7 My % THE DAILY EXAMINER. DAILY EXAMINER. MAY 4, 1893. THE Notes and Comments. —The people of Orwell and vicini y con- tinue to complain bitterly concerning the scandalous wanner in which they are being treated in the matter of steambuat accom- modation. A correepondent in today’s in issue gives some idea of the hardships they have to undergo. —In connection “ith the investigation being made by the Engineering and Mining Journal, of New York, in regard to the amount of foreign capital invested in the Uniced States, the report of the Union Pacitic Railroad is of material interest. Among other things it states that of its capi tal stock 171 975 shares are held in New Eng- and, 217,330 in New York, 175,975 in Eng- land, end 201,088 in Europe. The smount held in England shews a decrease of 13,700 shares over the amount held last year. —The Montreal Herald summarizes the first and chiet object of the coming grit con- vention as follows ; ‘‘To establish between all members of the party the most cordial under- standing as to the details of the p>licy of the party.” The Empire says: Such an aim is wise as it will be found difficult. A pclicy will first have to be found, then harmonized with the utterly unpatriotic, reckless and con- flicting wings of the organization, while mean- time its leaders are quarrelling over condi- tions generally and endeavoring to unite ‘machine politicians” like Edgar and Charlton with serenc-souled statesmen Jike Mercier and Tarte. —A large number of residen's of Ulster belonging to the Presbyterian and Unitarian denominatious repudiate the res lution in opposition to Irish Home Rule which was sent to Lord Salisbury in the name of, and as representing the opinions ot, the Protest- ante of Ulster. These Home Rule Protest- ants have therefore caused a communication to be sent to Prime Minister Gladstone, expressing confidence in Mr. Gladstone and hia policy in regard to Ireland, Mr. Giad- stone has sent a reply to the communication in which he states that he is pleased to observe the existence of such an enlightened opinicn as that held by his correspondents amid the sea of violence and intolerance at Belfast. —The reports of French Cansdians re- turning this spring from the United States are becoming more interesting day by day. During the present month some twenty one families are reported at the St. Hyacicthe, Que., cu‘tom house as having returned from thé New England States, and the col lector at that place estimates the correct number at a much higher figure than that given above. The returning Canadians re- port that profitable woik is very rare now in the manufacturing centr.s of Massachu- setts and other states, consequently these people have decided to either remain in Quebec proviuce or direct their footsteps to- wards the fertile plains of the Canadian Northwest. —A vo'ca comes from South Africa vig orously denouncing Mr. Goldwin Smith Says The Damond Field's Advertiser cf January 21: “Mr, Goldwia Smith, 8» cordially wel- comed by Canada a few years ago, is the near- est approach tan inciter of * unf-iendly re‘aliation’ that the Dominion cau bring upon the stage. The versatie professor has so persistently preached th» doctrine of U. 8. annexa joa that even his strongsst admirers in South Africa, as wel! asin Eaoglani, feel is clined to se-ept the verdict of Lord Beacons. tield that *‘Goldwin Smith ia a wild mao of the cloister. going about matliz-ing mea and things.’ We have no Goldwia Smith iu South Africa, otherwise we might fiad him some morning advocating the annexation of the Cape Colooy to the Transvaal as an absoluteiy ne- cessary outcome of economic and productive development.” ~The Boston Herald says : “The debt of Cauada is so large and her means of paying is so ema!l that it ie not put- ting it too st: ong to call ber a bankrupt coun- try. And yet her finaccial institutions have the eublime assvrance to refuse to aceept our ourrency at its face value. Such inspudence from such @ source at once paral, zss{credulity and fatigues digestion,” Commenting upon this onslaught of the Herald, the St. John Sun says : ‘This scolding can no more improve the reputation of the United States’ silver certifi- cates than they can irjare the good credit of Canada, That these certificates represent an attempt to obtain money on fa'se pretences and should not be accepted at their face value, should not tax Boston credulity, for Boston has seen the day when it would gladly give some three dollars in United States’ notes for one dollar in gold.” —The Montreal G-zette points out that the adverse turn of the balance of trade against the United States continaes to be shown hy these figures of the bureau of statistics : The total export of breadstuffs for the month of March were $13.886,000; for the corresponding month of 1892 they $23,072,000—a falling cff for the month of $9,206,000. For the nine mouths ending March, 1893, the exports of bread:tutfs were $145,032,00@; for the correspond- ing vine months ‘in the previous fiscal your they were $233,159,000—a fall- ing off this year of $88,127,000 The de- crease in the exportation of hog, beef and dairy products has beeen almost equally marked. For the month of March last the exports of thes» products were $8 231,000; for the correaponding month of 1892, $11,- 623,000 —a falling off of $3,292,000. For the nine months ending March 31, the ex ts of these products were $27,300,000; jor the corresponding nine mouths of the previous fis-al year, $33,983,000—a falling off of $6,683,000, FOUR WEN DROWNED. ete eee Maneey Irving avd Threz Others: icsioen | Drowned at Cape Trav- erse This Morning. | | {Special to Toe ExaMINer | A vad accident happened off Bell's Point, | Cape Tr verse, this morn nz Muncey | Irving and three of his fishermen went out to move a boat that they considered too near the rocks, and after get- ting to the boat and hoisting the saii the boat in some way filled and sak, taking all on board with it.

LATES) BE RE- Tue interest in the poisoning case con- tinues unabated There has been a great demand for THe EXAMINER ever since the case began. ‘The sales during the pist few days have been the greatest in the history of the paper, even eclipsing the highest mark made during the M:llman and Weeks- Sutherland trials It is very evident that the issuing of special elitious of the p-per in order that the latest and most important news might be given the public on time is appreciated. This morning officer Campbell left for St. Joho, N. B., wich the stomach and other internal organs of the poisoned girl for the purpose of analysis by Mr. Best, of that city, who w'l be remembered in connection with the Weeks Sutherland case. Yesterday a white powder was found in the room lately oceupizd by Miss Me- Eachern, somewhere about the bed. It was handed to Dr. Johnson for examina- tion and he pronounces it biking soda. A ginger beer bottle coutaining a quantity of gin was also found in the girl’s room. 3oth have been handed over to the Attor- ney-General fhe trial of Larter will be resumed before the Stipendiary Magistrate to morrow morning at ten o'clock. Remember—the auction sale this evening at the Diamond Book- store, Stamper's Block ~~ Unprecedented Drought. NO RAIN IN ENGLAND FOR TWO MONTHS — VEGETABLES DOUBLE IN PRICE, According to a recent despatch from London the weather is the paramount sub ject in pepular interest throughout Europe. Tuesday completed tw) full months since rain has fallen in Paris or London, eave a litue shower one afternoon, which yielded @ juarter of an inch of water ia some parts of the latter city. Euglazd has no recorded paral'el of long drought. France has to go back more than a century and a half, to 1733, to fiad an equal period of dryness. Rain hes become such a phenomenon that people quite enj y reading statistics about it, and in Paris telegrams announcing showers in distant provinces are posted, and scanned with as much interest as news of earthquakes would be. Nobody dares guess what this weary cruel drought is costing England daily, but it must be some portentous sum. If it holds out for another week the loss will reach gigantic pro- portions. London had during the past sixty days for an agg egate of rainfall less than one fifth of aninch, Oxford on Tuesday entered the ninth week with a total rainfall of less than a twelfth of an ins», This is the forty third day without asiugie drop of rain in Hamp. shire. These figures represent something so terribly unprecedented that it is difficuit to grasp their meaning. Many crops are suppos- ed to be irretrievably ruined; the harvest, as a whole, muss be the worst within the mem- ory of living mep, no mitter how soon the unrelenting heavens shall send relief. meet — Poon A Complaiat. £ix,—I cams from Halliday’s Wharf to- day in Batt’stug.

We expected a great deal from the Hon. G orge Forbes. The accommodation last year was deplurabl>, but this year it is worse. McDonald and Forbes were to give usa bridge across the Hillsborough, first class steam service between Charlottetown and Orwell, and efticient picket service to Pin- ette, Flat River, Belle Creek and Wood Is- lands. They failed in ail their p-omises. The conditiov of the steam and packet ser- vice has not been so bad for 25 years as it Is to-day, and no excuse is«ffered. So much aitention has been given to the pay- ment of extras for Alexandria, Morell and other public works that it is evilent that the public funds are exhausted and the Government cannot «fford to give us our just rights Lyird deprived us of our rail- way, and the Peters Forb's comb'nation are curtailing our steam and packet service. Truly we are a long suffering pecple. BeLPast May 4, 1893. Po.ice Court.--This forenoon, Devid Bell, laborer, was fined $40 or 40 days for being drunk and disorde:ly on the streets last evening.

Aveusta, Me., May 2. — The Grand Trunk Railway paid into the state treasury to-day $182,799, being the amount of back taxes, the payment of which the railroad resisted several years. A suit resulted in a verdict for the state in the Supreme Court. Toronto, May 2.—Commissioner Son- tum, to the World’s Fair from Norway, is here. He says the business men of Norway prefer to trade with the Canadians rather than with Americans because of the high tariff prevailing in the United States. Some time ago Norwegian merchants made an wrder for some Canadian farm produce. So encouraging were the results of the experi- ment that several large oxders for Canadian meal, split peas, fluid b\ef, whiskey and other lines have been placéd. Sontum ex- pects that inthe future Canada’s export business with Norway will be largely in- creased. He will meet. Hon. Mr, Foster here to-morrow. MontTREAL, May 2:—R. S. White, M.

All the leading men who were at the meeting in question are life long grits, and they express no sympathy whatever with the chief of the wobblers. Toronto, Oat., May 2.—During the de- bate in the legislature today, as to the feaaibility of adopting a law prohibiting the retail s¢le of liquor throughout the province, Hon, G. W. Ross, Minister of Education, stated that it was the intention of the gov- ernment to secure a plebiscite on the 1 quor question, and he gave notice of a bil! to that effect. He also stated that the government would test the power of the province» to en- act a prohibitory measure. e+e The Campania Arrives. The new ocean greyhound the Campania, of the Cunard Line, arrived in New York on Saturday afternoon, makiug the fastest maiden passage scross\on record. She passed the bar 5:24, which makes the time of the voyage 6 days, 8 hours and 34 minutes. She traversed 2.869 knots. Her fastest day’s run was on Thursday, when she made 503 knots. Her other daily runs were 475 467, 483, 426, 450, and 95 from noon Saturday, uutil she «reached Sandy Hook. Her average speed per hour was 18.60 knots, which shipping men say is a remarkable rate for a new ra on her first voyage. The Majestic held the maiden voyage record, having made the trip in 6 days, 10 hours and 30 minutes. The Teu- tonic made her first tripin 6 days, 14 hours and 45 miautes, and the Paris in 6 days, 18 hours and 53 minutes.
