MAY 25, 1898,

—In the House cf Commons the other day, Mr. Martin, P. E.1., asked whether the government bad been ableto do any- thing for P. E. Islaod in the matter of cold storage. Hon. Mr. Fisher said be would tell Mr. Martin in confidence that the supplementary estimates would con- tain a grant fora steamship from Char- lottetown to Great Britain. The govern- ment wee .] eady in negotiations which he hoped would lead to something. Mr. Martin said be had the same promise last year, but nothing came of it. He hoped that the government would do better this year.

—The Empire of London states that : The Spanish-American war is seriously affecting British trade. Orders given by American houses are being cancelled, owing to the stoppage of business. Thie is extremly serious to British merchants, as

special patterns are invariably made for America. Articles which please the wealthy classes of New York, Boston and Chicago do not

readily sel] in London. Thus thege goods remain on the manufacturers’ hande and must be sold at a loss. Spain suffers in its sale of expensive silks, and Germany is considerably affected. Practically, busi-~ ness in articles de luxe is at a standstill, a disastrous state of affairs for those au- merous trades which export expensive srticles to America.

~— Giadstone’s funeral will take place on Saturday next. The London correspondent of the New York Post remarks that ‘“‘so national in character is Engiand’s sorrow, that everywhereone hears expressions of personal eatisfaction that, waiving her preference for a quiet funeral! at Mr. Gladstone’s quiet Creshire home, Mrs. Gladstone has accepted the offer of a public funeral. Mr. Balfour made it almost @ personal request from himself to the Gladstone family that the nation should have this last chance of paying a fit tribute, and it ie pathetic to know that the chief relnctance of the family to accept a public funeral was due tothe desire of Mra. Gladstone to be buried at Hawarden beside her husband, whose splendid career owed so much to her tender vigilance. His body will, therefore, rest in Weat- minister Abbey, in ‘Statesmen’s Corner,’ and ia effigy as io life Mr. Gladstone will stand side by side with Peel and facing Disraeli, hia life-long political antagonist. —TLord Charles Beresford describes Mr. Cham berlain’s recent speech as “the right thing “aid in the wrong way.” Lord Beresford says that as be read it, Mr. Chamberlain's spesch asked for an alliance, and it would appear that the alliange a one with Germany; but, he added : ‘If ™*S pie speak in erigina, atid fail ie bring)

A PERILOUS TIME.

Duke vu. C..vridge on the Situation.

Lonpon, May 24.—The Duke of Cam- bridge, in taking the chair at the Hotel Cecil, at the dinner of the West London Volunteer Infantry Brigade, as Celonel- in~Chief of one of the regiments in the brigade, struck the same solemn warning note as Lord Salisbury in bis last two publie speeches,

Speaking, as he did, toa gsthering of regular malitia and volunteer officers of the home district, he created a very strong impression by saying that,as a man of nearly 80 years of age, he had no besita~ tion In saying that they were living ins very remarkable time. It was impossible to predict what the next few years or few months might produce. :

Personally, he was essentially a man of peace, but as an Englishman he was more inclined to be a man of war—not a man of war in an aggressive state. All that Eng- lishmen at this juncture required was that their neighbors (and His Keyal Highness laid strong emphasis on the word “ neigh- bors”) should be willing that we should retain the possessions we already hold in peace. Ifthey would agree to this, we would meet them amicably balf«way, but he held that, as Englishmen, we conid never give way at any pviot. “ And,” ssid His Royal Highness, ** our position, unless both the army and navy are made strong enough to keep us where we are now, will, in my opinion, be 4 very melan- choly one.” Tne Duke impressed upon the gathering the fact that even if it were sa‘istied that the pavy was adcquate, that was no reason why the three branches of the land forces should be Jeft 1» the lurch. He deprecated the policy of negl+cting the army because the navy bad been vastly increased.

ONE EFFECT OF THE WAR.

Great Activity Shown in the Canned Neat Business.

The Montreal Gazette reports that there ig Ope important industry in Montreal, at least, which is booming at the present time. The Klondike excitement, aod the Hispano~American war have bad the | efiect of stimulating the canned meat business to an unusual degree. Prices were higher, and since hostilities between Spain and the United States commeaced the industry which he carried ov had been indirecily benefited, inasmuch as nearly all the canned meats prepaied in the United States and formerly exported to tris coun-~ try, were diverted to other changels.

The exodus to the gold fields of the Klondike had also given to trade a stimex lus, as very large quantities of canned meats were required for the numerous prospectors who were leaving every day for the new Eldorado. :

a thing out straghty they ofteh deféat the obj ct the they have aie. Mr Chain tere! Jain went to ask, Lord Beresfurd under

blood, for an Anglo-German alliance,

Germany herselt being in danger of isolation, owing to the difficulties in

Austria and Italy, and he (Lerd Berseford) quite approved the idea of an Anglo-~ German alliance, which would ‘teud to the advancement of trade.’ As for an Anglo-American alliance,” his Lordship continued, “I sympathize with that idea

also; but Mr. Chamberlain seems to me premature.’ ’ The Americans, he declared, were shrewd and

suspicious, and it was not advisable that it should appear as if England was in a position of difficulty, and was suggesting an alliance for her own benefit. He hoped, however, that such an alliance would come.

—From the American point of view Mr Chamberlain’s eddress at Birmingham reems likely to have an important bearing on the outcome of the war. Henry Clews points out that “there are powerful nations which only wait for a snijtabla opportunity

victorious arms;and where the desire exists, the occasion can be provided with- out any difficulty. This is the point at which our greatest danger has centered ; and here we have sorely needed protection. Mr. Chamberlain has furnished the help at the moment when it was becoming critically urgent. His earnest declarations in favor of an Angio-Saxon alliance were nothing short of ao intimation to the Uni-~ ted States that, if they need help against European intervention, they could have it for the asking. This was a dead stop upon all schemes of intervention in pro cess Of incubation, and pats all such attempts in the category of forlorn hopes. This practical appeal from the great Englishman will not permit Ameri- cans to forget that the two nations possess common interests in progress,iu civiliza~ tion and in a broad humaniiy, and taat, by the affinity of these ties, they ought to prll togesher, With such a union would cowe the domination of the world and an end to great wars.
