NOTES AND COMMENTS

— The peace negotiations between the ambassadors of the powers and Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish foreign minister, are at a complete standstill. Thisis due to the refusal of Lord Salisbury to allow a Turkish occupation of Thessaly, pending a partial payment of the indemnity agreed upon. Lord Salistw-y’s ohjectoun is based

‘ upon a fear that an occupation thus begun >

might become permanent,

—Ass result of the increased business in Wall street memberships in the ex- shanges are becoming more valuable. Seats on the New York Stock Exchange are now worth about $20,000, buat the market for the memberships is purely nominal, as the disposition among mem- bers who have seats to sell is to hold for a still higher price. In the dull times that prevailed the seats sold for as little as $13,500, while in the ’80’s the price rose as high as $24,000.

—Rev. G. H. Cornish, general conferen ve statistican of the Methodist church, has issued interesting figures respecting the membersbip in the various confereuces of Canada and Newfoundland. They show a net increase of 108,303 raembers since 1883, and an increase of 5,744 over last year. It appears that there are in Toronto 42,379 Methodists, as against 40,734 in 1896, an increase of 1,645. Here is the ] at:

~~Not only the English, but the con- tinentinential newspapers are very much concerned as to whether the Canadian preferential tariff is a step in the direction of free trade or of protection. The St. James’ Gazette and other English Con- servatives claim that it is really a protec- tive measure. The Daily Chronicle, on the other hand, asserts that it is ‘‘a fatal blow to the whole policy of protecting Canadian manufacturers.” It gives the following reasons for taking this position: “Tt is justified by the statesman who has carried it on the excellent free trade ground that if Canada thereby takes more of our products we will naturally take her pro-

} duce in exchange.

with engiueeiing. Two sirong organiza- tions thus face each other, both deternsin- end. It cannot be said

that the eight-hour cause exc:tes sufficient

to resist to the

public sympathy to caicy on a long campaign. The men themselves are by no means agreed. The engineers in Seotland, North Eng'and and Belfast, bin jrageerd into the d +pule, show no enthusiasm for shorter hours. The employers, seeing this, coaat ou their

longer purses to win the battle,

—The Ironmonger of London has been in vestigatiag the recent uaderbidding of Englist sveel rail makers by American manvfacturers. It is ascertained that an Kast Indian railway company invited tenders for 7,544 tons of rails, and English rails were olfered at an average of $27.50. The Amer.can quotatioa, understood to come from the Maryland Steel Company, was $23.50 delivered at Calcutia. This tend+r was accepted, iogether with a tender for accessories, which was also lowee. The Secreta y of State for India says that fur- ther orders for rails for India have been placed ia the United Siates. The Bengal & Nappur railroad company recently accepted 2,000 tons from an American firm at $23, compared with $27.25, which was the Bri- tish bid. Lord George Hamilton «dds that the quality of the material waa tested be- fore acceptance by an official sent to the United States. That is to say the iron and

steel indu-try of the United States, fostered | §

by protection, has grown to such dimen- sions that, while the Uuited States ports are still fast closed against British and Canadian goods, American iron and steel- workers are undervidding those of Great Britain and Canada and selling steel ‘ails not only in the Untiied S.ates, Canada and Great Britain, but also out in distant India. This situation gives cause for thought in both Great British aud Carn- ada.

The Old Country people area little slow in catching on to a new idea, but they do get there atlast. Liverpool is following the example of Birmingham and adopting the trolley. The duck ’bus will soon be a tuing of the past. Of course, the change bas not been made without a great deal of opposit O21 being ex:ited, but the mapority of the citizens (so ssys a Liverpool pap?r) have resolved to sacrifice the ideal and content to have the skyline slightly interrupted by an electrical wire, in return for cheap, clean, comfortable, convenient snd rapid travelling.
