La GRANDE is stricken with a
siege of incendiaryism, Last week
two attempts were made to destroy
property, In one instance an
effort was made to burn the dis
trict which the Chinese inhabit,
and in another, oil had been nsed
to distroy an ice house, The
officers over there should appre-
hend the fends and a rope and
the limb Of a tree should be brought
into instant use.

With very few exceptions the old

such grand parts in the national his

see that his election was a blessing

The report of the superintendent
of the railway mail service for the
past four years shows that the per-
centage of killed and injured in
railway accidents is pretty high
among postal clerks. There were
80 killed and 553 injured. The ex-
posed position of the postal cars
in the forward part Of the train, is
chiefly responsible for these re-
suits, for in the event of q smash
up the postal car is apt to suffer
the greatest shock. 1t is hardly
practicable to place the postal car
ina less exposed position on most
railway trains, but the safety Of
the mails as we'll as Of the postal
clerks demands that all feasible
precautions should be taken. The
postal cars are now built, under
the requirements of the postal de-
partment, in the most substantial
manner possible The superinten-
dent of the service advocates the
use of the vestibule pattern, which
would diminish the danger from
collision by distributing and equal-
izing the pressure received from
the shock. Perhaps the adoption
of steel employed in some tubular
form of construction would lessen
the danger of accident.

necessary vested rights therein may
be condemned public uses under

other section was adopted advising
every state in the arid domain to
enact laws for the supervision and

for advancement on the supreme

amend Mr. Morley's proposal by adding the
words "or place Of reaihcncc" The Govern
ment opposed this amendment.
Mr.. Sexton anti Parnelitel. member for

drawing millions Of pounds from Ireland and
s"onding the money elsewhere. Ireland. he
declared ought to receive some compensation
for this practice Mr.. William Redmond

therefore it would BIO left to the discretion OF
