Horace Wslpole writes: lyon viii not

lEisosllansous Notes.

The Africans do not believe in long
~inded essays, even in their diplomatic
;~reaties. The extradition treaty be-
tween the King of Ethiopia and tho
Khedive OF Egypt is as follows, and ems
braces every criminal case: "His Ma
iesty the Negoosa Negust and his High
ness the Khediys engage to deliver
I'D, one to the other, any criminal or
criminals who NAV have fed to escape
punishment from the dominions of the
one to the dominions of the other"
The announcement that the Chilean
Government has declared a wal of ex-
termination against the monarch of vul-
tures-the candor-and offers So for
every candor killed, iustifies some re-
marks rs to the possibility Of the Chilean
Government realizing its purpose. The
candor has, indeed, been declared Fan
enemy TO the republic and candor-
hunting has become a highly lucrative
business; but when one takes into 0 n
sideration the astounding powers of the
bird and its wonderful habits, one finds
ii hard to believe that the Government
can eve succeed in destroying the species
at any price.
In the German Empire, seventeen
years ago, there were 800 towns, with
populations of between 5000 and 90
600, which wero without railway accom-
modations. In the yessr 1880, the mum.
Der of such town was only 1872. OF
towns having populations Of between
1000 and 5000. there arein the empire
1875, of which only 46S had any rail-
way accommodation seventeen years
ago. by 1850 the number of towns SO
provided had risen to 932.
The Philadelphia Ledger says Of
street ear conductors who assist women
passengers with their baskets, bundles
and v~alises: This is true of the con-
ductors, with rare exceptions. They
are especially careful to assist women
passengers, without regard to station
in life, and there can be no better test
of courteous attention.

writer, draws attention TO the naval ar
maments OF the European nations, most
of which have important commercial
interests there, necessitating q patrol
Of those waters in addition to the ser.
vice required in other parts of the
world. England has % modern line-of.

Condition of Crops in Foreign Countries

The report of the United States commission
er of agriculture for September has just been
issued. II gives a very interesting report on
the condition Of the crops in Europe, India
and other foreign countries. In Europe, as
compared with last year, the barley and oat
acreage have fallen of 5S and IS per cent re-
spectively. The slight gain of ~ per cent in
wheat has no significance beyond the fine con
dition of the land In the last sowing season.
In 1888 there was a loss of nearly 100000 acres
on a basis Of 3,U0,eoO in wheat, and the re-
bound this year Of Is, 900 acres is but tempo
rary. The tendency to put cultivated into pas
ture lands will be greater than ever This COM
ing year. The highest estimate for wheat il
81 bushels. and the lowest 80, the more careful
estimates keeping within 81. The total pro-
duction is Sl,5l6,Sl7 bushels, the highest
being Jog, 100000 The commissioner says
with regard to the crop in Great Britain
and Ireland that the results or the
harvest have created widespread satisfac-
tion. The report Of the harvests in Austria,
Hungary, Russia and Trance are very favor
able. Ii is estimated in France that 4o,ooo,Vw
bushels can be imported A dispatch TO Lon
don from Calculus expresses the opinion that
India will be able TO export 50.oD0,Uo bushels
OF wheat to foreign countries this year, The
commissioner observes that the increase OF
exports from India from q few hundred thous
and bushels per mum ten 10 twenty years
ago, tos7, las, 43 bushels in Isel-S2 and 81,
l2Ig77 bushels OF sixty pounds for ISSS-s4, has
excited the attention OF the whsat-growing coun-
tries. Conditions have not been favorable ~
former years for large India exports, mainly
from lack OF transportation facilities. The
careless cleaning OF the grain and the mixing

Foreign Flashes

The Russian corvette at vlAdivostok seized
the American schooner Eliza, for having con
usband goods on board, and the English
schooner Helena, for illegal hunting.
Russian newspapers speak Of the appoint
ment Of Earl Duncrin as viceroy of India q,
an augury of the continuance of entente cor,
dlale between England and Russia, and as a
guarantee OF the satisfactory delimitation OF
the Afghan frontier.
Two thousand French troops landed wednes
day at Kinpai Pass, on the river below Foe
Choo, and attacked the Chinese. The latter
were defeated at heavy loss, and are in full
retreat. Vessels belonging TO Admiral Cour.
bets squadron have been cruising about the
Shussn islands which lie just of the coast,
some distance TO the southeast Of here. Ii IL
thought that Admiral Courbet may make these
islands his headquarters during his operations
in the Yang Use river. The islands are of great
strategical Importance, but malaria exists there
of adeadly character.
