TERMS ARE TOO STRICT.
Promoters of Canadian Railway OBJ
ject to Governments Ideas

Victoria. 3. c.. March 29.-When the
government supporters meet IN caucus
to consider the different propositions
forwarded to the administration in reply
to an investigation for tenders for the
construction Of the coast KOotenay line
they may find that the parties who ex-
pected TO lay their proposals before them
failed to do 50. Promoters of the Vic
t0ria, Vancouver and Eastern now in
the city do not hesitate to say that they
Will not table tender under the terms
of the specifications which they hold to
be prohibiuFe. The principal terms of
the agreement which must be complied
with to render tender possible are as
follows:
l. The company must contribute to
the government four per cent of the
gross earnings Of the road, said percent
age to be a first charge on the railway.
, All contracts must be submitted to
the lieutenant governor in council for
his approval, and all materials used in
construction OF the road must be sub
ject to similar approval.
3 No aliens must be emp1Oved in CON
struction unless it can be shown to the
government in council that the road can
not be built without recourse to them.
.. The rates are to be subjected to the
some point on Vancouver Island daily
from the mainland.
8. The rates are to be subjected to ire
supervision Of the government in coun-
Gil
The Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern
promoters say that the imposition of
the first mentioned clause would be to
saddle the scheme with an incubus
which would be fatal to floating the nee
essary loans. They also allege that that
condition would be repugnant to the
Dominion statute, which provides that
running expenses must be first charges
on the earnings Bondholders would also
object to any other charge taking pre-
cedence of theirs. Four per centage Of
the gross, they say. would mean about
twelve per cent of the net earnings. The
provision relating to aliens is also con-
sidered superfluOuS and ultra-vires of
the province, as Dominion laws prohibit
the employment of aliens
To Nictorians there is some disap-
pointment in the fact that although pro-
vision is made for q daily ferry, Victoria
is not mentioned as one of the terminals
of that railway and under the specifi-
cations some other island point might
be selected. It is felt in some quarters
that the conditions would not be ac-
cepted even by the Canadian Pacific
railway and that no tender viii be made
for it and the building Of the road be
deferred.

ROYAL BODYGUARD.
Duties Of the Regiment to Occupy the
New Berlin Barracks

New York. March ga dispatch to
the Herald from Berlin says: In Berlin
the extra ordinary speech Of Emperor
William upon the occasion of the open
ing OF the new barracks at Kupfergra-
ben is attributed to the feelings of the
kaiser in regard to the Bremen outrage.
One account says that the emperor re-
ferred to the proximity Of the new bar
racks to the royal castle, and the fact
that the regiment would serve 5 a royal
bodvguard. The big barracks building
would. he said form a sort Of tower in
the middle Of the town OF Berlin. and
would also serve to defend the city in
case of need.
But" added his majesty. IF ever the
city Of Berlin should again rise against
its ruler, the regiment would be called
upon to quell with its bayOnets the in
subordinatiOn Of the populace toward
their king

WHAT DID he MEAN?
Berlin Is Agitated by the EN-
perOr's Queer Speech

Berlin. March 2s.-The conservative
papers do not discuss Emperor VIII
liam's speech to the Alexander grenadier
regiment at their new barracks yester-
day, but the liberal papers generally
comment on his majesty's utterances
emphasizing the statement that the en-
peror is i'll informed concerning the
character Of the March C1S4S) revolution
in Berlin. The National Zeitung ex-
presses its inability to comprehend what
current events induced the emperor to
refer 70 the revolution in 1S4S, and says
It does not see any signs Of his maj
esty needing a bodyEuard.
The Nossische Zeitung is also unable
to see any occasion for the emperor's
words, since nobody IN Berlin is think
ing OF a revolution. and his majesty's
predecessors repeatedly recognized the
loyalty of Berlin's population.
The Vorwaerts cites 4 number of pre-
vious speeches Of the emperor exhort-
ing the soldiers 10 fight for him when
necessary, and claims it has authentic
ally as follows:
If the city of Berlin should again i'm
pudently and disobediently rise against
the king as in 1S4S then my gTenadiers
II will be your duty with the points of
your bayOnets to annibafafe the inn
pudent and disobedient."
The Tageblatt is amazed. and asks
what has occurred to justify the EN-
perOr's words 1t points out that the
revolution of 1S4S was not directed
against the Hohenzollern dynasty. and
appeals from the nl-infOrmed emperor

TO LEASE FAIR GROUNDS
Topeka Exposition Co. VIII Make
Proposition to That End.

"a meeting OF the old Topeka Exposi-
ton company was held last night in the
Commercial club rooms. Frank Foster
was the chairman OF the meeting Al
though it was small in point Of num-
bers, It was large in its scope and the
preliminary plans for a large and popu-
lar undertaking were discussed and COM
merted upon.
The lack Of numbers Of members OFT
at the meeting IS accounted for by the
fact that the association has been prac-
tically dead or sleeping for considera-
bic length OF time and the stockholders
have almost forgotten their organiza-
tor However IA Of the 50 stockholders
were present, several Of whom held the
proxies of other stockholders. The meet
ing last night was adjourned to meet
again next Thursday night, at which
time an election OF officers viii take
plaee.
A committee consisting Of N. A. Low,
D. O. Crane. Chas. Samson, O. P Upde-
graz and " Kaczynshf was appointed
to consult with the county commission
ers relative to the possibility Of securing
a lease on the fair grounds for term
Of sears. II IS understood that the
county commissioners are favorable TO
letting the grounds out to some assOcie-
ton for such purposes as the Topeka
Exposition association has designed
The commissioners have had PROPOSE
tiors made them from private parties Tor
the rent Of the grounds but the COM
miss toner's are Of the opinion that tile
public will derive more benefit and viii
be better served by letting the grounds
out to a n association composed OF rep
rescntative citizens than to let it out to
pr1rate parties and therefore look with
favor upon the plan of the members OF
the Exposition association
This committee viii make a report at
the next meeting. at which time a large
attendance is anticipated. and at this
time decisive action will be taken.
If the fair proposition IS adopted an
effort viii be made to secure the pave
1nent of Topeka avenue from Fourteenth
street 10 the fair grounds gate
The new grand-stand viii be erected
on the south side of the race course. The /
objection to the srand-stand where it
was situated before its destruction by
fire was that it faced south. and every
enc had to witness the events with the
sun in their eyes.
A south breeze is always stirring. and
during racing events the clouds of dust
which rolled up into the grand-stand
was very diSagreeable. and these Objec- 1
StonS can De easily overcome by build /
ing the Erand-stand on the south.
The erection Of the grand-stand in
that location carries with lit another adj
vantage. The electric line would BE-
built from Kansas avenue to the fair
grounds gate From there the line
would be built south to the south line
Of the park and back to Kansas avenue
making a loop. The distance from the /
he reduced to a minimum, while IL the
srand-stand is placed on the old site it
necessltates a walk Of about three /
blocks

New Pacific steamer Line.

San Francisco. March 2s.-The Chronicle
says: The fact that two new steamers
the Ascension and Para guay-have clear
ed from Baltimore for San Francisco and
are to be followed by three others owned
by the same company is taken as evil
dence that a new steamship line is to DE
inaugurated on the coast in all nkeli-
hood between San Francisco and Hawaii.
The two new steamers are consigned to
the JohnSon-LOcke Mercantile company.
President Johnson said yesterday that the
coming Of the new steamers meant q new
