SUMMARY OF NEWS OF THE WEEK.
wheat in india.

Consul Shaw writes the state Experimentation
Manchester. England, that reports from the
government of India place the area of wheat
lands in that country for 1884 at 20, zoo, 600 acres.
Consul Shaw says: ''The estimated yield from
the above acreage is 1000, Oo0 tons yearly. In
to the $4,000, 600 acres now available
for cultivation in India, tits estimated that with
new railroad lines 1900, 600 acres of good wheat
lands can be opened in the Punjaub alone. A
competent authority gives it as his opinion
that the wheat lands of India are fully equal in
extent to the wheat lands of the United States,
and that the rapidly extending wheat promises
o largely increased whest yield from India in
the future at very low cost. These facts are
important and impressive, and should be duly
considered by our people. As the outlook now
appears, the American markets and those of
the South American states must soon provide
consumers for our American wheat In dis
cussing and adjusting any future commercial
policy in the country this point should be kept
prominently in view.

and Russian War on the Ocean.

A gentleman now in Washington, who was
formerly an officer of the United States navy,
and subsequently served in the Confederate
navy, expresses the belief that should war oc-
cur between Russia and England it will be q
great naval conflict. 'Just now" says thisof-
fcer. Russia is searching the high seas over
for a port. That is the first necessity. And
England is actively engaged in frustrating her
designs. That is the reason OF the activity at
Nassau, Bermuda, and the Canary Islands.
The Russian corvettes arc searching IN every
direction, but you will notice that an English
man. o'-war is in the track of almost every Rus
sian vessel afloat If the South had been able
TO secure a place fer its captured gunboats
there wonld not have been a federal flagship
on the high seas. If we could have tOwed
them in British ports and got pflze money
the naval feature of our strife would have
been a memorable one. Russia is exactly in the
we occupied. She has not an Atlantic
port, and as long as England is active she
never will have one. On the other hand, Eng
land can draw men and means from the whole
world, and is to-day mistress OF the sea. Dur
ing our war the north drew recruits from all
quarters of the earth. We had none because
we had no ports. There il scarcely a spot on
the European map that will not be touched
by England's recruiting service But you Will
notice all the ships sailing the Atlantic are
carrying hundreds of Russians, who are flee
ing conscripts. Eugland's delay signifies that
she is indulging in her old tricks of blocking
Russia's game on the high seas, and when war
is declared it will break out in Il hundred places
at once. Therefore, with the British army
massing in India, and the British navy seeur-
ing the mastery of every seaport what does the
loss of Herat signify? Gladstone knows his
business, and rest assured he il not ueglecting
it in the slightest particular. Which will whip?
England, of course"

was apparent that McKoown's superior condl-

greeted the party on their arrival.
When the presidents train was near Mount
hope station, Md, returning from Gettysburg,
three pistol shots were heard in quick sue
%caesslon, as from a revolver, and the flash of
the weapon was seen within two or three feet
Of the moving train. 1t is probable that some
enthusiast had devised this method of celebra.
ting the passage of the president and
maj the demonstration was only intended as a
salute. 1t created seme amusement and gave
rise to some ~jocular comment among the
passengers, but since rumors have spread
through the city that the president was shot at,
Inc president expressed himself, however, as
having passed a pleasant day and having been
very much interested by what he had seen and
heard upon the battle field of Gettysburg.

The russian man of war Strelok which left
Norfolk, is at New York. Aspecial says, the
arrival OF the Strelok in the North river has
caused a great deal of speculation as to it's
object. A prominent shipping man said: ut
III more than probable that the Strelok has re-
celved secret orders; that war has or will be
declared within a few hours, and has been or
aered to pick up transatlantic steamer. II
is certain that the enterprise is by no means
80 difficult as it looks, and that any Of the
great ferry steamers between New York and
liverpool .is liable to be surprised, The
strelok is not a large vessel, being only 1855
