LONDON. March 26.-Some papers Of
late Lord Beaconfald show that he was
confident OF war with Russia during
the latter stages OF the Russo-Turkish
conflict, and very much disappointed
that it did not take place. In the latter
event Crete, as well as Cyprus, would
have been numbered among England's
possessions.
But his main hope, as is proved by
correspondence with wealty Israelites
throughout the world, was the roman
tic one of inducing Turkey to grant
enlarged concessions to Hebrews then
resident or who should become resident
in Jerusalem. They could never be
come formidable to Turkish power there
it was urged, and no official recognition
OF their status would compel a cessation
Of i'll treatment to which, as visitors or
inhabitants they have been subjected
for centuries by Musselman and Chris
tian alike.

it, homesteads are to be forty, eigh ty or

homestead in each irrigation district
will be determined by reports OF the de-
partment of agriculture as to the capa-
city Of the district for production. For
instance, in fruit growing districts only
the smaller or forty acre homesteads
will be permitted. In the irrigation
districts, where grain must be grown, or
depended upon, from the nature of the
