GOLD AND SILVER.

Of the $S1, ,411, ,533 in gold imported into this country in the twelve months ending June 30, 1897, $40, ,36O,- 900, or nearly one-half, came from the United Kingdom, SIG, ,444,0 ,0O0 from France, $8,400,000 from British Aus tralasia, $4,454,O00 from Cuba, s3,57O,- 900 from Mexico, $3,554, ,0OO from Ger many, $1,657,000 from Canada and $482,000 from Venezuela. Africa sent only $12,234 all told, which would seem to show that very little South Africa gold is coming our way. Our exports of gold for the same period aggregated s4O,114, ,722, ofLwhich Ger many took $1S,355, ,O0O, France s13,- 9SS,O00, Canada $3,SO1 ,OOO, Hawaii s975,O00. Hayti s92O,0OO and the Unit ed Kingdom only s7S3 3,0OO. The lat ter took s61 100000 in gold from us last year, while it sent back but $11,- 100000. Now she sends us forty mil lions, and takes back less than a mil lion. The free silver campaign of last year must have set England to thinking" She is getting her in- terest from us this year, the same as usual, but she is willing to take it in wheat. It amounts to the same thing, and it saves a gold scare.
 Fer the year above indicated we imported silver coin and bullion to the value of $10,9SO,7O5, and exported s61 ,O31, ,000 We took $S,632, ,OOO from Mexico and sent her s1O9,OOO; the Central American states forwarded us S1,05S,OOO and took pack s26s 900 the United Kingdom sent s59 900 and took s49 ,252,OO0; $3,S27, ,O0O went to Hong Kong; $2,9S7 ,OOO to Japan; s1.- S33,O00 to China, and .s1 ,632, ,OOO to France. Germany only took s6.39O of our silver, while she sent us s12.- 573. What does England do with all of the silver she gets from us? She coins no new silver, but she manages to handle most of our silver product and most of Mexico's. The white metal is sent to India and beyond to purchase Of silver-using countries.

The longest distance over .which the

The longest distance over Hwhich the human eye has been able to read in telligence by direct vision is 183 miles between Uncompahgre Park in Colorado and Mount Ellen in Utah. Between these peaks the communica- tion has been uninterrupted for an hour or more on several occasions. The first is 14,30O feet in height and Mount Ellen is 13, 400 feet above sea level. Previous to this the longest distance at which flash signals were read was 16S miles between Algiers and Spain. This feat has been ac- complished by the United States coast and geodetic survey, which is now en- gagged on making, in conjunction with representatives of other nations, a new measurement of the earth. The observers on the Pacific coast have been able to signal from Mount Shasta to Mount Helena, a distance of 190 miles, but have never been able to get a response. The rotundity of the earth prevents flash signalling at a much greater distance, even were the atmospheric conditions perfect, which they rarely, if ever, are over so wide an expanse of air.

THE REVOLT IN INDIA.

The fact that the British have al ready on the northern frontier of In dia nearly 600O0 soldiers, though the revolt in that quarter began only a little more than month ago, shows that they are losing no time in taking measures to suppress it. They fully realize that it is a formidable move ment and is likely to become more formidable unless dealt with quickly. It's formidable character is suggest ed by the report that there are fully 47,OOO of the Afridis alone, whom the Mad Mu11ah has stirred to revolt, and there are hosts of other Hillmen ready to join in the movement. Of the British force on the frontier not all are British soldiers, many being native troops. The scene of their op- erations is thus described by writer in the New York Herald:
 The theater of war at the present moment is centered on the Samana range. North and northwest of the Samana, or Samanagarh, as the range is sometimes called, are valleys oc- cupied by the Orakzai tribe; while the Miranzai valley, to the south. is part of the British district of Ko- hat. After the chastisement of cer- tain sections of the Orakzias in 1891, two strong forts were constructed on the Samana-one at Gulistan, the other at Mastuj. The latter is known as Fort Lockhart, after the disting- uished General Sir William Lock- hart; while that at Gulistan bears the name of Sir Louis Cavagnai The rest of the Samana range has an ele- vation of from six to seven thousand feet, and is fairly broad and flat; thus offering an excellent site for frontier posts. The Pathan clans ever since the annexation of the Punjaub, in 1850, have resisted British influence throughout northwest India The Pathan race, to which the disaffected tribes belong, is generally taken tc include the Afghans proper, as well as the dwellers along the Indian frontier.
 Though I11ndus, as a rule, are re- garded as poor soldiers these rebels are all good fighting men, being a very different race from the natives of central India. Of course their equipment is not by any means equal to that of the British troops nor are they well led, and therein lies the great advantage of the British in dealing with the revolt. But there is evidently a host of the rebels, an6 they are fanatical, being led by the Mad Mullah to believe that they are fighting for their religion The Mul. lah, otherwise known as Najam-ud- din, is one of great Influence with tre tribesmen. For some time he has been sowing the seeds of sedition among the northern tribesmen and now the harvest is being reaped.

WHEAT WILL REMAIN HIGH.

It is the opinion of Government Crop Statistician Hyde that there is no ground for fear of any material cheapening of wheat until another crop is in sight. The shortage in the European crop is now estimated to be 119 100000 bushels, and the latest adVlces from our northwestern states and Canada indicate that their yield will not come up to the earlier esti,
 mates. The Chicago Times-Herald says: Leaving out of view the fact that the burden of supply for Europe will fall more largely than usual up on the United States, it is evident from the government reports that there would in any case be a demand for larger surplus than can be sup piled by this years crop. The slight probability of any cheapening in the price of wheat until another crop is

The death of Arroyo, the would-be assassin of President Diaz, was swift and tragic. It characteriZes Mexican methods of dealing with political as- sassins as severe and uncompromis- ing. The people executed justice up- on the man who attempted to take the life of their beloved president. In such a country anarchy could not thrive. Mexico has endured revolu- tions and rebellions, the people are naturally treacherous, but they detest anarchy and despise the political as saSsin.
