This Morning’s Session.

1. Resolution from Winnipeg Board of Trace relative to a reduction of postage to 2 cents on letters mailed in Canada tor Canada, United States and Newfoundland.
2. Inspection of fish and fish oils, asking the Government to make the Act compulsory, 48 it is now optional. These articles are often below the requirements of the Act and result in a serious loss to shippers.

(b) New business,
1. The Commercial Traveiler’s Tax on P. E. Island.

7. The law sffecting the weight of goods canned and in packazes,
8. Telegraph communication between P. E. Island and the Mainland,
The report was assented to.
The President, Mr. Troop, before the reguler orders of the day, delivered a short address. He was highiy gratified at the honor conferred in appointing him to the presidency of the Board. He patriotically referred to the auspicious year of Jubilee which is now with us, advocated co- operation among the Maritime Boards and trusted tbat the Fast Atlantic Service will socn materialize. He was happy and glad 10 note the bright expectations of a reward of the labors of the husbandmaa this year.
He referred at some length to the cold storage project. Mr. Boak of Halifax had informed him that he was representing cold storage interests to the capitalists in the old country, and it is hoped that a tangible advaace will soon be made in the cold storage project. In closing his concise and thoughtful remarks, the President dilated on the great importance of this Board. He insisted strongly on the entire restriction of sectional differences in the building up of our great country. He thought local jealousies and ambitions exerted a depressing influence throughout the Dominion. But, at the same time, he wouid stand up for the interests of these Maritime Provinces, and he thought our i. C. R. should receive as favorable con- sideration as the canals out in the Great West and that our maritime ports should be the receptacles af Canadian trade and
' merce. » Mr. Jarvis heartily agreed with the
THER DAILY EXAMINER, CiiARLOTTETOWN, SEPTEMBER 22, 1897
forcible though short speech which ex- pressed his approval of the J. C, R. extension as a praisworthy project. He thought that expenditure on tue Great West canals had been a little partial and hat it Ought to be curtailed as it is pot in yur Maritime interests by any means.
Che President thankad the meeting for their kind resolutions and although retir- ing to-day would always take a deep interest in the proceedings of the Board.
The e'ection of officers was then proceed ed with and resulted as follows:
President—C. E. Bently, Truro.
(1) Horace Haszard Charlottetown, (2) W. M. Jarvis Si. Jonn.
Secy-Treas—G. A. Hal] of Truro.
A warm and unanimous vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Charles J. Creed, tue retiring Secretary, and Mr. Hall applauded as he took the Vacant seat.
Che President approved the selection, aod feelingly referred to the late Secretary of the Board in St. John, expressing the Board’s sympathy with the widow of deceased,
A minute was entered to this effect.

Mr. Haszard was strongly pressed to accept the Presideacy, But Mr. Haszard, while expresw#ivg his thanks for the offer, was sorry Le was unable to handle so much
clerical and other work ae the position entailed, and he thought our isolation {| would also provean argument for his
declining.
litem 2 of unfinished business was then taken up regarding inspection of fish and fish oils.
Mr. Mitchell, of Halifax, spoke of cases in his personal knowledge of great loss to shippers through fish turning out badly on export. This nas, he said, a tendency to demoralize the trade. Oils are now inspect- ed. Mr. Mitchell introduced the following resolution:
Resolved that the Board memorialize the Ministerof Marine avd Fisheries to have the Iaspection Act reyarding Pickled Fish made compulsory.
Mr. Haszard, of Charlottetown referred tothe well-known instance of Labrador herring deception, big fish on top of barrel and trash farther down. He would support the resolution. Mr. Jarvis thought that topic 2 might be considered as having affinity to topic 7 regarding “the law affecting the weight of goods canned and in packages”. He thoughtthe question blended, as it was a matter involving the hovesty and integrity of manufacturing, canning, packing and trade in general.
Mr. Laird enquired if the Halifax Board had weighed the matter. Nr. Creed said ithad been discussed, aud crystallised into a resolution.
Resolution carried.
Item 4 regarding Capt. Eastaway’s sigoalling proposal was laid over finally.

According to the returns printed the revenue for Angust was $5.134,000, com-
; pared with $5,720,000 in 1896, a decline of
$586,000. The expenditure was $3,617,000. compared with $2,268,000 in August, 1896, an increase of $1,329,000. The Laurier Government is marching to a bigger deficit than it had last year, and» not even the boldest prevaricator on its press will be able to say the Tories did it.
A curious suggestion has been with the object of empbasizing the union of the British Empire, and it meeting with considerable favor. The ideais that in place of such distinctive nates as Can - adja, Australia, etc , the designation of “British Empire” should be applied to all the countries under Brisish rule. Under this plan Great Britain proper would be koown as British Empire—Central.” Can- ada would be known as “British Empire— Northwest,” etc.
United States papers are telling of a Kansas farmer who bought a tract of land last year at $80 an acre, and who has raised enough wheat thereon this year to pay for his purchase 6 times over. At the average price of wheat in Kansas, this wou'd imply that the farmer’s crop was over 500 bushels tothe acre. If the story is true the Klondike is not in the race with Kansas as a wealth producer. If it is not true, Kansas must get the belt as a raiser cf liars. It is suepeeted that it is the Ananisian trophy the bleeding state will hold.

The Board adjourned at 1 o’clock to}
from a visit to the British Columbia coast Indians, satisfied that they are relatell to the natives of Siberia, and that the origi- nal home was in Asia. This opinion is in confirmation of what many other observers } have thought. There is a Mongol look in ‘ the-faces of many of the coast natives I that probably firet gave rise to the idea
that they were of Asiatic origin. They
are, however, a people distinct from, and } in some ways superior to the other North * American tribes, the origin of which, as * of their mound-building predecessors, is / yet unfathomed.
The Chatbam Planet bas found the following in one of the Ontario authorized text books:
“Yes, sir, they will see her great in arts and in arms; ber golden harvests waving over fields of imm2asurable eatent; her commerce penetrating the most distant sear; ber cannon silencing the vain boasts of those who now proudly affect to rule the waves.”
Those “who now proudly affect to rule the wavee” are the British people. Those who are to silence “‘the vain beasts” are the people of the United States.
That [ndia will be an exporter of wheat
certainty by the abundant rains that now appear to bave failen in all the famine stricken districts. The suffering of the Indian people provoked much sympathy in Canada Just year. The abundance with which they are being bleased now will be cause of a corresponding thankfulness,
