Let every item in the above list be care. fully scanned! What a world of addi- tional comfort there is in the additional $4,000,000 worth of anthracite coal ! How much additional industry, how much more wage.earned and paid, how much more money put into circulation, how much additional farm produce sold and consumed as the result of the importation of upwards of $2,000,000 worth more of ! Then look at the settlers’ effects and the Simporta of coin and bal.iot. People are into Canada and settling there, bringing their effects and their money with them! [Is it wonderful, in view of the change of our circumstances and conditions, that, not- raw cotton to coming withstanding a large additional home pro- duction of raw materials, there has been such a remarkable additional importatien of raw materials ?

Senator Fergnson was the orator for the grand concert given on St, Patrick’s evening under the patronage of His Excellency the Governor-General and the Countess of Aberdeen. A crowded house greeted the Senator, and his remarks eyoked hearty applause.

A.J.McKenna wa; to be the Orator at tne celebration of St. Patrick’s Day in Peterboro. We have not yet heard ‘how it passed off. A number of prominent Islanders are at present in Ottawa,—Mavor Dawson, Cou: - cillor Nicholson, Messr:. Horace Haszard, Fred Perkins and A. W. Sterns. Mr. Joseph Pope’s promotion, while a deserved tribute to Lis ability and industry! will be pleasing news to his many frieads and relatives in this Island. He is regard- ed in Ottawa as o-e of the foremost men in the civil service, Mr. J. A. J. McKenna is the President of the Children’s Aid Society, which re- cently secured the commitment of Mrs. Bell for trial on a charge of cruelty to her grand children, and the sentence of her busband to 26 months in the penitentia-y on a like charge. Mr. W. C. DesBrisay, who ‘suffered sev- erely all winter from rheumatism, has almost entirely recovered, and will, we trust, soon be as sprightly as ever. _ The familiar figure of Mr. John Wel- lington Hughes can be seen regularly, after otfice hours, in the corridors of the House of Commons, He seems to know everybody, aud is a welcome guide to Islanders who visit the capital. _Mr. Dan Koughaa, son of the late Coun- cillor Koughan, has taken up his resid- ence in Ottawa, and expects shortly to resume his old employment at railroading.

Marshal! was outclassed from the start. Police Officer Ross, of Halifax, is laid up with aterribly swollen hand, the result ot being bitten by a young man. Yellow fever is again spreading through out Rio Janeiro at an alarming rate. One hundred new cases were reported one day last week. Three men in Lancaster, N. H., hold uine public offices, auditing theirown = ac- counts. The voters are campaigning for a change at the next town meeting. It is reported disturbances have occurr- ed in Beyrouth, where it is said 15,000 Christians paraded the streets av 1 warned Moslems to defend themselvee. The Sultan has telegraphed the Vall instructing him to preserve order. A despatch from Constantinople says the Sultan is trying to get a written ac- knowledgement from the Armenian Pat riarch that he is to blame for the Armen- ian Outbreaks. It is added the Porte wishes the Patriarch to resign. The American House Naval Committee has recommended the construction of four battleships, and fifteeu torpedo boats. The nattleships will have a displacement cf about 11,000 tons, and shall cost, not to exceed $3,750,000 each, exclusive of arma- ment, The tiag of God’s American Volunteers, Ballington Bocth’s new army, is to have forty-five Stars on it, one for each State in the union. The salvation preached wi'l, it is presumed, be of a” strictly United States kind, to which no foreigners will be admitted. Mrs. Ellen White. of Fredericton, better known as Ellen Lioforth, against whom six Scott Act convictions for first offences were recently recorded in the Fredericton police court, has been arrested and lodged in jail. The six commitments will keep her in custody for twelve’ months unless the fines are sooner paid. Harry Wilson, a painter in the car works at Amherst, who fell from a scaf fold on Saturday, the 7th inst., was able to be out again about two days later. But misfortuoe has again come upon him, for a few days ago he fell again from a scaf- fold on a pile of iron, falling on the thigh injured in the first fall. The British Commons on Tuesday last adopted a resolution that the House is of the opinion that the inrtability of the rela- tive values of gold and silver, since the ac- tion cf the Latin Union in 1893, has prov— ed injurious to the beet interests of the country, and urging the Government to do everything possible to secure, by iaterna- tional agreement, a stable monetary par of exchange between gold and silver. Sir Michae! Hicks Beach noted that there was to be no departure of Great Britain from the gold standard. This sentiment Sir W. V. Harcourt applauded. Mr. Balfour de- fended his bi-metallism views. Great Britain and Nicaragua have come to an agreement for the seitlement of the claims of British subjects in connection with the occupation of the Mcsquido Coast by Nicaraguan forces. The matter isto le settled by a commission,one member being appointed by (ireat Britan ard one by Niearagna. The third, it is specifical'y provided, is not to be named by any Amer icen state. This shuts out the United States, and should give the anti-Britizh jingoes another chance to distinguish themselves, if it does not call for another Monroe Doctrine message. The United States sovereignty of thecootinent has been set at nought. Judging from the figures published, Mr. McKinley has stolen a march on his com- petitors for the Republican acmination fur the United States presidency. In the con vention that meets at St. Louis, on June 16, there will be 909 delegates, the votes of 455 being necessary to make a nomination. Mr. McKinley is said to have secured pledges from the managers of States con- trol'ing 564. The number left to be divid- ed among the rivals of Ohio’s favorite is only 345. The weakness in the McKinley ranks is due to the fact that so many of the votes he counts on Come from tle South, from States that never give a Re- publican majority in a presidential contest, and which will be cast by mea peculiarly susceptible to ‘human devices.” They may be won away, if the other candidates’ workers have time to operate upon them It would appear well within the poseibili- ties, however, that McKinley may carry the convention with a rush and be nomin- ated on the first ballot, an end his tactics are being designed to secure. The first iron-clad ship was built in France, while iron protection had been talked of, by naval constructors in Brit- ain, France and the United States, and while, as far -back a; 1782, iron had been used ou French or Spanish vessels, engag- ed in the seige of Gibralter, it was in 1854, by direction of Napoleon III., that five French iron-protected floating batteries were buiit and sent to the Crimea, where they did work that other ye s-ls had found it impossible to accomplish. This success led to fur-her experiments, by Great Brit- ain aod France, and to the appointment of a committee to consider the question by the United States. The Warrior was the firet fully protected ironclad ship of the British Navy. She was built in 1858, and by 1861, had ten consorts. After the outbreak of the civil war in the United States in 1861, work was begun on the same lines. The Galena was a failure, but the New Ironsides did good service, and was the fivst «ffective U. S. ironclad or iron warship. Before this, however, in 1843,a Mr. Thomas Stevens, of New York; had made a contract with the U. S. Government, for building an ironclad bat- tery, but it never appears to have been used, if it was ever launched. Betsxeen Great Britain and the United States, the first effective ironclad was in the furmer’s navy. , —It is semi-officially declared that the utterances of M. Berthelot, French Minis— ter of Foreign Affairs, regarding the grav- ity of the consequences of the British ex- pedition to Dongola, do not possess the meaning attached to them, They merely referred to the question of usibyg the re- serve Egyptian fund for the ex edi tion. Altogether, France seems to be anxious te remove the effect produced by the bulletin embodying the sub- stance of the interview between M. Berthelot and the British ambaseador, Lord Dufferin.§ While the Goyernment wish it understood that France is closely interested in the matter, they in no way desire to assume an attitude of hostility towards England. It was necessary that France should clearly define her attitude at the outset, and, in view of the kindly relations recently established with Eng- land, the government was of the opinion that frank language would. be the most likely to remove any possible misunder- standing that might arise. The Temps, in commenting upon the matter, expresses views similar to the foregoing. Hats! Hats !—See our New Hats and you will buy one.

March 19.—The rela- tives of Margaret McPhail, who died - near Clarevill, Kent County, a few days ago, found $1,900 in bills sewed up in her cloth- ing. They took the money to Ridgetowa to deposit it ina bank, where it was dis- covered that. $225 of it was of six different defunct banks in Canada, one of which was the Bank of Upper Canada, which showed that she started to hoard more than 25 years ago. There were also a lot of four dollar bills, which had been called in by the banks many years ago. They are good, but not now in circulation. “7oeo More of those 22c and 28c all wool serges opened this morning.—Moore & McLeod. GRAND RECITAL nasinanil SH staal Sacred Musie — IN THE—— NEW ST.

The Federal delegates Jeave for Winni peg today to negotiate with Mr. Green- way and his government. It is understood that the instiu:tions to the ccle gates are to negotiate for such a settlement, if possible, as will be satisfac - tory to the minority. They will, of course, be in daily communication with the Gov- ernment, so that the authorities at Ottawa will be apprised of the negotiations as they poceed, Jt transpires “that the Federal Opposi- tion has been urging Mr. Greenway not to negotiate for a settlement until the Re- medial Bill is withdrawn.
