Tokio, Feb» 22.—One of the condi­tion* tmdrrwhtrh the present Satan J1ministry^, succeeded to the late Katsur administration at the ctoee of the great struggle was that it -Should carry Into effect the policy of railway nationali­sation formulated during the regime oT the latter. • The pledge thus given waa duly fulfilled. The grounds upon which th<* authorities based their de­termination to take exclusive charge of at vast a branch of national activity were for the most part strategical retther than economic, and no secret has been made of the fact that mili­tary power was inalnty fesrmftstbta for the project. •

Tha marine and fisheries department at Ottawa has decided upon the plains for the new twin-screw cruiser for the fisheries protection service, on the Pa­cific coast. The Time* l# able to give a sketch of the new vessel together with a full descriptftfi of it. The crois­er. It wllj be admitted. Is one which will reflect the greatest credit upon the de­partment .and seems to be admirably adapted for the service and the waters of this coast.

The cruiser has been designed by ft resifiri,! -»f Victoria. EL L. N-'Wiun, whose wide experience is a sufficient

j guarantee of the efficiency of the vessel j for t ho service for which It 16 intended, j it is Indeed highly satisfactory to Vt< - ! turtans that the designs and speclflca- ' lions throughout for this the ftrirt I < Unadtau cruuer an Uie raain,. iOWuI4 , have been prepared by one who Is now

felt for some time. Th* Increasing 1m- | portant e of the fisheries on the coast i has Induced United State* vessel* to J take chance* on poaching In Canadian j waters to the disadvantage and loss of 1 Canadian*. The Kestrel was built some years ago for the protection of the flshertfsJ but It has been found 1m-

f-possthtt* for tlwft vessel to afford ade­quate protec tion owing to the vast areattr u* core T' ii.

The administration at Ottawa has manifested a deep Interest In all that pertains to the fisheries of this coast in common with all other branch** of the. service. It was therefor* d*cld*d that a fast crui**r should h«. built. The accompanying design show* th* vessel deel4le<Vupon. It will have a speed of 19 knots and Is constructed to weather an‘kind's or sea which may b* met with In the patrol of thfe- coast. The speed required necessitated a very substantial vessel of goo2 kagth and tide th.- de­signer. Mr. Newman, has provided.

Considerable Interest is being taken of Vic­

The streets, for in­stance, have to carry a continually In­creasing amount of truffle ifl order to •upply the demands of a growing pop­ulation Jt .lji/j. in tlveir. natural state they haye a most dilapidated appear­ance. In order to And out the opinion of one who Is a competent • judge of such matter», and the. way 1n which 1t has affected other cities, an Interview wa»^ yesterday sought with John Ar­buthnot late mayor of Winnipeg.

Mr. Arbuthnot Is very decided In his opinions. He thinks that the provin­cial government might well take the matter In hand and help V‘ beautify the rupital city This has been done ♦n OHawt in Washington. ^n<1 would be a great advertisement to the prtwrtww The prov Inclai *&&£&*?* Mr. Arbuthnot thinks, could well ir- forft to do this, and It would pay them well.

They had this experience In Winnipeg, where visitors coining to the city "would always choose a property on a bottlevarded street, evan if they

HOB NAILS IN PARLIAMENT.

Comrade Grayson, an English member

ot the Imperial parliament, appears, to Judge by his language, to be a man after the heart of our own Comrade Hawthornthwalte. Mr. Grayson Is pos- slbly not quite so furious as British Co­lumbia’s Socialistic leader, but still he wags a somewhat waspish tongue. It

appears John Bums. Mi P„ has com­mitted the unpardonable sin. He was ones one of the elass-çonscloue. But, having succeeded in accomplishing

something tangible for jv good cause, he has become a aucceaetul ITlglk BUfc eesa In any walk of life cannot be par­doned, according to Socialistic ethic#. The wonder is t^at ’Mr. Burns lasted so long. Comrade Grayson I» down on the press of course. In ilie address to which our attention ha,

been directed he asked what con­cern the capitalist press had with the- Diety. Property waa their only deity, and he would not be on praying .terms wtth. such a god. Capitalists wor­shipped Mammon six days In the ■' K and prayed lq be squared off on the seventh. If It was a case of having to choose between the workhouse and theft he would prefer the theft, be­cause. however the workers stole, they wootd have- difficulty In getting level with the capitalist system which had robbed them, so hard add su lung. Theft was woven Into the capitalist system,

To tn ,.oTd unnecessary notice to a movement which we be­lieved and hoped to he .confined to a mere handful of ardent patriots — sincere enough In their professions but over-xealoua In thetb desire to see them put tW - ff A■— would have given weight t" a propaganda which we npected to die a najural death in view of the recent international nego­tiations.

"While the result of the Lemtevx negotiations at Toklo may not meet the needs of the crisis at every point, w- are - ompelled to give the Federal Government credit for doing Its best in taking one step at a time.

Paesengers who disembarked from the Hamburg-’American Company's steamer Fuerst Bismarck, at Plymouth, a few day» ago. relaied an eYtaordlti- ary story of an encounter between the liner and a whale.

As the llnvr wh* a pproachlng Cor­unna. the weather was hasy. but away in the distance was neen what was first thought to be a waterspout. A little later It wa* realised that It was i whale disporting itself, and shooting up jmmenae volumes of water Into the IF at frequent Interval»"- ' -:

The appearance on the scene of the Fuerst Bismarck was evidently re- sefHM by the whale, which was be- twee-n 40 and 50 feet In length. Sud­denly ceasing Its antic*, the huge crea­ture swung round and headed straight for the starboard siu> «if the vessel.

Before the captain you Id manoeuvre Io foil the whale. It «tmrged the liner with terrific force, miking the ship shiver from ntwt Lafcrn. Th,e. b,f steamahlp. however. wa| proof against a shock which would ff£ve sunk a small vessel.

The whale disappeared, is probably explained the captain of the steam! which arrived at Plymouth -- ernment stores from CardlA He re­ported that when about a r*lle west from Harland Point the carca|se of large dead whale was passed, t

It wa* 40 feet fh length, and feet out of the water, and wa ly dangerous to navigation.

Perhaps no country In the world haa had a^ more eventful history than the Pacific Coast region from California to Alaska. vNo wilder, more . savage peo- plefi ever existed than the Indian tribes which once so thickly populated the

nd island shore»~orthis tér- rltory. No African blacks had more weird rites, more barbaric customs, more savage orgies. Reared on a rug­ged coast line, they were splendid canoemen, expert and tireless hunters, and. under the law of the “survival of the fittest,” were bloody fighters and merciless victors. There are many signs that most of the tribes were large, the more populous numbering thousands in the old days. Tradition also tells ut this, and of the bloody feuds wtoicb in some cases ended only with the total annihilation of certain tribes, or of the absorption of the depleted remnants by a neighboring friendly people of great* «r strength. As a rule, the men were of arréragé height, the exception being the Hydahs of Queen Charlotte Islands, who were, men and women, exceeding­ly tall. Living far out at sea In their isolated Island home, • they learned to tashion for themselves well modelled canoes, strong ami shapely.

One spring day "Pacaca” went out In search of cranes, which at the time were work­ing northward, and alighting In num­bers on thé plains.

. About the year 1865 “Pacaca" organ­ized a fishing expedition to the head of the Saanich Peninsula. Accompanying him were his wife, daughter and hi ere, and a male relative of his wife. The party proceeded by canoe to a small island lying in the channel between Saanich and Salt Spring Island, and made camp for the night. XVhen at the appointed time they did not return, seoreff was made, and where the camp toad been were found the murdered re­mains of the entire party.

About H00>080 worth of gold which. of courue, he never would secure, as It would cer­tainly vanish or be stolen on It* way to the coart. For this gold he had be­come Involved in a dreadful complica­tion which would cost • him much misery and, sooner or later, life Itself,

"Yes. O Asika, that is the name of his mother, also of one of hia sisters, whom, after you. he loves best of any­one in the whole world. When you are here he talks of no one but you.

Day by day she sent for him. and when he came, assumed » new char­acter. that of a I woman humbled by a sense of her own ignorance, which she was anxious to amend. So he must play the role of tutor to her. telling her of civilised peoples, their laws, cus­toms and religions, and instructing her how to write and read. She listened and learned submissively enough, but all the while Alan felt as one might who is called upon to teach tricks to a drugged panther.
