The Fishery Award.

Iw his election card, in 1882, Mr. L H. Davies said :—

‘*l believe we have a just claim toa share of the Fishery Award, but lam not surprised at Sir John McDonald’s Govern ment rejecting it, when I remember that your late representatives never submitted the claim to the consideration and vote of | the House of Commons. Had they done} so, possibly the result would have been dif. | ferent. Our claim was not one in common | with the other Maritime Provinces which | was submitted and rejected, but entirely | distinct and apart from that, and while, | doubtless, the inexcusable delay in sub-| mitting the Island’s claim to the considera- | tion of the House has seriously prejudiced | our case, still, if elected, I shall do all in | my power to obtain a recognition of our? ights and I cannot believe that a claim, which is so universally recognized in this Island as a just one, will be ignored in the Dominion | House of Commons if properly presented for its consideration.”

Now, we ask, what did all this mean? Did it mean that a great question, on which Mr. Davies claimed to be a great authority, and which had already been “seriously prejudiced” by “ inexcusable delay ” should be dealt with at that gentleman’s pleasure avy time witbin his Parliamentary term of five years? No honest man will claim anything of the kind. Mr. Davies’ card meant im- mediate action on the question. If a denunciation of the ‘inexcusable delay " which had ‘seriously prejudiced our case” meant, that a further delay would be beneficial to it, then Mr. Davies stands acquitted of the charge of promise breaking.

The Patriot of yesterday, professing to quote what Mr. Davies said ino his elec- tion card with respect to the Fishery Award, only gives the words which we have placed in italics, taking good care not to quote the charge of inexcusable delay against our late representatives, nor the conviction that that delay had seriously prejudiced our case! !

Comment is needless.

But it is not ia his election card aloue that Mr. Davies expressed his impatience to serve the country with respect to the Fishery Award, and his contempt for our late represeatatives for not submitting that gesution to the Commons in the way in which he claimed it should have been presented, In the Examineronthe 12th of April, 1880, he said :--

‘We are represented in the House of Commons by six members, five of whom are as docile and obedient followers as Sir John could desire. They all loudly maintained, when elected, that our claim was a good one ; they still, with bated breath, say that their opinions are unchanged, yet, not one of them has had the courage of his opinions sufficiently to move a resolution asking the House to affirm its belief in our rights.”

When Mr. Davies wrote this Jetter he knew that the resolution of the Commons passed iu 1880, declaring that the Award ‘constitutionally and of right belonged tothe Dominion of Canada,” was an emphatic rejection of the separate claim of Prinee Edward Island, and that to bring the question up again would be looked upon, by all parties, as trifling with the time of House ; yet he denounced one Jate Representative for not having the “courage” to bring forward another motion on the subject.

Tue Examiner told Mr. Davies when he wrote these letters that he was acting most unjustly to our late representatives, and deceiving the people by promising to do what he could not do and never intended to do. The results are now betere us. Mr. Davies returns from Ottawa. with his finger in his mouth, pleading & variety of childish excuses for not doing what he promised to do. The Patriot comes to bis relief by saying that ‘the Dominion is large” and that it is “very unpleasant” to press too many specia) claims in one Session. Surely it is not necessary to make a trip to Ottawa to ascertain the extent of the Dominion ! But a sojourn at the capital in a repre- sentative capacity, has occasionally the effect of convincing even the most con- ceited village politician, that he is not the greatest man in the world,

Mr. L. H. Davies is vot the first Island politician who reached Ottawa by loud- mouthed denunciation of better and abler men than himself, and was there forced to fiud his proper level; and in the words of the Anti-Corn Law ditty,—

‘** Came quietly back across the seas, And silent was as mice in cheese.”’

We learn with pleasure that the Rail- way is this year obtaining more traffic than ever Lefore, and that it is not impro bable that next year the Railway account will come out square. The long trains of treight, consisting of from ten to fifteen cars, which go carreering through the country every day, and the passenger cars two and three times every day, sur- prise, somewhat, the anti-railway old gentlemen.

eight width thirty-four feet, deck, over all, is hundred and twenty-four feet. She built of the very best material. Her frame | is of juniper, and her planking is hardwood. She has spruce tupsides, pitchpine cliups, and her frame is well strengthened by diagonal iron straps, and diagonal wood | knees. She will be fitted up with one main | eabin, will be supplied with the best ac- commodation for passenger’s and will have capacity for carrying five hundred people.

The boiler of the ‘‘Heather Belle’ was made by Messrs. Flemming & Son, of St dJdobn, WN... B, ander ‘the special inspection of Capt. Wm. Smith, Dominion Steamboat Inspector. It is thirteen feet long, seven feet six inches in diameter, and has one hundred and seven three-inch pipes, ten feet six inches long. Her shafts, paddles-centres, and other machinery were made by Messrs. Matheson & Co., New Glasgow, N. S., and the brasses and new facing for the cylinder were manufactured by Messrs, A. White & Son, of this city. With new and improved machinery and a seventy-five horse-power engine, it is calculated the new ‘‘ Heather Belle’ will attain a speed of thirteen knots perhour. She will be commanded by Capt. Hugh McLean, of the old ‘‘Heather Belle,” with Mr. Tandvin as engineer, and will be managed by Messr:. Hughes Bros.

Judging from the beautiful appearance of her hull, the plans of her cabin arrange- ment, etc., we feel safe in saying that the ‘* Heather Belle” will be, when finished, one of the finest steamers of her size ever conetructed in the Dominion. We congra- tulate the Inland Steam Navigation Com- pany on their success so far.

Muitary Engineering.

We were present last night at the Drill Shed while the Charlottetown Corps of Epgineers were at work. While we were there, they constructed a bridge to cover a chasm thirty feet in width. lt was a model bridge of } size, and is termed in military parlance a ‘‘Single Lock Bridge.” The mode of constructing it, struck usas re- markably simple indeed. Two working parties, one on each side of the river or chasm set to work to construct frames. The necessary lumber was laid out, and though we expected saws,fhammers, axes, and other tools requisite in the building of ordinary bridges, none of these were used, in short, no mechanical instrument could be seen, save an ordinary measuring tape ; still when the frames were completed and launched,they locked perfectly together. The bridge was completed in less than one hour from the time it was commenced, and, considering that the work was altogether new to the men, they did it admirably. The strength of the bridge was then tested by the men crowding together upon it as closely as possible, and there is no need to add that it stood the test well. Under the able instructions of Lieut. Ewen McDougall who attended a three months course at the Royal Military College and School of Gun- nery, and who succeeded in obtaining a first-class certificate from that institution for practical engineering, we have no doubt but that before long the Charlottetown Engineers will become one of the most proficient corps in the whole Dominion.

The Power of the Nihilists.

The following interesting paragraph is taken from the Springfield Republican,

Russian exile now living in Westfield, has been frequently able to give ‘‘inside news from Russia: ‘*When the Czar entered the first evening into his chamber in Moscow, before the coronation, he congratulated himself upon his escape from all danger. Just then his eye feil upon a large sheet of paper, upon which he fuund the following lines : ‘*Think not, son of your father, that you are out of the reach of all harm, or that the power of the re- volutionists is broken. We promise you that nothing will befall you during the festi- vals at Moscow; but in our power you are as fully now as formerly. Should you doubt our words of warning, then send your police to eighty-one and eighty-two Twerskaia street, and let them report what they shall find. This was done, and the report was that the two houses were under- mined in their rear and charged with dynamite, but no fuse was laid. Had an explosion taken place at the right moment, the houses would have fallen upon the Czar and all the grand dukes and visitors ; not one could have escaped, as the line of march was in front of the houses.”

The entire command with the prisoners is now encamped on Silver Creek about 60 miles south of Tombstone. Not one of Gen. Crook’s command was lost during the campaign.

Intelligence has been received of the existence of famine in the Kurdish districts of Asia Minor. Many persons have died from starvation. Grain is selling at six times the usual price

Mr. Gladstone accepted a resolution pro- posed by Lord Claude Hamilton, and sup ported by Conservatives and Parnellites, in favor of an early revision of purchase clauses of the Land Act, for the purpose ef giving fuller effect to the intentions of Par- Lament.

The trial began at Paris, on the 12th, of Marshal DeKays and seventeen others, charged with manslaughter in despatching four old sailing vessels to the island of Port Breton, in Oceanica, with emigrants, most of whom died on the passage there or after arrival, from hunger and disease.

The scientific expedition sent out .by the United States Government in March last to observe the total eclipse of the sun at Carolina Island, in the South Pacific, has returned to San Francisco. The weather was perfect for observing, and the result is a great success. Several good photographs of corona and spectrum’ were obtained. The supposed planet Vui-an could not be found.

In the Commons, on the 12th inst., Mr, Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ireland, stated that the body of Jury, the Dublin hotel keeper, whose death, it was reported, was caused by poison administered by In- vinciblas, has been exhumed, and that no trace of poison was discovered. Mr. Tre- velyan also stated that Peter Tynan (No. 1) had boasted, after the death of Jury, that he had poisoned him, and no doubt this was generally believed among the Invin- cibles.

A wind storm occurred last night, 12 miles north of Abilene, Kansas, and did great damage. Along the line of Dickinson and Clay counties, thirteen houses and barns and stables were blown down, several persons injured and one child killed. The small viilage of Industry, in Clay county, was almost totally destroyed, all but two houses being blown down. It is also reported that Wakefield, Clay county, suffered severely. The storm was accom- panied by rain and hail.

A Berlin despatch, of the 12th instant, says that, after witnessing the trial trip of the ‘Chen Yuen,” the new Chinese iron- clad just built at Stettin, the Marquis Tseng, on the part of China, had an andi- ence with Count Von MHatzfeldt, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The latter had just previously received Baron Von Brandt, German Minister to China, on his return from Pekin. It is stated that Von Brandt has proceeded to Paris. The whole affair is the subject of much comment here. Prince Von Hohenlohe, German ambassa- dor at Paris, is expected to arrive here shortly. The Paris Temps maintains that if a contest occurs between France and China before the ‘‘Chen Yuen” is ready for sea, the vessel must be detained by her Ger- man builders until hostilities have ceased. It is the intention to take the ‘“‘Chen Yuen” to China under a German flag and manned by a German crew.

Trial to come off on Monday.

OF $H& PRISONER,

SumMeERsIp#F, June 15.

The Grand Jury, this forenoon, brought ina True Bill against Roderick Howell, charged with the wilful murder of Thomas Wallace.

The Court-room was well filled with spectators, anxious that the trial should at ounce begin; and Howell was brought into Court and placed in the 'dock——the cynosure of all eyes.

An aged man—well nigh seventy years— with patches of fluffy dark grey hair on each side of a large, broad, bald head; heavy, dark eye-brows, and dull, dark eyes; forehead seamed with wrinkles; figure somewhat squat and puffy,—he does not look like a very bad man. Worse looking men are often seen at large on our streets. One would take him for a cranky, cross old man rather than a really vicious old man.

it is said he has Jong been a kind of butt for the thoughtless boys and more culpable men of the settlement in which he lived; that he has been the object of countless coarse practical jokes, and has long lived a life of exasperation.

Before the Court adjourned for dinner, he was duly arraigned, pleaded ‘not guilty,’ and, at the instance of his counsel, the trial was put off until Monday next.

The case of Daniel Quigley vs. James A. Reid occupied the attention of the Court during the greater part of the day. Davies, (). C., for plaintiff; F. Peters for de- fendant.
