It. Twenty years asn it was a snitiil,
isolated settlement, isolated for a hun

the Hudson's Hay company post of
Fort dairy, hundreds of miles from

years to the proud position of one of
the ten radiating railroads, which

The nai:;atioti of the Red river,

thousands of miles of Important coast

other city in the world. Jt supplies
largely all the poods consumed between
the Ued river and the Kooky lloim
talns. Kew places have found such
speedy recognition since the advent of
the Canadian Pacific railway; In fact,
this prairie city has distanced nil rec
ords of booming towns.
Its positive pre-eminence Is yearly
liecominff more pronounced and com
manding and today no other cliy in
America Is attracting more attention
annum capitalists und settlers, while

points or the trans-continental trip. It
is the seat of Kovernment of the Key
stone province of the Dominion and
also the center of the political, social,
literary, monetary and manufacturing
world of the Dominion of the Cumuli in
west, and the fountain head of the edu
cational institutions of not only Mani
toba, but the whole northwest. One
say-:: "Wliinipr-j Is the grout mart of
it country of nearly 2,000,000 ncrcs of
rich territory, and one of the leading
trade renters of Hie continent"
A HEALTHFUL CITY.
Ilecaiise of the flatncsi of the plains
nil which the city stands Winnipeg Is
not a "pretty city," but whin Is better,
there is scarcely a more healthful city
on the continent. The plainness is be
ing removed, however, by a judicious
planting of trees and boulevarding of
streets, which greatly transforms the
flat appearance of the town. The city
is substantially built, superior hrlck
find stone being available. The streets
lire all wile and well laid out and
named on a numerical system. Main
street, several milog long, is 1112 feet
wide and one of the finest in America,
quite remindful of Kurlld avenue of
Cleveland; but all this space is required
for the street railways and the continu
ous stream of trallic along It. There
tire both elsctrin and horse cars In use.
Winnipeg has ninny substantial
buildings worthy of special mention.
Especially .noticeable were the elegant
residences and Immense public build
ings In closit proximity to the primitive
hut. and small buildings dating back
to the early village days, also remind
ful of American cities which havo
grown up like magic.
Armed with letters of introduction
from (Jenoral , Kastern Agent K. V.
Fklnner, of New York, and Charles N.
Hell, secretary .of the board of trade of
Winnipeg, (to the latter we are indebt
ed for valuable Information), we rode
and strolled ovir this entire prairie
city during our four days' sojourn, and
Visited the New Provincial parliament
buildings, St. John's (Kplseopal) Col
lege, Manitoba Medlcll College, Lieu
tenant Coventor Sir ,'nhn Kchurtz at
his residence and groends. Provincial
Deaf and Dumb Institute, City Hos
pital, City Hall, Court I Wise and Pro
vincial jail, also Hoard o,T Trade, Grain
Kxchutige, public markets, and on
Sunday the principal churches, which
comprise among the mo ft Imposing
buildings of the city; also Kim and
Imrferin parks, the hea!th--glvitig and
pleasure grounds of the clt.V, of all of
which J will speak later.
FINE HOTELS.
Among the numerous hotels the- Mani
toba nnd the Leland are the most
prominent, both seven-story structures
of which Wlnnlpeggcrs are justly
proud, and structures which would
grace any city of any size on th? Ameri
can continent. The Manitoba 1.3 owned
by the Northern Pacific Railroad oom
rany and striking as Is the appear; '.nee
of the hotel and depot from me i n't
side. the Interior is stlh well wor thy
of praise. The depot platform and iin
trance Is 200 feet long. Connected wi th
the hotel are the general otllces of t be
Northern Pacific Railroad company, be
sides the commodious waiting roorrti
baggage, freight and tickets otllces. L'.
Is a magnlilci-nt structure of 210 feet
frontage on Main street, with a ro
tunda of 40 by DO feet. The dining room
Is 50 by o feet, with a 2fi-foot celling.
The structure Is heated by steam,
lighted by electricity, and has every
possible modern Improvement. The
cuisine Is all that could be desired.
Even an epicure could find no fault.
The rates are from $3 to $7 per day. and
under the management of Fred W.
Sprado und his able corps of assistants
we found It equal In every respect to
e. iiy hostelry along the l.ne of this
great national highway.
PIIOSPKHOVS HANKS.
Terhaps the best index to the pros
perity of a city may be the number of
financial Institutions within lis limits,
together with Its churches and other
public buildings, its wholesale and re-
tail stores, its factoiies, its car shops,
elevators, tic. Winnipeg has eleven
chariered banks with u capital of forty-five
millions, also all the principal
loan companies la Kavtein Canada are
here represented. If there is one thing
more than another that the eith'.ens of
Winnipeg are proud of, it is the excep
tional excellence of their store houses
and f-hops, from the commodious es
tablishments f the Hiid.-on's Hay com
pany to the Indian Haznur. where are
found ail kinds of historical it lies and
curios. Here this powerful mercantile
corporation (Hudson's iuiy company)
instead of exchanging beads and paint
with Indian trappers, displays the lat
est fashions in plate ylass show win
dows and maintains a general store for
city iRids.
There Mores are Interesting nnd the
hNfory of their early trading is the
connecting link between the past and
present. They impress one on enter
ing as a combined government build
ing and wholesale establishment, well
worthy the reiiow n of the eonipai.y and
the city. Here aie eighty w lioUs.ile
houses with n capil.il of ten millions,
nnd with annual sales of $J,"i ici't.iirti).
liire are 1 went v-sven churches repre
senting the various religious il. no ni
nations, many of I hem verv imposing
cillllc-s. Winnipeg is the seat of gov
ernment and of tile law courts of Mani
toba, and hero are located thi Domini
on govt ii'iiient savings bank, thn Do
minion o.'iic,'!' lor the province, and
the heai!o!i.i iters of and chief post f
the IliTil-ion's t'oy company, which sup
plies ail outlying outposts "Xieniliog
i veil to the Arctic ocean. Tile niMII
nry power Is represented bv the tioop
of Canadian dragoons, stationed at
Fort Osborne in the city nnd it is
f. lso tho headquarters of the military
district and of a number of military
cei ps.
THE CttAIN TIIADE.
The grain business is necessarily on"
of the lirst m.igiiilnde. Nearly fven-ly-thii
ii.illion bushels of w heat were
Inspected and exported in ISM, and in
lMi." Kl.TTn.lW bushels. As a natural
complement to this, is the milling in
dustry. Here in Winnipeg and tribu
tary territory nre thirty-six roller mills
with a daily capacity of eight thous
and barrels am! in addition, as the
headquarters of the Western division
of the Canadian Pacific railway, live
are over two hundred elevators, with
a capacity of tipwa1-ds of seven million
bushels, radiating from this trade cen
ter. The car shops, freight sheds, land
oflices, purchasing and other depart
ments of tills division are also located
at Win ni peg. and to crown all the
Canadian Pacific railway are erecting
a e.iiat "sorting elevator" of the cap
acity of one million bushels to facili
tate the handling of grain. As may be
easily imagined an army of twelve
hundred nu n lire cmpk-ynl by the rail
way in the town and a fair idea of the
magnitude of tlv. Canadian Pacilic
railway Interests may be gathered
when the reader learns that there are
fmm tweuly to thirty miles of siding
in the train yards In use constantly.
Some ten Canadian Pacific railway
lines radiate In all directions, two
brunches leading southward on either
r ide of the Ked rivi r to Emerson and
'.iretiia on the 1'iiiled States boundary,
and connecting with the Croat North
ern railway. Two branches go south
west into Southern Manitoba respect
ively :,!) and 221 miles distant, and
two branches run north and northwe st
into the Hudson's Pay country, beside
the old Hudson's Pay railway to Sho
Kil lake, which is not operated. The
.Manitoba division of the Northern Pa
cific railway extends southward to
Winnipeg Junction miles on the
main line.
OWNERS OF TIIE TOWN.
This great domain "The Canadian
Northwest" Is owned mainly by the
Dominion government, the Canadian
Pacilic railway und the Hudson's Hay
company. The Canadian Pacilic rail
way and the government ow n u bi It of
land twenty-four miles wide on each
side of the railroad between Winnipeg
and the Kocky mountains. Those sec
tions in the belt numbered even belong
to the government and thp odd num
bered sections to the Canadian Pacific
railroad, liona fide settlers on either
section can secure tin in for a few shil
lings per acre for mo or more acres,
and when certain easy conditons are
tilled, letters patent are granted. Tno
Hudson's Hay company, that mysteri
ous power that for nearly two centuries
has held dominion over a large part
of North America, still own about one
twentieth of the fertile lands of Mani
toba and tlie Canadian Northwest, in
all some seven million acres. Their
lands represent sections clghtnnd twenty-six
in each township and they have
town lots in every important town in
the country. Wherever tlie traveler or
settler goes, he finds the Hudson's Hay
stores the earliest pioneers distribut
ed throughout the whole region. This
company sells, leases, or rents its lands
on favorable terms, or it Rives immedi
ate employment to all hunters and
trappers who do not care to settle any
where. The settler may take up u
wheat, an oat, or a rye or flax claim,
or raise horses and cattle; he may lum
ber, or tan leather, or mine coal. What
ever his choice, he will find 7::,0HO square
miles in Manitoba. H".000 gquure miles
in Assiniboia, and loo.ono In Alberta,
122.IHI0 square miles In Athabaska, be
sides the coast tract of Saskatchewan,
of 114.U0O square miles, to select from
now for sale by these powerful corpora
tions. Ther are forty-six factories of differ
ent kinds in Winnipeg, and with the
cheap and abundant Knurls coal, near
at hand, and the utilizing of the wast
ed water power of the Assisiniboine
river, there seems to be no reason why
this prairie city cannot cope with any
of the western cities as a manufactur
ing center. Colonel Fanning, of Min
neapolis, an engineer of hisrh r put i
Hon, says: "The inducements for
Winnipeg to m ike itself a great manu
facturing center seem very great
through the dv. lopment of its great
water power which amounts to lo.omj
horsepower, now wasted by the Asslni
boine liver."
PT'RLIC SCHOOLS.
Recognizing the advantages of edu
cation the citizens of Winnipeg have
spared neither time nor money on tlie
attainment of the highest standard of
etliciency In their school system. The
public schools of the province are na
tional In character, recognizing no class
nor distinction of any kind. In the
city are sixteen admirable schools, free
and of a high standard, under seventy
eight of the most skillful instructors,
with accommodations for fi.ooo pupils.
The school board appropriates about
J200.00D annually to maintain them.
The Dominion government hns set
apart one-eighteenth part of all the
lantl of the province, the revenue of
which goes for public school purposes.
Tlie Provisional government makes an
nual appropriations of one-fourth of
Its entire revenue for school purpops.
The bnlance of the cost is divided be
tween the school district and the mu
nicipality. Winnipeg has a system
where there Is no break between the
primary department of the public
school and the possibility of university
graduation. Aside from tho public
schools there are four colleges feder
ated under a government university
and also private academies.
ITS RELIOTOl'S LIFE.
Any do--ct!rthn of fhe city of Win
nipeg which did not Include a refer-
iiice to its church nnd rellgioun life
f.nd Institutions would he veiy Incom
plete. Winnipeg has as good a claim
to the title of "the citjof churches" as
any city on the com h tent. It literally
abound.- with hamlsoin f church edifices
mid religious institutb ns it-presenting
almost every shade of belief, twenty
seven in all. Tlie Chuivh of England
leads the number in biHh church ed
ifices and membership. Jt has besides
St. John's cathedral, six 'churches and
several missions. Tl? 1'iesbyterlan
Is a close second with svx self-supporting
congregations and (three missions.
The Mi Ihoilists also hui'e six. and the
baptist have two strong churches and
several missions. The first to enter
this treat lone land was the Romun
Catholic chuich in J ,;'G. :im! it has two
large congregations within the city
limits und across the Kitd river is the
Roman Catholic cathidia I. St. Roniface.
in tho French town St. .P.onifaee, to
gether with the otlicial ; residence of
Archbishop Fache (the 'head of the
Roman Catholic chuich iJi the north
wist) and several import. int denomin
ational schools. Winnipi'S has suc
ceeded In attract ins several thousand
Icelanders, and the greater part of
these are Lutheran in creeil. All these
forms of Christianity are f '.mini work
ing side by side, und on the whole in
a spirit of lrleiullines;-, lor i;b re is much
in unite people In the rommon ex
periences of life in a neiv in ml.
Whether from convict in h or habit,
the Winnii'.eggers are careful in their
attendance at divine servieeVand in the
suppoit of the church of t.ielr choice,
and their Sunday schools. I All their
churches were well filled. Li'le Victoria
and Toronto there is no i tinning of
street cars on Sunday and 'tehicles of
any kind are seldom seen, Ind while
the Lord's day was one of cheerfulness
it was without dissipation. A stranger
can but notice ami be gialitll'd at the
spectacle of so large ti number ot quiet.
coinfortal.de homes and such Jn army
of church going people. A mole order
ly population, or ti more civil one,
cannot lie lound. There was no-drunkenness
nor disorder! and all class s were
quiet, intelligent, respectful mul civil.
Tlie liquor law is rigidly enforced.
The saloon, the daiice-liouse. the (tumb
ling hell are conspicuous by thiir ub
seiice. It Is surely not an unr tiison
aMo inference that it is larrrel ) be
cause the church is u; that the
shady institutions are down. Vi'ould
thut the same micht be said of Ajnier
ican cities.
PLEASURE RESORTS.
Pleasure, resorts are numerous in nnd
around Winnipeg. Aside from the
numeious lakes and lake scenery with
in a radius of twenty-five miles, thfie
are a dozen camping grounds urd nat
ural parks nlons the banks of the Rid
and Assinboine rivers, where the pic
nic parties and campers can revel In
enjoyment. Those are reached by
steamboat and electric cars. A thre?
miles' sail up the Red river brines the
set Iter for rest and pleasure to "Elm
Park," and five miles down the same"
river brings him to "Frazer Grove,"
beauty spots unsurpassed. A rustic
pontoon bridge spans the Red river
here a slow sluggish stream peering
Its way northward to the Hudson's
Pay and Arctic Ocean.
Winnipeg is mnking rapid strides af
ter tlie reaction from the boom of lWt
and no one can limit the possibilities
of tirowth and development even in
the near future. While today it is con
ceded to lie the leading grain market
In the dominion, Winnipeg has moral,
social and religious elements of gen
uine and generous prosperity. The
immense resources tributary to It, tlie
extraordinary railroad service, the un
limited water power. Its advan
tages as the capital of the Keystone
Province of the Dominion, and the busi
ness push and aggressive spirit of its
citizens are a suiiiclcnt guarantee of
permanency and prosperity.

doubtless Included niiiiiy presents received
by tho envoy In the course of his visits
to the courts of Europe; indeed, his pres
ents from Queen Victoria alone are said
to have amounted lo nearly 0.0uO In value,
the amount estimated to be the value of
the gifts sent by the emperor of China to
tho queen. It took something more than
an hour to transfer all this baggage
through the after starboard deck port of
tho Empress to the Kwung Lee. After
the task was accomplished, about 4.)
o'clock, his Excellency prepared to follow.
MET UY HIS SON.
After donning his hut, he was assisted
bv iwo members of his suite Into a sedan
chair, which was brought to the door c.f
his cabin, und he was then carrk-ed by
four stalwart sailors of the Empress, as
sisted by some Chinese bearers, down the
sail way onto tho main deck and through
the ihvk port on the Kwang Lee, where
he was received by his son, LI ChlilK-mal,
Captain Wallace, Mr. Pethick and others,
und conducted to his quarters. Tho whole
of the arrangements during the recep

man to the KwaiiR l,ee vvre admirably
conducted hy Captain Archibald and Mr.
Payne, agent of the Canadian Pacific
railroad, who was Inilefatlsablo In his ef
forts for the comfort of the august pas
senger. Kitting the afternoon u display
of day fireworks was made from a lighter
tower by a launch around the ship, while
a band on board the lighter enlivened the
affair with mush;. These attentions were
we understand, provided in honor of LI
Hung Chang by the Japanese Traders'
Guild.
At 9 o'clock la night the Kwang Lee
left the harbor for Tientsin. Doubtless
had the Empress of China arrived In port
this morning, as hud been expected, in
stead of yesterday, a number of officials
would huve been down from Tokio to ex
change greeting Wiln the envov. and a
salute would have been tired In his honor.
Hut Captain Archibald appears to have
decided to let his distinguished passenger
see what all Empress boat could do, aril
