Mr James O Neil and Mr John Currie authorized by the Nanaimo Courier to canvass for subscriptions, receive payments and issue receipts in the cities of Victoria and Wellington respectively. This notice confirms appointment and scope of authority for those agents in the stated regions.
The piece argues Victoria must mobilize to compete with Vancouver and other cities, noting four loan by laws totaling 170000 plus a prior 45000 loan. New Westminster shows signs of action while Nanaimo remains passive. The author forecasts regret for holdouts as rivals gain advantage from the city’s delay.
A critique of modern critics and editors in British Columbia, contrasting the sharp edge of newspaper attack with authors silent on rival press. The piece laments cross fire between writers, urges restraint, and notes Lord Tennyson’s restraint amid temptations to write again. It frames such sermons as unlikely to do much good.
Telegraph reports describe a decisive and orderly victory by Egyptian forces with English officers aiding, signaling strong morale among black troops when supported and fed by the British. The battle traffic suggests heavy Dervish losses and a clear objective to compel a chastening lesson as Britain’s policy unfolds.
The article reviews rumors about Ears Preuss and Mr. Stasney falling to Dervishes, notes lack of evidence, and discusses a telegram claiming Fars Pasua and Mr. Sranney headed to the Coast. It speculates Evry and Staxpey may still be in Arab lands, and warns that support for British troops would be needed if true.
