CANaDA'S MILITII.
It's Gradual Separation from tho British
Army.

It's Gradual Separation from tho British
Army.
MONTREAL. June g. Tho discomfort with the
way in which the appointment to the chief
command Of the military forces OF Canada is at
present made Is finding expression at last in
Parliament Col James Domvilie. m EN- Der for
Kings county. In the province OF New Bruins
wick. is introducing bill at Ottawa author
izlng the nomination OF q Canadian officer to
the post Of General commanding the Canadian
militia. and his action meets with almost uni
versal approval. Ever since the British Gov
ernment assumed the right to appoint the su-
peror in command OF tho militia of Canada
there has been chronic dissatisfaction among
oil ranks with the way In which the command
was exercised. and the last two incum bents OF
the Office retired from 1t well pleased to escape
from the inccssant friction and unpeasantness
encountered in the discharge Of their duties.
They. however. had sufficient prudence to
abstain from openly proclaiming that the
whole object Of their mission was to mako the
Canadian militia an adjunct OF the British
Army for imperial purposes. as Major-Gen.
Hutton has done. 1t Is this that has deter
mined Canadians that their militia must be
commanded in future by q Canadian RESPONSE
BILE solely to the Canadian Government. and
not Thy a stranger exercising his authority
under a mandate derived from the other side
OF the Atlantic.
ACanadian writing to one OF the papers gives
expression to the general feeling on the su b.
ject in way that will commend itself to Amer-
dams who have distinguished themselves In
| the armies Of other countries, he says:
We have to-day our general stan school
| own officers. II they can command brgades
why should they not be Generals OF brigade
| Why this continued inferiority i'm posed on our
! military men2 We are he only people on the
American continent subjected TO this humiia
| ton. and Col Domvles bill will put an eud to
| it, for the General commanding our militia
| will necessarily have that grade"
| As to, Col. Dom'ville himself no one can

Tho next large agglomeration OF Mussul-
mans under the British flag is in Africa in
the Niger territories and the West Coast
protectorate The total population Is cal
culatcd at about 1000, 900, OF which the
larger number are fanatical followers OF
the prophet of Islam. They are, however,
without any but very rudimentary educa-
tion, and to meet the deficiencies in this re-
poet 1t Is proposed to establish at some
point on the West African coast, probably
at Sierra Leone, a central educational in
stitution for tho higher training of Mo
hammedan youth, somewhat similar to that
about to be established at Khartoum in
memory OF Gen. GORDON. The object of
the institution would be to supply Moham-
medan teachers OF the English language in
the Niger States, and so bring about com
mon literary intercourse between the
Mussulman teachers and students on the
Nile and West Coast in tho English Ian
guage, Us there Is now in the Arabic.
The results OF such institutions as that
projected in West Africa, and actually
begun at Khartoum, cannot fail to be far
reaching. Under their teachings, coupled
with that OF the numerous Mussulman edu-
tional influences in India. bond OF union
would be created between all Mohamme-
dams under the British flag by means OF
the English language that should be pro-
ductive Of effects OF great consequence to
the progress and civilization Of the Dark
Continent and on the Mussulmans Of the
Ottoman Empire
Already the tish-Mussulman influences
are making themselves felt in many ways
In Turkey. and quite recently the British
Government found 1t necessary to intervene
on behalf Of British Indian Mussulmans
against the extortions practiced on them
during the pilgrimage to Mecca. To the
Sultan the presence OF British Mussulmans
at Mecca and their influence on his own
subjects have for many years been a matter
OF great concern, more particularly on ac-
count OF the disaffection always moro or
less active In Arabia. In the natural Or
der Of events there appears every likeli-
hood that another generation will witness
great changes in the political and material
conditions Of the Mohammedan world, and
1t is quite certain that the direction they
may take will be under the guidance Of the
| educational establishments and influences
to which allusion has been made.

Progressive Mohammedanism.

The fact that there arc now not far from
1870, 900, 900 Mussulmans under the British
flag certainly entities England to be called
the greatest Mohammedan power in the
world The Mussulman population Of India
alone is estimated to be about 10000, 600
and is steadily increasing, not only by
natural growth, but by accretions from the
Hndoos. To such an extent is this going
on that it has brought forth cry of alarm
from many leading Brahmins who see in
the tendency OF their people to accept tho
doctrines OF the more militant faith the
approaching end Of their own influence
Among the things that seem to attract
the Brahminical Hindoo most to Moham-
mechanism is the absence Of caste and the
equality OF all within tho faith. 1t is not
difficult to understand this when the con-
tempt with which the higher castles regard
the lower isconsldered and the humiliation
ever present OF the lower castles and sub
castles. The aggressiveness OF Mohamme-
danism as compared with the passivity Of
Brahminism also counts for much, and will,
no doubt, count for more as education pro-
crosses in India, and the necessity for
greater cxertion in the struggle for life

Columbia,

The yacht Columbia, launched yesterday
in defence OF the America Cup, is to revive
the glories Of international racing we trust
VIGOROUSLY. In the year in which the mod
est Puritan outsailed the Genesta competi-
ton for the honor of furnishing cup de-
fender was divided among four parties,
represented respectively by the Puritan,
Priscilla, Oracle and Bedouin. In the May
flowers year there were again four, own
ing the Mayhower. Puritan, Priscilla and
Atlantic. In the Volunteer year there were
two, with the Volunteer and Mayflower.
In the Vigilant year there were four. bring
ing out Vigilant, Colonia, Pilgrim and Jubi-
lee. In the Defender year there were two,
with the Defender and Vigilant. But this
year there is but one the Columbia and the
Defender, the only other boat thought Of
in comparison with the former, belonging
to the same owners.
While cup defending ownership has
shrunk, however, the expenditures have
grown without ceasing. The Defenders
bill would have eaten up that for several
Puritans and the Columbia's will probably
exceed the Defenders.
OF those two boats the cost is likely to be

ure tho recompense that has accrued and
is coming to tho owners OF these craft in
return for their victory, but what countless
millions worth Of fun and satisfaction the
American people have had out Of them
They will have millions more this summer.
We shall have trial races that will make
delightful yachting season, independent Of
the coming cup race; thousands will sec
that, and two continents will wish they
were there to do the same.
Bigger and bigger and bigger have been
our cup defenders, and bigger and bigger
and bigger have been their rig, and faster
and faster and faster have they sailed. The
Columbia Is the biggest Of all. She is to
have the biggest wings, and we have no
shadow OF doubt that she will be the fastest
Good luck to her, and our compliments to
her yachting fathers.
Remembering the mathematical precision
with which the HERREsHoFFs have made
the new boat better than the old, We may
predict with unqualified confidence that the
Columbia will beat the Defender, marvel
lous as the latter is. She will, in all reason
able probability, keep the cup but that is
spoken aside for we will welcome the
Shamrock with all the open-minded respect
that the good spirit OF her owner and tho
known skill OF her designer deserve.

Is A MONARCH A vAGABoND7
Curious Instance of Alleged Lese
Majestic I'm the City of Dant-
zig, Germany.

Here is a story of lese majestic in
Germany which'i is the oldest yet. AT
Dantzig a barrack attendant named
Luka, whose functions were of a me-
NAL description, was nicknamed ''Mon-
ARCH by the soldiers. Elsewhere, no
doubt, such cognomen would confer
honorable rank, even though no civil
list were attached to it by the state.
Among Herr Luka's comrades, how
ever, and according to the phraseology
of the city of Dantzig, to be monarch
is counted anything but an honor. In
various regions of West Prussia the
word denotes tramp, vagabond, loiterer
or vagrant. Herr Luka, although
doomed by nature to humble post in
life, Indignantly refused to be dubbed
q monarch.
$50 far as / know" said Luka, -" a
monarch is vagabond."
Some evil-minded enemy overheard
the remark, reported him to the agents
of the law as having insulted the kings
majesty, and Luka was dismissed his
appointment. On the case coming up
for trial the public prosecutor demand
ed penalty of six months imprison-
ment and one years loss of honor and
civil rights. Happily for the defend
ant, there was an astute judge upon the
bench, imbued as much with common
sense as with knowledge of the law.
He pointed out the significance of the
word monarch" in west Prussia, and
was satisfied that the defendant, I'M
derstanding only this use of it, was
merely vindicating his own personal
honor. This was not lese majestic. He
therefore acquitted the defendant and
mulcted the prosecution in costs.-Chi-
cago Times-Herald.

THE SULTAN'S GIFTS.
Some That Were Sent to President
Van Buren, and Caused No
End of Trouble.

On the seventh day of the month of
Schawwal, in the year 1854 of the He
gira-which is the Arabian way of writ
ing December IS, 1s39-the sultan of
Oman, whose name was Seyyid Saood,
Bin Sultan Bin Ahmed, addressed a
gracious letter to "his excellency, Mar
tin Van Buren,, president of the United
States of North America" in which he
informed the president that he had
sent by the royal ship "Sultanee" a few
trifies as token of friendship and good
feeling. These trif1es consisted of two
Arabian horses and their groom, one
bottle of altar of roses, two pieces of
gold, five demijohns of rose-water, one
Persian carpet, one gold ornament with
a silk tassel, four camel's-hair shawls,
one gold-mounted sword, two large
pearls, a string of $50 pearls, one gold
plate, one bottle of diamonds, one gold
snuff-box studded with precious stones,
and one box of mixed precious stones
and diamonds. Under the constitution
the president is prohibited from accept
ing a personal gift from any foreign
state or power, and as the sultan's gift
had arrived in New York and the COM
mander of the "Sultanee" would not
leave without presenting his masters
offerings, an embarrassing complied
ton was the outcome. The matter was
finally referred to congress, and after
three months of correspondence, red
tape, diplomacy and legislation the
sultan's Christmas presents were final
" accepted; and then the president was

Uncle Sam was given the further
trouble of finding suitable place to

tire collection in n bag and was only
caught after long chase. - Ladies'
