Immigrant rates will be cor- respondingly raised from other Atlantic seaboard points in the Trunk Line terri- tory. The U. S. Treasury gold reserve stands at $41,215,181, the lowest point it is likely to reach for some time, as the gold of the Belmont -Morgan syndicate will soon begin to make its appearance in the reserve and swell its proportions until it again reaches $100,000,000 - One of the worst wrecks that has occur- red on the New York Central & Hudson Rivet Railroad in some time occurred about two miles north of Rhinebeck early on Friday mording. The American express train smashed into afreight 'car and dashed into the river, carrying with it Engineer James Donohue of New York and Fireman Frank Green of Catskill. Both were ser- iously injured. At Lynn, Mass., a dozen firemen were buried by a wall falling at a fire in Hutch- inson's hardware store. The flames were dangerously near the spot where the men lay busied, and all the available streams of water were brought to bear on this point. The work of rescuing went on rapidly, and in half an hour eleven firemen had been taken out. Three of them were dead, or died in a few minutes after being taken out. They were Capt. Henry L. Skinner of chemical engine No. 1, Thos. Murray of engine No. 3, and John Donlan of steamer No. 3. GENERAL, The Pope's health is much improved.

Persia is about to'try the experiment of produeit g its own sugar. Beef root culture on a small scale has already proved d o e y pvd a sue- cess, and this year the root is to be cultivat- ed very extensively. The Czar has caused an intimation to be given to the Armenian Catholics that he willnot receive them. The Catholics who had started for St. Petersburg are, there- fore, returning home. A diphtheria epidemic exists in Palermo, and the sick who cannot be isolated in their own hones have been taken to a lazaretto opened for the purpose. Twenty year ago this malady carried off 4,000 children in the city. Japan is Rich. There is a general belief that Japan is a poor country; that a long war would ex- haust her more than many other countries —China, for example. Probably the idea originated in the extreme lowness of prices in Japan, but that is no criterion. Living is cheaper in London than in Hong.Eong, but nobody calls London a poorer place on that account. As a matter of fact Japan is now rapidly becoming self -supplying, and therefore need have little fear of exhaustion. She has money enough for all requirements. her taxation is very light, yet her revenue leaves a surplus ' over 'expenditure every year; her imports about balance her exports, and both are increasing yearly, and are not' suffering in the leaet from the war. When the accumulated surplus (above 40,000,000 yen) had all been voted a way in War expenses a war loan of 30,000,000 yen, and now another of 150,000,000,have been, readily raised without eatising any appreci, able dislocation. Government bonds were about 6P er cent, premium in the beginning of the year,when there was a distinot boos in the market ; now, when the war has gone on three months, the surplus los been spent, and the los ns been raisedtheys sti n at 2 per cent. premium, with aUp- ward tendency. The country is not poor In any sense of the Word. The land, though of hardly larger extent than England, and in some parts too mountainous for cultivation, atfpports a population of 40,. 006,000, and produces a rice orop whiolt is usually larger than the Whole grain prop ot Russia.

Hardly a day pauses, says the Yancouvet World, butw e arek d as ed by oorrsbponata e abroad to answer the question, "Is there any for a farmerwlthl1mit d means to get a start and make a fair living in British Columbia ?" Our invariable answer frankly,ie "Yea." Mixed farming if conduct ed as it should be, will pay handsomely. But there must be hard, intelligent work, no matter where. d the rancho may be locate orba w t the, surrounding conditions. The won i io da Is as andy past,ie not likely to returnfor many a year to come, when fortunes oat be made by raising stock on the Interior ranges and allowing them to run wild ; or in mak- ing a success of grain growing—that is in certain sections of the province. For in- stance, in the Spallumoheeu and Okanagan districts wheat, of the very best quality, an be grown successfully. The same favorable conditions exist. in Lillooet and Cariboo, and in a few sections of the Island. Oats, peas, barley, and rye are grown with advantage in the valley of the Tracer, as well as wheat to a very considerable extent. But the upper country is scarcely adapted for the latter and the cult:veep of barley as well. Dairying offers SPLENDID INDUCEMENTS, as the consumption of butter and cheese,. population considered, in British Columbia iasimply enormous—almost incredible. It is claimed by those who should know that our importation of butter alone exceeds in value $5,000 for every day of the year, to say nothing of cheese. The raising of hogs and poultry pays well. Those who devote attention and intelligence to these lines of ive stock cannot fail to make profits, greater returns in fact than can possibly be obtained anywhere that we are aware of. British Colurnbia can hardly be said to be a poorman's paradise, but those who have a little means, lots of perseverance, pluck, and energy, a will to work, and strong, brawny arms, need not apprehend failure here. New -comers should be possessed of sufficient capital to give them a fair start in the avocations in which they are about to engage. In many sections land can be bought at very reasonable rates. In others, according to locality, they rule high. These are based on the yield, the condition the soil is in, and buildings. Our advice to all is to buy. Delta or cleared land, even if the prices asked appear to be high, Timber- • ed property here is costly to clear, that is where heavily wooded, and in many in- stances after it has been got ready the owner has but a gravel bed for hie pains. Such may suit the horticulturist, but the intelligent farmer prefers a black, loamy soil on a clay bottom to a sand hill. In some sections the growth is easily denuded and the mould the very best ; this applies to land covered with alder, cottonwood, birch, and maple. PARTLY IMPROVED FARMS can be had at sums ranging from $10 per acre upwards. The climate, for dairying purposes and successful fruit growing, cannot be excelled. For these there is .a good home market, indeed it is practically unlimited. The rate for transportation may be said to militate against the ship- ment of fruit, but these in time will be rectified, and British Columbia fruit grow- ers will 'enjoy . the same advantagea that Eastern California, Washington, and Oreg- on now do. So far as prices are concerned, a glance at the market quotations will at once con- vince any praetieal farmer that those of British Columbia are far in excess of any realized elsewhere. But to those at a dist- ance, not familiar with the existing facts,. it is well to state that labour here is dearer than it is by the Atlantic , margin the mar f n is not so great that the farmer, the stock raiser, or the fruit grower and the poultry men are not left handsome profits on their investments and the results of their labour. Butter ranges in this country, quality al- ways considered, from 25c to 60c per lb. Eggs realize about the same. Hogs are ti for at sums a dranging in from 5c to sic PB g ?� per lb., live weight. Wheat ruled• this year very low, but the average price has ranged between $25 to $30 per ton ; oats $22 to $35 ; peas, $30 to $40, and barley about $25 to $30. Delta lands yield pro- lifically. In many kinds of grasses it is simply enormous, giving as high as FOUR TONS OP HAY, to the acre. In cereals the same ratio is maintained, whilst in roots and vegetables the results are likewise a surprise to those who are not familiar with the matter. The climate also favors the agriculturist, as the weather does net run into extremes, either in heat or cold. Then there is the enormous advantage farmers here enjoy in being free from the pests whioh elsewhere are so dis- astrous to the products of the field and the garden. Steps have been taken to stamp out these who are committing havoc in the orchards in many sections. Added to all these is the boonfarmers on the coast enjoy of transportation rates and choice ot ready cash markets in Vancouver, New West- minster, Victoria, Nanaimo, Union, Well- ington, and other points. There is a 'great drawback, from tho ef- fects of which the country is suffering, that is the quantity of land held by many who are cultivating but a fraction of their pro- perty, We are aware that it is a difficult matter to compel a proprietor to sell against hie will ; but if his reserving such estate is tor the purpose of a future ad, vanes in value—and this no doubt is the line of policy many are following—munici- pal and provincial taxation should be im- posed in such a manner as to compel him to sell such of it as he is unable to profit- ably work in blocks of 5, . 10, 20, and 40 acres. This course adopted, those of email means would be enabled to buy and work heir properties to the best possible advane tage, yielding them handsome returns on the capital invested a As we have y said,British A. already B t Colum: bia is AN INVITING FIELD for the farmer. If he has a penchant e a pn ntfoc stock -raising, he shouldget the best breeds bre da of blood possible in horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, and poultry: The day of the scrub ant,. 'withal is past the experience' of Eastern Canadians will bear out this statement. To the farmers of that section of the Dominiolr Britieh Columbia should be a Mecca.. . As a rule these have proved to be our moat etc. (woeful agrioultnriats. They have been brought up to the avocation, and taught to apply nerve and brain to their work, and those who carry these into effect in this province need have uo reason to complain of the change made in accepting Horace Greeley's advice to go West, even to the shores of the wide Pacific ocean, The bane of the country has been those who under« took the pursuit without either knowledge, means, or energy. The " remittance man who will not work, has also been an mode- siraU 10 element Happilyfor the country these are not so numerous now as they once were. Their money, is all right, if judiciously y expendod and utilized as it should be,but this, unfortunately, is not generally done. THE MESSAGE CAME TOO LATE. Dn Death Had Co coalod;thelDaughter's Erro —She WYas Mourned by a Gray-liairesi Parent to Whom HerWas slu L'rt- known. She had died at midnight. The lights burned dim. The opal gleam of dawn had stolen into the closely curtained room with its tapestries, its pioturea—the refinements of a gilded Life—where so recently had gathered a reckless party of revelers, who laughed and danced and sang bacchanalian souge. In the midst of it all a white hand clutched frantically at a white throat, then a woman reeled forward—dead. Tenderly they lifted her onto a low couch, and then those women, whose 'diamonds glittered from throat, from ears and from hands unused to toil, stood awed by the presence of this unknown, •visitor,notknow- ing what to do. The winter wind whistled and shrieked around the corners in a mad dance. The signs wreaked and moaned as they swung on their hinges. The shutters of the house acrose the way made a doleful sound as though they, too,knew there was a etrange caller opposite. It attracted no attention from passers-by on this street that the curtains were drawn at midday, and the shades gave no token of life within. There was no crape on the door. The two trees in front, wraithlike swayed to and fro, their leafless branches, like arms outstretched to Heaven in suppli cation and in prayer for 'forgiveness. She had died at midnight, yet she had on the crape robe that has shown to per: fection her beautiful form, with her strong white throat, androunded arms. Some one had already stealthily taken the jewels from her, despite the superstition about the dead, The blood -red roses she had worn at her waist lay where they fell, a withered, faded mass. Some of the scat- tered petals on the floor made them shud- der, they looked like great drops of blood trampled into the carpet, About 3 o'clock in the morning, when life in that quarter of the city is in its mid- day, some policemen had Dome in, aaked a great many questions to no purpose, and left again. Late in the afternoon came a hearse and a carriage. It was a etrange thing for a woman to die in the house, and stranger yet for a hearse to be there. They were very superstitious about that. In her trunk were many lettere filled with tenderness and love from the home far away. They sent her back to those honest folks after finding those lettere, robed in white, with her hands clasping lilies of the valley—aa pure and spotless as they had thought her life bad been. At 7 o'clock it was all over. The yellow street lamps shone forth with a wolfish glare, and as the doors were opened laugh- ter and song and jest were heard. A tall, dark foreigner was playing a beautiful tilting waltz, and the dead girl waa forgot- ten, and life flowed on the same old way. In that far-off town a mother mailed this letter the same day: "My DEAR DAUGHTER: It has been a long time since I have had such good news to write. Your father paid o2 the last note of the mortgage g r ag theweon, old home with the money you sent to -day. 1 am so glad, and want you to come home at once, for there is now no need of your staying in that big city, working as I know you must have worked, and denied yourself every pleasure to help us so much.

Come before Christmas, dear, and we will be so happy together again. It will be a merry one, and I am sure the new year holds more happiness tor you than the old one did. We both send our fondest love to you, and pray God to watch over you, and guide you home to us, even as He . guided the Wisee M n of the East, until n tl you are again in the arms of your loving MOTHER."

Natio is gazetted of the incorporation of the Bank of Winnipeg. A new poet office has boon opened in Renfrew County, and is known es Wilson Bay. Commissioner Robertson announces that he is prepared to take charge of shipments off } res 1 creamery butter for export to Great Britain. Twenty-five yeare ago banana growing in Jamaica was insignificant, just enough for hone wants, but during 1892-93 bananas were exported from the island to the value of £400,000. Canadian seourities are in many instances higher er in London. Canada 4 per cents are selling at 113, an advance : of one and 3's at •101, advance of •j. Montreal 3O's higher at 94, and Toronto 3i'e at 95. The receipts of grain are small and in consequence prices are firmer. Oats are selling at 30o to 31c, on the Northern, and arequo q sed in Toronto at 33io to 340. White wheat is quoted at 58o west and at 59c on the Northern. Dressed hogs firm at $5.20 and $5,25 at Toronto. The United States Treasury gold reserve stands at $41,215,181, the lowest point it is likely to reach for some time, as the gold of the Belmont -Morgan a ndicate will soon begin to make its appearance in the reserve and swell its proportions until it again reaches $100,000,000. The plan of the Petroleum„Trust to eliminate speculation by stopping the issue of certificates seemed to have failed thus far, and in fact the only change bas been a sharp advance in the bid price. But hold- ers seem anxious to retain certificates even when the bids were made at over $1.03. The market at the West was more active in amount of actual transaotions, and the quotation was the highest in a long time. Refined oil ham remained unchanged for weeks in spite of the activity in certifi- cates, but at last the effect of speculation is felt and during the past week the price advanced from 5.80 to 5.95. Speaking of the condition of Newfound- land a recent issue of the London Saturday Review says : " Newfoundland's history has been more or less a chronic crisis, and it will surprise some of those who obtain their information chiefly from reference books to learn that In 1842, ten years after she was given representative government, her constitution was withdrawn because political passion rendered it unworkable. Her present constitution dates from 1855, and her record under it shows responsible self government, and the system of paid membership to have been as small a bless• ing in Newfoundland as in any of the Au- stralian colonies. Political corruption condoned or ignored by the electors has been followed by financial collapse, and disasttoue seasons. have aggravated more than mistaken credit system. Badfaith and bad luck have combined to work the ruin of the oolong, and Sir William White - way, her late premier,' who was among those unseated for electoral corruption during last summer, never did Newfound. land a worse tura than when he stood in the way of her, federation with Canada in 1888." Wholesale trade at Toronto is without epeoialfeature. The more moderate weath- er tends to improve the general feeling,and the distribution of merchandise will be facilitated. Merchants speak with more confidence regarding the outlook for spring trade, but there are no indications of en, hanged prices for leading staples. The comparatively small stooks of merchandise in country points remains as one of the favorable factors in the situation. But manufacturers still complain of heavy atocks, with a limited demand from the trade... The movement of country pro- duce has been restricted by the heavy fall of snow in many sections of tha province, and in consequence higher prices are quoted for barley, oats and peas. Freight are lower from western points, and to . this fact the higher prices of produce are also partly due. There is practically no wheat coming out, which gives rise to the feeling that there is no more of this cereal in the country than will supply domestic require- ments. This accounts for the relatively higher prices in Ontario than in the United States and Britain. No. 2 white wheat sells at 58c to 8 60c. Flour is less strong g than wheat, and the mills throughout the country being run only on part time ac- count for the scarcity and higher prices of bran and shorts.
