NOT AFRAID OFT.
The Canadian Pacific and the OPP
position from American Lines.

MONTREAL. May 31.-The management of
the Canadian Pacific railroad has had its at
tention drawn to certain reports emanating
from this side of the border, that a combina-
tion of United States railroads is likely to
be formed against Canadian roads. in con-
sequence of Senator Cullom's resolution
relating to the inroads made by Canadian
railroads on American railroad business
The Canadian Pacific road is not frightened.
A prominent officer" of that company is
quoted as follows: "The Canadian Pacific
people have no fear of a combination of
American roads against them, as their road is
associated with all the roads of the United
States is transcontinental trade through the
TIanscontinental Association. All the rail
ways in the association, recognizing the fact
that the Canadian Pacific was not on foot
ing to compete with them on even terms for
American transcontinental freight, as it had
no rail connections with Pacific ports in the
United States. allowed the company differ
ential transcOntinental rate, handicap, as
it were, in favor of the Canadian roads.
Several of the American roads have been
disappointed that the Canadian Pacific,
which was, in spite of the differential
freight, considered out of the field altogether,
has procured so much of this business, but
they cannot object, as the Canadian road
has stuck fairly to its agreement, in spite of
all its difficulties, and has done business in
accordance Herewith, without any rate cut
ting"

IT IS Insufficient and DISHONEST.
Mr.. ParneIl So Describes the New
Land Purchase Bill.
Lives Lost When a Hurricane Shat
tered Houses In Sofia.
France Not Disposed To Yield Her
Rights In Newfoundland.

NEW YORK, May 31.-The North Ameri-
can Review for June has an article by Mr..
Parnell, stating the Irish party's grounds of
objection to Mr.. Balfour's Irish land pur-
chase bill. This measure Mr. Parnell char
acterizes as .."Insufficient and dishonest"
though ostensibly brought forward for the
purpose of settling the land question on the
lines laid down by him when in America.
The measure is insufficient because 1t would
not reach more than one out Of every four
Of the Irish tenants, and there would be
many in the favored minority who have no
right or claim to enjoy the benefits of land
purchase at the expense of the state On
the basis Of the operation of previous enact
ments 1t would take upward of Gl66, 600, 900
sterling to enable all the Irish tenants enti-
tied to do so to become owners of their
buildings. The state would never advance
the vast sum necessary for the purpose, as
every one comedies that e33, ,000, 900 is the ut
most further sum that the English taxpayers
can be induced to guarantee. The Irish par
ty hold, therefore, that the land act of 1881
should first be go amended as to secure the
tenants improvements from the inflictiOn of
rent. The bill as 1t now stands, entities the
landlord to ask the tenant to pay him 20
years purchase on the improvements made
by himself, as we'll as for the landlords
pTOpcIIy. Dy ITe6lIlB Tue tenant 5 Improve
ments from the inflction of rent first, the
size of the question and the amount Of mon
ey involved would be rendered much more
manageable. A further step in this direc-
tion would be to refuse the benefit of the
measure to nonresident tenants holding
large tracts for grazing purposes, employing
no labor and making no outlay on their
holdings. Three-f0urths of Connaught, one
third OF Munster and one-fourth Of Leinster
are so held. 1t was not for the advantage.of
graZiers and gOmbeen men that the flag of
the land for the people was unfurled at
Trishtown in 1879.
The consideration. Mr.. Parnell says, which
has influenced him as largely as anything
else in opposing Mr.. Balfoul's measure is the
existence of coercion in Ireland, which rem
ders it impossible for the tenants to contract
freely with their landlords in arranging
terms of sales.
A further objection is that the method
adopted by the bill for dealing with the con-
gested districts in Ireland secures a further
waste of the resources available, for it is
proposed to devote the public money indif-
ferenty to the purchase of grass lands and
congested holdings.
In conclusion. Mr.. Parnell says that he
would gladly welcome "any honest intention
on the part of the government to solve this
land question" II the land question is un-
settled on Mr.. Gadstone's return to Office,
the larger settlement of home rule will be
materially hampered.

Brunswick, the P. II. S. team handsomely
defeated the Topshams. Our High School

and in defeating the Topsham club it clearly
shows that they are the best base ball team
The game abounded in many brilliant plays,

of Whitten, Guyot, Chase and Hinkley.
The team batted well, and the improvement
made in this direction has been very marked.
The Topsbam team is fine one, composed
