COLD STORAGE.

Tue one thing for which the peop!e of this Frovince wou'd be inclined to excuse an immediate expenditure of borrowed money

would be the erection of Cold Storage warerooms: for cold storage is needed to

supply a felt want on the part of our far- If nv other means of erecting cold could be the people would, we believe, be willing that the Provincial Government should borrow money for the ;urpo-e, in the hope that the revenue to be ebtained would meet the interest and eventually the prin - cipal. But other means are, fortunately, available. Weclip from the Canadian Journal of Commerce of the 3rd inst., the following paragraph which indicates the source whence the means may be ob- tained :

mers.

storage warerooms obtained

“The Bominion Cold Storage Co’s. en- terprise in Montreal,to which reference has been made more than once in our columns, has entered upon the second stage of its existence,and efforts are now being made to extend the system. Mr. W. Johnson of the company, well known to our own business men, waited onghe com- mittee on agriculture this week and made &@ proposition to establish cold storage warenouses in various parts of the Dom- inion,if the government would undertake to guaratee 4 per cent. interest for ten years on the autivipated ontlay of $3,000,- 000. The idea as already broached is to provide sach cold storage accommodation as may enable ho'ders of tarm products to place their goods on the market in prac- tically the same condition a: when pro- duced. The etock of the company was fairly well subscribed last fall, and should the offer be accepted, the promoters ani direc- tore are prepared to begin at once. It was criginally intended to erect warehouses ovly at Montreal and other exporting points, but on further censideration the company decided to enter the producing districis 89 that they might be nearer the farmers. Statisiics were quoted showing the saving to egg producers that muat re- sult. The guarantee, it was pointed out, would not be asked for antil the buildings were erected, and the government could exercise supervision in such a way a3 to control the issue of the stock. Most of the members were impressed with the import

nce of the scheme, aad after anumber of questions had been satisfactorily answered by Mr. Johnson, the committee decided to recommend the governrent to take the matter rato consideration. Prof. Robert~ eon, at the same meeting, outlined the in- tentions of the government with respect to providing cold sturage accommodation, and dwelt upon the success that had al- realy attended the shipments of butter to England. The policy for the coming season wonld be largely a repetition of last year's. Among the urgent needs to which he pointed were the establishment of cold storage warehouses at Winnipeg, Calgary, St. Jubn, N. B., Halifax and Chariottetowa, P.E. I. The market value of products was now largely deter- mined by their flavor. Cold storage ser- ved a three fold purpose in keeping the flavor, lengthening the season in which they may he consumed, and enabling the producer to keep them fur the most favor- able market. The cause of the Dominion Cold Storage couli hardly have bees pleaded better by their own representative, and the prospects are that their wishes will be favorably met by the government.”

We are assured that if a little encour- asemest aod assistance were held out to the company here referred to, they would le glad w erect the building forthwith and would give such guarantees, etc., as would satisfy ihe reasonable expecta- tions of all those who need cold storage.

As between the ownership of cold storage by the Provincial Government and by ® corapany,the results would be: On the part of the Government a consider- able increase to the public debt, added scope for political corruption and bood- ling, management under party favorites, unfairnese and favoritism towards patrons, an sunual deficit to be made ap Ly the taxpayers at large; On the part of the Dominion Cold Storage Company ,—no ad-

As between the two, we believe that the balance of public opinion will incline heavily towards the company.

OUR PUBLIC WORKS

Tar Commissioner of Public Works

says that he has “muc) pleasure” in sub-

mitting his report for last year. We think that the public will agree with Tae Ex- amiver that his feelings ought to be those of shame. Upwards of $30,00000 heve, within the past year, been spent by his de- partment, and what is there to show for it ? Certain'y, there is the new grit m’m ber for the third district of Prince County; ~but what else? To those who remem- ber how generally neglected our roads and bridges and public buildings were and are, it ig marvellous how even the genius of Mr. James R. McLean could account for

such an expenditure, in an _ non- election year, The items set out in the report ought tobe very fully ex- plained. If what we hear be true, some

of them are highly questionable.

NOTES ANDO COMMENTS.

—The grits at Ottowa are impeding public business by “obstruction” and the grits at Charlottetown are impeding public business by ‘ caucus.”

—The Pic neer points out that the net loss ou @:count of the operation of Char- lottetown, Southport, Rocky Point and We-t River ferries in the past year was $25,375 21, and says ‘that is a condition of affairs that may well make us pauee and reflect.” We should think so.

—The Orange Sentinel says: “ The Hon. Mr. Laurier has gone too far fors politician and not far enough for a states— map. By opposing the Remedial bill and denouncing the attempted coercion by the priests of the French Roman Catholics who aided him in opposing that mea-ure he has provoked the enmity of the Roman Catholic Church, and ensured for his op- ponents the full support of the Church vote. On the other ban’, by condemning the Government for its failure to disallow the Manitoba Acts in the first instance, and by allowing his lieutenants in Quebec to say that they are opposing the coercion bill simply because it is not coercive enough, he has prevented the supporters of the national school idea and opponents of clerical domination in civil affairs from rallying to hie support.”

—The Week: On the fifteenth of June the Congress of Chambers of Commerce of the Empire opens in Londen, and those Canadian Boardsof Trade will intend sending delegates—it 1s to be hoped the intention is general—should give close and immediate attention to the considera- tion of the eubjects to be discussed. Each one of the four chief subjects—commer- c'al relations between England and her Colonies, inter-Colonial trade relations, cable and steamship communications— are of immeuse and pressing importaace to Canada. As there is nothing about Separate Schools cr Roman Catholics in these subjects it is not to be expected that much interest will be taken in tnem here ; but it is to be hoped that the officers of the Boards of Trade wil] manage to secure one or two meetings for the discussion of the objects of the Congress.

a BRITAIN IN AFRICA,

(Montreal Star.)

The Dark Contioent threatens to te -oon alight at both ends. _Bz:itish diplo- macy, which is coming in for a good deal of criticism just now, bas succeeded, at all events, in tieing ihe Driebund to its Afri— can policy ata critical time. This will be most important if any difficulty should arise in tbe south which ebould give the German Emperor an opportunity to follow up his telegram to President Kruger. As things now stand Germany could hardly attack Britain in the south while a British column was marching to the relief of the Italians in the uorth. To do +o would be torun the risk of tearing the Triple Alliance to pieces, and giving Ita'y with her fleet to Britain as an ally. It will be hoped, however, that no difficulty will ariee with the Boers. They are a brave peopie who like to live alone; and there ought to be room for them somewhere in Africa. Diplomacy can display its skill by settliag the problem of the Uitlanders, without inflicting a sense of grievance upon the p‘oneers of the Transvaal. Still, the patent popularity of “Dr. Jim” in England should convey a hint to that astute leader, President Kruger, to the effect that Mr. Chamberlain has the “home” sentiment behind him in asking for a readjustment of existing conditions to meet new circumstances.

Diplomacy does not, as a rule, take the platform to defend itself. Secrecy is to it a vital principle; and hence it ia unwise to decide that a minister of Foreign Affairs cannot defend himself because he does not. About the only effective criticiem of diplomacy is finul failure; aud even initial failure has yet to fall upon the foreign policy of the present British Admiuistra- tion,

Mrs. Althia Hultz of Artimus, Ky.,has built a church through her own efforts alone. A year ago she made up her mind that a church was a need. She asked help from the miners, but they were poor to a man. Noihing daunted, she set to work. She gathered berries, tramped across the mountains and sold them. She raised a pig anda calf and donated them both. In every way in her power sheto led for the good end. Last fall she begged of the miners again. but this time for werk. She met with a ready response. A tract of land was bequeathed. Lumber was given. The little store of savings did the rest. The church is now under roof.

GARCIA IS SAFE, Greater Portion of Seized Arms and Am- munition in Hands of Patriots

New York, Apri) 6.—The Ward line steamer Santiago, which arrived yesterday from Santiago, bronghbt official news from Gen. Calixto Garcia to the Cuban junta.

Garcia landed from the Bermuda at Baconao, between Guantanamo and San- taigo de Cuba. The arms and amwunition were taken ashore in four boats which Garcia left pulled up on the beach. The Bermuda stood by while the transfer was being made, but as soon as this was accom- plished she steamed out to sea.

The empty boats were seized by a Span- ish cruiser and towed to Santiago. The press censor suppressed ali refe.cuce to

he incident.

From theee advices the junta is confident that the greater portion of the arms and smmunition the Bermuda carried out of his port is now in the possession of the Cuban patriot army and that if apy part was etrll left on the steamer when she was seized at Honduras, it was only a small port‘on of the original cargo.

ANOTHER SPANISH DEFEAT,

he Span.sh Command-r's Column Routed aad its Commander Killed.

Havana, April 6—Intelligence reaches this city of a fight that occurred among the hills around Sao Blas near Cienfuegoer ‘rovinee of Sauta Clara, between a col-

mn commanded by Col. Vasquez and a vo ty of insurgents. The latter occupi-d an elevated position which gave them a jecided advantage over the Spaniards who were taken by surprise. The troops claim hat the rebels used explosive bullets. — It is known that the Spaniards were defeated after a hot fight, losing many killed and wounded. Among the latter were Col. Vasquez and Lieut. Burou. At one time during the engagement the insurgents charged upon the troops with machets, inflicting heavy losses,

I'he olficia] account of the fizht says that insurgents lost 21 kil.ed and three wounded, while the Spanish loss was 16 wounded. The report says that the in- surgents were defeated, but like manv other reports issued by the government this is utterly unreliable. The insurgents as stated above. completely eurprised lhe troops, and utterly routed them. News- papers here report that Gemez with 4,000 menis going to Sigueanea valley. A court martial held at Matanzas has sen- tenced four prizovers of war tu death.

ALARM AT MAFERING. Sir HMereules Robinson Appealed te tor Protection From the Natives.

Care Town, April 6.—Alarm prevails >t Mafeking, and the farmera in the out~ lying districts are bringing their families into town, They declare that the natives in the country around are preparing to rice on account of the discontent aroused amongthem by the slaughter of their cattle in the effort to stamp out the des~ tructive rinder pest. This cattle disease had been creating great havoc among the herds of the Transvaal and most all the communication between the Transvaal and Rhodesia become paralyzed,

Mafeking is situated on the north~east- ern border of Cape Colony, with the Transvaal adjoining it on the east. It is the point from which Jameson’s raiders set out for Johannesburg. Itis also the point from which Sir Hercules Robinson, governor of Cape Colony, last week, de- spatched a force of five hundred British troops to assist im putting down the Mata- bele uprising. The border of Matabeleland is 340 miles to the north-east and Bulu- wayo is 340 miles away.

Measures have been taken to protect Mafeking. The inhabitants have held a meeting and decided to appeal to the gov~ ernor, Sir Hercules Robinson, to send troops, the police not being sufficient for the protection of Bechuanaland, to the north.

THE SUFFERING ARMENIANS, Titeous Cry for Help Still Going Up -The Work of Relief.

Bostox, April 6.—Mr. Moses P. Parme- lee writes to the Armenian board from Trebizond, on the Black Sea, of the g-eat amount of labor involved in the relief work in which he is aided Ly Mr. and Mre. Crawford, missionaries from Brousa. Frank H. Wiggin, 1 Somerset street, Boston, who forwards funds to the inter- rational relief committee at Constanti- nople, reports that he has already remitted $100,000 besides more than $50,000 addi- tional to the Arménians from their kind- red in the United States, yet these funds areexhausted and more ample supplies are imperatively asked for. There is no cessation in the accounts of appalling destitution coming from Asiatic Turkey. In all the vilayets of eastern and central Tarkey, people by the thousands are without homes, clothing, bedding and food, completely stripped of all they once had. Their cries for help »are piteous. Never iu the life-time of anyone now on earth has there be 1 a more piercing call for charity, and it is inconceivable that another call like this should come in this generation. There need be no fear that the aid will not reach those who need it. The present organization for distribation of relief is most economical. All it needs is more money. L«t that money come soon or it will be too late.

A cable despatch just received says that the need is increas'ng. Harpoot distribu- tion reaches fifty-four thousand souls and there are fifteen other centres.

COLONIZING ANTICOSTI, Quvepzec, April 6.—The well-known con- tracting firm of Simon Peters was oflici- ally informed from Paris tbat it has secured from Mr. Menier, purchaser of the Island of Anticosti, the contract for the construction of the wharves, ziers, mille and hcuses fora large number of colonists ou the Island. The contractors expect the accepted plans back from Paris this week, and will immediately set to work, and at the opening of navigation will be reacy to ship materials to the Is- land. Itis reported that a large vessel, the property of Mr. Menier, will arrive here from France early this spring, and will ply between this port and Anticosti.

THE EGYPTIAN CAMPAIGN,

Loxvox, April 6.—Despatches from C..iro say dervishes are threatening to make an attack upon the Egyptian fort at Helaib on the Red Sea and cut through the country to Korosko. The Egyptian com- mander at Murad Wells, which place is threatened by dervishes, telegraphs that he has been reinforced by the arrival of troops at Firket. A despatch to the Globe eays the dervishes have received orders from the Khaliff at Omdurman to make an at- tack all along the line of the Nile to Kes- sala. At Saukim it is estimated that 20,- 000 dervi-hes are now in readiness to oppose the advance of the Dongola expedi- tica.

What Helen Saw To-day in Jas. Patom & Co’s. Show Rooms,

My Dear NAN :—

Of course you, having heard me very often air my objections to go among acrowd to look at pretty things, can quite understand my rea- sons for persuading Messrs, Jas. Paton & Co. to allow me a peep into the veritable fairy- land which their show room presents, ready, as it is, to be thrown ‘open to the public to-

morrow morning. _I_ know that my principal

objection is selfish, but I always do want to look at pretty thing by myself, aud my wish was fulfilled in very truth to-day.

But Iam not going to forestall any one’s pleasure by describing the most artistic ar rangement of the store, therefore 1 am going to. tell you instead, my dear, about some of the lovely things I saw to-day,, things ‘that made me sigh for sufficient ‘* filthyduéfe” to buy, and buy indefinitely until I realized the fact that it is just as well that we girl’s pocket money is within due bounds, or we would treat ourselves on an occasion like this, not only to what we want, or really need, but also to a great deal we could do without,

If ever Dame Fashion excelled herself in a gorgeous display of beautiful colors, she has done so this season, and not only im colors, but in most beautiful, soft, luxurious meterials, Well, I will tell you first of what 1 know you are simply longing to hear of—the bonnets and hats. They are more charming than T have ever remember to have seen them before, and are sO varied that it is almost impossible for me to tell you what they are like:

Certainly, I leoked at the Paris productions first, for they are dear to the hearts of all women, and are this year actually not too dear for the average putse, at the same time that they are indeed creations of rare beauty, One of them -has a crown. of..colored Tuscan straw, is trimmed with soft ribbun bows, in shot shades of purple and green, while cow- slips and ivy leaves complete the whole, and adds a touch of color, which makes one im- agine that the flowers are not imitations, but realities. Another bonnet has a shot straw crown, and is trimmed with butterfly bows of goffered chiffon, while ornaments of brilliants and pearls give a particularly handsome finish. Still another is of black tulle‘and ribbon, with white velvet cords on the ribbon. A beaded crown is surrounded with sequens in every imaginable place, and although the bonnet is the quietest looking, in my opinion it is the pick of the lot. They are all small, and have velvet strings of moderate width this season.

Then the hats! If the bonnets are small the hats are correspondingly large, and in some cases are a perfect garden of gorgeous summer blooms. As I imagine that when you read this you will certainly go to the show and see for yourself, I am only going to tell you about one hat, and I want you to see it for a certainty when you do go. I[tisa marvel of loveliness. Made, on a nice shape, which: is finished with a straw edge and trimmed with shimmery black tulle that is edged with deep cream. The crown is com- posed altogether of wild rosebuds and leaves; the back, which is turned up, is hidden from view by half-blowu wild roses, buds and dark green leaves, some of which droop gracefully to fall on the hair. From the back of the crown rise two large roses, one in the richest and deepest shade of cream, the other a warm soft crimson, forming a perfect contrast to its companion, and giving a warmth of color which renders the whole complete. Those that I have told you of are all Paris designs; but there are others shown’which are the work of J. P. & Co’s own miiliner, Miss McEachern, which, if they were put in among the Paris creations, would be so thorougly at home there that no could tell that they had not crossed the ocean together, and which, while being fully as handsome, are much more moderate in price, and better suited to purses such as yours or mine, Nan, for it appears to me we come to the end of our money resources long before we intend to.

The untrimmed hats are especially pretty, Nearly all of them have wide brims, with full tam crowns, One style, the ‘ Fenlake,” would, I think, be becoming to any face. And, my dear, with all due deic:ence to your hatred of the coming woman, even her head- gear is provided for by, theCyclisi’s hat, a very pretty fine straw,almost an English walking hat in shape.. The bloomers, which will fully give us the coming woman, are not imported yet, 0 you or I, or any one it suits, can adopt the Cyclist’s hat, and [ think it will prove as comfortable as it looks,

The millinery which is not made up is simply bewildering in color and variety. Some of the ribbons are very gardens of posies in themselves, extra wide and scattered over with most beautiful flowers. There are wide, plain ribbons, and others in all the mixtures of color given by the changeable effects. Also sombre and pompadour chiffons, shot chiffons, and striped chiffons in black and green, heliotrope and black, black and white, and every other imaginable combination ; and you can find © ostrich mounts in all shades to match the hat ‘straws, Sequens are much used, as are quills in many varieties, hand-painted and gemmed, shot-quills and quills with ‘* bits of tartan.” There are jewelled wings and ar- griettes, and jet argriettes in numbers. The buckles are simply past describing. Some which I liked best were of smoked pearl and jet; the changing hues of the smoked pearl, showing to advantage the jet trimming, and giving the shot-effect, which is in everything, even toargr ¢ tes ar d sequens,

Now I am coming to the flowers, and I do really feel as if here isa subject to which my pen cannot do justice. Never before has Na- ture been so admirably copied as in this seas- on’s display of floral beauties; and Messrs. Jas. Paton & Co. having had their flowers made to special order, certainly rank first in the flower display this season. Beds of brilii- ant bloom do the flowers seem as one looks at them in their boxes and tries to distinguish one kind from another, for it would need an expert botanist to name all the different varie- ties, They are of every hue and class, from the modest margucrite peeping up with its in- nocent face from the mass of gaily colored flowers around it, to the proud and triumphant poppy, holding its head above all others, and rich in its magnificent eOloring and beauty. Scotch heather in all colors is also to- be seen, and would believe me, Nan, the real, genuine ‘* pussy-willow” that we used to cull in long ago days, occupies a prominent place among this season’s flowers ?

And the roses! They come in all colors, as also do the poppies. Some of the roses are crushed into soft masses of delicate bloom, white others are of deeper shades, and look the quintessence fof hot house} exotics. lillies of the valley nestle in their purity among deep-hued flowers, and louk so natural one can almost picture the cool, shady places in which they grow, and from whence they seem only a few momenitS since “to “have been plucked. Wall flowers, prim- roses, and bat I think I will say no more of the flowers, because I want ‘o tell you that the question of jackets or capes for summer wraps has been settled beyond a doubt, and capes have won the day. I was shown some Berlin models, and [ must try and give you some faint idea of what they are like. One is of Shot*silk’crepon, the ground of the goods is blue, shot with black. -The cape is trimmed with goffered silk, edged with lace, and is lined .with silk. Another one of plack cloth has a looped collar, and is trimme&with loops of cloth, which are edged, as well as is the collar, with bluet silk velvet, Again, another of black silk marvelle.x, trimmed with applique of black broadcloth which is stitched with crimson silk. This cape is lined throughout with marvelleaux. and its price is only $22.00. Thete was one of cardinal silk crepon lined through with marselleaux. These crepon capes had high ruffs of goffered silk around the neck, fastened with large black satin bows.

Gtit Obstruction Gone Mad.

The Bible Brought in to be Laughed at.

Eider Chariton’s irreverence.

Disgraceful in the

Orrawa, April 9.

The Grits have °developed into as full- fledged obstructionists as ever the Mc- Carthyites were. At midnight the House had been in session for fifty-seven hours continuously, and there is no sign of a let up. For nearly twenty-four hours mem- bers have been discussing whether or not the committee should rise. This enables them to discuss practically any . subject, aud was the means of causing one of the most scandalous exhibitions ever seen in Parliament. It was the introduction of a bible vy Mr. John Charlton, who read from it and commented.

Mr. Wallace asked, “Will the hon. gen— tleman please read about Joseph and his brethren?” (Much laughter) Mr. Charlton willingly obliged Wallace, amid Joud laughter.

This led to a dignified rebuke from Dr. Bergin, who indignantly protested against any man reading the scriptures to hold them upto scorn. He severely rebuked Mr. Charlton.

In the uproar which followed Mr. Mc Gillivray was heard to say, “Why, Charl- ton is an elder in our church.”

Dr. Bergin—* Well, if he is, the sooner you get rid of him the better.” (Great uproar.)

“If Mr. Charlton wanted to obstruct,” continued Dr. Bergin, “surely there were other books that he could have obtained to read without bringing the Book of all books into the House of Commons and ex- pou nding it in a manner to provoke ridi- cule and ribaldry.”

Dr. Bergin’s dignified and manly protest against Mr. Charlton’s irreverence was t! e one redeeming feature of this unfortunate incident.

The general impression in parliamentary circles 1s that there will be no let up to the committee stage on the remedial - bill until Saturday. From that time out the Government will barely have two weeks in which to close up the necessary legisla- tion. The supplementary estimates for the current fiscal year must be paseed, and will not likely meet. with much opposi- tion from the grits, provided the amounts are reasonable.

The Government will therefore require the greater part of next week in order to get these estimates and certain necessary legislation through the Honee, so that it is not likely that the Remedial Bill will be considered to any great extent after this week,

It looks as though there would be no ad- j-urnment until Monday.
