AT luncn Uenuered 10 the prlnclpal
members of the Provincial Government of
British Columbia on board the, American
steamer North Pacific at Victoria, on the
10Th, by Willard, President of the lately
completed Northern Pacific Railway, and
party of newspaper men, Prime Minister
Smith, Of that country, in responding to
the toast "The Queen" said that an
umbia to the United States is inn
possible, but that time would reverse the
order and certainly cause the annexationof of
part Of the Pacific coast section of the
United States to British Columbia; that
the United States cannot continue undi-
vided. Its elements of population, the too
varied interests of its different sections
are so diverse that the day will come when
comes British Columbia will be glad to
take into her arms that fragment of 1t with
her natural neighbor.
The French fishing schooner Merc
curry, which arrived at st. Pierre. N. F.,
on the 18th from Grand Banks, picked up
on the 18th two New FoundIand fishermen,
Walsh and Matthews, in a dory, who had
been six days adrift without food or water.
They became delirious and Walsh opened
his veins and sucked his blood to quench
his terrible thirst. The men were so help
less that they had to be hoisted aboard the
vessel with rope. The Mercury also
brought Captain Hiscock and three of the
in the Medianna.

land, obtaining q height of 1000 feet
above the sea. This is the first
time human beings have penetrated so
far into Greenland. The whole region
no open water inland. Very valuable scien-
tific data was obtained. On the coast be-
tween Waigattel and Cape York they were
informed by Esquimaux that two members
and the rest returned to Littleton Island.

visited by the Esquimaux, where remains
of the Norman period were found. This
