GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE.

Tue exemies of Great Britain have been striviag to foment a quarrel with France on account of some “ line-fence” dieputes The effort is Great Britaia and France

out in Africa. not likely to

be successful. have adopted the reasonable and vroper alternative of appointing a jvint commis- sion to investigate and settle the matter. Neither country can very well afford to go to war with the other for the sake of a few acres of territory amid the wilds of Africa. France bas much to lose in a quarrel with Great Britain. England is ber principal customer. The French exports to England during 1397 will approximate 1,118,000 ,000 , francs; her imports during the same period will be about 500,000,009 francs. Moreover, the French quite understand that by antagonising England they would be furthering Germany’s policy to their owo detriment. Suppose that which is most unlikely,—suppose that the French were to eucceed iv ousting the British out of Egypt, what would they gain? Nothing Indeed, they would lose in every way. It is truly remarked by the Empire, of Lon - don, that many sagacious Frenchmen would lixe to see France adopt the policy advocated by Gambetta~—a working alli- ance with England; and it is absolutely certain that a Franco-English-Russian alliance would form an irresistible com- bination which could alone approach the question of a proportionate reduction of those crushiag military burdens which are now draining the Jife-blood of Eurove.

Apropos of thie matter, we learn that Prince Mestchersky, editor of the St. Petersburg Grashdanin, lately visited Paris tv enliat French support for his idea of a Franco- Russian~German coalition against Great Britain. But he was con- strainei to return bome and to report that everyoue in Paris whom he addressed on the subject declined to consider the scheme. Not only so, he received an intimation of the fact that no rappproche. ment between France and Germany wil! be possible, even through the intermediary of Russia, so long as the question of Alsace - Lorraine subsists.

AN ENLARGED TRADE.

Tae trade returns for October, which appear in the Canada Gazette to hand today show that the trade of Canada is experienc- ing a very considerable boom. From pre- sent appearances the exports this year promise to be the highest ever known, while the imports and duty collected both show increases over same month last year. The figures for the month are: Exports, $13,355,997; entered for consumpt:on, $10,060,851; duty collected, $1,684,261; as compared with exports, $14,732,545, en- tered for consumptigo, $9,291,888; and duty collected, $1,577,928, for October 1896. The total imports for the four mouths of the fiecal year were $43,051 ,322 as ag’ ost $41,976,130, an increase of $1-, 175,252. It is in the exports, however, that tie great expansion of trede has taken place, the increase during the four months being vo leas than $15,485,220, the details being as follows «—

1896. Produceofmines... 3,445,248 Produce of fisheries 5,022,245 Produce of forests, 15,550,295 Anioals and dairy 16,057,0%1 Agricul:ural........ 6,570,730 Manufaciures....... 3,414,999 Misce!laneous..... 189,658

50,250,164 65,740,384

Theee figures show a gratifying de- velopment ot our export trade, particalarly | in respect to the products of the farm and | the mine. This development is largely a result ofthe polity purcued by the iate |

goverament, of opening up the country and establishing « great dairy industry.

THE MAIN POINT ADMITTED.

a ee

REFERRING to the recent auction sale of liquors in this city, by the Dominion

Government, the Patriot remarks :

“Atthe same time, we think it unfair for the Government officials to bring liqu ore seized outside the Province to be auc- tioned at Charlottetown. If the seizure had taken place bere, then the auction would be placing no more liquors oa the market than the importers intended.”

This is an important admission. Upon

this point The Patriot is in exact accord

with Tue Exaniver. Charlottetown ought not to be made a dumping ground for liquors forfeited and confiscaied in other provinces.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—_———

—A heavy business in wheat has been one of the features of the last week’s trade in Ontario. One Toronto buyer, we are told, took 60 cars of No. 2 red on a stngle day. The activity of the wieat trade ail over the province gave a tresh ‘mpetus to the circulation of bank currency.

—President McKinley is relieved of one source of anxiety which rested heavily upon his predecessor. The gold balance in the United States Treasury is making steady increases. It is now $157.396,030. The rise in the price of wheatand heavy exports have worked the change so long desired,

—A despatch tothe Montreal Star re- ports that J. G. Milne, a brother of the piper hero of Dargai Ridge, Patrick Milne, who lives near Vaucouver, in British Columbia, aday or two ago, speaking of the brave lance-corporal of the Gordou High'anders, whove name is in every mouth, said: “I bave just received a letier fromm my brother Patrick like a message from the grave.~ It is dated from Haw! Pinde. He says: “The reason for my be- ing shifted here is the disaster which he- fel. the British truops in the Techi Va‘ley. The regiment that was garrisoned bere- are off to the seat of war, and we are settled down bere to do duty in their place I suppose you see in the papers about theee frontier fights, which are constantly

occuring. Ours isa lucky corps, and there are a fewof the fellows here who have got a medal of some sort. We have

every reason to believe “that we will go up again if this affair should prove any- thing great. “The commander-ia-chief isan old Gordon, and so I think this accounts for our being a little favored.” The rest of the letter deals with family matters. Mr. Milne saya: “The idea that my brother Patriek, is Irish on account of hit name is erroneous. He is oneof six children, and was born at Ardoyne in 1872. Oar father is @ small farmer of Watersise Newburg.” —-o-<——

Althouga Kassala and the rich province of Taka will henceforth zo toesrick Egypt the idea of a common trade route which would not forcibly divert the commerce of the Eastern Soudan from its natural chan- nels—that is to say, from Massowah — might furnish a basis fora closer under- standing between Italy aod Englaad with regard to their African policy—an under- standing which, eliminating the petty sources of past disagreement, would | strengthen and somplete the programme | possessed by the two nations in the | Mediterranean.

Fate has willed that the difficulties of England in these regions should be identical with tae didii- culties of Italy. An impartial examina- | tion of the question shows that the dis- comfiture of Iialy was ax mucha result of her own weakness as of her abandonment by the Anglo-Egyptians, and that the re- sult of ltaly’s discomfiture weighs more heavily today upon the African policy of | ngland thao could bave been expected or toreseen. Ia viewofthe French expedi- tions which are about to meet, if indeed they have not already met, at Fashoda, is not, an Anglo Italian understanding worth ¢ msideration? Would it not exercise in- calculable intiience upon the Ethiopians and their chief ?
