Stanley's March.

Sranzey’s letter from the Aruwimi River covers about eight columns of the New York Hera’d. It gives a dramatic account of the miseries through which he and his men passed on the vay to the relief of Emin Pasha. nakedness, desertion of native troops, pillage and desolation spread in his path, months of gloom in the heart of immense African

Theadvance column, under Stanley's com- mand, left Yambuya June 28, 1887. Onits approach, the natives fired the villages, and attacked the

men were wounded just below the heart; but though he suffered greatly for nearly a month, he recovered. Oa reaching Kilongolonas, the party had lost fifty-five men by starvation and desertion. They halted thirteen days in Ibwiri, and revelled in fowls, goats, ban- anas, corn, sweet yams, beans, etc., the result being that when they set out for Albert Nyanza, there were, out of the 389 who began the march, 173 mostly sleek and robust men. At Kilongasongas, on the 9th December, they entered a powerful and hustile country. War was declared against them. But by the aid of theirrifles, the skill ot their sharp-shooters, and the determined bravery of Lt. Stairs and others, they repulsed thethrong of sav- ages which enclosed them and proceeded on their march. Albert Ayanza was reached on the 17th, greatly to the delight of Stanley and his more desponent men. But the natives were hostile, and connections with boats had not been made. The party was in afix. It was decided to march back to lbwiri, build a fort, and send a strong party back to Kilongalongas fora boat. This latter task was successfully plished by Lieut. Stairs; and, forty-seven days having expired, the party set out to return to Albert Nyanza. The natives, having tasted lead, were more placable than before, and on the 29th April the party reached again the bivouac ground

6-6-o — Hon. D. Ferguson remarked last evening that ‘* the Opposition seem to be losing heart and dispairing of ever gaining office.”” Certainly their incoherent words and actions lend color to this statement.

—Itis to be noted that the Leader of the Opposition voted against the Op- position in one of the divisions call- ed for in committee last evening. His balky colts would persist in jumping out of harness ; and he was forced to vote inde- pendently with the supporters of the Gov- ernment. Demoralization evidently reigns in the ranks of the Opposition.

_—-One result of the efforts of the Opposi- tion to further reduce the salaries of the Officials, bas been to call attention to the efficiesvy of the public service as now con- ducted, and the excellence of the public servants who have been retained by the Government. Than Messrs. Newbery, DeBlvia «nd Morrison, who were attacked last evening, it would be impossible to find men bettcr fitted for their positions, or more faithful to the interests of the country.

Hon. Mr. Bentley triumphantly met the charge that the present Government are not spending 4s much money in the country as their predecessors, by quoting a statement showing that forthe items of wharves, bridges, roads, ferries and !educa- tion, the Government paid $181,002.98 Jast year and $172,034.57 in 1887, against $178, - 908.30 in 1877, and $154,478.29 in 1878. iene shes that though the Govern. the administr: ri ad maaan een they have ill as a I a eo. irene on ae 1 OF more money in yw aoe all the years they have been Wun ox trevegent proteonure,

Our Civic Rulers. AN IMPORTANT MESTING —THE ESTIMATES FOR TRE YEAR SUBMITTED, AND A GOOD DEAL OF OTHER BUSINESS TRANSACTED,

Tue regular monthly meeting of the City Council was held last evening, His Worship Mayor Haviland, presiding. There was 4 full attendance of members.

COMMUNICATIONS,

A letter was read from H. Rackham offering to purchase the building formerly used as a pumping station at the Spring if a suitable arrangement could be made. Referred to Public Property Committee.

A letter from the Board of Fire Wardens asked permission to sell certain useless pro- perty now on hand. Laid on the table.

A letter from the Secretary of the Board of Fire Underwriters informed the Council that there was shortly to be a revision of the insurance rates, and that the style of fire alarm they adopted would have a gvod deal to do with the work. Laid on the table.

A letter from Robert Galbraith and others asked that the Council build a small breastwork at the eastern end of King Screet to carry off refuse matter in that neighborhood. Referred to Street Com- mittee.

A letter from the Fire Department sub- mitted their estimates for the year. Laid on the table.

A letter from the Secretary of the Board of School Trustees asked for a payment of $500 to meet expenditure. Referred to Finance Committee.

A letter from A. F. Tomlins, Clerk of the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court, explained that there were 959 more cases in the court in 1888 than in the previous year, and that the extra labor thus entailed upon him had seriously impaired his health. He asked that the Board give hima small grant as a recompense for this extra work. He was voted $50.

A letter from John Murphy offered to keep the pumps in order the current year forthe same price as furmerly. Referred to Finance Committee.

A letter from certain residents and pro- perty-holders on Douglass Street asked for street extension to Lower Malpeque Road. Referred to Street Committee.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.

Councillor Eden submitted the report of the Electric Alarm Committee, reporting in favor of the system controlled by Mr. A. E. Morrison, the cost of which would be bet ween $1,400 and $1,600, including the cost of material, superintendence, etc.

Councillors Eden, Morris and Douse were appointed a committee to purchase material and superintend the erection of the alarm; and were also given power to employ a competent electrician to work under their supervision.

Councillor Douse, from the committee appointed to consider the claim of Dr. Warburton, reported that his claim was in no way different from that of the other doctors, and the committee considered that the amount already paid him should be ac- cepted as a settlement in iull. Report adupted.

Councillor Douse, from the committee appointed to inquire into L. P. Tanton’s claim, reported that the bridge which caused the injuries to his horse was private property, and that consequently the city was not liable. Report adopted.

Councillor Morris, from the committee appointed to enquire into the amount of outstanding accounts against the city on the 3lst December last, reported’ that the amount was $6,174, including the balance of $1,990 due on the new City Building.

Councillor Horne did not think the statement a fair one. There were several accounts in it which properly belonged to this year. So far as he could see the amount due on the 3lst December was $358.81.

The report was adopted.

THE EXHIBITION GROUNDS,

Messrs. Sutherland and Blake were then, on motion, heard before the bar in re- ference to matters connected with the new exhibition grounds at the eastern end of the city. They asked that certain pasture lots, which it is intended shall form part of the exhibition and driving park grounds, and which were situated just outside the the city, should be embraced within the limits of the city so as to have the by-laws for the punishment of drunk- enness, etc., made applicable thereto. They said that the Association had joined the National Association of the United States and the Maritime Circuit, and that the opening meeting early in Qctober next would, without doubt, be one of the most successful ever held inthe Provinces. In view of this fact, and the fact that it was intended tw lave the park conducted in a manner which could not fail to meet with the approyal of the most fastidious, they thought the Boxsrd would readily see the importance of granting their request. They also asked that the property in question be exempt from taxation. Consideration re- served,

AFTER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Councillor Morris moved and Councillor Byrne seconded the following resolution :—

Whereas, Before this [sland entered into the Canadian Dominion, the Local Govern. ment acquired proprietory estates covering about four hundred and thirty-two thousand acres, and the total value of acreage on such estates sold up to the 3!st day of December, 1888, amounted to about six hundred and twenty-six thousand dollars. The import and excise revenue until that time was also paid into the local exchequer, and it seems a reasonable estimate that one-sixth of these duties, at least, was paid by the inhabitants of this city. At our enteriag into confedera- tion a sum of $800,000 was placed to our credit for the purchase of the remainder of the estates of the proprietors, and although this has been about all spent and the amount absorbed by the Local Government as well as the Dominion subsidy of 80 cents per head. By the Act of Incorporation the Local Government is relieved from the heavy expense of opening up new streets and keeping all in renair, as well as the other large sums for which the would be liable, but for the said Act. When successive City Councils have applied for sums, or at least a portion of what they were entitled to, they have been able to obtain little or nothing.

Be it therefore Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to His Honor the President of the Legislative Council, and another to the Honorable the Speaker of the House of Assembly, requesting them to bring

He thought that these estimates would be sufficient, and that there would not be a deficit at the end of the year.

Councillor Morris then introduced a by- law, specifying the rate of assessment on real estate and personal property, for city purposes, which was read a first and second time and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The ass:ssment on real es- tate was fixed at 1 per cent; and on _ per- sonai property at of acent. A bill al-

lowing a discount of 24 per cent. on all; real estate and personal property taxes paid by the 15th July next was also read gs tiret and second time and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. -

Councilor Morris also introduced a by- law specifying the rate of assessment on real estate, personal property and poll-tax for waterworks purposes. The assessment on personal property was fixed at } of 1 cent; on personal property } of 1 cent, and on poll 10 cents. The bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.

Councillor Byrne referred to the excel- lent character of the work done by the As- sesors, and said he would take the first op- portunity of moving that they receive an increase of salary.

Councillor McCarron moved that the services of special policeman John Harris be dispensed with at the expiration of his present month. Carried.

Councillor Douse, seconded by Council- lor Eden, moved that policeman Campbell be dismissed, and that John Harris be ap- pointed in his stead Be

On motion, consideration of this resoliu- tion was postponed until next meeting.

Council adjourned.

The adjourned regular meeting was held this forenoon. The by-laws introduced last night were passed, the resolution ask- ing for the dismissal of Policeman Camp- bell withdrawn, and Councillor Douse re- signed his position asa member of Street and Market Committees
