MaRITIME BOARD OF TRADE:

We learn that the Maritime Board of

Trade intends holding its third annual meeting in Charlottetow n. This is as it should be, as the first meeting was held in Halifax and the second in St. John. We have no doubt thatthe members of the

Charlottetown Board, and citizens generai- ly, will extend tothe visiting representatives ef the mercantile and agricultural interests of the Maritime Provinces a hearty welcome. The meeting will be held during the latter part of September.

GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH.

Ir is announced that the Dominion Government has coinpleted miles of the telegraph line ou the north shore of the St. Lawrence from the former terminus at Pointe Esquimaux, and that an office has been opened at Piastre Bay. Weare told, also, that it is intended to extend the line 488 miles more this sum- mer to Natashauan, where an oftice will be opened this fall. The North Shore line will still be about two hundred and fifty miles from Belle Isle, its objective poiut. But it is the intention of the Minister of, Public Works to complete this section as rapidly as possible, so that the entrance of the Straits of Belle Isle will be communication with Quebec and Montreal. While the Minister is in the mood he might, perhaps, be induced to purchase the P. E. Island telegraph system and provide a night service, at the public ex- pense, in order that our contemporary the Guardian may bean up-to-date morning paper. Our contemporary should work to this end.

HOSTILE LEGISLATION.

in direct

ee

Tue Montreal Gazette directs toa clause of the Dingley Tariff which has been interpreted as authorizing the imposition of 10 per cent additional duty upon al! foreign goods imported into the United States by way of Canada. The Gazette remarks that the matter is for the time being under the advisement of the United States attorney general, and liqui— dation of entries is not to be closed till his decision is given. The reading of the clause does not, unfortunately, leave much room for questioning the intention of Con- grees, which if not hostile to Canada, has a strong appearance of having been so. There is a clause in the section referring to the importation of merchandise “in ves- sels not of the United States,” but entitled by treaty or convention to be entered in the ports of the United States on payment of th§ same dutiesas shall then be payable on goode wares and merchandise imported in vessels of the United States. This, says the Gazette, may affect the legal aspect of the case; but it is not seen exactly how it can; and with the products of the Uniteg States being discriminated against by the Canadian tariff, there is not likely to be much inclination at Washington to stretch the Jaw in Canada’s favor. Ifthe position presently taken is adhered to, a very con- siderable trade that gives business to Can- addian steamship and railway lines will be eut off. The advantagesof the St. Law- rence route are not such as to overcome an extra 10 per cent. duty on *the goods that asually come by its water from Europe for shipment to the western states. There is also a considerable trade from the Pacific coast port of Canada tothe Atlantic and middle northern states that will be render” ed impossible. Indeed, Uncle Sam seems to have strained his great powers of invea- tion in contriving means of hampering trade between Canada and the States.

TEMPERANCE,

AND COMMENTS

NOTES

—The Guardian fails “to find any evi- dence” that there was a “deal” between the liquor party and the Liberals in reapect tothe recent elections. “There are none so blind as those who will not see.”

—lIf it be true—as stated by our corres- pondent—that only the Conservative among those who were recently convicted under the Scott Act was arrested, the case is the blacker for those conce ned in the deal. Welearn that the man arrested paid his fine this morning and was dis- charged from jail and that he says he was canvassed by the Liberals and offered exemption if he would but vote for Mr. Prowse. He declined to be bought in that way or to become a party to the deal, and he has been pounced upon while others are allowed to go scott free. This is “Liberal” justice.

CAPTURE OF ABU HAMED.'

A Very Lively Engagement.

After a Stubborn Fight Dervishes | Flew Precipitously.

—

News was received, a day or two ago, of he capture of the imporiant point of Abu Hamed by Auglo- gv pt an trooper. Later despatches supply some particulars of the fight.

Atter carrying the high ground over-

the town, the Anglo-Egyptian advanced (othe attack upon the village. A stubborn house to bouse fight ensued, and Col. Hunter was obliged to bring up the artillery before it was poss.- ble to carry the position, [ne total loss was twenty.one killed and

j tue

tror ps

sixteen wounded, of whom the tenth Soudanese battalion lost fourteen killed, amovg them two British cflicers and

thirty-four wounded. Majer H. M. Sidney fell mortally weunded wmile leading bis men to the attack and died in five minutes Lieut. FuzClarence was shot almost the

same moment through the heart. Three Isgyptian officers received several guu shot wonnas.

Col. Hunter in his despatch highly

the steadiness and dash cf the

pa throughout the engagement. The village is a network of crowded and twist- cd narrow alleys, so (bat most of the fight- ing was done at the point of the bayonet. Tue dervishes repeatedly charges through | the narrow streets.

Finally their cavalry, having lost over half their number, fled precipitately, fol- lowed by about one hundred infantry, These were all that escaped. The dervish commander, Mahommed Zein, was captur- ed. Another well known, Emir, stabborniy defended hiniself with his foilowers ina strongly fortified house, and was only killed at last when the house was destroyed by the artillery.

A number of prisoners, arms, standards, camels and horses, with other property, were taken. The Nile at Morawi is in a most unpleasant state from the corpses floating down.

The inhabitants, as during the advance of the Dongola expedition, have shown every kind of rejoicing at their deliverance from dervish oppression, The garrison of Abu Hamed has been much increased since the Khalifas defeat of the Jaalin tribe and the capture of Metemneh by his forces.

On the other hand, Col. Hunter’s troops vere assisied in capturing the town by rome friendly Arabs from Murad.

The loss of Ma’or Sidney and Lieut. Fitzclarence is deeply deplored. They were very popular in the army.

At present the general situation is as follows: The Khalifa.continues to rein- force the army ofoccupation at Metemneh under Mohmoud. Both sides of the river have been fortified. Msbmoud recently sent reinforcements to Berber, but recall- ed them on hearing of the advance of Col. Hunter upon Abu Hamed. He now tureatens to advance on Jakdul, a village held by friendly Arabs’ but it is expected that the arrival of the gunboats at Abu Gamed shortly will prevent him from leaving Metemneh with any considerable force.
