The New York Star, which is edited by ex-Crovernor Dorsh ner, A pers na! and political friend of the President, says :
‘*' There ts « good deal of soundness in the Canadian case on the tisheries question. The provincial authorities are simply enforcing the law as they interpret it. They say that out people must not fish within the “three mile limit, and that they must not land to buy bait or Ice, That is the way most ” com. mon sense people would read the treaty ot ISIS, but the New Eng land fishermen have discovered some com- mercial statutes which are in the nature of a

When the Kootenay railway, which is to. be constructed within a year, is completed, still richer mimes will be made operative. Cattle from the Kamloops grazing district are how ship sped to the coast for consump- tion, and a train load of a week has been brought from the mountains to Cal- sary, where sales have been made. Cal- gary, which now boasts a population of tw: thousand, is becoming a cattle Seteibesling centre for the North-West. A gentleman writing from there says that in a short walk he counted two hundred houses in course of erection within the city. A trade in fresh
catile
salmon between British Columbia and the East is being opened, The company is putting on six refri- gerator cars to carry the fish. Five
thousand pounds of fresh salinon have ready been despatched to Toronto, and i,200 cases of canned salinon are mentioned is having been taken from one cannery for shipment East. British Columbia lumber is now being taken out in large quantities in places where it was formerly,for m: irket- able purposes, valueless. While the Pacitie coast is shipping largely to the East, the East is also shipping West. The town of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, sends sugar to the foot of the Rockies, and it has forward- ed forty car loads of Canadian-made_ rope and binding twine to Manitoba and the Northwest. Formerly British Columbia imp vorted Oregon flour exclusively. Mani- toba is now bec ‘oming the source a supply. A week ago 20,000 pounds of butter were shipped from Wi innipeg to Vancouver. Linseed oil was last year sent from England via San Francisco to British Columbia. Last week 2,441 gallons were ordered from Montreal to pass west by the Canadian Pacific to the Pacific coast. Vancouver.the new Pacific city, has now, notwithstanding the fire, an assessed value of $2 700,000. and buildings are going up in all directiéns. Coming east we find that near Banff, where the National park and the hot springs are, anthracite coal has been found; also that coal mining in the Bow River dis- trict is to be prosecuted more energetically than hitherto, and that there is to be a re- duction of $1.50 or $2 on last year’s prices Besides the cattle raising business carried
on on the ranches, sheep farming is being entered upon. Last week four thousand merino grades were driven from Montana.
Stock yards are to be built at Winnipeg and a large cattle business something after the character of that done by Chicago is ex- pected there. Already Western cattle have passed through from the pra‘ries to England. Considerable progress has been made with the branch lines in Manitoba this year. Port Arthur has become a wheat port and is developing into a fine town. Sault Ste. Marie will next year be on a main line of railway running from Minneapolis to Montreal. One hundred miles of the Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie and Atlantic road from Minneapolis east have been built and are in operation, and the branch from the Canadian Pacific rail- way main line to the Sault is being rapidly pushed forward. In the Nipissing district the railway has opened a new lumbering region iwo millon feet of timber have “aiken out this year by the Canadian Pacitie railway. New settlewents have also been opened in this district. Seveateen ‘nndred families, for example, have settled i between the Mattawa and Cartier depots. | Elsewhere-along the line of. the railway colonization has progressed. East of Win- nipeg French-Canadians from Quebec and New England have settled, and near the Turtle Mountains people from Labrador and the north shore of the Gulf have been located. Thriving settlements of Germans, Scandinavians and Hungarians have been planted on the Qu’Appelle river. The Cal- gary district has received a large influx,and

THE L. HOULZTT.
A Visit to the Cutter. Talk with ihe Captain aad Crew
Tue Examiner's reporter at Georgetown visited yesterday the cutter L. Houlett, which enjoys the credit of seizing the first schooner captured this year in the act oi fishing within the limit. He found the cutter a handsome craft, everything appear- ing neat, clean and orderly, and the bear- ing of her officers and crew highly credit- able. The L. Houlett was built at Port Medway. register, carries two topmasts, and is a fast sailer. She was fitted out for this service at Halifax, and sailed from there on the 20th May last, and the first of July was cruising in Chebucto Bay and around Cape Breton. Since July Ist she has been on the north side of Prince Edward Island, in the vicinity vf Malpeque, Cascumpec and Rustico, and was most’all the time in the midst of 40 to 113 sail of American seiners. The crew say that Captain Lorway has been indefati- gable in his exertions te protect the coast, and that they have net had the e wy time the newspapers make out they had. Capt. Lorway, .the commander, says he has boarded in all between 190 and 200 Ameri- can fishermen, and was always treated with civility and courtesy by ali the American skippers, whom he found willing to obey any orders given them. Captain Lor- way is a native of Cape Breton, 46 years of age, and stands about 6 feet 3 inches. He is a pleasant, gentlemanly man, with a de termined look. He has followed the sea for 30 years. His first officer, Mr. Hughes,
is a native of Digby, and a passed master,

Earthquakes.
The succession of earthquakes of a des- tructive character in Java, New Zealand, Greece, and now in Charleston, South Car- olina, serves to recall to mind the many alarming catastrophes arising from like cause. From 500 years. before the Chris- tian era but a brief space cf years has at any time elapsed withous a destructive earthquake. But of these earlier shocks only brief mention is authentically re- corded. In the year 79 A. D., Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried in lava and ashes, accompanied by an earthquake. In 742 an awful earthquake in Syria destroyed 500 towns with loss of life beyond compu- tation. In 1137 cecurred the memorable earthquake at Catania, when 15,000 per- sons were buried in the ruins. In Syria and adjoining countries in 1158 there per- ished 20,000 persons. The great earth- quake in Calabria, in which cities were overwhelmed, occurred in 1186. In 1268 Cilicia was shaken, and 60,000 persons swallowed up. In 1318 occur- red the greatest earthquake known in England. At Naples in 1456, 40,000° per- sons were killed. In 1531 Lisbon suffered and 30,000 were buried in the ruins. In Naples, in 1626, an earthquake destroyed 70,000 lives. This was followed twelve years later by the awful earthquake in Calabria. Sicily suffered in 1693 when more than 100,000 lives were lost. In the early part of the eighteenth century, Aquila, in Italy, was destroyed in 1703,
with a loss of 5,000 lives; in the same year Yeddo, Japan, was shaken into ruins with
a loss of 200,000. In 1706; 15,000 perished in an earthquake at Abruzzi, and in 1716, at Algiers, 20,000 were killed In 173], at Pekin, China, 100,000 persons were swallowed up. The latter part of the century was equally noted for destructive earthquakes. In 1754, at Grand Cairo,40,000 were killed; in the following year Quito was destroyed; Kaschan, Persia, had 40,000 swallowetl up, and im Lisbon, in the. brief space of eight minutes, about 50,000 per- sons were destroyed. Thousands perished from the same shock in other parts of Portugal, Spain, Morocco and Maderia.
Syria suffered in 42 59 losing 20,000 people.
Santiago was engulfed in 1773. Fifteen thousand houses were thrown down at Tauris and m:dtitudes buried in 1780. In 1797 the whole country between Santa Fe and Panama owas destroyed, including Cuzco and Quito, 40,000 persons being buried in a second.
‘The present century has had its full quota of earthquakes. In 1812 an awful succession of shocks eceurred at Caraccas in which 42,000 met their death. Aleppo wa
siroyed by ai. earthquake in 1829
with 20,000 people. In 1851, in Séuth italy, 14,000 persons were engulfed. Calabria, with only a_ population of six
millions, had lost 110,000 in seventy-five years by earthquakes, and was depleted of 10,000 in 1857. Corinth was nearly de- stroyed tie following year, and Quito lost 5,000in 1859. - In 1868 a number of towns in Peru and Eeuador were destroyed, with 26,000 lives, and 30,000 more were rendered homeless. San Jose, Columbia, was destroyed in 1875, with 14, 000 lives. There have been many shocks since, but none so destructive as these inJava and New Zealand. In fact, sinee 1850 not a single year has passed without some loss of Life being recorded from earthquakes. Apparently the subter- ranean forces lose none of tueir strength or activity as the world grows older, among the dangers of the furure must be reckoned the ¢hances of being badly shaken and perhaps swallowed up. But experience has shown that destructive earthquakes
and
have been mainly eonfined hitherto within 'the belt extending ierty degrees north~ and stuth of the equator.— “st. John Tadeyragph.
