WHEN President Cleveland in his first address to Congress suggested the advisa- bility of appointing an International Com mmission with the view of securing improved trade relations with countries contiguous to the United Star ind settling the fishery question, the Gloucester and Mai rit isher- xd resolutions loudly pro- ich met ANG pPisgse testing against any such commission. Some Oi; them I elare t that they ( uld ei all the fish th i} thers boast heiy ave limit, whil they would fish wherever they could whether Canad: ked it or n Senator Frye took in the Senate and succeeded for the time ing in defeating the President’s friendly proposals.

But there is no necessity for ill feeling, much less war, over the mat- ter; for the United States Government and the mass of the United States people are reasonable and disposed to do “the fair thing” —~ither respect our rights, or give us an equivalent for. the freedom of our inshore fisheries. it must be very incon- venient to American fishermen to be pre- vented from buving bait ai supplies in British . ports, and to be watched and /| harras ' "nr cruisers, Rit there is a} ; ay of setthiny the matter: Le! : the A ans “ive our fishermen and farm ers ft) $10 TNeWr MAY : for the pro- duct 4 nd farm, and their fishe) men 1 nd share with us the privi] ” h within the three mile limit. Until they consent to do this, there is hut feeling among the people of the Maritime Province, and that is, to protect our fisheries against the poachers. A Racy Sketch. Mr. Tanron, of the Annapolis Spectator, Visited us a few days ago, and has given a racy sketeh of the towuw and country. Of Charlottetown he says: “Fire has destroyed most of the old wooden buildings, and new and handsome ones have taken their places. The new brick row on (Jueen Square is a credit to the town. Among the new buildings we notice the Customs House and Post Office, now being erected by the Dominion Government. Itisa fine brown stone building, on the site of the old one, on Over the front Jueen Square, entrance is engraved the head of a man, which we took for a likeness of one of Charlottetown’s most popular citizens—Mr. Wm. Corish, fish mer- hant. But on equiry we were told that it vas supposed to represent Jacques Cabot, the liscoverer of the Island. Over the rear entrance is engraved the Royal Arms, The reason why the Royal Arms were engraved over the entrance was not explained at the time of ur leaving the Island. On the same square stands the Law Courts Building—a fine large building of red brick, and on which a tower is ereeted which sports an illuminated clock. Near by is the Provincial Building—the seat of Parliament. Through this building we shown by F. W. Hughes, Esq., Asst. Clerk of the House, and Mr. Reache, the Librarian. Mr. Reache took us into the Library, and the first thing of interest he pointed eut was a picture of Jacques Cabot. We enquired which Jacques discovered the Island, the one on the Customs Building or this one. He said they were both the same, only the one on the Customs House was taken from a picture taken four hours after he had were eaten a peck of Annapolis apples. This explains the mystery, and will, no doubt, be a relief to the citi- zens of Charlottetown, who have been sorely puzzled over the affair for some time. Mr. Roache then showed us a beautiful gold-headed walking cane which hac been presented to him. When he grasped shuddered. We went to Mr. Roache’s school when we were young, and the Noimal School don’t-know-my- struck the back of our neck ind only escaped from our heels when he laid the cane way. (Jueen Square is beautifully laid out with flower beds, trees, ete., and is a sight worth seeing. We under- private citizen has the whole charge, and attends to the flowers, for the public good. The drives around excellent, while its bathing facili unsurpassed. One of the favorite s is Victoria Park—near Government House. Here you can tne cane we Sar old esson shudder nd that one fillig j is e city are vies are ilk OCe asionally sec the ** Cricket Club at play. The members play often and wear nice suits, but they don’t know the game. ‘the city is } well supplied with gospel—I mean churches. ) If you are a Churchman you have your choice St. Paul's Low ; St. Peter's, High. If you wwe & Presbyterian you can go to the Kirk or Zion Church, anda Methodist can find conso- lation at the jirst or second Methodist Church. he Baptists have a fine brick chureh on a Kent Street, of which Rev. Mr. Whitman, of Ronnd Hill, Annapolis County, is the popular pastor, St. Dunstan's Cathedral is the only R. Catholic Church in the city but it is very large and accomodates a great number The Salvation Army generally turns out with four or five pieces of music in its processions, and they have leased a vacant church where they hold crowded meetings every night. The Gospel Army flourishes here also. The Captain of the latter corps is Miss Herbert, and she says that she was at one time a nun in an English convent from which she es- caped to the Salvation Army, which latter body she forsook for the Gospel Army. She has made some converts and captured a husband during her stay in Charlottetown. Two daily and four weekly papers are printed of Tateli yt peopte. or was a here. THe EXamMINer and Patriot are the dailies. They both print weeklies. The Herald and Protestant Union issue weekly. The Patriot is cold on the So is the Island in general. The only paper which mentions Repeal is the Summerside Journal, (Grit), and we are told this .paper is edited and controlled by a native of the U.S. The editor of the Patriot is a very tall man. It is said that while he was governor of the N. W. an Indian child living near his resi- dence had a fashion of crying for the moon to play with. That toy not being forthcoming, the youngster said to get the pale faced chief to hand it down if they had no other way to reach it.”’ Repeal question. ——_ Citizens’ Meeting. On Saturday evening last a meeting of citizens was held in the Market Hall forthe purpose of nominating a successor to the late Mayor Beer. Hon. D. Laird was appointed Chairman, and the undersigned Secretary. The Chair- man explained the object of the meeting. Charles Palmer, Esq., considered it re- quired a competent man to fill the position of Mayor, and that he should also have a knowledge of law, for the reason that the offices of Mayor and Stipendiary Magistrate should be amalgamated, Our taxes were now too high, and such a change would effect a saving to the citizens. He moved that Hon. T. H. Haviland be nominated as Mayor. Mr. Philip Large seconded the motion. Mr. T. L. Chappelle was of opinion that any radical ehange as proposed by Mr. Palmer regarding the offices of Mayor and Stipendiary Magistrate would elicit a pro- longed discussion, and could not be entertained at length at the present meet- mg. Myr. Chappelle nominated William Heard, Esq., which was seconded by Mr. Geo. E. Full. Messrs. Alex. McKinnon and J. P. Tanton stated that it would be well for the meeting to hear the viewson Civic questions of che gentlemen about to be nominated. Mr. Haviland explained that tlre could ibe no change in the policy of the City — uuncil for the next four months. He did expect or covet the nomination, but if was tendered him he would accept, and if placed in the civic chair, would carry out | the wishes of the citizens to the best of his ability. | Mr. Henry Davison moved, seconded by Mr, Jos. Taylor, that D. R. M. Hooper Per, | Esq., be nominated as Mayor. On a vote being taken, Hon. Mr. Havi- jJand received the nomination by an over- whelming majority. Mr. Haviland thank- ed the meeting. He said it was not his in- 'tentionto make apersonalcanyass: and, as he | previously stated, if elected, would see that the affairs of the city were properly ad- | ministered. | MM: . TP Newbery moved that as this was th meeting of citizens since the death ot Mayor Beer, that a resolution of condolence be passed and conveyed «to the widow and family of the deceased. Mr. John P. Tanton seconded the resolation which was unanimously carried. Rrewarp Wats, Setretary. Sept. 6, 1886. THE SUBWAY. Hiow the Survey is Going On. Kifisient and Careful Engineers. CAPT KIDD’S TREASURES. American Visitors Present. (Special Correspondence of The Examiner. Nor much headway has been made this week, owing to adverse winds. Borings in twelve fathoms can only be made during the ‘‘slack’” water between the tides. Only three borings have been made this past week, the samples from which show, like the others, a continuation of brick clay. After three more borings the deep water will be crossed, about two miles from the ‘*veef,”” when the incline toward the other shore will be reached. The report of Com- mander Maxwell, of the Gulnare, accom- panying his survey, which was made on May 28th of this year, states that no rock was found ‘‘between Cape Traverse and the reef off Cape Tormentine,” but I am inclined to the opinion that rock will be met with before that point is reached. To-day, with the wind to the southward, the water was very smooth, and the whistle of the locomotive of the ‘Sackville and Prince Edward Island Railway” could be heard by the boats quite distinctly, whilst from the pier here, with the glass, the smoke of it could be very plainly dis- cerned. the Engineers seem to work with per- sistent industry, taking advantage of every tide early and late, and after a hard = day’s work are often prevented from making a_ boring. They appear to be doing their work very efiiciently and with great care and accuracy and a desire that the report of the survey shall leave nothing to be desired in the shape of further surveys or information re- specting the contour, formation, and coim- position of the bottom of this Northumber- land Strait. Many are the surmises made by visitors here respecting the work of the engineers. One who pretends to have more than an ordinary knowledge of the matter, says he knows what they are aiter. | He has seen this kind of thing before at the Bay de Chaleur and other places—ihey are boring for Captain Kidd’s last treasures ! This has brought out quite a host of stories about ships on fire, and lights at sea here, which have been seen from time to time for the past half century at least. Such stories have caused many applications to go out in the boats, but the engineers scrupulously refuse to carry dead-heads, which in many instances strengthen the stories above alluded to. Be that as it may, I think that if the boxes containing the treasures are in the way across, I doubt if they will escape the watchfulness of the engineers. We have had some half dozen Ameri- can visitors during the week, who express- ed themselves highly satistied with this place as a summer resort. It is a common- ly expressed wish here—in which I share also—that a daily train should be run here during the summer season, so as to. give visitors an opportunity to visit this pleasant home. If ‘‘bathing tickets’ were then issued at about one dollar there would be, lain sure, many of your townsfolk who would avail themselves of it and often spend a pleasant Sunday here. ee ee ee eee The New Commander. Vice- Admiral Algernon McLennan Lyons, appointed a-commander-in-chief on the Can- adian station, was born in August, 1833 and entered the navy asa cadet in 1847, pro- moted to sub-lieutenant in 1852, lieutenant in 1854, rear admiral in 1884. He served in the Black Sea throughout the Russian war of 1854-85, as acting lieutenant of the Firebrand, and commanded the boats of that ship, after the fall of his captain, in the destruction of Russian works on the Danube, being mentioned in despatches. He was present at the bombardment of Sebastopool on the 17th October, 1854, and as flag lieutenant to the commander-in- chief assisted in subsequent operations on the Black Sea, including the capture of Kertch and Kinburn, receiving the Crimean and Turkish medals, Sebastopol clasp and order of the 5th class of the Medjidie. Ad- miral Lyons commanded the Racer on the North Ameaican coast during the civil war of 1861-2. From 1875 to 1878 he was com- modore in the West Indies, from 1881 to 1884 commander-in-chief in the Pacific, He was appointed in 1876, retaining the appointment until 1878. The staff of Aduural Lyons will consist of Flag Captain Bouverie F. Clark, Lieutenant Hugh Evans Thomas, and Secretary George Liddell. ~<a The London Standard says that Prince Alexander has committed a serious blunder, and the only unworthy act with which he can be reproached. It is carrying the comedy of courtly dissimulation too far to pretend that the Czar did not approve of his deposition. England has done her best to promote peace inthe Balkans, If she fails, Austria and Germany will either suifer grave injury or make heavy sacrifices, They may yet rue the day that they aban- doned Alexander to curry favor with the Czar A deputation of twenty-one French workingmen who recently visited England were expected in a fortnight to glean such information as to enable them to ‘‘describe the social and political organization of Great Britain,” including the whole system of local government and the question of the burden of taxation, the co-operative move- ment, trades, unionism, and benefit and building societies. The railways of Great Britain carried last year 697,215,000 passengers, 183,776,000 tons of mmerals, and 73,511,000 tons of merchandise, f the passengers 603,762, - 117 travelled third class. The rolling stock consists of 15,196 locomotives, 33,568 pas- senger vehicles, and 54,163 goods waggons. Working expenses absorbed 53 per cet. of | the gross receipts.
