Is Likely to Continue Its Semi-Weekly Steamship Service Late. The semi-weekly service of the Trunk Pacific Gompany’s boats from the southern cities to Grand Prince Rupert is likely to be maintained a month later this year than last, as the travel has been exceptionally heavy. It is improbable that the Prince Ru- pert will be withdrawn until af- ter the beginning of November, judging from the information so far received by the officials of the company here and in Vancouver, Toward the end of October, when northern travel slackens, the steamship Prince John, Cap- tain Wearmouth, Which is on the direct run from Vancouver to the Queen Charlotte Tslands, will be converted into an oil burner. It is expected in this way to greatly increase the efficiency of this steamship, and by using less hold space for storage of fuel increase the vessel's cargo carrying capac- ity very materially. Last year the company con- verted the Prince Albert, whieh alternates on the northern run with the Jrince John. But by the time things were ready for the conversion of the Prinee John that vessel was needed back on the run, and northern travel at that time began to pick up. It is understood that the Prince John will be the last of the G. T. P, fleet to be changed, It is not thought that the Henriette will be converted, as she is an old vessel.

In the hands of the burglar was a revolver, As he sprang through the door onto the steps, the lit- tle stream of light from the offi- cer’s torch blinded him suddenly. “Throw up your hands or I shoot,” said the thug with the wicked little gun gleaming in the light. In a moment he staggered the policernan’s club descended with crushing foree upon his head and when he was suflicient- ly recovered to show fight the handcuffs were about his wrists. The officer had utterly disre- garded the threatening weapon, and the order to throw up his hands, and used his club” with telling effect. ’ Mr. Maddison and his family were absent from the house dur- the burglar’s visit and when they returned they found that every drawer, cupboard and re- ceptable in the house from cellar to garret emptied on " the floor. Lying on the kitchen floor Mr. Maddison found his silk hat, The police have reason to be- lieve that Grant may be the same as ine was man who so nearly shot Mr. Me- Daniels in a pistol duel across his bedroom recently when the latter was awakened by a search- light dancing across his room.
