by nature a pretty cascade With
wildly picturesque, natural scenery

WILL BENEFIT US.
An Outlet to Another Market for
Northwestern Commodities.

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., Feb. 4.-Sir George
Baden Powell. member Of parliament
for Liverpool, England. passed through
to-day on his way to the Pacific coast.
His visit to Canada is in the interest of
a scheme to establish a through route
from Liverpool to China. 1t is proposed
to establish line of fast steam
ships Oh the Atlantic making regu-
lar weekly trips between Liverpool
and one of the Eastern Canadian ports
of Halifax. Quebec or Montreal, there to
connect with the Canadian Pacific. An
other line will make weekly trips be-
tween Vancouver and Yokohama and
Hong Kong. LIE Sir George is favorably
impressed with the scheme, he and his
associates will endeavor to secure sub
sides from the British and Canadian
governments. The British government
has already consented to give the
sum of e45,000 subsidy for line
providing the Canadian government
gives e15.000, but the idea now is to in
crease this amount to 100000 or perhaps
100000, providing that the Canadian
government make an equal increase in
its subsidy according to its PROPOSE
ton, and that the service be weekly
This route, Sir George maintains,
would be of great Importance to En-
gland if engaged in war with
any of the great European pow
erS, as Canada's coast defenses would,
of course, require attention. The
imperial parliament meets this month,
and on his return, Sir George intends
making use of the information he Oh
tainS here in furtherance of the scheme.
The subsidies the British government
will give depend On what Canada
agrees to do. Besides the advantages
to England and Canada in case of war
and its utility for through traffic, this
route will be of great benefit to the
Northwest, as furnishing an outlet to
another market for the produce
of this country. Already large ship
ments of -four have been made from
Vancouver to Japan. The British
nobleman is much pleased with what he
has seen OF the Canadian Pacific rail
road, and has great hopes for the sue
cess of the steamship scheme. He de-
MES altogether the report cabled from
London, before his departure. that he
was to act as plenipotentiary to Wash
ington in the fishery question. In 1885,
however, he inquired into the whole
matter and wrote several letters to the
Times on the subject. He intends
visiting Washington Oh private bust
ness.

THAT JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
OffeBds Whiteman and Warns Up
the House.

"That judiciary committee seems to
be composed of DIRECTORS to every
thing
Senator Whiteman calculated the
above on leaving the senate judiciary
committee. He seemed displeased, but
gave no opportunity for explanations,
but Selling his hat he made a precipi-
tate exit from the building. When the
judiciary committee had completed
their labors they reported these two
bills were to be indefinitely postponed:
by Senator Whiteman, Senate File
No. 133-Proyide for a revision of the
General Statutes of the state. By Sen
ator Whiteman. Senate File No. 134-
Amending section 81, chapter &C of the
General Statutes of 1875" Here lay the
cause of Senator Whiteman's little fling
at the Judiciary committee; they were
certainly collectors to everything"
and particularly these two bills.
Besides earning for themselves the
title of DIRECTORS, members of THE COM
mittee have proved themselves, in point
of constitutional law, more than equal
to the house judiciary committee. This
committee is largely composed Of law
yers, but the fact remains that in Dill
amending the penal code, and which
has passed through their hands, the
senate committee has struck out twelve
sections as being unconstitutional and
opposed to the general tenor of the
penal code.

TEACHERS CERTIFlCATEs.
kissing Babies Not Qualifications
for School Superintendents.

1.-THE work of crank"
Senator Bowen is not accustomed to
mince his words, for, when necessary,
he is the most outspoken member of the
senate. There was before the commit
tee ofnthe whole Senator Daniels bill,
S. F. No. 45, providing state teachers
certificates. A board of state eXamin-
ers to issue certificates is created by
the bill, and fee of 81 is to be paid by
each teacher examined and receiving
certificate. Senator Ives sought to
amend by including county school
superintendent: that no SUPER
intendent should be eligible for Office
unless he had secured a certificate as to
his efficiency to fill the post. kissing
babies and making a good Speech"
were, to Mr.. Ives, not sufficient accom-
plishment for county school superln-
tendent.
Senator Bowen = 1t is not in the
power of this body to pass a law i'm
posing any such test as this upon an
elective officer. A man who is quail
fed voter is entitled to be elected to any
Office in the gift of the people, and
when they have chosen that officer | do
not think it is in the power of this
body to bring forward test.
Senator Ives-Why not? Do you want
people to take charge of our schools
who are, intellectually, incapable?
Senator Durant-Whether the man is
educated or not, if he is not capable he
has no right to representthe people.
The amendment was defeated, and
Senator Edwards sought to strike out
that provision in the bill requiring 50
fee from the teachers. These young
people could i'll afford TO pay 81, and it
was not right to fix tax upon them in
that way. Senator Bowen was opposed
to the creation of central examining
board. He preferred to stand by the
examinations of three-fourths of the
county school superintendent than by
that crank-f0r he was nothing but a
crank-who sent out the examination
papers 10 the state high school, The
questions submitted were the work of
crank, professor at the state uuiyers-
ity. Senator BiXson was averse to

DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS.
A Contractors liability to 3
TeSted...A Plea Changed.

A Contractors liability to Be
Tested---A Plea Changed.
A case at once interesting and pecul-
lar, as determining the liability of
contractor for the carelessness of any
of his workmen, was begun before
Judge Rea yesterday morning. The
action was brought by Alexander Smith
against Joseph Floyd, to recover S., 900.
When Heinrich's new hotel, on First
avenue north, and First street, was
being built, Smith was employed in the
basement, while Floyd had the contract
for the brick work. One day one of the
men employed by Floyd let brick fall
from the top of tine building. 1t struck

somewhat. Now he brings suit against
Floyd, charging that he had hired in
competent Workmen. ~
Fl. Z. Burbank Il Co. have begun an
action against E. j. Aase, to recover
81, $50, the value of goods sold, together
with $500 damages. 1t is alleged in the
complaint that AaSe obtained the goods
by fraudulent representations, in stat
ing that his assets exceeded his liabili-
ties. and that the business in which he
was engaged was perfectly solvent.
Charles BUTLER, charged with selling
liquor without a license, was arraigned
in the district court yesterday morning,
and his trial begun. A number OF wit
neSSeS had been sworn. when Butler
created something of scene by ariS-
ing from his seat and pleading guilty.
For moment even the county attorney
was astonlshed. When he recovered he
asked that the court pass sentence.
Judge Lochren promptly fined BUTLER

county Jail for thirty days. If Buhfer
does not pay his fine he will remain Ill
