NOTES AND COMMENTS

~— Parliamen: opened on Thursday at Ottawa. The interest in the war will net thersfore be abated, but there will be aceunter attraction. And heavy battles are expected in the parliamentary field.

—It is thought that the cot of the Boer war will be jabout £569,000,060. Britain evidently underestimated ihe character of the work she was uadertakiog, for it was supposed that £10,000,000 wouid pay the bill. But five times that sum is now cet down.

— Among the things proposed to be pro- vided by the 475,000,000 francs asked for the French navy are 26 submarine tor- pedo boats. Momeeurious experiments with these devices were conducted last year, evidently with enough success to

; responsible for the calamity, becau:

—A correspoadent writes that several couples in Tigaieh and Palmer Road who were “tied up” since the beginning of the Holy Year en account of the general im- pression that even bishop’s powers were reatrieted in matrimonial cases have been rejoiced by am order from Mgr. Falconio, Papal Delegate, Ottawa, permit- ing the ueual powers to bishops as to matrimonial impediments,

—The Montreal Star says that Hon. Mr. Fisher and Hon. Mr. larte had five hundred new breoms seaked in kerosane oii to make _ torches for a Liberal

| triumphal procession at Sherbrooke en

the 25th. The victery went the other way, aud now the breems are a white ele~ phaat onjLe Baron’s bands. And _ it is not likely that they will ever be wanted in Sherbrooke, eo intending purchasers may be sure ef a bargaia.

—General Alger, who was in New York a few days ago, is quoted as saying: It is un-American and uopatriotic for any American citizen toseek ¢) stir up division among the American peeple as te pro-Boer and Anti-Boer, aud as te pro-Ewglish and anti-Eoglish, The English government and =the English people kept their bande effand their mouths closed in 1498 when we were fighting with Spain aud! believe thie ceustry ought to be as decent in 190@ as England was two years ago,

— The Mail and Empire points out that it was a poor service to himself Sir Wilfrid Laurier rendered when he toid the deposi- tors in the Ville Marie Bank that Mr. Foster ought to have clesed the institution years ago. The depositers went off and thought over the matter. As Sir Wilfrid had said thar the late Government was it failed to close the bauk, they concluded that Canada ought to make good their losses. So they waited upon Mr. Fielding, and laid their reasoning before him. It was unanswerable except in one way, namely, by tellingiae truth. Heesaid that no Goveroment could close a bank, thus indicating that Sir Wilfrid had committed a breach of veracity at the former inter- view.

—The Ruesian aewspapere are just now paying considerable attention to the pro- gress of events in China. The Nevosti expresses the opinion that the dynasty will last for a long time to come, but adds that China will never be restored to her former condition, and that the ** unavoid- able work of partiticn will be accomplished peacefully, though perhaps in the distant future. The Rossija asserts that it was not necessary for Ruesia to take a hand in the coup de etat and adds: “A Ruse- Japanese alliance is inevitable. It is only & question of time. In the meanwhile it is important that the control ef the naval aad military ferces of China do not fall inte the hande ef the Americazs, Britieh, or Germans.” The paper con-

| tried to crush out of the Liberal party to

see how the new situation affects the in- ter sets of Western Europe, above ali thoee of England.”

—The Conrervaiives could easily have won the election in Winnipeg if they had nomimated a candidate. The Winnipeg Telegram explains why they decided not to puta man inthe field. Inthe first place, Mr, Sifton had to submit to the hu- miliation of allowing the man he had

go tothe polls without opposition so far as the Government is concerned. This was a rout for M>, Siftov. _1n the second place “the Conservatives recoguized tow valu- able was the help the Censervative party received during the recent elections from the independent Liberale; and it weuld have been ungratefu! and dishonorable in the extreme to have repaid th.t assistance by ‘aking the first possible opportunity of Opposing the independent neminee, whom, had a Siftonian candidate been in the field, Coneerva‘ives woud have been under a moral obligation to support.”
