THE DAILY EXAMINER. JUNE 10, 1887. No. 3—The Queen -Her Dominions. Ler us contemplate for a few moments the possessions of the Empire which Vic- rule over. At the measure nearly toria was called to present moment they nine millions of square miles, or about a fifth part of the whole habitable globe! What a marvellous territory to have been acquired by the people of so small a country as Great Britain! The Mother Country is but one seventieth part of the Empire at large. Talk about the empire of Darius the Great—the British Empire is five times as large. Contemplate the immensity of the Empire conquered by the Romans-—it was but a fourth of the size of that over which Victoria reigns. Think of the great nations of the present. The British Empire is an eighth larger than Russia, sixteen times as large as France, fifty times as large as Germany, and three times as large as the United States ! The following countries are included in the British Empire, over which the Queen we love and honor reigns : Square Miles.

Now, as to population. Here are a few tables showing the population of the United Kingdom and the self-governing colonies at the time the Queen ascended the Throne, and at the end of 1885. It may be ex- plained that the population in 1885 is arrived at by calculating the rate of increase (or in the case of Ireland of decrease) from 1871 to 1881, and assuming that it went on increasing or decreasing at the same rate up to the end of last year :— 1837. 1885(end of.)

THe last issue of the Boston Pilot con- tains the following complimentary refer- ence tothe excellent speech of Patrick Blake, Eaq., M. P. P., delivered in the House of Assembly last session, in support of his resolation condemning the Cvercion Act :— ‘Hon. Patrick Blake, of the Prince Edward Island Legislature, made ay able and exhaus- tive address on Irish Home Rule, in present- hig on the 4th ult., his resolution in that body d nouncing the Coercion Bill. Mr. Blake had aa appreciative audience for his eloquent ap- peal, as the farmers of Prince Edward Island 20 years ago secured the abolition of a land- lord system infinitely less odious than that of {reland, by forming a Tenant League and re- fusiug to pay extortionate rents, My. Blake's Héiution was passetl uoanimobsly.’ ec tytn i Fishermen in Peril. THEY DRIFT ABOUT FOR THREE DAYS WITH- OUT FOOD OR WATER. The Italian bark Entella, which arrived at Chatham oo Sunday, from Baltimore, had on board two Gloucester fishermen, James McDonald and Oscar Dauphinee, who were picked up several days betore on the banks, almost perished from cold and hunger. ‘1 hey belonged to the Gloucester fishing schooner Carrie and Annie, Capt. Isaac Goten, which arrived on the banks on the 2ist of May. They were fishing until Tuesday, 24th May, when both men left the schooner ina dory to haul in the trawls. It was foggy when they left the vessel, and continued to grow thicker. Then their compass got out of order, and when they started for their ves- sel they knew not which way to go. They rowed about for three hours and then, being wearied, anchored until dark. There was not a morsel of food in the boat and all the fresh water they had with them was con- tained in a quart can. This scanty store was exhaugeed before thefirst day had ended, At dark the wind began to blow quite fresh, stirring up a chopped sea. They could hear @ vessel’s fog horn, but, although they strained every nerve, they were unable to locate the sound, which died out after a short time. Without food and water the men were ina sorry plight, and nothing but starvation seemed to stare them in the face. To add to their discomfort the wea- ther was terribly cold, and it was only by constant rowing that they could keep from perishing. All night Tuesday they rowed aimlessly about. Hearing or seeing no ves- sel in that time they determined to head for the shore, and although they knew that the task before them was a herculean one, they manfully set about carrying it out. On Wednesday they rowed all day in a northerly direction towards the land. Suf- fered fearful agonies from hunger and thirst, and being thinly clad, the ccld al- most penetrated to their very marrow. Thursday morning dawned only to find the two sturdy fellows _ still wearily rowing their little craft along. Then a stiff breeze from the S. W. sprang up, and several times their boat was alinost swamped. On Thursday evening, about 5 o'clock, the fog cleared away, and the hori- zon was eagerly scanned for a passing sail, but none wasto be seen. The weather shut in thick before night, and the poor fellows began to despair of ever seeing land again. Tired and weak they threw down their oars, and let the boat drift whither it would, All night long they drifted aim- lessly about. On Friday morning, at 3 o'clock, when they had abandoned all hope and were sitting in the bottom of the boat gazing vacantly into the sea which they expected soon to claim them as its prize, they fancied they heard a horn. They listened intently, and again the welcome sound was wafted o’er the waters. Filled with renewed hope they crawled on to the thwarts again, and rowed in the direction from whence the sound came, shouting as loud as their weak condition would allow them. Foran hour and a half they rowed and shouted, and then they heard an an- swering shout, and the poor fellows knew that their cry had been adswered and that help was at hand. Presently though the gloom they descried the tall sides of a ves- sel, and as they got nearer they discerned friendly faces peer nz anxiously over therail, the vessel proved to be the Italian bark Entella, Captain Davegno, bound from Baltimore to the Miramichi. The second mate, a big-hearted Englishman, was in charge of the deck, and in atrice he had the two famishing fishermen on board, and theirdory and trawls with them. The men wese kindly treated, and before the vessel reached Chatham had begun to re- cover from their terrible experience. Mc- Donald is a native of Gloucester, Mass.,and is 23 years old. Danphinee hails from Chester, N. 8., but has been sailing out of Gloucester for four years. —_—_.—22 ¢ 2 Germany and Russia. The Russian ukase forbidding foreigners to acquire estates on the western frontier of Russia, is designed principally to put an end to the influexof Germans in Russia. There are in Russia so many German fac- tories, workshops, warehouses and _ firms, the production of which is a profit to Ger- mans exclusively, that the Russian govern- ment regards them as detrimental to the country owing to ,there competition with Russian industries. Besides most of the Germans in Russia ate members of the German army reserve, and in the event of war their might become hostile outposts, familiar with Russia's topography, resources and strategic condition, and might seek an alliance with the Poles. The ukase will not effect its object immediately, as it does not disturb foreigners who are already landlords. Many hold land under temporary conces- sions, which will not be renewed when theirterms expire. It is expected that tenants will then leave their holdings, and that the owners of land will find circum- stances so adverse that they will be com- pelled to leave. This, together with the Russianizing movement in the Baltic pro- vinces, will produce an increasing breach between Germany and Russia, and render impossible a renewal of their former cor- diality which was undermined by Bis- marck’s action at the Berlin congress and his policy in the Bulgarian crisis. ia Exciting Elopement Case. Edward Gilroy, of Rodney, who has for several years been working in John Schur- man’s mill at Five Islands, decided this spring to go tothe United States. A few days after Mrs. Schurman announced her intention of visiting her people on P. E. I. They met at a station on the Intercolonial and went across the line together. An un- due intimacy had been observed by the neighbors for some time; but Mr.Schurman —a generous unsuspicious man—placed all confidence in his wife, and even refused to believe the reports of their elopement until compelled by a telegram from her people. He is nearly frantic; and has been obliged to place his four little children out among his neighoors. Gray-haired men are accused of seeking companions among the blooming youth, but this time the tables are turned. The fair one is probably double the age of the enterprising young man.—Spring Hill News. i Miss Epna Dzan Proctor will offer poet's tribute to ‘* The ey ef the White House,” in the duly number of the Amtrfican Mayh- ' “THE DAILY EXAMINER, - - - A Gladstone's Concessions. HE WILL AGREE TO ANY SURE CONSISTENT WITH THE EMPIRE, HOME RULE MEA- THE UNITY OF A monster procession in honorof Mr. Gladstone was held at Swansea, Wales, on the 4th inst. At the banquet Mr. Glad- stone said that the home rule proposal was a restorative measure aimed at the recall- ing into existence of an institution ruth- lessly and criminally stopped at the end of the last century. Lord Hartington, he said, was called a moderate Liberal, yet his action had tended to the extinction of moderate Liberalism. Mr. Chamberlain, on the other hand, was more in conformity with the general creed, yet his oppo- sition would drive the Liberals into a position which would accentuate the strength of Radicalism. Coercion itself seemed likely to be blucked by theirattempt tu ruin a man _ having the confidence of 6,000,000 of people. He had been assailed by weapons which were resented with in- dignation and contempt by all right-minded people. Sir George Trevelyan had suggest- ed a conference between Lord Hartington and himself (Mr. Gladstone), which propo- sition he was willing to accept if he was in- vited. Referring to Irish representation at Westminster, he said his conviction was that the management of strictly Irish affairs by strictly Irish authority would be really effective and acceptable to the Irish nation. The retention of Irish members was a sub- sidiary matter. What was wanted was a clear character for the English government, which had been disgraced throughout the world by its treatment of Ireland for seven centuries. He was unable, at present, to suggest a mode of _ representa- tion when home rule was established. That difficulty, however, should not impede the settlement of the question. A golden op- portunity now offered which might never return. He would accept any effective measure for home rule, subject to the supremacy of Parliament, the unity of the empire and the wish of the Irish. Mr. Gladstone compared Lord Salisbury with Mrs. St. Clair in ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ in that he was always lamenting the hardship and difficulty of Ireland not accepting her flogging quietly. Referring to the elec- tions, he said that Englishmen were not very rapid in their perceptions. Though credited with strong sympathy with movements for the liberty of op- pressed nations, that sympathy was apt to take the direction of the channel all over Europe, but never a westward course over St. George’s channel. Mr. Gladstone contended that the home rule bill was a restorative and really a conservative mea- sure. He deeply regretted that the Tories, who ought to be recognized as such, un- happily deemed it their duty to encounter it with the fiercest opposition. ‘* It has been said,” continued Mr. Gladstone, ‘*that I refused to modify my Irish pro- posal. Yet, when I gave it as my view that I could frame a sufficiently safe land pur- chase measure not to involve the imperial credit, which certainly was an important modification, I observed with pain not in a single speech or letter of one of my oppo- nents has the change been noticed.” ES << oi ———— = England and the Iron Duties. Sanford Fleming, writing from London to Sir Charles Tupper, says of the flurry among iron masters about our tariff: ‘‘You will see that the Ottawa telegram of yester- day, which appeared in this morning's papers, is having the desired effect. As proof, he enclosed a clipping from the Lon- don Globe editorial, which, commenting on the Reuter’s telegram, says: ‘The Cana- dian government need not have offered an apology for augmenting their duties on steel and iron manufacturies. In the mat- ter of fiscal arrangements every British colony has a perfect right to look after its own interest, just as England does after her’s. Free trade suits, or is sup- posed to suit, the English people better, on the whole, than protection, but Can- adian prosperity is governed by very differ- ent conditions, which, in local opinion consists best with a high import tariff. Commenting upon the facts disclosed in the cablegram, the Globe says since it is the case that the iron metallic manufacturers are being beaten by their American rivals in the Canadian market, it is just as well that the Dominion should manufacture these goods for herself, and this being the object of the new tariff, John Bull cannot fairly regard asa blow struck at those lead- ing interests of his which through some cause or other he himself has brought into jeopardy.” __— nn <2 ae Newfoundland’s Governor. It is announced in Newfoundland that Sir George William Des Veoux, who recent- ly returned trom atrip to England, has been transferred tothe governorship of Hong Kong. He will sail from St. John’s on the 22nd inst. Speculation is rife as to his successor. It is generally expected and believed that Sir Ambrose Shea will be appointed tothe gubernatorial chair. If so, this will bea wonderful turn in the wheel of fortune within two years. Sir Ambrose would now be heartily welcomed as governor by the men who most bitterly opposed his appointment two years ago. Sir Ambrose will do nothing to check the rapidly growing feeling there in favor of confederation with Canada. Premier Thor- burn will leave for England in the next steamer. He intends to continue in busi- ness in St. John’s. ANNIE RAYNOR, a notorious character, was arrested last night by Marshal Thibideau whilst participating in a Salvation Army street parade. Raynor was before Stipendiary Wortman,: May 2nd, in company with a gir] about 14 years of age, whom she had enticed from her home. She promised to leave town and go to P. E. Island, and the magistrate simply adjourned the case to give her an opportunity to do so. She did not leave, but next day joined the army. The Marshal de- termined to give her a chance, but has since learned that she has been regularly carrying on her evil practices, and he accordingly arrested her.
