Concerning the interpretation to be given Mr. at Belfast, wherein hetonched upon Com- to that part of Chamberlain’s speech mercial Union, alsu as to what Commercia! Union really means, the Chicago Times thus remarks :— ““What he did say was that if Canada wanted Commercial Union she could have it. adding: * But Canada knows perfectly well that Commercial Union with the United States means political separation from Great Britain, for it is quite impossible that Grea Britain should retain all the responsibilities and obligations of the colonial connection whenal the advantages are taken away Probably Mr. Chamberlain thought the Can ad.ans ought to know that the kind of Com mercial Union now under discussion means political separation from Great Britain, and supposed it would be regarded as only a just compliment to their intelligence to assume that they did know. But the resnit proves that some ot them do net deserve even that very moder. compliment, for the Globe, which no ivuubt expresses the views of many Canadians. says most emphatically that * Canada does not know that Commerciaf Union means separa- vu from Britain. If she thought any such result would come from Commercial Union, she would drop the subject at once, and seek for some other way of escape from the conse- s of the ruinous misgovernment of the years. It is because she believes Commercial Union to be not only perfecgly mpatibie with Beitish connection, but the uly way of pre serving itand putting herself in pan ; of wealih and prosperity alongside of the United States, that she favors the agita- tion. + ; A At iile Seeing that the Globe is an Opposition paper, ts authority to speak for Canada, and to say that ° and favors that, is juestionable, to say the least.

Mr. Blake would take a high position in the Imperial Parliament, but we doubt very much if he will leave Canada permanently under any temptation.” On which the Moncton Times remarks: ‘‘Mr. Blake's _ recent journey in company with O’Brien, the con- vieted editor of United Ireland, and his public utterances in Ireland would seem to indicate a desire to represent a Home Rule constituency, and may have given rise to the report mentioned by the Globe.” > 0° > + oe _ From reliablesources, we learn, that the American seiners that were in the Bay last summer, only averaged eighty barrels of mackerel each vessel.

P., writes frou: Dublin : Chere has cume into my hands frem s high placed source, which I am not at liberty to disclose, a document which may. prove. 4a, be of revolutionary importance. It is n@ less than the copy of a memorandum of # fury scheme of Home Rule which is to bk submitted to the cabinet at an early date by certain important members of the party. | do not say the cabinet have expressed an opinion as yet upon the scheme, but it will be seen on its face that it is no idle canar@, but a serious political proposal. TI give the iraft verbatim in its rough state as memor- andum. ‘The idea is to establish in Ireland a strong centralized executive. depending immediately on the Queen’s guvernment, and a parliament which shall have fuli powers of legislation, but no.effective con- trol over the executive. This, it is thought, can be effeeted by a blunt proposal, which shall have an effective ring about it, to re- store the Grattan parliament. Differences there must be of course. The fran- chise and Catholic rights cannot be meddled with. The House of Lords will be a difficult matter to get down. It must be represented that the only fair course is to restore to Ireland her parliament in its fullness, leaving future development to her internal management. A bold and exten- sive creation of liberal and even nationalist peers will @ild the bill. Parnell and Es- mond, for instance, would be a very mater- ial addition to the upper house. The nationalists must be allowed to feel theim- selves strong in parliament even if they don’t control it. The secret of strength and independence of the executive will le found in the permanent taxes to be voted by the Imperial Parliament as a concomi- rant condition of the resteration of the lrish parliament. These will be variable only by a regular act, and no such aet will be passed against the will of the govern- ment. It will be defimitely understood from the first that the ministers will not feel in any way bound to resign in consequence of an adverse vote. They will acknowledge uo responsibility except to the Lord Lieu- tenant. The systern of permanent taxes is the keystone of the whole plan. It is feared Goschen will strongly oppose it. It will be arguggl first that it is necessary tu prevent th imposition of protective duties, and secondly, that a scheme of land redemption cannot be worked without it. Chis scheme, as yet, is only in outline, but these are its main features: Landlords will be hought out without bonds secured on ordinary revenue. As far as possible the bouds will be taken up by savings banks, ind so become popular securities. Mean- while, the land bought from landlords will be surrendered entirely to the tenants with no troublesome mortgage charges, but a fairly heavy tax will be laid on land values, to be paid by holders. With the ure expropriated landlords of course some sort of an arrangement will become to. It 1s intended to make this process gradual. Farmers whose holdings have been redeem- ed will thus be separated in interest from those who are still paying rent, and a fairly strong conservative party will gradually. come into .ex- istence. The great landlords, too, will be urged to secure to themselves substantial dimensions in a ring fence, if possible, so as to retain or rather regain their hold on the country. An important question not yet settled is how the executive is to be supported, especially against any acts of parliament that might be carried against them. The House of Lords could not be thoroughly trusted. It is proposed to make a new use of the Privy Council. It might be suggested that as a committee of the Privy Council now exercises judicial fune- tions for India and the colonies, another committee might very well be appointed tu revise the acts of the colonial legisla- ture, te advise the crown respecting them —in short, some of the constitutional functions of the Supreme Court of the United States; Ireland would be brought under the same rule. There would be nothing invidious in the position. It is believed that the scheme as a whole would meet with the support of many Home Rulers, those especially who want above all things to get rid of the Irish members from Westminster and are disgusted with Glad- stone and Morley for giving up that point. Indeed, it is not improbable that Morley himself would accept. Chamberlain’s set, of course, would oppose it with all their might, and this will win it some favor in certain quarters.

Weather Bulletin. Torosro, Noy. 9 —10 a.m, northwesterly Fresh fine cooler Weather. The New winds, Steamship Line, The Monetary Times of Friday last says: ** A new steamship company is in course of formation to compeae for the business of the route between Boston, Halifax and Charlottetown. This route is considered to be a paying one, as the steamers are nearly always crowded with passengers, going to and fro between Buston and Canadian mar- itime ports, while at some seasons freight has frequently been declined owing to the limited capacity of the bouts. We always considered it an anomaly that Boston capi- tal was allowed to reap the benefit of an almost exclusively§Canadiaa route.” A Boston steamboat man,speaking of the special despatch from Halifax the other day, in which was news of the organization of a new Canadian line..between Boston, Halifax and Prince Edward Island, says : ** If the owners of the International, the ¥armouth and the old Boston, Halifax and Prince Edward Island lines have no other competitor than the line now in formation they need not be dismayed in the least, as such an enterprise would never, according to the statement made by the projectors themselves, carry the enormous interest re- quired to meet the liabilities of such a line with 75 per cent of its capital mortgaged at the outset. With three steamship lines now fully covering the entire field, and managed with the economy by men thoroughly uainted with the require- gga of che Piieibes, it seems cloar that the. line, if established on. the basis alre escribed, would result itt « disastrous Gnaucial failure.” © Apvice To Moruens.-- Mrs..

M’ KENNA, THE CHAMPION, OR WONDER” —A_ BILLIAKD MAKES 2,000 POINTS AT THING OF HIS° CAREER IN AND THE EAST—‘‘5OO POINTS OR NO SCORE.” ** CALIFORNIA PLAYER. WHO A RUN— SOME- _— Mr. McKenna was born—with a cue in his hand, some say—at Detroit, Mich., 29 years ago. His passion for billiard playing seized him very early in life. When he was 10 years old he was the boy champion of all the region round. Two years after- wards, a family objection was made ‘to his playing and he ran away from home. .. He brought up in Caiifornia where he soon contirmed his championship at straight rail play. In San Francisco he made the high- est run on record, 1,641, in a game with Lon Morris. A year ago last may he be- gan to find playing in California a trifle slow, since he could give the local billiardists 500 or 1,000 points and then beat them out of sight. He came to New York. It was a very lonesome place for him at first. When he told billiard plavers that he could make 500 points with- out 2 break, they called him a crank. Final he met Maurice. Daly and got chance to give an exhibition in his billiard rooms in Brooklyn. result fixed McKenna’s standing for ever. In three consecutive innings he nade 413, 645 and 803 points, a total of 1,861. The Eagle said that his wasthe most wonderful exhibition of ball playing ever seen in Brook- lyn; that his command was marvellous, and his stroke perfect. In his first game in Brooklyn,, McKenna the next he made 1,540. In New York, Aug. 5, he made the remarkable run of 2,001, stoppiig before’ he broke, and, as the New York Herald said, editorially, ‘could have kept on. runving, for several weeks.” Shortly afterthis, Mr: McKenna started on a tour, in the course of which he has paralyzed the local billiard champions im all parts of the country. In / Hartford, , for example, he played against three opponents, scoring 998 to their 3. In Grand Rapids, Mich., he defeated the well- known player Burleigh by 1,606 to 159, the respective averages being 140.6 and 15.9. He has been in Canada for several weeks und it is need! ss to swy that he*hasn’t gone back on his record. ‘ The champion will give exhibitions at the, Qld London Billiard Hall wn Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, when the public will have an opportunity to witness his wonderful work ~with the cue.~ The game will be 500 or no count. It is_ not as yet decided who will be Mr. McKenna’s opponent. After each game the chan:pion will explain and play the 14 inch baulk line game, and give exhibitions of fancy shots.
