I may say that the halibut served by the Canada Glub at Montreal on October 21 was from Refrigerator Car No. 2026 which was consigned to Hatton & Co., Montreal, by the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Co., and which left Prince Rupert on the morning of October 14, arriving at Mentreal 7 a.m., October 20. I am sure this will be of interest to our friends in Prince Rupert and you might finally hand the menu ecard te the manager of the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Co. Yours truly, F. NORMAN, Superintendent. The bill of fare is a good deal like all other bills of fare, but when it comes to the fish we read, “Prince Rupert Halibut, fried, 50 cents,’ and no doubt the club pat- rons got good value for their money. MOSLEMS ARE NOT WITH GERMANY Attitude of Younger Element in India Made Plain by Spokesman. Caleutta, Nov. 3.—The best test of the attitude of the younger school of Moslems in India is the opinion of Mohammed Ali's Delhi paper, The Comrade: “If any cause can be ours,” it says, “it is the British, and if Germany counts on us she is mistaken. It would be bad business also for Turkey to lavish on Germany the lives, energies and resources she needs for her own quarrels, singe Germany never spared any for her when she was beset by still great- er perils, “We do not wish to be eynical, but self-preservation is the first law of nature, and nature is inex- orable and ruthless in punishing to its deecalogue. Germany has done nothing as yet for the Turks to deserve the sac- rifiee of a single man, much less a street riot in a single town or village by Moslem sympathizers of Turkey with a view to embar-. ass their own government, We do not in the least mean to insult the inteNigence of Turkey, and to eonvinee her of it we frankly econ. disobedience fess that, whether her choice is peace or war, the eonsequence will be hers, not ours, sinee she must exercise her own judgment and surrender it lo nene,” mans are retreating eastward in large numbers. Halifax, N.S., Nov. 4.—Two na- tives of this city and two other maritime province lads are mid- shipmen on the Goodhope. The Halifax boys are A. W. Silver, son of H. 8. St. Clair Silver, and W. A. Palmer, son of Lieut. Frederick A. Palmer, R.C. The other maritime provinee boys are M. Cann of Yar- mouth and C. W. Lady of Halifax, who is signalling officer on the Goodhope. Midshipman Palmer's last letter received here was writ- ten on September 16, when the Goodhope was off the coast of Uruguay, and the letter reached Halifax via London, three weeks ago. Midshipman Silver was heard from a week ago, but the letter was six weeks coming and the place at which it had been mailed was not specified. These four Canadian midshipmen are all graduates of the Royal Canadian Naval College, Halifax. Seattle, Nov. 4.—Eight hun- dred and eighty precincts in the State of Washington, ineluding 290 in King County, give 77,069 for prohibition and 76,191 against it. The eight hour law has been defeated, this is admitted in all quarters, Every other issue is overshadowed by the prohibition question. Candidates are over- looked in the general campaign, and only reports of the results on the prohibition measure are at- tracting attention in Seattle. THE WEATHER. Compiled by F. W.
