It is no doubt in anti- cipation of some such turn as the release ofthe Black Sea host which has led tn the extraordinary activity in British Therc are renewed reports that the Russian Black Sea fleet may be permitted by Turkey to pass the Dardaneiles into the Mediterranean. There is little doubt that the Sultan has been approached on the subject, and a despatch from St. Peters- burg tells that he has signified certain con- ditions on which the passage might be permitted. These conditions are seld to be that the Sultan shall have a free hand ln settling the Balkan difficulties in the war which it is believed the coming I _ ’ _ I ew Spring Suits and vercoats We’ve opened about Fifty cases of new spring suits and overcoats for men.

Callback of Augustine Cove proposing a plan by which it is hop- cd that the relations between the farmers and the Dominion Packing Company ml! be placed upon a more satisfactory basis. We also print a report of a meeting of the Farmers' Institute of Lots 27 and 28 in hich this matter is taken up and the plan put forward by Mr. Caiibeck is very heartily endorsed and commended. T cl t the lan looks fee better understanding than has here existed may be remched between the Com- pany snd the farmers. We regard it as a cordial and friendly business relations tahlished here one large scale ought to turn dependant upon the more or less constant supply of a good quality of hogs for packing. Mlsunderstandings frequently arise between business men who are mutually disposed to act with fairness and justice. In such cases and especially where the difficulty is against the interests of both parties, no effort should be spared to have the trouble removed! We are satisfied that this is the case as between a number of our farmers and the Packing Company. We shsll he rrlad to sec mutual confidence rs stored and a basis for much more ex- tensive business relations in the future established which we believe muy be Of great mutual advantage. The latest feature ofthe war appears to be the landing ofa Jspanesi; land force far up on the eastern side ot Korea at Possist Bay, and moving inland in the direction of Kirin and Harbin. This is probably asmail force intending toat- tack and cut the Manchurian Railway. It involves a march of more than 250 miles across country, which in the cold season mustcreate great hardships.

The most agreeable and satisfactory remedy is Ferrozone, which makes the bowels so well order ed that natural and unassisted action is errnbllshed.

This is fscstiously held to account for the defeat sustained by the ministerial candidate ln St. John. The “unlucky” number thirteen is avoided by the Turks in both speaking and writing as much as possible. No Italian lottery tickstis numbered thirteen, as no one would buy it. In Par-is no house bears the number. In Norse mythology thirteen at dinner was deemed unlucky because at abunquetin Valhalla at which a thir- teenth guest intruded Baldur was slain. Though in Christian countries the un- lucky number ls usually connected with the Last Supper, the superstition is older than Christianity. It is greatly to be hoped that the friendly negotiations between Britain and France for the settlement of questions pending between them may bs speedily brought to a satisfactory conclusion. The British Colonial Ofllce is hopeful of this and has advised the Government of Newfoundland that the French Shure question is in s hopeful way for settlement. \Ve are not told anything of the terms proposed but it is pretty clear' that France would not consentto relinquish her claims on the shore of Nowfoundland except for a monetary consideration, or for tsrritor ' ial compensation in some other part of the world.
