Strong Opposition to the New Dominion
Tariff-Mine Products.
SAN FRANCISCO, April Ga Victoria DIS
patch says: The relations of this province
with the Dominion is approaching crisis
on the new tariff, in consequence of the
tardiness of tho Canadian government in an
nounc1ng its railway policy, causing much
uneasiness even among the friends of con-
federation. DR.. Ash, member of the local
parliament, has given notice of the following
motion: That the house is of opinion the
tariff of customs duties now about to be en-
forced will be injurious to the interest of this
province, and that unless the building of the
Canadian Pacific railway is Immediately
commenced in this province and vigorously
carried on, it is unjust to require that an
increase of taxation be levied to provide for
the construction of public works and for the
projection of industries which, without direct
railway communication, cannot possibly sur
vive, should be borne by the people of British
Columbia.
The annual report of the minister of mines
for the year ending Dec. 81, 1873, states the
total yield of gold from all parts of the prov
ince is 81, ,275,204. The number of miners
employed extracting this amount, 1883

warriors, surrendered Internationally on the
I'd of March, and are now in Col. Woods
camp Oham is supposed to be an aspirant
for Cettewayo's throne. Th=re has been no
important military movement against the
Zulus. Ekowe is still surrounded. The
Fifty-seventh regiment has landed ut Durham
from Ceylon, and is now marching to join
Col. Low. The latest intelligence from
Ekowe is that the garrison are we'll, but tLeir
provisions are running short. Cettewayo is
reported to be organizing large army at
Royal Kraal The Ninety first Highlanders
arrived at Durham the 10th of March, a bat
talon of the Sixtieth rifles at Cape Town the
18th of March, and battery of artillery at
Simon's Bay the 18th of March. Sir Bartle
Freere has gone to Pretoria. Two forts on
the border of Chief Lecocoenis' country
have been evacuated by the British.
oHAM's SURRENDER.
CAPE Town, April 6.-Oham surrendered
in Swazieland March 4th. It was first
falsely reported his overtures for surrender

British before moving in any way. The
Boadica landed 200 sailors at Port Natal.

Especial Telegram to the Globe
OTTAWA, Ont, April 6.-In consequence of
the firm stand made by the French conserva-
tive members in the Letellier matter, the
government held long cabinet council yes
terday, the result being that it was decided
that Hon. Mr. Longevin, postmaster general,
who is the leader of the Quebec contingent
on the government side of the house,
should proceed at once to England to lay the
views of the government on the ques, ion
fully before the home authorities. It is
thought Mausseau, if he does not withdraw
his resolution, will agree to q very material
amendment, and by this means allow the
matter to remain in its present position until
the result of Longevin's mission to England
is known. The report that the government
will appeal to the country if decision ad-
verse to their advice is rendered by the home
authorities is confirmed on good authority.
QUEBEC, April 6.-The conservative press
of this province do not Withdraw single
step from the position assumed yesterday,
with reference to Lorne's action on the
Letellier difficulty. A correspondent to-day
interviewed number of prominent con-
servative politicians, five out Of six of whom
averred that they prefer annexation to the
United States to the regime of an English
whip and Downing street interference with
the responsible government in Canada.
They say that the same spirit is alive in the
French Canadian bosom as prevailed forty
years ago, when Lord Elgin was pelted with
rotten eggs in the streets of Montreal, after
giving his assent to the rebellion losses bill.

Jack Cade Vind.cates Hts Honor

OS+S~S SssDsSeSSSS AA~SsVss
To the Editor of the Globe.
ST.. PAUL, April 6.-Your correspondent
"Dick,'' either from want of brain to con-
slider subject in more than one light, or
some other reason, indulges himself in your
issue of yesterday IN raillery at my expense,
for suggesting the substitution of "Jack
Cade'' for "Richard ILL., at Mr.. McCul-
lough's closing performance Saturday eve
ming. For s'Dick' 50 benefit, will say that
the "Jack Cade'' lunatic was present Satur-
day evening, and saw Mr.. McCullough's
ssRichard I'LL" Further, the lunatic will say
that as the presentation of the character
it was all that could be desired.
Nay, more; it was grand
triumph for the great actor. But this
acknowledged, and in its broadcast and most
complimentary sense, and the force of my
suggestions are in no wise weakened.
When the substitution was suggested there
was no thought that Mr.. Mccullough was
not competent to give his auditors most
| vivid and realistic impersonation of the
hunchback tyrant, with all its hideousness,
but the objection was to the character itself
| the most heartless and revolving of
| all Shakespeare g great productions. Unlike
any other of that great authors produc-
tions, there is not in Richard III one reliev-
ing feature but to add, if possible, to the
picture presented by Richard himself of q
fend fshed out of the 1owermost recesses of
hell and placed in human body
for brief pilgrimage on earth, woman Is
made so weak, so vascillating, SO despicable,
as to be wooed and won. while loudly pro-
testing her grief, by the known murderer oi
her husband before his body had been con
L cir no1 fo fho of1 how pfh
Cade,' while an equally robust character, and
having enough of total depravity to give tn;
spice SO essential in iavoring production t.
the taste of "Dick'' and others of his ilk
has in it some of that other element tn
presentation of which, in the hands of mas
ters like Mccullough, gives to the virtues o
the true man and woman an added charm
the remembrance of which long remains a
an incentive to the practice of the lessor
taught. It was for this that the "lunatic
suggested the substitution. JACK CADE.

THE VANDERBILTS

William III. Compromises With the Con-
testants for Two Million Dollars Cor
nelius Improves His Good Fortune by
Paying Hi, Debt of Honor to the Daugh-
ters of Horace Greeley.
Especial Telegram to the Globe
New YORK, April 6.-Wm. 81. Vanderbilt
has fully acceded to the demands Of Mrs.
Berger and Cornelius j. Vanderbilt,
and he hopes to stop all further
public ventilation of the family af-
fairs by compromise, which, it is said, en-
riches Mrs. Berger and Cornelius J. Wander
bilt in the sum of $2,OOO,OOO. Monday
meet for final arrangement of some minor
features of the compromise, and then it is
expected that the future relations of the
Vanderbilt family in all it's branches will be
amicable.
On Friday afternoon one of the private
parlors of the Hoffman house was engaged
by Cornelius j. Vanderbilt, and soon after a
small party of ladies and gentlemen arrived.
There were in the company Mrs. Nicholas
Smith, nee Greeley, Miss Gabrielle Greeley,
the daughter of Horace Greeley, and several
others. Cornelius j. gave to each of the
Greeley sisters chech for $2S,5OO, the
whole aggregating $4,000. This is the
debt which he owed Horace Greeley, with
interest at six per cent. Among the assets
of Mr.. Greeley were notes to the amount OF
$4,000 given by Cornelius j. for money
borrowed, and the debt and interest amount
ed to the sum given to the sisters yesterday
This money is quite god send to these
estimable young ladies' whose father left
them very little, except some shares of Tri-
bune stock, which have not paid dividend
for some years, and these notes of Wander
bilt's which have long been regarded as per-
fectly worthless. Cornelius J. was left by his
father only the interest on 100000 in Uni
ted States bonds, which yield him an income
of $4,000 per year. Is was especially pro-
vided that none of his debts should be paid
The compromise has enabled Cornelius tc
discharge the obligations which he was bound
in honor to meet, and within the past two
days he has told his friends that he intends
to wipe out his entire debt account, which il
is understood amounts to over 100000.
