A n EO U S.
From the Spectator.

The Cape Parliament has decided
that it will have nothing to do with
the project of Confederation. The
project was brought before it in the
shape of a motion that a Conference
should be held of all the South African
Colonies, and was met by the previ-
Gus question" After a debate, which
lasted three days, the Premier (Mr.
Sprigg) on June 18th announced that
feeling was too equally divided for
him to persist, and he should accord
ingly drop the matter" Mr.. Sprigg
subsequently asked for a vote of con
fdence, which was accorded him by
a majority of ten, and there the ques-
ton for the moment ends. 1t will, of
course, be brought up again, as the
British people will not consent to go
on for ever paying for a native policy
which they do not direct, and which
explodes every few years, with disas-
trous results for the British Treasury.
The people of South Africa must
defend themselves, and they can
only do it through confederation.
Meanwhile, the failure of Mr.. Sprigg's
motion places the British Ministry in
a fix. The whole object of Sir Bartle
Frere's action in Zululand and the
Transtaal was confederation, and he
was left at the Cape in order that this
conference might succeed. Now that
there is to be neither conference nor
confederation, what will the Ministry
do with Sir Bartle Frere? If they do
not recall him, there will be most
grave and reasonable dissatisfa ction.

A private telegram, dated Pekin, July
2ud, has been received in London, an
nouuciug that "Ch upg How. recently
Chinese Ambassador in St. Petersbur q.
and sentenced 10 death for signing the
Knldia Treaty, has been reprieved,
in order to show that China does not wish
to burt Russia's dignity. and does desire
the continuance of friendly relations" It
that telegram is true, there are three poa-
sible explanations. One ia that the
European Powers, acting together at Pekin,
have compelled the Chinese Governments
to abandon the idea of war with, Russia.
Another is that some official revolution
has occurred in Pekin, and that Prince
Kung and the Peace Party are again at
the top. And q third is that the Europesn
Ambassadors, who were naturally from
professional feeling deeply initated by the
sentence on Chung How, have secured his
reprieve. to which an ower-wide %interpreta,
ton has been given. Mr.. Gladstone on
Thursday evidently expected war, and so
does the Russian Government, for it. hes
made an offer to the British Government
in the event of that contingency. which
Mr.. Gladstone said would be accepted. L
is. by no means quite certain that Pekin
can now stop General Tso. who has the
Mautchoo Princes. the Army, and much Oh
the people behind him. -

The Chinese, who, for some months
past, have resolved on a war with
Russia, have now commenced one, by
~invasions at two points. They have
entered Manchouria, close to their
own border, and the Government of
st. Petersburg is urging reinforce
ments w sea to Vladivostock.

ia, and, according to accounts recelv-
ed and believed in Cabul, though as
yet discredited in St. Petersburg,
where, naturally, they have no Off
cial information Of defeat, has forced
the Russians to retire. This gives
him, according to Mr.. Boulger, who
writes to the Guardian, the power of
outhanking the Russians, and is so
unexpected a move that it could hard
ly have been invented. We have
elsewhere pointed out the gravity of
this news The Chinese have been
preparing for months, the Russians
are almost powerless in Manchouria
and are not ready in Kuldja, and the
Kokandis are said to be in insurrec-
ton. 1t will take months to collect
forces sufficient to repel the Chinese,
and Russia will be compelled to use
her aeet,-that is, to blockade the
Chinese ports, and stop all European
trade with China, 1t is said that the
Western Powers will be asked to pre-
vent this, but they cannot forbid an
ordinary operation of war, unless
they are prepared to take part i'll it,
or to compel Pekin to give way. They
will hardly attempt either course, and
we fully expect to hear of a blockade.
On July 2nd there was a lively little
debate in the House of Lords on the
Bill for legalising marriage with q
deceased wife's sister, the principal
speakers against the Bill being Lord
Beauchamp and Lord C~oleridge.
The ScripturaI argument was not
pressed, but the stock assertion that
if these marriages were permitted,
you could no logger have your wife's
sister living with you like your own
sister, was freely used. Lord Cole
ridge went SO far as to say that the
Bill "would point out to the sister Of
the deceased wife that she was her
dead sisters proper Parliamentary
successor" He might just as well
say hal if Parliament objects to mn
posing a thelStlc test, it points out to
the Constituencies that an atheist is
their proper Parliamentary represcn-
tative. Lord Granville's reply to
Lord Coleridge was humorous. 81
am very fond" he said, "of my wife's
relations, but l do not feel that they
are my relations AS for my
self, l have not the slightest wish TO
marry any one OF my wife's sisters,
though | dote upon them ALL" The
division showed 1O1 against the
Bill and 80 in its favour, the Prince
OF Wales and the Duke of Endin-
burgh voting in the minority.
The Claimant is to remain in pri-

~foresees wal between Greece and Turkey,
and arising from tina t, war among the
European Powers. Turkey. they say, will
not yield and if it does not yield. Eng
land end France will defend Greece. Rus
sia will insist on the junction of the two
Bulgarias, and Austria will seize Metro
vita, to protect its road to Salonics. All
this is a little dreamy. and it must not be
forgotten that the Jews, who are so lntlu'
entail in the Continental, and especially
the Austrian Press. at heart symrathlse
with the Mussulmans against the Chris
tians. from whom they have suffered SO
much. 1t is quite possible that if Turkey
resists the mandate of Europe, the Bulgarl-
ans and Macedonians will Use, and the
signal for the FINAL struggle will be given ;
but the Pashas must know that better
thsn Europeans, and may avoid a resls-
lance with such serions consequences. AS
yet, the accord of the Powers 10 unbrokea,
and the Porte is much more likely 10 APP
pea r to yield, and stimulate the Alhanians
to resist. That would ~localise the war,
and if the Greeks can detach the Chris
tian Alhanians, or Miridites, by acknow.
lodging their ''Doda," or Chief. as Prince
of Albania. the war may be very brief.
A magazine does not always explode.
A new danger has made itself manifest
in London. A new gas-main, Sit. in dia-
meter, has been laid down between Bailey
Street, Tottenham Court Road, and Char
lOtte Street, Fitzroy Square, and the last
work was. on Monday evening 6 July. to
be finished in Bailey Street. The new
main wGs supposed to be empty, but gas
must in some way have leaked into it
from q full main with::which it was connect
ed, although the two were divided from
each other by a valve. The gas, therefore,
was mixed with the atmospheric air, form
ing a highly explosive compound, and on g
workman applying a match to a tess-ptpe,
to see ii all was right, the mixture exrlo'
ded. The explosion did not burst out the
whole main, but seven weak places, at
each of which it formed a crater, or deep
hole by blowing out earth, piping,
and paving-stones, some of which latter
actually crashed back through the roofs of
neighbouring houses. One workman was
blown through "a feet of the main. One
wall was blown out, the foundations OF
two or three houses were exposed, and
nearly 400 houses were more or less lnju r-
ed. Two workmen were killed, and tee
or twelve persons seriously injured, of
whom one is not expected to re-
cover. Had the mixture been q little
stronger. it being supposed the leakage
had no, been very great, or had a crowd
been standing about in the n~eighbourhoed,
the destruction might have been as great
as in q small earthquake. Even as it ls,
the injury done to the stability OF neigh
bouring houses will not be fully tested ior
some time.

The Claimant is to remain in pri-
sor. The Plea raised for him, that
he had been sentenced to two terms
of Imprisonment for enc perjury, vas
argued out last week, and disposed
of by the Court of Appeal. The
main contention, that Orion, having
perjCred himself in the very begin
ming of his case, must be held to have
been only continuing that perjury IN
subsequent statements, ven if
made in different Courts, was not
only rejected, but ridiculed Could
a man, asked the Court, by perjury
obtain a vested interest in perjury, so
that having perjured himself once,
he had a right to perjure Himself a
gain In that question lies the whole
case and it's answer, and the late At
torney- General was blamed for hav-
ing ever allowed it to be brought for
ward. Argument is lost upon asin-
cere Tichbornite, but it is, perhaps, as
well in every such case, where num-
bers of the common people seem to bs
lost in legalfog, t~hatjustice should be
ever over-careful, and every thing be
heard. 1t is much that the misguided
friends of the +" nobleman in Dart
moor" should be only asking for law.

ii . settlement aud Development OF the West
ern and North western States. Within the
present generation the center Of corn pro
duction has shifted from the South to the
West and of wheat production from the
Middle States to the far West. In lS49, SO
per cent, and In 1889 50 per cent. Of the
corn crop of the country was produced in
Southern States. In 1877. $50, 600 900 bushels
were grow in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas aud Nebraska, while the
production Of all the rest of the Union
amounted to 494 sos 900 bushels. The in
crease OF the tobacco crop has been chiefly
in the South, where the production in
creased 100 000 900 pounds from 1870 to
1878 During the same period the yield
of cotton increased from OH 900 bales
to 5216, 600. This increase was mainly in
Arkansas aud Texas, the crop of the former
State swelling from Ill 900 GOO pounds in
1870, to BIS 600 900 IN 1878, and that of the
latter State from 157 900 900 pounds in 1870,
to nearly 500, 900 900 in 1878. According 10
the writer already cited, about per cent of
our entire grain crop is exported, including
"a 70 per cent OF the wheat crop and 40 per
cent OF the corn produced. The exports
have rapidly increased in the past few years,
and are likely to increase in the future,
especially if the cost of transportation shall
be reduced. Thus, the total exports of all
cereals increased from 80 900 600 bushels in
1865 to 1S9 900 600 in 1873. About 3 per
cent of the National product was exported
in 1858, and nearly IL per cent. IN 1878. In
addition to this, the expectation of live
stock, into which corn enters more or less,
has increased tenfold during the past two
years
