French side, where only small progress has been made, as well as upon the English side, no serious obstacle has been found. The report says: ** After taking all these facts into consideration, it was clear that the origina estimate of £1,527,000 for the Engliah half ot the tunnel was amply confirmed by the experience obtained.” That would give £3,054,000, say $15,000,000, as the entire The authors of the re- the cost of the tunnel. port go on to consider and demolish bugbear of foreign invasion of England, which has been the reason assigned for op- position in that country to the building of the tunnel as follows “Water, at the rate of 100,000 cubic feet per minute, could be admitted to the tunnel through the shaft and its connecting gallery, and five or six minutes would be sufficient to render it impassable for trafic of any kind.” —_—eo- «+ Bounty Claims. Banks for bounty claims for 1387 are now in the hands of Collectors of Customs. Fishermen entitled tothe bounty should that their claims are properly made out before a Justice of the Peace, and see tolt forwarded not later than the 31st of Decem ber, as the Departmeut will not accept any seut after that date. Every season we hear of persons losing the bounty on account of forwarded within not having their claims the time fixed by law. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Herald comments The Vancouver, ( upon some sermons delivered by clergymen in the town onthe subject of temperance, and says :~— ‘It is a question that does not get that attention by the church which its importance demands. If the public mind is to make pro- gress on this question in respect to the evils arising from the drinking usuages of the present day, the churches will have to take an active part in the work of educating the people. Temperance organizations may do very necessary and important work, but they have not the opportunities of pressing this question upon the attention of the people that the churches hate. In most communities, comparatively speaking, their numbers are small, and their influence is therefore limited. They trust too much to legislation to give effect to their opinions, and too little to the imbuing the public mind with their sentiments. Prohili- tion, whether absolute or optional, will never be a success until alarge majority of the people are convinced of its necessity by being total ahbstain- er«. It would be worse than useless to pass a prohibition act, were that possible, with the present state of feeling in regard to the temperance question. z These remarks are worthy of attentive the East as well as It is hoped that our clergymen willoften discourse froim their consideration here in Vancouver in the West. pulpits on the evils of intemperance, —that they will not rest on the Scott Act as they have done. “ ee Editorial Notes.

THERE was a drunken row at the corner of Rochford Square (nearly opposite the resi- dence of Rev. W. R. Frame) yesterday after- noon. It attracted the attention of a large number of citizens, young, old and middle wed, who hastened to the scene to hear the most terrible imprecations, the most horrid oaths, and altogether the roughest and vilest expressions of which the English language is capable. A gentleman, long # resident in Great Britain, informs us that he never saw or heard anything like such a scene in the Mother Country, and that any thing like it could not possibly occur except in the worst parts of London or Liverpool, while even there it would be stopped by the police in five minutes. But owr police, resting easy in the renewed Scott Act, were not’present, and so the row went on. No doubt some of our active Scott Act promot- ers will visic the locality and make enquires for the purpose of finding out who sold the liquor which made the row. Free Scholarships IN THE MEDIUAL DEPABTMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. For the information of some of our young men, we publish the following, takeu from the catalogue issued by the above University, for the year 1886-87 :— SCHOLARSHIPS. A competitive examination of candidates to fill six free scholarships is held anually. ‘The candidates will be required,— First. To furnish satisfactory evidence that they are without means to defray the expenses of a medical education. Second. ‘To write a brief autobiography, not exceeding a page of foolscap, which will serve as a test of their qualitications in orthography and grammar. Third. To passa written examination in Latin prose translation on the first three books of Cesar, and a written examination in Physics, which may embrace questions relat- ing to the general properties of Matter, Mechanics, Heat, Light, and Electricity.” It was one of these free scholarships which Mr. Daniel E. Morris, of Souris Grammar Scheol, succeeded in winning. They are open to candidates from all quarters of the world. I A Daring Burglary. Tue general grocery store of Patrick Monaghan, on Spring Park Road, was en- tered by burgulars at an early hour yester- day mormng and about $60 worth of goods were stolen therefrom. The police have arrested two young men - Daniel Madden and Philip Dogherty — whom they think are two of the guilty parties. It appears that shortly before three o'clock yesterday morning Sergeant Cameron and officer Taylor while walk- ing along Euston Street heard a sound as of glass breaking a short distance down Spring Park Ruad. As in duty bound they proceeded to investigate. Upon arriving at Mr. Monaghan’s store they found three large panes of glass broken, and on further examination they discovered that the store had been burglarized, and that the noise they had heard was occasioned by several boxes which the thieves had .overturned in their hurry, falling against the glass in the window and breaking it. The sidewalk in the neighborhood was well _ littered with the plunder the burglars had dropped. Hearing a ncise as of some persons walk- ing a short distance from the burglarized store, the ofliccrs proceeded down as far as the Foundry § but could not see any one. Lateron they arrested Dogherty and Madden. Dogherty was first taken in charge. When searched a quantity of crackers were fonnd in his pockets, which he said he had received from Madden. Madden was arrested at the back door of the residence of Mr. William Byers, Roch- ford Street, whither he Shad run to escape the police, who first saw him coming from the direction of the Park. On his person were found a quantity of cloves, pipes, and some money. The goods stulen from Mr. Monaghan consisted of loks ers, crackers. cloves, on the subject. —Mr. Gladstone has replied to Mr. Balfour in the shortest and most epigra- matic letter he was ever known to write: ‘* Mr. Balfour has yet to learn,” says Mr. Gladstone, ‘* first that the Duke of Welling- ton could not attain the end he has in view, and secondly that he is not the Duke of Wellington.” — Mr. Dalton McCarthy, M. P., in- augurated a branch of the Imperial Feder- ation League, at Ottawa a few evenings ago. In the course of an address on this occasion he said that he looked ou cOm:- mercial union as merely an ephemera! agi tation which would soon be spent, if not spent already. He hoped the federation movement would not be looked upon as opposition to commercial union. It was a muvh greater and wider question.” confectionery, pipes, tobacco, shoe polish, starch, etc. A young woman living in the neighborhood says the robbery was going on fromfabout two o clock, but strange to sty Mr. Monaghan, who lives in the same building in which the shop is situated, never heard the noise cccasioned by the breaking of the glass, and knew nothing about the robbery until aroused by the officers after they had arrestedfthe two young men. Of the goods stelen some were yesterJay found near McKignon & McLean’s foundry, some on the Exhibition Grounds, and in various other locatities. Jit is hoped that all the guilty parties will be ferreted out and punished with dhe utmost rigor of the law. es As a specialty for next week, Beer Pros. funvy goods of all kinds at immenve disconats, will gffer their very large stock of wools and XAMINER, oS Se ieee LETTERS TO THE iia sone Letter from Hon. D. Ferguson. Sin,—In submitting, at recent meetings of the Board of Trade, comparative state- ments of the trade of this Province during the period of Reciprocity and since its abrogation, Mr. Davies and myself fell into the saine error in regarding the year 1866 as one covered by the Treaty. The Treaty came into force in the Pro- vinces in November, 1854, and in the United States on the 16th of March, 1855, and was abrogated onthe 16th of March, 1866. As our financial year ended on the Sist of December, the Treaty could have but very slight influence on the trade of 1866 as far as P. &. island was concerned. In order that my coniparison may be per- fectly fair, | now drop the year 1866, mak- ing my statement cover the years 1860 to 1865, as compared with the years 1867 to 1872, being six complete years in which the ‘Treaty was in operation, as compared with the six complete years which followed its abrogation : on mS ope? > =D 35 : 4 | HESR8E 15 2, BASERR |S |B 3\ xeSaeas i¢sie| ges ll 2| BeSeES (8 | PEER 5 | R | 5 5 = _ SF mt ot ot emt | |= | — § | oi.

I have made the comparison for six years of each period, because it is impossible to obtain statistics of our trade with the Provinces which constitute the Dominion, since 1873 when the Island entered Confe deration. It is a matter of regret that Inter- Provincial trade is not shown in the Dominion Customs returns. It will be seen by the figures given above that our exports to the sister Provinces (now embraced in the Dominion) were, during the six last years of Reciprocity, only $66,787 per year less than our exports to the United States, notwithstanding the war prices prevailing in that country. In the six complete years after Reciprocity we exported more than double as much to the Provinces as we did to the United States. it cannet be doubted that this Inter- Provincial trade is much greater in recent years than during the pericd when figures were available. Before committing ourselvesto the support of Commercial Union, our farmers would do well to consider, among other things, its effect on the home and Dominion markets. There can be little doubt that nearly every manufacturing industry in the Dominion would be destroyed at one swoop. With our home market paralyzed, the tariff on British goods nearly doubled, and Prince Edward Island torced to raise its share of ten or twelve millions of dollars of lost re- venue, our position would be simply un- bearable.

A Boston paper reports ;—‘* The Canada & Atlantic Steamship Company, which was recently organized to control the steamship freight and passenger business between Boston and provincial ports, stating intheir prospectus that one steamship was now on the ways to be used in this traflic, and that contracts were making for another large vessel, has, according to statements made by certain steamship companies belonging to this city, made overtures for what would be considered a consolidation, or, at least, a businessarrangement, by which the proposed new company wonld furnish one steamer if the companies approached would lend their steamers tothe enterprise. Direct over- tures have been made to the owner of the Old Boston, Halifax & Prince Edward Island Steamship Line by parties connected with the Canada & Atlantic Steamship Company for the purpose of inducing the Boston & Halifax to allow them (the Canada & Atlantic) to run one steamer, which is now said to be building on the Clyde, in connection with ths steamers Carroll and Worcester. a The falsity of the statement that Sir Hector Langevin and Hon. Mr. Chapleau are ‘‘at daggers drawn,” appeared at the Montreal dinner in honor of Sir Hector’s recovery and return to office, Mr. Chap- leau was present, and Sir Hector said :— ‘Tt gave him great satisfction not only to be present himself and receive their congratu- lations, but also that he had sitting by his side his respected and celebrated colleague the Hon. Mr. Chapleau. (Cheers.) A meeting like this was the best answer to all the mali- cious reports that had been circulated of mis- understandings between himself and Mr. Chapleau. In the Cabinet, as else where,theie were the same differences of opinion amongst men, but they fought side by side and were a unit on all public questions. (Cheers.) As members of the same government he and Mr. Chapleau were true to the country and true to the principles of their party, (Cheers.) Those remarks regarding misunderstandings between Ministers were confined to the Pro- vince of Quebec. It was an insult to the Pro- vince of Quebec that they should be circulat- ed. Why should his friend, Mr. Chapleau, or his colleagues from this province be divided. | They acted together as representatives for the benefit of their province, but they never for- got for one moment what was due to the Do- minion of Canada atlarge.
