ST. PIERRE, Miq., Aug. 23.—Tlie French liner Champlain, carrying distinguished citizens of France to Canada where they will take part; in the Quilter-centenary celebration of Jacques Cartiers discovery of the Dominion, sailed from here tonight; after l1 three-hour stop over.

The big liner will sail into Hills- borough Bay to Charlottetown at. 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon when passengers will land to take part. in the proceedings. Towns-folk of St. Pierre were disappointed tonight that; the visitors could not. come a- shore owing to bad weather and a heavy swell.

However, a. few of the delegates landed, including the French Minis- ter of Public Works, Monsieur Flan- din, and the Mayor of Saint Molo. They were greeted at the pier by a group of French Canadians who had travelled to Si. Pierre especially to greet. them. The distinguished Frenchmen were officially ivelcomtrd to the colony by the administrator and the lilayor of Si. Pierre. The visitors replied in bi"lef addresses.

And with pageantry and ceremony will be inaugurated a round of celebrations marking perhaps the greatest event in Can- adian history.

I; will be a far cry tomorrow from that June day in 1534 when the Si. Malo explorers little vessel made her first landfall in what. is now Canad- ian territory off Campbeils‘ Point. and Cape Sylvester. ‘Then only the Miemao Indians inhabited Prince Edward Island and Cartier caught no sight of them as he sailed past. the island's coast.

But, tomorrow official representa- tives of Canada. will be here to wel- come the IFrcnch visitor's as they land from the liner Champlain. Canada's official welcome will be extended by a ﬁction-Canadian. Hon. Alfred Diiranleau, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, and. Hon. Murray MacLarcn, Ministz-i" of Pen- sions and National Health.
