The Conservatives have entered a protest against the return of Mr. Breithaupt, the successful candidate, and the IAbâ€" crals have filed a cross petition against Dr. Lackner. _ Both gentlemen have been up for preliminary examimation at Berlin during the past week. _ The fishing, however, was not very proâ€" ductive in cither case. _ Neither canâ€" didates knew anything about the manâ€" ner in which the clection had been conducted ; _ indeed, about all they knew was that one had been clected and the other defeated. _ Previous to this, there had beey an official scrutiny of the ballots. A great deal of the proceedings in connection with â€" these election trials scem to be of little use, other than to enable the lawyers on cither side to pile up big bills of costs, If this protesting business continues as it has been for the past half dozen years, it will not be sate for any person who is not cither independently â€"rich or independently poor, to be a candidâ€" ate for Parliament. In the former case a man can stand some picking by the lawyers, and, in the latter case, where there is no picking, they will let him alone, and he will be allowed to retain peaceable posscssion of his scat. â€"Seaâ€" forth Expositor. This shout about wanting witnesses and alleging that they were kept out of the way is a picce of flubâ€"dub, and none know it better than the gentleâ€" men who were trying to run the show for Tory investigators who didn‘t want to investigate. ‘The result is an exâ€" penditure of several thousands of do}â€" lars; the examination of ninetyâ€"nine witnesses before a committec on which sat thirtyâ€"nine lawyers; the loss of three weeks of valuable time from pubâ€" lic business by the members of the Privileges and Elections Committce, and the failure to clicit one fact that could eause the arrest of one deputy returning oflicer or any one elso for wropgâ€"doing in the West Huron clecâ€" tion. sewage problem seems far from ed. There will be close to 13000 feet of additional sewer pipe laid this year in Berlin which means that the sewer farm, which is already taxed almost to thelimit, will have to be enlarged. As it is, the people living in the vicinity or the farm have for some time back made laud complaints regarding the influenâ€" ce of the farm on the sanitary conâ€" ditions of that neighborhood. Dr.Bryâ€" \ ce has visited the farm and reported: and the township authorities are talkâ€" ing of issuing an injunction to restminl the deposit of sewage there. Berlin‘s The Conservatives have filed the «bill of particulars" in the North Watâ€" erloo election â€" case. _ The ‘Toronto World works the charges as enumerâ€" ated into a "scare" bead and | seeks to give the impression that everything has already been proven and that <Mr. Breithaupt â€" should at once resign. Louis J. is not afraid of a full investiâ€" gation, and every opportunity will be given for a full inquiry. â€" But until some indiscretion or worse is proven, Mr. Breithaupt would do himself and his constituents an injustice by resignâ€" ing â€"Galt Réformer. The Republicans are coming to stand for the classes, trusts and wealthy corâ€" porations; the Democrats are opposed to trusts, and to imperialism, and Bryan still clings to free silver, a plank which unless abondoned or put very much in the back ground will prose a mill stone around the neck of his party. Over a year intervencs between this and the date of the next presidential election but both parties are getting ready for the fray. MceKinley and Bryan are likely to be again the canâ€" didates. That Mr. Breithaupt‘s examination in Toronto developed nothing advanâ€" tageous to his opponents is very eviâ€" dent from the absence of big headlines in the Toronto World. 4 Btrange that the Tories have so litâ€" tle to say about a general election since Bir Richard Cartwright has spoken.

My next letter will deal with these. The famous big tree was broken off about 50 feet above the ground some years ago, and the stump is holâ€" low. _ I saw a photograph of a horse and buggy with two occupants which had been backed into the tree, so that the buggy was inside. _ As nearly as J ‘ could measure by stepping the tree was 18 feet across at three feet above the ground. . Its beight when in its prime 1 could not tell, but judging by. other specimens near this one may have reared its prond erest 300 foet above the earth. six fect through and 200 feet high stood so close together on the ground in some places, that, standing looking at them, it seemed to fairly tax one‘s credulity to believe one‘s own eyes. Nothing but the sight of them would ever have couvincedâ€"me that the thing was posâ€" sible. _ Next morning Mr. George Edwards it., formerly of Waterloo, met me and we wheeled to the Park to see the big trees. â€" We saw the famous cedars, .'mJ:T the Douglas firs,reaching their straight stems tall and slender to the height of 200 to 250 feet and measuring from six to ten feet in diameter, say three feet above the ground. â€" Cedars of three to six feet through and 200 feet high stood so close together on the ground in some New Wostminster is gradually reâ€" covering from the terrible fire which laid it in ruins last September. â€" It was a nice little city but the blow was a heavy one, and it could il} endure such a set back in its growing time. Leaving New Woestminster by clecric railway about cight miles away, we reach that bustling city about 6 p.m., or as they say here at 18 o‘clock. At 20 o‘clock,the corporation gave us a sumpâ€" tuous banquet at the Vancouver hotel, a very fine place indeed, owned by !hv‘ C. P.R. After speech and song, we get away to our homes thoroughly weary with sight seeing and "funcâ€" tions." ‘ _ The fish could not be canned, . the cold storage buildings were speedily filled,there was no other resources open but destroy the surplus and it was done. We wers shown through one eannery. It is a sample of the rest. We were struck with deftness and despatch with which theChinese laborers handle the fish, and also with the great care taken as to cleanliness at every step. LeavingVictoria on Wednesdaymornâ€" ing in the Quadra we have an 80 miles sail to New Westminster. On the way near the mouth of the Fraser as well as for miles up the river we pass through the salmou tishing fleet. ‘There are more than a thousand of them, each boat has two men and they fish with nets just as they did of old on the sea of Galilee, and it often happens now as it did then, that the net is well nigh broken by the multitude of fishes. But we saw nothing of this superabundâ€" ance though we were assured it freâ€". quently occurs. Not long ago we are told, the fish came in so fast that the cannery managers were unable to handle the harvest of the sea and deâ€" cided to take only 100 fish from each boat. The boats came in fleets cach Inden according to capacity with 400 to 700 fish. _ It seems a terrible waste to throw back threeâ€"fourths of that day‘s eatch into the river,yet nothing clse could be done. We called on Lieut. Gov. Mclunes, and were very kindly received by His Honor and his amiable wife and family. The young people and the Mayor and Council accompanied us on our trip in the Quadra to Esquimalt where there is a dry dock, in which Her Majesty‘s ships of war can be overhauled. The Admiral with three cruisers and severat torpedo destroyers were in the the harâ€" bor, and we were privileged to visit the Warspito, the Admiral‘s flagship. The young ofticers in training, or mid~ dies, were detailed to accompany us through the ship and explain everyâ€" thing. ‘The one who came with me was a very intelligent and well ecduâ€" cated young man. He showed us the working of the steering apparatus, the mysteries of the conning tower, the operations of theHotchkiss quick firing guns,the Nordenfeldt‘s and other machâ€" ine guns, the torpedocs,the engines,the electrical apparatus, the big guns, in short everything. â€" ‘There are 610 men on this ship alone, but Her Majesty has scores of ships that could smash this one in a few minutes.

Te production of gold for the year 1898 shows an increase of $53,000,000 over 1897, according to the report of Director Roberts of the United States Mint Bureau. Since 1896 the United States and Australasia have had to surrender the first place to Africa, and as the returns of her production for the present year are estimated by some at $100,000,000 there is no doubt she will lead the world in the productâ€" ivencss of gold fields for many years to come. The recent discovery of the rich gold fields of the Yuhkon have ‘ brightened the prospects of Canada whose output for 1898 was more than double that of the previous year.

He was ready to war upon the Samoans, but war with the United States was another matter. "I have the bonor to inform you that, having received information that American property in the Latoga viâ€" cluity of Laulii, Lotoanuu and Solo Solo is lable to be invaded this day, 1 am here for the purpose of protecting the same." A shot from either vessel meant war between the two countries. «When op posite the native forts, the Adler came to anchor, and the Adams anchored between the German and the shore. Bo close were the vessels that no guns could be fired from the Adler without passing over or through the Adams. Then Commander Leary sent this note to the German commander: . .On the day previous a message came from Mataafa to inform Commander Leary that the Germaus had threaten ed to attack Mataafa in his strongâ€" hold on the morrow. .Both Mataafa and Tamasese had ln%dk themâ€" selves in fortified places ut seven miles from Apia upon land under American protection.

Commander Leary ran hbis sliip beâ€" tween the German and the shore and when about 800 yards from the Ad ler gave the order: "Clear for action?"
