When this trade is prosperous, rates for shipping are put up so as to exact for the transportioa companies profit which legitimately belongs to the farmer and the middleman. And, even when the gravest difficulties surround those interested in this industry, the carriers do not hesitate to squeeze the last dol- lar cmt of the man whom they have at their mercy. It is the duty of Parliam- ent to limit the extortions of these ship owners and railroads. The railways have been bonused to the extent of millions by Canadian tax payers, and • the vesselmen have received indirect • benefit almost as great. The people's representatives should see, therefore, that those who have benefited so largely .by public expenditure do not use the opportunities given them to oppress the • public. No TECAT KIXD.

Loemoez, ,Tune 2e1. ----A most terrible calamity has befallen the British battle- ship Victoria, flagship of the Mediterran- ean squadron, and hundreds of lives have been lost. The Victoria, which flew the flag of Tice -Admiral Sir George Tryon, R. C.B., was run into off Tripoli by the British battleship Camperdown, also belonging to the Mediterranean squidron a,nd under the command of Capt. Charles John- stone. The Victoria, had an enormous hole made in her side, through which the water poured in, torrents. • The immense hull of the Victoria, at once began to settle, and before those on board of her could cast loose their small boats she went to the bottom, carryingdown with VOS x, vecroute. her nearly all on board, Soule of the officers and crew mauttgedeto get out of the suction caused by the sinking vessel and were rescued. Among those lost is Vice -Admiral Tryon, The first report of the disaster stated that about 200 men had been drowned, but later despatches show that the loss of life was far greater, not less than 400 of the officers and crew of the Victoria baying gone down with their ship. She was of 10,000 tons and 11,500 horse power and carried 10 gnus. Admiral Sir George Tryon was com- mander-in-chief of the Mediterranean station. He was made a vice -admiral Ang. 20, 1891. Rear -Admiral Albert H. Markham of the Trafalgar, the ilag-ship of the Rear - Admiral in the Mediterraneau, has tele- graphed to the Admiralty from Tripoli, under date of to -day as follows: "I re- gret to report that, while manceuvring of Tripoli this afternoon, the Victoria and Camperdown collided. The Vic- toni s sank n 15 minutes in 18 fathoms of water. She lies bottom uppermost. The Camperdown's ram struck the Vic- toriaforward of the turret on the star- board. side. Twenty-one officers were drowned. Two hundeed and fifty-five men were saved, The injury to the Camperdown has not yet been fully ascertained, but it is serious and, will necessitate her going on dock for repairs. I propose to seed the survivors to As soon as the officers of the Victoria saw that there was •danger of their ship foundering, orders were given to dose the collision bulkheads in order to keep the water in the compartments into which the Camperdown had shoved. her ram. The sailors triedto obey the order, but the ship was making water too fast to allow of closing the bulkheads, and. while the men were still trying to abut them, the shin with her immense gum; and heavy top -hamper turned over ane carried them down, Capt. Bourke was in command of tht Victoria when she sank. The complement of officers and crew of the Victoria comprised 600 men: The list of officers drowned. include besides Vice -Admiral Tyron, Chaplain Morris, Lieutenant Munro, Fleet Paymaster Rickford, Fleet Engineer Foreman, En- gineer Harding., Assistant Engineers Deadman, Hatherly and Seaton, Gunner Howell, Boatswain Barnard, Carpenter Midshipmen Inglis, Grieve, Fawkes, Langon, Henley, Gambier and "Scarlett, Cadet Stooks and Clerks Allen • and Savage. The first despatches concerning the accident led to the belief that the disas- ter had occurred. off the coast of Tripoli, in northern. Africa. Later advices show that the scene of the calamity was near Tripoli, a seaport town on the eastern Mediterranean, 50 miles northeast of Beyroot, Syria, and a comparatively • short distance from the Island of Cy. prus. In January of last year the Victoria ran aground off the Greek coast, near Plateau, and she was only floated off after an immense amount of labor and large expense. It was said the accident was due to carelessness. Hon. Maurice Bourke, captain of the -Victoria, and a son of the late Earl of Mayo, who is the youngest post captain in the British navy, was held respon- sible for the accident, and was severely reprimanded. by court martial.

In some quarters indignation is eapres- SOO that such an accident shoulcl occur, but so far as known there is no founda- tion for this feeling. The lack of details, caused by the remoteness of the scene of the disaster, allows of no expression of deeuite Opinion, and full reports of the accident are eagerly ewaited.
