Inc land where peaceful Plenty smiles,
The Garden of the West.

Rich rugged land of hill and dale,

That hid thee from the world.

Thy children labor on:
Right glorious viii the day fulfil
The promise of the dawn.
May willing hands in every need.

And Gci protect from foreign greed.
Our Kingdom by the sea.
We love thee well. thou garden fair,
Amidst the oceans foam
Be this thy childreu's constant prayer,
God bless our island home,

immense Damage Being Done by For
 sst Fires in Northern Minnesota and
 Wisconsin.
 ST. PAUL, Minn., May 6.-Special dis patches report destructive fires raging in Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. Already immense damage has been done to standing timber and many towns are threatened with destruction.
 A special from Duluth says a dense cloud of smoke from burning brush and timber hangs over the city. Fires of a dangerous character ere raging in nearly all directions from the city, within a radius of fifty miles or more. In some instances the houses of settlers have been burned. The fires seem to be the worst on the line of the Duluth & Iron Range, west of Thomson, and south of Barnum and on the Northern Pacific as far as Norman, as far as twenty miles beyond Pacific Junction. There are reports of damage from the settlements back of this city on country roads, from the Ashland division of the Northern Pacific and else where.

SENSITIVE ROYALTY.
Why the British Ambassador wal Dl- rectpd to Withdraw From the French Capital During the Festivities of the Exposition Opening.

Why the British Ambassador wal D'-
 rectrd to Withdraw From the French
 Capital During the Festivities of the
 Exposition Opening.
 LONDON, May Tt transpires that Lord Lytton, the British Ambassador to France, was really desirous of remaining position, and plainly intimated his wish to the Foreign Office The Queen, how ever, commanded that his Lordship shoul withdraw from the French capital, at the same time informing Lord Sails bury that it would never do for the miu- ister of royal house to participate in, or even countenance, a ceremony designed to commemorate the overthrow of royal ty. The Tory press adopta similar view in ing of the Exposition. They pro- fess to forgive the revolutionists for their rebelous acts, but do not condone their excesses, nor do they admit the benefits of the republican form of government which is the ultimate re- suit of that struggle. On the whole, the Conservative press can see no reason for the Exposition. neither can they bring themselves to tue belief that it will be otherwise than miserable failure.
 It is asserted that MT. Alexander, the noted philanthropist and collector of paintings, is the donor of the building for the new portrait gallery to which Lord Salisbury referred in his speech at ths Royal Academy dinner. The cost of the gallery when completed will be Sl00,000.

CANADIAN DEVELOPMENT.

Erastus Wiman Tells the Canadians' In an
 Address at Ottawa. What Will Best
 Tend to Promote the Development of
 the Dominion,
 OTTAWA, Ont, May 5.-Mr. Erastus Wiman arrived here yesterday in rela- ton to litigation before the Supreme Court. He addressed a large meeting un- der the spices of the Board of Trade on the growth of Canada as compared with the United States. Mir. Wiman took the standing of the United States as indicated during the past week in the Centennial period, with areas and equal resources rather in favor of Canada and 0 settled ground given. As a colony, the progress of Canada has been far behind that of the United States, The reason was that the unrestricted intercourse be- tween the States had been the cause of their development and growth, and noth- ing would so much contribute to the con tinual growth of the United States and the progress of Canada as to obliterate the customs between them. The best asset that Canada could possibly have was the market for the national products which the United States would afford, and there was no asset within the control of the United States which would moro greatly augment her present wealth than the development, marketing and manu- featuring of the enormous stores of the raw material which Canada pos sessed. Mir. Wiman was interrupted in his speech by outbursts of applause. When he sat down the applause was deaf ening. Senator Scott proposed, and MT. E. H. Bronson, NJ. P, seconded, a vote of thanks to the lecturer.

He is now under arrest. The mill was only recently completed, at cost of about $500, 900.

Jacob Blessing Found Life Any Thing
 But a Blessing and Departed Via the
 Great Niagara Falls Route.
 NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., May Blast night about eight o'clock, as J. l.. Ryan and wife, of Holley, N. Y., were standing on the sidewalk near the American end of the Goat Island bridge, they saw man leap from the upper side of the bridge into the river. The lady screamed and attracted the attention of Samuel Smith, of the reservation police, who had stepped to the bridge railing and saw distinctly a man floating i'll the current below. He was out of reach and soon was swept over the brink near Prospect Point. The policeman found on the bridge, near the spot where the man was seen to jump, derby hat containing the label of Stafford 6J Faul, 2Il Main street, Buffalo, N. Y., a leather pocket-book containing q keyring and Music Hall ticket 2,265, bearing the name of Jaccb Blessing, No. 742 Seneca street, Buffalo.
 Jacob Blessing was German black smith who had been in this country about five years and had no relatives i'll Buffalo nor, it is believed, in this country. He fell in love with girl who tilted him about a year ago, and since then his friends say he has been subject to fits of melancholy and periodic sprees.
