eee Che Daily Cxammer FEBRUARY 2, 18386 Read Out. Tue Patriot has read the Summerside Journal out ot “The Patrty.” The Journal | will probably survive—though in all the yearsit has supported the Grits, it never | received half as much caluminous abuse from the Liberal-Conservative |press, as | the Patriot now heaps upon it because of its reasonable and sensible article about the deputation to London! The Patt is fairly desperate be- cause the Government did aoct~ in- voke the aid of the Opposition in carry- ingon the business of the Province. THEH DAILY ~--—— === ‘known. Notwithstanding the welcome | extended to Gen. Prendergast’s forces by (the trading classes, it is evident that ‘among the mass of the people the in- -| vaders will have to overcome a marked and natural hostility. The despatch of ‘General Roberts to the scene of trouble is a step not likely to have been taken unless the danger was considered of more than ordinary gravity, especially as it comes after an increase in the occupy- ‘ing army, which, ere the country is ‘finally pacified, it is feared, will have to be still further reinforced. ru — ‘She Greek Government, in reply to \the note of the Marquis of Salisbury, 'says the representations of England in- fringe on international and diplomatic observance, and declares that Greece re- serves perfect freedom of action. The What a pity the Opposition cannot take) answer further says that Greece has not part in the “junketting!” But then how could the Opposition perform its function of criticising the acts of the Government, if its- members participated in “the plunder” and ‘‘the sport?” declared war, nor has she given cause for England to interfere regarding her attitude. Bulgaria having violated the treaty of Berlin under the e@gis of Eng- land, Greece is justified in using every tare ; means in her power, and even to resort Indians and Movuted Police. to arms, if uecessary, to obtain the con- gee cessions the treaty of Berlin gave her. The following despatch has been re- ceived from Geueral Strange, of Military Colonization Ranche, sear Gleichen Max., and among the Blackfeet, in re- spouse to a request for his views: {do not think any white man can be certain what the Indians will do under ex- citement; but the Indians in this neighbor- hood are wellarmed. The white men have | neither arms nor militia organization, The ludians, have, unfortunately, acquired the habit of practically resisting the police authority, even to the arrest of a marderer at McLeod lately. They wander off their reserves well armed, and as they get no rations while away from their ro-| serves, they occasionally kill cattle. } If they give trouble im the spring they will first obstruct the rail- way line and telegraph, and so prevent the passage fof the troops East. As this dis- trict will be very much at the mercy of tie Indians as sovn as they can move in the spring, the government should take steps for its safety before the fresh grass enables the Indians to move. Whether the Indians remain quiet or not, this district should not be left at their mercy, as it practically is. The police should be posted on the re- serves to show the Indians that the Gov- ernment is in earnest. The treaty will al- low Indians to move off their reserves. They “shonid, however, be prevented from leaving their reserves with rifles, for which they have no use except to shoot cattle or white men. ; (Sgd.) T. B. Smnanee.”’ TR Mp Mt At an End. The Fisheries Department at Ottawa have iaformed certain enquiring fisher-| mea at Camwpobeilo,that the arrangement euteredinto between Canada and the Greece will maintain her claims to Thes- saly and Epirus no matter what the cost miy be, and she is ready to take the field at the earliest moment and fight to the bitter end in support of her rights. She is confident of success. The first move- ment of the Turkish troops against Greece will be a signal for a revolt iu Albania and Macedonia, aud Europe will not look placidly on. LETTERS 10 THE EDITOR. Str,—From your issue of the 8th inst., I clip the following :— “en old resident says he remembers when’ many years ago, our harbor was open on New Year's Day, those who were the young men of the town at that day had a regatta to mark the occa- sion. Didn't think of it yesterday.” l remember something more remarkable than this. It is a fact well known to your readers that Richmond Bay Harbor closes earlier than Charlottetown Harbor; yet, on the Ist of January, 1813, l—being then a lad of twelve—crossed the former harbor in a log canoe, in company with two others, from Lot 14 (my native piace) to Lot 16, returning the same day. On the preceding Christmas day, the ground was so deeply covered with snow that people walked on snowshoes. Dowatp Rocurorp. Washington, D. C., Jan. 25, 1886. That Singular Phenomenon. Siz,—I- notice in the issue of the 27th ult., under the head of locals, a description of a singular phenomenon, seen by Mr. James Stewart, of Hast River, on the night ot 25th January, viz. : alight about two feet in cirenmference moving at a height of United States last suramer, coocerning the fisheries, is at an end, aud that all American vessels found fishing in Cana-| Gian waters within the three-mile limit| are now liable to be seized and confis- cated. Itis not considered likely, how- ever, that any seizures will be made untii the action of Congress on the Pre- | sident’s recotsmendation for the appoint-| ment of a commission is known. The} Jhief of the Visheries Department ‘says } that, iu consequence of the termivation } of the Washiugton agreement, the con- | vention of 1818 is in.force again, and | Americans have norightto fish within! | i the three-mile limit, except on the part of Newfonudland from the Ramea! Jxlaud on the south coast, to the (airpoa Telands, and a part of Labrador aud the » Mavsdaien Islauds. Their only places or ‘anding to cure fish will be a small art of the Newfoundland coast on. the} uth, from Cape Ray to the Ramea slands and a part of Labrador.

Arthur Gord returned recently from a trip to the United States of Co'ombia. Referring to the Panama Canal, he says that since the failure of the company to receive a new loan a spirit of demoralization seems to have settled dowa upon the whole enterprise. Nothing of any consequence is being accomplished at present. -—-The “Micro-Audiphone” has just | been inveated and patented for the relief | of deafness.

In the tube of (he instrument is placed a membrane, or diaphragm of very thia rubber or skin, held by the edge over a small chamber. The action of the sound waves upon the diaphragm causes it to vibrate so that it has a sounding board effect aud renders the sound more arudible. ~—-A violent and anonymous pamphlet has becn published at Zurich in relation to the Duke of Edinburgh and the throne of Saxe-Cobourg Gotha. It inveighs agaiust the Duke’s succession to the throne fand says:—** We must at least be convinced before he assumes charge of the affairs of the Duchy that he has broken with ali English connections. We cannot accord to the sea-dominating nation, of which he is a representative, dynastic, diplomatic, commercial and about six feet from the ground. The light was seen, as alleged by Mr. Stewart, com- ing out of Mr. Munn’s wood, passing across Appletree Farm into another wood, and disappearing in a wood on the farm of Alexander McGregor. The singular phe- nomenon described by Mr. Stewart was in reality a lantern carried in the hand of Mr. Neil Stewart, to light him on his way. Mr. Neil Stewart went into Mr. Burns’, ‘which is some distance to the westward of Mr. McGregor’s farm. I would like to know where Mr. James Stewart could have been that day. His sight must have been magnified in some way to cause him to eniarge an ordinary lantern light into a light two feet equare. : LanrERn, East River, Feb. ist, 1886. A Moralist Speaks. Siz,—The plague which sometime ago unhappily visite is community, has now eatirely diaappeafed, and fortunately, with fewer Casualities than was at first generally expected. ‘Therefore, no doubt, as a sub- stantial expression of gratitude for their safe deliveranca from the scourge, a number of Montague’s ‘‘respectable” citizens resolv- ed to commemorate the event, with a festi- val worthy of the occasion.’ A public entertainment was therefore provided, the whole management of which was:marked by scuh a course of impropriety as has seldom disgraced our community. The annoyance caused by those periodical entertainments to respectable inhabitants is at all times considerable, but on this occasion doubly 20, for the sounds of Bacchanlian revelry must indeed have been a grateful accom- paniment to the moans of a patient, who lay closely at the point of death. The friends of temperance have but little cause to rejoice at the state of affairs in this com- tunity, when private individuals, who should be the foremost in every moral enter- prise, engage in the ‘‘nefarious traffic,” and who, assuming the role of respectability, allure to their entertainments the young and unsuspecting, where the bar and the gaming table play the greater part. The arm of the law must indeed remain im. potent, while there are those who, instead of being at the head of every movement in the cause of law and order, under their magisterial robes not only shelter, but pro- pagate the seeds of infamy,and whose secret sympatby is changed to open encourage- ment. The rough is always despised, and may be avoided; but is he as bad by half as those ‘‘respectable roughs,” who taint the moral atmosphere in which they breathe, and whose influence is made doubly per- nicions by the greater force of example! It ia well for such, that they can at all times make scape-goats of others, of whose deeds they have been the cause, in order to draw the red herring across their own trail. j Yours, Morauist.

The Times this morning says it believes Lords Shelbourne and Derby and Sir Henry James will decline to accept positions in the new Cabinet, Mr. Gladstone left London this morning for Osborne, in response to the commend of the Queen, He will return to London to- night, LATER, Lonpon, Feb 1. Gladstone has arrived at Osborne, and has received the personal command of the Queen to form a Cabinet. Both houses of Parliament met to-day, and adjourned until Thursday, pending the formation of a new Cabinet. The Press Association gives the following as a forecast of the new Cabinet : Gladstone, First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir Faven Herschell, Lord High Chan- cellor. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Home Secretary. Earl Granville, Council. H. Childers, Secretary for War. The remainder are liable to alteration but will probably be as follows : George Trevelyan, President Board of Trade, Mundella, President of Local Govern- ment Board. Earl Spencer, Secretary for Fore ign Affairs. Earl Rosebery, Secretary for the Colo- ies. Earl Kimberley, Secretary for India. Joseph Chamberlain, First Lord of ths Admiralty. J. Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland. It is understood the Queen objects to Morley because he is pledged tu Home Rule. Gladstone has decided a Cabinet, but several of the gentlemen named are not pleased with the positions assigned them, and therefore it is probable modifications will be made, delaying the publication of the efficial lists. CANADIAN NEWS. Kore Honors for Sir Uharles. THE ISLAND DEPUTATION. Orrawa, Feb. 1. One of the last official acts of Colonel Stanley, Secretary of State for the Colonies in the Salisbury Government, was to re- commend the promotion of Sir Charles Tupper, who has been created Knight of the Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George. Premier Sullivan and Mr. Ferguson, Provincial Secretary of P. E. Island, had an interview with Sir John this afternoon, for the purpose of arranging for an extend- ed interview in a day or two. Their object is tosee if any arrangements can be made to secure a survey of the proposed Subway scheme. ‘They laid their plans before Wal- ter Shanley, who pronounced them feasible, comparatively easy of execution, and not highly expensive. [This news must be taken with a grain of salt. | Lord President of Biabolical Conspiracy. Panama, Feb. 1. One of the most diabolical plota ever planned to overthrow the Government has just been discovered in Guatemala. It was a scheme to set fire to the grand hotel theatre at a given time, and in the panic the intention of the conspirators was to take possession of the Barrack, then to murder President Corrillas and family, and next to attack all foreigners, and finaliy to attack the city. This discovery of the plan led to the arrest of about fifty persons, Mutiny. LiveRPOoL, Feb. 1. A mutiny occurred to-day among the lads on the reformatory ship Clarence.
