gagged in a movement 10 organize troop

such high character as to make IL the
crack military organization on the Coast
and have it rank socially with such COM
panies as the CITY troop. of Philadelphia,
and the Light Horse squadron. of Mil
waukee, which are fashionable social
organizations.
The four troops of cavalry forming the
First squadron of cavalry of the Washing
ton National Guard comprise the full COM
PIGMENT of that branch of the service as
limited by law, but it is expected that
the Sprague troop will be mustered out as
the result of its recent characterization,
thus affording a chance for the mastering
in of new troop here, which would fall
heir to the arms and equipment of the
Sprague company. About forty signatures
of prominent men have been appended to
petition asking to be mustered in. and
Mr.. Metcalfe expects to organize full
sized troop of sixty-three officers and men.
Besides these tits the intention TO have an
honorary membership, to be composed of
those who do not care TO take an active
part in the military work, but would lend
the organization all the encouragement
possible.
Mr.. Metcalfe has written Adjt Gen.

He has also written to Maj. Ashton. of the

British Generals aud Baronets Accom-
pany Them-Canadisn Pacific to

A special train, consisting of four pri-
yate cars, rolled into the city over the
Great Northern railway at Z O'Clock last
evening, carrying distinguished party.
which consisted of Sir William c. Van
Horn, president of the Canadian Pacific
railway; Lord Mount-Stephen and Sir
Donald Stewart, large stockholders and
directors of the Canadian Pacific; Sir
John McNeill and Sir William Blackstock,
generals in the British army; James j.

Paul last Monday morning in special cars
A 1. Saskatchewan, Metapedia and Super
intendent Farreil's private car.
Mr.. Hill declined TO be interviewed, say
ing that he was too busy, but Mr.. Van
Horn talked readily. He explained to a
PosT-INTELLIGENcER reporter that he came
West solely on pleasure trip and he
would return to Montreal over his own
line, as he was quite anxious to note the
effect of the late great freshet upon the
Pacific division of the Canadian Pacific
Mr.. an morn saiu llldk ms inc
had not been affected in the least by the
strike. As to acquiring control of the
Seattle Lake Shore & Eastern he stated
that he was unable to give an opinion. as
the interests of the line were so diversified.
Mr.. Van Horn stated that il would require
large outlay of money TO prote It his line
from future great freshets, 'but. said he,
1.-The high water mark is now known and
we will prepare for future water ravages."
He declared his road to be doing fair
freight and passenger business, and the
Oriental and Australian lines of steam
ships to be steadily growing into popular
ity and prosperity.
This" said he, sis my first visit TO
Seattle, and l regret that my time is so
brief as to prevent a thorough examina-
ton of one of the greatest cities on the
Coast"
The party went out for drive in the
evening and will leave at o'clock this
morning over the Great Northern Coast
lines for Vancouver From that city the
Canadian Pacific party will go East, while
Mr.. Hill and his officials will return TO the
city within two days and probably remain
a couple of days.
