RUSSIAN' TROUBLE
The latest phase of the trouble in l
the east has hardly been made sutli-
al idea that the differences between
the powers in the east has become
chronic and is likely to continue as
the eastern question in Europe didl
for half a century, frequently darken-
ing the horizon with threatening
clouds and possibly breaking into
open war. _
The chronic trouble may be said to
have begun with Russia`s arbitrary
interference in the settlement' be-
tween Cliina and Japan at the close
of the war of 1894 The first series
of aggressions ended with China
being practically compelled to lease
Port Arthur to Russia as a commer-
cial terminus for the Siberian Rail-
came a practical cession and with this
came the Russian occupation of
north eastern China. Subsequent
‘audacious encroachments are but the
entering wedge of Russia’s schemes
for controlling the commerce of the
Chinese Empire.
The immediate cause of the pre-
sent critical relations may be briefly
stated.-Last month it was announced

The twenty ninth of September,
the date ofthe plebiscite, comes on
the day of' the full moon, and con-
sequently at- a time of high tide.
\Vhether this forshadows a tmal wave
in favor of prohibition, or that the
opponents of prohibition will be un-
usually “full” on that date, remains
to be seen.
Toronto Globe proposes a world’s
fair to be held in 1901, in the Ontario
capital. As the world’s fairs of
Philadelphia, London, Paris and
Chicago were all run at a big loss,
it may be questioned whether itwould
be advisable for Canada to entei' the
list with the almost certain prospect
ofa still bigger deficit. Canada has
no city large enough for a. world’s
fair.

Interest is growing both in Canada
and the States in regard 'to the com-
ing tariff to be fixed for Cuba and
Porto Rico. It seems not yet set-
tled whether at the outset there is to
be free trade between Porto Rico
and the United States. Cuba will
probably have a separate tariff in
which the United States will have a
preference. There is a pretty general
impression that Canadian trade with
the late Spanish ' West Indies,
notably in fish, will be less favorably
conditioned than heretofore.

The British army consists of G59,-
500 otiicers and men. Of these
74,-500 are paid for by In lla." There
are also 47,000 men in the colonies
force of 538,000 men in the United
Kingdom. Of these the regular
troops' number slightly under 100,000,
the reserves 82,000, the militia 114,-
000_ the yeomanry 10,000, and the
volunteers 230,000. The total cost
of all the British forces at home
and abroad is a little over $115,000,-
000 a year. A regular costs annually
$415, a reservist $50, a militiaman
$73.50, and a 'volunteer $27.50-

Down to the close of the Civil War
in the States no value was attached
to cotton seed, and now it is a source
of nearly as large receipts to the
cotton growers as the cotton itself.
Recent investigations tend to the
belief that a valuable part of the
great corn crop of America has been
in like manner wasted. As the re-
sult of recent investigation aud ex-
periment it has been demonstrated
that corn cobs when ground up with
the corn. Corn and cob meal has
been proven to fatten steers about
equally as well as corn meal alone. In
a word millions of tons of valuable
cattle food have been annually wasted
by rejecting the dispised cobs. -
Hou Mr Fisher, minister of -Agri-
culture,is being criticised for having
stated in an interview with a London
paper that “Our making of wine is as
yet only in the experimental stage,
but we hope to make something of it.”
As is well known there is a quantity
of wine produced in Western Ontario,
to which Mr Fisher probably refers.
