—According to an (flicial estimate made | m the Treasury Department the present population of the United States slightly excercs 77,000,00¢. This indicates an annual increase of more then 2,000,000 siree the last Federal census was taken in

1890 when the tta population of the country was found to be more than 62,000,000. We are now witbin three

years Of another Federal census at which His reasonable to anticipate the total population of the Uhited States will exceed 80,006,000,

—The apple exporters says that, from the reports eo far received, the crop in New England is below an average, espec- jally winter fruit; that in New York there is }ese than an average crop along the Jakes aud a fair crop in the Hudson River Valley. In Virginia a fair crop, but very ight in the Ohio River Valley: Miseouri, Arkansa-:, Kansas and Iowa promises an average crop. Michigan and Nova Scotia are telow the average. Baldwins are reported light in al] sections of tbe United States, aud the larger part of the crop con - sists of russeis and green varieties. This is bad for the*exporter, for the red varieties take best in Great Britain. Our Ontario crop wil! be a fair one says the Toronto

Globe.

" —The New York Post notes an inter est ipg point of political history, as follows :

“In most of the talk about Canada’s preferential duties in favor of England, it curiously overlooked that this was a policy really forced upon her by our Chinese-wall statesmen. Canada’s first approaches were made to us. We could have had the preferential duties, and prac- ically have put Canada into the position of discriminating in favor of American voods against English goods. This was the declared policy of the new Liberal Government, and its representatives were early and assiduous in Washington to see what could be done in the way of a reci- procial arrangement. When the door was slammed in their faces, they naturally turned elsewhere.”

The Halifax Herald observes thai it is @ point not to be forgotten that the sole reasoo why the Grits gave their tariff an apparently British turn was because they failed in their assiduous attempts to make a dicker at Washington.

—The military machine in India wss brought to a high state of perfection during the term of Lord Roberts as com mander-in-chief. In addition to the four Lieutenant-Generals who res- pectively hold the Punjab, the Bengal, the Madras and the Bombay com- wands, tbe entire country is divided up into areas under the control of what are known as first and second class district commanders. It re. garing to know that the areas from whieh we are hearing of the trouble are consider- ed by the central authority to be atill sufficiently within the control of the zecond class district commander upon the spot. There is uo panic at headquarters, ani the automatic system of reinforcing jhe various points attached goes quietly on. Until we hear of some exceptional activity at headquarters it seems reasonable to receive within considerable reserve the tabled reports of the whole of the North- west froatier being “in a blaze.”

—St. John Sun: The St. Andrew’s Beacon says it is agreat mistake to suppose ibat ““the entire .iberal party isd szruntl- ed” because there are “a few liberals with aneatiefied grievances.” The reference is to those liberal journals which are de- pouncing the corruption and extravagance and bad faith of the ministers. The Beacon says:

“There are other liberals who would like to see the spoils system brought in vogue, but we have laid down a pol.cy on this poict, and by this policy we propose to abide. If upon investigation it is shown that a puhtlic official has been gui ty of e#t-nsive partizanship he will be remeved, but we eannot dismiss oiticials without vestigation.”

It must be consoling to know that liberals who believe that two ministers bave negotiated @ corrupt railway contract whereby a backer of the party was to make @ million dollars, that other ministers have sold thcm elves to monopolists, and still others bave been trafficing in offices, will be found “with an unbroken front’ ig bting for the mea whom toey believe to ke corrupt and unscrupulous and | false,

In reply to another enquiry Prof. Robertson described at length the educa- tional work conducted by the Dominion Agricultural Department and tbe cold Storage arrangements made.

CAPTAIN WHITMAN MURDERED A Nova Scotian Killed on Board His Ship, Sent Out by the Herbert Fulle: Owners.

A cable received from Buenos Ayr2s gays that captain J. W, Whitman and mate William Hansburg, of the schooner O.ive Becker, which sailed from this port on June 27th, have been murdered by the crew. The principal owners of the ve-sel are J. P. Ellicott & Co., of Boston, the same owners that sent out the barquentine Herbert Fuller, on which Captain Nash and his wife and mate Bamberg were murdered. The message containing the information was trom a banking firm in Buenos Ayres and gave vuly the bare fact of the double murder, together with the statement that the vessel was afterwards burned, but that the crew escaped and landed at Bahia. Theowners hope they are in the custody of the United States consul there, who would naturally assume

charge of the shipwrecked men. The Becker was a fine vesse! of 832 tone net.

The captaiu held a large interest in her. Tte valuatioa of the vessel is placed at $30,000, upou which there is a partial in- surance. «deine

Men who have arrived fromthe nork state that although the Chilcoot trail is the best one, the miners are centering at Skag way. Goods can be hauled over a Jarge part of the Chilcoot trail in waggons, and most of the rest of the way on pack borsee. About two miles over the sun:mit the men have to carry the goods. The White Pass trail is very bad, and _ horses are being killed daily. About two miles are cordu- roved, but still a large portion of it is bogey. A few men get through, but very slowly, horses being scarce compared with the number of men there,

Pirrspure, Pa., Aug. 18.—The farmers are now preparing to make a demonstration to show their sympathy with the strikers. Something like martial law has been de- clared in Phim, Hatton and Wilkins town ships by Sheriff Lowry. The three mines of the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal Company are in these townships, and all roads leading to them will be patrolled by his deputies. Persons walking or driving along the roads who cannot give a satis— sactory account cf themselves will be or- dered to leave the neighborhood and upon refusal will bee arrested,
