Across the border the great event of the year was the World’s Fair at Chicago. So much has been written upon this subject that we now only note here the triumphs won by our Dominion in practically every department in which she competed. It ia diffcult to estimate the advantage gained by the very high position which we have secured inevery department of dairy and agricultnral products, while our resources in lumber, minerals and fisheries have been most extensively advertized. Un- questionably the attention of the best class of emigrants must be turned toward Can- ada as one result of the stand which the Dominion was able to take in this great exposition of the resources of the nations.

Among the victories of peace may also be noticed the opening of the Imperial Institute in London by the Queen in May last, a step which will give the various colonies and dependencies of her great empire a central bond of union in the capital eity. Under that head, too, should come the yachting contest between the Vigilant and Valkyrie for the American cup. In this struggle the United States was again victorious after a hard fight; but, for seamanship and skill the British crew, the Americans themselves being judges, fairly carried off the palm.

Turning more particularly to the old lands, we find at the very beginning of the year the Khedive of Egypt, backed by in- triguers of France, Turkey and Russia‘ became restive under English control, and diamivsed his ministry, replacing them with anti-Britixh sympathizers. The firmness of Lord Rosebery in the Foreign Office averted what might have been a catastrophe, and the Khedive on receiving Britain’s ultimatum cancelled his ol noxions appointments. In February, Mr. Gladstone’s long expected Home Rule Bill made its appearance, and after desperate and continuous opposition finally passed ite third reading in September and was sent up tothe House of Lords where it received a short shrift, being despatched by the tremendous vote of 428 to 42. The Radical press raised some furious bow)s

visitors. The remarkable feature of the affair was the quantity of tears shed by the Russian Admiral, who is said to have been chosen for this visit because of his ten- len y to weep on all occasions. The out- come was the offer by France of a naval station on the Mediterranean to Russia,

which was declined because the Russian Admiral could not answer for the loyalty of his men if exposed to a repetition of the blandishments of the French people. It is evident sentiment still plays a part in politics in France.

Germany had its troubles over the Army Bill, which finally passed by a majority of 16, after the

queathed to his successor a legacy of com- plications in the Sandwich Islands, where the Queen was dethroned and a republic established largely through the influence of the American Minister. President Cleveland has done bis best to establish the status quo; but so far his efforts have not been successful, and it seems not un- likely that the end may be a republic under American protection. In the state elections in November the Republican party made large gains; but it is difficult to estimate the exact meaning of tlie change. The Tariff Committee are wrest- ling with changes in the direction of lower duties and considerable additions to the free list. Should they be able to carry out their plans, it will be of advantage to the Dominion, as wel] as to the States themselves ; but in the face of a deficit in the revenue and strong opposition not only on the part of the Republicans, but also of many of their own party, it is difficult to predict in what shape the Bill will reach the hands of the President.

Among the various republics from Mex- ico south almost to Cape Horn, there has been fully the average annual alowance of revolutions, ete. Brazil has suffered specially from this cause, the capital, Rio, having been bombarded more than once. It is difficult at present to give the exact state of matteis, but the advantage appears to be on the side of the revolutionists, who are credited, in some quarters, with a design to restore the monarchy.

The past year was a disastrous one in Australia. Early in the year floods did an immense amount of damage, and later a tinancial collapse swept away bank after bank. It is stated that the losses fall most severely upon English and Scotch invest- ore, whose capital has vanished. At pre- sent trade seems to be reviving, and the outlook is hopeful.
