The German Colonial Society, pre-
sided over by Duke Albrecht, held a
meeting at Cassel last week, and sent
a memorial to Chancellor Hohenlohe
declaring that the interests of Ger
many require that the government
should earnestly and cordially re-
spond to the friendly declarations of
the people of the Transvaal, and that
measures ought to be taken at once
by Germany to promote friendly re-
lations with the Beers and strengthen
their independence. The speakers of
the meeting were unanimous in de-
nouncing the land greed of England,
and in diIating upon the necessity of
giving the Transvaal free access to
the sea.

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.

The Summer School for teachers,
which commences in Barton, Monday,
July s, and continues two weeks,
promises, like the schools held in this
county for several years past, to be
of great interest to the teachers in
this part of the State. The attend
ance and interest in the schools since
their start has steadily increased,
while their use as school of training
for teachers has been maintained or
improved. This year, while some
new teachers have been engaged, it
has been the intention of the manag-
ers to supply as good, or better, in
structors than those used heretofore.
Mr.. Fletcher, agent of the State Board
of Education of Northampton, Mass,

thing of what the lines of study will
be: School management, reading,
arithmetic, geography, history, ma
ture study, drawing, language, moral
instruction, practical arithmetic. Les
sons in the courses mentioned above
Will not only instruct the teacher, but
will show her how to teach and to
manage classes in all the branches,
and more than that. The school has
been made useful and enjoyable by a
class of lectures, entertainments, and
tse~G holidays, with excursions to
Menphremagog, Willoughby, etc.
The tuition is low intended to be such
as to meet the expenses only. For the
term, $500; one week, ,$1.25; per day,
25 cents. Board will be furnished for
the full term for $500; $3.50 for one
week; $1.OO day at the hotels. Ar

dial welcome to the school and will
assist what they can in making it a
success.

The Manitoban government has re-
fused to obey the order issued by the
Governor General at Ottawa to re-
store the parochial schools. 1t de-
clares that these schools as they ex-
listed up to 1890 ( a period of nineteen
years. were inefficient and their pu-
pills remained illiterate; the provin-
cial government does not feel justified
in expending public money in the in
terests of illiteracy. It further de-
clares opposition to separate schools
on the ground that Anglican, possibly
Mennonite and even Icelandic schools
may hereafter be demanded To COM
ply with the order, which issues from
the Privy Council, would seriously
embarrass the present educational
system and stimperil the development
of the province 1t is difficult to see,
however, how the Manitobans can
maintain their noble stand, and con-
tinue in their present relation 10 the
federal government.

Secretary Olney has made peremp-
tory demand on Spain for the imme-
diate payment of a million and half
dollars due on the Mora claim. An
tonic Maxine Mora was an American
citizen owning valuable sugar proper
ty in Cuba. During the insurrection
in that island it was seized by the
Spanish Government, and, in the alb
sence of its owner, he was condemned
and the property confiscated. Before
Spain admitted it's error in thus treat
ing an American citizen and his prop
erty, there has been collected from
the estate nearly 50 ,500,000 When it
was seen that the United States Gov
ernment was determined that there
should be a settlement, the Spanish
Government offered a compromise.
In place of the absolute Indebtedness
to Mora, which was admitted by the
offer of compromise, Spain agreed to
pay sum of 81, 100000.

there were 926 strikes in England dur
ing 1894. Of this number, II per cent
ended successfully, IA per cent were
partly successful, 81 per cent were
failures, and Is per cent had no def
mite result. Generally speaking, there
fore, the workmen got the worst of it,,
and the cause of labor lost more than
it gained.

finds himself in serious trouble, and
so does the nation, unless, indeed, it
is in a position to derive compen-
sating revenue from other sources,
such as it's merchant shipping or it's
foreign investments. A balance of
foreign trade running steadily and
heavily against such country as the
United States is an unwholesome
and dangerous symptom. In our
national experience it has never once
failed, in the long run, to be followed
by serious national disaster.

The report of the Commissioner of
Education for 1894 shows that there
were 15, ,53O, ,298 school children in the
country last year. This enormous
number cannot be equaled by any
nation in the world in proportion to
size, and it is not odd that the public
sshool system is called a bulwark of
national safety.

The product of fine copper in the
United States in 1894 was $4,000, 900
pounds, and its average price for the
year was 915c. The copper miners
should buy microscope and search

metal. That would compel the United
States to buy all the copper in the
world at double the market price.

During the eleven months ended

1000, 900, and by significant coin
cidence, our imports increased in that

or, in other words, to the advantage
of foreign countries at the expense of

A New York clergyman thinks he
has discovered a sure method of ex-
terminating mosquitoes, and his ex-
periments at Oak Island Beach are
said to have been quite successful. He
thinks that mixing crude kerosene oil
in the waters of the ponds will drive
away the nuisance. This may be a
panacea, but many persons would
prefer mosquitoes to such remedy.

The opening Of the North Sea at
Kiel last week was celebrated by the
booming of cannon, the flying Of flags,
and professions, both naval and mill
tary. The need Of this canal has long
been recognized, and it has been COM

of the engineers, or for about $37, ,000,-
600. 1t is 81 miles in length, and it's
breadth about 200 feet. The largest
vessels of the German navy can sail
through it from sea to sea in one tenth
Of the time required to sail around
the peninsula. A vessel sailing from
Hamburg can reach the Baltic with
saving of 425 miles, and a vessel from
London can save 238 miles. The first
Importance of this canal to Germany
is doubtless a military one, but it's i'm
portance as a highway Of commerce is

The United States supreme court
has rendered decision which sets at
rest long disputed question. 1t has
decided that when man is on his
own premises and is attacked, it is
not his duty to get out of the way of
his assailants, but he may at once re-
sist the attack, and if his assailants
have threatened to kill him and come
armed for that purpose, he may kill
them. 1t is, in point of fact, new
law of self defence and as such is of
wide significance and Importance.

The attempt to beat Thomas B. Reed
out of the speakership, if there be
truth in the report that an attempt is
being made, will undoubtedly fail. In
ability, parliamentary dexterity and
standing he is the first Republican in

in that body can dispute his suprema-
cy. Mckinley, who was a leading
aspirant for the speakership in 1880,
and Burrows, now in the sonate, @hc
has been Reeds chief lieutenant in
the past four years, being out of the
house, nobody is left in it who rises
anywhere near his level as a leader.

caucus on the speakership question.

The first shipments of American iron
ore to Europe were made few days
ago-150 tons from the mines at Port
Henry, to the furnaces of the Rhenish
and Westphalian iron dihtricts, in
Germany. "The enormous develop
ment of the basic process in Europe
and notably in Germany" says the
IRON Age, "has created demand for
ores high in PHOSPHORUS. The ore
taken out at Port Henry mines is of
the desired quality, containing about
LIS per cent Of PHOSPHORUS, with
about 81 per cent of iron. It is quite
probable not only that further ship
ments to Germany will be made, but
also that other ores suited for use in
the basic open earth process will be
exported from the same mines to Eng
land.

THE ARMENIAN TROUBLES
Excitement in London Over Refusal Of Turks
to Accept Reforms

LONDON, June 5.-There was much
excitement in London about the foreign
office on receipt of official dispatches con-
frming the dispatches from CONSTANT
nople announcing that the Turkish gov
eminent had refused to agree to reforms
{ in Armenia which were demanded by the
representatives of Great Britain. France
and ussia. All the foreign officials. in
Guiding the secretary of state for foreign
affairs, the earl OF Kim berry, were at
their posts last night and have assem- bed
again at the foreign office today. There
is strong belief in well informed circles

order to gain time. The sultan is invisi.

which is now being observed. Conse
quently the .powers, it is asserted here,
will now address a strong note to the
porte and in addition will back this up by
naval demonstration. The crisis in the
east is regarded on all sides as being
grave, and this feeling is intensified by
the news from Constantinople today tell
ing of the panic at Jeddah. threatened
attack of the Bedouins and the flight of
Europeans who are seeking safety on
board the vessels in the harbor 1t is
freely predicted here that an outbreak IS
inevitable. There is no question of the
powers abating their demands in any
form, although there is a growing belief
that Russia is backing Turkey in the lat
ter's refusal to agree co the reforms de-
manded for Armenia. The full text of
the dem ands of the powers will be pub
llshed here today. 1t makes over 5000
words and the main points of it have
already been cabled.
The note of the powers in this connec-
tion makes twelve distinct suggestions
or demands in regard to Armenian re-
forms, as follows:
First-The eventual reduction of the
number of vilyaets.
Second-Guarantees for the selection Of
wallis or governors.
Third-Amnesty for Armenian political
prisoners.
Fourth Return of Armenian exiles to
their homes.
Fifth-Final settlement for common
law crimes.
SIxth-The inspection of prisons.
Seventh-The appointments OF high
commissioner to supervise the reforms
Eighth-The creation OF a permanent
committee OF control at Constantinople.
Ninth-IndemnIty to Sassoun and other
victims of the recent massacres.
Tenth-Regulation of religious conver-
sions.
Eleventh maintenance of the Aimen-
ians' rights and privileges.
