Canada and tho United 6tatea.

The Canadian press is INDUCING in
minatory and perhaps naturally ill-tem-
pered remarks over the seizure of Cana
dian sealers in Behring Sea. The burden
OF the Canadian warning remind. this
nation that while our internal strength is
sufficient to swallow up any army of iu-
vasion that combined Europe can send
against us, we are, upon the high seas.
at the mercy of any naval power.
This Is true enough; but yet we can
still rely upon immunity from the fact
that war would be As ruiuous for England
as for this nation. The weak point OF the
administration is not 40 much our naval
weakness a. the doubt whether the claim
OF sovereignty over whole ocean Is well
founded. We do not allow Canada to
make any such claim over the Gulf of
Newfoundland; oreven the Bay of Fundv !;
and the American people Is not likely to
place much faith in such a claim over
Behring Sea, especially when it is assert
ed for the benefit of a rich corporation.
Beyond that the United States ought to
possess Intelligence enough to see that the
way to create sentiment In Canada fav-
oracle to annexation Is not to distribut,,
unnecessary kicks to the Canadian people.

The fine system of fire control in the
Edwards Company mills In this city was
given abundant chance to prove its efficacy
yesterday forenoon At about $50
O'Clock when fire was discovered in
the mule room Of the mill
around one of the mule b, ads and for a
short time matters looked rather warm. No
alarm was rung in but the FIRE system Of tho
mills was called into requisition and sub
dued the flames after quite an amount of
water had been used. The damage by fire
was small, but the damage to the frames,
roles, roping, cotton. add other stock will
reach about $500.
