THE CoOLIE EMIGRATION.
From the China Mail, September
Her Britannia Msjesty's Consul ct -
From the Lake supe, Tor Country.


From the Sau. Ste. Marie Journal, Of Nov. 10,
We take the following itemE-
There has been considerable activity lately in
the business Of entering land at tho land Office In
this place, since the appointment of the commits
sioners by the Governor for selecting the canal
Lar de-. Mining companies and individuals are pick.
ing up valuable tracts, and such as will be most
needed in connection with their mining operations
and other business. No selections have been made
yet in this district by the agents of the State Of
the lands appropriated for the canal; but it is I'M
acres granted for the construction Of this canal s to
be taken from this district. and that these selec-
tions are to be made before spring.
The public surveys in the Lake Superior land
district will be pretty much closed up with this Sea-
son, and very large tracts of mineral and agricul-
turA lands will be offered at public sale, we under
stand, early in the spring If We are correctly in.
formed there are some $50 townships Of these valus
BILE lands to be offered, about DOC, 900 acres.
Here is to be another chance for grand Investments
for capitalists and farmers, and We shall expect to
see q rush this way about tina. time.
The attention Of our citizens is directed to the
opening Of the theatrical performance the garri-
son, on The 10th inst. The lovers Of comedy will
have rich treat, and We trust that the soldiers,
who have been to considerable expense in fitting up
their establishment, for the amusement of their Off
Gers and the community, will be we'll pstronzed
We rejoice to notice that nearly all of the sup
plies and freight Of various kinds destined for the
mines of LIS Ike Superior likely to 90 forward be-
month an immense amount Of freight has gone into
the country.
We may say of our location that, with foot Of
snow on the ground, and more falling, the surface
indications decidedly favorable for winter opera.

The Brazilian Empire.

We have at hand the report presented by the Sc.
cretsry OF State in May last to the General Legis
latiye Assembly We take from this report the fell
lowing extracts:--
By virtue of new law, and thanks to the efforts
OF the government, the slave traffic has been COM
pletely extiDguished The number Of Africans i'm
ported In the course of the year 1913 mounted to
sixty thousand, and in 1919 to fifty four thousand
This number in 1851 was reduced to three thousand
two hundred and eighty. seven, of which one thou
sand and six were taken by Brazilian cruisers and
declared free.
A law recently enacted has organized the diplo-
matte corps OF Brazil which is to consist OF Euvoys
Extraordinary or Ministers Plenipotentiary, Resi-
dent Ministers, and Charge de Affairs The saue
law has also provided that the individuals having
served for term of ten years in the capa ity #
judges or secretaries Of legation cannot be deprived
OF their office, except by sentence of competent
tribunal. or by decree made with the advice and
consent of the Council of State.
The financial condition of the empire during the
past year, has been much more favorable than had
been anticipated, The public revenue has produced
the sum OF eighteen millions Of dollars, with which
the State expenses wore satisfied leaving excess
OF about nine millions; and all this notwithstanding
the war, and without any additional burdens being
imposed upon the people.
The report Of tho Secretary of tho Navv Den,rt.
ment contains statement Of the naval for ,e of Bra
gil. 1t consists Of fifty four vessels Of war and nine
Of transportation. Among tho former there arc
three large frga.es, eight corvettes, six briggs and
Blk steamers The army, including tho different
eorps Of artillery, cavalry, infantry, and national
guard, numbers twenty seven thousand three hun
dYed and seventy one men.
sTHAM NAVIGATION ON THE AMAZON.
Among the different projects of public utility in
Brazil, the steam navigation Of the Amazon river
deserves special notice The basis Of tho contract
has already been dehnityey laid in accordance with
the authorization conceded to the government, to
that effect in 1850 There il also another project Of
considerable importance that has bsen ses on foot
in London. A company, with . capital of two mil
lions fve hundred thousand pounds sterling, has
been organized in that city for the purpose Of At
tempting tho construction Of railroad between the
provinces ofRs Jansiro and those Of Ninas and San
Paulo. Among the empresarios and directors Of
this company stands Mr., d G. Hope, gentleman
Of very great wealth, ard Of such credit and iDu-
spce in London that his name alone il considered
sufficient guarantee in whstever enterprise he may
take Lsrt

News from yen.zuei..

We have received our dies from Curraocas, con-
tanning news OF interest from different parts of South
Amer ca up to the 10th ult. The following we
translate from the Official paper Of that date -
The Secretary Of tho Treasury Of this republic has
been changed, and Mr.. Jose Manuel Trado, who il
also Secretary Of Foreign Affairs, has been appoint
ed to the Office in his stead. The only enc Of the
former secrets res still in Office is the Secretary Of
Wsr ana Of the Navy, the nseparable companion of
General Eshenique. and his first minister, having
several months
The government is apparently preparing for war;
balls, bullets, and wsrlike implements are being
manufactured, and every possible effort is made in
all the departments to raise the army to respect
BILE number, Notwithstanding the desperate resist
snce offered by the people. Murmurs are continually
hesrd and the complaints are inoessant against the
position assumed by the standardization in provok-
ing and irritating Ecuador and New Granada, by its
conduct in the Flores expedition. The war navy
will probably be augmented by o vessel from the
English navy-at least the government is anxious
TO effect the purchase of one, and also by the addi
uor OF the steamship Amazon, which ia expected ut
Calao in the course of this month; the frgats Msr
cedes has been war rugged in the same port
The position now assumed by the ad ninistration
clearly shows that il considers war as inevitable
This opinion 10 founded eth on the fact that has
been announced that Q minister plcnipotentiary
would be sent by the Ecuador government 70 Peru,
to require an indemnity for the expenses incurred in
the defensive war against Flores, or because the
President General Eshenique is fully convinced that
bis motives in the barbsfous expeditions would be
brought to Light by the documents on board the
stesmer Chill, or perhaps on both reasons.
IN proportion corps of infantry and cavalry are
formed in Lima, they are sent on to the north On
the 18th Of August, the Torato regiment of Lapcers
were shipped or board the bark Provincial dc Chi
clayo; it ordered to be stationed az Chiclsyo.
As he saying is, "two birds are killed by one
stone,' by this step; the forces uniting near Lam

take guano At The Lobos Islands, and will serve
