'HNN NdLStlN
About 20, 900 immigrants have en-
seted the Northwest thus far this year,
and although this number falls short Of
that OF last year, the class of people n
tering the country is nov much superior.
The crofters, who are settled on Gov.
eminent land north and south of the
track between Fleming and WapcIia
stations, are doing wonderfully well.
Lady Gordon Cathcart advanced ESQ
to each family, which was supplemented
by an advance OF ESQ more made by the
Canadian Northwest Company, which
draws 9 per cent. on the money. Mr..
Scarth very wisely arranged IL SO that
the erofters should not I've huddled to.
gether IN one colony, but mixed mp with
Canadian and English settlers, from
whom they can learn many q wrinkle.
The English settlers, with the excep-
ton OF those from London, are, on the
whole, first class farmers, and with a
good srop and fair prices this fall they
will be able to bring a very large area
Of land under cultivation next season.

espetT wolseley Of the British army

k~H ~ oteno army
Ahas arrived in Egypt - take command
f the military EXPEDITION up the Nile
for the relief Of Khartoum, and Il has
been alleged that his He'd river expe-
dition IN 1870, when he subdued the
Winnipeg rebellion, gave him the ex-
perience necessary 10 success in Egypt.
General Wolsaley's Red river expedition
consisted Of -four companies Of British
regular soldiers. who we're transported
% Thunder Bay, at the head Of Lake
Superior in excellent steamboats,.
Their march from there 10 Winnipeg
was along a fertile country, with good
trails for part Of the distance, and nav.
gable lakes and easy portages for tie
rest Of the way, The march lasted but
twenty or twenty-five days; supplies
we're easily carried; they met no resist
ance; the entire hostile for Q against
which the expedition vas H. ctea con.
sisted Of but a lew hundrea French aud
Indian half. breeds under the command
d Louis Rel, a mere boy in years. and
but little better than crank in either
respects; they all fled at the approach Of
the little British force. General wolse-
~ has since distinguished himself upon
xo occasions, where the difficulties to
be- encountered were not very serious.
His present task il surrounded with
great obstacles, but there seems 10 be
hut little doubt Of his success among
his ountr,men.

General Crook was severely criticised
some months ago for demanding that
his agreement with the rebellious
Apache Indians be complied with, he
assuring the Government authorities
that il that we're done the Indians would
become peaceaLle and industrious. The
Government after a Tins. reluctantly
consented to do as he requested, aud the
result has been most gratifying. Crook
has treated the Apaches humanely, not
withstand their inhumenity, and as a re-
snlt, he says. they are taking q decided
interestin agriculture and s~tock-raising
and appear anxious 10 have their chill
dfen educated. He also SAYS in a receni
letter that there is not in the state Of
Pennsylvania a village OF the same pop
ulation more peaceable and iaw-abiding
than The 5000 ApacLcs on the San Car
los Reservation. 1t is greatly hoped
that Crooks policy mly soon be extend
ga To the other tribes Of American In
dams. and the loss Of many lives and
much money thereby saved.

The cholera scare in France has saved
Americans millions Of dollars, and en-
abisd some of tfsera e see something OF
their own country. The hotels OF Paris
are said 10 be comparatively deserted.
Taking che four weeks in July, the ar
risals were s9,424, and the departures
81 $40, - against 1912 erriyals in
Jzly ia,s ycsr, sua i05,oi4 departures.
Paris has thus had about IA 600 fever
visitors in single month than came TO
her during the same period last year.
And yet there has been no real danger
in visiting Paris. The fear OF detention
from quarantine Eas, however, made
travellers prefer resting at home and al
home resorts.
