Risks Taken on Most Favorable Terms.

The China Trade.

Mr. Van-Horne. the general manager of the Canada Pacific Railway, has recently been on a visit to British Columbia, and while there was ‘‘interviewed” by the ubi- quitions newspaper reporter, about the plans and prospects of hiscompany. Among other things, he told the reporter that the whole road from Montreal to Port Moody would be finished and in operation in six- teen months, or in December of next year. He further said :—

**As soon asthe road was finished the ‘company intended to prt on steamers be- tween China, Japan and elsewhere. They ‘expected todo an immense business, be- “cause they could carry at less cost thas any other transcontinental road. The trade of this country, he said, wou'd be enormous, ‘and it was quite probable the company ‘would require the whole of Burrard I[clet. People cannot seem to have any proper conception of the amount of room that would be needed at the terminus, At Winnipeg they had twenty-one miles of side track, and 300 acres of ground for their works, and at Fort William and Port Arthur they had six miles of wharves; but far more than this would be required at the (Pacific) terminus.

Commenting on this statement a contem- porary points out that the distance trom Liverpool, G. B., to Yokohama, Japan, via Montreal and ©. P. R. will be over two ‘thousand miles shorter than by via New -York and San Francisco! With such an advantage in its favor Mr. Van Horne may well speak in confident terms of the future business of his road. It will not be many years before the major portion of European |trade with China and Japan will pass over Canadian soil from the Atlantic to the | Pacific, So much for the wisdom of an all- Canadian line !— Halifar Herald.

From a Baliff to an Earl.

| From the Otago (New Zealand) Times. |

The topic of conversation in Oamaru has | been the discovery that a gentleman who {has had many ups and downs in the dis- trict, and who lately earned a living by acting as assistant baliff to the resident ,magistrate’s court, bids fair to end as the leccupant of an earldom, with an annual income of £70,000 (sic). The gentleman referred tois Mr. F. W. O. Grant, whose father, Hon, James Ogilvie Grant, has just succveded to the title and estates of the earl of Seatield, consequent upon the death | of his nephew, the late earl, without issue.

Mr. Grant—who now becomes Lord Reid- j haven, and the direct heir to the earldom own long been a resident in the district, : ‘and has filled a variety of positions, from

‘commission agent duwn to laborer. When \the news arrived of the death of his cousin, an eveng which gave him a title and a com.

petency, he was, and is still, the ‘‘man in possession” at a farmer’s homestead in the district, a duty from which he stoutly re- fuses to be relieved, so that the unfurtun- ate farmer has the satisfaction of knowing that, under compulsion, he is entertaining a lord and a prospective member of the British house of peers. Tue present earl of 'Seafield is in his 67th year, so that the Oamaru assistant baliff will in all likelihvod be the ninth to bear the title conferred by /Wilbam LIL’ He is married to a daughter of Maj. Evans, of Oamaru, and has a family.

Sir William Thompson.

A New York Herald reporter has been interviewing Sir Wiiliam Thompson, the celebrated English electrician. We quotea couple of paragraphs:—

‘*How long do you intend to remain here, Sir William?’

‘‘Until November. I go to Montreal at the clese of this month, to preside over the mathematical section of the British Asso- ciation. My main duties will be to intro- duce Lord Rayleigh, who has been appoint- ed president of the association, and to deliver an address entitled ‘Step Toward a Kinetic Theory of Matter.’ The choice of Lord Rayleigh as president is very signi- ficant, as he is by far the ablest mathema- tician in England. By a ‘kinetic theory of matter’ I mean a theory which maintains that all the properties of matter ave merely attributes of motion. After leaving Mount- real 1 gv to Johns Hopkins University to deliver a course of lectures on higher physicial mathematics. After that 1 keep a few other engagements and return home in November, to resume work at the University of Glasgow.”

Lord Wolseley’s Estimate of Gen. Lee. Following is the letter that Lord

Wolseley, of the British army, wrote to a lady in Mobile, about which there has been so much talk, both in America and Eng- land: —‘‘I have only known two heroes in my life, and Gen. R. E. Lee is one of them, so you can well understand how [ value one of his letters. I believe that when time has calmed down the angry passions of the **North,” Geo. Lee will be accepted in the United Staves as the greatest general you ever had, and second as a patriot only te Washington humself. Stonewall Jackson I only knew slightly; his name will live forever slso in American history when that ot Mr. U. S. Grant has been Jong for- gotten; such at least is my humble opinion of these men when viewed by an outside student of military hiswry who has no local prejudice.”

The Franco-Chinese War.

In the bombardment near Quantas, «n the 23rd instant, the French had ewht heavily armed ships, namely, the Valta, Dugay, Treonin, Delaining, Aspic, Viper, Loux avd Villars. Several Chinese gun- boats maintained bravely their fire for about a quarter of an hour, when the suar- vivors of their crews leaped overboard. The combat was practically finished in seven minutes. The superior French artil- lery made the contest, after disabling the Chinese vessels, no fight. It was a massacre. This is the opinion of every spectator. Two eighteen-ton gun- boats of the Chinese fleet fought well, one sinking near the English man-of-war, Champion, while the other stationed above the junks made a good stand. The French kept up the fire on the arsenal, neighboring buildings, forts, barracks and village, until five o'clock in the afternoon, although re- sistance from shore batteries ceased about three o’clock. Some French and Chinese ships were engaged in close proximily to the English men-cf-war, Vigilant and Champion, At six o'clock, Sanday even- ing three burning gunboata floated down the stream, one carrying French colors. Numerous fire junks blaz- ing in a dangerous. manner imperil- led the English men-of-war, but were fended off. One English barque was saved by the English. The French torpedo boats exploded at the stean of Yang Woo, trans- port, and two sinking gunboats, The scene on the river as the dead and wounded floated by was terrible. The English sayed many of the wounded. The forts lower down have not been attacked. The Lon- on Times correspondent was the only newspaper representative present. He was on board the Champion.

At length Manitoba’s surplus wheat crop begins to ve a source of supply for the outside world. The reports of the Board of Agriculture of that Province give 350,- 000 ucres as sown to wheat this year. An estimate for the territories is 50,000 acres, giving a total of 400,000 acres. The Winnipeg Free Press says that 20 bushels per acre is a low average for a favorable season such as this has been, and that would make a total yield of 8,000,000 bushels. The home consumption in the province «and territories will scarcely exceed 3,000,000 bushels, which would leave a surplus of 5,000,000 bushels for export.
