A GRAND OLD SPIDER.
Parnell Makes q Venomous At
tack Upon Gladstone.
EMPRESS FREDERICK FoRo,vEs.


DUBLIN, March Replying TO . deputa-
ton ct Drogheda today, Parnell said he
rejoiced at the proof of the support every.
where accorded him. On arriving at Navau,
Parnell addressed meeting in the square.
He said that perhaps some day In the
distant future somebody would arise,
privileged to address them-not as men
sof royal Meath, but as men Of
Republican Meath. 1t was Meath which
first gave him the opportunity, sixteen
years ago, to serve Ireland in public life.
They had won 100 skirmishes together,
and now he wanted to be allowed to win
the battle with them. Already they had
put snaffie in the mouth Of the landlords
by and by, with q parliament in College
Green, they would tit these same mouths
with bit and birdoon. lCheers and
laughterI.
In conclusion, Parnell expressed the
hope that his opponents would take warn
ms of portents. A popular storm was
likely to sweep them away. Instead Of OPP
posing rally to his side, let them free
themselves from entanglements and En-
glish party alliances woven around them
by the ''Grand Old Spider
DUBLIN, March 1.-The McCarthyite fac
ton of the Irish party held quiet meet
ing at Rathkeale, County Limerick, today.
There were no priests at either the Nc
Carthyite or Parnellite meeting. This was
due to the fact that Bishop O'Dwyer had
advised priests to abstain altogether from
attending political meetings.

FAIRHAvEN RAILROAD NEWS.

Great Northern Now Operating the Line
From Sedro to Blaine-FFaser Bridge.
FAIRHAvEN, March 1.-[Special. THE
statement in today's PosT-ISrELLIGENcER
that the transfer of the Fairhaven
& Southern to the Great Northern
has not taken place is technically
true, although the Great Northern
has taken control of the opera
ton of the road from Sedro to Blaine.
The transfer Of the road has virtually been
made. but the transfer of stock and cleo
ton of new officers will be deferred until
all the terms Of the contract of purchase
are complied with, and these involve
further work on the New Westminster
Southern, which will require about two
weeks after the frost is out of the ground
The company is now considering
whether to bridge the Fraser river between
Liverpool and New Westminster, or trans
fer by ferry as the Northern Pacific does
on the Columbia river at Kalama.
The location of the branch from here to
Lake Whatcom is four and one-half miles
and mile and half is graded. The
grade is low, nowhere exceeding I per
cent. Engineers state that any road be-
tween the bay and lake must diverge from
Fairhaven to avoid mountain grade of 2
per cent.

Interference In Canadian Politics May
Hurt the Great Railroad.
TORONTO, March speaking at . mass
meeting of Liberals in East York last
night, Sir Richard Cartwright said the
government appeared to have adopted the
policy of letter-stealing, and then made the
following charge:
The other day noticed letter which our
secretary had addressed to gentleman in Has
tings, but which had apparently never reached
that gentleman. The address was plain, but
the letter had gone to tho dead-l ofice, had
been opened there, and sent not to the secre-
tary, as think the Law requires, but to the gov
eminent candidate for West Hastings, who
forthwith published it.
Referring to Van Horne's manifesto. he
alluded to Van Horne as dictator-in-chief
to her majesty's government in Canada.
He condemned the manifesto as a mis-
take and added:
Van Horne ought to be extremely careful not
by fll-advised and foolish language to pro-
woke retaliation and animosity ON the part of
the people of the United States; II is known
to every person well informed that there exists
Van Horne himself admits it, against our great
railway systems, and notably against the
Canadian Pacific. 1t is at this moment that
Van Horne chooses to follow the lead Of the
premier, who went ont of his way to insult the
American people. 1t 10 a thing which ought to
have brought down upon him the ceusure Of his
directors, II he has any directors, and 10 not an
autocrat OF the railway, a. he seems to be an
autocrat OF the government OF Canada

eminent inspectors HARRISON and Davis
would disclose the nature of their inquiry
into the Office of Surveyor-General Cava-
naugh they would satisfy good deal of
public curiosity. The investigation is in
charge of Inspector HARRISON, and Davis
seems to be acting under his direction and

been here since February 8, and have con-
sistently refused to give the slightest init
nation as to the extent or nature of their
mission, or as to whether or not they are
proceeding under special or general IN
structions. Inspector HARRISON has &C
quired reputation throughout the West
of being very exacting. arbitrary and I'M

incurred the hostility of government
officers in many places. He had several
disagreements with Surveyor-General Cav

Many kilograms have been exchanged
between the inspector and the department,
and the president himself is reported to
have interested himself personally in the

general that the investigation would be
conducted strictly within the lines of

Don't tell your husband your every

IS not secretiveness, but common sense and
delicacy; as much so as the feeling that

scientists tell US that all palpable objects,
even granite. are composed of innumer-
able infinitesimal atoms, which, how
ever close they may seem to be, never

OF the heart of man and a woman.
They can never quite touch, Tor the most
devoted husband and wife can never see
anything from exactly the same point of

consequences of differing sex; but they may
come 80 near that nothing can come be-
