CONSUMPTION OF TOBACCO.

A French scientific journal publish
es some particulars as to the late con
sumption of tobacco, which is de-
creasing in that country, being at the
present time about two pounds per
head of the population annually.
whereas in Holland it is seven pounds,
in the United States, five pounds; in
Belgium and Germany, three pounds;
in Austro-EIungary, two and one-half
pounds, and i'm Canada, about two
and one-fourth pounds. The consump-
ton in Sweden and Russia is about
the same as in France 1.-TWO pounds),
while in Great Britain II is not quite
one and one-half pounds. The same
Statistician is also responsible for the
calculation that the consumption of
matches in Europe is 1000, 100000 in
the course of twenty-four hours, be-
ing on the average, twelve per head
of the population i'm Germany, nine
in Belgium. eight in England, and
only six in France, where they are of
such bad quality that one would have
supposed the consumption must be
proportionately greater than in any
other country.-London Times,

JAPAN BECOMING FESTIVE
CANNOT UNDERSTAND POLICY OF
ENGLAND.
Popular Feeling Wrought to the High
est Pitch by the Partition of China
An Outburst Imminent.

Japan is becoming FESTIVE. For the
first time since the spoliation of CHINA
commenced in earnest, the politicians
and the press are exhibiting symp-
toms of uneasiness which may soon
develop into national outburst that
may force the hands of her statesmen.
That is not surprising. Indeed, 1t
has been matter for wonderment that
the people have, under the circum-
stance so eNasperating for so long a
period preserved their equinimIjN.
When we remember that Japan CON
quered the Liaotung Peninsula and
Wei-hai-Wei, not by diplomacy, but by
the sword. and that she withdrew. I'M
der pressure, that the peace of the
Far East might not be further dis
turbed, il is but natural that sh"
should he indignant at what is now
occurring.
How popular excitement has been
so far curbed and restrained il is un-
necessary to inquire. but Japan has
certainly shown remarkable self con-
troll. Now. however. the barriers are
giving way and soon the populacc Nill
he at white heat. Members of the
Upper House and Members of the
Lower are already giving vent to
their feelings. The Gomiuri. the Ho-
chi. the Jill and the Nippon, have,
with their wide circulations, voiced
the nations anger. and we may ne
sure the public will soon be respon-
sive. Unless the signs are entirely
misleading we are about to witness a
state of excitement unequalled since
the China-Japanese war.
Against whom the agitation will
he mainly directed it is difficult TO
ascertain. There is much Indignation
against Russia, but England also mas
come in for her share of censurc.
From Japanese point of view we
have no doubt the latter's actions
seem unjust. She has declared by the
mouths of her most responsible Min
isters that she will neither take part
in the partition of China nor allow
others to carve up the moribund En-
pire. Russia seizes Manchuria. and
England so far from attempting to
make performance the sequel of the
promise. rejoins by taking Wei-hai-
wei. In reply France renews her de-
mands and Germany like Oliver Twist
clamors for more. \ Japanese may
he pardOned if he finds this conduct
inconsistent. The China Association
at Shanghai certainly does not re-
gard the taking of Wei-hai-wei as in
any sense the fitting method to up
hold EngIand's treaty rights in Man
churia.

already formed; everything regarding
this matter was in a state OF illdecision
and uncertainty. 1t has finally been
decided that existing companies and
regiments shall be filled up to the
strength required. by law before new
ores are formed, sthough there is no
telling whether or no this decision will
be changed.
One Of the stock excuses given in the
past for not making a forward move
ment has been that the volunteers
were lacking in drilling and seasoning.
Why have not the three weeks that
have elapsed since the second call for
volunteers been utilized to prepare the
new volunteers for the work before
them? Three weeks have been wan
tonly wasted, and just when time was
most precious. 1t is such things as this
that have called forth so much criti-
cism and made the people impatient.
They have recognized each day that
matters were not being pushed as rap
idly as they might and should have
been. To have issued call for $4,000
volunteers in time of war, and not to
have taken any steps to recruit them
until three weeks after the call was
issued, shows gross and inexcusable in
competency, and nothing else.

THE INVASION OF CUBA.

Ever since war against Spain was de-
clared the people have been anxious
that the invasion of Cuba should be
undertaken. At last their desire is to
be gratified. Yesterday morning Major
General Shafter sailed from Key West
for Santiago with 1887 men. 1t is
expected that he will arrive at his des-
tination by Thursday.
The war department probably has
good reasons for beginning the invasion
at the eastern end of the island instead
OF the western. There are several rea-
sons why this is the better plan. There
will be less resistance to effectfng
landing than there probably would be
IN the west, where the Spanish are
stronger and better prepared to resist.
By beginning the invasion in the pro-
vince of Santiago the Cuban patriots
can easily rally to General Shafter,
whereas if he had landed west of Ha-
vana or anywhere in it's near vicinity,
1T would have been a difficult matter
for them to have effected a juncture
BY marching upon Havana. from the
west the troops will hardly meet more

IN becoming acclimated Their first
operations will most likely be the in
vestment Of Santiago. With SIMPSONS
fleet at the mouth of the harbor and
Skaters troops in the hills behind it,
the fall of Santiago will scarcely be a
matter of long time; but until its fall
1t is not probable that the march west
ward will be taken up.
When the march westward begins,
the people of the United States be-
lieve that it will be repetition of the
march of the American army from Vera
Cruz to the City of Mexico. They do
not believe that the so-called veterans
of Spain in Cuba are in any way SUI
perior to what the Mexican soldiers are,
and they inflicted defeat after defeat
upon the Mexicans when the odds
against them seemed overwhelming
Heavy fighting in Cuba is TO be ex-
pected and the army of invasion is pre-
pared for it. How anxious will the
people watch for developments and
pray for success.

THE LETTER FAILURE.

The great wheat deal is oyer, and
young Mr. Letter is not Napoleon.
He met a Waterloo, but it was preceded
by no Marengo or AusteriitZ. His op-
erations were bold and brilliant and
made him the cynosure of all eyes for
many months. In America he was the
most prominent figure on the stage
from the time he began his operations
until the war broke out; and his fame
even invaded Europe, where ne was
even given the distinction of being
credited with causing the italian riots.
At home he was credited with having
made millions of dollars and he was
the envy of all who are restless to
become suddenly rich.
Mr. Letters failure is not a matter
of congratulation, no mans is, but it
cannot be said to be matter of re-
gret. He was a great Spectator in
wheat, but all his operations were in
tended solely for his own benefit; and
all the talk about his being the friend
Of the farmer was so much silly drivel
and WAS really intended as homage and
adulation for a man who was supposed
to have made a vast fortune in a re-
markedly short time. Mr.. Letter is
still quantity to be reckoned with in
wheat dealings and he will most likely
return to his favorite pursuit in the fu-
ture, but his name will not be the
power it has been.
So far as the pubic is concerned the
downfall of no Spectator who tries to
corner any necessary product is mat
ter of regret.

IN CAMP.

From various camps throughout the
country complaints of hard fare have
ceme No doubt some have been well
founded, while there is likewise no
doubt that some have been the result
of ignorance of just what camp life
means. The change from home COM
forts to the comparatively hard life of
the camp is a very radical one, AID
lack of appreciation of this fact ac-
counts for much. Camp life at best is
rather hard, but lack of appreciation
of it's conditions only makes it harder.
Many have an idea that the way to
rough it, is to make everything as
rough as possible, but it is very
wrong one; the true idea is to make it
just as pleasant as possible. The man
who makes his bed as soft as c!rcum-
stances will permit, and who takes the
best care of himself in every way, Will
be the one who will be best fitted TO
stand the hard knocks when they come.
Some of the criticisms of the camps
show that some of the officers are
woefully lacking in knowledge of the
first elements. of camping, such as their
neglect to have the men trench round
their tents, to have fires for the burH-
ing of refuse built where the smoke will
blow away from, instead of into the
camp
So far as complaints about food are
concerned, as the campaign progresses
appetite will supply the place of deli
cacies. Campaigning is not picnicking,
but the idea that it is seems to have
possessed some of the volunteers; but it
will not take long for them to adjust
themselves to actual conditions.

go. He took the satchel from the
porter and carried it to the entrance,
where, after protecting her from the
horde of haclmen, he put her and her
baggage on e cross town car and went
back into the station. OF course it
was only what ne was hired to do, but
he did it so nicely that I was greatly

pleased also. There was q troubled
look on her face when she stepped off
