oAACS5 nv HAhS "a GAO ppuuQIQ ALL is III FAVOUR
Of the Democrats
A Reuters telegram of Thursday announces
that the organ of the Premier of Newfcund-
land, Slr William Whiteway, has declared in
favour OF Newfoundland entering the Domin-
ion. Since the terrible fire at st. Johns
IN the beginning of July, public opinion
has been setting In this direction. and the
generous help sent from Canada after The
disaster has strengthened the desire for
union. If this turns out to be authentic.
1t will be good news both to the United
Kingdom and Canada. Our relations with
tue great Colonies are much more east.
ly managed than those with" the small
ones, and the Dominion will gain in weight
anti influence by its new province. We sus-
pect, however, that before long the Dominion
will strongly press for the abolition Of the
French rights over a portion Of the New
foun dland coast, and that this may prove
embarrassing. That question, however, must
take its chance. The important thing is.
that Gre alter Britain should get grouped
into three great communities,-one in Amer.
lea, one in A ~ustralia, and one in South Africa
That accomplished, q race alliance may cease
to be a dream.
At the sitting on Tuesday. Mr.. Finder
Petrie gave a very curious account Of
his excavations Of the temples and palaces
Of Khuenaten, a Liberal" king Of ancient
Egypt, who appears to have been the first
Of the Realists. he inspired a realistic
style of sculpture and painting, and intro
duced realism into every branch Of nrt.
by an astonishing chance we have left
to us a cast from the actual face of the
King Khuonaten, who led this change.
We see IN it strong idealism and obstinaoy
allied with a curious humanism and humour.
His sole principle appears to have been the
following Of reason, living in the truth
as he expressed it in his special motto. He
was a humanistic rationalising despot. Part
Of his living in the truth consisted in
practising "monogamy," and in wCrshipping
the abstract notion Of the SUMS RAYS rather
than the porsonifed sun-god Ra. The mod.
ern @votarles Of realism will regret to learn
that Khnenaten died at thirty, and that his
faith and ideas were swept away by his
ignorant and prejudiood feIlow-oo6ntry-
men.

The evening papers OF Tuesday contained .
report that orders had been iss sued to the
British Garrison to e|yacuato Cairo, retaining
possession emily Of the citadel. The troops dis
placed we're to be enoamped in Alexandria, or
to be sent over to increase the garrison Of
Cyprus, the obvious inforen CO being that the
Government ws1e prep ring for the immedi-
ate evacuation of Egypt. The repo t, which
created some excitement, was emplaticaily
denied from Egypt next,day and was probably
invented to cover some spooula ton IN the
Stock Exchange. There has been no meet
ing Of the Cabinet, no flew protest has been
received FROM France, and although Mr.. La
bouchere ana Sir Charles Dixie threaten a
motion Of mo confidence when Parliament
meets, and make Of Egypt their pre5ext, Mr..
Gladstone is not the man to ALLEVIATE the
Scotch vote under a censure six months hence.
Besides, he is quite aware that on this subject
he can rely on Unionist support, and may
snap his fingers at any hostile demonstration.
Lord Rosebely may :of course, take up once
more the proposals for quitting and neutra-
Using Egypt, but as he will have to include
the Soudanese in them, rapiditr is not to be
expected. There is no native force in Egypt
that could hold the Arabs back six weeks.

The Punlr trouble IS probably over, the
Czar' having disapproved Colonel Yanoff.s
proceedings. Nouosti Fremya Of st. Peters
burg declares that there can be 40 war be-
tween Great Britain and Russia on ao-
count Of The Pamirs, because Russia is not
seeking moro uncultivated territory, Of which
she already has too much, but Ito find an out
let on the Indian Ocean, and thus obtain
free access to the general waterway Of
the world. That is a frank statement, and
as we believe, a true one, but it contains rath-
er d formidable menace. Russia oan reach
the Indian Ocean only in one of two ways
namely, from Herat, ria Candah ar and Be
loochistan, or BY the route from the Caspian
to the Persian Gulf. Her possession Of the
former route would be simply intolorable to
India, which would have to keep a hundred
thousand Europeans always ready for action;
while the latter involves the conquest Of
Persia and the settlement Of the question
whether Euglishmen intend to boar that.
We do not see ourselves why we should dread
Russia on the Persian Gulf, whore she would
be within the range Of British ironclads; but
We very much doubt whether Englishmen in
general take that view. 1t is satisfactory,
however, for the moment to be assured that
in Russian popular opinion, the Panlrs are
valueless.

Great satisfaction has been produced
by the organization Of the land court
and the character Of the judges selected.
Alaska Ia virtually without an organized
government 1t Is difficult TO punish
perpetrators Of outrages, and smugglers
that infest the coast and debauch the
natives. The secretary recommends an
appropriation for . steam police vesselto
run along the coast and among the is
lands to which many Of the fugitivss
escape. Only nucleus Of military or
ganization exists, consisting OF one COM
pany, and the congressional appropriation
for Alaska is now being withheld, 80 that
even the operations Of this small body Of
militia are restricted. Additional COM
misSionerS and deputy marshalB are
earnestly requested and represented to
be necessary, in order to furnish court
facilities.
The international complications from
the killing Of tho seals in the ocean and
in the Behring sea have greatly en-
barrassed the lessees OF the seal islands.
In 1890, no less than $4,000 seals were
taken in the open sea, and more than
that number in 1891. During the last
season, only 1900 seals were killed on the
seal islands, and the diminished number
upon the rookeries shows q terrible waste
OF seal life by the destructive methods
employed in pelagic sealing.

geological survey has been carried on
with great efficiency. In the topographic
branch, 10000 square miles have been
surveyed during the past year, making a
total of 100000 square miles up to the
present time.
The report stated that it has been de-
termined by trisngulation that the sum-
NIT Of Mount st. Elias has an altitude Of
1900 feet above the sea, making it the
highest point on the continent, unless
certain unmsasured volcanoes Of Mexico
should prove to be higher. This great
landmark lies just little to one side of
the boundary between Alaska and Brit
ish America, and viii bear the United
States flag.
The volume Of business handled and
disposed Of by the pension Office during
the past year is shown to have been
enormous. There were on June 30, 1892,
876,06S pensioners borne upon the rolls,
being 199, ,908 more than were on the rolls
at the close Of the last fiscal year. Among
these are twenty-five widows and daugh-
ters Of soldiers Of the revolution, and 1855
survivors Of the war Of 1872 The total
amount expended for pensions during
the year was s139,O956126S, and it is

the work can be formed from the fact
that during the year 5,537, 100 pieces Of
mail were received, and 4,3l6,6l6 pieces
sent out. The total number Of certif-
Gates issued during the year was 311 $50.
The total number Of pensioners dropped
from the rolls was 25,206. The average
annual value Of each pension on the
roll is $1334l. Under the provisions Of
the act Of June q, 1890, many claimants
who were seriously disabled and living
upon charity, but who could not estab-

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
Secretary Noble Submits Report Loaded
With Self-Praise.

Will Do11~4 falSol
WASHINGTON, December 4.-The annual
report Of Secretary Noble to the president
is an interesting document, and covers
fully and in detail the operations of this
department.
In the general land Office on June 80,
1888, there were pending 350,953 final
entries, and the accumulation steadily in
creasing. These have ell been disposed
of. During the present administration,
1896, ,128 agricultural patents have been
issued, against 162,754 in the preceding
four years, representing an excess in
acreage Of 81, ,659, $40 acres. The policy
of making forestries over the western
states and territories has been greatly
advanced during the past year. Reserves
have been created by presidential procla-
nation making an area Of {, 3,252, ,260 acres,
This policy viii be further carried into
effect, and will be most benefcent and
far-reaching in it's results.
The public parks in the United States
under control of the interior department
Yellowstone park, the National park,
the Sequoia national park, U. s. Grant
national park, and the Hot Springs res
ervRtion in Arkansas, excepting the lat
ter, are under guard Of special details
from the army, and are we'll protected
and rapidly gaining in natural beauty
and attractiveness. The boundary line
between the states Of North and South
Dakota has been surveyed from the east
ern end Of the line to the Missouri river,
and the remainder OF the line will be
completed before the close Of the present
surveying season. This line is marked
on monuments Of qusrtizite, and will re-
main one Of the most conspicuous works
of the land Office.
Educational work among the Indians
has been greatly increased and improved
in efficiency. There has been an increase
of IL per cent. in attendance Of children
in the schools, the total for 1892 being
1878 scholars. New Indian reservation
boarding schools have been established
during the present administration, and
more are in progress which it Is antici-
psted will be opened soon. Under the
policy Of Indian allotments, negotiations
with fourteen tribes during the present
administration have resulted in the open
ing up for public settlement of nearly
100000 acres Of land. Other negotia-
tions which are pending will, when rati-
fed, add 100000 acres more
AlIotments Of land in severalty to the
Indians have been made in very large
numbers, and $500, to whom patents
have been issued, have, by operation Of
law, become citizens Of the United States.
The report goes into extensive detail Of
negotiations with the various Indian
tribes, and recites fully the progress of

When the indictments against the seven Al.
