A RAFT GRowINa.- a few
months ago it was generally sup
posed on Puget Sound that cotton
wood log would sink and not float in
the water, and it was not until the
barrel factory in this city had been
running some time that the error Of
this idea was established. Now
whole RATS of cotton wood can be
seen a. any time floating gentle on
our bay. One raft at present in our
harbor Las been ca; 81 long that It
has begun growing again, and pre-
sents The strange spectacle of what
appears to be cottonwood nursery,
a hundred young trees several feet
high pushing their heads from the
logs up toward the sky, and waving
gently with the movement Of the
water in the bay. This is sight
worth seeing. The cottonwood is
proving valuable timber, though
only very few years ago it was
considered an incumbrance TO the
ground and absolutely worthless.
Farmers made it tier rule to cut
down the trees, leav;"; the logs to
rot in the field. Now there is a call
for every stick of it.-Intelligencer.

COLONIAL NEWS.

The Barbados Globe says that the
question Of Consignees' Claims is at
tracing attention. The meaning of
these claims is simply this The
English merchant advances on
the sugar shipped to him. If the
estate falls into debt the merchant
claims to be paid before all others,
even, before mortgages, on the ground
that what he has advanced was abso-
lutely necessary to the existence of
the property as a sugar estate. Mort
gagees are of course very uneasy
about these claims, and have formed
a local Association for resisting them
in the Court Of Chancery in England.
This Court as is well known, takes
cognizance of matters of equity, and
hence deals with many cases that
: could not be decided in a COMMON
Law Court. The Liquidator of a late
London firm (Simeon Hardy & Sons)
has filed such a claim in the Court
of Chancery against three estates in
Barbados; and although it is expect
ed that these estates will meet all
claims in full, it is still intended to
oppose the priority of the Consignees'
claim, from fear that if allowed to
pass unnoticed it may become a pre-
pcedent to be applied in other cases.
There was a grand regatta in Car
Isle Bay on the 21st ult: The stores
were closed at midday, and the
Governor and his party viewed the
sport from the deck of an East India
ship, the Jamma, lying in the Bay.

enced in obtaining the service Of the
laborers when required; they often
pretended sickness and when semitic
the Doctor theygot medicine, and kept
away from work several days and
weeks; and, on inquiry being made,
some of these would be found in the
city, working with badges as "sporters
and iobbers." The Ranger of the
estate supported the evidence of the
manager. The Magistrate found the
charges proven, and after explaining
to the defendants the nature of their
duty as contract laborers, he fined
them los. each, or to be imprisoned

The Government had spent for.
general purposes about $1,000 of the
Immigration fund, which was raised
some years ago by a tax on sugar.
The planters now require the money
to introduce 500 Chinese, and the
Government have raised it by
Debentures. The result described
below does not seem to shew any
general poverty in Antigua:
"On the date of our last issue (says
the Register) tenders were invited by
the local government for $4,000, so
couponed, 6per cent. interest bearing
Debentures, redeemable at 30 end
of Is years by the operation of
Sinking Fund. Since then we have
heard that the invitation has been
eagerly responded to, and offers sent
for about double the amount required,
showing that the islands credit stands
very high in the estimation of those
who have money to invest in its
securities, even though its repayment
will be deferred for rs years"
The Register thinks the money
might have been borrowed from The
Savings Bank Fund, which, it qp-
pears, amounts to $4,000, lodged III
the Colonial Bank; or, simpler still,
might have been taken out of the
cash in hand, which amounted on the
31st March to nearly $4,000. Per-
haps the Government does not wish
to disturb this nice little cash balance.
The Rev. E. Elliott, rector of st.
Johns had resigned, and a meeting
of friends of the Anglican church
had been held to consider how the
necessary funds for paying another
rector could be raised. The Secreta-
ry of State had refused to prolong
Nj. Elliotts leave, and hence the en-
dowment falls.
The Antigua people will not read.
notwithstanding that the Trustees
of the Public Library have done their
utmost to stimulate the reading pow
ers of the community, by keeping
the Reading Room open until 9 pm.
every lawful evening since the 1st. of
January last, the average attendance
has only been about two per night
Many nights not a reader puts in an

Opinion.
"From Martinique comes the news
of an interesting antiquarian discove-
ry, in the shape Of the anchor of the
ship in which Columbus sailed on his
third voyage to the new world. It is
well known that in 1893 his little
fleet came to the anchor at the;south-
west extremity Of the island of Trini-
dad, called Arenas Point, and that
during IKE night the ships encounter
ed great danger from a tidal wave,
caused by the sudden swelling of one
of the rivers that empties itself in the
Gulf of Paria. The only damage
suffered, however, was the loss of the
Admirars anchor. This has recently
been found by Senior Agostino, while
excavating in his garden at Point
Arenas. The anchor weighs LOO
lbs, and was at first supposed to be
of Phenican origin, but careful in
spection revealed the date 1897 on
the stock. The geological conditions
of the ground in which the discovery
was made bear out the conclusion
that the anchor is a relic of Colum-
BUS
The antigua Weekly Register makes
the following remarks on the affairs of
the West India and Pacific Telegraph
Company.
"The European Mail states that the
W. I. & ?. T. Company seems looking
up, there was a great Improvement in
the receipts during the first half Of
March last. The Bermuda Telegraph
extension is considered the proper mea-
sure to advocate in order to ecure the
assistance ofthe Imperial Government,
which it is said will not be likely to
concern itself with telegraph matters
unless as a part Of the question of
naval administration and colonial
defence; but with a Liberal govern
ment it is expected the colonies will
be left to defend themselves"
A foot Of lumber is a square which
measures one foot in the side and is
one inch thick, consequently it takes
twelve of these to make a cubic foot.
The difference is important in the
following case which has just occur
red in Antigua.
eve reported last week, says
the Register, that the contents of
a derelict hull, picked up near this
island, were sold at auction. The
hull was found to contain about
$4,000 superficial feet of cedar and
mahogany, which was sold for $40
p 1000 feet. Since then we have
learned that the purchaser Of the wood
at auction refused to take delivery
on the ground that he meant his bid
to.apply to cubic feet, not superficial
or board measurement, and there the
matter rests. The sale was by order
of the Vice Admiralty Court"
The weather had been quite wet,
about SO lines of rain having fallen

"Lately the weatherha been alittle too
