Nothing Compets With Gold.

Before condemning mining ventures
the investor should remember the
one exceedingly important feature, that
a market will never have to bc sought,
particularly in mining for gold. The
product can always be turned into coin
Of the realm. and its addition to the
combined wealth Of the people is the ad.
ition Of just as much value, over and
above the cost Of production, without
the expenditure Of large sums Of money
to meet the never ending competition in
trade, M is the case in industrial enter
prises. There is no competition in min

ENGLAND AND INDIA.
Asia Big Enough to Satisfy British
and Russian EN- pires.

London, Aug. 13.-Lord George Hamilton Sec
retary of State for India. in presenting the an
nual statement of the Indian budget in the
House Of Commons to-day told an encouraging
story of the progress and stability Of India's
finances. He pointed out that, there had been
substantial surpuses in the last three years,
amounting this year to SIS 25000O This fnan-
cial situation would enable the government, he
said, to reduce the salt tax by % per cent. and
make considerable remissions in the income tax.
Lord George Hamilton said the fears regard
ing scarcity of food in India this year might
be dismissed. He considered that the proposal
that India should contribute to the cost OF the
troops to be kept in South Africa was reasonable.
They had to face the fact that Russia ad-
vancing in Central Asia, and take into account
the difficulty that would attend the transporting
of troops from Great Britain TO India in certain
eventUalities Russia had steadily consolidated
her power and strength in Central Asia, but he
believed. with Lord Beaconsf1eid that Asia
big enough to satisfy the aspirations of the two
nations.
Therefore. he was not jealous OF the advance
of Russia. but no responsible minister should
ignore the undoubted fact that as Russia in
creased her strength so she increased her power
of mobilization. Every single military man had
been compelled to admit that in certain eventu-
alities large reinforcements must be sent to
India, while every naval man expressed the
be combination or other difficulties in the way
of guaranteeing the transport of troops from
Great Britain to India. He regretted that the
Indian Government did not take the same view.
If VicerOy CuTZOu and Lord Kitchener. the
commander in chief in India, both maintained
their objection to the scheme, 1t would have to-
be dropped
Lord George Hamilton commented on the sue
of the currency policy introduced four years
ago The f1uctuaton in the exchange value of
the rupee during that period had been only one
half of per cent, and the fuctuation during the
last year only one-quarter of L per cent. The
Indian merchants had benefited enormously by
the stability Of the exchange.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS IN HOUSE OF LORDS.
Venezuelan Settlement Hoped FOr-Watch-
ing the Balkans.

London. Aug. 13.-Answering various ques-
tions on foreign affairs raised by Lord Spencer,
the Liberal leader in the House of Lords to-day,
Foreign Secretary Lord Lansdowne said there
was reason to hope that the difficulties in the
way of a settlement of the claims against Vene-
zuea, by arbitration at The Hague, would soon
be removed.
Definite instructions he declared, had been
given by the British Government that the
Chinese journalists at Shanghai should not be
surrendered to Chinese justice.
The government was anxiously watching
events in the Balkans and would utilize every
opportunity of mitigating the troubles there.
Sir Nicholas OConor, British Minister at Con-
stantnople. telegraphed TO the government
August that the Turkish Government was
fully alive to the danger of permitting eXcesses
by the Turkish troops. and was Furnishing and
imprisoning the offenders.
Lord Spencer further called attention to the
governments agreement with the Cunard
Steamship Company, which was approved by
the House of Commons yesterday. and moved
for return of the statistics relating to previous
subsidies
Lord Selborne defended the agreement on
naval and economic grounds. It kept, he said,
at least one of the great transatlantic lines
under British control, and 1t had not merely
naval, but wider national aspect. Lord Spen-
GERS motion afterward accepted.

PEACE POLICY TRIUMPHS.
New Move May Settle Differences with
China and Japan

London Aug. 14.-"The Daily Mail" this morn

miral Alexieft as viceroy of the Amoor District
it indicates the triumph of NJ. de Wttte the
Russian Finance Minister, and the policy of
peace over General Kuropatkin. the Minister
Of War, and that it is a significant step toward
the settlement of the existing differences both
with China and Japan. The Daily Mail" says
that there has existed for years a sharp division
in the Cabinet the Far Eastern policy, and
that General Kuropatkin and a majority. OF the
ministers insisted that the actual annexation of
NIanchuria should be secured Immediately at
any cost of money or credit On the other hand,
to precpitate hostilities between Russia and
any other power in the East. He is confident
that time only is needed to bring about all that
Russia desires in Manchuria, and Chancellor
of the EIchequer he is anxious to secure the bene
fits of annexation at the least possible cost. So
sharp the dissension between the two par
ties that when General kuropatkin visited the
Far East he aVowed his intention not to set
foot in Manchuria, declaring that it De
Witte's affair and not his. NJ de Witte has
triumphed not only by securing the selection of
vice-Admiral Alexieff. who is the Emperor's
personal friend, but by managing 10 exclude the
action of the Cabinet in Manchurian matters
in the future by making the Vceroy responsible
solely 10 the Car himself. General Kuropat-
kin's forward policy will. therefore, be relaxed
if not abandoned. and NJ. de witte will have
free hand in dealing with the Manchurian ques-
