WHAT DOES IT MEAN

English Papers Discuss the Call For u
Cabinet Meeting.
a LONDON, Oct. All the afternoon
papers gravely discuss the summoning
OF q cabinet council, and it is generally
suggested as being connected with some
serious difficulty with France. The
Liberal organ, The Westminster Ga
zctte, handles the subject very tenderly
and is evidently anxious not to excite
public opinion, and thereby embarrass
the government. On the other hand the
Conservative mouthpieces discuss the
matter more fearlessly and warn France
against encroaching upon British
right The Pail Nall Gazette says:
which secasi tates the con-
vening oK d cabinet council must be
very sudden, as the ministers were dis
persed ON their holidays 1t is quite
possible, however, that propositions
have been made to settle the various
differences. But, while we gladly
recognize the incident admits of favor.

the fact that it is quite possible that the
new and unexpected cause of friction

due to . Dispute With France.
The Globe also expresses the belief
that the hurried calling of the cabinet
council is due to disputes with France,
adding:
1--WE believe that there is no ground
for public alarm or suspicion. But we
cannot surrender any part of England's q
rights, or shirk any part Of her duties.
Our strained relations with France are
not matter Of % days growth, nor
connected entirely with Madagascar.
We have points Of contact with the
French throughout the world, and
each is possible OF having for
tered irritation which may easily
become strife. It is certain
that the tame way i'm which we have
allowed ourselves to be outwitted in the
far East during the last year, and the,
manner in which we have stood by
while France partitioned our heritage
in Siam, has done much to persuade the
more ignorant or hot headed French
men that England is not so very terrible
after all.
The news of the blockade OF the
Island of Madagascar sets at rest all
doubts as TO the immediate business OF
the cabinet council. The ministers
have decided upon resolute course of
action. and the public will await with
anxiety the notice OF their decision.

the lumbermen and the railroad COM
panies.
General Andrews Address.
The first address to the conference
was delivered by General Andrews of
st. Paul. He said that New Hampshire,
Maine and New York had established
forestry commissions, whose business
required them to look closely after
forest fires, and to generally care for
timber lands.
America could and ahould adopt ., ,fexn
simple methods for caring for timber
lands, and q perfected system of FIRE
prevention would grow ont of expert
ence. Wisconsin, Minnesota and other
timber states should take hold promptly
and vigorously. Agitation should 20
ON and information be diffused until
state legislatures and finally congress
would take hold of the work.
