NEWS BY TELEGRAPH.

REGAL PARTY. Meraprrpia, July 2.

At an early hour this morning every one in the vicinity of Metapedia was on the qui vive of expectation as ‘Great Cvesar’s Ghost,” with the Princess on board, was expected to arvive before eight o’clock. Many ef Fraser’s guests were on. the beach anxiously looking as far up the river as was possible for the first glimpse of the boat.

About eight e’clock the craft was seen rounding a bend of the river. A halt was made on the opposite side of the river se as to give the party time to breakfast. While the meal was in progress Mrs. DeWinton and Miss Boyle, who errived this morning from St. Andrew’s, crossed the river in a canoe and joined the Princess and party. Shortly after the horses were again attached to the scow, and plung’ng rapidly throngh the water, which 1s not more than four feet deep at this point, landed the craft on the Metapedia shore and the Vice-Regal fishing expedition up the Restigonche was a thing of the past.

Servants at once began unloading baggage and carrying it up to the tra‘n in waiting to convey the party to Assametquaghan. Dur- ing the half hour oceupied in this work the Prine Lady Macnamara and Mrs. De- Winton remained en the deck and chatted pleasantly with one anether. Her Royal Highness was dressed in a dark grey travel- ling suit and wore the broad rimmed hat which had done good service in protecting her from the rays of the sun while fishing.

While on the river, the Duke of Argyll shot a fine shell duck. This bird was stufied by the Duke’s orders, and presented to Mr. Fraser this morning as a memento of his Grace’s friendship.

A photographer who is here, thinking the occasion a favorable one, planted his camera en an eminence near the shore and was about to take a view of the whole party, who were seated on deck, when the Prin- cess noticed him apd mischievously darted down into the cabin, and the ambitious artist was vbliged to take the group with- out having her Royal Highness as one of the tigures.

The Princess was in sthe best of spirits, and talked pleasantly to all near her. When about leaving for the cars she bade each man belonging to the scow farewell, and shook hands with Mr. Mowatt, thank- ing him for the many kindnesses and atten- tiens shown them while en the boat, which was in his charge. On landing, Her Royal Highness walked up to the railway crossing in company with Mr. Fraser, On being

1 asked hew she had enjoyed the trip, she re-

plied that it had been delightful, and had far exceeded her expectations. Before starting, slie expressed ahepe that it would not be the last trip of the kind to this river. She was much pleased with the Indians who have been with her, and, before getting on board the train, bade them good-bye, say- ing she trusted they would be here to ac- company her the next time she came. As the special train started, the Princess came out and stood on the rear platform, bowing and smiling to those standing near. The party are encamped at Assametquaghan to- night, and will remain there until to-morrow at noon, when they go to Causapscal, ten miles further up, leaving the station Friday night or Saturday morning for Quebec.

Oil and its Test.

(From the T'oronto Mall.)

Some discussion has been taking place in the papers in regard to the apparently in-

between American and Canadian oils for illuminating purposes. A higher fire test is applied to the American and a higher in- spection duty has been placed upon it.,The discussion was begun during the session but then resulted in nothing. It is complained of in the Lower Provinces as an unjust dis- crimination against the American oil, which is largely used in that quarter. Of course the ‘‘Reformers” of the Lower Provinces will not be satisfied with any part of the National Policy, and will find an unjust discrimination in every item of the tariff. As a matter of fact, hewever, the American oil, as Americans will theraselves confess, requires a higher fire test than the Cana-

dian. [tis lighter, more explosive, more dangerous. In the ayerage of accidents

from the explosion of oil, three-fourths will be found to have arisen frem the use of American oil. Canadian oil requires a lower test, for it is less explosive and less dangerous. This is af course denied by those whese interests lie in disposing of the American oil; but it is true, nevertheless. The discrimination in that respect is not unjust at all; it is in faver of lite and pro- perty and safety. In proof of the danger- ous character of the American oils (the cheaper and more dangerous qualities of which are now sent to Canada, to the Lower Provinces largely) we may give the following paragraph from a late paper of Reformed politics :-—

**The Gas Committee of the Cleveland City Council have given orders to discon- tinue the lighting of the street lamps with coal oil, as has been done for about two years past, on account of the danger arising from frequent explosions ef the lamps now in use.”

Stronger testimony than that no one could wish for, in faver of the higher test for American oils adepted by the Govern- ment. With regard to the difference in the inspection fee, without at. all knowing what the object was, we may assuine that it was adopted for the purpose of helping out the revenue as much as possible. We sup- pose that it is not forgotten that a deficit of $2,490,000 fs to be made up. And if the larger inspection fee on American oil actsas a little protection,the fact is not at all a-re- erctable one. Our Lower Province friends of the Reform stripe have an inordinate and su- perstitions notion of the hestiliiy of Ontario to them. As a matter of fact, Ontario has a great interest in the development of Lower Province presperity and the increase of trade. Ontario has made large con- eessions in earnest of her views. Ontario has gone in for a duty en coal, for making Halifax the winter port, for managing the Intercolonial Railway so as to give the eastern industries a fairer change fer ce- velopment (7) Ontario has been far more generous than the Grit people in the Mari- time Provinces will admit. Happily, the majority of these people are now not Grits, but Liberal Couservatives and friends of the National Policy. <A little grumble over a discrimination against American oil will hardly endanger inter-provincisl relations at atime when the article of oil, thanks to the efforts of the Liberal Conservatives in

| past and present years, is cheaper than it

has ever been. Agricuitural and Commercial De- pression in Hngland.

Lord Derby, at the Lancashire Farmers’ Ciub, one June 14th, spoke at considerable length on the relation of landlord and ten- ant, in view of the loss. occasioned to far- mers by the combination of bad harvests

jand commercial depression at home, and.a

large importof grain from abroad. He recommended them to keep down their numbers and they would thus keep down their rents ; they would spoil their chances by being too thick on the ground, while in America and Australia there is room enough for them or their sons for centuries tocome, Referring to the Game Laws, he said he would not himself object to give the game. to a tenant, subject, of course, to an agreement. | His lordship also referred to the question of free cultivetion and unexhausted improvements. te also expressed his conviction that there never was a time when it was less necessary for tenant farmers to ask the State to make contracts for them. With farms lying un- occupied all over the country, it was the tenant’s own fafilt if he accepted a lease with objectionabie conditions. The qunes- tion was not one for Parliament. ’

Lacer-Bier.—I¢ is settled. The fiat has gone forth from the Court House in St. John, N. B., never to be recalled—Lager beer is intoxicating! After a long trial, conducted with British impartiality before an incorruptible judge, that respectable German citizen, Lager Bier, has been found guilty of containing alcohol. The only question that now remains to be decided is, what will those teetotalers do with all the lager they have been drinking under the innocent conviction that it wasa temper- ance beverage. —Grip. - > +. << ++
