfuges.

Sir,—lI regret the advocates of the Scott Act, through the- press, on the _ plat- form and in their private canvass, have recourse to subterfuges scarcely worthy of the cause they expect to further. Is it too much to ask them tw be truthful in their statements and to be governed by principles of fairness when urging a fellow man to assist them in imposing a sump- tuary law upon his neighbors. The voter whe cannot see his way _ clear to. vote against the petition, they do not hesitate to denounce as 4 friend of drunkenness ; and he who openly differs from them, they de- nounce as a supporter of the devil's cause. When they cannot fairly convince, they endeavor to intimidate by unwarrantable assertions, sulphurous rhetoric, &c., &c. Nearly all who have recourse to such sub terfuges are deceivers, and many of those who follow and applaud. must be cowards. What man of character would be swayed from the path of duty by such silly dribble; besides, the question of drunkenness, the devil’s cause, &e., has nothing to do with the present contest. The question to be decided on the 24th is whether the Seott Act has had sufficient trial or not. I think every unprejudiced mind will admit that it has.

Yours, &c., Scorry. November 19, 1887.

An Historic Parallel.

Sir,—The Scott Act ean scareely be called a new measure. It was tried long ayo. As far back as the days of the Stuarts they had a Scott Act, and many of its provisjons were as ridiculous and absurd as those of our Act. People making use of taverns were fined, imprisoned and flogged. Spies and informers were then as now; perjury and malicious prosecution was as familiar to the people of England in the days of their Scott Act as it is to the citizens of Charlottetown in the present time. Yet the Scott Act of that time proved a total failure. As Mr. Harrop, in a lecture at Cambridge, England, avers, the effects of the Scott Act of that time being increase of drunkenness, multiplication of | illegal ale-houses, the degradation of the national character by evasion of the law, and lastly the abandonment of tavern-keeping to worthless characters, because respectable men would not submit to the risk of de- grading penalties. Act 1, Charles I. Cap. 3, proves the last fact stated by Mr. Har- rop—it prescribes the flogging of innkeep- ers because they were too poor to pay the tines. Anyone who has read Pike’s History of Crime, must have a lively recollection of the Scott Act in the days of the Stuarts—- its enactments, trial,and ignominious failure. He cannot but be struck with the similarity of the Scott Act under the Stuarts, and the Act of our time. Both Acts were enacted for the most laudable ends; both were given a fair trial by a courageous God-fearing people; and both have proved miserable failures.
