that some of the American correspondents aay,and some of our papers publish the | saying, that “itis believed now that the | court of enquiry on the Maine disaster | will declare that the wreck was caused ty | a floating mine.” “A floating mine” isa new thing under the aun. Such state- ments are concocted and published to hum bug the ignorantand keep up the sensation. Whatever caused the destruction of the Maine, it was not a “floating mine.” —Subscriptions are being collected wards the erection of a suitable memoria! to Robert Louis Stevenson, the author. It 18 understood that the memorial wil] be in
to-
ihe form of a statue or buat, with or ¥Vithout architectural accompaniments. We Jearn that practical appreciation of
Stevenson’s great literary merit has been shown throughout the English speaking world, and that Canada is doing her part it is expected that Stevenson’s admirers in Charlottetown will contribute their miter. Dr. Arderson, of Prince of Wales College and Normal School, has been asked to receive and wil! forward al] amounts that may be handed ‘o bim for the Steven- son Memor a! Fund.
—Cardinal Gibbons a few davs ago de livered ao address before a large assem- blage called tor the purpose of offering holy sacrifice for the officers and men who jost their lives on the battleship Maine. The Cardinal said, in concluding his address : “ Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just. 1] hope and believe, for the honor of humanity, that the destruct~ ion of the Maine wes caused by an accident, and in that case Spain cannot be respo:si- ble. Tie only circumstance that would warrant hostilities would be the evidence: that the Spanish government connived at the placing of torpeloea or ny the harbor of Havana the Maine.’

On the part of tbe Minister of Finance. I[n former years the public accounts tor the fiscal year, which closes June 30, were
kept open fortwo orthree months a‘ter~ wards iv order that al] payments b:iong. og to that year shou!d be charged to it. Mauy in lovg after the year clo-ea for services, while the revenue of the year isall paid in wiihin a week or
accounts come
two after the next year commences. Mr. Fielding, however. prompily c'osed the acconnt after the revenues were all col-
lected, and betore the payments had been allmade. The result is that these pay ments will not appear in the accounts of
this current year and will not have to be wade known until the winter of 1899. — Mr. Maclean, the editor of the To-
ronto World, is something ofa socialist. He objects to C. PR. monopolies, Mac- kenzie and Manu moaopolies, and all mo- ropolies. He was among the first to op?n | tire on this meaaure through paner, aod he advances the theory tuat the Yukon deal is a partofa large transac~ tidus involving Mackenzie aod Mann and the Canadian Pacific Railway on the on2 side, with the Dominion government, the Hardy government of O..taro and Green- way’s government Mi o1 the ther, to say nothing of various civic gov~ ernments. Mackenz e almost a cons trolling interest in a number of atreet rail- ways, and according to Mr. McLean, be 1s after a big contract for a railway in the Lake of the Woods district. It ia clear | enough that Mr. Mackenzie has a fine jns‘ivet for discovering gold, whether in the soil or in the treasury.

A copy of it was odtained by the American Grovernment and leposited in the seeret archives ot the Library of Congress, When theJJourval’s correspondent learned of its existence he was refused permission (oO inspect ii, but by the combined influence of Speaker Reed and Vice-President Hobart, he was allowed to examine it.” * * * * ‘But the most impurtaut poirt “is a chartalso issued by the Hydrographic Otfice of Madrid, in which suggestions tor the location of submerged uiines are given to guide the eazineerc¢ orp, then op*rativg in Cuba, io prote:ting the harbor ot Havana.

Americans do not usually commit such folly—not if they know it. If the Unirel States, Gov- ernment really had this chart in possession and allowed the Maine to anchor over a submariae mine, the question is whether they are not guilty of criminal neglect,

of its most efficient members.—-As deputy
minister of the interior he had a tre mendous amount of work put upon him inconnection with the opening of the
| Northwest for settlement and by railways,
and he gave to its execution capacity of a high degree ard an untiring energy. To advance the political olj-cts of a partizan minister he was removed from the position whose duties he understood and well dischargec; but all who knew him kuoew also that the change was not for the good of the public service, which he always had at heart.

WESBSTERS BIG
FEE
Apropos of big fees paid to modern lawyers, a New York paper tells about one of Daniel Webster's big fees—big then,
not big as some lawyers’ fees go uow in large cities. A Nantucket man had a small case, and came to town to see
Webster. it was a contest with a neigh- bor over a matter of considerable local in- terest, and his pride as a litigant was at stake. He told Webster the particulars and asked what he would charge to con duct the case.
“Why,” said Webster, “you can’t af- ford to hire me. I should have to stay down there the whole week, and my fee would be more than the whvole case is worth. I conldn’t go down there for less than $1,000. Icould try every case on the docket as well as one, and it wouldn’: cost any more, for one case would take my time for the entire week, anyway.”
“All right, Mr Webster,” auickly re sponded the Nantucketer. “H-re’s your &1,000. You come down aad I'll fix it so you can try every case.”
Webster was so amused over this propos ition that ne his word. He epent the entire week in Nantueket, and appeared on one side or the other in every case thet came up forbearing. The shrewd Nan- tucketer hired Daniel out to all his friends who were in litigation, and received in return about $1,500, so that he got Web~ ster’s services for noihing aad matea good prolit to boot.

Tbhou- sands of miners and prospectors and other investors find themse!ves excluded from a share of the wealth which the country bas been spending millions bring withia their reach, thoug! three-quarters of this domain now reserved might have been saved to.those people.
In all the history ofcontracts in this country there has beem nothing like this, There was no reason forit. It was as easy to deal with [lamilton Smith as with Mackenz eand Mann. Hamilton Smith’s company was ready to go to work as soon asthe other. They offered to finish the road in the sametime. They did not ask ths same privilege in the selection of two million acres as the favorites got in their four million. But Hamilton Smith is an Englishman and repre~ rents Eoglish capitaliste, who will audit the expenditure. His offer does not pro- vide the same opportunities for ministers and their followers as thatof Mackenzie and Maun. I[t does not contain such in- finue possibilities of contributions to campaign funds. Moreover, it is report- ed that there are relations closer than that of minister and contractor between some members of the government and this fortunate firm. However that may be, the contractas made isso much worse than the contract that might have been made, that no explapstions intended for purpores of concealment can hide the dire graceful facts. Whatever the Hoase of Commons may di; whatever action the senate may take; the people of Canada will not forget this extravagant and vicious aud probably corrupt sacrifice of their wealth.

HOCKEY AT ST, DU NSTAN’S, Prince of Wales College vs St. Dunstan's, The P. W.C%s& 8. D.C. met lact t for the second timethis winter to Hat for the champiousbip of the two res, and ‘again the “Princes” were victorious. Before the play began, Lieut,
Governor Howlan addressed the audience; but bis remarks were inaudible except to those very near the front of the rink. The play was started at 7.35 and from the start t was fast and furious. The puck was at irst sent into the Saints territory, mut was soon sent flying towards Princes who made a determised effort it back and were Shortly after, Farquharson scored for the Princes, This being the first goal of the evening, the P. W. C. boys and girla made ihe bullding ring with their applause, From tl till half-time the puck was kept running from one end of the rink to

though the puck was kept constantly ront of the Saint’s goal 3 failed to score. At the finish
the scores stood 2-1. The attendance was good although the night was not very favor- able and doubiless kept many home. The Saints have improved since they last met
owing chiefly to the Saints goal who isa
star. The Saints forwards although great- |
ly superior in size to the *Princes forwards were not as smart on iheir feet. The Princies play a grand combination, and in fact they did all the combination playing that was done while the Saints pfayed al- together individually. The piaying of Roy, Sullivan} and Gagnon, of the Saints was good,while Pickard and the other forwards of the Princes did exceptionally good work. McLean and Schaefer put upa grand de- fence,
