ENGLAND AND SUGAR.
New York Sum-

new 1Ork oun'I
Not only to the British West Indies,
but also to Cuba, the declaration made
by Mr. Balfour in the House of Com
mons with regard TO the sugar bounty
question is a matter of vital interest.
The British Premier admitted that in
1880 the Government received from
the law advisers of the Crown an opin.
ion TO the effect that by discriminating
against the sugar imported from any
particular country England would lose
the benefit derived from the most IA.
yored nation" clause in her CONNER
cial treaty with that country. Let us
note the bearing of this admission on
the agreement reached at the Sugar
Conference.
BY the Sugar Conference held at
Brussels It was agreed that on and aft
er October !, 1903, the countries repre-.
scented would grant no bounties on ex-
part covenanted that she would i'm
pose counteryailing duties upon sugars
imported by her from any countries
that refused to be bound by the agree.
ment. Russia denies that she pays a
bounty on her beet.root sugar when
exported, but England claims that by
her fiscal arrangements she practically
offers an equivalent stimulus to pro-
duction and export. Consequently,
England has announced that unless
those fiscal measures are rescinded
she viii deem herself bound by the
Brussels agreement to impose counter
vailing duties on Russian sugar that
enters British ports after October l.,
1903 That is to say, according to the
opinion given by law advisers, Of the
Crown, she will refuse to give sugar
imported from Russia the same treat.

brought from other countries, and,
therefore, having denied to Russia tho

The cable has served many good pur-
poses, not the least being the oppor-
tunity for the Boston Herald to with
draw from its anti-expansion views
based on the non-continguous territory
theory, II its position is to be judged
from the following editorial comment:
The new Pacific cable makes Hawaii
adjacent territory to all practical in

said TO have been ultimately annexed

FIFTY-SIX LOST LIFE TOP OF MOUNTAIN FELL UPON
 VILLAGE. So Far Only 1e Bodies Have Been Recovered, Most of Them Being Mangled Almost Beyond
 Recognition.

Frank, N. W. T.. April SO-It Is defi- niteiy known that fifty-six persons lost their lives here before daybreak We'd nesday by the sliding of the rocky top Of Turtle Mountain down upon the sleep ing village of Frank.
 Beside killing fifty-six persons. the slide destroyed the plant of the Canadian American Coal and Coke Company. did a vast, amount of damage to the mine and completely devastated about ten square miles of the finest and most pie turesque section of Crows Nest Pass
 Many of the bodies of the dead viii never be found. Some cabins are buried under 15O feet of rock. Although organ ized efforts were made last evening and today to search for bodies. only nine teen have so far been recovered. Most of the corpses were margied almost be- yond recognition.
 The disaster happened at { o'clock in the morning. when the sleeping inhabl- tants of Frank were suddenly awakened

by a tremendous crash, followed by q shaking of the buildings. It was still dark, and for a time the greatest con- fusion prevailed, no one knowing just what had happened. As soon as day dawned, 1t was seen that the whole eide of Turtle Mountain had fallen away. and the valley, for distance of two miles, was entirely choked up by rocks and debris piled to an average height of 60 feet.
 Simultaneously with the piIing of the rocks on Turtle Mountain, there opened an immense Assure of the earth on the northern side of Turtle Mountain. This Assure extended for distance of three quarters of a mile and was many feet in width.
 This yawning chasm still remains open according to reports brought in by men who have been on the other side of Turtle Mountain.
 In the downward rush of the debris, the entire operating plant of the French Ca nadian Coal Company was carried away. The buildings demolished included the tip- pie. boiler house. engine house. electric light plant. repair shops and a row of coke ovens. Seven houses owned by the company were smashed into kindling. six of them being obliterated and their occu- pants kiiIeup Wtlto teu otIleF houses Wuicu were situated in the valley east of town were demolished. The people living in these houses were instantly killed as they slept.
 The direct monetary damage will ex- ceed s1.5OO.000. The actual loss to the mine company probably will not exceed $20O.000 The Canadian Pacific Railroad loses heavily through the blocking of its track.
 The scene of this catastrophe was orig inally one of the most picturesque val leys in Canada. Through the center of this beautiful valley ran the Old Mans river, which has It's source on the eastern slope of the Crows Nest Pass. The total width of the valley was little more than mile and sheer wall of rock rose to height of 3.5o0 feet above the level of the town. Old Mans River. which flowed through the valley. followed the side of Turtle Mountain. close up against the foot of which the town of Frank was

built.
 The mountain wall was. before this ca- tastrophe, so tall and precipitous that even in the longest day in midsummer the sun set in the town of Frank at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and that a twi- light ensued. The material from the slide came down in almost q vertical wall of rock and crossed the valley. a dis tance of over 6 mile and went up the foothills on the opposite side of the vaI- ley to height far above the highest building in Frank.
 Where once existed cozy homes, fertile farms and stock ranches there fs now nothing but huge chaotic piles of debria from the mountain, which has all the ap~ pearance of volcanic eruption.
 The land. which was once of great value and was rapidly increasing in prlca. on account of the known presence o& natural gas as well as of coal dapcasks. is now buried many feet deep with wasfe matter and is vaiueless.
 As there Is no geological expert reside.S. in the town it Is impossible to agcertfns ns exactly the true character of the fotc' exerted, but. judging from the evidsnc as now brought in by many who have scou ed around the outskirts of the waste ~ rocks and debris. many are inclined = the belief that it was a huge mountaixn slide caused by an earthquake or subts9 ranean explosion of gas. Pa
 Turtle Mou1tain is composed iarEeis of limestone rock. A theory advanced b's many of the mining men of the town i4. that the lime mine cliff had been unzer- mined by some subtcrranean branch oe old Mans river. The general opinion ia that the trouble was not volcanic. as as first supposed.
 Pieces of rock are stiii falling from kfsa strangely altered top of Turtle Mountain. These rocks are in many cases huge masses weighing hundreds of tons and am they fall crashing down with a noise like thunder they start other particles oe rock lying in the path of the slide. which rush onward bearing destruction. For that reason it is extremely dangerous to approach the vicinity of Turtle Mountain to make an investigation into the exact cause of the catastrophe.
