The railways and steamship lines com-
bined are doing more to hamper and
restrict Canada's ocean cattletrade thau
the embargo of the British Government.
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.

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

could cast loose their small boats she

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

under date of to -day as follows: "I re-

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.

DETROrr, June 20,—Mrs. Ella.Metcalf,
who recovered a veielict of woo on
May 5 against Mrs. 13elle III. Tiffany,
for alienating the affections of her hus-
band, Dr. William F. Metcalf, has be-
gun another suit against Mrs, Tilfatty,
together with Mrs. Tiffany's brine -rein
law, Burrett E. Tiffany, of Cleveland,
judgment for the amount of the verdict
was entered on May 12, but whett an
attempt was made to collect the money
it was found there was nothing upon
which the sheriff could levy. The ver-
dict was rendered about 11 o'clock on the
morning of May 5. Upon consulting
the books in the register of deeds office, it
was found that about 1 o'cloek the same
day Mrs. Tiffany had deeded everything
she owned to her brother-in-law., the
property all being real estate in different
parts of the city and in Springwells.
The bill filed asks that these convey-
ances of red estate be set aside, on the
ground that they are only for a pretend-
edsconsideration and made only for the
purpose of preventing Mrs. Metcalf from
obtaining what is due her. The judge
granted an injunction to prevent Burrett

ferring or encumbering the property.
