` 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.

Legislative Council and served in that

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. -

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
