Whose forms we might not see;
There were spirit voices chanting
In sweetest melody.
There was Morning light upbreaking
Into Everlasting Day,
When the watchers and our dear one
Went up the heavenly way.

The Vancouver Fire.

VICTORIA, 3. c., June l5.-Last nights
reports of the fire at Vancouver were i'll
no way exaggerated. Not half dozen
houses remain out of 500, and worse of
all, there is large loss of life. Ten
bodies have thus far been recovered, and
a number of persons are missing and are
supposed to have persisted. One short
hour did the whole work. The property
saved is insignificant. A "clean sweep"
defines the situation. A thousand men
are at work cleaning up debris for the
railroad company. Twenty contracts for
rebuilding have been already let. Manv
men lost their all, but are determined to
start in again. All day Sunday there had
been q steady wind from the northwest,
and the bush clearing fires OIL the Can
adam Pacific railway lots were famed to
such all extent as to fill Vancouver with
smoke. Shortly after l p. III. several
persons began to consider the situation
threatening, but the smoke was so dense
that they found it impossible to direct
their steps to tho exact location of Its
source. Soon stable near the Colonial
hotel was seen to be on fire. The winds
by this time had increased to gale and
famed the flames to mass Of fire. One
of the first buildings to SO was Mac
Cartney's drug store, followed by the
Office of tine Vancouver News. Tie flames
shot across Abbott street with astonisll-
ing rapidity. and almost before people
could realize it the whole of the western
portion of the city was in blaze.

The repeal of the presumption and
timber culture laws is the most radi.
cal piece of legislation affecting the
public domain that has been made
since the settlement of the northwest
began. Coming at this stage in The
development of this country, we are
not inclined to look upon it rs such Il
disastrous measure as many claim it
to he. While the inducements for
immigration afforded by the pre.emp.
tion and timber culture laws served as
a great attraction, too great facili.
ties were afforded thereby for acquir-
ing large tracts through a fictitious
residence with Improvements that
amounted to nothing. In less time
than year one settler could acquire
a right to $50 acres Of land. speculate
on it and return to his business OF pro.
fession which he had never virtually
abandoned, having done practically
nothing by way of improving the
country. The country has not been
settling up rs fast us the land office
statistics might seem to show. Not
more than one actual settler to every
three OF four entries can be counted
OH. The lands acquired by speculative
entries afterwards pass into the pos.
session of bona fide farmers. who are
able to purchase, or lie rs waste prairie.
Now, under the homestead law the
progress Of actual settlement will go
forward more slowly, it is true, but
more surely, and by actual farmers
who expect to make living out CT
| the soil.

The dry weather has considerable

The dry weather has considerably,
affected the crops in many parts Of
North Dakota. The early sown grain,
for the most part, seems to be doing
well, but that sown later, especially on
spring blowing will nowhere be full
crop and in many instances prove
almost failure. The vicinity of
Devils Lake is reported as suffering a
good deal from the drought. Local
rains at different points, however
have improved the situation. From
various points in Pembina county re.
ports are somewhat diverse. In gen.
eral, the southern part Of the county
has Jared better for rain. The late
frost does not seem to have done much
harm. some even claiming that it has
helped the grain by destroying some of
the weeds. The estimates we have
received OIL the present prospects are
from 10 to 25 per cent below full
crop.

DISCUSSION IN THE SENATE THIS AFTERNOON.
In the Senate this afternoon after the report
Of proceedings in the first edition closed, the
clause in the sundry civil bill for the construc-
ton OF the terrace and grand stairway Of the
Capitol was then taken up, and Mr.. Hale offered
the following proviso:
Provided that the work under this appropria-
ton shall be done SO as to provide committee
rooms on the west front terrace, with proper
ventilation and light from windows In the
outer western wall.
He argued in support OF his amendment. He
spoke OF the former beauty OF the building and
OF the restless efforts OF innovators to make
changes Senator Morrill, chairman of the
committee on public buildings and grOunds)
among others, had been brought round to the
views of those innOvatorS.
Mr.. Morrill,, to his talents as q dnancier and
legislator, supposed that he also possessed ar
tistic talent and through the aid OF an archi-
tect from New York tMr. Olmstead) adopted q
plan for building terraces of marble, instead OF
terraces vi natural earth. But appropriations
could not be got for such work, except in par
GELS and always with the understanding that
the committee rooms should be provided in
consonance with the plan.
The amendment TO stop work upon the Cap
itol terrace until plan is devised providing
for windows in the west front was ruled out on
point of order.
AS the mat ter now stands the bill simply APP
propriates $15O,OOO for continuing the work
on the terraces.

THE LAST WEEK OF CONGRESS.
The Probas Die Program OF Business.

Monday week Is the day pretty generally
settled upon as the day when Congress will adj
Journ. But ths matter lies with the Senate.
The naval establishment bill II expected to be
passed to-day. If the sundry civil comes over
from the Senate to-day, as is expected, It will
be printed and the committee will meet on
Sunday to consider the amendments. Then
on Monday tho matter will be brought up in
the House and , conference asked tor. Tonight
the public lands committee will attem pit to pass
several forfeiture bills to which there is no op-
position, as any others would be stopped by the
point OF no quorum. During the week the
House will be occupied with the conference re-
ports on the appropriation bills, whenever any
are ready to be acted upon. The interstate
commerce and land grant forfeiture bill are ex-
pected to take Up the balance of the time.
There seems to be no prospect Of the District
getting anotherday in the House.
