where to buy or whom TO

a good article can never ne

Sealskins are worth just so
much at any season Of the

gold, and the garments made
Of them are good at any
time and always have a
market value.
There is another class OF
Sealskins that come from
the coast Of China and Japan
that have but little value, but
when first made up into gar
mcnts they have a soft, hand
some appearance, and look
quite as handsome as the
Genuine Alaska. They are
London dressed and dyed, so
thatif is quite difficult to tell
the difference between a gar
ment made up Of Cape Seals
and the Genuine Alaska. 1t
is only i'm wearing that the
average consumer can tell
the difference. Sacqucs made

but the merchants who sell
them are sure to lose their

fconcluaed from First Pare.l

ment, and is the only one yet made that will ac-
count for the tortuous policy of the past two
weeks. The correspondents first question was
rs it to be peace or war; The official re-
piled:
''Peace for the present; war probably within
two years"
'If there is to be no war; why have these ex-
tensiye naval and military preparations been
nader
'These preparations were ordered long before
the durbar at Rawil-Pinde, and before any one
could have foretold its result. The government
certainly did not know then whether we were to
fight or not 1t was, therefore, only commonly
prudent to make ready for war. 1t has been
worth all the money it has cost to overhaul the
army and navy establishments in order to find
out just what our fighting strength is AS to
the moral effect of tho preparations upon Rus
STA, there is this much to be said: The fact that
we are prepared may not have averted war, but
If we had been unprepared that fact would
surely have invited it."
But you think that war with Russia is still
among the future probabilities"
Il think it is a certainty of the future 1t may
be deferred two years; it is improbable that it
will be deferred any longer"
How will the war be brought aboutlr
Russia will not be satisfied long with Penj-
deh, or even Herat She will continue to push
southwark toward the Arabian sea, as she has
country whose people are instnctively
hostile. she is certain to become en-
broiled with the Afghans. Then the as
sistance of England will not only be
accepted; it will be implored. Then too Eng
land can dictate the terms of her assistance, and
can enter upon war with far better prospects of
checking the Russian advance aud crushing
Russian pretenses."
The indications in all well-informed quarters
still point to peace, but the war preparations
continue with updminished energy. Several
more iron-clads were ordered into commission
for active service to-day. The government has
now chartered fifteen fast merchant steamers
to be converted into cruisers Several of them
are intended for service in the Pacific ocean.
