Africa has afforded us startling sur
prise. Ii is the Dark Continent 10
longer. Emerging from tie mystery
which has clungt.0it for ages its broad
lapdscaneS are now omen TO the enter
prfse OF the pioneer l.sdrowsy wealth
in mine and forest Will be DEVELOPED by
hardy settlers. The English and Ger
mans Law claim to immense tracts in
the north. while the Portuguese hoist
their flag on a belt extending from the
Atlantic 10 the lndian ocean in the
south. Railway lines have been par
tally constructed in some places ana
contemplated in many others. Euro
pean nations may come into collision
on account of these rivalries and the
roar of cannon and the tramp Of troops
may vet be heard on the shores Of Vic
toria Nyauza. These are but incidents.
Such quarrels can be settled by dipio-
macy OF guupowder. The fact remains
that Africa is being ofened to COM
merce, TO civilization and to Chris
uanity. The blacks Will retreat. as our
Indians did. before the fatal advance of
the white man. but history has so often
repeated itself IN this particular that
no regrets are possible.

The year 1889, so replete with i'm.
portaut happenings, has furnished a re.
liable test of the newsgathenDg facili.
ties Of the daily journal. In no like
period in modern times have events.
both at home and abroad. been Of Sd
startling n nature. Besides the IN
usual interest attached 10 the important
political and general news OF the wear.
the public has been startled from
time to time by calamities mosl
appalling in character. These have
occurred throughout the civilized
world. but our own country has
been particularly unfortunate in that
way. From the time Of the naval dis
aster IN Samoan waters, early in the
year. to the Minneapolis hoioc mst and
subsequent calamities al the close. The
reading public has scarce been allowed
TO recover from the shock Of one de
plorabie occurrence until confronted by
another, equally startling.

Treasury Estimates.
Now YORK llmaa.l

According TO the estimates Of the
Treasury department the debt state
ment for December will show a reiuc-
ZION for that month of about $1,000 0O0
This makes a total reduction for the six
months since July / Of little over
"a 900 600. OF 81. 100000 less than for
the corresponding period OF 1855 The
reduction for the calendar year 1889
Will. if this estimate be correct. be-
about sSl 100000, OF some $4,000 600
less than for the previous year. There
is no comment required on these com
parative amounts. In each case they
have been determined 10y conditions
over which the executive department
have no serious control. Ia each case
they have been very much larger than
the real interests of the country re-
CURED or justified. The money with
which The debt was reduced was the
fruit of unjust and unnecessary taxa
ton. aud the only honest use TO which
il could have been put was the reduc-
ton of that taxation.

1t does not follow. of course. that the
work Of the conference will be adopted
by the governments represented therein.
Tn. members were only given power TO
recommend TO their respective govern
ments the rules of the road, the code Of
sea signals. and other measures agreed
upon. The right TO accept or REJECT the
recommendations of the conference was
reserved by each power represented.
II is hardly probable, however, that
the careful and paiustaking work OF
the conference will be allowed To fan
to tie ground. The men composing the
conference were those whose recon-
mendations will have great weight IN
any country. The need for a set OF re-
vised rules Of the road at sea and an
improved code of sea signals. has been
long felt and acknowledged. That need
grows great with the increase of fart
sailing steamers and the general extern
sion Of the worlds commerce While
it is not probable that the rules aud
signals recommended by the conference
are perfect. they are certainly better
than those now in use. and common
sense will suggest their adoption.

in itself an escapade, had a political
meaning and a political effect.
The Dukes adventure, so unlike the
ways of the Orleans family, has undoubt-
eddy increased his reputation, and sud
denly made him q parsonage. a French
Minister'S exclamation, "Boulanger has
been loored by a boy y expresses that
side of the situation and the MonarchistS
of both parties are inclined to cling to
him. On Monday, indeed, N. Cazenove
de Pradine, remarkable for his steady
devotion to the Comte de ChamDor6b
moved in the Chamber that the La"
of exile be repealed, declaring lG to
be q negatiOn of the higher law OF
patriotism. The Government proposed
urgency, which the Chamber granted, ana
there was a sharp debate, the Koyallsts
dwelling on the fact that no conspiracy
was afoot, and the Republicans pleading
political necessity and a ratification OF tno
Law of Exile by the subsequent "pleols,
citary" election. The repeal was refused
by 328 to III, the MOnarchical parties
voting together. III a House not quite 1uli'
the scene being unexpected, ana many
Deputies still on leave for the recent SICK
ness. The vote was probably not lnnueh"
ced, but the interest was derpenPd, by a
rumGlr from Madrid that the affair had
been prearranged, the Connie de Paris,
who is in the West Indies, having decided
to abdicate in his sons favour, and there
fore desiring that he should make himself
known to France. This rumOur, though
given in great detail, is not very probable,
the Comte de Paris being a cool man,
quite aware that one can abdicate at any
time, but that it is impossible, should the
heir do anything to destroy his chances, to
recall the act.
Some new dispatches on the Portuguese
Question, published III the Gazette OF Fri.
day. week, contribute much t. the dlScns-
sion. One shows concluSively that the
Portu guese have been warned for two
years, and therefore attacked British
dependantS with full knowledge of what
they were doing. Another contains q
mastery statement OF the case against
arbitration, which is always inapplica0le
after one side has employed force and a
third disposes for ever Of the Portuguese
historic claim. That claim rests on an
allegation that an Emperor of "Nono mo
tapa' in 1880 ceded certain districts to
Dom NunO Alvarez Pereiria, Governor Of
Mozambique. In all probability the En-
pire is q fiction; but at AL events 1t is
certain that no such treaty exists, and
that the person named was not q Governor
of Mozambique in the year stated. More
over, in the Constitutional Charter of 1926,
in which the territory of Portugal is lies
