PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, FRIDAY, AP

APH. THE SITUATION. From the Duily Patriot.

CoNnsTANTINOPLE, April 11.

The Grand Duke Nicholas evacuation of Batoum in accordance with the treaty, and hints that non-compliance will result in trouble.

It is said that Bussia has promised Bos- inia to Servia in the event of hostilities. This has made a bad impression at Vienna.

Sr. Pererspure, April 11.

Complications are again feared. The change is said to be owing to speeches in the British Parliament in consequence of alteration in the attitude of the Austrian abinet, and the apparent hesitation of Germany to act as a mediator.

The ‘‘Agence Russe” states that a circular accompanied Gortschakoffs reply inviting England to formulate her proposals.

It is believed at Vienna that it is the in- tention tocome to a separate understand- ing with England, as was attempied with Austria.

Berur, April 4.

In spite of statements to the contrary, it is true that four of the finest steamers of the Hamburg-American packet line have been engaged by the British Government.

Vienna, April LI.

Austria seems to consider Gortschakoff’s answer as satisfactory, and thinks that Engiand can exact no further assurance than is therein contained.

A DIFFICULTY SETTLED.

The difficulty between the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario, in reference to the di- vision of assets at the date of Confeceration, has finally been settled by the Imperial authorities. The decision in favor of Onta- rio on every point. The verdict of the Privy Council will reduce the assets of the Province of Quebec by about $2,000,000.

D. BANKS MCKENZIE.

Mr. D. Banks made an interesting ad- dres to the members of the N. B. Assembly from the floors of the House. He ap- pealed to the members to aid in forming an inebriate asylum at St. Andrews and en- larged on tha value of such an institution. Mr. Ryan, of Albert, was in the chair, and at the close a vote of thanks was meved by Dr. Dow seconded by M. Willis, and was heartily rendered.

NORTHERN LIGHT.

The ‘‘ Northern Light” landed her mails at Cariboo on Saturday forenoon, after beat- ing about the straits for several days. She found great difficulty in threading a way among the floating heavy ice, being appar- ently as ill-adapted for that purpose, as for making her course through the solid fields. During the winter, the mails have been car- ried by the ice-boats, and as the service has been remarkably regular, that means of communication will probably be regularly adopted. — Pictou Standard.

MOUNTED POLICE.

A Battleford correspondent of a Western paper says :—‘‘ There is another we would like to see your attention turned to—the North-West Mounted Police. You are constantly having forced on your notice stories of valour and daring, given as evi- dence of these men’s great worth. Disabuse yourself at once. Whatever this force may have been in the past, it is now sunk into an unruly, ill-disciplined mob. Every un- lawful disturbance which Battleford has ever known almost, has been identified with whiskey rings, gambling, and kindred insti- tutions, until now they are a thorough nui- sance in the place.” Can this be true of a force that costs us $350,000 a year?

SIR JOHN AND THE GOVERNMENT.

Sir John is coming out strong i the role of L’homme qui rit. In the very fulness of contempt, he takes up one Minister after another and laughs at him. Now, it is Mr. Laflamme who is led a dance ‘‘ throngh bush and through briar,’ by the tricky spirit of the hour. Now it is Mr. Macken- zie §who gets nonplussed first and then | laughed at. I have given some incidents of the spirit of fun which possesses Sir John. Last night, after most of the **press,” bar- ring the reporters, had left the gallery, it was Mr. Laurier’s turn to get laughed at, Never did Sir John show himself more able and more ready than this session. He is by turns more practical than the Premier, a better lawyer than Blake, a better financier than Cartwright, a better wit than Rymals a dozen, a better master of ‘order’ 4*)an! Holton. Bright as a shilling, smar: ..a young Frenchman of parts, eloquent, fuily| informed, brimful of tact, and conscious of the advent of power, Sir John seems to sport with the Government, and treat them lightly, as men who must pass away so soon, that ’tis a waste of strength to make a gen-! eral aitack.—-Correspondence of Hx. Herald. | } i

CARTWRIGHT’S TRADE POLICY.

This isthe way the writer of Current Events, in the last Canadian Monthly, criticizes Mr. Cartwright and his trade policy :—

“Mr. Cartwright has gone out of his way to prove that he has completely emancipated him- self from the pestilent theory of Protection. Wherever he fancies an increased duty might

;

| by any possibility foster a nascent industry, he |

is sure to shun it as he would the plague. Even where it is a matter of indifference, from

|

demands the |

'arevenue point of view, upon which of two commodities a new or increased impost be placed, he is sure to choose the raw material or the article we cannot produce in Canada, rather than that which, by judicious protec- tion, might prove the source of a flourishing manufacture, increasing the wealth of the ‘country and affording new openings for the employment of both capital and labor. In- deed, one would suppose the Finance Minister to cherish the settled conviction that manu- | factures are absolutely a hindrance to national prosperity and the accumulation of wealth, so violently is he opposed to their successful in- troduction or extension in Canada. His policy is not only unpatriotic but absolutely disloyal. It has made us dependent on the United States, so far as fiscal legislation can effect that result, and is, as fast as possible, paving the way for annexation to that country.” * * *

THE PENITENTIARIES OF CANADA.

The report of the Minister of Justice on the penitentiaries of Canada is at hand. It states that they have been satisfactorily administered during the past year, and that discipline has been well maintained. The number of convicts increased during the last six months of the fiscal year by 33. The total number of convicts in the tive Domin- ion penitentiaries on the Slst Dec., 1876, was 1,048 and on the 30th of June, 1877, 1,081 and they were thus distributed :

3ist Dec., 20th June

1876. 1877. Kingston Penitentiary... .703 695 St. Vincent de Paul *‘ ....182 225 St. John , eo 71 Halifax si 71 Manitoha . 15 1a

1048 1081

The wardens attribute the increase in the numbers of the convicts to the long con- tinued depression.

GOLD MINING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The fourth annual report of the British Columbia Minister of Mines has been re- ceived and is an account of mining opera- tions for gold, coal, ete., in that Province. The Minister in the section of his report dealing with gold mining, gives the amounts exported by the banks during the year 1877 as follows : Bank of British Columbia...... Bank of British North America.. (yvaresche, Green & Clo..........

$353,256 16 497,748 65 395, 138 48

$1,206,136 29 Adding one-third for gokh export- ed in private hands...........

402,045 43

Gives a total yield of........... $1,608,182 72

The report says that even the most care- ful and painstaking officer cannot estimate the gold taken out with even an approxi- mation to correctness. The total yield for 1876 was estimated by the Gold Commis- sioners and Government Agents at $980,671; but the banks alone exported more than $350,000 over that amount, and a large sum must be added for gold exported otherwise than through the banks. One-third is the estimate of the gold so leaving the Province; but, at any rate, the returns from the banks are absolutely correct, and afford solid ground for estimating the total yield. The following table shows the estimated yield of gold, the number of miners employed and their average earnings per man, per year from 1858 to 1857 -—

The Transatlantic Steamers.

The entire number of steamers plying regularly between this country and Europe is 182. 125 of these (377,905 tons) are British 5 (15,798 tons) American ; 10 (39,- 325 tons) are French; 3, (96,395 tons) German ; 10 (26,427 tons) Dutch. Total tonnage of all, 556,850 tons. During the first nine months of 1877 the swiftest pas- sages were made by the steamers of the In- man Line, which averaged 8 days, 20 hours and 36 minutes. —Quehee Chronicle.

The Moylan ‘Matter.

Says the Toronto Mail :—‘‘ Mr. Dymond must be very provoking to those who ride after him, for he invariably gives ery on a false scent. Not merely is he misleading, his zeal outruns discretion. The Moylan scandal has collapsed like others, by which it was sought of late to damage Sir John Macdonald, and we are sorry to say the member for New York has shown an ani- mus which reflects on his fairness a very sinister ight. * * * His mind is dark with wild, foundztionless suspicions of his opponents, and animated by motives of the character of which he is himself, perhaps, well aware, he seems ready to do shabby acts, go in dirty slippery places, pull very ticklish chestnuts out of the fire, and gen- erally prove himself at once the maid of all! work and the handy boy—not to say ready imp—of an unarupulons Government, at once malicious aad desperate. Though he has now had much practice, he is not an experienced artisi. He has not the art to conceal artfulness; he shows the cloven hoof—and what a hoof and what a cleft therein !

“* Take his con luct in regard this Moylan matter. He presents a report to the Com- mittee, written tefore all the evidence was taken, in which he coolly anticipated what the Hon. Wm. Macdougall would say. In order to see the enermity of such conduct the reader has cnly to fancy a judge pre- paring his charge to a jury before he had heard all the ev.dence. We have heard of hanging men first and trying them after- wards. This is the sort of justice Mr. Dy- mond would fain mete out to a man whose breast, as Mr. Gladstone said of Lord Rus- sell, were decorations given for political services, would be covered with stars. This Moylan enquiry has proved to Mr. Dymond a boome . {t has not hurt Sir John Macdonald. On the other hand it has re- coiled on the meraber for North York in a manner that gives the coup de grace to any political character he had left.”

Extraordinary Development.

SPECIMEN BRICKS.

Wuewn the Grits fall out (of power), what revelations there will be! The underhand- ed deceit and hypocrisy of the ‘‘party” are well illustrated by the following develop- men: The Toronto Globe's Ottawa corves- pondence, having become false and malig- nant in its treatment of Parliamentary matters, and especially of Opposition mem- bers, the Globe, as a concession to public sentiment, dismissed the correspondent, one Carroll Ryan. This Mr. Ryan, it appears, is not contented to remain dismi with- out rising to explain; and moved thereto by statements made in Parliament by Mr. Dymond, of the (#lobe staff, who assured the Commons that he had nothing whatever ta do with the Ottawa telegrams and ccrre- spondence of the Globe, Ryan has cast light on the whited sepulchre known as the oe newspaper. Ina letter to the Ottawa Free Press, after assuming full responsibility for the paragraph which led to his dismissal, he remarks :—

** By that article | forfeited my ition on the Globe. But what will the members of the House of Commons think, what will any hon- | orable man think, when I state that, while _ Mr. Dymond was declaiming in the Honse of Commons against the article I wrote, while he ‘was assuring the House that he was not the

Globe correspondent, he was actually | sending to that paper correspondence signed ; by my name, of which 1 had no know- ledge whatever! And this correspondence, be | it remembered, in several instances reflected | upon members of the House of Commons, and |} was responsible for it. Mr. Dymond has

been pleased to draw aside the veil of journal-

astic imperscnality, and as I have been the ' first victim I feel compelled, in the wterests _of the profession and in the vindication of my | personal honox, to publicly imform the House | of Coramons that, in making the statement he did shortly after the opening of Parliament,

Mr. Dymond was guilty of a deliberate per-

version of the truth He declared (* vide

Hansard pp. 324-5”) that he did not control the

Glo/e reporters. Certainly not ; but he wrote , over another man’s name, and thus endeavor- Should any doubt be cast on the accuracy of my statement, the Montreal Telegraph Company is in posses- sion af Mr. Dymond’s despatches, signed * Ryan,’ which I never saw.

This is quite in keeping with Mr. Dymond’s tactics throughout, and is an interesting revela- tion in connection with the Giohe’s manage ment.
