River were alarmed at an army of caterpillars,
and no one found reason to jest at their fears.
Those worms came in one night, and covered
the ground on both sides of that river to an
extent of three miles in front and two in depth.
They marched with great speed, and ate up
everything green for the.space of 100 miles, in
spite of rivers, bitches, fires, and the united
efforts of 1000 men. They were, in general,
two inches long, had white bodies covered
with thorns, and red threats. When they had
finished their work, they went down to the
River Connecticut, where they died, poisoning
the waters until they were washed into the
sea-"

Every day increases the reasons why Russia
should insist on some decisive de ermlnation
of the questions at issue. To internal trou
bles with Nihilist conspiracieS, financial diffi.
cdltieS, and the uncOnceaied dissatisfaction
OF ROumania, there are now allied the B1l.
garian reyOlts, the increasing strength of the
Turkish army around COnstantinOpIe and the
certainty of a frightful mortality among the
Russian soldiers, similar to that which swept
away $1,000 in 1929, if the Turkish summer
Overtakes the army on the deadly plains Of
the lower Danube. 1t will not do to stand
still. 1t may be doubted, however, whether
RuSSia's calamitieS, present and prospective,
do not all things considered, drive her towards
war rather than towards peace. 1t may be
thought that struggle with powerful enemy
like Great Britain, will firmly unite the people
through patriotism and obliterate the reyou-
tionary sentiments which are cropping out in
parts Of the empire.

Mr. NaIlarta the MeYinan

Mr.. Vallarta, the Mexican minister of foreign
relations, under whose administration of at
fairs the recognition of the Diaz government
by the United States has been, with difficulty,
obtained, is now having trouble nearer home
1t seems that besides being premier he is chief
justice of the supreme court, license having
been granted him TO abstain from court duties
This license has now been Withdrawn, and he
is compelled to choose between the two posi-
tons. He does not wish to leave the premier
ship before the complete settlement of the
American question, and as chief justice he is
heir to the executive in case of a vacancy His
candidacy for the next Presidency must also
be taken into consideration IN the decision
Consequently his position is exceedingly en-
laTTaSSirg.

1t seems that the loss of the Allan steamship
Sandman, from the explosion of gases gener-
ated from bituminOus coal and confined i'm the
bunkers where the coal was carried is the
first disaster of Importance which has befallen
the Messrs- Allan since the remarkable series
of losses which happened during their cOnnec-
ton with the Montreal Ocean Steamship Com
pany. This unfortunate company lost within
the four years from 1859 10 1863 four steamers,
al of the passengers over five hundred were
drowned. 1t is to be hoped that after long
freedom from accidents, the Sandman explO-
sion dos not mark the beginning of a new
