E EDWARD ISLAND, WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1878

A telegram to the New York press, dated London, April 16th, quotes from the weekly

review of the Mark Lane Express of Mon- day as follows :—‘‘ The general tenor of the agricultural reports is distinctly satisfactory as regards wheat and spring corn crops, and it is very seldom that advices from the rural districts as to weather, work and crops re- cord so few complaints as at present. political affairs unsettled, holders of foreign wheat have been content to satisfy the re- tail demand. Millers, generally speaking, hold fair stocks. America has furnished

the bulk of imports of wheat into London, |

which, however, have been quite moderate. With fair arrivals at ports of call, the float- ing cargo trade for wheat ruled firm. Prices advanced fully a shilling, apparently owing to the continued political uneasiness.

Disgraceful Treatment of Immi- grants.

A Winnipeg despateh says trouble has arisen between the Militia and Immigration Departments over the use of the barrack

huts at Fort Osborne for tmmigrant fami- lies. Fresh eters were received yester- day evening, revoking the authority to use the huts, but authorizing the issue of mili- tary tents. Mr. Hespler yesterday had the huis cleaned and prepared ready for the arrival of this afternoon’s steamers, Fami- lies now, instead of having the use of a building standing idle, with comforts, such as washouses and laterines, will have to tarry in the mud, as all the hotels are full. There are no sidewalks around the immi- gration sheds, so the discomforts of the new arrivals may be imagined. There is abso- lutely no use at present for the barracks, so the cause of the revocation of the author- ity to use them is inexplicable, as it in- volved no expense.

The Kaministiquia Report.

The Kaministiquia Committee have pre- sented their report to the Senate. It strong- ly condemns the Government in almost every paragraph. It declares that the terminus in the town plot was not judicious- ly chosen. It expresses regret at the mode in which the land was purchased. Lé cen- sures the appointment of a partner of the firm of Oliver, Davison & Co, in connection with the purchases made. It declares that the prices paid to have been exceedingly and unaccountably extravagent.”” The price paid for the Neebing Hotel, it says, was more than an extravagant price, the evident inference being that it was a fraudulent price. It blames the Goyern ment for not submitting Oliver, Davidson & Co’s accounts to examination, and says the Committee find it difficult to believe that those who have so enriched themselves out of the Government had not information in adyance. Those who have read the evi- dence will see that there is not a single finding of the Committee which is not fully borne out by it.— Mail.

Telegraphic News.

Lonvox, May 5.—-Hobart Pasha dined with the Queen at Windsor Castile, yes- terday.

Mr. Gathorne Hardy is to be called to the House of Peers as Lord Oxford. The title of Oxford as an earldom was borne for ages by the great Historic House of the De Veres, and became extinct with them early in the last century. After this the Harleys were created Earls of Oxford and Mor- mere, and the sixth Earl of this race dying January 19, 1353, without issue, the title a second time became extinef.

Monrreat, May 5.—The funeral of John Corrigan, who was shot on Monday night last, took place this afternoon. Ever preparation was made by the Irish Catholic Union, to which deceased belonged, tor a grand demonstration ; but, owing to the in- cessant rain which poured down from early morning, the procession was by no ,ineans so large as anticipated. About ten thou- sand persons tuok part in the procession, all being members of of Irish national socie- ties—the members of the Catholic Union numbering about half of those present. Large crowds of spectators of both sexes lined the windows of the houses along the route.

There was no ill-feeling manifested, and the city to-night wears a peaceable aspect.

New Yorn, May 4.—There have been unusually heavy transactions in copper the past week, supposed to fill carte¢ e con- tracts for Europe. There are ramors of purchased steamships by Russian agents here ; also that a dozen or two English de-

tectives are dogging the footsteps of the ' Rus-ians and Irishmen here and in other cities ; also that the Fenians are holding secret meetings and have got into a wran- gle whether to use dynamite to blow up Montreal and Quebee with, which is said to be O'Donovan Rossa’s sangninary plan, or to wage open .warfare on everything British, by land and sea, which is said to be the plan of one Col. Bourke. .

A Washington despatch says the English Minister, Sir Edward Thornton, is fully aware of all the movementsof Fenians, and that James Cassidy, of Boston, is now near Niagara Bridge, arranging for a movement in case of war with Russia.

Sir Edward Thornton is represented in anvther despatch as saying he does not be- lieve there will be any war, but still thinks

it is well to he fully prepared,

Quebec Elections.

| A Montreal dispatch reports :—There is

i

by the Liberals, but apart from that the

elections must undoubtedly be considered ax

showing the unpopularity of the DeBoucher- | ville Administration. It had managed to | nake itself obnoxious in the cities by the | Railway and Stamp Tax Bills, and these ‘questions, with the promised economy of the Joly Government, were far more im- portant factors in influencing the voting than the constitutional question. On Tues- day evening six of Taillon’s committees were bought over bodily, and to this fact is to be attributed in a large degree his smal! majority over Grenier. Lovell, who carried Stanstead, is a Conservative and a consis- tent supporter of Mr. Colby, the Conser- vative member for the Commons. The Liberals are to-day talking of a evalition, but this the Conservatives will not consent to. The election of yesterday must not be taken as in ary way indicative of how the Province will go at the general election It was simply the unpepularity of the De- joucherville Government which enabled Joly to carry so many seats, but at the Do- minion elections we shall certainly vain back all the constituencies lost yesterday. It is the general opinion here that the Do- minion elections will take place next month, in order that the Liberals may follow up their victories of yesterday, and take ad- vantage of the cheerful spint now prevail- ing in their ranks. The Conservatives are fully prepared for the contest, no matter how soon it comes.

THE MYSTERIOUS VESSEL.

Is she a Russian Cruiser ? SUSPICION THAT THERE ARE OTHER VESSELS WAITING TO PREY ON BRITISH COMMERCE.

Dispatches say that the steamer Cimbria lies quietly at anchor at the South-West

Harbour. There has been little or no ecom-

munication with the shore, except the pur- chasing of fresh provisions. Some of the Russian officers speak of making excursions inland should the weather clear during their stay. The captain expressed an opinion that the men are destined for the Pacific Coast to man Russian vessels already on the Pacific, and that they are waiting there until it is determined where to land them, and how to send them. Several of the Rus- sian officers have before been on the Pacific Coast. To-day the Russian Commander has been in telegraphic correspondence with the Russian Consulate at New York.

Wasnincton, May 1. Intelligence of the arrival of the Cimbria, off the coast of Maine, has been officially communicated to the Government, but the informant does not furnish details of her presence and pur- poses, which are mere matters of conjec- ture. Several naval ofticers think the movements of the vessel significant, tending to show that, in the event of war between Russia and England, it would be found the Cimbria bas on board both small arms and tive or six rifled guns for naval warfare te prey on British merchantmen, and that the declaration of war would, also donbtless be followed by the announcement that vessels in other parts of the world similiarly equiy- ped and armed by the Russian Government, hitherto unsuspected, had developed into Russian cruisers.

The Russian Minister to the United States is now in New York on business.

Rat.way Reevrations.—From all parts we hear the new Railway Time Table spoken of by a yreat many as being the best and most suitable that has yet been arranged. Still, a good many more are grumbling, and we think with sufficient reason, inas- wiuch as the Superintendent has thought fit deprive some sections of the facilities offered by the Express trains. The Time Table lays dpwn the law as follows ;: “Ex- press Trains wil] not stop at places where time is not entered.” Now, while we con- sider the Time Table far superior to any- thing of the sort that has yet been devised on this Island, we must disapprove of this regulation. Why not stop at any station where passengers are waiting’ The delay is momentary, and the Stations thus de- nied are very few. Letween this and Mt. Stewart there are only three stations at which the Express will not stop to take up passengers. There are also nine stations between Souris and Mount Stewart. It is not improbable that a very large portion of the residents in these sections would trayel by rail to market if an opportunity of doing so was atforded them—because the Express Trains run during the imiddle of the day, when people would have a chance of marketing in the towns and villages. For example, take Baldwin's station. The Ex- press Train sweeps past there and leaves a crowd of passengers standing on the plat- ferm, while at the next stopping places, Peake’s or Perth, there may not be a single passenger. If at any station there are no passengers there is no need of stopping. Then why not have matters arranged so as to enable passengers to take the train at any station? The thing appears. so silly that we are surprised that the authorities ever allowed it to be published. In every other respect we are willing to give the Superintendent credit for having adapted the Time Table to the wants of the people, and we trust that no time will be allowed to -_ without haying this error corrected, ¥ er BX t, Advertiser,

no doubt that money has been freely used.
