what it terms a systematic putting Of
Fraser river fish by the English trade
papers. The facts are that during the
past season English markets have
been supplied with salmon from the
Skeena and Mass and other rivers to
an unprecedented extent. Amongst
these, several brands show a marked
improvement on the usual Fraser
river quality; and, although they are
certainly inferior to the best brands

A Mine in the MaIakon Tower.


 formidable mine had been dug and load ed under the Malakof tower. If General MacMahon had not chanced to discover in the barrack one wire leading from 8 we'll concealed voltaic-pile to 8 large quantity of powder under 1t, and another connecting it with the powder magazine, the whole victori- ous force might have been blown into the air after having gained possession of the fort The wires were cut, but the powder magazine could not be found. Some of the French soldiers were setting fire to the emp ty gallons which had been thrust into the small windows of the bomb-proof cellar un- der the tower, in order to barricade it. One of the gabions appeared to be moving A French officer called out that if anyone was there who could speak French he might come out without fear. The gabion was pushed through the window, and 8 very young Rus sian officer crept out. He was assured that he and any others surrendering prisoners of war would be well treated. After saying a few words in Russian at the window he was joined by four officers and two hundred common soldiers. They begged, through him, to be taken away at once. This request suggested some knowledge of an impending explosion. The young officer was therefore ordered to point out the position of the pow der magazine. The lad made no answer. A French subaltern said in 8 loud voice to the commanding officer that the Russian ought to be shot if he refused to obey the order given to save so many lives. The youth kept silence, with naughty glance of indig. nation at the subaltern, apparently for sup posing that he would betray secret under 8 threat The French chief formed platoon to shoot him and he turned to face his exc cntioners. An old Russian major, who seemed to understand French, ran forward, took the commandant by the hand, drew him to heap of earth. and pointed downward. The earth was quickly shoveled away, and barrels containing 88,000 pounds of gunpow der were discovered. A strong French guard was placed over them. The young Russian officer was told to go with the other prison CTS. He gave military salute and kissed the old Russian majors hand Do not blame him for showing you the powder, " he said in French to the commandant, with trembling voice and tears in his eyes.
