AUGUST 11, 1890.

Notes and Comments. -

. The Government of the Dominion is

making a commendable effort to have ail

arts of the country well represented at the 5 amaica exhibition.

According to a paper lately laid before the German parliament, the full strength of the armies of the five great powers of Europe is as follows :

Wee isd c i i oe toned candice 3,000,000 guns uke eed ene he han 2,579,000 Germany .....---+-..--- -+ ++ ++ 2,900,000 Austro-Hungary ...........++6: 1,150,000 Bene. = oc ces cine jetiscs tee ee 1,090,000

—The Czar has declared that he does not maintain the military establishment of Russia for purposes of aggression, but that it is neccessary for him to have a strong and formidable army in order to secure the continued brooding over his empire of white-winged peace. It will be remem- bered that the keeper of a house of enter- tainment once declared that he would have quiet in his establishment “fhe had to lick every man in it,”

— An expedition of gold miners is on the way to the gold mines of Mashonaland, in the rear of the Matabele country, South Africa. The expedition has penetrated the wilds as far as the southern border, but is Yented admission by King Lebengul, who had promised a British company the min- ing rights in return for a valuable consider- ation, but dare not fulfil the bargain on account of the opposition of his people. The Metabeles are Zulus, who long ago left their own country and founded a new kingdom. They are said to number 30,000 warriors, and could easily give the mining expedition « great deal of trouble, and perhaps even totally exterminate it. The miners are well armed, however, and pro- vided with Maxim guns. Asthe prize in the rear of Matabeleland is believed to be very rich, it is unlikely that they will, even in face of great numerical odds, abandon the enterprise which they marched so far to accomplish.

—Sir John Macdonald’s visit to this Pro- vince was, to his friends and supporters here, a pleasing surprise. All were pleased to see the veteran Premier in robust health and to know that he retains a personal in- terest inthis gem of the Northern Sea. Sir John was, on his part, pleased to say that he saw many changes, many improve- ments in Prince Edward Island since his visit of twenty yearsago. The railway, free lands, and improved facilities for pub- lic business consequent upon confederatica, these with quiet prosperity and content- ment instead of agrarian agitation and dis- content, are noticeable by observers far less keen than the Premier of Canada. We have no doubt that with all the pride and pleasure which the contemplation of our present happy condition must have given him, Sir John experienced one regret, viz: that there is still link wanting in the chain of railways by which he has secured the **continuous communication” throughout rest of Canada and that Paince Edward Island remains cut off from the great country of which she forms an intregal part, and un- able to participate in all the advantages afforded by the union.

—Much importance is attached to the poli- tical utterances of Lord Roseberry, because of his position as an ex-Liberal Foreign English Secretary, and the probability of his being the next Liberal Premier in Eng- land. At the recent meeting of the Cana- da Club in London, in referring to the feeling of regret generally prevalent at the necessity of parting with Heligoland, even though the consideration received were of infinately greater value than the little is- land could ever possibly be, he uttered some memorable words which should long ring in the ears of those who are forever dwelling upon the willingness of Great Britian to part with the slender silken thread of political union which now con- nects Canada with the imperial power. His words were as follows : —But if there is any such feeling in regard to Heligoland, what must it be when applied to territories like those of the Dominion of Canada? I can- not conceive the frame of mind in which a Minister would approach the British nation with a proposal that under certain circum: stances Canada should be separated from the empire or Australia be separated from us. He might be right or he might be wrong, but he would be damned by the nation. We never could part with Canada or Australia, except under strain of anguish and agony which would break up the empire. We never could part with them except with a feeling of regret and almost of degradation which would shake the empire to its very foundation.

Tue Oyetone AGAIN.—A Quebec despatch of the 7th says; News received fron: St. Giles Lotbinier, says a cyclone passed over that vicinity yesterday at 4-30p.m. It commenced within afew acres of the Roman Catholic church and continued in a southerly direction. It did immense damage to the growing crops for the space of about an eighth of a mile’ wide — the growing grass off close to the a . Rootcrops shared the same fate.

ail fell of the weight of an ounce each, accompanied by a perfect tornado. Many squares of glass were broken by the hail, and several small hot-houses were carried distances of 30 to40 feet. Numerous trees, the growth of centuries were broken.

From Boston.—The Steamer Worcester, Captain Nickerson, arrived here from Boston, on Saturday evening, with a cargo and the following passengers: Mr J H Gill, Grace Small, Mrs D N Blake, Mrs M Mce- Arthur, Miss Timms, Thos Caldwell, Mrs Thos Caldwell, Mrs Dogherty, Edgar Dogherty, Miss E E Owen, Mrs McArthur, Mrs Doyle, Margaret McDonald, Maggie McKinnon, Minnie Connor, Mrs A K Loftus, Miss A Earle, Mary McQuarrie, Miss Douse, Florence A Stroker, Donald McCormack, Mr M Driscoll, Mr M McKenzie, Mr M Doyle, Mr J Parson, MrM McCarthy, Miss O’Connelly, Miss McQuaid, Miss Chisholm, Miss Brynan, Mr A McGregor, Rev Mr McAuly and Rev Mr Penney.

Russia's review of a hundred thousand soldiers on the occasion of the German Em- peror’s visit will be one of the finest military

eants Europe has seen for a long time. t will also be an object lesson to the

OCzar’s guest that will need but little ex planation,

Sir John arrived at the Town Hall at half- past two o'clock. The Hall ,was crowded with people, and the platform was beauti- fully decorated with flowers.

Many of the principal people of the town occupied seats upon the platform. David Rogers, Esq., M. P. P., read the following

ADDRESS :—

To the Right Honorable Sir John Alexander Macdonald, P. C., K. C. B., &c, Do- minion of Conada,

Sim,—We, the undersigned, inhabitants of Summerside and other parts of Prince Couaty, embracing members of the Young Men’s Liberal-Conservative Association, members of the Corporation of the town of Summerside, and Liberal-Conservatives in general, havin learned of your presence in Prince Edward Island, now desire most respectfully to extend to you and to Lady Macdonald a cordial welcome to the Western Capital of the Prov- ince.

In common with Canadians throughout the Dominion, we have had the privilege of becoming familiar with the principal events in your long and distinguished public career; while since the epoch of Confederation especi- ally, your parliamentary and officia! records have been deeply interesting to us.

Your devotion to the duties of the many exalted positions to which you have been called through the suffrages of an enlightened electorate; your ascendancy amongst men of every class, and your successful adjustment of apparently irreconcilable sentiments that, for the time, found expression in and out of parliament, have been acknowledged alike by honorable opponents as by hosts of admirin friends. Here, as elsewhere, the hand o genius, when guided by the dictates of con- science, has been equal to every emergency.

We regret thar pressing demands upon your time will deprive you of the advantages of a more extended visit to ourshoies. We trust, however, that the portions of the Province through which you have passed will impress you not unfavorably with the fertility of the soil and the substantial prosperity of its in- habitants.

It must be a source of satisfaction and pride to all your political supporters and per- sonal friends, as it is to us, to perceive that, notwithstanding your venerable years, you still enjoy the blesing of robust health, and it goes without question that your popularity as First Minister aud leading Statesman of Canada continues undiminished and unim- paired,

That your valuable life may be prolonged for many more years to direct the public affairs of the Dominion and to maintain its honor and

restige, is our earnest hope. We have also implizit confidence that small though our Province is, it will receive from your impartial administration full and practical recognition of its reasonable demands,

Wishing you and Lady Macdonald a pleasant sojourn in the Eastern Provinces, with re- newed strength and health to enable you to further promote the best interest of the coun- try, and to add to the lustre of your name,

We remain, Yours respectfully, Signed, Summerside, P. E. 1., 11th August, 1890.

The address was signed by all the mem- bers of the Town Council, the Liberal-Con ~ servatives, anda large number of citizens

Sir John, in reply, after thanking them for their addréss, said that this was his first visit to Summerside. It had given him great pleasure to observe the signs fof pro- ss between Charlottetown and here. e cultivation of the fields and the well kept farm houses are evidences of comfort which convinced him that the people of P. E. Island can hold their own with the people of any other part of the country. He must confess that our farms are greatly in advance of the agricul- tural improvements of the other Provinces; and he would be glad if some of the other Canadian farmers would come down and see the advance which has been made in P. K. Island.

People who travelled throughout Canada

! must be convinced of the fact that rhe has become a great country since 1867, W. have | become a nationality. The Mother Coun- try has become proud of us. Our “friendly foes” across the southern boundary, instead | of sneering at Canada and calling a ri frozen-up country, have now not the slight- est objection to annexation. ar will admit that the rapid advance © the | Northwest is a credit to us. If he had | made mistakes they were of the) head and not of the heart. rhe Cana- | dian Pacific Railway has opened up a great trade between Canada and the other parts of the world. But the Government is not | yet satisfied. The C. P. R.is only a means to an end. The real __ter- minii of this great line are Liver- 001, Hong Kong and Japan. He trusted in a few more years to see the | fulfilment of the work. He hoped also, that P. E. Island would, at the next gen- | eral election, strengthen his hands. He! would like, just for the name of the thing, | to have one or two of his supporters come | from P. E. Island. |

He addressed some remarks to the ladies, | and concluded by again thanking them for | their kind address. He spoke at consider- | able length, with great animation, and was | frequently applauded.

The distinguished visitors were enter- tained by Richard Hunt, Esq.

They leave by steamer St. Lawrence this evening at about five o’clock.

At the Butts.
