If you express sentiment of approbation for any. twing the owner at once says ssSenor, it is yours, ,'but he simply intends to say some. thing f1attering, and you are therefore not expected to accept anything that is offered you. An amusing story is told of Sit Spencer St. John, the English ambassador, which illustrates how this national courtesy often provokes embarrassment. Sir Spen- Ger, who is gallant old bachelor, was promenading with some ladies in the park when he met nurse girl with bright eyed baby. The ladies stopped to anmire the little one, and Sir Spencer asked: whose child 1t was. ''Senor, it is your own" re. piled the nnrse, with a courtesy. Sir Spencer has never inquired as to the pa rentage of pretty children since.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The English Court has informed the
Crown Prince of Austria that a social
visit from him and his wife would not be
agreeable just now. England has enough
attractions of its own at present.
1t is asserted on very good authority
that the real ground of Lord and Lady
Cairns objection to their sons marriage
was that they felt absolutely sure that
Miss Fortescue did not really care for
him.
Bismarck lately invited some infuen-
tiaI Lubeckers to a conference and sub
sequent dinner. They were received by
the Princess, but after an hour had elapsed
she excused herself, and went for the
Prince. He was fast asleep at his writing
desk.
Jay Gould says that he could lose $780,
600, 900 and still would have more than he
or his family could need. This is proba-
bly, true. He stole Sl5, 900, 900 in one line
of Western Union a few years ago, and all
his fortune is virtually represented by sue
cessful plumber He has systematically
debauched the bench to back his fraudu-

HAWAIIAN INTEREST IN CANADIAN
AFFAIRS.

The Chinese question in British
Columbia is destined to make trouble
for the Dominion. The Six Chinese
Companies of San Francisco have
made Victoria, B. c., a labor depot
from which labor contrabands are
struggled into United States terri
tory. The Provincial Legislature
last year passed a bill regulating
Chinese immigration, modelled upon
the New South Wales act which re-
ceived the Royal assent. It pur-
ported to go into immediate effect.
But the Supreme Court ruled it ultra
wires, the British North American
Act of 1887, under which the Do
minion was organized, requiring that
all provincial laws of a certain class
shall be passed upon by the Dominion
Government before becoming opera
tive, precisely as similar laws by the
Canadian Parliament are vised by
Her Majesty's Government.
The agitation against the Chinese
continued in British Columbia, and
the Macdonald Government sent out
q commission to inquire into the mat
ter. They visited the province, con-
suited the employers of Chinese labor
there and in San Francisco, and re-
ported in favor of continued Chin csc
immigration. The reply to this re-
port on the part of the province
was the enactment of law by the
Provincial Legislature prohibiting,
under heavy penalties of fine and inn
prisOnment, the landing of Chinese
at any of the ports of British Column
bia. The province being in dead
earnest, there will probably be a con-
fict between the two Governments.
But the Dominion is hardly in con-
dition to coerce British Columbia
when Nova Scotia wants to secede,
and Manitoba is almost at swords
point with the Ottawa Government
on the questions of transportation
and land sales.
