FROM PIFTsBURG TO QUEBEC.

We have hitherto recorded with warning
comment from time to time, the various Sifi'S
which have been taken for the diversion or the
export trade from New-York to other ports anu
especially to Canadian ports. The latter is d
matter of course for ii is evident that III
the long run trade lost to New-fork must y"
lost to the United States altogether. There Is
really no other United States port, unless possi-
bly, it be Boston, which can hope TO compete
with this one, save in a few special lines or
trade There has been a movement Of cotton
toward Gulf ports. and of grain toward the
Chesapeake. But incomparably more menacng
has been the movement of all but distinctively
Southern products toward the ST. Lawrence
Men in the United States have been scofing
at the Canadian canal system, and demonstrat-
ing, as they fondly claimed, the impossibility
of diverting any considerable proportion of
trade to that route. But our Canadian friends
and rivals have kept on digging, and the results
now begin to appear.
Announcement was some time ago made of
preparations to divert the grain trade to Mon
treal and Quebec. Those prepara rations are
real. Huge docks and elevators are now being
built at Montreal and two fleets of ships are
being prepared, one to bring the grain from
lake ports down to Montreal. the other to
convey it thence to the European market Now
comes a still more significant announcement
1t is that the Carnegie Steel Company is pre-
pairing a feet Of lake and ocean steamers TO
carry its output from Pittsburg to the European
market by the same route. 1t Is short trip
by rail from Pittsburg TO Lake Erie, and thence
there will be an unbroken water trip to the
foreign market, one broken only by an easy
transfer at Quebec Now. the iron and steel
export trade is not yet as important as that IN
grain. But it is large. and is increasing at a
rapid rate. The significant thing however
is the place of its origin. 1t Is one thing to
send by way of the st. Lawrence the cargoes
which come over the high seas Of the Great
Lakes. 1t Is a different and a far more
important thing thus to divert merchandise
that is produced In the Middle States this side
of Lake Erie. 1t would scarcely seem extrava-
CANT after that for the factories of New-York
and Philadelphia to ship their output to the
lakes TO go to Europe by the st. Lawrence
route.
It may be that this latest warning will he
no more needed than those which have gone be-
fore. If so, the end is assured Every ton of
merchandise that is diverted from this to the
other channel will make it easier for other tons
similarly to be diverted. Every such diversion
is practically confession of New -York's in
ability or ignorance: it's inability to hold its
own in competition with interiors. or its
ignorance of the natural and inexorable laws
Of trade. Nature has given New-York incom-
parable advantages over all other ports of the
Atlantic Coast It is within the power of man
to conserve and to maintain those advantages
or to neglect and to destroy them. The question
which is to be done is one that must speedily
be answered.

SENATOR DAVIS IMPROVING.

ST. Paul. Mimi. Oct. 17.-As the result OF sur
gical operation performed on Sunday Senator Cush-
man K Davis, who has been confined to his house
for several weeks. suffering from blood poisoning
is much improved About six weeks ago. while
campaigning in Maine. the Senator received two
slight abrasions of the skin on the right foot and
ankle, and the dye OF his hose is supposed to have
come In contact with the places. The swelling
and pain gradually increased, until the Senator was
compelled to cancel all of his speaking engage
mentS and take to his bed. The aIIment did nor
yield to treatment and the Senator's suffering has
been so acute that the loss of rest Threatened
nervous collapse. 1t is now believed he is out OF

Here is Jim Ham Lewis traipsing around over

greatness Jim Ham is Washington's respendent

The loyalty Of the Spanish fisherman will not
bear the strain Of any interference with his old
fashioned tackle as the present attitude of the
Galician piscators shows. They have fired on
the Government gunboat, and driven the naval
commandant of the port of Vigo 20 take refuge
on German warship. Innovation in the instru-
ments of their trade which have been about the
same since the days of Strabo and Hannibal
crowds them apparently to the point of insur-
rection, but they will no doubt get over their
prejudces after a while and adopt the new
tackle when they find that the old cannot COM
pete with it. The Basque Breton and French
fishermen of Newfoundland and Labrador had
the same lesson to learn and were equally OBJ
stinate about 1t, but they learned 1t at last and
were the better off. as the Galician malcontents
will be when they do the same thing
