The Fisheries Difficulty.

——

ir is understood in London that the Foreign Office takes Sir Charles Tupper’s hopeful view of the fisheries question, A correspondent says the opinion is generally held in official circles that the time is not far distant when the difficulty will be settled on principles similar to those which under- jie the rejected treaty of 1888.

Winter Navigation.

We have been furnished by Mr. Theo. L. Chappelle with the following information relative to the date of the last trip of winter steamers since 1878. A comparison at the present time will be interesting. It will be noticed that in ong year, 1880, navi- gation was kept open until February Sth. { If the present mild weather continues, we may expect 1889 to break the record :—

1888.—Northern Light left Georgetown on Monday morning, Jan. 9, arriving at Pictou on Thursday the 12th. Left Pictou at 6 a.m., Saturday, l4th, reaching Georgetown at 3.30 p- m., same day. Left Georgetown, on 16th, | at 6a.m., but when within four miles of Pictou Island had to return. On 17th Jan., went to Souris aud laid up.

1887.—Friday,. January 28, Northern Light and Neptune both left Pictou at 6 a. m. Northern Light made Georgetown at 7 p. m., the Neptuue arriving next morning at 6. The Northern Light got to Souris February 3rd, unable to reach Pictou.

1886.—Northern Light arrived at Souris on Wednesday evening, Jan. 27th, having left Pictou morning 26th January, ‘and laid up until February 26th, when she resumed regular trips, reaching Pictou at noon of the 27th.

Trade With the West Indies.

Tue Hoy. Joun McDonatp, who lately returned from the West Indies and British Guiana, delivered an address before the Toronto Board of Trade a few days ago. He referred in detail to his trip and gave a mass of statistics, bearing on the United States trade with the south, which, he said, was away in advance of Canada, with- out reason for its being so. Our destiny, he said, is in our own hands, and not in the hands of any foreign power, however near or however great. Realizing this fully, he felt that if in working it out we were but true to these great underlying principles of truth and righteousness, we had the guarantees not only for a nation’s prosperity, but a nation’s stability. If we were but true to our country and to our- selves, nothing could stand in the way of our progress, nothing could by any possi- bility retard our development. He dealt with the general products of the countries jand the possibilities of building up an ex- tensive trade. What was needed, he said,

communication; second, a direct and inex- pensive cable service; third, a regular and prompt postal service; fourth, an efficient light house service; and, fifth, a new de- parture bringing our merchants, millers, lumber dealers and manufacturers intu direct contact with the great leaders in trade in the various islands and in British Guiana. After a vote of thanks to the speaker the following resolution was passed :—

That the Council of the Board of Trade be instructed to take into consideration the many matters referred to in this report as to the best means of opening up and extending trade with the West India Islands andj at the same time to indicate what steps would be deemed best in approaching the Government in order

to secure these ends, and to report at an early meeting of the Board.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

The Tunnel Acress the Straits. Srr,—I arrived here this morning. After breakfast I started to examine the proposed tunnel across the St. Clair River, between Port Huron, Michigan, U. S. A., and Sarnia, in Ontario, Canada.

This is being built by the St. Clair Tun- nel Company in the interest of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada.

I found the Chief Engineer, Mr. Joseph Hobson, to whom I presentea my letter of introduction from the aan gentle- manly Superintendent of t rand Trunk Railway at Montreal. He was quite ready to afford me every information in his power.

This tunnel is to be threo miles long, in- cluding approaches, twenty-one feet on the inside, so as to accommodate a double broad guage track. The 7 of building is not exactly either the English ér Ameri- can plan, but « mixture of both.

It is to be 23 feet wneer the bed of the river. Atrial boring of six feet has been made under this, so as to test the material with which they may have to contend. This was found to consist of ‘* blue clay,’ Which is somewhatanalgousto Island **brick clay,” but harder. The ** bedrock ” is soft porous limestone, somewhat, also, like Island red sandstone, in its affinity for water, and quite as full of fissures,

Mr. Hobson said, in all tunnelling opera- tions of this nature, water is our greatest enemy, and the thing most to be dreaded. In support of this he quoted the number of years the tunnel across the Severn in Eng- land suffered from this cause. To provide for this, he said, our ‘*‘shield” is so con- ducted that the moment we strike water we can shut it uptight, and it forms a coffer dam. Attached to this we have force pumps of sufficient capacity to pump off the water and keep it under ocm- plete control, and so proceed with our work,

The ‘‘shield” is propelled by two hy- draulic rams of two thousand horse power each, which can also be applied at once, when necessary, for our force pumps.

The tunnel isto be lined with metal throughout. A full description of this is

iven inthe engineering News of New Tork, which figures out the cost at $2,250, - 000 (two million two hundred and fift thousand dollars) to complete the tunnel, portals and approaches.

Atthe present time the work is being pushed forward with erergy, and to-day and since the beginning of the year 135 men have been engaged in excavating on the Canadian side, and 125 men on the United States side.

On the surface the excavation and the sides_will have a slope of one foot to three. The ‘* hopper,” which carries the excava- ted matter to the top, will be about 65 feet. The whole work is to be finished within two years.

The matter of the Northumberland Straits tunnel was then introduced I was quite surprised to find him au-fait in the matter. It appears he has had his at- tention called it as he had a copy of the late survey placed before him. He had. fully examined the data as to the borings, depth of water, nature of the bottom, the dis- tance of 64 miles, etc. He was of opinion the sandstone rock would be quite as good to bore through as the soft limestone,which they would have to contend with.

1 suggested to him I feared the water, on

account of the sponginess of the Island red sandstone, as well as the fissures ‘generally found therein. He replied, these could all be controlled with the water-tight ‘‘shield,” and force pumps as I have already de- scribed. The matter fof ventilation was also gone over, which he dismissed with the remark, ‘**It was the least difficult feature in the whole work.”

I next visited Detroit to make some in-

uiries about the proposed tunnel between Detroit and Windsor. I found surveys and explorations have been made, the requisite legislation procured, but no actual opera- tions had yet commenced. I learned it was the intention of this company, ‘‘ The Canada and Michigan Tannel Co.” to com- mence operations during the present year. When the ‘ Port Huron and Sarnia Tunnel ” is finished, a trip through it will convince anyone willing to be convinced, of the entire feasibility and practicability of building the tunnel! across the Straits of Northumberland.

As you suggested a few days ago, the people of P. E. Island should not be satis- fied until this question is sent to a proper board of enquiry, and by them fully inves- tigated and reported on.

The Parliament of P. E. Island should also see to it that no settlement of this long-standing and most vital question

THE question raised some time ago by Tue Examiner, of how to utilize the Jong winter evenings, has received a practical solution in New Perth. On the evening of the 17th inst., a long series of entertain- ments was brought to a close by a festival which proved one of the most pleasing events of the season. The residence of Mr. John Kaneen waa the scene of the festivities, and though the evening proved unfavorable, the youth and beauty of the community might be seen at an early hour wending their way to the hospitable mansion, ablaze with light, and as the night

wore on,—

‘< rom ilka bore the beams were glancing, And loud resounded mirth and dancing.” As the jovial company gathered around

the festal board, laden with every delicacy, they were not forgetful of the command to be temperate in all things, and after which they continued to ** trip the light fantastic toe,” till the approach of morning. The strictest sobriety prevailed, aud altogether it — ed a most pleasing and interesting event, and forms an excellent illustration of the manner in which the Christian prac- tice can be reconciled with innocent diver- sion. Fun.
