THE
The P. E I. Railway.
Tue Minister of Railways has made a good impression on the neighboring prov- inces His never-failing courtesy and readiness to learn all about the great rail- way under his control are the subject of favorable comment on the part of the press. We feel sure that he will be equally fortunate in respect to this Provimee, Mr. Haggart’s practical business mind and training will at once enable him to see what's wanted here. He cannot fail to note that the conditions in this Province are different from those which exist upon the continent. There, there is a comparatively sparse population and long hauls. Here there is a comparatively dense population and, for the most part, a merely local traffic. There, a large proportion of the people has no alternative but to travel by rail or remain at home. Here, people can take their own horses or go by steamer or sailing vessel if the railway arrangements | are unsuitable. There, many sections of country are wholly dependent upon the t railway for the carriage of freight. Here there are at almost every point several ways by which freight may be carried; and though the railway is the most prompt» | direct and satisfactory, our people are very
apt to choose another way if the trains keep them up late at night, or the rates are not regarded as sufficiently low.
Bearing these different conditions
view, it would be well, we think, if some- what different arrangements were made in respect to this Province. We give the railway au horities full credit for good in- tention in their efforts to afford daily com- munication from the mainland to all parts of the Province. For the prompt forward- ing of mails, and for the convenience of passengers who must reach any given point on the evening of arrival at Summerside or Charlottetown, the present arrangements are excellent. But the present arrange- ments necessitate persons along the line being up late at night, anid watching in the dark for the arrival of trains which are not always up to time, in order that they may take advantage of the railway. So the prob- ability is that, in nine cases out of ten, they will go or send by the other ways which are available. We have no means of knowing absolutely, but judging frem the existing conditions, we should conclude that the P. E Island Railway stands to lose a consideratie portion of local way traffic as a result of the operation of the present ar- rangement. This is a matter which will, of course, engage the attention of the Minister of Railways; for, as Mc. VanHornu well said the other day, true economy in railway management, in these growing, prosperous parts of Oanada, consists rather in the development of traffic than in the cutting down of expenses. Ii, instead of striving to reach all parts of the Province on the night of arrival in the Province, an effort were made to reach, daily, the mainland from all parte of the Province, the railway connections at Point DuChene would be much closer than they are, and our way passengers to and from every point would be able to travel in the day— and would, therefore, be much more in- clined to take the railway in preference to carriage or steamer. It may not be known to the Minister of Railways, but it is a fact that persons residing west of Char- lottetown and having to do business at the banks or public offices, must, under the present arrangement, lose a whole day and parts of two other days, if they come and go by rail—the consequence being that in many cases, they do not come by rail.
Another point to which the Minister's attention might well be directed is the means affurded for reaching Halifax from Charlottetown. The train by which che Island passengers travel from Pictuu— oc rather from Stellarton—to Truro is a freight accommodation train, and the time occupied between the two points is five hours. No means are afforded for refresh- ments, and the passenger who takes a hasty breakfast in his Charlottetown hotel at half-past five, a. cannot, unless personally provided with refreshm)nts satisfy his hunger until after he arrives at Truro at about four p.m. It will be ad- mitted by everyone that this is not calcu- lated to attract travel” from Charlottetown to Halifax ; and we irust that the existing arrangement will be improved as a result of Mr. Haggart’s visit. A faster train could be obtained if the steamer were to leave here at mid-day But then the mails would be detained at Pictou over night and would not reach Charlottetown until the next day. So that the remedy must be sought for from the railway rather than from the steamboat authorities.
We trust that Mr. Haggart will remain here long enough to test fully, for himself, the truth of that which is here set forth on behalf of a reticent and diffident people who do not care to trouble the Minister with any complaint, and that he with his party may be fully convinced, by personal experience, that P. E. Island is one of the pleasantest sum- mer resorts in North Americs.

Notes and Comments.
—Under “foreign competition ” (to wit, the competition of American cloth indus- tries started up by the McKinley law) the average weekly wages of weavers in Brad- ford, the great woolen manufacturing centre of England, decreased from $3.24 in 1890 to $3.08 in 1891. That is a heavy decrease for one year. Facts like this are not calculated to make the English work- iogmen enjoy the status quo.
—Mr, Henderson, Her Majesty's super- intendiog inspector of textile industries, entertains rather a gloomy view of the condition of the Lancashire cotton trade. In « report recently made by him he says it is estimated that more money was lost in Lancashire last year than in any single year since the establishment of the cotton industry. In Oldham alone, where most of the spinning mills are limited liability coneerns, the loss on the workings of the quarter ended September 30, 1891, was estimated at £100,000. This loss wac the result in a great measure of fluctuations 10 the price of the raw material, and was more especially due tothe heavy drop in priee, owing toa **bumper" crop. One feature that promises ill for the future, In Mr. Henderson’s opinion, is the growing tendency of capitalists to withdraw from
| the business, owing to the difficulty of
competing with large companies owning en- ermous factories equipped with the most improved machinery and appliances. Mr. Henderson says: ‘*The cotton spinner and manufacturer who owns his mills him- self promiseses to become fextinct and we shall then be reduced to the position which obtains in the manufacturing dis- tricts of America. The only employers of labor will be the limited companies or corporations. That this revolution is likely to prove beneficial to the operatives [think is open to question, and they would do well to weigh the point care- fully.”
ii. M. S. Blake.

Steamer Caber Freidh.
Tre above beautiful steamer arrived on Thursday eveniag at 4 p. m. in tow of the steam tug William, which arrived from Pictou, N. S., where the Caber Freidh was built and finished for the owners, Messrs. Henry McKenzie, John Fraser and Capt. Adam Graham, who also came overin her. The steamer can be seen at Peake’s No. 3 Wharf, where she now hes to receive her boilers and engines. The Caber Freidh is 65 feet length of keel, 15 feet beam and 7 feet depth of hold, and is the admiration of all the steamboat men who have had the pleasure of seeing her. She is to be fitted up by Messrs. McKin- non & McLean, of thiscity. The boiler is 10 feet high over all, 6 feet diameter, of steel plate one half inch thick, and will carry 120 lbs. of steam, working pressure.
The engine is compound, the high —_ cylinder is 12-inch, and the ow press is 22-inch diameter,
and 16 inch stroke of the tandem type or build. She will be fitted out with surface condensor, independent air and circulating pump, with feed pump combined, of the fly wheel pattern; also large donkey pump of same pattern,—ali made by Messrs. ioltieen & McLean. Her crank shaft is of steel, as well as her connecting rod and cross head, also her main shaft, and is 44 inches diameter, except her cranx, which is 54 inches diameter. She will have a 64 foot propeller, and is expected to speed up to at least 16 knots per hour. Her principal owner, Mr. Henry Me- Kenzie, will spare no expense in fitting her up first-class in every respect, and will place her on the berth next summer at Pictougand Charlottetown for a trip up the St. Lawrence and through the lakes to the Worlds Fair at Chicago and return, which will be no doubt taken advantage of by many citizens of our country who contemplate taking in the great exhibition. We trust the Caber Feidh will meet the brightest expectations of her enter- prising owners.
ALBERTON TEA.—The tea party at Alberton on Wednesday last, was not we are sorry to say, the success it would cer- tainly have been were the weather at all favorable. The gathering was large, but owing to the rain, the people could remain on the grounds only a few minutes at a time and of course everything was thus rendered difficult to those in charge of the tables, saloons, booths, etc., as well as pleasure seekers. Had the day been fav- orable there is no doubt but that the net receipts would have fouted up high above 4 thousand dollars. As it was, about $500 were netted, which,to everyone present,ap-
floor, and visible to the public at all times,
peared wonderful.
SANGIR'S AWFUL DELUGE.
Towns and Inhabitants Are Blotted out of Existence.
EARTH YAWNS AND SWALLOWS PEOPLE BY THE HUNDRED — LATEST DETAILS OF THE ERUPTION OF GUNONG AROO—TEN THOU- SAND LIVES LOST, 'T IS THOUGHT, AT A MODERATE ESTIMATE.
———
The steamer Empress of I: dia, just ar- rived at Victoria from Japan, brings addi- tional details of the disastrous volcanic eruption on Great Sangir Island. Without any warning signal, without any sign what- ever of impending disturbance, the Gunong Aroo volcano blared forth on June 7, and within twenty four hours the whole of the prosperous surrounding country was devas- tated. The location of the crater is latti- tude 3 degrees 39 minutes north, longitude 125 degrees 29 minutes east.
The western coast of Great Sangir Island is washed by the Celebes Sea, with the Molucea passage on the southeast.
The island is one of a chain of islands near the Philippines.
The first report of the eruption was heard about six o'clock in the morning, and for four hours there was one continual stream of Sire and ashes belching forth.
After a slight relaxation a flood of fire again began, continuing two days, heavy rumblings being heard in the mountains.
TOROANA BURNED.
The town of Toroana, on the southern side of the island, suffered then. Dvwell- ings and other structures crumbled under their heavy load of dust and ashes, the in. habitants fleeing for safety, while many perished in the ruins.
The cocoanut plantations, which covered the whole mountain side, were completely destroyed. The country west of Torvana was covered with thick mud and ashes.
Territic thunderstorms had followed each earthquake. Hot streams of mad and lava running down the mountain side rendered travelling unsafe, and those who were over- taken in their flight perished. '
Reports from all over the Island indi- dicate the most disastrous consequences. Whole villages are submerged and cocoa and nutmeg plantations everywhere are ruined. In the northern part of the island lava streams were running with terrific force,
Among other villages completely obliter- ated was that of Tokekam, famed for its beauty and wealth.
FRIGHTFUL LOSS OF LIFE.
The loss of life is something frightful, but no accurate estimate of it can yet made. Some place it is as high as 10,000.
The captain of a ship which took aassist- ance to the sufferers says that 10,000 is not too high a figure as an estimate of the number of Jead.
A thousand bodies have been picked up on the shore and many were found float- ing in the sea.
The alarm reached Ternate and the Netherlands warship, Zsemtruw, was im- mediately despatched, while from Mendene the British steamer Hecuba, wis also sent to render assistance and carry supplies.
The whole islandiscomplete!) devastated, and although the violent eiuption has ceased, volumes of smoke are arising, ac- companied by steam and ashes.
The lower lands and valleys sre covered with lava, which is still pouring down, while cracks in the mountain h.ve opened, emptying volleys of steam, stones and mud,
Further outbreaks were fearsd and as fast as steamers and vessels could be ob- tained the inhabitants still alive were fiseing,
ENORMOUS LOSS OF PROPURTY.
Property worth millions upor. millions is destroyed forever. For many years the inhabitants of Sangir Island, living within the shadows of «a dormant crater, had tilled the soil and prospered, their chief industry being the growing o! nutmegs, cocoanuts and grapes, the product being regularly shipped abroad.
Their life was a romantic one, favored by Providence with a climate equalling, if not surpassing, that of Italy, and a aoil needing little cultivation to make it prefitable.
With no political or national disturbances the semi-savage natives were grad aally becom. ing civilized. The villages and towns were well built and had schools and ch irches.
SHOWERS OF FLAME AND STONES,
The awful devastation began at 8 c’clock on the morning of June 7. There was a terriflic
the crater as high iu the heavens as the. eye could reach, and immediately afterwards hot ashes were falling like snowfl.<es over the whole country. Dust was flying in all direc- tions, and from the time of the first explosion until nine o’clock that evening fierce volumes of flame and smoke and show2rs of large stones were belched forth, followed by rain, which fell in torrents, bringing dcwn with it the cloudss of ashes that were flying through the air.
This continued all night and the whole of the next day.
VILLAGES AND INHABITANTS SWALLOWED UP.
Earthquakes began July 9. Village after village was engulfed, hundreds of people dropping into the great cracks of the ea
The whole country is under a l:.yer of mud, ashes and stones. Ali vegetaticn is either burned up by the awful heat of the voléanic fires or haa been destroyed by dense showers of ashes and dust.

The Ruddy Planet.
The giant telescope presented to the Uni versity of California by James Lick is making a record for itself during the pre sent apposition of Mars. Many of the Milanese astronomer Schiaparelli’s fauciful details are shown to have no existence. Thia will be a bitter disappointment to many visionary theorists, who have found in the existence of these ‘‘cana!s,” particularly in the announcement that all were sure to be doubled, most indisputable evidence that Mars was inhabited by human beings. The most startling of the observations are those made on the two tiny moons of the planets, which were first discovered by Asaph Hall in Washington during the ap- position of 1877, and which have since been seen at brief intervals, and only in the very largest telescopes. Not only have these little attendants, by long odds the faintest planetary bodies to be seen anywhere in the sky, been at plain view for the best part of the month, but of late astronomers have regularly observed their eclipses
G
in the shadow of Mars. The sa- tellites are seen to disappear in eclipse upon reaching the line of
ow with almost the same instantaneous effect which is seen when the dark limb of the moon passes over a bright star ia the sky. Vithia two lengths of a second the wole body of the moon is seen to be immersed in the shadow cast out in space by the globe of Mars. The inner satellite of Mars has no larger area than an ordinary California ranch, and is so near to the planet that if there are any inhabitants in Mars they can readily find out whether this satellite is inhabited, the distance being less than one sixtiezh of that of the moon from the earth. The inner satellite is probably eight miles in diameter, the outer one about twenty. The first is less than 4000 miles from the su:face of the planet and the other about three times that distance. The inner one completes one revolution in less than sight fours, so that it seems to be “new” three times a day.
