By The Times/Any CorresPonceut A HIDE TRIP To VIETOBIA. Moueay, Am, 21,— After rest the entire day on Sunday in Vancouver, we arose next -morning feeling. quite • refreshed and ready to vesnme our journey. Before leaviug for Victoria weewent down to the wharf where the 0, P. R. stir, "Empress of japan" was lying in port we all enjoyed a visit on thie beautiful steamer, and. the officers on. the boat very kindly escorted us all over the boat from top to bottom. •Mose of the deck hands are Chinamen. They keep everything about the ma- chinery and all other parts immacu- lately clean. We were thoroughly de- lighted with our visit on this floating palace and thought what an enjoyable tripee would be to cress the Pacific on oue of these vessels. About 11 o'clock m• all were ex- • pected to be on hand. at the wharf, where the Go-vernment stir. "Quadra" was in readiness to take us over to Victoria. •It was rather a blue Mon- day, as it was raining all the way oyer a distance of about 80 miles. Through the kindness of Capt. Walbran and Commissioner Gaudin the time did not pass so drearily, On board the boat we were given our dinner and supper, which all enjoyed very much, as the sea breeze seemed to sharpen our ap- petites, though I don't thiek we needed it very much as all seemed to do their share wheuever there was any of the good things to be had. Our boat keeps mainly along the eastern shore of Van couver Island. eeteeconvEa istaien. This island is about 270 miles long by 50 wide. It has a heavily- timbered surface, rocky shores, several lakes and rivers and extensive coal mines. Soon our steamer threads its way through the winding channels of the San Juan Archipelago, These are beautiful, rocky, wooded. islands, most of them inhabited. One of these is .called Leper's Island, and we were told it was now inhabited by a few lepers, who were mostly Chinese. Occasionaly a nevi recruit came to join this doomed colony- of perpetual exiles. DEA uTrgim NaCToRLL. About 5.80 p. m. we arrived at Cr -lee tone, we were to have an entertain- ment the same evening at the Esqui- malt harbor a, pyrotechnic exhibition on the water. Bat as it was such • disagreeable night we had to forego this sight. This city, the capital of British Col umbia, is beautifully situated on the southeast corner of Vancouver Island This island was originally %British col ony by itself, but is now a part of Bri Usti Columbia. The climate is said to be like that of the south of England. The town is peculiarly English. It is •one of the oldesb settlements on the Pacific coast. It has a population of about 25,000, mid can boast of magnifi- eent parliament buildings, which cost about $800,000 anti corer an acre of grouttd. Adeoinlog the government buildings is a fice museum. Victoria is a solid and well-built town, with good pavements: and all modern ina- proveinente, has a fine harbor and large commercial interests also good schools, churches, beautiful residence and fine hotels. These with its mild efixaate and fine surroimding scenery make it a fitvorite resort for tourist.
