DOMINION EXHIBITION. trawa, Ont., Sept. 23.
There is every prospect of splendid weather for to-morrow. The exhibitors have been so slow in getting their exhibits into order that at a meeting of the Council of Arts and Agriculture Association, last evening, the advisability of having the fair extended over two weeks fer the future was considered. No furmal resolutions were passed, but the general expression of opinion was that this change would have to be made.
This morning a display of fish made by Mr. Wilmot, President of the Asseciation, arrived. Some of the samples of stuffed tish are of immense size, being from five to six feet in length.
The Dominion Grangers have pitched a tent near the Horticultural Hall.
To-morrow the fermal opening by the Governor General and Princess Louise takes place, and there is every prospect %f a great crowd. Splendid presentation badges have been prepared and thatof H. R. H. is to be closed with a valuable broach.
All day yesterday incoming trains were crowded, while to-day the rush was still greater. The northern end of the Mani- toba building is entirely occupied with the immense Dominion map which was shown at the Paris Exposition. At the southern end is a throne of scarlet cloth. On either side atthe foot are two immense buffalo heads. The canopy of the throne bears in the centre the word ‘‘Welcome,” and on either side are the accompanying words, ‘‘Lorne” and ‘‘Louise.” Still higher is the
| Provincial coat of arms, while at the very
summit is a gilt crown, etc. In front of the throne are 16 skin tents; adorned with scalps, in which is an imitation fire. The floor is covered with reed matting, and there are beds of buffalo robes.
This evening an illumination is down on the programme, but no general effort is being made.
EUROPEAN. Lonpon, Sept, 23. The Viceroy of India confirms the report that the Russian advance column of the expedition in central Asia was defeated by
the Turcomans at Geok and Tepe witha loss of 700 killed.
Vienna, Sept. 23.
Bismarck and Andrassy have made ar rangement concerning their respective taritf regulations, and means of communication between Austria and Germany.
BrvsseEts, Sept. 23.
The congress of persons interested in America opened to-day. The King of Belgium and President Blanco of Venezuela were present. Several countries were re- presented.
Weather indications from Washington : Partly cloudy weather, with occasional south-west veering to colder north-west winds; rising preceded by falling barometer.
CONDENSED DISPATCHES.
The Directors of the South Carolina Peni- tentiary on Monday, discussed the terrible death rate among the convicts hired ovt under the contract system the past year. Of 200 hired out to the Greenwood and Augus- ta Railway Co. over 100 died.
The ‘* Norwells du Tour” states that Or- ban, Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs, has gone to Rome incognito to negotiate with the Vatican respecting the attitude of the Belgian {clergy. Cardinal Nina, Papal Secretary of State, inclines to moderation, but the Jesuits are pushing matters to ex- tremes. The Belgian Bishops have asked the Pope for precise instructions, which the Pope hesitates to give. The threatened refusal of the sacraments by the Bishops to elementary school teachers who retain their posts under the new system, has so far led to the resignation of only one hundred out of 7,500 teachers. The report that Min- ister Orban has gone to the Vatican is high- ly improbable.
The conference between Bismarck and Andrassy has resulted in an agreement that the German and Austrian interests in all standing European questions are identical, and the condition of Europe is suchas will leave no doubt that the two empires will be able to assert those interests peacably.
A Berlin despatch says the nature or aim of the supposed negotiations is uncertain. The correspondent thinks there is no doubt that the expressions of certain Russian newspapers about the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovinia have contributed in a high degree to bring about the cunsolida- tion of the interests of the whole group of German speaking people, which is to be proceeding in Vienna.
Waddington’s conferences with Salisbury on the Greek and Egyptian questions are believed to have been very satisfactory.
The French Minister of Justice has. or- dered proceedings to be taken against a judge of Toulouse for proposing the health of the king at a legitimist banquet.
The Paris correspondent of the Times says:—‘‘On both of the main peints which induced the interview between Salisbury and Waddington—the Greek and Egyptian questions—the understanding between the two Powers is complete. As to the plans attributed to Austria, Germany and Russia, it is naturally held that neither France nor
d has to pay much attention to them or modify in any way the policy they are pursuing. Bismarck’s visit to An y

Farming in Nova Scotia.
One of the best effects of the ‘‘hard times” in trade is the renewed impulse given thereby to agriculture. Farming, says the Digby Courier, is beginning to at- tract the attention not only of the working classes, but even the leaders of society. Amidst all the fluctuations of the times, farmers are seen to be the oniy independ- ent class of men who—whilst business men are trembling on the brink of ruin, or forced in approaching old age to forsake the com- forts of home and begin life anew—can, with God’s blessing, find all the necessaries and many of the luxuries of life, without risk or mental anxiety, in the produce of their own broad acres. And ‘“‘the sleep of the laboring man is sweet.” Driven by commercial disaster, many energetic and highly inteiligent men formerly doing busi- ness in Liverpool, have betaken themselves to the northern district of Queens County. Wheat and other cereals are now raised in that county, of exceilent quality and in largely increased quantities. Attention is beginning to be turned to stock raising, which in a county like Queen’s, abounding in wild meadows with adjacent fertile hills for the production of roots, is capable of great roots,

Terms of Peace in South Africa.
A copy of the terms of peace proposed by the British in South Africa has been pub- lished. According to the proposed treaty, the chiefs undertake to forego the import- ing of arms from any quarter whatsoever, and the importation of merchandise from the sea coast is also forbidden ; the making of war and succession to the chieftianship will be subject to the approval of the When British sub- jects are accused of crimes, trial and sen- tence will depend on the Resident’s ap- proval. ‘The alienation of land will be ab- solutely forbidden in all respects. These chiefs will be sovereigns, each in his own territory. A chief will not be compelled to — admit missionaries, and the prohibition of alienation of land will not be relaxed in favor of grants to missionaries. British residents will be instructed to advise the chiefs, but toexercise no authority over them. If the chiefs disregard the terms of of agreement, the Residents will report their conduct, but will have no power to
ive orders. The course ef the White
mulycosi river from the Kambula moun- tains to the sea will divide the northern from the southern residency divisions. Meny chiefs receiving territories are repre- sentatives of ancient tribes wh» were sub- jugated by the Zulus, and they rejoice at the recovery of their independence.

French Commerce.
The total value of the foreign trade of France for the first six menths of 1879 is estimated at 3,762,962,000f, including 2,- 232,468,000f in imports and '1,530,494,000f in exports, or an excess of imports over ex- ports to the value of 701,974,000f. Com- pared with the corresponding period of last year, the present return shows an increase of 935,495,000f in the imports, and of 16,- 581,000f in the exports. In the first half of 1878 the value of the food imported was 541,500,000f. This item increased to 922,- 500,000f in the first half of the present year. The imports of raw materials for manufactures have increased by 3,500,000f. ~ In wines the imports had increased in value from 25,000,000f in the first half of 1878 to 45,000,000f in the corresponding period this year; while the exports of French manufactures have also increased to the extent of 19,000,000f in the same period. .
