Schooner Orion, of Grand Banks Went down and Nineteen Perished.
Nonrir Svnrusv, N. S , Nov. 5-All hope
of ever seeing the Newfoundland fishing schooner Orion, with ber captain and crew of eighteen souls, has been given up. Ono month ago the schooner was last seen oil’ Battle Harbor, when she was leaving for Grand Banks, her home port. Shortly after the Orion 'sailed o. terrible
southwest gale sprung up which wrought much, havoc to the fishing craft.Sincs then
fierce gales have swept the court. and in one of them the Orion is believed to have
gone down with all hands. The vessel was oivnedly George Buffett of Grand Binks, and commanded by Edward Evans. All the crew, with few except-
ions leave wives and large families. ~
Another schooner came to grief during
last week’s storm, theflshing craft King iihcr,owned by Fred Rowe, of North Sydney. At the time tho Kiiigfisher sue- oee led in making Ki-ily‘s Uove, but after wards parted her cables and was driven hard shore on the beach. The crew reached ashore safely and walked to North Sydney. The vessel is likely a total wreck, and uninsured.
During the blow four vtsseis, lying at
anchor lu North Sydney harbor, had ir. narrow escape from going to the bottom as a result of the Nova Scotia schooner Lily, dragging her anchors, followed im- mediately by the - Gloucester selncr Madam ~ doing likewise. Both crafts crashed into Gloucester' seiners Priscilla Smith and Victoria, and for a time things oolrcl bud. The Priscilla Sinitii had th
_law of her forcgnfl' torii away, side lights demolished, and thc point of hor boom broken. This damage was caused bv the Madam, which escaped urilnjured. The ia-at laden schooner swung] around and crashed into the fiery and was prevented from doing further damage by jamming between the other two crafts.

Dear Mr. Uhlpnianz Mrs James and
myself returned from our Canadian irlp laei. evening. I desire to write and thank you first of all for the part that you con tributed to our enjoyment. We rudi- inany miles on the Intercolonlnl going from Halifax to Sydney and return, and from llulifax to Montreal. We found the “Sydney Flyer” and the “Ocean l_imltid` both to be trains of exceptional excellence
In fact the service compares favorably with the best trains ln_ the Staten Bon of all, in_each instance the trains pulled inr.o their etitlons of destination on time, something that you cannot say about thi innjoriiy nf the trains in this country.
Ifouiid the scenery most picturesque and from an experience covering every statein the Union, it seems to me that that portion of the Maritime Provincr-r covered by your routes are among ihc most enchanting that I have eva r viiitc '.
I take pleasure in cxteridiriiz to you ir _v

Declares Canadian Statesmen Have a Difficult Problem in 'Unifying the Country-There Should be no Provinciaiism--Weld the Races.
Canadian Club for the season, and his theme was the Necessity of Breadth in National Life. Canada, as a nation, he <aifl,vri\s physically broken up into var- `ou.=i|»iii-ts, with racial distinctions, but viii- national spirit was gruwinil. This mu t be developed, and various forces were developing it. The powerof Ottawa was binding the people together, reii,-iiug bodies were having the same c 'ect and
iii the English prov-lures, of couirc, edu. cation was practically the same. Thi homogeneous nature of Canada emphas- ized the necessity of national llfc and It bohooveri stair-ameri to give a policy lr which the elemental principle would be naiionsl,rathrr than local. This policy should he broad and ststesmanlike, dir- voted in the interests of the whole, not a part, s democratic policy that would urilfy the counlry.
There should be no narrow provincial-
isni and there should be escape from sec- tlcnalism. Onzarlo, for example, rich and inielllgont, must feel the necesi-ity, for
geuerosltyand evmpathyroward the resilul the dominion, possessed of broad point of view and uotshut up toiocal intcrcltl.
To men, President Falconer would say, "'i`rarei, examine the dour’nion and by reason of sympathy and intelliiience dis your part to units the lntersstscf the country because the future is full of difii- culty. The problem of welding reno 1 gather must be faced with inteliigenceald sympathy,
