royal navy which paid frequent visits to
the shores of Vancouver Island, more
gradually became noticeable feature of
its society.
Then came the news of gold discoveries
in various parts of the country tributary
to the struggling settlement, and then the
influx of the army of the argonauts. From
California, where they had tasted the
bitter and the sweet of the gold fever. the
treasure-seekers with pick and shovel
poured into Victoria, equipped themselves
and passed on in hundreds and thousands
to the Frazer or to Cariboo. The history
of Victoria's life during the sixties is the
history of many places in the West which
gold finds have made famous in a day.
The mad search for riches made the
village city, and one while the excite
ment was at its height of considerable popu-
lation and constantly changing character.
After the fever came the reaction which
even more tried the young and struggling
city. Many of its citizens, however, knew
its worth, and Victoria passed the crisis
safely, and commenced the steady, SUBJ
stantial growth which has led to its recog-
nition to-day as the wealthiest city, for its
size, upon the continent.
Located at the southern extremity OF
Vancouver Island, the situation of Victo-
ria is remarkable for its beauty and its

men. To its own natural advantages, ap-
parent to intelligent observers even before
the ak had been laid to the first tree on its
eite, Victoria owes not only its birth, but
its growth in population, wealth and COM
mercial importance. 1t has had no arti-
ficial advantages; no railway crossing a
continent to give it life and commerce; no
brilliant picturing OF the beauty Of its loca-
ton or the salubrity of its climate; no
worldwide advertising of the untold values
of the virgin mines and forests in the tribu-
tary country, or the wealth of its adjacent
waters are to be thanked by Victorians for
the importance that their city has thus far
attained in commerce or the attractions it
offers TO people of wealth and refinement
in search of a delightful place of residence
or resort.
Fifty years ago, before immigration to
the shores of the Pacific was attracted by
the discovery of gold in California, Fort
Victoria had an existence. The gold
seekers were preceded by the fur-dealers,
and the first house in what is now the
queenly capital of British Columbia was
that of one of the adventurous traders of
the Hudson Bay Company. As years
rolled on the importance of the post on
the southern extremity of Vancouver IS
land became more and more recognized !;
population increased (the city now num-
bers some $4,000 souls); the Hudson Bay
Company with its storekeepers, trappers
and traders forming one important class,
while another, drawn from the ships of the

nal glory and delight. It is on the line of
travel for all visitors to this part OF the
world. Splendid daily mail steamers bring
from the city of Vancouver, the mainland
railway terminus, eighty miles through
the picturesque scenery OF the lsland-
studded Gulf and Straits of Georgia.
At Victoria all the ocean lines toc US.
From here to San Francisco one has the
choice of two roHtes-via steamer to Seat
tie or Tacoma on Puget Sound and thence
by rail. and by direct ocean-going vessel
from Victoria direct to the Califo rnia
II etropolis. The Australian liners spend
several hours at the wharf here on both
inward and outward trips, and it is at
Victoria that they take on the numerous
passengers who come by the great rail-
ways of the Northwestern United States
on their way to enjoy the tropical delights
of Honolulu or the more extended trip to
the Australian colonies. The magnificent
vessels plying to China and Japan-the
one line run by the Canadian Pacific Rail
way Company, starting at Vancouver. and
others by the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, from Tacoma and Portland
likewise make Victoria their first port of
call inward and last of departure for the
Orient.
Regular boats ply at short intervals be-
tween this port and the island and main.
land settlements in the far north OF the
province, and in the summer season
palatial steamers make special excursion
trips to the northern ports and Alaska,
the scenic wonderland ofthe North Pacific.
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-23

A railway line connects with Nanaimo
and Wellington, the center of the coal
industry, and another penetrates the
fertile Sanich:district, having its terminus
also in this city. While all routes thus
lead to Victoria, no traveller past this
western gateway of the Dominion should
fail to arrange for a stay here.
Holiday makers from the eastern parts
of Canada and the United States ale year
by year more numerous IN this city at the
gate of the straits, but were the charms of
this North Pacific resort fully understood
these visitors would be numbered by thou
sands instead of by hundreds as at present.
No Atlantic watering place presents equal
advantages with respect to the climate,
which in Victoria in the midsummer sea-
son is absolutely unsurpassable, and If the
distance from the Eastern centers of popu-
lation is great, com pensation is found in
the interest and fascination OF the journey
across the continant, and especially of the
trip through the mountains.

adaptabiiity to the purposes OF commerce.
The city rises gradually from the Straits
of San Juan de Fuca, and from the land
locked harbor In which its extensive ship
ping lies in safety. The grades from the
waterside through the business section to
the suburbs are all gentle, and no high
bluffs, alike dangerous and inconyenient,
mar any of the wide and well-kept streets.
The harbor and shipping facilities cannot
be surpassed.
By the expenditure of hundreds of
thousands OF dollars private enterprise has
constructed at the entrance to the harbor
proper docks, capable of accommodating
and sheltering. in the roughest gale that
blows, the largest steamships and sailing
vessels to be found upon the waters of the
Pacific. Their course from the ocean is a
clear one, there being no dangerous and
tortuous channels and no shoals or rocks.
At this outer dock-for which r. P.
Rithet deserves the gratitude of Victo-
rians = abundant water and excellent
wharfage is afforded for shipping of any
draught. The shore line of Victoria har-
Dor, which is entirely protected by the nat
ural conformation of the land, is about
seven miles in length, good anchorage be-
ing found in many places, while well-ap-
pointed wharves extend for nearly mile
or more in almost unbroken succession.
Here it is that dozens of steamers and sail
ing craft of all sizes are to be found at all
seasons of the year, receiving or discharg-
ing freight.
Besides being prosperous business GEN.

resort of the Pacific Coast north of CaIifor-

terday.

Three barge crews of the South Ena
Rowing Club pulled friendly race
through the mist yesterday morning over
a three-mile course from the boathouse
and around the buoy off the sugar refinery.
They were the Seniors, the Invincibles and
the Defenders.
The Senior crew in the barge Charles N.
FELTON, was composed of Henry Bode, bow;
Bob Macarthur, ,forward-waist and captain;
Gus Carson, afterwaist; Frank Duplissea,
stroke. and George McGrilI, coxswain. The
InYincibles, in the barge Fly Blister" were
Tim Barry, bow; H. Smith, ,forward-waist;
Dave Campbell, after-waist; George Bates,
stroke. and Thomas Guilfeather, coxswain.
The Defender crew, pulling in the South
Ends new racing barge, were Charles Cut
Ter. stroke; James Paulus, after-waist;
Ed'ward I'd Scully. forward waist; Edward
Tobin. bow, and Doc Flynu, coxswain.
The Seniors being the crack racing crew
took the barge FELTON,, that being the
slowest boat, TO even up the contest. The
Fly Blister is paper-weight craft, SO light
that she was once blown off the wharf by
a South San Francisco zephyr. When she
was first turned over to the club she was
covered with paint-blisters and a waggish
rover christened her the Fly Blister.
At the start-away the Seniors plunged
ahead, taking the lead by boat length,
the other boats pulling we'll together.
They all kept inshore to avoid the ebb-
tide and turned the stake, the FELTON, lead
ing by almost two lengths, the new barge
last.
The stretch home was strong tug of
war, the Blister trying her best to push
her black nose past the head craft. But
the old boat beat her about length and
half with the new barge several lengths
behind.
The Fly Blister's crew think that with
little more practice they can overlap the
crack crew and a race between the two will
take place shortly.
The referee was Albert ]. Fritz and the
judges William T. Humphrey, William
Thomas and Young Mitchell.
The South End professional crew, which
had itself taken out of the amateur class
year ago, is now seeking to return, as they
cannot find any racing competitors among
the ''profesh."
The Ariel Club is making extensive
preparations for their entertainment and
dance on the 7th of April at Union-square
Hall. Various members of the dramatic
companies in the City, together with
host of the best amateur talent, have
volunteered. An elegant brochure and
programme, in the clubs colors, is in the
hands of the printer.

VICTORIA, 3. c., March 20.-To any
one who reads the newspapers the name at
least of the capital city of British Columbia
has familiar sound. Victoria gives to
the American public in many instances
the first particulars that are received of
whatever of importance is happening, not
alone within the great and constantly
growing province of British Columbia,
among the sealers or. in British North
Pacific naval circles, but also in China,
Japan, Australia, Hawaii and Alaska.
This being the case, it is only natural to
suppose that the American public is
interested in the city and, to certain ex-
tent. curious, no doubt, as to how it has
won its commanding position as news
and trade center, second to none but San
Francisco on the Pacific Coast.
Victoria is essentially self-made city.

KILLED At A CROSSING,
An Unprotected Cut Proves Fa-

No Flag, No Gates, No Lights to
Warn Passers on Randall
Street.

A man respected by his neighbors
brought 20 death without an instant.s
warning, two small children left orphans,
and family distract with grief are the
gruesome record of the Southern Pacific
train that left Fourth and Townsend
streets last evening at $50 o'clock.
This man was Angus Mcdonald, a
laborer, who resided at 837 Arlington
street.
1t was at a point most propitious for
such fatalities that the frightful accident
occurred, and it was just such an accident
as occurred there yesterday evening that
serving the locality.
AS the train was emerging from cut in
the bills that end at Randall street the
engineer observed q man crossing the track
in front of the locomotive.
He hurriedly put on the brakes, but al
ready the man had been struck by the cow
catcher. Slowly the speed of the loco
motive was reduced, but all the time the
body OF the man was being cruelty battered
along the ties and crushed on the rails.
By the time the engine had been brought
to standstlll the man was dead.
Michael J. Cooney, who resides near the
scene of the accident, is the one eye wit
ness to the entire affair. He was standing
near by and saw the doomed man ap-
proach the track. Night was falling and
he paid little attention to the man until
he saw the locomotive coming from the
cut. 1t was then too late. From the point
where the engine comes into plain view to
the roadway is a space too short to allow
any material action, and the next time he
looked the man was being pounded to
death on the ties.
The deceased had been living with his
sister-in-law, Mrs. MaIoy, at 837 Arlington
street. Recently he buried his wife, and
since that time Della, his 14-year-old
daughter, and Peter, a son II years OF age,
have been in Mrs. Maloy's care.
Mcdonald was 46 years of age and was
born in Glasgow, Scotland. He was a
Catholic and q, regular attendant at st.
Mary's. There was found in his pocket
when he met his death copy of a Catholic
He was a street laborer, gen.
orally acting as boss.
AT the point where the accident sook
place there are no gates, no flag, no lights
and positively nothing TO warn the ap-
preaching passer-by of danger.
