Leaving Tacon-a at 8.10 Saturday ,evening, a good nights' rest was got- ten by our party, while being whirled along the banks of the Fraser river. _4 we were awakened by the porter wa were nearing North Bend, where we 'were to to have breakfast. We proceeded on our journey and the points of interest which we missed in the night in going, we were able to view on our return. Sunday evening a stop of 10 minutes was given to view the great Albert Canyon, and here a view of the riva some 300 ft. below was seen from solidly built balconies enabling one to safely look into the boiling cauldron below. Revelstoke oa the Columbia river -with a population of 1200, is a railway .divisional point and the gateway to the great mining camps. The Loop is saon- reached when the line makes several startling turns and twists, firstcrossing a valley leading down from the Ross Peak glacier, touching for a moment on the base, then doub- ling back to the right a mile or more upon itself, then sweeping around to the left, then back again. and at last shooting down the valley parallel with its former course. Monda,y Aug. lst we reached Banff .and. breakfasted. at 10.30 leaving at 12, where halt a mile east the train stops a few minutes where a herd of buffalos were corralled. There are all sizesfrom the calf to the full groavn, with a robe growing around their necks and :shoulders. Our party took shots (snap) • t the herd then. all award for Cal - a gary. There we had. dinner and met the Governor General and Lady Aber - Regina the capital of .A.ssina,boia, where w' e had speeches galore. We had a sumptuous repast served in the Town Hall; the place being bea,utifally decorated with national flags inter- spursed with the Stars and Stripes. The Queen, the President, the United States, the N. W. Territories and the press were toasted. The large party rising each time to drink the toast, and here I would say it was nothing stronger than water. The mayor was master pf ceremonies and Nicholas Flood Davin, M. P. gave a very ex- cellent speech. While we feasted a fine orchestra played lively strains of music from the platform. At Regina there is a station with 800 mounted police, it is a, pleasant city and its people made an impression' on the American editors which will last a long time. We left Regina reaching Pasqua, where we were transferred to the Soo line, and at 6.30 Tuesday evening twined for home, here we have tvvo dining cars attached and no more rushing for meals. At Moosejaw we were met by Mr.H. P. Hall, of St. Paul, who extended to us an invitation from the Board of Trade of that city, to a banquet to be given us on our arrival there. We expected to reach St. Paul about 3 o'clock in the afternoon but as we were trayelling on no scheduled time and every time the train would stop all would get off, and as it was no easy matter to get 180 •or 200 people to- gether again, we lost time. However reaching St. Paul, at 10.30 p. even at that late hour we found a banquet awaiting us at the Commercial Club rooms,the usual toasts were given and responded to. The party breaking up about 2 a. in. all feeling that the St. Paul people were most courteous and kind in preparing such a reception at .deen, and U. great many of our ladies an introduction to a, real live lord dispersed all sorry to part after hav- niunber were presented. to his High- ing formed so mauss pleasant associa- mess. A lot of Indians were out in war tions together. On leaving our party paint and feathers. Whether they vice., we were personally entertained. by Mr,. -came to see the editors or the Mrs. H. M.

The yells of the As it quite an honor to have sociations were given and the platy Leaving Calgary we had a quiet ride -to Medicine Hat, at 22.30 as is put down on the C. P. R. time table, when we took advantage , of some refresh- ments On itwa,kening Tuesday morn- ing we were still 75 miles from break- fast, for we were to make an extra run clown to Indian Head, a thriving wheat growing town in Assinaboiaa There we had a very excellent dinner I served us, or tather breakfast, it was to us, after which we visited the ex- peratental farm there. One thing that interested us most was the brass band . Minnesota editors to the coast and re- turning with our party. We spent two pleasant days there and. will ever remember their kind hospitality a,nd attention. One of the noticeable features of our excursion was thenum- ber of Kodak fiends, also the craze for souvenirs at every point of iaterest along the journey, the mounted police and midshipmen being stripped of buttons and hat bands etc. Cana- dian flags, buffalo heads, sea weeds and stories, cow boy hats, Klondike dogs, etc., were also secured. One little girl on our train, in visiting with an - composed entirely of Iudian boys ex- ' .cept the leader. It was one of the best bands we had heard on the trip ancl yet it was composed of red -skinned -Cree Indians all from, 15 to 20 years of age with about a dozen pieces. They favored us with all the national airs besides other catehy and beautiful anusie. We then retraced our steps to other pretty little girl through the car window, was so inueh attracted by her new acquaintance that she wanted to talse her new found friend as a souvenir; of course the mother objeet- ed.

The British Troops Are Pighting the* 3Inssulmans. Who Have Long Been Discontented -Paucity of News. Cane% Isle of Crete, Sept 7. -Candia Is being bombarded. The British troop% whieh have been acting as police since the Greek war, ars fighting the Mussul- mans, riots are in progress and fires have broken out in various parts of the city. The Mussulmans started the disturbances. Crowds of them, supposedly armed, assen.'-leditt the principal square of the city to protest 'againet the favoritism whiele they allege the powers ars Shining , to the Christians. They threaten to tenet the houses and destroy the property of the Christians unless the state of affairs com- plained of is remedied, The Turkish gov- ernor offered to help the British. The Situation Serious. London, Sept. 7. -There is no doubt that Candia is being bombarded by the warships of the powers, whieh have been stationed in the 'waters of the Island of Crete since the powers took joint control of that island. The fact that no des- patches were received from Candle, alter the bombardment began seems to indicate that the situation there is serious. It has been known here that the Mus- sulmans were dirappointed as the joint rule of the powers in Crete. This was largely due to the fact that they were confined to the towns, while the Christians were allowed the liberty of the island. How the Trouble Bean. Candia, Island of Crete, Sept. 7.-Can- d1a at 8 p.m. yesterday was In a state of anarchy. The trouble began with the at- tempt of the British nrilitary authorities to install Christian officials. They had appointed a Council of International Control to administer the tithes revenues, and a detachment of soldiers was sta- tioned outside the office its a precaution. .A crowd of unarmed Mussulmans, who had been demonstrating against the Christians, attempted to force an entrance into the office. The British soldiers fired and wounded several. The Mussulmans ran for their arms and, returning, at- tacked the soldiers. Other Mussulmans spread rapidly through the Christian quarter, shooting into windows and set- ting many houses and shops on fire. It is reported that the British Consul has been killed.
