It is reported that when the price of coal went up the wages ofaU miners on [ Puget Sound were advanced 15 per cent . on the stipulation that if the price of coal went down wages should be lowered as much as they had been {advanced . During the past : few months ! thu 1'1 ice of Seattle coal has dropped from $10 to §0 in the San Francisco markets , thu supply being so much greater than : thu demand . Owing to this drop in prices the coal companies now claim that at the present prices coal cannot l ho mined and marketed so as to leave a fuir margin of ) profit. To moot this exigency moctins have been held by the mine operators , IIlIda ) reduction of 15 per cent . in the wages of miners has been determined upon ' .

The bill to incorporate the Brocton Point Athletic Club received a first read- ing in the Provincial Legislature yester- day ¬ . In Mr . Tolmio's bill to amend the GameProtection Act , now before the Provincial House , it is proposed to jno- tect cock pheasants until October 1st , 1800 , in order to allow those fine birds , which , arc becoming very scarce , to in- creuso and multiply . Another good move , and one which should win for the mover the thanks of every sportsman . The cxposurufur snlu of venison less than one year old , by the amendment to the game laws now before the Legislature , is to be made il ¬ legal , . The shooting of fawns is not mailu an glFencc , but the sale of the incut is . Steps should bo immediately taken to prevent net fishing in The Arm " and the harbors along the coast . A few years ago good fishing was to be had in James Buy aldall the way up to the Gorge . Now a bite " is a novelty in these waters . The ' cause is to bo found with very little trout bio in the fact that every day fishermen ale out with their nets , and are rapidly emptying The Arm " and bay of good line fish . 'S .

ICONTWUKD [ FROM 1.0\023.1 A member Then wo would have to got here at 11 o'clock in the morning . Hon . Mr . Vonion , speaking to the motion to adjourn , remarked that it was strange that those who opposed the bill should txko the opportunity Hon . Mr . Humphreys claimed that tho hon . chief commissioner was out of order . Mr . Speaker said that he was not . He was spoakingto the motion to adjoun.j ; and could discuss any question ho chose Hon . Mr . Vernon was surprised at the remark of the hon . member for Comox . Ho was speak \ ing strictly to the question and was going to show why the question should not bo voted on at present when their was not a full House . lie hoped that thu resolution to adjourn would bo withdrawn and the debate adjourned un- til all thus members wore present . Hon . Mr . Dunsmuir did not think this was a snap vote at nIl The members who were absent , if they had boon doing their duty , would have been in their seats . The bill should bo taken up and carried , or defeated . Tlio hon . chief commissioner was wrong in suggesting such I a Lhuiusgas a snap ) vote . " Mr . Grant and Mr . Davie referred to the necessity of waiting to take action until members who wore absent , but who took a Hveut interest in the bill , were in their scats . Said Mr . Davie, the hon . president of the council , should remember that he may possible bo absent himself aomo time when matters of interest to him come up for discussion . Hon . Mr . Dunsmuir remarked that in sven years , he had only been absent from his seat when the House was in session , two days , and then ho was sick . Mr . ' 1 . Davie repeated that no action should be taken until the absent m mbnrs could bo present . lIon . Mr . Dunsmuir They are not sick . They have been attending the Van ¬ comer banquet ' . ( Laughter .) Mr . T. Davie said that the question was not whether the House would allow certain schools of medicine to practice in the province . It was , would they allow any ono to practice in the province , with out his giingLilY evidence of a know ledge of the fundamental principles of rnrdicBlscionce . Ho only wished the de ¬ bate : adjournoil to secure a full and fair discussion . lIon . Mr . Turner thought that tho ab- s rft members had purposely withdrawn , ifs they wished to allow their amendments to duuupout . . Mr . Bole withdrew his resolution to ad , ¬ journ j . Mr . Orr's amendment to ( the bill , and Mr. Higgins ' amendment to the amend ment were read . The hon . attorney-general , referring to what had been said in regard to homeo pathic physicians : not being educated in the same line of practice as allopaths , thought that if they did not possess knowledge of tIme subjects 1'0- furred to in the amendments , they wore not competent to exercise the rights lIfa physician or surgeon . The admission of anyone to practice , simply on presenta tion ofn diploma , was not in the interest of public safety . Bogus diplomas could bo purchased in America as well as Eu- rope , and the provincial secretary would not bo in a position to say whether or not they were genuine . Anyone who presumed to treat human ailments should possess a knowledge of the subjects referred to in ' the amendments . and should not object to passing an examination upon them . Mr. Bole thought that the subject was ono that required the fullest ventilation , and moved the adjournment of the de- bate - . The motion was again lost on a vote of 10 to 7 . Both amendments to the report of ( the committee were defeated ; . Mr . Anderson movud time adoption of the report . Mr . [ Bolo moved , in amendment that the report be referred back , to the com mittee for amendment . The amendment was not seconded . Mr. Bole , before entering into an ex ¬ planation of his motion ( , upon which , ho remarked , he had plenty to say , noticed that ho had not signed the resolution . He took his seat for a moment to do so. Mr . Grunt rose immediately and claim cd that having : taken his seat , the worthy member for Westminster city was de- barred ¬ from speaking upon his resolution . Mr . Bolu appealed to the House and to the speaker . lie was orly taking u rest before commencing , and it'IIsn't fair to bole " him out that way . Mr . Gr.uit was inexorable , however , and called upon the speaker to carry out the letter of the law , and the member for Westminster was forced to resume his seat amid the laughter ; of the [ House . Mr . T. Davie , moved the adjournment of the debate , it being understood that he was to have the floor on the reassembly of the House . The motion was carried , and the House rose to sit again to.dlYlIt the usual hour . QUESTIONS . Hon . Mr Humphreys To ask the hon . attorney-general : " What amount of money has the government expended in the effort to obtain the 250000 from the C. P.ll . Co.l ? Do the government intend to pursue the company / any further ? Mr .

Hay wiird & Junkinson , the builders , and the building wu.it certainly at the time fur in advance of any existing church edifices in the province in point of architectural beauty and adaptability a place of wor ¬ ship . The foundation stone of the church Ivies laid by the Free Masons on the 20th August , 1808 , and Lime usual deposits placed in the stone , interesting speeches being delivered on the occasion . Dr. Powell , as Master of the Scotch Lodge , laid the stone and received the gift of a silver trowel to be used on the occasion . The building wits completed and dedi i ¬ cated on the 4th of April , 1869 , the Rev . Dr . Lindslcy , of Portland , and Mr . Ait ken , of the FueL Presbyterian Church in this city , assisting thereat . In 1870 the Rev . Thomas Sommorvillo was succeeded by time Rev . S . McGregor , who labored faithfully for eleven years against the tide of depression , which might well have led him to seek for a more promising field . In 1881 ho resigned his charge and re - turned to Scotland , where ho still labors as minister of the parish cf Appin . Mr . Mcfircgor was succeeded by the Rev . R . Stephen , who entered upon the pas torate in 1881 and resigned in 1885 ( . In 1887 the congregation determined to unite with the Presbyterian Church in Canada , and having obtained the consent of the Colonial Committee of the Church of Scotland , they applied to the Presby- tery ¬ of Columbia at time meeting in November , in Victoria , to be received , requesting at the anne ) time that the necessary steps bo taken towards moderat ing in , a call to n minister . On December 8th unanimous call was given to the Rev . P. McF . Macluod ' , which was ac ¬ cepted by him , and ) , on the 7thof March , Ill just a year ago today , Mr . Macleod was inducted into the ll\slml 1 charge of ( the congregation . This first year of the present pastorntu has proved an eventful one ( in the history of the congregation , and the record of the years work is attached to this statement . The Pastor and Building Committee desire to record their thankfulness to Almighty God for all the mercies bestowed upon them in the past and earnestly trust that the erection of this now building may bind the hearts of the people together and lead to now con ¬ secration in the service of the Len . This statement , together with a copy of oehuf : tlio city dailies , and the leading Presbyterian journals : of the Dominion and a few current coins was then placed beneath the corner stone . Rev . Mr . Macleod then presented to the Hon . John Robson the silver trowel which had been presented to the building committee by Lisa architect , Mr . Triinen . I It had) been the unanimous , wish of the committee that the honorable gentleman should perform the ceremony of laying the corner stone , ho having taken such a deep interest in the work of erecting a now church . The stone having been lowered into position the Hon . John Robson declared the corner stone laid in thin following words : Our architect has pronounced this cor- ner ¬ stone well and truly laid , and we hope to see erected upon it for the worship of Almighty GodIn edifice alike credit nblo to Presbylerianiim and the city . Pita Great Architect of the universe has declared well and truly laid in Zlon ! the Chief Corner Stone , upon which it is hoped those worshipping in this earthly temple we are about to raise will erect a spiritual temple which shall endure when those bricks shall have crumbled buck to their native dust . " An appropriate h'mnVlLS then sung ind Rev . Macleod o1l'urodup prayer . A short congratulatory address was made by the ; Rev . Scoullar , of Now Westminster , who dwelt upon the fact that exactly one pear age to the very day the Presbytery ImadmsieL to induct the Rev . Maclood into the : pastorate of St . An rov'sland so jrcatly had the work prospered under him It was now found necessary to provide in - creased : accommodation . The Rev. D. Fraser followedand was gratified at the substantial growth which lad been made during the past year in all parts of the Presbyterian work in the province . _ The Venerable Archdeacon Scrivon was the ; next speaker , and related an incident of n Church of England Bishop who , on being asked by Presbyterian minister to contribute _ towards . the . erection ! of . a now Kirk , " objected that it was hardly the thing for a bishop of the established Church to do , but was willing to give : 5 towards the expense of pulling down the old building . It was not necessary for him , the speaker was glad to SIYIto use nny such equivocation in doirjj hill ' part on such an occasion as the piusont , for no matter how much the Churches differed in their methods of doing good , all were aiming at the same result . The Right Rev . Bishop Cridgo , in A short address , congratulated Rev . Mr . Maclend and his congregation on tho stop which they had taken , and said that inoi- dents like the present showed how false was the oft-ropoatod assertion that all churches would sooner o'r later bo turned into lecture hulls . , boenI , byI the Roy, Mr . Maclood , who also stated that Rev . Mr , Wadman , who was present , had not sufficiently recovered to make a public address . The Rev, Mr . Rugg made a few re - marks and was followed by Mayor ,Grant , who pointed nut that such , undertakings as these were another evidence of the ma - tonal prosperity of the city and AniiidicA- : NEW ADTCKTUEXEXTB . u I LEET , GORE & CO . , I . .

Macleod then made n few closing remarks , dwelling particularly : on the happiness which ho had experi- enced during his first year as pastor of St . Andrews , and fervently prayed that the saino kindly fooling ono towards another might continue . The doxology was then sung and the Rev . Mr . Mcllno pronounced the bono diction . The interesting proceedings were brought to an end by the band playing the National Anthem . . A CORRECTION .
