New WESTMINSTER, B. c., March "a
Especial. i-Summonses signed by Peter
Higgins, of the Provincial legislature,
were served on the publishers of the
Columbian today by Deputy Sheriff Arm
strong, notifying them to appear before
the bar of the house on Tuesday next to
make answer for a scandalous libel said to
be contained in certain editorial pub
lished on the 18th inst. \ long editorial
on the subject is published in the Column
bian this evening, concluding as follows:
While repudiating the false construction
which has been purpose!y put upon our utter
ancss, we cannot rctrnct one iota of the de-
served condemnation which they were intended
to express. We have eudesvored TO define our
position and 10 relieve it of the misrepresenta-
tions and demonstrations that have been put
upon it. From that position we shall not
swerve. For the rest. we shall maintain the
dignity and rights of the press to the bitter end.
If the government wish TO undertake the re-
sponsibillty of attempting TO enforce the Siber
ian eloture upon the free and independent press
OF New Westminster city and the mainland, we
wish them luck of their venture.

Farer.lI Bapauet TO MInister Reid.

PARIS, March 2i.-The farewell banquet
given by the American colony to Mr.. Reid,
the returning United States minister, took
place this evening at the Hotel CONT
mental. The guests included most of the
prominent members of the American
colony and many famous Frenchmen,
among them several members of the cabi-
net. The music was furnished by the
band of the National Guard. Mr..
John Harjes, POSTMASTER, began the
speechmaking by proposing the
health of President Harrison. "Hail
Columbia" by the band, followed.
Then came the toast to "the President of
the French Republic" The toast was fol-
lowed by the playing of the Msrseillaise. In
proposing the health of the guest of the
evening Mr.. Harjes reviewed the great
work accomplished during Reds minis
stership, and continued. saying:
In wishing you, on the eve OF your departure,
an affectionate farewell, permit me to add tina:
In retul ming to your home we hope on your on
ward march OF usefulness your country may
trust you with new honors and further distinc-
tons
Mr.. Harjes then requested General King,
consul general, to read an address dedi-
Gated to the honored guest. The address
reviewed Mr.. Reds diplomatic career at
length, and eulogized his services in the
most felicitou. language. Reed responded
in feeling and grateful language for the
honor done him. He said he went abroad
with the idea Of taking vacation, but
now, after three years of hard work, he
was going back to New York to get
that vacation. Speaking of what had
been accomplished by him, he said
if there had been any success it was largely
due to the clear, positive and persistent
policy of the home administration. For
eign Minister Ribot responded to the
toast The Two Republics" and in the
course of his remarks, referring to the Nc
Kinley law, said if the United States
grants any concessions they will be met
here with equal concessions, even to the
point of free trade. Colonel Stuart Tay-
lor, of San Francisco; Senator Jules Simon
and NJ. Tirard also spoke.

PRIVATE o'GRADY's SHAMROCK.
The Patriotic Soldier Wouldn't Remove
1t to PIease q Briti.h Officer.

LoNp on. March 24.-In the commons to-
day Secretary Stanhope explained the
matter of the punishment of soldiers at
Aldershot for wearing the shamrock on
St. Patrick's day. 1t appeared that pri-
vate named O'Grady had a shamrock on.
1t did not occur to the officer that it was
St. Patrick's day, and he ordered O'Grady
TO remove the emblem. O'Gradv, in a
most insubordinate manner, replied: az
won't" TCheers from the Irish mem bers. !
He was sentenced to forty-eight hours
hard labor, not for wearing the shamrock,
said Mr. stanhope, but for his reply to the
officer. The house, the secretary added.
would agree with the government that the
punishment was justified. [Cries of mo"
from the Irish members,
Patrick c. O'Brien, Parnellite. will in
troduce a bill emitting Irish, English and
Scotch soldiers to wear the national en-
blems respectively on st. Patrick's, St.
Georges and st. Andrews day.
Nolan. Mccarthy and Sexton brought
up the shamrock incident again tonight.
Balfour said the last thing the government
wanted to do was TO wound the sentiments
of the Irish soldiers. The officer forgot
about St. Patrick's day. Mcneil regretted
that Stanhope had forced discussion, in
stead of admitting, as Balfour did. that
the officer had committed an indiscretion.
He hoped Stanhone would now say no
black mark should be recorded against
O'Grady. Stanhope thereupon promised
that the sentence should not be recorded.

manager Work still Hunting for Play
ers-Athletics Among the Amateurs.
TACOMA, March 22-[Special. l-An of
the members of the Tacoma league team
are expected here this week, with the ex-
ception of Cross, who will arrive next
week. Practice games will be in vogue,
and some idea of the strength of the team
will be had before the season opens.
The Tacoma club management seems to
be having rather lively time with March.
The way things stand now that player will
not be given show even to see how his
arm is. March has asked for a trial but
the management has refused him. 1t will
be in the nature of things for HIM to sign
with Spokane or Portland and endeavor to
make holy show of the local boys every
time they meet.
A dispatch received last week bv Man.
ager Work from Los Angeles left Tacoma
still hunting for twirlers. The dispatch
was from Pitcher Darby, who demanded
$3.50 per month and 500 advance money.
This young man is rather an uncertain
quantity.
There was a well attended meeting of
the Tacoma Athletic Club a few nights
ago at the club rooms on Railroad street,
The chief topic under consideration was a
plan for the formation of an amateur base
ball league to include the cities of Tacoma,
Seattle, Port Townsend, Victoria and
Olympia. 1t was decided that Portland
was too far distant to be included in the
proposed league, although exhibition
games may be played with q club from
that city. A committee on grounds was
appointed, made up of the following gen.
tlemen: G. w. Rowe, H. E. Trey
vett. s. L. Rau, William Evans,
Everett Grisgs and Mr.. Ponder. AS
result of the committees efforts
arrangements have been made to rent
section of land near the race track. A Gin
der track, bicycle track, baseball diamond,
etc., will be laid out for the convenience
of the club members. A grand stand will
not be erected this year On account of lack
of funds. The grounds will be inclosed in
time for the spring tournament of the
club, which comes off April 20. The tour
nament will consist of field sports, sprint
ing, hurdle races, cricket, tennis, baseball,
putting the shot and football, and it is ex-
pected the sports will draw large crowds.
Charles Pope, the noted local amateur
foot and baseball player, today stated that
he would help out the Puget Sound League
club here with his services, and the local
colts are correspondingly elated.
E. W. Powell, of Seattle, has met with
success in this city in working up the ad-
vertising end of the official league score
cards. Mr.. Powell has purchased the
Seattle and Tacoma score card privileges.

SAN Francisco, March 4.-In the case
of Captain Williams, of the ship Frederick
Billings, twelve of the crew swore that the
captain beat and wounded two men, but
the captain testified that the men were not
hurt and only punished for not obeying
orders. As to the charge that he made no
effort to save the five men who were lost
overheard, the captain said that had he
lowered a boat il would have been
smashed to pieces by the wreckage before
the men could have got into it. He de-
MED that he pushed away the wreckage
with sailors clinging thereto. Commits
sioner Sawyer dismissed the charges
against the captain.

PARIS, March 24.-M. Ribot, minister of
foreign affairs, has informed Lord Duff
ferin, the British ambassador, that after
the close of the investigation the govern
ment has concluded that no blame is
attached to the police for arresting Purdi

at the Auteuil races on suspicion of being
English pickpockets, and therefore France
refuses to make reparation or apology for

enormous good to the people. Mr.. Balfour
reciprocated the spirit of Mr.. Gladstone's
advances. The bill passed the second

THE CASE.

" are in favor of organized labor. We
would be glad to see honesty and compe-
tency flourish in every trade-we would
be glad TO see such business live in its
own house and have something for a
rainy day.
But let Us think. Is there not room for
honest labor TO save itself and make itself
decent: Why should it incite mad men
and crazy men and lunatics to murder
gentlemen who happen to have a little
money: What did Prick do? He SIM
ply said that organized labor was nothing
to him, that he did not propose to toler-
ate its dictation and the consequence was
tina; he was shot. Labor did not shoot
him, but it inspired the deed. 1t made a
wild man wilder and he thought in his
crazy brain that he could do the business.
But he failed. The Illuminating caps
which he held in his mouth and with
which he intended 10 blow off his own
poor head failed of action. But here is
the part which people will not swallow.
Did that poor loon, unsuccessful, think
that he could make an exchange OF lives.
Did he suppose that when he killed
FRICk that TO give his own life would
palliate the crime: 1t seems so.
The world saw its BooTH at the wrong
time. When the great LINCOLN passed
