AS Viewed at Quebec.

Quebec. July 22.-The cablegrams re-
ceived here today from London in re-
gard to the Gaynor- Greene affair are
rather contradictory. At Mr.. Tascherau's
office a cablegram was received stating
that counsel for the accused consented
to the granting Of the appeal. as they
wished to have the matter finally dis
posed of by the priyy counsel.
At Mr.. McMaster's office a cablegram
was received stating that the privy coun-
sci have granted leave TO appeal and
that the lord chancellor had stated the
offense charged was clearly extradita
Bile.
Gaynor admitted TO an Associated Press
correspondent this evening that he and
Green had advised their London solic-
itors Yesterday BY cable to consent to
the petition for appeal being granted. as
they wished to get a Judgment in the
case from the privy counsel. Gavnor does
not believe the lord chancellor expressed
the sentiments expressed to him, as his
loTdship has not vet been called upon
to decide as to- this eXtradita biitv of the
offenSe charged.

For its rapid growth and general utility
recommend 1t in preference to any
other species of eucalypt.
The Victoria Leader of May %, 1903 has
the following relative to this tree;
The sugar gum thrives SO wen IN d
drv climate that the growth is quite re
narkable. Trees (ShOWn in an Illustrated
group measured % feet in height at 4
years and 5 months. Another group OF )
years and months measured % feet hlgh,
and trees in a very fine avenue, half
mile in length at years and months
Old Is feet in height. 1t will be seen
from these figures of actual measure
ments that the trees grew at the rate
Of 6 inches per month, or 6 feet year
since the date of planting, and S very
little growth IS made during the first six
months the subsequent progress must
have been at greater rate. Another
avenue, three-fourths of a mile N length
on the same property contains trees
which at l year and months old meas
ured 9 feet In height. 1t is worthy of re
mark that while all other trees require
the ground to be kept in a state of cul-
tivation for many years, it is only neces-
sary in the case of the sugar gums to
cultivate for one year after planting. 1t
has been Enthusiastically demonstrated by
This experiment that forests Of this hand

difficulty be established on the direst

Cuban affairs. without making any off,
cial statement, let 1t be known that the
only test that would be applied would
relate to the ability of Cuba to repay
the loan and meet the interest. 1t would
be for the buyers of the bonds themselves
to determine whether or not the loan was
sound. for the United States government
did not propose at that stage to enter
into the subject and the bond purchas-

would fix their bids upon that basis. AS
