THE Opposition candidate for the vacant seat in the Legislative Council the electors of the First Distriet, but 10} his great disgust he finds that they wou' he is as fluent as one could wish on the stump. But, notwithstanding his “fluency” he fails to charm the intelli- gent electors of St. Peter's and Fast Point. He has been orating during the past week in the castern end of the district. fu calling bis meetings, he adopts the plan of a one-horse itinerant showman. lie gave vo notice through the public press, but used posters which he stuck up on arriving io the settlement where the meeting was to be held, a few hours before the hour of meeting. Ifo this way he was quite sure to have the meeting all to himself, as the Government candi- date could not be expected to be present, a3 he would know nothing of the time andthe place of meeting. Mr. Bowers ought to have shown more fairplay than this. [le was, surely, not afraid to meet Mr. McEachen, the Government candidate, who makes no pretensions to oratory, but who is nevertheless a clear- heated, practical man, fully competent ‘o represeut the property-holders of the district, Electors are accustomed to hearing both sides ot polities presented at public political meeting. This is the right way. It saves time, and besides people don’t like to hear the opposing candidate abused behind his back. Mr. Bowers will gain nothing by his one-sided meetings. And by the way, people would like to be informed as to Mr. Bowers’ politics. He has published no card. In his can- vass he is all things to all men. He should certainly tell the electors whose sufirages he seeks, what his present political views happen to be It is uot so very long since he was try- ing to get into the Legislative Council as a supporter of the Conservative party. He was defeated, after which he remain- ed on the fence for a while. His present political bearings are best known to him- self. The political outlook in the First District indicates another defeat for him. If electors only go to the polls, Mr. McEachen will be elected by a large majority. This is a somewhat busy season of the year, we admit, but this should not prevent the property holders from sparing ao hour or two torecord their votes. It will be time well spent if they help to send the “outsider” to the right about, as they did before on every occasion in which he has offered his ser- vices. We trust, therefore, electors will go promptly to the polls on the 15th inst] and record their votes in favor of Charles McEachen, the honest farmer who offers himself as a supporter of the best Government that ever managed the affairs of our province. City Council. The regular monthly meeting of the City Council was held last evening. Present: The Mayor, Recorder, Chief Eugineer, City Surveyor, Councillors Crabbe, Kougl an, McLean, Davy, Kelly, Haszard, McRae, Horne, Douse and Morris. A nuwber of accounts were ordered to be paid. The tender of 8. F. Robertson, Eeq., for supplying the city with plank for sidewaiks was accepted. A letter from the schoolboard, informing the Council that the expenditures of the Board for the helf year ending 31st Decem- ber, 1885, would be $5,125, and reqnesting the Council to assess for the same, was laid on the table.

A petition was read from over one thous- and ivhabitants of Charlottetown, asking permission to make a drive thirty feet wide around the large field on the north side of Victoria Park. The Council intimated that they could net grant permission as they had not the power to do so, but if the gentlemen wished to make such a drive the Council would not preveat them so doing. Councillor Haszard asked infortnation regarding the plans of the new Civic Build. ing. It was, after an irregular discussion, Councillor Crabbe stated that no progress was made with the preject of furnishing ‘city with a telephone fire alarm. ‘The Mayor said it was time that tenders Time was passing and no action -_—— Havirax, N. 8., May 11, There is an unusually large number of icebergs in the track of steamers crossing the Atlantic. Thirty-two men of the schooner Young Prince have been rescued from a watery vrave after being nineteen days in the ice. They have been taken to St. Pierre. The schooner was crushed by ice and sunk. The steamer Birgen, for Montreal, had her bows stove in by the ic» off Ingonish harbor, and narrowly escaped sinking, She put into North Sydney. Captain Schoonboven, of the Helvetia, says the German steamer Kehnwilder re- fused to render him assistance when his vessel was almost sinking. Thre> men belonging to a LaHave fishing schooner were swamped in a boat near Ketch Harbor yesterday, and one of the occupants, whose name is unknown, was drowned. Gther Disasters. Anicuat, May 17. The schooner Mary B., Lavache, master, reports having fallen in with the schooner Keetss, of Lockport, Harding, master, in lat. 36, long 62, dismasted. He took off her crew. The Keesta was loaded with dry fish bound to Barbadoes. She en- countered heavy gales, and was hove down, 8° that the masts had to be cut to right her. The crew, before leaving, spilled keroeene over her aud set fire to the wreck. The Mary B. wes four hours alongside, and the work of rescuing the crew was done with great diflicul y. The American tishing schooner Concord, Days, master, went ashore near West Arichat on Saturday during a thick fog; and is a total wreck. She was bound to the Grand Banka, and called here for part of her crew. THE UEL RLBELLION Wires Down, and Nothiug Further about the Battle. More Treops fer the Front. Monrreat, May 12. Latest despatches from tho Northwest state that the wires pear Humboldt are down, and cons: quently there is nu impor- fant news from the seat of the rebellion to-day. Lord Metgund has left for Ottawa, but his mission is unknown, Great anxiety is felt to learn the result of Sunday’s battle. The fight of Saturday is regarded as very unsatisfactory, and more troops will imme- diately ba sent forward. The Montreal Garrjson Artillery left yes- terday amid gieat enthusiasm. A New Bruaswick Battalion has been ordered to start immediately for the North- west, under the command of Col. Maunsell. The Battalion will comprise the Fredericton Infantry School Corps, four companies from the 62nd St. John Fusiliers, and one other from the 62nd, 71st and 74th Batta- lions. Col. Maunsell starts within four days. Grave fears are expressed for Qu’ Appelle, the base of supplies for the whole North- west, and an urgent demand is being made for additional troops at that point. Two Companies of the Halifax Battalion have gone to the Saskatchewan crossing. The latest despatches say that the real campaign will be fought with the Indians west and north of Battleford, and that the war will last all summer. OTTAWA NEWS. Sir Teonard off for England. ee ee = Sir John on the Obstructionists, SS Orrawa, May 12. Sir Leonard Tilley has gone to England for the Lenefit of bis health. In the Hous» of Commons last evening Sir John Macdonald made a long speech, in the course of which he denounced the obstruction tactics of the Opposition, and showed how they lowered the country in the eyes of the world. He said that if they were continued they would reduce Canada to a level in rank with the Repnblies of South America, and would endanger our representative institutions. The minority, he said, must submit to the majority. He would be sorry to see ‘‘the cloture” adopted here, or the “ previous question ” I ) P 4 resorted to, as in the Congress of the United States. But purely obstructive tactics must bs put down, or else Canada's Free Government will become a farce. — Continental News. St. Perrrssurc, May 11. The Grand Council of the Empire have voted £2,000,000, to construct the proposed Siperian Railway. Suakry, May 11. An alarming amount of sickness prevails among the troops here. Carro, May 11. The new Mahdi has again defeated the Original Mahdi in battle. St. Pererspur, May 11. De Giers has sent a despatch informing Granville that Russia will not discuss the question of the future of Herat in the coming arbitration. - RITISH NEWS. English Troops to Abandon The Soudan. Gladstone announces a satisfactory Agreement with Russia. Gladstone sustained by a Giood Majority. Lonpon, My 11. The dynamiters Cunningham and Burton are being tried to-day for treason-felony. In the Parliament to-day, Hartington said the Governmeut had abandoned the idea of advancing upon Khartoum, and that Wady Halfa would be the most advanced position of British troops fur the permanent deferce of Egypt. The British troops will be withdrawn from the Soudan as soon as the Nie rives. The Nile railway will be completed as a commercial enterprise. Mr. Gladstone announced that a satisfac- tory arrangement has been effected between Lord Granville and Earl Kimberly on the part of Great Britain, and Baron DeStael and M. Lessar on the pit of Russia in re- gard to the Afghan feontier. A long discussion ended on the motion for a vete of censure; but it was defeated and the $55,000,000 were voted by a good majority. The new Trish Land Purchase Bill is ex- pected to pass Parliament by common con- sent. At Calcutta orders have been issued to stop the purchase of transports and the despatch of stores and war materials to Quetta. This looks very much like the end of the Russian scare.
