Winnipeg, April 3-The latest ferendum returns show a total vote in favor of the liguor act of 10.621 and against of 16600. In Winnipeg city, { the ballot stood 2450 for and 5517 The concensus of opinion seems to be that prohibition is, for the present, removed from polities { and that no pelitical party will re introduce it for many yeurs. The license holders feel well repaid for their arduous campaign. They act ed very calmly last night and did not | grow excessively jubilant over their | vietpry. The saloons and bars were | tightly locked up, even after the polis had closed. There was nothing doing { at the prohibition headquarters and the few faithful that gathered there were much disappointed, especially as regards Winnipeg The temperance leaders received the result in silence and will not express an opinion in the matter. They are strongly non-committal, Mr. Mulock, chairman of the dom- inion alliance, said he would prepare a statement, hut nothing else could be got from him, At the prohibition' league commit !tee's headquarters shout the same | state of affaird existed. Mr. Taylor | refused to talk on the vote itgell, but he condemned the manner in which it was taken. In many polls the prohi hLition serutineers were kept from as- suming their duties for some time by substitutes who got there ahead of | them, presumably, appointed by the liquor men, and during that time Mr. Taylor said the ligior men had | "oot in some of their fine work."

Harper's Weekly Certain details of the prince's visit viewed in the retrospect do not seem to reflect undue credit upon the dis eriminating judgment of his entertain ers. His itinerary anil the necessary discomforts thereof pere not ours to change, since, like & summer breezes the prince's goings were of his own listing; but those who looked after the gastronomic side of his highness' Ame rican tour appear to have been a sin gularly fatuous lot. A perusal of the | menus of the various festivities at | which our guest sat him down and ate shows an overwhelming array of blue point oysters, terrapin, and canvas back duck. If the prince were to con clude from this that these things are the chief staples of food in this coun try, and that our hams are made only for export, he would not lack justifi cation, and in the matter of canvas back ducks he must have suspected at least that we were experimenting with him to see if a single individual could eat thirty game binds in as many { days amd survive the ordeal in full enjoyment of his digestive powers. Upon what principle prince Henry was accompanied everywhere by a gastronomic guard of terrapin and ennvas backs is one of tue mysteries | Why he was not introduced to chicken {a Ia Maryland is a point as full of | perpiexities as a controversy and for what earthly reason it was considered wise to overload his ¢to mach with petits fours and marrons | glaces at every feast, to the exclusion | of planted shad, sally-lunn, buck wheat cakes, pumpkin pie, and Bos ton baked beans, we shall probably never know. We can snderstand, in 5 measure, why it was that the prince was given a special performance of gravd opera, which he can get evéry vight of the week ot home! rather than that he should have been enter tained at Weber & Ficlds', the like of which he never saw anywhere from Potsdam to antipodes. There were good reasons for this, but why 4 man who has come hither to see how we live and what we live on should have nothing but yn endless vista of terra pin and petits fours canvas-back ducks and marrons, blue point ovs ters and Camembert, surpasses capa city of human intelligence to answer naval At Royal Presentations. At court presentations to king Ed ward and queen Alexandra, the ladies make a quick curtsey to the king, and gently lift his extended hand upon the back of their own right hands with a scarcely perceptible kiss. The same formality is observed with the queen, who in certain cases has the power of extending the special favor of her kiss. Neither is it right to kneel in the proper sense of the world. A swift curtsey embracing the other members of the royal family who may be pres ent follows, and the lady passes on, not backward, but turned discreetly sideways 80 as not to show her back to the royal party.
