CONDITION OF THE cRoFTERs.

CONDl IlON OF The CROF TIERS.
sport of n Commission Sent to InVesti-
gate-EmigratiOn RecOmn ended.
LONDON, Sept. 24.-The commission
CT appointed to investigate the condi-
ton Of the crofters in the western
islands and highlands of Scotland see
no remedy but emigration for tine inn
poverlshed condition of the people.
They chndemn the islanders for neglect
ing the fisheries, which on the east coast
of Scotland are profitable source of
revenue. They say: 1T is question
of race. The east coast folks are Scan
dinavians by blood, and they take to the
water natul ally. The west coast peo-
pie are Celts, who make poor and
tilnid sailors" A marked difficulty in
the way of emigration is that the croft
ers do not wish to emigrate. They pre-
fer Their native islands, with all their
poverty.
Emigration j. the favorite Tory rem
edy for the evils that attend existing
social conditions in Great Britain. 1t is
not however, the remedy advocated by
the Liberal party, whose leaders pro-
claim that there ought to he room in
England for every Englishman, and the
same with heland and Scotland. Even
some of the Tories, however, are b.
ginning to be frightened by the effect Of
emigration, The Standard declaring
that the birth land is heavily the loser;
for it must be remembered tnat it is the
flower OF our people that go, and the
weak and aged that remain"

LONDON, Sept. G4.-The newly formed
shipping federation now embraces
almost the whole of the ship owning
interests of the United Kingdom. Its
objects are "to deal with labor questions

intimidation on the part of trades or
ganiz ttions or their members; TO
counteract the effects OF a9itntions
against the shipping interests; to deal
with cases of conspiracy, and To IN
demnify ship owners whose vessels are
detained by the authority of, or in con
sequence of the measures taken by the

less associated with shipping are cOa-

play presents some novel features, which
are illuminated by the Hibernian feat
ures and drolleries of Bobby Gaylor in
the titular role. It is interesting and
dramatic, while possessing something of
the grotesque impossibilities of comic.
Placed on the stage with most uuex-
pected wealth of scenic splendor, a host
of color.supplying, movement-giving ac-
cessories, it created a cordial feeling at
once which Mr.. Gaylor's antics soon
converted into great amusement. The
whole company is excellent aud the
beauty and grace of the two principal
young ladies, Jessie Story and Marie
Rene, makes up most amply for their
lack of experience. "A special holiday
