H WAR RUMOURS.
From tie Eur. Mall

A War.Blast was sent along the electric
wires from Berlin the other day, in the shape
of a RESUME Of an article which had appeared
ia the Post Of Berlin, a paper supposed to be
inspired by Prince Bismarck. The article set
out hy drawing attention to the recent visit Of
the Emperor of Austria to Italy, and drew the
conclusion therefrom that an alliance was to be
formed between the two countries with the OBJ
iect Of supporting the Pope against the anti
Ullramontane policy of Germany Nor was
this all. The writer pretended to see that
France was rapidly recovering from the effects
of her recent humiliation, that she was arming
for purposes beyond mere domestic require"
ments, and that she contemplated a war OF re.
venge. Then France, Austria, and Germany
passed through the fervid Imagination of our
ingenious contemporary-ln some such way as
the crowned spectreS passed before Macbeth-
and he at once jumped to the conclusion thatl
was Just possible that the powers referred to
might make common cause, and enter into an
alliance, with the view Of keeping Germany in
check and preserving the balance of power.
This nightmare-though it would be we'll if it
were a reality-troubled him to such an extent
that he beseeched the sleepers" to be-
ware y "to awake from their slumbers,' and,
finally, in what would appear to be g paroxysm
of fear not unmixed with delight he declared
"War to be at hand.' This fiery little hand
grenade fell with immense force, and did some
execution among the nervous of our own Stock
Exchange and the houses OF the Continent. 1t
is as we'll that the wool sales were not on, for
the colonies would have assuredly suffered to
the extent Of Id. per ID at least. Of course
no one seriously believes that Germany would
be mad enough to precipitate a war in which it
is just possible that every great Continental
power would be engaged, but the dictatorial
power lately assumed by that government
must always cause suspicion, and keep every
power in Europe on the qS' vsoe as to what is
likely to be her next move. Then the little
kingdom of Belgium was made to play her
part in this pleasant surprise. Some time ago
there was an exchange of notes between
Belgium and Germany on the subject of
the laws relating to international obliga-
tions, and it is now pretended that the
Belgium laws, which do not impose penalties
upon attempts by the subjects of one country
against the security of the persons and internal

THE COST OF THE BRITISH
COLONIES.
From tie Ear. Mail

A return obtained by Mr.. Mellor of "the
cost Of The several colonies of the British EN-.
pire at the expense of the British Exchequer
for the years 1669-70, 1670-71, 1871-72, and
IS72-73," shows that the net total cost was as
follows I'm 1669-7O, 2,745,98oA. in 1901,
1928, 304L. in I87I-72, 1911, 00M. and in
1923, 1,S17,47IL Canada, which in 1869-70
cost 434, 1881, in 1928 only cost 3,552L In

made no demand on the British Exchequer. In
Ceylon the military contribution OF the colony
and other receipts exceeded the expenses by
1861. The heaviest items of expenditure
shown in the return for 1928 are, Malta,
37e.52Oz.; Gibraltar, 3O6,433l. and Bermuda,
1913, O15L.

THE COLONIAL STANDARD ON THE
LATE REPORTED OUTBREAK
IN JAMAICA.

The London papers lately announced an
other OUTBREAK IN JAMAICA. We are glad
to inform our contemporaries that the pretend
ed rising did not swell to the proportions
even Of "a storm in a teapot" There was
absolutely no foundation uHatever for the false
statement which went forth from some mis-
chievous source here, as fast as the Telegraph
could speed it along, as though its authors
revealed in the contemplation of a renewal of
the bloody saturnalia" Of a few years ago.
Those were good times for making out personal
enemies, and asking their sacrifce at the hands
of that most cruel and coWardly of all public
counsellors, Fear and perhaps the wish was
father to the thought with the few who were
SO eager to invent and propagate this story.
1t is very much to be d~eplored, at the same
time, that some silly people should have
incautlousIy spread the report because the
injury to the country through the idle feSrs
and the groundless apprehensions engendered
thereby in the mind Of persona abroad, must
take time to subside, and, in the interval
many q venture intended to be launched here
will be retarded, or perhaps totally renowned.
We have a Railway scheme on the tapis, and
there was a fair prospect Of the large sum
over $4,000 required for its erection, being
soon forthcoming from English capitalists.
Mr.. Burton's Central Factory scheme was
steadily receiving subscribers and adherents
and other projects Of a similarly desirable and
beneficial character were spoken Oft is but
natural to suppose that these will all receive
a check through the unfortunate news referred
to. We hope the Governor will cause some
inquiry to be made into the origin Of these
reports, not so much with the views of punish
ing their wicked authors, as with that Of exhibit.
ing officially to the world through the. evidence
taken, that there existed really nothing to
authorize them. Fer cur part We believe
there was never a time when a rising in Jamai-
ca, would be less probable than al present.
There will always exist here, as in every other
country, the antagopism between riches and
pOyerty-cOmmunism in a more or less intense
form, driving the needy who will net work,
TO take what the industrious have accumulated,
and the frc-brand with its promise Of confusion
and plumber may be used aa q means but
the masses are becoming daily more Conserya-
tiye, because they ara acquiring property,
and are learning the value of order and authori-
ty. The more intelligent among the people,
as we learn from gentlemen in the adjoining
parishes to Saint Thomas, heard the reports
with mingled surprise and indignation, and
declared that they would be the first to run down
and e~Xtinguish any rebellion. Up to the pre-
sent time, we may add, not a single person has
been found to speak vita the smallest degree
Of certainty TO any circumstance which might
have given rise to the reports in question.

A New YORK letter to q firm in Gorge
town, Demerara, informs the correspon.
dent, that after July next, the Mail Ser
vice with Brazil will cease as Congress
has made no appropriation for a subsidy,
without which the line cannotb be sustained
If this be true, and we have reason to
believe it is, it may induce the Royal Mail
Company to establish regular communica-
ton with the West Indies and New York.

Portable "Bcer Powder"

An evil future is impartially prepar-
ing for both the apostles OF the Permis-
sive Bill and the great public-house in
terest itself. Science, with It's wonted
absence of prejudice, has just dealt
side of the question knock-down
blow. A Frankfort journal reports
that chemist OF that city lately given
Il public exhibition of his ability to
make delicious beer Mt u moments no.
tce out of nothing hut small Wlantl-
ty of hrownish powder and pail Of
water. 1t is said that certain experts
some OF them brewers Themselves
could not distinguish between the bev-
erage thus made on the spot and that
drawn from the orthodox cask. The
new beer powder can be sold ut five
pence an ounce, and the ounce Is sulii-
cient to produce n gallon of beer. AT
this rate glass OF ale VIII cost about II
farthing. And the process is so sim
pie Take some pure, cold water, put
the powder into it, stir well, aud the
beer is ready. The inventor, more
over, declares that by u slight change
in his ingredients he can altar the
quality OF the beer and produce any
Kind that may be desired. Shortly,
therefore, great revolution may be
expected. With II few grains Of Bass
in one pocket and pinch or two OF
Ind and Coope in the other, the thirs:y
but not even BONA iide traveller of the
future will calmly make for the near
est pump and there contentedly drink
confusion alike to Sir Willred Lawson
and to the licensed victualler.-l Pail

AN EXAMPLE or PUBLIC VIRTUE.
IN this connection, even ut the risk
OF ihcurrlng censure for intrusion upon
private life, ] give you an Incident,
upon good authority, In the recent lile
OF TINT representative old Nirgluian
eN Senator r. N, +, Hunter, 4 little
more IhAn twelve months since, Mr..
Hunters name, without c0nuiyance
ol his own, WAS earnestly pressed iur
United states Senator in the protractvd
struggle resulting IN the election Of Co.
lionel Withcrs. While the struggle Was
pending, Hunter wus struggling with
poverty down in Essex, Just ~ he had
been struggling since the war, running
a l'tIIe mill, performing much of the
hhor with his own hand, and, with re-
sources limited to degree almost be-
yohd credence, wrestling with cruel
but honorable poverty. More than
forty years in the public service,
with distinguished service in the
Legislature of Virginia; Speaker
Of the national House OF Representa-
tlves; elected three times to the
United States Senate; chairman of the
Finance Committee (nnd Wall street
lived and was powerful before the
wnr)-all these prominent and power
tul positions had never tempted this
great Nirginian. Nearly decade af-
ter the war had passed, and Virginia
still had her Cmcinnatus, and still
gave an example of public virture to
mankind. Not long after Mr.. Hun
ter's defeat for the Senate, n vacancy
occurred in the position ofState Treas
urer, and Mr., Hunter, with great pub
lie satisfaction, was chosen to the posi-
ton SALARY $1,000 per annum) by the
Legislature. | am credibly informed
that of his salary the grand old man
has since his occupancy of the office
used a small pittnnce, barely enough
to give him II plain support; the rest
has gone to his creditors. The simple
narration is sermon in these days.
70 the hero Of the CrtdH MOGajcr,
Hunter is simply n "rebcl." But what
will history say of such rebels? Per-
haps, after all, IN American story,
"rebe" will become the synonym of
"patriot." Truth for long time was
"treason."

Acceptance of Contracts by Telegraph.

The rule of law which declares that II
proposition made by mail is finally ac-
copied when the acceptance is depos-
tied in the postoilice, has also been eX-
tended to contracts made by telegraph.
When n party makes II proposition 10y
telegraph lac designates the medium by
which the answer is to he sent, and
the contract, which becomes consum-
mated by depositlng with the telegraph
company the copy for the telegraph,
can not he affected by any errors III
transmitting the acceptance. When
the party accepting the contract should
be called upon to prove his contract, he
would do 50 by means of his original
copy, ana not by the telegram actually
received The contract can not be al
fected by the failure of the telegram to
arrive in time. This again follows the
analogy ofcontracts by mail. The loss
by the postoilice department of let
ter of acceptance does not render the
acceptance any the less effective, ana
the same effect is given to notices OF
dishonor of Il bill or note, deposited IN
the postotlice, addressed to an eudorser,
which notices may never reach the en-
dorser. 1t may be added, that the tel,
egraph can not be used to countermand
an acceptance consummated by de-
post of acceptance in the postoillce.-
