Indies, containing the intim alton or threat
that if the colonies saw fit to enter into a pre-
f~erential agreement with Canada they must
expect retaliatory Legislation from the
United States. This, Of course, is at once
o~fficious and ridiculous. There is no official
warrant for any such Interference The
special correspondent, consciously or uncOn-
sciously sharing the view of Nh. Mccarthy,
technical adviser to the Commission, points
out that the United States does not move
out of it's way to work ~harm-does not re
taliate for nothing. He says in so far as
America now takes its bananas, it's grape
fruit, or it's lines from the British islands, it
does so for its own convenience. So long
as it continues to be convenient, be declares,
it will not be stopped By any arrangement
which those islands may make with any other
part Of the British Empire. When it ceases
to be convenient (Which will be at the mo-
ment when Americas own possessions are
capable of supplying it's demand) no senti-
mental motives will make it go on buying
from British producers for one unnecessary
season. We have it from the writer that the
extreme desire to avoid giving offence to the
United States drove several witnesses into
extraordinary ungracioueness towards Cana
do. Reference is here more particularly
made to statements from many sides that
Canadian preference has been of no value
to the West Indian planter. This is too broad
q statement, we think. 1t can be modified.
The planters do not say that the Canadian
sugar market has been Of no value to them,
bnt have pointed out that the preference
has not been SO large as it was represent
ed to be. The writer concludes his coniri-
button by stating that the loyalty and love
Of the West Indies have endured through
many trials. eff they but have, as most Of
Gus now believe that they will have in the
almost immediate future, the encourage
"ment Of a change of trade policy III the
Mother Country. they will break forth with
IAN enthusiasm Of which even the most con.
"ident of English Imporialists hardly
dreams. "-Dem. Argosy, 10Th AprH

CANADA AND THE WEST INDIES.

The Times special correspondent who
travelled with the Royal Commission, contri-
butes a short but incisive article touching
the Imperial issue involved in the terms of
reference of the Commission At the thresh-
old of things he notes the individuality of
which each unit Of the British West Indies
is proud, and which it delights to parade,
coupled with a jealousy of aloofness-senti-
ments which he says are admirable in them
selves, but which do not facilitate the max
ing up of JOINT commercial agreements. He
brings into prominence the fear which
invests some of the islands touching retalia-
ton by the United States in case a ~recipro-
cal treaty were agreed upon between the
Dominion and the smaller colonies. The
defensive attitude Of some of the islands was
distinctly noticeable. He states that there
were evidences from the outset of o more or
less definitely organized campaign of resist
ance. In regard to this it appears that there
was one great influence at work, and readers
vii! he interested, but hardly surprised. to
learn that it took the shape of circular letter
from a New York firm of exporters and COM
mission merchants to merchants in the West

WOMAN SINGS SONG IN A WRECK

The captain of the Pericles tells the fol
lowing narrative of the loss of that fine new
liner and of the saving of the 500 persons or
board her.
"On March 30 there was a strong gale.
but this moderated to a fresh breeze on
Thursday, with a fairly heavy swell. About
three o'clock / was on the bridge taking
bearings. [ was seven or eight miles south
of Cape Leeuwin, and considered | was well

shock. The fore part of the ship had struck
o knob Of rock. The after part did not strike
THE bulkheads were Immediately sbut
and the pumps started. II was of no avail
II turned her towards the land, few dis
tress signals, and ordered boats to be ready
After steaming a couple of miles we lowered
away the women and children, and after
them the others. Everything was orderly
and there was no panic.
fortunately the sea was not very formi-
dable, and in half an hour all the boats were
away. The women and children behaved ea-
p%eoiaIly well, and everybody was landed
without a scratch.
THE lighthouse keeper lit signal fires to
guide the boats, and al we're on shore bv
1880. l have travelled the SANE course over
thirty times, and the rock struck was un-
charted.
The passengers have lost everything. and
many are penniless. No salvage Of the mails
lost is probable.
A passenger says: "At 1876 I had Just
played the seven hole at deck golf, and was
laughing, when o sudden shock made the
vessel tremble. Then there was q roar. as if
steam was escaping below the waterline. The
steamer heeled to starboard, but kept moving,
Then she heeIed to port, but righted herself
again, still moving.
The whistle blew with all its force; then
we heard the order man the boats The
Mortified passengers began to come up fast

THE "ST. CROIX."
Reconstructed OF Passenger Accommodation
Danish Prince Pleased With IT..

If really frst-cIass passenger accommodation
goes for anything, the East Asiatic Compa-
ny's steamer "St Croix" should be one of the
most popular boats sailing between British
Guiana, the West Iudies, and Europe. She
has been practically reconstructed 50 far as
the cabins are concerned, and an idea Of the
complete nature of the work done will be
gathered from the fact that it cost between
G5, 900 and { 5000. The reconstruction pro-
vides for six or eight more passengers than
before, but it was effected not 80 much with
the object of increasing the accommodation
as bringing it thoroughly up-to-date, MAX
ing it more convenient and comfortable for
passengers, and SO making as pleasant as
possible II voyage on her. This object has
been handsomely achieved. The cabins are
as clean. bright, and cosy as they could well
be. The colour scheme adopted IN them all
10 white, with dark green upholstery, which
gives them o singularly luxurious appear
ance. The state rooms are large and airy,
weIl-!it during the day aid are admirably
Illuminated by electric light at night. The
dining saloon is q splendid apartment. 1t is
elegantly and luxuriously furnished, and
there IS an artlsticelly panelled roof. Beau
tiful oil paintings adorn the walls, and there

rily the tedium of the sail. The berth-cab-
ms look delightfully."- cosy; and the smoking
room, which has been transferred from the
saloon deck to the promenade deck above,
has such a nice appearance that it cannot
fail to be q avourite haunt of the 'mere
men" amongst the passengers. Among
those on board the "St Croix'' on her voy-
age after reconstruction were the Danish
Prince Valdemar "a brother Of Queen Alex
andra) and his three sons. They were bound
for Bankok, but terminated their voyage at
Colombo on receipt of the news of the death
of the Princess Marie of Denmark. The
Prince expressed himself as highly satisfied
with the accommodation of the steamer, and
there is no doubt that all others who go on
board will be as well pleased with it. The
"St Croix" is just now at the wharf of her
Georgetown agents, Messrs. Sandbach.

Duke of Connaught Governor General Of
Canada.
It is already assured that nine monarchs
will attend the funeral. The King and Queen
of Norway, the first arrivals, were met at the
station by King George and Queen Mary,
who accompanied them to Buckingham Pa
lace, where they were Immediately admitted
to see the body.
King George hos authorized the announce
ment that his father would not have desired
any interruption of heWhitsuntide holidays,
therefore his Majesty hopes that the gener-
al mourning will not prevent enjoyment of
the usual opportunities.
The German Emperor will attend the flu
neral. The Reichstag yesterday rose and
adjourned.
All Toxic went into mourning, even the
trans carrying the Union Jack and Rising
Sun flags crossed.
Mr.. Redmond has protested to Mr., As
quith against the inclusion in the coronation
oath of the clause abiuring Roman Catholic
dogmas, and possibly will introduce a ques-
ton in Parliament.
Mr.. Barnes, the Chairman Of the La
bour Party, says King Edward was in
clined towards reform of the House of
Lords but that King George is more
disposed to require g. popular mandate
before asserting. The tendency towards @
political truce is stronger.
TIL French elections are completed and
the political balance remains u~ndisturbed,
some shifting within the Radical and So
cialist groups viii restrain the extremists
without depriving them of control. There
Is some surprise at the failure Of the Catho-
lies. The Royalists and ReRctionaries make
gains.
The Spanish elections give the Premier,
Senior Canelsias, a majority despite republi-
can gains.
