Notes and Comments.

The past few months have added to the British Empire a territory of two org + square miles. Up to the conclusion “ t ne treaty with Germany in regard to Africa the well defined area of the empire em- braced a little more than 9,000,000 square miles, and, though territorially the great- est in the world, only slightly exceeded in extent the Russian empire. The African possessions now fully and formally annexed sre as large as the whole of European Rus- sia. and bring the area of the British Em mire up to 11,000,000 square miles. This

nearly three time as large as that of China, and three and a half times as large as the United States, including Alaska.

The Argentine Minister for Foreign Affairs has discovered a new kind of reci- procity. Ina recent despatch to the repre- sentatives of the republic in foreigu courts, the Minister instructs them to make a special study of the protectionist legisla- tion now being enacted in so many coun- tries, as it will affect the trade of the Ar- gentine Republic. If, for instance, they find that foreign tariffs, in the course of revision, press heavily upon products that enter largely into the export trade of the republic, they are to report to the home authorities ‘* what products of the said country are best indicated for the imposi- tion of a heavy tax, on arrival at our cus- tom houses, as a measure of reciprocity. Reciprocity, therefore, in this case, will mean retaliation.

The Bosten Advertiser, a robust re- publican paper, has this to say about Los- ton and its lost export trade: ‘** Tweaty years ago Boston had a large and growing local export trade in breadstufls, that is an export trade done by Boston men and on Boston account ; to-day the local export trade is noticeable mainly because of its ab- sence, and Jno tendency towards an im- provement is to be discovered. It is true that great quantities of flour and grain go out from this port annually to enter into consumption abroad, and from time to lume

we hear of the large number of cars of grain received by the local railroads.

Such conditions, however, are misleading, for it is to be remembered that practically all of this export business passing through Boston is done on account of the interior

or on foreign account; the legitimate ares

local export business is practically nothing. -A statement of the ‘* Peter Pence”

collected during the year 1889 has recently been made public. The statement is to the effect that Austria contributed £16,- 000; Italy and France, £14,000 each ; South America, £12,409; North America, £11,500 ; Spain, £8,000 ; North Germany,

£7,200 ; Portugal, £6,000; Ireland, £5,- 200; Belgium, £42,006; Asia, £4,000; Roumania, £4,000; Great Britain, £3,- 800: Africa, £3,600; Poland, £3,400; Australia, £53,400; Switzerland, £2,200;

and Russia, £1,600.

— The Speaker of the Imperial House of Commons, in a recent speech at Leaming- ton, England, gave the following interesting piece of historical information :—

‘** There has been three historical maces of the House of Commons. When Charles the First met his death on the scaffold the mace of the House of Commons disappeared, and no one knew what had become of that ancient symbol of authority. Cromwell ordered an- other mace to be made, and that mace was placed on the table of the House of Commons, and was ‘the bauble’ which he ordered to be removed from the table of the House ona famous historical occasion. That mace had also disappeared. Rumor was going about that there was at Kingston, in Jamaica, a mace which purported to be our ‘ bauble’ itself, or a copy of it. Within the last few days he had, through the kindness of the Colonial Secretary, written to the authorities at Kingston, Jamaica, for the real history of the mace they had. Though it might be difficult to get it back again, if it proved to be the real mace, at least they could get a copy of it, and it would be interesting to keep among the relicsof the house. The third mace was made in 1660, on the restoraticn of Charles II.; and he hoped it would not dis- appear from the table of the house, but would have a long and glorious career before it.”

—The extension of French Dominion over the western part of theSahara desert is likely to have an important bearing on the enterprise of France. The new desert re- gion reaches to the fertile West African possessions of that country, and will no doubt soon be traversed by a railway which will open to European, and especially to French, trade the regions of Lake Tchad and the upper Niger, where enormous de- velopment of great natural resources is pos- sible. Even the desert may prove a source of wealth to France. It has little of the great utterly barren sandy expanses which, like the Lybian desert of theeastern Sahara, make cultivation and railway construction impracticable. In fact, the western Sahara probably does not offer the obstacles to a railway which the country intervening be- tween the Caspian Sea and Khiva inter- posed in the way of the Central Asian railway, now so successfully operated b Russia. A long stretch southward of Al- geria is well watered during a portion of the year, and southward of it again isa wide region where, by sinking wells, oasis may be originated and made to produce fruit and grain. Water, in fact, can be had at comparatively short intervals all along the worst parts of the railway route. The new territory will, with the Upper Niger on the south and Algeria on the north, form a compact territory within easy reach from France. The new par- tition of Africa, by which this territory was added to the French dominions, leaves comparatively little of that continent to be

now made a subject of contention between European powers.

A Hard Ticket. Mullens, one of the refractory crew of the David Irving, was sent to Georgetown Jail some few weeks ago from Souris for having run away with the Magistrate's horse while the trial of his chum was going on. The other day he was released from prison on condition, it is said, that he should at once go home to Gloucester and never show his nose in Souris any more. Instead of doing this, however, he found |

his way back as fast as his legs would carry | him. Here he again began to spend his substance in riotous living. A little after dark on the evening of his return he wandered into the round house tu have a) look at the engine. The light of the bull’s- | eye dazzled his sight, while the effects of | bad whiskey tangled his feet, and the eons | sequence was that he tumbled head fore- most into the pit near the turn table, cutting his scalp quite freely in his down- ward course. Out of this he scrambled, to

turn up soon afier in a row down the street He continued his spree until Wednesday, which proved to bea very

hard day on him and a boon companion who belonged to another Gloucester craft ; for they got into a tight and got badly smashed up about the face and head, some- thing harder than fists being used to bring the buffers to bay. Another trial bcfore the Magistrates fullowed, and Maullens, handcuffed and in charge «f special Con- stable Brehaut, was sent back to prison by Thursday morning's tiain. Just before the train started he wade « bolt for liberty, but the Constable being awifter footed than the prisoner, he was caught and marched off again to the County Jail

Foremost among the steck exhibitors is the Hon. Donald Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson's herd of Galloways attracted universal atten- tion. The poultry exhibit is one of the largest and finest shows to be seen any- where, the general average being very high. The sheep and swine department are well filled, and the quality of the animals ex- cellent, far ahead of us in Pictou County. The whole arrangements of the building and exhibits in the different departments are about as nearly perfect as can possibly mao One feature that char- acterized the whole proceedings, both ex- hibition and racing, was the square, honest, fair and honorable dealing which was every- where apparent. The judges in the differ- ent classes were imported men, paid for that duty, and so the usual ground of com- plaint that Oh, Mr. So got the prize be- cause he was So and So, or had some in- fluence with the judges was wanting. Eggs for England.

(Montreal Witness. )

** We must find a market for our eggs, somewhere, ” said a member of a large pro- duce firm, which does a considerable ex- port trade, to a Witness man to-day.

One effect of the duty on eggs will be a very tangible increase in the exportations from the purt of Montreal, and already the shipping agents are corresponding with Ottawa anent the conveyance of these delicate articles of food tothe other side of the sea. The Hon.G. E. Foster,Minister of Finance, has written each of the steamship companies represented in Montreal asking for all information concerning the facilities on board the steamers for the safe carrying of the eggs.

Mr. James Thom, freight manager of the Beaver Line, notified,the Minister that so far as that line was concerned the facities were excellent. Exch steamer is fitted up with three of Blackman’s patent power venti- lator wheels or fans, each of which sifp- plies 30,000 cubic feet of fresh «air per minute. Last yeav an exporter shipped 11,- 000 dozens of eggs to the English market as an experiment. A person who saw the eggs taken out on the other side of the At- lantic said that in three cases there were only six eggs broken. They were taken to the London, Liverpool, Manchester and Scotch markets, and were all sold at a pro- fit. They were fresh and in good condition and enquiries for further lots were made. Mr. Scanlan, of the Dominion Line, kindly explained the tacilities of the Do- minion boats for this traffic. They are ad- mirable, and any shipments so far taken over by the line have always been landed fresh and in good order. All the companies including the Allan and Reford, are kindly disposed towards the new trade and promise to meet the demands of the exporters in every way possible to en- sure the fresh keeping of the eggs. Another produce merchant, interviewed regarding the egg trade, said : ‘‘Most de- cidedly we'll ship all the eggs we can get to England. No: very few will be sent to the United States.” He did not see anything to hinder the safe transit of the eggs. The British markets were at present supplied with eggs from France and Belgium, and the merchant thought that our eggs would be prefer- red. Ireland, in former days, supplied the bulk of the eggs, but nowthe trade was not fostered to any extent in the Em- erald Isle.

Messrs. George Wait & Co, are to-day shipping several cases of eggs to England as au experiment.

The freight on eggs to Liverpool will be gbout fifteen shillings per ton.

A Patriot yesterday in connection with me. It estates that 1 se!l hop beer on my pre- mises, and wonders how I can hold my posi- tion on the railroad. Now, although the beer which was stolen recently was found in the shop in my house, I had nothing whatever to do with the selling of it, or with the shop either. It is my daughter, Mrs. Carter, who runs the store. Everything in it is her own, and I have nothing to do with her.
