` TUESDAY MORNING JUNE 13 lilh

A NEW STEAMER ASSURED.

By law advices from Ottawa it is now

authorltntlvely slated that the Govern- ment will immediately undertake the construction ofa new ami more powerful lee-breaker for the purpose of improving our winter communication, pending the construction of the Tunnel. This in as

the I’eople`s Delegates were assured. But- the steamer will not he forthcoming for next winter; as the Department contends it will take a year to build it. It is hoped that in the meantime Iion. Mr. Prefon-

taine may afford us the use of one of the strong winter boats novriuscd elsewhere for next winter with a view to maintain-

ing on both routes the best service that can be given by stenlners.

It is the intention that an expert from

the Ilepartinent, probably Capt. McEl- henney, fortified by the experience gained in building the Stanley and Minto, and in the narigzation of the Straits during the recent severe winters, will proceed to the Old Country and make arrangements for the construction of the new ice-bre1\k~

cr. The delay of a year is regrettable, bud there is hope that it will result in~ecurir|z a better boat than could be had if the con- struction were tn be hurried unduly. 'l’l1e Tunnel agitation has never obscured

this great need but has undoubtedly help-

edjforward the project of providing a

new and powerful steamer, dtspitc the

predictions of certain interested parties to the contrary. So far everything goes to ` prove the wisdom of the course decided

upon last winter to dcrnand the construc- tion of the Tunnel, with s stronger and better winter steamer for use in the mean- time.

Our people have come to recognize that

it isby timely and persistent agitation we shall obtain ultimately a full release from our winter isolation. The Stanley was the direct outcome of tha movement lof 1886 asthc new boat will be the out- come of the 1005 movement, but while they are so many steps forward, the Province can never come to its own until the Tunnel

is built. That great work must come; it will be doubly valuable if lt comes quickly and before our losses become irrctrievable.

There. are now po\verful interests working in our favor and the general sentiment of Canada is to do us justice. All hope of bringing Newfoundland into the union, as is much desired, must be abandoned un-

.til the one Island Province now in the union shall be justly dealt with. The clear duty of every patriotic Islander is to stand firmly and hopefully behind this movement until success shall crown our efforts.

Today the by»elect-ions take place in

London and North Oxford. \Vo hope to

publish the results tomorrow morning. `

finntfslif-lil- About two billions of the Russian debt represents money that has been loaned by the people 0( France Russia has had annual deficits lor many years and has constantly borrowed money to pay interest on her borrowings. Hun- dreds of millions hsve` been expanded upon unproductive public works such as the Siberian Railway, upon the army, thc fleet and the fortifications of Port Arthur, Dainy and Vladivostook. Her fleets have been captured or sunk; Port Arthur and Dolny have fallen into the hands ofJspan; the Siberian Railway is doing no other business practically than to cer-ry supplies, munitions nndmen forthcnrmyund conse- quently has no receipts to offset against _the enormous expenses of operation. Under these circumstances neither France nor Germany will lend any more moneylto Russia and the problem for the Czar's Government is to obtain the means of

canying on t-he war and at the same time to pay the lntoroston the national debt. The financial situation in Russia makes

strongly for peace at the present time.

i_._g11 THE L`AT£ Hon. JAMES N|caoLsoa_

By the demise on Saturday last of Hon.

James Nicholson, Belfast loses a promin- ent and worthy citizen who had also rendered good service to the Province. In 1878, he was elected by acclamation to the then House of Assembly in the Conservative interest and was re- electeti the following year. At thc general election of 1882 he was defeated in the Assembly election but later elected to the Legislative Council and served in that body tlli the anialkaimitlon of the two Houses in 1. I-Ie was for some time leader of his party in the Council and was also a member of tho Executive from 1887 till 1801. -

Hon. Mr. Nicholson was born in Belfast

of Scottish parontnge in 1827 and educated there. In his longlito ho was a progres- sive and successful farmer, a consistent advocate of temperance and was for many

years an Elder in the PresbyterianChur<-h and Superintendent of thcSnbbath School.
