RUSSIAN diplomacy reminds us of the
Yankee who always answers a question
by asking another. England demanded
the recall of Koumeroff, and Russia re-
plies by demanding the withdrawal of
the British feet now sailing toward the
Black Sea. Negotiations are likely lobe
prolonged unless Koumerof should
strike Herat, in which case England
would be compelled to open on the
Nuscovites.

however did not attack and c%ontented
themselves with a-counter-move. They
advanced on the Caspian route from
Sarakhs to PULL hatum, a position
with considerable strength, with a
bridge across the Hari river.
Only a few weeks ago England again
agreed to submit the definition Of the
frontier to a mixed commission of en-
gineers. She at first demanded as an
essential condition Of this agreement
that the Russians should withdraw from
Pul.1-Khatum pending the surveys.
But Russia met this with a counter-de-
mand that England should require the
Afghans to evacuate Penjdeh,, which,
they claim, was never considered
Afghan territory in the time of Shere
Ali or Dost Mohammed. Both demands
appear to have been withdrawn and the
engineers will go on with their work,
leaving the troops on either side in the
positions they now occupy. The pro.
posed Russian frontier was specified in
London by M. Lessar. It runs within
eighty miles of Herat, and leaves not
only Pul-I-Khatum, but Penjdeh also,
to Russia. The proposed British from
tier drives the Russians way back to
the north of Pul-I-Khatum, and at least
as far back on the Merv road rs the
edge of the Merv oasis. Thus kept at
arms length, the English hope to
fortify the approaches to Herat so thor.
oughly as to make a Russian advance
exceedingly difficult.

Monday. He was sent up with a de
tachment of ten men to the lines to see
that no arms or armed persons should
cross the lines into Manitoba, or any re,

He reports everything quiet on the
Manitoba side and thinks the seat of re-

to seek refuge here.

is a very low price, although it looks
large in comparison with the ruling
figure a few weeks ago. Agent Shaw
gives it as his opinion, ba sed upon the
information he received as buyer, that
the wheat crop of 1885 will be smaller
than that of any year since 1866. The
highest price paid for wheat since 1866
was $40 per bushel. This extraordi-
nary figure was Of cours the outcome
of q great "bull" operation during the

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1885-08-29

The ingenious French builder, NJ Decau-
vile, however, surmountei this. He made
the locomotive in two parts. The largest
section weighed 1913 pounds. That is the
maximum elephant load. The mon
strous creature kneslel down obediently,
and the great weight was drawn upon his
back by double file of soldiers With each
elephant goes native mahout, or driver
AT his order the beast rises and stands erect,
an elephant with a locomotive Strapped upon
its back. 1t is the extremes OF civilization
meeting.

of the chapter. They are at Petit Bourg,
not far from Paris, and cover a space OF
twenty acres along the bank of the Seine

the iron and other me. al for tue cars. These
materials are worked up and the finished
products are shipped out Of doors in the
middle of the factory.
This great establishment has solved the
most difficult problem of modern times--the
antagonism between capital and labor. The
head of the house simply treats his employees
as human beings, as he himself wouli wish
to be treated i'll their ace That Is all there
is of it. They and he are prosperous There
are over a thousand wtrkmen. The estab-
lishment has a savings bank, and pays inter-
est to these who lay up from their earnings.
Many an employer in enlightened Amer
lea would cut down the wages of
his men if he found they were saving
money But NJ. Decauville has not learned
that smart dodge yet, and so his men are
comfortable AMI happy. A village is built
for the workmen, with a theatre, dear to the
French heart. A neat house with garden
is for each family, rented to them at from

for time occupied, also for number of chill
dren in family. Who ever heart before of

ON account OF the large number of children
be hast Surely, NJ. Decauville must be daft
crazy! After a given term of years the
tenant stops paying rent altogether. When
a faithful employee is disab led by old age, he
is paid a small sum yearly by the mutual
assistance society. Moreover, prizes are
given to workmen who invent Improvements
in machinery. Where else in the world are
there such lunatic and ''unpracticar' ways
of doing things as in this great, rich factory
