Perry, member for Fort fleorge in the Provincial Legislature, Premier Oliver has been negotiating wilh American syndicates for the taking over of the P.ti.E. and ihe E.I). & B.C. Railway and conuecting'lhem through one of ihe we.tern passes aiid-opcraliiig Ihein as one system. The government of British Columbia was prepared to make an extensive land grant and it was expected that. the co-operation of the Alberta and Dominion government would be secured. The syndicates had been informed just how much aid'Mhe B.C. government would give mid the matter was still under ad-j vjsement. Railway Heads Not t t Anxious For The Job. , , . President Deatty has been losingsa lot of money on Ihe operation or the B.D...& B.C. railway, more it is said than was lost during the same time by the 1U5.E. and he is hot looking for further trouble. Sir Henry Thornton does not see any use lb which he could put ihe P. ( I;E. Railway, .v Yet offers have been. secured by Premier Greenfield of Alberta in regard .to the operation, of Hie E.I. & B.C. line and the probability is that it will be extended westward across the British Columbia boundary very soon. What is certain just now is that;no. government, Dominion op. Provincial, feels itself justified in' spending large sums of monejj on railway building whehMlie railways they already have are not' paying operating expehses. ' ' National Awakening Proceeds.

Preparation has been made in the educating of a great many young' men in the universities and schools of the United States, Canada, and Great Britain and European countries. Just now it seems as if Russian activities were playing an important part, which is hostile to British interests but which will be a great impetus to the rousing of a national spirit in China.

The principal delin-uuetils were found in Vancouver, Victoria, New Westminster, Oil i 1 livvack and I'enliclon, although re-adjustments were necessary in other centres.
