very deep, possessed all the characteristics Of
the great lake system, teeming with the varie-
ties Of fish found in lakes Michigan and Su-
periOr, namely, the great lake trout white fish
and fresh water cousin of the cod. The party
encountered many islands, some of them of
great beauty, and indeed were weather bound
among them at times, heavy sea rolling in
upon them. To persons who are unacquaint-
ed with the great lakes, the rapidity with
which heavy sea rises in storm would cause
astonishment BY these and other phenomena,
the great depth Of the water at distance from
shore and the very gradual slope Of the land, it
is almost certain that the estimated dimensions
of this inland sea have not been exaggerated,
That which is most impressive in the matter is
the disclosure of the enormous size of the
Northern portion Of the continent, in which
such giant sea has lain concealed in spite of
tho rapidly increasing population, the adven-
tnrous spirit of the age and the facilities for
exploration. A few months ago an explorer
on the western coast discovered two great un-
known rivers pouring into the Pacific, one of
which is comparable with the Mississippi, and
now toward the eastern extremity is discovered
an unsupported sea. What lies between them
is yet matter of doubt and mystery. 1t may
be that northerly and westerly from Manitoba
there lies yet another lake, or perhaps range
of lofty mountains, from whose snow clad
submits roll down those jty blasts that make
the blizzard Of the northwest and empurple
ears and noses with theito6 familiar cold wave
of winter. With this dhSrmous tract of coun-
try to explore, perhaps there will be no objec
ton to letting Europe find her own Stanleys
to disclose the congos d the Dark Commitment
and reserve the native e|adventurous spirits for
the settlement Of the Questions that lie between
the northerly zone of civlizatio9and the frozen
regions Which explorers penetrate but to de-
st. P0ul Globe.

Flour Exports.
The manufacture of flour for foreign export,
The local Importance Of which has been fire.
quently referred TO- is assuming considerable
national proportions. A careful Investigation
Of the subject by Bradstreets, leads to the con-
ciuson that, while the consumption of bread
IN this country has not declined. yet more
Amerlcan-made -four is going abroad than
ever; that British millers are unable to COM
pete IN quality with the best brands from the
United States, and that the proportions of our
wheat and flour shipments are gradually
changing places. 1t is stated as the result of
careful statistical analysis, that while the pro-
duction OF wheat in the United States has
nearly doubled in the last thirteen years, the
portion OF the crop sent abroad as wheat has
increased two and three-quarter times, and
the share exported as -four has increased three
and two-thirds times. It Is also found, that of
last years crop One-sxth was sent abroad as
wheat, and nearly one-tenth in the form of
flour, while the latter article Of export has
risen In rank in our commerce IN the last ten
years from sixth place to third The United
States Is now supplying Great Britain with
from Us to 60 per cent Of all the flour imported,
and the market is constantly extending one,
There Is every reason why this particular
branch OF our foreign trade should maintain
Its ratio of increase. For the same reason that
cotton manufactures are destined to domesti-
cation at the South, and for the same reason
that the mills of Minneapolis stand successful
In competition with those of states farther to
the east, it is evident that flour rather than
wheat will surely be the favorite export of
the future As a rule, when manufactured
product is in demand, the transportation be-
! Tore manufacture Of the raw material, is a dis
tinct loss. The mills that stand upon the mar
gins OF the wheat fields have natural advan-
tage, similar to that Which English rolling
mills would have over American If we were
obliged to import large share of the pig iron
used in manufacture. II we are to feed the
nations, 1t is reasonable to believe that cost OF
carriage will be paid in general upon that por-
ton only of the food product which directly
answers the purpose. Then, to proximity to
the field OF production must be added the adj
vantage OF superior skill in manufacture.
| American inventive genius and American en-
terprise have so improved the process of mill
| ing that II our hours are not actually the best
in the world, they are far better than any pro-
duced by the nations who are now our largest
customers. Controlling absolutely the home
MARKET the American manufacturer Of flour
sees little formidable competition abroad; and
1t is more than probable that flour rather than
Wheat will be the favorite form Of export in
future from the United States to the nations
that depend upon us for their food supply

Playing it on Queen Victoria,
London Special.

LONDON Special
Queen Victoria's foibles have again been sue
c~essfully worked upon by the rising young artist,
Mr.. r. Cation Woodville. Mr.. Woodville's prin-
eipal contribution TO the Royal Academy exhibi-
ton this year is an alleged historical battle-piece
entitled 'Tel-el-K ebir,n i'll which the Duke of
Connaught is represented as CALAMITY charging
a host of Egyptians at the head of his brigade,
and amid a q perfect hailstorm of shot and ex-
ploding shells. 1t is true that Prince Arthur
had the nominal command of the First brigade
of the British expedition of 1882, against Arab
Pasha, which won its final victory at Tel-el-
Kebir. 1t is also true that General Wolseley, in
his official dispatches, reported that the Duke of
Connaught behaved nobly, but all contemporary
records of the battle would be searched in vain
for any such example of reckless daring as is
portrayed in Mr., Woodyille's stirring pictures.
However, it serves to cherish the delusion of her
Majesty as to the heroism Of her darling son, and
the paintingh has been purchased for a round sum,
and is to be added to the royal picture gallery
at Windsor Castle. Sir Frederick Leighton's
life-size picture entitled "Iphigenia and Cymon'
is valued by the artist at Co, 900, although the
time occupied in its production was barely two
months. Sir Theodore Martin, the biographel

My attention has just been called to a dispatch
in your valuable paper stating that the churches
at Westfeld were closed against an address by
me on woman suffrage, mot out of any disre-
speet to Mrs. Cougar, but out of dislike to the
cause" This statement is false, and does great
injustice to the good people of Westfeld. On

address on High License, to a crowded house.

main the next evening and speak on woman
suffrage, but a previous engagement prevented
my doing so.

MR.. Fraley WIN pay DOLLAR for DOLLAR.

ST. LOUIS, May 5.-Mr. Moses Fraley's cred
itors offered to settle with him at 80 I3 cents,
but he declined the proposition and has notified
them all, not only in Chicago but in New York,
Philadelphia. and other places, that he will pay
dollar for dollar and requests them to draw on
him for the amounts due. The aggregate of the
Indebtedness outstanding is $3.50, 600, of which
$3.50, 600 is due in Chicago, This, with the mar
gins paid prior to the suspension, makes Mr..
Fraley's total losses over 5000, 900. His action in
paying dollar for dollar, particularly in the face
of the proposition of his creditors to settle at a
much less figure, is highly commended by all
a number of very complimentary dispatches
from Chicago.
