BELGIUM to-day has eight millions
of inhabitants, and only 100000
voters Sixty years ago the constitu-
tion of the little kingdom was
thought very liberal, but since that
time universal suffrage in some adj

revolution in others, have so changed

Complaints That Promise to Become An
International Question.
OTTAWA, ONT, June John Schultz lieu
tenant governor of Keewatin and Manitoba in
his annual report to the federal government
makes the following references to the alleged
poaching Of American whalers in Hudson bay
I'm reference to what l stated in nv final
report for 1891 l have since received from
Churchill and other quarters fuller in
formation, and hence advise you that,
while American whalers have ceased
to visit that part of Keewatin sea coast
south Of the mouth of Chesterfield
inlet, it is simply because they have exhausted
that area and confined their efforts to the still
more northern Canadian waters of Fox and
other channels, Rowes, Welcome and Lyon in
let's. leaving the more southern waters referred
to, in which they had carried on their operations
without the slightest reference to the distance
from shore, while to enable them to avoid
late navigation Of Hudson straits they
wintered in one of the harbors of Marble Island,
where they traded to the Esquimaux with goods
upon which 10 duty paid, thus violating
the revenue laws of Canada and injuring the
trade Of Canada-English company which
traded goods upon which duty had been paid. :"
1t is said an international question may arise
on this subject.
