This was an evident necessity u. The traders and other residents of the North Como annually to they do not pass within u Hundred i silos of fort Telly. Learn with regret that recent legislation at Ottawa has us routed the j Ower of the of Manitoba to Grant permits running into Tho North West territories. Siu a can now Only be granted by Tho of Tho by of liners appointed by him. To ha.-, no Power to appoint such Oruc irs out of his jurisdiction in Manitoba it becomes practically impossible in most for the traders and others to obtain permits. The Ichii twill inevitably be that liquor will be taken surreptitiously into the territories in quantitie.-. We learn on enquiry that permits for the District of Keewatin Are granted by the governor of Manitoba., who is m of that District. _ Tiia when few weeks ago the City coun cil refused to Tho use of to City Hall for a company of volunteers to Drill in to Colt disposed to concur in the opinion entertained by the majority of the aldermen that the building was not Strong enough to stand Trio vibration that would result from thirty or for a 1.1011 in arching in step. Some people nun Fly Strong Aslo the Accident that might result from til to or Muty couples dancing in the Hall though others professed to believe that this would not subject the Structure to so severe a Strain As the fewer numbers Watzki Ritj in step. The whole history of the building is such As to throw serious doubt upon its capability of standing either test w the absolute safety. It is that the Cement foundation never properly solidified that shortly after Tho completion of Trio Struc Ture the pier. Supporting the Central Wall crumbled Ami that notwithstanding the erection of supplementary props Large cracks appeared in different parts of the building. The latter suspicious signs of something wrong with Tho foundations arc a iv4 w Tii next to Ien. Grant the lion of London society at present is synd Yakoob Khan tora ambassador to Tho court of St. James from Tho Meov Oktis Gharia. The Ambas Sador is described As a handsome Man and a courtier and a not strict observer of Tho Mohammedan code in regard to eating and drinking so that to promises to become a pleasant guest at club and private dinner tables Llis appear Iauco just now is duo to the War Between Ami Turkey. Kash Gharia is one of to Litho countries that lie in Tho direct path of the russians on their Way to Tho Frontier of British India. It is Well defended by the mountains that enclose it and would prove a formidable obstacle for an Onomy As powerful oven As Kussin Over come. The Hussion have already Como in Contact with the Kashgar a and by a threat of invasion secured from Tho Ameer a treaty of Commerce Between Trio two countries. When the treaty with Kus Siaus completed the Ameer sent synd Yakoob Khan tora to Calcutta to close a treaty with Tho British on the same terms As those granted to Iii shia. The in India strongly advised Kus Gharia to remain Friendly with Russia and 1 Ukia All its treaty obligations. The Ameer has consistently done so but now that Turkey and Russia Are at War and eng land is openly with the Sultan Tho Ameer of Kas Gharia thinks it advisable to Send his ambassador direct to Tho English court to watch events and advisor his master who represents a vast and increasing inter est in that Distant country the resources and value of which Are so Little understood by the world at Largo.

Then flu visors in the main Hall wide tracks have opened out in Tho flooring a new one fully an Inch wide having Niido its appearance since easter. Now what can u is mean but that the Walls Are bulging outwards v since the signs of Clanger first appealed the foundations have been subjected to two Nunda overflow of the rid Jubenv. Coulie. Tho flooding i will surely not Tiu to increase the safety of the building and if previous to their occurrence Tho Hall was deemed unsafe for the volunteers to Drill in what must be its condition now we do not undertake to assert positively that from these causes the admitted a d palpable Haws in the building have been intensified but they certainly have not contrib used to ensure the stability of the Structure. At any rate before another gathering is permitted to take place we can but urge in the strongest manner on the pub Lic that the building be surveyed and re ported on by a commission of and engineers. Unless it be Deli red by competent professional men that the Structure is Safe no one who is prudent will now von Ture to attend any Large gathering on the premises. A glance at the ugly cracks apparent in several parts of the , notably near the North West Corner of edifice should to sufficient to deter any person with Ordinary perspicacity from placing him self in unnecessary danger. In the mean time so that the unwary and thoughtless not have the Chance of exposing them selves to risk we hold that it the duty of Tho City Council to refuse the use of the Hall for any Large gathering of persons. Tho not improbable contingency of the fall of the Walls and roof when Tho room is occupied by such a Large audience As occasionally attends concerts in Winnipeg is a catastrophe appalling to contemplate. There is scarcely a family in the City that would not have to go into mourning and in sovino oases entire households would meet with destruction. The matter is too serious to trifle with and the responsibility rests upon the Council to do what is humane and prudent to Avert a shocking calamity. Puled at Winnipeg Ali Day of May 1s77.
