C. utliister teams for the British Columbia championship to take place, the Royal City correspondent of the Vancouver Province says: "Those who were bargaining on seeing a good game of Association football between the local juulor aggregation aud the North Ward team, ot Victoria, on Good Friday, met with disappointment, as owing to the failure of the Victoria team to put lu an appearauce the game had to be cancelled.

The New Westminster team had already been chosen, aud Inasmuch as this city ha no regular team, the promoters of this end of the game had goue to a good deal of trouble to get the men together, aud there was much serenes among the players, uiauy of whom had made other plaus for the day, when at 12 o'clock a telegram came aunouuelug that Victoria had been unable to get a team together, and Would not be on hand at Moody square at the time appoluted. It was the opinion of the players that the Victoria lucn might at least have let them know they were -not coming on the previous evening, Instead of waiting until an hour before the time set for the game. The game which the same team was to have played In Vancouver on Mouday was also off." Discussing the matter loat evening, Principal Talt, of the North Ward school, expressed considerable surprise that those Interested In the arrangement of these matches should circulate such statements of the reasons leading to the postponement of the games. He says that hi eleven was ready and anxious to make the trip to the Mainland In quest of further honor on the day before Good Friday. The intention was to visit Wesynlnstcr on the afternoon of Friday, playing with the Royal City team, and on the morning of Saturday meet the Vancouver team on their own grounds.

This would have enabled them to leave for Victoria at noon by the steamer Princess Victoria. Mr. Talt held the boya together uutil the last minute, but when no word was received from either the Terminal or Royal Cltli announcing that these arrangements were satisfactory. It was thought the suggestion had been abandoned by those Interested on the Mainland. The players, therefore, were allowed to disperse.

To all intents and purpose the history of the typewriter industry of the United States constitutes the history of the tye-writer industry of the world, for up to the present time oniy two other countries (ieruinny and Canada are manufacturing writing iimchines worthy of the name, and these, by tho ay, were originally invented by an Amcricau. In making this statement wo are not Ignoring; the fact that during the past two years certain companies havo been established iu this country for the purpose of manufacturing typewriters, which are now being Introduced to the public, and which promise to compete successfully with the American machines.

Many volumes could bo written concerning the early struggles of the typewriter, which in its infnncy labored under very exceptional difficulties. The greatest obstacle to be overcome was undoubtedly popular prejtiiice against the innovation, it being one of those Immutable laws of human nature that the degree of prejulice against an invention is Invariably in direct ratio to its novelty. The typewriter consequently encountered Ihe stiibboruest opposition. Its great novelty was, however, not its only drawback. Another deterrent factor was, and always has been, its great price, $100.

Then, again, the machine required to be learnt; and only after considerable practice could anyone become a proficient 0erator. The problem, therefore, resolved Itself into this: How to get the public to pay fl'O for the privilege of experimenting with a new writing machine, which not only ro)tred skilled lalior to operate, hut, in those days, no little expense to keep in working order. Without doubt tho greatest testimony which could be adduced in support of the real value of this wonderful invention lies In the fact that it has lived despite these disadvantages, and not only lived hut prospered exceedingly. There is now scarcely a country in the world where typewriters are not nsed, and where they are not being used In increasing numbers, not-withstanding their price. Probably the most interesting thing about a typewriter to-day is its price, and how it comes that while standardization and Increased economy in manufacture in various other respects have resulted.

In the last ten years, in a very considerable reduction In the cost of almost every kind of machine (as, for example, hirrclr. which have come down from over i0 to nnd'T t. and sewing machines, which have also been considerably reduced in price during the same period), the typewriter snouia still cost what it commanded twenty yenrs ago. Though Ihe generally are not aware of the fart, we are divulging no great secret in that the cost of nmiivfncture of the lend-irg American writing machines fr Whun we pay 122 (usunllr 5 nor cent discount) is not 'more than II. Many machines are manufactured for even less than this, notwithstanding that they are made in a conntry where wages are coin-parntively high.

The explanation is. of course, the existence of an agreement between five of the. principal companies, not to sell low the price mentioned, Jingnziue of Commerce. THE RUSSIAN SECRET PRESS. i.u.ior M-iiioin turn Place Where Paper Is Produced.

The Russian clandestine press Is clnn-destbe everything. It is the most secretly conducted pre In the World. I hero is no editorial office, with an editor in a snug inner chamber, receiving the visits his contributors, discussing the articles for the next issue. A mystery ami Inviolate ecrecr govern the "whole working of the nfTair. The editor him-self may or mny lmt know the persons who are responsible for tho mechanical production of the paper; he seldom, If ever, knows the place nt which it is produced.

A confidential messenger comes to a given spot on a given day to receive, ninntiscripts from the, editor's hand; ho comes again to deliver the proofs; and the rendezvous is never twice the same. The contributors are known probably to none except th editor. In word, precautious, the most minute and extraordinary, must be observed if lh secret press is successfully to bnfllc the everlasting efforts of tlie police to nnmnsk If. Stepiiink tells us that during the time he was one of the editors of "Land and Liberty" he was taken once, and nncn nulv. to the printing office.

An Important piece of news had to lie Inserted In the number thnt was about to be Issued, and be ti'iulc his way to the office. "In one of fl.e central streets of the citv." Tho chief of police had declared flint this office could not possibly be In St. Petersburg, "because he would Infallibly have discovered it." Stepniak found the people of the office, and the women who helped them and managed for them, living In almost absolute durance. "I was assailed by profound melancholy," he fays, "at flic sk'ht pf all these people. Involuntarily I compared their terribto life with my own, nod felt overcome with shame, VA'bnt wrts nr Activity in the broad light of dny, amid the Sporting News.

In its account of the proceedings, the New Westminster Columbian aays: "Matches have already been arranged with Vancouver, Victoria and Garrison. More matches will be arranged later. The first match hi re will be played on Victoria Day. "From thVgencral trend of the various remark. and discussion, It was Very evident the club Is not only prospering, but ha an i ntliuslastlc membership, and the cmlng season should see a veritable revival of the got.d old game." iMnn ATiosTwrn I'M Oil CHAMPIONSHIP.

Referring to the failure of the proposed matches; between the North Ward Juniors, pf this city, and Vancouver and New West- mm M. Siuitos-Pumont is at this moment building an airship which Is to be as great an advance on his "No. 7" and "No. 0," as those machines were upon all previous attempts to solve tho problem of aerial navigation. His new ship, which is to astonish the world In tho coming summer, is nothing less than a flying houseboat, navigable, as his other nirhips arc.

The vessel, which he calls an aerial yacht, is to lodge, feed and keep warm tho Inventor and his friends on pleasure cruises, that may extend over a week or even over lit) days, without once being driven to the earth. This last point 1 the great discovery. "The balloon envelope of this aerial yacht." says M. Santos-Dumont, "is being sewed; its boiler and condenser are being cortstnictisl; its motor is ordered; its propellers exist; and very soon ihe aerial yacht will start on Its jinal cruise. Iu appearance it will more resemble the preconceived idea of a twentieth century airship than anything heretofore produced." llcnenth an egg-shaped balloon, slightly less elongated than the balloon of the inventor's famous "No.

0" airship, will hang what looks like a little house with a balcony window running half its length on each side. The balcony window belong to the open or observation room of the floating house or car, wherein the motor will have its place. Ilehind it Is a closed sleeping room, containing two cot beds. In front is a boiler which, besides warming the sleeping compartment and supplying heat for cooking is the secret of the air-yacht' power to keep afloat for a long time without replenishing gas or ballast. To keep the heat in.

the closed car Is made of a framework of fine aluminum ami piano wire lightly covered with vnruislied balloon silk of many thicknesses. M. Santos-Puniont explains his new invention in the Fortnightly Review. The world's record for a balloon ascent, he points out. is under lit! hours; few balloon can stay more than -1 hours in the air.

This is due to the alternate waste of ballast and of gu- Heated by the sun, the gas expands, the balloon shoots up too high, and gas has to be sacrificed to bring it down; chilled by a cloud, the gas shrinks, the balloon and ballast has to be. thrown onL M. I turnout's plan is to keep the gas at the proper temperature by means of the heat from hermetically sealed aluminium steampipes, ful from the boiler, and traversing the gas bag of the balloon. The steam rond-nsc in the pipes, and the water can be used again and again. M.

Dumotit calculates that he cau get from one kilogramme of petroleum used as fuel fir the boiler as much ascensional force as from kilogrammes of ballast thrown overboard. That is to say. can stay up 3U times as long as an ordinary balloon. In a dirigible airship of this type, with its staying power, he sees no difficulty In bringing a Polar expedition to a successful close. There is provision alike agninst the danger of cold to the passengers and of the condnisation of the gas.

He goes further. He claims that ami not mines are largely responsible for the destruction of Russian warshi a rout Port Arthur. "The sub-marine boat has for the moment distanced the airship, but in the end it is the airship that is the master. "Tae submarine boats can do no harm to the airship, while the latter can discover the submarine's pr-enee, hurl down on it long arrows filled with explosives and capable of penetrating the waves, to depths impossible to gunnery from the deck of nn-n-of-war or cruisers." The aerial war cruiser of the future, ho says, will le -liO metre long, metre ilinmeler, propelled by 30 propellers with 3.0H.I horse-power, will have a gas rapacity of cubic metres, a lifting power of Ui tons, and a speed vl VH) kilometres an hour.
