at once the terror and admiration of

abundance of floral tributes on the stage
filled the air with perfume. Some OF

The Canadian Voyageurs.

queenstown, February 1S.-The
Canadian yOyageurs speak dis
psragingly OF the boats used by Lord
WOlseley expedition in the journey up
the Nile and declare them decidedly too
trail forsuch service. In pulling them
over the cataracts it frequently
happened that their stems would be
torn out, and during the ascent of the
river, thirty boats were damaged so as
to be no longer fit for use. Ten of the
yyoyageurs' party were drowned in the
Nile, two died from fever and two were
Killed midway in Egypt. The Canadians
complain of the severe heat of the

zeal with sore eyes and blisters. They

CALIFORNIA CHAT.
EditOF Pickering Talks of the Coast.

CHICAGO, February 1S.-The Chicago
Tribune has the following: A cheerful
view of affairs politically and in bust
ness way on the Pacific Slope, was taken
by Loring Pickering, editor Of the San
Francisco Bulletin, who was at the Pal
mer yesterday. 81 do not think the
election of Leland Stanford to the
Senate said he, will commit Cali
fornia Republicans to the railroad cause.
The bitter feeling against the Pacific
road has of late been dying out, as other
roads have been built, the general idea
being that none were making too much
money. That Stanford will devote his
immense fortune to public ends, is the
prevailing impression, which seems to
be well grounded. He has man now
looking over various plans. Among
them are plans for school for mechani-
cal training OF workmen, which will be
at Menlo Park. and great museum
in San Francisco. The latter was the
the project of the dead son,
and his ideas will be faith
faithfully carried out. Mrs. Stanford
has been on the graves brink for sew
eral years, and am convinced that it
is the idea OF both her and her husband
to give the remainder of their lives, to-
gether with their fortune, to the general
good of the State Speaking of business
on the Pacific Slope, Mr.. Pickering said
the entire labor was employed, and all
in all, it was much better than was an
ticipated. With the low price of wheat
last fall, farmers had turned to produc-
ing other crops which had paid we'll
and general industries were looking up.
Nevada was for the time falling back, but
as soon as labor went down to 81 per
day, instead of 81, mines could be
worked more extensively than at any
time hitherto. and the State would
make shoot upwards. 1t was hoped
that Cleveland's Secretary of the Treas
ury would rule differently on the admis-
sion of Chinese than had Secretary Nc
Culloch, and this would remove the last
good ground for complaint against the
restrictions not being sufficiently oper-
ative. 6i

doors to-day. They assigned to c. C..
Knox and Frank Otis. The liabilities
are $4,000; assets the same amount,
but not readily convertible. The
assignee refuses to make any specific
statement regarding the rumor that a
defalcation by a confidential clerk was
the Immediate cause Of the suspension.
Enos Taylor, who was the clerk
referred to, and who is a member of the
grain exchange, denies the allegation.
he admits being heavy borrower from
the firm and claims that the loans were
obtained in the regular business way.
Acknowledges that he has been a large
shipper OF barley, in which he had lost
heavily. The losses prevented him re-
paving the borrowed money. The firm
has been in business in this city thirty
three years, and was considered very
solid. A meeting of creditors is to be
