RUSSIA IN CHINA.

Russia looms up larger in northern China week by week. The demand which the czar's government has made for quid pro quo in case the Anglo German loan is agreed to shows that it fears neither Japan nor Eng and, or even both together with Germany thrown into the balance besides. It will not abandon Port Arthur, it has secured a naval post on the Corean coast not far from the Japanese terri tory, and it is not pleased to permit the loan negotiations now so far ad- vanced to culminate in a diplomatic triumph for it's rivals The next step taken in this eastern affair will be pe- culiarly interesting. Russia had it's hand forced by the German seizure of Kiao-Chiao, and for a period after wards was inclined to back tip it's pre- text to rights in China and Corea by diplomacy rather than by prompt de- mands. But it now has a good sized fleet on the scene, together with many new troops, and it is apparently de- termined to assert itself boldly

CANADA'S MINING REGULATIONS

It is not likely that the detachment "a large one, by the way-of Cana dian mounted police sent into the new gold regions has been called for to prevent any international trouble. The American miners in that part of the world are pretty well accustomed to going slowly when taking up new claims, and they cannot intend to pre- sent any formal opposition to the Ca nadian authorities. Yet why between two hundred and three hundred more men should be needed, all armed as troops, in the Klondyke or on the road to it, is not something to be easily ap- prehended. The news has come that the customs officials on the British side of the line have established them selves at the summit of the passes leading from Skaguay, and it is just possible that the crowd of miners now waiting for ingress beyond will be dis inclined to show due respect to these government powers. But there could be no reason for military expedition to the spot, any more than there could be for one to Dawson. One thing, however, must be admitted To most Americans the mining regulations of MT. Sifton will be as disagreeable as any which the Transvaal government ever enforced at Johannesburg.

Judge John N. Hendren, the last treasurer of the confederacy, has just died at Staunton, Va, aged 75 years. When one recalls the troublous times in which the financial officers of the southern government found themselves toward the end of the war. it seems strange that Judge Hendren survived as long as he did. Some men would have worried themselves to death be- fore the expiration of their term of office, But then, perhaps the duties of the treasurer were light. Surely he could not have had a large amount of funds to take care of along in sixty four and 'sixty-five The burden rested chiefly on the men who had to devise means of raising revenue.

AS TO CUBA.

As the Spanish hold on Cuba seems to relax, the old question arises as to the ability of the Cubans to take care of themselves. How will these de scendants of Spaniards and negroes provide an appreciably better govern ment for the island than Spain has provided? If the Cuban republic is eventually set up, what assurance have we that the old abuses will not crop out in other forms? The experience of other Spanish-American republics is not reassuring. Most or many of them have been resolved into the petty bailiwicks of ambitious dictators, if not permanently, at least for a con- siderable portion of their history But then, that is not the primary consider ation. What the American people de- sire to see is the re-establishment Of peace in the island. With the sol diers of Spain withdrawn it will renew in time it's former productiveness. Its inhabitants at least will not starve at the rate of hundreds per day, as, we are assured on what we might wish was less persistent authority, they are starving at present. Under no form of Spanish or Cuban rule is it likely to be as productive as it might be other wise, but that is another story.

The condition Of the winter wheat continues to be reported generally un- damaged. In California there have been rains, so much wanted, which en- sure that the crop will be saved. In Michigan the majority of the replies received by state officials who were in search of information have brought the news that the fields are not injured. In other parts of the belt the same story is told. Thus everything points to a large crop, which, although it will re- duce prices, will be for the best.
