BREACH OF HOSPITALITY |
‘Tre request of the Government of the United Stares that Senor Du Bose and Lieutenant Carranza should be sent out of Canada, because of an alleged violation of the laws of neutrality, seems, for the nonce, to have caused Sir Wilfrid Laurier to lose hie reason aud his manhood. These Spanish gentlemen have ordered out of the Domiown of Canada on mere representation of the United States. There seems to have been no investigation of the facts, At to their conduct while enjoying Canada’s hospitale
been the
the worst, as
ity, their guilt seems to bave consisted in the « riting, by Lieutenant Carranza, of a fooli«h private letter which was del:ber - ately stolen out of bis room and placed in possession of tne United States Govern- ment. We feel sure that the good feeling and manbood of the people of Canada wil! resent this hasty and senseless breach of hospitality on the part of their Govern- ment. hitiapiacieieneiiit aia ieeaiatiialiainsnines
REDUCED PASSENGER RATES.
Mr. D. A. McKixson is to be credited with having submitted tothe Board of Trade the question of a reduction of pas- senger rates on the P. E. Island Railway. We the Beard of Trade will press the matter upon the attention of the Minister of Railways and the General
trust that
Suyerintendent. This isan important question to which Tue Examiver has repeatedly called attention. We have
lately seen a reduction of fares on the C. P. R.and Grand Trunk railways fol lowed by so great increase in the volume of paseenger travel that the receipts of those railways were well main- tained. That is to say, while the railways lost pothing as a result of the reduction, the public gained greatly. We are con~ convinced that alike result would fullow @ subdstantial redaction of fares in this Province,
This Province is pertquare mile of its area the most thickly inhabited part of Cana la. But the people do not, a rule, go by rail, simply because it pays them better to use their horses and carriages to to travel short dietances and because the
an
as
cost between the more distance pointe is SO creat that only a few can afford it. In this connection it is to be remarked that the distance by rail is considerably greater than by roai. For instance, to George~ towa the distance from Charlottetown by rai! ie 46 miles and by road 30 miles, a difference of 16 miles ; to Summerside the distance by rail is 49 miles and by road 40 mile- ; to Souris the distance by rail is 60 miles and by road 52 miles.
If spevial rates were made for long distances as between Tignish and Alber- ten, Souris and Georgetown, and Char- lottes rates for short dis- ee were reduced a third, a greatly in
wn, and if the
$4 . Gul
creased amount of travel wotild, we believe, be induced. The chance is at all events, worth taking. Let a trial be mace. In sparsely seitled districts, as
for iustance in some parts of the North-
west and British Columbia, the rates of railway fare are increased; and why not decreased where the population is compara-
tive!'y dense as in P. E. Island? - —_—
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
— General Blanco, they say, is of Scotc.
descent. So the warts not over yet.
— Tue EXAMINER’S statement of the net debt of Canada on the 30th June, 1896, and the 30th June, 1898, was based on the telegram of tae Ottawa correspondent of the Montreal Gazette, who is usually cor- rect. But as there has been a mistake in this regard, we withdraw that part of the article on the debt of Canada.
-—}he London Times’ conclusion from the destruction of the torpedo boats and
other incidents at Santiago is that the will continue to be thechief naval
gun weapon. It may_be added,says the Montreal
Gazetie,that,the guns with the best aad the best irained men i ehind them, will be the best. The man, to day, as in the past, is more than the machine.
~The Montreal Gazette remarks that “as one resultof the war the woman's movement—as women’s tuik about their own importance in the world is called — hax all but disappeared from the columns of the newepaper press. When work isto be dove men move upto their proper place.” A more correct statement would be that when work such as that in Cuba is to be done, women retire to their proper sphere of employment. niusienebdtiteeelinainniaaitien

THE DAILY EXAMINER,* CHARLOT
THE BRITISH WORLD.
Tr is a significant sign of the times that there is now published in the midet of Chicago a high-class journal called the British World, devoted to the eocia! and commercial interests of British- Americans and having for its device the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes crossed, with the dove of peace bearing an olive branch between the two fage. Regarding this device one of the contribu- tors to the British World remarks:
literary»
‘What abeantiful picture the Union Jack aud Old Glore make, crossed as they are in your supplement. What a world of
power and influence lies hidden in that union. Power to uphold the right and crush the wrong; influence to bless the
world with peace, liberty and prosperity, or crush it beneath the load of an increased militarism. Power tobe exerted with judgment and gentleness; influence to be exercised in the intereste of truth and righteousness, or in the stupid scramble for military glory and enlarged possessions, Let us hope and pray chat naught but blessings -hall follow the coming together in friendly greeting of the embleme of the two branches of the same family, long separated by the stup dity, ignorance, pride and prejudice ot both sides.”
Io the same issue the editor combats Great Britain desires an alliance with the United States only because she has no friends on the
tle prevalent potion that
continent and because she fears a Euro- pean combination against her and says :
“If Great Britain is envied and hated by the European powers, it is not because of ber colonial policy, but because she bas stood apart and refused to take the risxs of European quarrels. If she is without allies, it is because she has refueed al- hances. If she is isolated, it is because of a wise determination to remain ‘foot free’ and ready fur all coutigencies. ‘In spite of the jaundiced prognostications of a few hypocondriacal politicians, the British em- pire was never stronger and more secure than at the present moment, nor was there
ever & time when an __ aliiance of any kind was less needed by the British people. Great Britain bas
carried out every policy, completed every conquest she considered necessary to her safety or her honor, and she has done so — notably in the case of Egypt~—in defiance of the threats and frowns of the European world, and time has abundantly justified her actions and silenced her en- emies. British statesmen neither ask or require an alliance with this country that will necessitate us fighting her battles or her wars, All that is necessary between us andthe mother covntry isa treaty cf arbitration that shall insure perp? tual peace between us, by providing @ court which shall dispose of all d'ficulties that may arise between ua ina legal aad peace- ful manner. The great wave ot sympathetic affection in favor of this country which is uow sweeping over the entire Eng- ligh speaking world, is simply the result of race ties, an upraising of the deathlesa love of the motherland for her great and pros— psrous offspring, and ought to bea matter of intense eatisfaction to every lover of bis | ecuntry,”* I
it is pleasant to reed such words as
‘hese in an American publication, and we eincerely trust that the honest aud ktodly feeling which inspires them will spread al] over the Great Republic and throughout the English-speaking wor'd,

Montreal Gazette: The Govern ment’s friends are making much fuss over the million dollar surplus claimed on the operutions of last year. They are so elated over the book-keeping fiction that they forget the $4,000,000 increase of the debt, which is a reality.
St John Sun: The appointment of William Ogilvie tc the position of chief commissioner for the Yukon district is a good one. Mr, Ogilvie was sentto the Yukon by the late government, He worked there several years, locatiug gold lauds,arbi- trating disputes, marking cut claime and surveying districts, Finally he came out of the country without having he!d ag interest in a single claim or gained a dollar | out of the gold boom.

Reduction of Fares on P. E. Island’ Railway.
The regular quarterly meeting of the Charlottetowa Buard of Trade was held | last eveuing,—the President im the chair.
Che following men bers were balotied ! ‘or and elected, viz.. W. W. Wellner and Robert Jeukius.
Mr. D. A. McK pnnon introduced question of tue rete of passenger fares on tne P. E. Ielaud Railway.
After some discussion the following. resolution was pas+ed :
“Revolued that in he opinion of the Bourd of Trade the passenger rates on the P. E. Ieland Railway are eo higb, ip view of distance to be travelled between the

different points, and so muchin excess of the cost of travel by horse aud carriage, that our farmers are prevented trow the
the first class reduced, and a
use of the road, and that passenger rate should be
second class passenger return tick et afforded; further, that our Province being ~=much more populous, ac- cording 'o its area, than any
other krovince in Cansda,a reduction of fares would probably terd, Lot only to proportionately greater advantage on the part of the public, but to better financial results on the part of the railway.”
In convection with this matter, attention was direcied to the return fare of $3 00 charged on the Steam Navigation Com- pany’* steamer running between Char- lotretcwn and Picton; bat no action was taken. Board adjsursed.

NIOBE A SUCCESS.
Mr. Harkins’ Company Make the Hit of the Season.
burst upon the eye of the (pera House | patrons yesterday as Niobe, the one time wife of Amphion and queen of Thebe., ! stepped down from the pedestal and moved | With infinite grace to the footlights. And whet a budget of langbable complications | evsued! the audience laughed, and smiled andsmiled again in perfect glee. The fun was as innocent as it was uproar- jour; it was on novel liner, too, that caugit | the ladies as well asthe gentlemen. Mr. Harkins’ evidently knew what he was do- ing when he kept back this play to end his St. John seascn in triumph.
The curtain was called up at the close of «very act and the applause at times actually suspended for minutesthe pro- gress cf the play. The cast was all that colud be desired. Miss Eaton filled the role of Nicbe magniticently, combining the dignity cf the goddess with the eweet tender grcce of amost lovable mortal. The fun centered around Mr Hawking, the Peter Amos Dunn of the play, who stumbled from one falsehood to another in his un- ' lucky efforts to allay the jealousy of his pretty wife (Miss Mollison), egged on as 1° was by her elderly maiden sister,(Miss La Gros) His efforts to measure the revivified Niobe for modern garments was a mst amusing bit of acting.
One who fails to enjoy this fantastic comedy must be hard indeed to please. The verdict of yesterday’s two bumper bouses is that Niobe is as dainty as it is fetcbiog. What more could avy manager expect ?—St. Johu Telegraph.
