Several correspond- ents in Massachusetts and Connecticut re- port that the acreage varies very little from year to year. A correspondent from Pea- body, Mass., (Eastern part,) reports a much less acreage than usual because of the scarcity of goodfarm help. One man writes from Alfred, Maine, (South Western part,) that the acreage of potatoes will be less because farmers are planting more sweet corn for the cannery, Caribou, Aroostook Co., Maine, says there will be a large acreage of potatoes planted. —~—-<9 + 9+ e—_____—____—_- Notes and Comments. and one from —The star of the Duke de Veragua has apparently sunk from sight in the United States. He is now entirely superseded by the Infante Eulalie. Columns of space seem altogether inadequate to portray her beauty and grace and princely progress through the land. —There will likely be no less than six expeditions leave for the Arctic regions in search of the North Pole during this 2ea- son, the total cost of which is estimated at somcthing like $200,000. It is calculated that Lieutenant Peary’s expedition will cost about $25,000; Nanuen’s, $30,000 or more; Jackson's abcut $40,000; and the German and Danish expeditions around $30,000 each. —in the Quebec Morning Chronicle of the 22nd inst., appears an editorial on the proceedings of the Royal Society of Canada, whose annual session has just been con- cluded in Cttawa. The writer thus speaks of the Rev. Frederic E. J. Lioyd’s work on Prince Edward Is!and: ‘A striking work has been sent by the Rev. F. E. J. Lloyd, of Charlottetown, entitled ‘Annals of Prince Edward Island.’ It is an exhaustive treatise, and Mr. Lloyd has gathered an immense amount of interesting information relating to the history of the tight little Island which is known to few.” —Changes in connection with the sealing of goods in transit through Canada from one part of the United States to another part of the United States are announced from Ottawa. The practice has hitherto prevailed for the Canadian officer to aceept the American consular seal, but if that seal was broken in Canada, the Canadian offic- ers had no authority to act in regard to it. It is now proposed that Canadian officers shall at the frontier seal cars in transit, and if the Canadian seal be broken before leav- ing the Dominion, then the goods will be- come subject to the customs law. --A wedding present to the Princess May from Canadian women is a graceful suggestion. The Princess is to be the wife of one who, in all haman probability, will occupy the throne of Great Britain some day, and a tribute of regard and loyalty from Canadians would not be amiss. _It is suggested that this present take the form of one of the finest Canadian sleighs, com- pa with fur robes, bells, ete. There is, owever, considerable objection to this article. Many persons think that it would have a tendency to foster the idea that Canada is a land of perpetual snow and ice. We trust that the ladies who are to meet in the Legislative Library this afternoon to consider the matter will not be too hasty in determining what form the gift shall as- sume. —Late advices from Ottawa state that it has been learned at the Department of Agriculture that the great majority of the immigrants who are passing through Canada to the Western States are coming out on prepaid tickets—-that is, they have been sent for by friends already located in the West. The prepaid system is undoubtedly the great factor in inducing immigration to the United States, and in lesser volume to Canada. Once the practice becomes gener- ally prevalent in Manitoba aad the North- west, a great volume of immigration to Canada must result. Hundreds of Scandi- navians have already arrived this spring, which shows conclusively that the Minister of the Interior was fully justified in devot- ing attention during the past winter to Scandinavian countries as a field from | Blaine and which to draw settlers. From the Far East. We learn from the Penang Gazette that he annual conference of the Methodist ipiscopal Church in Straits Settlements, Indies, opened in Singapore on the lst April, Bishop Thoburn presiding. The reports from the several committees showed narked and wide advance during the year. it was noted that the Anglo-Chinese school, which was opened in Singapore six years ago, had now 450 pupils, and that it had this year succeeded in .obtaining the high- est average of passes of any schuol of its mast grade in that city. The school in Penang, under the superintendence of the Rev. D D. Moore, had met with even greatei success, having in two years reached an et rolment ef 220 boys and 49 girls.

In the Behring Sea arbitration on Wed- nesday Sir Charles Russell quoted Bayard, others, vindicating Elliott's reputation as an expert against Phelps’ sneering reference to his status as such. He discussed Carter’s argument that mankind was entitled to the usufruct only of pro- perty, and that exhaustible property should be entrusted to the nation which can utilize it most efliciently for common good. Sir Charles Russell contended that this prin- ciple, if applicable to nations, involves applicability to individuals, thus reducing the theory to absurdity. Answering Morgan, he explained that the special principles adopted by the negotiat- ors of the Washington treaty of 1871 ap plied only to points then at issue, which were not covered by international law. He dissected Carter’s argument on the rights of preperty. The argument, he said, treated of morals and not law. He chal- lenged the Americans to quote any auth- ority in which moral and natural laws are cited as constituting international law. He declined to discuss the vague proposi tions which Carter alleged should be em- bodied in international law. The tribunal, he declared, could not make law. It could merely apply existing law to facts as as- certained. Russel examined seriatim Carter’s refer- ences to British decisions on the right of property in bees, rabbits, grouse, etc., arguing that in every case the decision really supports the British contention. He juoted Kent and Angell to show that the United States law gives no right of property in wild animals, and showed by copious references to French jurists that the law of France is similar. _ too Be_kalser.—Attention is called to the advertisement in to-day’s issue of the Young Wilkes stallion, Belkaiser, standard and registered, No. 18197, standing at stables of Mr. & D. McLeod, This horse is especially deserving of the patronage of horsemen and breeders, as his owners, in starting out, have made a most liberal offer of a premium of $150 which they will give to the owner of the first of his get trotting as low as 230. Belkaiser is pronounced the most highly bred horse in the Province, He comes of the great Wilkes family—a young family, numbering over 1200 per- formers in the 230 list—and what per- formers! All race horses of the first order. Belkaiser was sired by one of the last of George Wilkes’ get. and as a sire, has sur- passed the best of them when his age—ten years. Balkaiser is only three years old Young horses have proved’ great sires Hambletonian, 10, was only three years old when his great son (perhaps greatest had he lived longer), Alexander’s Abdallah, 15, was foaled, and _ this horse sired the campaigner Goldsmith Maid winner of 332 heats from 2.30 to 214. The records are full of such ex- amples. Wilkes’ stock is always saleable, snd joined with the blood of Dictator, sire of the dam of Nancy Hank, 2.04, it is just the goods to suit the market. Those desirous of breeding. sound stock of good color, good looks and first-class blood- lines should have a lock at Belkaiser. = a a Another choice lot of cheap pictures received at the Bazaar Store4 HOUSE AND LOT BY AUCTION, Saturday, June 3rd.

Srr,—I have read in last evening’s Ex.| AMINER Mr. Fitzgerald’s deliverance as} rendered by him in the Police Court room | yesterday. If remember right this is a/| ‘** third offence,” he having on two previous | ecasions deemed ‘* it necessary’ to make explanations owing to adverse proceedings in other courts, Ido not intend even to attempt to newer the legal statements imade by Mr. Fitzgerald. I will leave that to be done xy the lawyers when it becomes necessary. | Probably the six questions that he says judge Hodyson did not decide will then be ipplemented by at least one more, It is efreshing, however, to hear from Mr. Fitz- erald himself that there are these six wlnts yet undecided, But the prudence f his making this admission may be ques- ioned, [ do think, however, that vhen he was informivg the public of what the Saperior Court judge did not decide he night have gone further and told them on what grounds he considers that learned judge released Siate. I read in the Patriot hat it was because *‘it clearly appears that hat Magistrate had no jurisdiction,” Now that my former letter has had sucha veneficial effect, I will not pursue the sub- ject further, except to say that I have made no “untruthful e»mments on the administration of justice,” and Mr. Fitz- gerald, if he wished thé public to eccept his statement to the contrsry as conclusive, should have pointed out where the untruth was, This he has not done, but instead has | made a general allegation. The adminis- | tration of justice in all our courts is a mat- | ter of public concern, and as such is open | as of right to criticism. As a citizen, I exercised that right, and shall do sc again when occasion requires. CITIzEN, The Juniors Heard From. Sir, — In this morning’s Guardian some person signing himself ‘‘Spec- tator”’ writes concerning the foot- bali match — Junior Abegweits vs. P. W. College seeond team. Judging by ‘‘Spectator’s’ whine he is either a member of the last mentioned team or a student at the college. The burden of his tale of woe is that the accounts of the game in yesterday evenivg’s papers were unfair to the P. W. C. team; that they were not heavier than the Juniors; and that they did not get a fair show. With the newspaper reports we have nothing to do; but in the matter of weight we would wish to have our say. To any spectator (except the aforesaid one) who sized up the two teams, it could not bus have been apparent that the P. W. C. were the heavier. Certainly every individual member of their team was not heavier than ours; but their team on an average was. By arguing this point in the uewspapers we cannot arrive at the correct weight of each team; so to settle the matter we are agreeable to arrange with the P. W. C. team to have both teams weighed. We are perfectly confident of the outcome if this be done. Even ‘‘Spectator” admits that there was a few pounds difference in weight between the teams, and that the superiorty was on the side of the P, W. C. Regarding receiving a fair show, we think both teams received justice. We were quite satisfied with the treatment we received. Ifthe P. W. ©, team imagines it did not receive justice on the field, we will ba oaly too happy to again meet the team they placed upon the ficld on the 24th with the same team with which we battled with them on that occasion. Surely this is a fair proposition. Before closing, I would like to remind “Spectator” that if he wishes to find out how much he doesn’t know about football, he should immediately call upon either of the umpires for enlighten- ment. Who the “empire,” of whom he speaks, may be all our boys are in complete ignorance. A. Hogan, Capt. Junior Abegweits, oo The Guardian Corrected. Siz,—I was surprised, and I must say rather annoyed, at a statement made in this morning's Guardian in regard to a picnic heid at Keppoch on the 24th, in which it says that Mr. Gardiner failed to come after the party in the evening. Now, this is not correct, for he did come, but was Jelayed by an accident to his boiler, and he had to gel 2 tug boat William Aitken, which gave him a good deal of extra werk a8 well asexpense. | am sure all the party fully exonerate Mr. Gardiner and will all agree with me in saying that he was most kind and obliging and did all in his power to make the trip pleasant. In couclasion, I think it would be well if the Guardian made sure of the truth of its Ileccals, especially when they tend to injure any person, as this one evidently was meant to bart Mr. Gardiner.

Orrawa, Mey 26. His Excellency the Gi vernog Genera yesterday received a telegram stating that Her Majesty had permitted the tile of ‘Royal’ to be applied to Canadian perman- ent corps, and that commanding cflicers be so advised. THE ROYAL SOCIETY Concludes its Session. Orrawa, May 26. The Royal Society of Canada concluded its annua! session a day or two ago. Dr. G. M. Dawson was elected president; J. Lemoine, of Quebec, vice-president; Dr. Bourinot, seeretary; and Dr. Selwin, treasurer. Among the new fellows elected is Archbishop O’Brien, of Halifax THE GRAVEYARD CASE. Welton and anal bet Free. Sr Jown, May 26. C. B. Welton and Dr. Randall have been set free after seven months’ imp:isonment. They were dismissed on their own recog- nizances to appear at the next county court to answer to the other indictments against them, the amount fixed being $10,000 for each indictmeat. This makes $60,000 for Welton and $70,000 for Randall. There is not the slightest possibility of the matter being fur- ther prosecuted. General Telegraphie News. Cuicaco, May 24.--A reception was given in the Canadian building at the World’s Fair to-day to the British subjects in the celebration of Queen Victoria's birth- day. ' It was made the occasion»by most of the speakers to denounce the annexation of the Dominion to the United States, and to indulge in an eulogy of the mother country, a united empire, the glory of being British subjects and of Her Majesty the Queen. Monrreat, May 24.—In spite of the embargo upon Canadian catile the ship- ments frem this port are going on apace, and, in fact, the figures for the past week exceed by 2,000 those of the week ending May 13. From the last mentioned date up to yesterday no less than 6,605 head of live stock were cleared from this port to the Onited Kingdom, and accepting the esti- mate of a well-known exporter, the value cf the past week’s shipments will be about $90 per head, or amounting to a sum total of $594,450. It is not probable, however, that these figures will keep up for many weeks, as there has, jor several reasons, been more than the ordinary spring rush during the last three weeks. There will be eight boats taking cattle the present week agoinst eleven last week, consequently the number of head will be less. Satem, Mass., May 24.—The Atlantic tannery property at South Salem, occupy- ing over 10 acres with manufacturing buildings, was totally destroyed by fire iast night. The premises were partly occupied by Poor Bros., tanners. The occupants were Reed & Vaughan, manufacturers of leather measuring machinesp Lynn Glue Co. snd Salem brass foundry. The total loss will reach fully $250,000. Partially covered by insuranve. Help was summon- ed from all surrounding places. Boston, May 24.—Prof. Pickering, of Harvard, was interviewed to day on the newly completed Bruce photographic tele- scope, which is to be sent to Areqnipa, Peru. He said that the telescope, which will make a complete sidereal map every year, is more powerful asa star tinder than any other instrument in the world. Prof. Pickering also said that the new telescope marks a distinct departure in astronomy, and will enable astronomers to make many new discoveries as well as radical changes in present astronomical data. Maprip, May 24.—Emilie Caztear, for some time dictator of Spain, and for nearly 50 years conspicuous among Spanish repub. licans announces that he has retired from public life. He says he is convinced that monarchy, for the present, isthe only stable and progressive form of government possible in Spain.
