We left for Vic toria from Port Angeles on tin? (Steamer Eyiincjel. A carload of can ned salmon was taken aboard with lis for shipment to the east, and LhtK we took onnortunlt to look Lh rough the cannery. It is managed by a young Hume of Astoria, and must i rove a great financial success. The run of fish is heavy this year, and jfter the lirst few days ttie price was ;ut from six cent apiece to below one cent a piece for iisli weighing from ten to twenty pounds each. The can- aery Is not as clean as we expected to find it. The head men iro Clilna- nen In every department, and white Mien, women and girls do the dress ing, packing, wrapping labeling, etc. mere are put up all brands, the "Co lumbia River," "Pugci; Sound," 'Fia- Rlcr River," "Skeen River," "Alaska" to., and all out of the same catch, ?hu silver sides, known hero as the Esock eye," are mostly taken. About 150 hands arc now employed at Port Angeles cannery. 'Victoria Is reported as being a handsome English city, We failed to jfltid the great beauty, but must ad- Kuit the ultra foreign air. Like Salem, -MiVi is an old settled city, having jjKen a prominent station of the old Hudson's Bay Co., and still has many Ejcient land marks of interest, among paMem the wreck of the Beaver, the lirst. ship to plow the waters of Pu- Ret Sound. r Great Britain hero maintains a Rival station for repairs of vessels Bnd supplies. Here we visited II. M. (, Impereuse, a flag-ship of the Eng- sh navy. She is considered a tine t lar ship, but she certainly did not Bmpare favorably in appearance with Uncle Sam's yar ships recently at foitlaud. The ship itself was fairly lean, but the men were far from bo ng on dress parade. They weie bare- Jtcd, dirty and slouchy. Adjoining the naval station tho madian government has a dry dock, Hilch. Is a magnificent piece of basonry. It consists of a walled dock jito which the largest man of war can at. After it Is in, the gates are used when In six hours the water la II pumped out, leaving the vessel Sigh and dry for repairs. KTiiese are located at Esqulmault, Bout three miles west of tho city, In Crock bound harbor Of 40 feet average fpth. Opposite the mouth of the ly is a fort well supplied with guns id men. Adjoining Is a magazine Mtlon containing tons of j owder and all. Further up Is a naval hospital. hie bluffs -against which these lie are Dmposed of Immense black boulders, rlilcli in diminished form make their Ippearance we are told all oyer Van couver's Island. r The new parliament buildings are lubt being completed, which arc the lincst structure in the city. The building with Its annexes Is put up ritli granite and gray sandstono of a ine quality, all cut Ju the finest style n( the stone mason's art. The -build ing contains much more room than )regou's Capitol, and in finish Is be- rond compare. The legislative nail being finished In a variety of marble ind all the floors are laid In handsome tin designs throughout.

The suDerln icnaeiu or construction is employed by the government, and when asked about -the possibility of boodle, he said: "That is one thing, at least. In which we excel you Americans, wo permit no such thing as boodle in the public service.'1 These public buildings face on James Bay, and will present a mag nlliceut appearance when tho spacious grounds are finished off with lawns, llowers and shrubbery. Jo Fones ought to come up here and take a lesson in cutting grass and keeping lawns, and at the same time he could show the bloom In' Britishers how to trim their shrubs. We saw no shrubbery here that could compare with that in Oregon, and conclude that the climate is not so favorable for it. Private lawns here are fine, but little taste is shown in the ar rangement or selection of llowers. Most people have high board fences around their places, whichto an extent hide their bad taste in floriculture and landscape gardening. Dunsmuir castle Is the only home here thai presents the appearances of royalty. It It a beautiful stone resi dence In the center of about 20 acres of land In the west side of the city. but it is not occupied by any of the nobility. The owner was old man Dunsmuir, who is no more, and while he lacked the royal blood, he was a coal baron and worth millions. This is regarded with as much favor however, as blue blood. Victoria has scores of miles of good macadamized streets and roads. She is now on the eve of an election to au authorize a loan of $10.1,000 for more good roads. The sidewalks here are very poor, being of flag stones and wood, with little regularity in their construction. The streets are mostly of broken rock. All over the city can be seen painted and placarded.as well as pasted on uiu Dearas: vote ior good roads." This is Interspersed with the legends: "Drink Olrlsh whisky" and "Single tax." What these propo sitions have to do with each other is unknown to tho tourist, but the fact that they are all given due considera tion is constantly in evidence. There is still great complaint of hard times here as well as in Oregon, although the Klondlcltis is relleylng the stress to some extent. Strange to say, the people here don't attribute this to the Cleveland administration, lack of tariff or the silver craze. They account for it, to some extent, by poor crops, low prices, unfavorable sealing arbritratioaand other causes, among the rest tho lack of liberal govern ment. British Columbia is the one colony at present that has the only conservatives In the national parliament all the other colonics, being Liberal and hav ing Liberal local government. It is thought by many here that Mr. Tur ner, the present conservative premier, will bo succeeded by a Liberal. As everywhere else, the "Ins" are apol ogizing for their administration and the "outs" arc sure that aJchange la needed for relief from all manner of draw backs. Wages have been very low here atd work scarce, but the gold excitement Is relieving both conditions to 6ome extent. Laboring. men now get 81.P0 per day when they work, and me chanics about 82.60. They only work nine hours a day Tho Chinese are numerous here, and take tno leaci in i ,,.Jnnlnn flclllnrr. TVIplrl n(T linn flLlier Hardening, flslilnjr, packing and other Industrie. Word cabie frdiu Lfcbrjob last spring that no salmon would be bought that war packed by Chinese, whereupon the celestials were all fired from the canneries, but after two days they were taken back, and they are now putting up thousonds of cases of the famous red fish "packed by white labor." Tho residents here think our exclusion acts are good, but regret that previous treaties of her magesty prevent similar action. The Canadian government taxes Chinese and Japs $50 per head, and they sceui to preier mat 10 wing tracked as they are on our side. Wo saw a score 01 uninamen trying 10 get onto our steamer for Seattle but they could not produce the propdr credentials, and were not permitted to come aboard. Uncle Sam's cuutoni Inspectors seem to take pride In giving them the full extent of the law. Most products sell here at about the same price as at home, but all man ner of schemes are devised to fleece the tourist. Our American money is taken freely by all classes here, but we had to be careful to take no Ctnadtan (money back 1o thestatts with us, as it is promptly discounted by tho "blarsted Yankees." This seems very strange, when these very money changers who discount It are constantly telling us of the necessity of having sound money, a dollar that is good tho world over. They refer us with great pride to the monetary system and currency of gold standard Britain as the great model to be fol lowed, yet when any of that ideal gold redeemable money Is presented to them It is Immediately discounted from 10 to 20 per cent. If the "silver heresy" should ever place the American dollar in this fix I should ycry much dislike to see the agitation go on, but If money Is not "as good as the gold," what Is the good of the gold standard ? We sailed on the Northern Pacific Steamer City of Seattle, for Seattle thoroughly enjoyed the six hours trip across the sound. This Is an old steamer, but elegantly equipped, and reminds one yery much of the great "floating palaces" on ,the Mississippi river in the""palmy days of steamboat lng twenty-flvo years ago. A. F.
