The New RUSSIAN Capital.

The telegraph states that the Emperor of Rus
sa proposes to transfer the capital of his Empire
from St. Petersburg, and make the city OF klev
the future capital. 1t is somewhat doubtful
whether the correct version of what he intends to
do has been transmitted by telegraph, but it is
likely that the latter place may become one OF the
royal residences, and perhaps a secondary capital.
The city of Kiev is located in Southern Russia,
almost due south from st. Petersburg GU miles,
and 40 miles southwest from Moscow. 1t is on
the junction of the rivers Dnieper and Desna, al
fordine water communication with the Black Sea,
from which it is distant $50 miles.
1t is thought that the proposed change IN the
seat of Government, or the establishment oil an
additional capital by the Car, is induced by q de-
sire on his part to reside nearer Poland and the
Austrian and Turkish domains, that he may more
readily direct movements for suppressing rebellion
and extending the area of the Empire.
Kiev has about 100 900 inhabitants. As a
proof of its antiquity and Importance, prominent
mention is made of the fact that its library con-
tains So, 200 volumes that its university has
1,549 students and eighty-fve professors. In the
same connection, it is mentioned that kiev has
large cathcdrals, manufactures of leather and
pottery, and holds an annual fair, during which
time the population of the city is double its usual
numbers.

The vote In the House of Lords.

On the night of the 10Th of June, amidst in
tense excitement inside and outside of the Cham
Der, the Lords passed the Irish Church bill to a
second reading by a vote, of 1T9, to LAG. This is
a larger majority than was generally anticipated,
and is accounted for by the fact that % of the
bishops did not vote at all. One only of the 4O
bishops voted for the bill, while sixteen voted
against it.
The bill now comes upbefore the Lords on its sec
ond reading, where it will be debated, amended
and combated with all the vigor shown by the OPP
position in the lower house. But it will avail
nothing. The nation has already decided as
clearly as any nation ever did decide a public
measure, that this must be adopted. And it will
be-. There is no doubt that the peers, as the
Bulletin remarks, Sc have strengthened themselves
by refusing to provoke a direct conflict with the
people, and the fact is apparent that the Lords
secular are less firmly welded to prescription than
the Lords spiritual, though it is only just to add
that it is the latter who are most Immediately at
fected, or who have the most to apprehend. The
Irish Bishops of course opposed the bill, since 1t
drives them from their seats. The English Blsh-
OBS might have voted with them in a body, from
sympathy, as well as from n feeling that their ex-
pulsion would weaken the political influence OF
their order, if they had not dreaded to become re-
sponsible for the defeat of the measure

trips.
From Brisbane to Sydney is 400 miles, and
from Sydney to Melbourne, which would prob
ably be the terminus of the line, $50 miles more.
Here, then, we have as ports to touch at. Homo

The average receipts by the Peninsular and

the Australian Colonies, for four years, is esti-

While the passenger traffic direct, via Cape Horn

gers left the Colonies for the central Polynesian
Islands, lying in the route of ships to and from
San Francisco, while 1914 left Sydney and New
castle for San Francisco.
The actual distance from Sydney to Southamp-
ton is nearly the same via Suez or San Francisco,
but the 3400 miles across the American Continent
are travelled at double the rate Of speed, while the

or llayrc to San Francisco. the rate of speed is
the fastest known, and far ahead of the steamers
in this ocean. Besides the large passenger traffic
from Europe and America to and from the Aus
tralian Colonies, there is the voyage around the
world in 100 days held out to the 10, 900 tour
lists in Europe, who are always planning to see
the world, regardless of e~xpense-pleasure and
comfort alone being their object.
We have by no means exhausted this subject;
but what VIC have said will suffice to show that
there is n fine field open to commercial enterprise,
and one which promises n rich reward. The
three Colonial Governments, together with that OF
New Caledonia, will doubtless contribute n sub
sidy for mail service amounting jointly to five
hundred thousand dollars, which, should none
be obtainablc from the American and Hawaiian
Governments, would be n reasonable premium
on the Investment required for tlc service.
