It is reported that when the price ofcoal went up the wages ofaU miners on[Puget Sound were advanced 15 per cent .on the stipulation that if the price of coalwent down wages should be lowered asmuch as they had been {advanced . Duringthe past: few months! thu 1'1 ice of Seattlecoal has dropped from $10 to § 0 in theSan Francisco markets , thu supply beingso much greater than: thu demand . Owingto this drop in prices the coal companiesnow claim that at the present prices coalcannot lho mined and marketed so as toleave a fuir margin of )profit. To mootthis exigency moctins have been held bythe mine operators , IIlIda) reduction of 15

'

per cent . in the wages of miners has beendetermined upon' . Just when this reduction will go into effect has not been definitchy determined upon , but it will not bolonger than a few day * .

which , arc becoming very scarce , to in-creuso and multiply . Another good move ,

and one which should win for the moverthe thanks of every sportsman .

Steps should bo immediately taken toprevent net fishing in The Arm " and theharbors along the coast . A few years agogood fishing was to be had in James Buyaldall the way up to the Gorge . Now abite " is a novelty in these waters . The '

cause is to bo found with very little troutbio in the fact that every day fishermenale out with their nets , and are rapidlyemptying The Arm " and bay of goodline fish .

ICONTWUKD[ FROM 1.0\023.1

A member Then wo would have togot here at 11 o'clock in the morning .

Hon . Mr . Vonion , speaking to themotion to adjourn , remarked that it wasstrange that those who opposed the billshould txko the opportunity

Hon . Mr . Humphreys claimed that thohon . chief commissioner was out of order .

Mr . Speaker said that he was not . Hewas spoakingto the motion to adjoun.j;and could discuss any question ho chose

Hon . Mr . Vernon was surprised at theremark of the hon . member for Comox .Ho was speak\ ing strictly to the questionand was going to show why the questionshould not bo voted on at present whentheir was not a full House . lie hopedthat thu resolution to adjourn would bowithdrawn and the debate adjourned un-til all thus members wore present .

Hon . Mr . Dunsmuir did not think thiswas a snap vote at nIl The memberswho were absent , if they had boon doingtheir duty , would have been in their seats .

The bill should bo taken up and carried ,

or defeated . Tlio hon . chief commissionerwas wrong in suggesting such Ia Lhuiusgas asnap) vote . "

Mr . Grant and Mr . Davie referred tothe necessity of waiting to take actionuntil members who wore absent , but whotook a Hveut interest in the bill , were intheir scats . Said Mr . Davie , the hon .

president of the council , should rememberthat he may possible bo absent himselfaomo time when matters of interest to himcome up for discussion .

Hon . Mr . Dunsmuir remarked that insven years , he had only been absent fromhis seat when the House was in session ,two days , and then ho was sick .

Mr . '1 . Davie repeated that no actionshould be taken until the absent m mbnrscould bo present .

lIon . Mr . Dunsmuir They are notsick . They have been attending the Van ¬

comer banquet' . ( Laughter . )

Mr . T . Davie said that the questionwas not whether the House would allowcertain schools of medicine to practice inthe province . It was , would they allowany ono to practice in the province , without his giingLilY evidence of a knowledge of the fundamental principles ofrnrdicBlscionce . Ho only wished the de ¬

bate: adjournoil to secure a full and fairdiscussion .

lIon . Mr . Turner thought that tho ab-s rft members had purposely withdrawn ,

ifs they wished to allow their amendmentsto duuupout. .

Mr . Bole withdrew his resolution to ad, ¬

journj .

Mr . Orr's amendment to (the bill , andMr. Higgins ' amendment to the amendment were read .

The hon . attorney-general , referring towhat had been said in regard to homeopathic physicians: not being educatedin the same line of practiceas allopaths , thought that if they did notpossess knowledge of tIme subjects 1'0-

furred to in the amendments , they worenot competent to exercise the rights lIfaphysician or surgeon . The admission ofanyone to practice , simply on presentation ofn diploma , was not in the interestof public safety . Bogus diplomas couldbo purchased in America as well as Eu-rope , and the provincial secretary would notbo in a position to say whether or not theywere genuine . Anyone who presumedto treat human ailments should possess aknowledge of the subjects referred to in '

the amendments . and should not object topassing an examination upon them .

Mr. Bole thought that the subject wasono that required the fullest ventilation ,

and moved the adjournment of the de-

bate-

.

The motion was again lost on a vote of10 to 7 .

Both amendments to the report of (thecommittee were defeated; .

Mr . Anderson movud time adoption ofthe report .

Mr . [Bolo moved , in amendment thatthe report be referred back, to the committee for amendment .

The amendment was not seconded .

Mr. Bole , before entering into an ex ¬

planation of his motion( , upon which , horemarked , he had plenty to say , noticedthat ho had not signed the resolution .

He took his seat for a moment to do so .

Mr . Grunt rose immediately and claimcd that having: taken his seat , the worthymember for Westminster city was de-

barred¬

from speaking upon his resolution .

Mr . Bolu appealed to the House and tothe speaker . lie was orly taking u restbefore 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 outthe letter of the law , and the member forWestminster was forced to resume hisseat amid the laughter; of the [House .

Mr . T . Davie, moved the adjournmentof the debate , it being understood that hewas to have the floor on the reassemblyof the House .

The motion was carried , and the Houserose to sit again to.dlYlIt the usual hour .

QUESTIONS .

Hon . Mr Humphreys To ask the hon .

attorney-general : " What amount ofmoney has the government expended inthe effort to obtain the 250000 from theC . P.ll . Co.l? Do the government intendto pursue the company/ any further ?

' Amlroiv'B Church ansi, laid .The building , which will bo situated outhe corner of Broughton and Douglasstreets , has already Loon described in thispaper , aud when completed will mark innow era in the history of church architecLure in this city. The architect , Mr . L .

Buttress Trimon , will hand over to themanagars of St . Andrews a building ofwhich they will have every reason to feelproud .

The ceremoNy , yesterday , WAS witnessedby very many, both old and young , whileon the platform were clergymen representing all thoProtestnnt denominationsin this city .

The oxurciana wore opened by the bandof "C " battery ploying thai 100th Psalm ,after which novo E . D . McLaren road() a

!portion of Bcripturo and the Rev . D . Mc-line , Moderator of the Presbytery , offeredup prayer . The following historical statemont was then read by the secretary ,Win . \Vhytc; , Esq . :

The congregation of St . Andrews Presbyterian, Chut'chWRS formed under thepastorate of Rev . Thomas Summorville ,

on the SLIm September , 186(1( . Public wor .

ship wits conducted for some time in thehall on Broughtun street , and , in July ,18C7, the initial steps wore taken towardsthe building ofa church , the colonialcommittee of the Church of Scotlandpromising a grant of l:11,500 sterling to ¬

wards that object . The site was chosenand plans prepared , which resulted in thebuilding of the present church tit a cost of

'

$11,081 , the situ included Mr . Tiedo-man was the architect , and Messrs . Haywiird & Junkinson , the builders , and thebuilding wu.it certainly at the time fur inadvance of any existing church edificesin the province in point of architecturalbeauty and adaptability a place of wor ¬

ship . The foundation stone of the churchIvies laid by the Free Masons on the 20thAugust , 1808 , and Lime usual depositsplaced in the stone , interesting speechesbeing delivered on the occasion . Dr.

Powell , as Master of the Scotch Lodge ,

laid the stone and received the gift of asilver trowel to be used on the occasion .

The building wits completed and dedii ¬

cated on the 4th of April , 1869 , the Rev .

Dr . Lindslcy , of Portland , and Mr . Aitken , of the FueL Presbyterian Church inthis city , assisting thereat . In 1870 theRev . Thomas Sommorvillo was succeededby time Rev . S . McGregor , who laboredfaithfully for eleven years against the tideof depression , which might well have ledhim to seek for a more promising field .

In 1881 ho resigned his charge and re -

I

turned to Scotland , where ho still laborsas minister of the parish cf Appin .

i Mr . Mcfircgor was succeeded by the Rev ., R . Stephen , who entered upon the pasI torate in 1881 and resigned in 1885( . In1887 the congregation determined tounite with the Presbyterian Church inCanada , and having obtained the consentof the Colonial Committee of the Churchof Scotland , they applied to the Presby-tery

¬

of Columbia at time meeting inNovember , in Victoria , to be received ,

requesting at the anne) time that thenecessary steps bo taken towards moderating in, a call to n minister . On December8th unanimous call was given to theRev . P. McF . Macluod' , which was ac ¬

cepted by him , and) ,on the 7thof March ,

Ill just a year ago today , Mr . Macleodwas inducted into the ll\slml 1 charge of(the congregation . This first year of thepresent pastorntu has proved an eventfulone( in the history of the congregation , andthe record of the years work is attachedto this statement . The Pastor andBuilding Committee desire to record theirthankfulness to Almighty God for all themercies bestowed upon them in the pastand earnestly trust that the erection ofthis now building may bind the hearts ofthe people together and lead to now con ¬

secration in the service of the Len .

This statement , together with a copy ofoehuf: tlio city dailies , and the leadingPresbyterian journals: of the Dominionand a few current coins was then placedbeneath the corner stone .

Rev . Mr . Macleod then presented tothe Hon . John Robson the silver trowelwhich had been presented to the buildingcommittee by Lisa architect , Mr . Triinen .

IIt had) been the unanimous, wish of thecommittee that the honorable gentlemanshould perform the ceremony of layingthe corner stone , ho having taken such adeep interest in the work of erecting anow church .

The stone having been lowered intoposition the Hon . John Robson declaredthe corner stone laid in thin followingwords:

Our architect has pronounced this cor-

ner¬

stone well and truly laid , and we hopeto see erected upon it for the worship ofAlmighty GodIn edifice alike creditnblo to Presbylerianiim and the city .Pita Great Architect of the universe hasdeclared well and truly laid in Zlon! theChief Corner Stone , upon which it ishoped those worshipping in this earthlytemple we are about to raise will erect aspiritual temple which shall endure whenthose bricks shall have crumbled buck totheir native dust . "

An appropriate h'mnVlLS then sungind Rev . Macleod o1l'urodup prayer . Ashort congratulatory address was made bythe; Rev . Scoullar , of Now Westminster ,who dwelt upon the fact that exactly onepear age to the very day the Presbytery

' ImadmsieL to induct the Rev . Maclood into'I

the: pastorate of St . An rov'sland sojrcatly had the work prospered under him

II

It was now found necessary to provide in -

creased: accommodation .

The Rev . D . Fraser followedand wasgratified at the substantial growth whichlad been made during the past year in allparts of the Presbyterian work in theprovince . _

The Venerable Archdeacon Scrivon wasthe; next speaker , and related an incidentof n Church of England Bishop who , onbeing asked by Presbyterian minister tocontribute

_towards

.the .

erection! of . a now :

Kirk , " objected that it was hardly thething for a bishop of the establishedChurch to do , but was willing to give :5towards the expense of pulling down theold building . It was not necessary forhim , the speaker was glad to SIYIto usenny such equivocation in doirjj hill' part onsuch an occasion as the piusont , for nomatter how much the Churches differedin their methods of doing good , all wereaiming at the same result .

The Right Rev . Bishop Cridgo , in A

short address , congratulated Rev . Mr .Maclend and his congregation on tho stopwhich they had taken , and said that inoi-dents like the present showed how falsewas the oft-ropoatod assertion that allchurches would sooner o'r later bo turned

I into lecture hulls . ,

,

IboenI,:byII the Roy , Mr . Maclood , who also statedthat Rev . Mr , Wadman , who was present ,had not sufficiently recovered to make apublic address .

The Rev , Mr . Rugg made a few re -

marks and was followed by Mayor,Grant ,

who pointed nut that such , undertakingsas these were another evidence of the ma -

,

tonal prosperity of the city and AniiidicA-:

The Rev . Mr . Macleod then made nfew 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 thesaino kindly fooling ono towards anothermight continue .

The doxology was then sung and theRev . Mr . Mcllno pronounced the bonodiction . The interesting proceedings werebrought to an end by the band playingthe National Anthem ..
