BRITISH FISCAL POLICY.
Another Animated Discussion In House
 of Lords-

London, June 2s.-The fiscal question was again the subject of debate in the house of lords tonight and brought out a statement from the Earl of Selborne, first lord of the admiralty, that an in- quiry would first be conducted by the cabinet for it's own information but that finally there must be an inquest of the opinion of the nation. The discussion was brought up by the Earl of Ports mouth on the question whether the gov- ernment would table its proposals to in- duce Germany to modify her tariff reg uIations respecting Canada. Taking occasion to condemn Mir. Chamberlains policy, the speaker said that hitherto 1t had been Great Britain's policy to aI- low the colonies to fight their own fiscal battles. Foreign Secretary Lord Lans- downe in replying said that papers on this question would be tabled soon. The question was one of great importance and some means must be found of pro- tecting British industries against un- fair competition. ....
 Lord Rosehery ridieuled the govern ment's attitude and suggested that the proposed inquiry was only intended as mechanism to keep the cabinet to- gether. ..
 This was the most important ques- ton, he continued, that had been sub- mitted during his life time and the na- tion should be allowed to take part in it.
 The government had no right to con- ceal what their intentions were. Lord Lansdowne declined to reply to the Earl of Roseberys direct question what would be the nature of the govern ment's inquiry, but the Earl of Sel- borne said he agreed with Lord Rose- bery that the nation had right to know what was going on and an in- quiry must be conducted by the nation, not by royal commission or party. He admitted that the governments ideas were as yet indefinite but they were seeking for fuller information. The Duke of Devonshire said that there would have to be a public discussion but he declined to say definitely wheth- CT the government intended to an- nounce it's plans before the autumn campaign opened. ,4s

John and Charles Wesley. who were then both old men. or the f6rmer he writes in his diary, February 24, 17S9: 'I called on John Wesley-a fine old fellow and the very last letter Wesley wrote, only a week before his death, was addressed to WiIberforcs. encour- aging him with Wonted vigor in his glorious enterprise in opposing that execrable villainy which is the scandal of religion. of England and of human nature" and eoncuding: That He who guided you from your youth up may continue to strengthen you in this and all things is the prayed Of, dear sir, your affectionate servant John Wes- ley" Wilberforce docketed this letter ''Wesley's last words, and they form a fitting conclusion to this rather ''round- about paper. r."-Canon overton in the CarnhilI

THE TRAVELLING sANDHmLs OF
 PERU.

After passing another town of three or four mud huts. we enter the famous desert of Islay, on which are what I consider the most remarkable natural curiosities to be seen on this globe. for we are now among hundreds-nay. thousands-of pure-white sand cres- cents, on a plateau of 4,5O0 feet above the level of the sea and 54 miles from the coast where all else is of a dark red or chocolate. Whence comes this sand, and why always in a crescent shape? Professor Bailey, whom I after wards met at Arequipa, in charge of the Harvard University Observatory, told me that scientific men do not agree as to the reason why the sand always forms the same crescent shape, although it is generally believed that the whirl- ing eddies hereabout are responsible: some. however, argue that such is not the case, since each of these crescents has an opening towards notheast, At any rate, the inner circle is an almost perpendicular wall of the finest pure white sand. and from the upper edges the crescents slope gradually on the out side. They average about twenty feet in height, the inner circle having a diameter of some fifty feet, although I have seen one at least mile and a half in diameter. which was. however. not much higher than the average These crescents move, it is estimated at the rate O. three inches every tWenty-four hours: and when. on the slow Journey. one comes near the railroad, it becomes necessary to shovel the sand across the tracks, after which it travels on, form ing new crescents, or mingling with some of the others.

WEsLEY's LAST WORDS.

With the rising school of evangelical churchmen Wesley was never quite in sympathy, nor that school with him
 They agreed in the main, but there were several points of detail, both, in doctrine and discipline, on which they differed, and it is not among the evan gelicals that the warmest admirers of John Wesley will be found. But, there was one matter on which they were en- tirely in harmony. The most ardent abolitionist had not a greater abhor- renee of the slave trade than John Wes- ley, who termed 1t, in his outspoken fashion, that execrable sum of all vil- 1ainies commonly called the slave trade.' This was a bond of union be- tween him and William Wilberforce, whose public life was beginning when Wesley's was waning. Wilberforce had formed a personal acquaintance with the Wesley family at the house of Han nah More, and was much attracted by

BEE-cuLTURE AN INDUSTRY.


 Fruit culture and bee culture have both been recommended to the dis tressed British agriculturalist; and per- ,haps the advice has sometimes been supererogatory. It is, permissible, how ever, to draw attention to the way in which the honey industry has advanced in France during the last few years. In ten years the output of honey has increased from 100000 grammes to S,5000OO kilogrammes. The increase is due less to an increase in the number. of hives than to the greater yield of each hive, which has now risen to about 500 grammes, or eleven pounds a hive. What is more gratifying (to the French producer) is that, owing to the scientific methods of bee farming, the yield each year has become constant and less affeGsd by vicissitudes, Illustrated ScieLtific News

THE GERMAN EMPEROR ON FOLK
 SONGS.
 The conclusion of the German compe- tition at Frankfort yesterday was sig nalized by long and remarkable speech from the Emperor William, who had come, with the empress and the young Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Co., tha, to be present at the performances and to distribute the prizes, including one given by himself. The whole festi- val had something of a medieval char acter, the idea of a choral competition had apparently been suggested by the memory of the famous singer Wett- kdieg, at the Wartburg, immortalized by Richard Wagner in ''Tannhauser." Perhaps it was the memory of this his- torical event that induced the emperor to seize the occasion for showing that he not only took an interest in the pro- l ceedings as sovereign but was in- kpired by the historic "reminiscences at- \ching to the day. The conductors of choirs from various German towns
 had been summoned to his majes-
 essence at the end of the perfor-
 were not a little surprised

RICHARD STRAUSS. s.SsFND]

In his own countrsS ;onsidered to be as great conds as composer. Richard Strauss belongs to the great modern school of artist conductors who. play upon the orchestra, so to speak, as upon one instrument. making it re- spond and vibrate to a stroke of the ba- ton, a gesture of the hand or a glance of the eye His quiet, business-like and very unassuming demeanor when talk ing his stand upon the platform may at first have somewhat chilling effect upon his eypectant audience, But as he identifies himself more and more closely with his score it becomes evil dent, first, that he is infusing an extra ordinary undercurrent of nervous ener- gy and vitality into his players, and, second, that he possesses a very deff- nite idea of the exact results which he intends to obtain.-A E.

ually gave way, but without doing serious damage.
 About a mile north of town is the Phelan dam. This also gave way about o'clock Wednesday morning, owing tothe gigantic flood of waters. Luckily there were no fatalities, but the loss to property will amount to a great deal. Many of those living on the bank of the stream had narrow escapes from having their dwellings washed away. George Patterson was prob ably the heaviest loser of these His barn, containing a fine buggy and another outhouse were ground to pieces. He estimates his loss al about $500.
 Many others suffered small losses but all feel thankful that it was nc worse.
 When it was learned that the Caufman dam was breaking, the the safety of the town was feared as it was thought the flood from that structure would cause the Sag inaw dam to give way, in which case great damage would have re- suited.
 False reports of the breaking oi the railroad dam have been sent out and published in southern Ari- zona papers. Both this and the Saginaw dam are uninjured and contain enormous bodies of water.
