MCnnavs, May 19 The story of the Arctic is the most striking incident of this week's Parliamentary proceedings. The JArctic isa wooden vessel of 762 tons, made in Germany and bought second hand by the Canadian Gov- eromeont for $70,000, which was an exeellent bargain for the seller. By the time she got to Quebec, her cost was $80,000. Then the Gov- ernment spent $30,000 in repairs, all made without tender, and she was loaded down with an extra- ordinary assortment of supplies, and sent off on a cruise to northern waters. The Minister of Marine says that she was to have been gone three years, exploring and patroll- 'ing HudsonBayand the Arctic coast of Canada, asserting and protecting _ Canadiap rights against foreign "trespassers. Three years age Mr. Sifton privately iuformed Mr. Borden such a cruise was intended, sting him to secure the silence "of the expedition] , might haye 'got to | fouton, had 'been ettirhed, calling a Bur- flag ship Scylla {and the Newfoundland government Py. | steamer fona' were staying. There was a smocking concert, suppers and other social affair. The Arctic broke her propeller, | which was replaced by an old Ger man one, as the spare propeller sup- plied at Quebec, could not be used because a glot was cut in the wrong place. Her windlass went to pieces, het general unfitnoss was abundant ly demotistrated, and so she came home. = - * A PICNIC PARTY. But the trip was quite a picnic. The ship carried fourteen of the polide" force, including thirty four, mostly officers, stewards, | waiters and cooks. There was a historian at $125 a month, who has written nothing that has come to light, a physician. a photographer, two mates, a purser, a quarter mas- ter, stewards, three waiters, two cooks and one cabin boy, The reason for all these cooks and wait- ers is apparent when one studies the bill of supples as given by the Audftor General, remembering that the policemen's requirements were to another department. Cigars, tobacco and liquors for the thirty four men were furnished to the value of $6,338, or pearly $200 worth for each man and boy. What They Wore. Selections from the clothing ac- count, give an idea how sellers of this class of goods exploited the Artic. For the thirty-four men the department bought, 38 uniforms at $35, 30 at $8, Bo suits of pilot cloth at $19, 80 other suits at $19, 40 at $19.80, 40 fur coats at $30, 40 fur pants, at $22, 40 jackets at $5 50, 40 leather jackets at $10.75, 40 more coats at $15.40, ulters at 814,740 pants at $3.50, 8o oil suits at $2.50, 25 overcoats at $25. There were g6o pairs of shirts and drawers, 84 more shirts, 8 more drawers, 120 undervests, 8o pajamas 120 guernseys, 240 over-shirts, and two charged 49 shirts (at $2.50 each.) There were 400 pairs of socks, besides 40 pairs of sleeping socks at $3.25, and 40 of moose hide at $4 each. The crew was provided with 40 laavy caps at $2, 8a of leather at A ki at $2.75, 4 at §2.50, wit south wesgters. There were 440 pairs of gloves and mittens, 240 of which were $4.50 and 84.75 a pair. One hundred and eleven sleeping bags were purchased, the cheapest $25, and the highest at §225 These goods, amounting to $118,- ooo were purchased without tender, though the expedition was planned at least a year before the ship sailed.

Doz: ens of my friends have offered me money, and from some I bave bor- rowed ; no one had any matey, save that which they usually carry in their clothes. The Government and everyone else has poured in supplies, and there are reports in certain quarters that people are lay- ing up food against a rainy day, and still others that boys are wast- ing good food, and so I trust no oue has gone hungry ; some who camp- ed in the Parks and the Presido were rained on, but no ill effects are to be seen as yet ; 'there are thous- ands of people still in the Presidio and Parks, especially Golden Gate Park, living in tents as comfortably as they do in the summer time, All the business men are geiting together, those who were away are coming home and many have re- turned on special trains from New York and Washington, and each and all have a loving affection for our burned City and will do their ut- most to re-build it and make it the most beautiful city in the world, and she will be. We will devise something besides brick chimneys and defective flues rotect our sletric lines from cros: own with -a little greater shake thao usual. We are not so badly damaged by the earth quake, but the fires were set in all parts of the city and at once, except the electric lighted hilly, residence portion ; the reason,--partly from crossed electric lines ; chiefly from kerosene lamps and early morning fires ; in one case because a China. man thought he would get rid of 150 gallons of gasoline and let it down the sewer, you can imagine the explosion that took place when it reached the fire line, and how rapidly it travelled to the point of commencement. One woman was warned not to build a fire but she did and destroyed millions of dol- lars worth 'of property in Hayes Valley, and one of the largest and and oldest churches in the City. You have probably read horrible tales of shooting and looting, of people buried under ruins. These have all been terribly exaggerated ; less than one in a thousand; there is very little sickness,and no epidem- ic; everyone is cooking on the © fstreets, in little shanty like houses|® | in some cases, and in others just a | pile of bricks with a hole jm the jcen-] el ter for the fire and the grate of an St | oven over the top.

He objected to the common way of of speaking of trade competition as commercial war, It is true the sim- ile is not a felicitous one. There may be much of the strenuousness of war in the offensive and defen- sive trade policies of nations, but unless we want to bring into them the spirit of war, we should not habitually represent them as a dis- turbance of the peace. High tar- iffs and export bounties might ;pro- voke ill-will between touchy pow- ors and breed strife. Germany has more than once put a strain on the temper of other powers by her measures for her own commercial good. But the seizing of advant- ages and the putting of rivals at a disadvantage must be accepted as the law of trade, and should engen- der feelings of sport, not of war. Scugog. CHURCH ANNIVERSARY.
