BRITISH WAR PROBLEMS

Confronted with the necessity OF
providing large sums of money FOR
the relief of the Transyaal and for
buying out the Irish landlords, the
British taxpayer has also to meet the
demands of the Ministry for a heavy
increase of expenditures for both the
army and the navy. At the same
time the m of the kingdom are
clamoring for protection, while the
streets of the big cities swarm with
unemployed laborers demanding work
and wages.
II is a time of peace in Great Brit
ain but her war burdens cannon De
laid aside. The estimates for the
vear include expenditures of s172,OOO,-
of0 for the army and about s1SO,OOo,-
600 for the navy. Such sums would
in years gone by have carried on a
war with a irst-class power. they
are now required merely as a prepa-
ration. and are more likely TO increase
than deminish in the year to come.

GROVER cLEvELAND's ULTIMATuM.

As was expected, Ex-President Cleye-
land has written letter definitely taking
himself out Of the race for next year,
and saying so in words about which there
can be no mistake. The only surprise Is
that this has come as soon as it has. No
well-informed man ever thought seriously
that Cleveland would be candidate for
third term, and understood that the
booming of his name was merely to coagu.

Whether this result has been accomplish.

ified as to give hopes to its friends. No
body has yet appeared who seems liable
to unite the whole party, and in behalf
of whom Mr.. Cleveland might withdraw.
The nearest approach to it is Senator
German, but il the convention were hold
tomorrow, he would have to win over
nearly half of the Democratic Party be-
fore his nomination could be assured.
There is a revival Of talk about Judge
Parker and EX-Secretary Olney, but the
talk is not infectious, and no spread is
visible. 1t seems to be confined to only
portion of. those who were original ad-
vocates of those gentlemen.

AN effort is being made in England to in
troduce the yerba-mate as a substitute for
tea and coffee, particularly tea, of which
the British are enormous consumers.
Yerba-mate is otherwise known as Para
quay tea, and is in universal use in Par
aguay and Argentine, where it takes the
place among working men of the beer,
wine, liquors, tea and coffee used In Eu-
rope. 1t is best drunk as hot infusion
through a metal tube, but it is also used
in the same way as tea and coffee with
milk and sugar, though most people prefer
it without these additions. 1t has stinl-
ulating and sustaining power egen supe-
riOr to that Of tea and coffee. without any
of the i'll effects alleged to follow their
use. All the British medical journals
it as substitute for ten and
coffee. and still more decidedly as a sub
stitute for beer and spirits. 1t is very
much cheaper than either tea or coffee. Il
is said that the working men in South
America are able to accomplish enormous
tasks on this alone. 1t is at first very bit

GOOD WORK BY THE PENSION BUREAU.

The consolidated number of certificates
issued for the months of July. August,
September and October of this year show
the very agreeable total of 4S,09S. The
number Gf certificates issued for the cor
responding period of last year was &c.
402 This shows that for the four months
named the work of the Pension Bureau
has been increased 33 per cent. over
amount done in the same time last year.
A still better comparison is with the
corresponding period for 1901, which was
the last year of Commissioner Eyans's ad-
ministration. For the four months named
of that year the total number of certifi-
Gates issued was 81 1,615. This was the
best year of Evans's administration, and
the best part of that year. 1t was the
best work that had been done in the Pen
the work for the same period of this year
exceeds that of Evans's best four months
by 16,4S3, or about 53 per cent This is
a most impressive exhibit of the increased
efficiency of the working force of the Bu-
reau, and of the strong disposition of the
SOhiIlioSiVhci W cAOSutc TIC pcuSlOn AdWS.
Quite as significant is the fact that this
result has not been secured by any pres
sure upon the working force, or other abb
normal stimulus. 1t has been obtained by
the regular working Of the official force
under the great improvement in the man
agement and discipline of the office, as well
as by the greater liberality on the part of
the Commissioner. Mr.. Evans's methods
of managing the office We're as unfortunate
in conception as all other matters con-
nected with the pension system. His ways
were nagging, faultfnding, and abusive,
which We're not calculated to bring out the
best services of those under him. This
method has been replaced by well-or-
dered, firmly administered system which
brings all the different divisions into har-
monious action, and secures, without pres
sure upon anyone, greater output by the
whole. Mr.. Evans's excuse for the small
ness of the work accomplished was that
he was dealing with the aggregation of diff
ficult cases. which he had inherited from
his predecessors. The emptiness of this
pretext is now apparent. because his sue
cessOr inherited ''all the snags," the ad-
judication of which Evans had showed over
for the future.

UNEXPECTEDLY TO many the vote upon
the proposition to expend s101, ,O00, 900
for the improvement of the Erie Canal
and Hudson River was carried by large
majority. New York and Buffalo gave it
q majority of 415, 200, which would imply
that the men who had the scheme most at
heart supplied Tammany and the ring at
Buffalo literally with funds and therefore
got a solid vote in its favor. All but 10
of the other Counties voted against il,
making a majority outside of Buffalo and
New York of $4,000, which deducted
from those of the two cities left net
majority of about 10000. This is the
greatest sum ever voted by any State or
Nation to be expended in one improve
ment, and is phenomenal in that way. The
proposition is to convert the Erie Canal
into great waterway capable of floating
strings of 1,00U-ton grain barges, and i'm
proving the Hudson River so as to per-
init ready passage of these from Troy
down to New York. This would make an
imperial highway for the grain of the
West, giving great impetus to lake navi-
CATION. Each 1,000-ton barge would carry
about as much as an old-fashioned freight
train, and a string of them more than two
or three of the great freight trains of to-
day. If the State of New York is willing
to spend $101 100000 ON such an enter
prise, there ought to be no hesitation or
quibble about the United States spending
enough to make a canal of the highest
class across the Isthmus.

CANADA processes To be greatly alarmed
since the Alaskan decision lest we buy
Greenland from Denmark, and assert a
vested right to large portion of the Hud-
son Bay region on account of the long
operations Of our whalers in those waters
She pretends a fear that we shall cut her
off from the north part of the continent,
and make her but narrow strip across
the mainland. Therefore she is hastily
fitting out an expedition which will go to
Hudson Bay, rehoist the British flag on
all the islands where it has not been seen
for very many years, and expel the Ameri-
can whalers from Hudson Bay, asserting
that it is closed sea, and not open to any
but British shipping. She claims all the
land north of her to the North Pole, and
there is possibility that the expedition
will make an effort to discover that She
maintains that Hudson Bay has been a
closed sea, a British possession since 1713,
though the American whalers have been
SO numerous in there and SO little inter
fered with that they may claim a right to
occupation on account of the failure Of the
British Government to assert title to the
islands and shores. The wealth of the
whale fishery in that region is very great,
and mostly enjoyed by New England
sailors. The favOrite whaling ground is
in the vicinity of Chesterfield Inlet, on the
northwest side of Hudson Bay, where the
American ships winter and make their
headquarters. These are all to be ordered
away. Maj. Moody has been appointed
l.nvQrnnr of fha nd haS
force of police to build fort at Chester
field Inlet, and give visible evidence of
Canadian rule. The expedition will not
return for year. OF course, this will
wake up New England, and it is not i'm
possible that it will be discovered that our
fishermen have rights In that region which
Canada can not be allowed to disregard.

Mr.. w. w. Wynne and Mr. Charles
McCullers, of this city, returned yester-

caught fifteen rabbits and two suits of
convict clothes. While in straw field
near McCullers Station they came across
two suits Of convicts clothes and some
extra shirts. No account can be given
as how came the clothes to be there, but
the supposition is that they belonged to
some escaped convicts, who had secured
citizens clothing from some one in that
neighborhood and discarded their convict
garb in the field.
