A BETTER LAND.
FROM UIST TO ALBERTA. [By Electric Cable—Copyright,} [Aust nnd N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Monday 7 p.m.) LONDON, March 30. Amid tears and lamentations, the male relatives of three hundred women and children emigrated from the lonely barren isle of Uist, of the Outer Hebrides, for Alberta, Canada, where houses await them among their fellow countrymen. Fishing, corn and potato crops and peat gathering have been a failure at Uist owing to storms and continuous rains and the inhabitants have been reduced to the utmost poverty. The CanadianPacific Company sent the 10,000 ton liner Marloch to the uncharted waters of Loch Boisdale to embark the emigrants.
