The thieves effected their entrance by removing two panes of glass from the upper sashof a window at the ' rear of the premises . Pass ing through the aperture they found themselves iiian apartment used as a . sort of lumber room , but further intru sion was denied by a locked door . The ] obstruction , however , was only tempor- ary ¬ , f r'tho'burglars quickly applied an ax to the lock and'wrenched it off They then found themselves in a passage and , .

They soon disposed , of tlio ' look,1, but to their dismay the door . . securelyb . of , perseveranceworthy of a better cause the thieves ' again proceeded ' td'npply their ax with good effect and had alihoat maim . aged to withdraw the bolt when the noise they had made awoke Mr .

It i is evidence they were strangers to the premises , as they could not have selected a more unfavor able portion of the building to gain a speedy entrance . The work they had to perform , in order to overcomo the ob- sttuctioni ' nuit l have occupied at least three quarters of an hour .

A BROAD , AND CATHOLIC ARTICLE FROM . . ' ' ' " THE N . Wu HERALiH " : . . - , " . : . : We clip .lhe following arti lefi'om'tile / . " N. , W. Iferulct , yesterday . Although in parts we think tho/wrilerdoes : ' is scarcely J justice to Island sentiment , wo cannot deny that in other respects his criticism ' ia not altogether unfair . nut ,tllero\\'erc faults on both sides ! . , Wo commend ' the al.ticle-cspeci:1lIy . its last half ttJ \ tlia careful Sunday reading and incditatioii of our thoughtful subscribers . . It would seem to indicate that the Island is on : the ' ' . eve "fa good understanding with the; Mainland section and that henceforth that two parts ofa whole " will work to ¬ gether with unity of purpose and object ' to achieve 1gl'eat and prosperous dos I tiny : I " Our friends across the Gulf propose considering , in mass meeting assembled , the subject of an island railway . The question has ; a history and , for the matter of that , so have Victoria " mass meet ings . " It willstill be within the range of ordinary recollection that a " mass " gJ'ehecd . . way to E.snuimalt , no Confederation . " Coming l\f many similar follies : down to a much more secantmhmto , another ' " mass meeting " allowed itself to bo led away by the same song set to a now tune li- Tho Island Kailtvny or Separation . " Then , again , ( there is the dreary record of strenuous cllurts to carry the railway far n01'thof Vancouver , where it would have been virtually lost to Columbia , rather ( than that it should come down the fertile valley of the 1'I'asel'j , ; and although those efforts failed in their suicidal object , they undoubtedly resulted in needless oxpendi- ture of time and money on surveys , and in several j eeg ' ilolny in the commence ment of railway construction . It would scarcely be surprising ifa question around which such historical memories cluster should find little favor in Main land c'esnd yet it is well ) that the quchcinbittoring a spirit of fairness nnd dealt with on its own merits'imon Columbia formulated willingto . American Empire it is quite obvious that aIm island [ railway was not present to her mind . On the contrary , in designating and distributing the various public works which Canada was to be asked to under- take ¬ , it was expressly intimated that , as the Canadian Pacific Railway . would doubtless reach the sea nt.Bufrard lillet , the . graving [ dock , should be _ allotted t to the island upon the gronnci of territorial die tribution , rather than on account of an) ' supposed superiority of Esquimalt as a site . In fact the graving dock was con- cccdcd to Esq uimalt as a seton for Btir- rnrd having the railwayVoli , Durrani : Inlet has the railway and Esquimalt ] has the dock ; and thus it will beseen that all is fair and square up to that point that is so far as tlm : Torins of : Union are concerned . Vancouver cannot have any wellgroundedclaim \ ' for n. railway as a Dominion work . But \I'ould.llot be al- together fair to rent the question here ; and it is our desire to deal with it in a spirit of fairness , if npt magnanimity . There are nof wanting circumstances which may bo taken to constitute reason- able ¬ ground for expecting , if not also lutely claiming , an island ] railway at tilt hands of the Dominion Gorernmcnt . First of all wo have that government in a premature and thoughtless memento - cially proclaiming EsquiniaU , the terminus of the Canada Pacific Railway , and hav ing a twenty mile lleItof land ex- tending ¬ fi-um that point } t I to Seymour ' Norrows placed under reservation * Next wo have a proposal from a succeeding ad ¬ ministration miff , iiiKi to , construct il-mil way from Esquimnlt to Ntuuitno , as a distinct work ; and when the bill author- izing ¬ the same is thrown . out by the Sen- ate ¬ we find the name administration oiler- ing, in lieu of the railway , a specific sum of money equal to ten thousand dollars per mile of said railway. Our present business is to state facts , not criticise ac ¬ tion else wo might dilate upon the folly of rejecting this money offer , i-cgamdimmu ! the matter from an i isjand point of view. Last but not least com > the socalled Car narvon Terms , which unquestionably , in- cluded a railway between Jsqllilll:1Itand Nanaiiiio and which might fairly bo con Bidol'edns having bound the Dominion ( Government had Columbia taken such an bindingTimeso . , taken in connection with , time fact that . in anticipation of Canada keeping faith in this matter the reservation has been loy - sailmvaybelt island against settlement ought , ono would think , to be regarded as constituting some claim for consideration at the hands of the Dominion ( ( iovornmcnt , and moro es- peciallyat tho hand of the jirntrnt Do ¬ minion Government , nnd of this wo feel confident that if the claim be put forward with wisdom and moderation urged upon grounds and in a way which cannot be considered as conflicting with limo . rights and interests of other sections of the 110 vince , the people of the mainland will bo found disposed to overlook past differ ences , furgivo past wrongs ; and magnani mously second the reasonable efforts ot the people of Vancouver Island to secure their railway . .
