The undertaking will be about five times as great as that of the proposed) tumnel between Prince Elward Island and the Mainland. —_—_—_—. +++ — Our Nickel Wealth. Tae building of the Canadian Pacific Railway haa led to the discovery in Canada A considerable of untold mineral wealth. part of this wealth is cvntained in the nickel mines of Sudbury, Ontario. Mr. S. J. Ritchie has written a letter to Sir John Macdonald, in which he says :— five-sixths of} ** Canada possesses probably the wer!d’s supply of nickel. Such being the | case, she can control the markets of the world and the uses ia which this meta! shall be ap- plied. She also has inexhaustible supplies of iron ore, which, until the invention above re- fer:ed to, were neither available for manu- facture at home nor saleable abroad. The comparative close proximity of these iron ores to these nickel deposits, both of which are inexhaustible and almost incomputible supply, would seem to render apy arguim-nt unnecessary as to the proper use to which they should be put. That they should be manufactured in Canada, and the manufactar- ed material shipped to the ma:kets of the world, instead of only the crude msterials being produced in the country aud shipped to foreign markets, would seem to be a ques- tion susceptible of only one answer.” Mr. Ritchie declares that ** by cheap and si:nple processes even very low grades of magnetic iron ores can be converted into the highest and purest grade of Sores which ere offered in any of the markets of the country, and they are thus well adapted to the manufacture of the very best quality of steel. In addition to this, you doubtless are well aware of the great revolution in metallurgy recently made known to the public by the alloying of nickel with steel —the product been known as nickel steel. Nothing the manipulation of metals since the discovery of Sir Henry Bessemer, has created such widespread interest among the steel manufacturers of the world as the results from this nickel steel. Wherever it wil! be possible to obtain this io obtained material, the war vessels of the world, to- gether with their armaments, will doubtless be made from it. Its extensive use for commercial purposes, where a metal of superior excellence is required, is equally well assured.” Mr. Ritchie, who is President of the Central Ontario Railway, asks the Govern- ment to bonus a Railway from Coe Hill to Sudbury—a distance of about two hundred and six miles—and to guarantee the interest at the rate of three pee cent. per annum on a capital stock of five millions of dollars for a period of ten years, for the purpose of erecting and carrying on ja large steel plant upon the line of railway forthe manufac- ture of nickel steel from the iron ores along the line of road, and from the nickel ores of the Sudbury district. These requests involve a total annual interest charge forten years of $200,000 and of $50,000 per year thereafter. They will, no doubt, be carefully considered by the Government. Anticipating a very natur- al objection, Mr. Ritchie says: **It may be said that the natural advan- tages here should be sufficient inducement for either investors or manufacturers without any Government aid, but you must remember that Canada is without any industry of this kind, and that her facilities and resources are not well understood by people of other count- ries where these industiies are developed on @ great scale, and no matter what her advan- | capital i ; oOo the appointed to ovllect these subscriptions and ito selicle from all others whatever they are willing to give for this charitable and need- | ful object. }en relations with Canada, which is reported as follows ; | ‘Captain, | Were th -y canght withia the three-mile limit?’ ‘inside «f the three mile limit, virtually belong- I DA a even in small degree, existed in the United Great Britain, Germany or France, a any amount required could at once | But the | States, be had to utilize and develop them. | conditions here at present ae different, and if Canada is to take ber among these countries. which are broducers of manufac- tured articles inste:d of a producer of raw materials, the Government must take the | initiative and help those who are willing to engege and push through this ente: prise. ee Netes and Comments. ~The Halifax School for the Blind ap: | peals to the sympathy of Charlottetown for) assistance in addiug’a new wiog to the) asyluin, which, with its equipment, is ex- pected to cost $10,000. ‘This addition is imperatively necded to meet the increasing demands of our blind children for admit- | tance.

CAMPBELL SERIOUSLY INJURED BY THE EXPLODING OF A GUN, We regret to hear that Mr, James T. Campbell, son of Hugh Campbel', Exq., of North Wiltshire, was accidentally shot at that place on Friday evening last, receiving injuries which muy possibly result in the loss of his life. It appeara that on that evening @ young friend and neighbor of Campbell’s named Murray, who had been out shooting during the day, came to Campbell’s house with a loaded gun which he wanted some person te discharge. He first asked a younger brother of Campbell's to fire off the gun, but he declined. James was next asked. After putting the ram- rod into the barrel and ascertaining that it was well filled with powder he, too, re- fused, but on Murray’s assuring him it was paper that was in the gun, he put it to his shoulder and pulled the trigger. The re- port could be hesrd for a long distance. JAMES T When I take one f'™, — -—_ 7” -- — oe = ee eet. The Young Memorial Fund.

Tue revelations of Stanley and Bonny hive made the reigning sensation of the past week, The statements of the latter in a letter to the London Times have shocked the world. Uere is a sample : “In talking with me, Barttelot said : ‘John Henry is a dangerous man, and | will shoot him.’ ‘IT thought he was juking at first, but, finding he was serious, | took the matrer up and pointed out to the Major that we were short of men, that this iman was use- ful, and that as he (the major) could not apeak a word of the language, we could not spare Henry. He said : “If 1 don’t shoot him, I will cut his ears off.’ I replied : *‘ What wil) people in Europe think of that ?’ Wou'd you like to read the account of this in the papers /’ He said he would not, and then we dis- cussed the question as to what should bs done. Iyleaded for the man, but after three days’ discussion, the Mejor decided that Henry should have 100 tashes, no- thing less. Ou the Sunday, when, as was my cus- ] was sending for men for the purpore of calling the roll, Barttelot’ marched Henry out of the guard root and said to me: ‘lam going to te!l Henry to prepare for death, as he is going to be shot.” ‘*T said: ‘Do you mean to shoot him ? I thought we had decided not to do sv,’ ‘He replied: ‘No, Lam not going to shoot him, but I want to make him be- lieve that I am.’ **Why make him believe that he is to ' die,” I remonstrated, **if yon don't intend to shoot him.” ‘*To this Barittelot made no reply, but calling Henry up, told him in the presence of the whole garrison, to prepare for death at daylight the next morning. Then, under the Soudanese escort. he marched the prisoner back to the guard house. ‘“*The garrison was astonished at the order that the negro was to be shot, and the moment that the major went away the men showed their excitement and astonish- ment, and came to me to speak on_ behalf of the mau whom they supposed to be con- demned. Scores of them crowded about me, all talking at the same time in tones of the greatest excitement. ‘** T asked them to be quiet and let one of their numbér speak. A spokesman was selected, and he stated that if Major Bart- telot shot John Henry they would all desert. I replied to them that if the man did wrong he must be punished ; that it was for the master tu say what his punish- ment should be. I told them it was not The gun barrel exploded, and the pieces were | sent flying in all directions. Campbell was knocked senseless by the force of the explosion. The thumb of one of his hands was blown « ff, and the fingers and palm of the hand badly lwcerated. His forehead was also cut somewhat and a quantity of the powder lodged in his neck, It is said that there were about twelve fingers of powder in the barrel of the gun when it was discharged. Young Cam, belli, at latest accounts was in a critical condition. Lock- jew is liable to set in at any time and carry him off. An effort will be made to bring him to the city for treatment. —_—- ‘Honor to Whem Honor.” A PLEASANT AFFAIR AT KENSINGTON, A very enjoyable evening was spent at Clarke's UHotel, Kensington, on the 14th inst. About fifty of the friends of Mr. A. E. Clarke gathered to do him honor before he left for Souris to take charge of the railway station at that place, to which position he has been promoted for his efticiency as an ofticerand his genial and obliging manner. Among those who were present from a dis- tance were Hon. Senator Montgomery, Hon. William Campbell, M. L. C., William Pound, Esg., Dr. Wall, G. R. McMahon, P. E, 1 R, William MeNeill Simpson, Esy., John Forrestall, Esq., William John- stone, Esq , Robert Sutherland, Esq., and several others. All the leading men of Kensington were present. At the ap- pointed hour Senator Montgomery was called upon to preside. Hon. G. W. Bent- ley occupied the vice-chair. The jolly company sat down to a well-spread table loaded with nearly everything that was good to eat. **Por this, be sure to-night thou shalt have cramps." —Shakspaere. After having done ample justice to the ‘inner man,’ the chairman called the guests to order, when the fullowing toasts were honored .— ** The Queen.” **Here’s health to the Queer; and a lasting peace ; To faction an end, to wealth increase.” — Oid Song. *: The Governor-General.” *- L'eutenant-Governor.” ** Our Guest.” At this stage of the proceedings the chairman read an address, which, together with Mr, Clarke’s reply, will appear in Tue ExaMINer to-morrow. The usual toasts were honored and res- ponded to afterwards. The Chairman cailed on the Secretary of Committee to read letters he had received from invited guests. From these letters of regret at not being able to be present he read extracts from the following —Monsig- neur D_ J. Gillis, Indian River; Hon. Peter McNutt, M. L C., Malpeque- R. Hunt, Msaq., Chairman of Town Council, Summerside ; 8. M. Bent, Esq., of Sum- merside Journal ; V.S. Gillis, Eeq., Indian River ; W. D. McKay, Esq., Charlottetown Wovlen Mills; John M. Clarke, Esq, Summerside ; Gordon Glover, Esq , Ken- sington. The toasts were interspersed with several tages are or may be, it would he impossible to induce capital sufficienly large to engage in *n euterprise ot thiskind without some Gov- ernmeat backing, If the same oppor tunities, ! songs, making the social gathering very ‘pleasant. After singing ‘‘Auld Lang. Syne,” the company breke up quietly and in order, their place to interfere, and that they had better leave it to me and go away quietly. They did so. ‘*I] then went and told Major Barttelot what the man had said, and pointed out how foolish it was to make threats which he did not intend to varry out. ‘**He replied ; ‘Then by-—, I will give him 300 lashes, and nothing will induce me to alter this decision.’ **On the following morning Henry was marched out and tied toa post. Four big Soudanese, not one of them under six feet in height, were selected to administer the punishment. Each man was to deliver seventy-five lashes. Henry never uttered a sound after the first thirty lashes, as he became insensible to pain. ‘** This scene was the most horrible I ever saw. Mortification set in, the man’s flesh fell off in pieces to the ground, and his body swelled to twice its ordinary size. Within 24 hours Henry died. The circumstances which led up to and culminated in Major Battelot’s death are thus described : “It was on the 18th that Souci received the fatal kick, and that I saved the major’s life when he bit the Maneyama woman, and it was <n the night of that same day that he killed the Maneyama—-the comrade cf Sanga. “This man Barttelot prodded quietly 30 times with his steel-pointed cypress staff, and finished up by beating the man’s brains out before the eyes of all in the village. The scene which followed was like that which occurred wher he bit the woman, anc again I had to fight te save Bait elut’s life. It was only by knocking him down myself that the natives held back, for then they thought I meant to punish him. **Major Barttelot’s reasons for killing the man ashe did were thet he believed hina to be the native who had shot at him and myself while we were sitting in my house the night before. ‘**T must say that Bartreldt was obliged to live in my house, because neither the chief of the village nor any of the natives would give him one of his own to live in, and it is necessary to state that there was no evidence whatever to prove that the man whom Barttelot prodded and killed was really the native who fired the shvt. Duringallthenight of the 18th, as the pre- vious night, the firing of guns was goingon all over the village asanexpressicnof the hatred in which Barttelot was held, and the only wonder is we were not both killed. This was the condition off affairs cn the morning of the 10th, when Barttelot, unable to stop the neise and the beating of drums, issued from the house and was shot. | was my- self at the mom: nt going about the village attempting to quell the disturbance, and was not ten yards from the Major when he fell. Though I did not myself actually see M«jor Barttelot fall, there is no question as to how he died and why. If these statements be true Major Barttelot richly deserved the death that he died. The Montreal Gazette very well re- marks that ‘On the evidence so far sub- mitted Stanley’s verdict that Barttelot was shct, and not murdered, will stand.” o-oo He Gor a Verpicr.—-In Brooklyn afew days ago, a verdict was rendered for $6,500 in favor of ex-assembly man, Daniel W.
