IN EXPLANATION,

MT. Brodrick, secretary of state for India, took advantage of a Primrose League meeting in England the other day to explain his position with regard to the controversy which has led to the resignation of Lord Curzon. Speaking of the retiring viceroy, he said: When appointed to the India Office two years ago I had no more earnest wish than to further the work on which he had been engaged with such self-denying persistence for five years. Any one
 who is aware of the circumstances must know that in such a connection to put down differences which have arisen to personal antagonism would be an absurdity. The position of the secretary of state for India is pecu- liar one, and no other office in the least resembles it. In the Foreign or Colo nial Office, for example, the secretary of state is responsible for all the de- cisions except those which come before the Cabinet. In the War Office or the Admiralty, though the head of the of- flee is assisted by a council it is they, and not he, who must resign in case of difference of opinion. In the India Off, fee, by wise provision made half century back, the secretary of state is assisted by council, including ten or twelve officials of mature Anglo-Indian experience, among whom he has only one vote, who hold their offices for ten years and are irremovable, and who, although their names do not appear in the dispatches, are responsible with him for every word which is written from the India Office or all questions of financial and general administration. In more important questions, especially those which do not alone concern the internal administration of India, he is the mouthpiece of the Cabinet. Among such questions must be numbered the
 whole of the recent discussions. I mention this because, although I read fly take responsibility for every word which is written over my name, it should not be assumed that in such a settlement as that in which we have just been engaged, in which, in the opinion of those military and civilian advisers on whom we are bound to place reliance, it had become impera- tive to carry through a reform in milI- tary administration in India, the ma ture opinion of the viceroy and his council was being challenged merely by the personal views of the secretary of state.

At Rio Janeiro and Montevideo gov- ernments and tribunals are still more or less busy in settling the affairs re- Hating to the attempted revolution of last November in Brazil and that of Saraiva which lasted eight months in Uruguay. It seems there is to be no
 leniency shown to the rebels who have been captured. Those from Brazil have been sent to the malarious districts of Acre, and the Chamber of Deputies has recently rejected the motion, made by Dr. Barbosa Silva, asking for informa- ton about the sanitary and other con- ditions of the deported revolutionists. The heads of the government them selves leave all responsibility to the chamber in regard to such matters of Internal policy; and, as Le Bresil, of Paris, said recently: "The foreign af- fairs of Brazil have, under the direction of the Baron de bio Branco, assumed an amplitude and activity which have not been known for a long period"

A representative of a large motor car company has just been interviewed in Washington, and he gives it as his opinion that the automobile will never supersede any cheap kind of vehicle. He says that the dingy old cabs and car- riages which one sees along the streets in all the larger cities and about the railroad stations and at other points where customers are likely to appear will never be retired by the automobile. The reason for this is the cost of main- tenance of these machines. This au- thority says that the single item of tires alone would prevent the substitu- ton of automobiles for cheap cab ser- vice Beyond this is the matter of re- pair and the first cost of the automo- bile.

 and makes the hair stick up, And causes one in many ways to drain

 fort all intent, And fain would have his luxuries
 wherever that he went. And thus when friends induced him on
 q fishing trip to go, He said that he would do it if they
 didn't make him row. They promised--and they took him to
 q place where monsters come, And Q the awful happenings when
 Aitkens caught the drum. It grabbed his bait a-fying and it gave
 q mighty jerk, And he saw with sudden horror that before him there was work. Give him line" a friend advised him; Hold him in" another said, But he pressed his lips more tightly
 and his face was still and red. Oh, the things that drum did Aitkens

An agricultural experiment of great interest is about to be undertaken by tho Long Island railroad, which has purchased seventeen acres of land near the Wading River station, and which it proposes to develop in the line of inten- sive farming with view to ascertain Ing to what degree the unimproved land on the island can be made produc- tive and give returns to the agricul- tural effort. The land chosen for the experimental farm is at present thickly overgroWn with scrub oak and pitch pine, and is typical of thousands of acres on the island which have never been cultivated. It will be cleared and fenced, and well will be driven in it.

A Parisian journal wonders what No- bel would do were he still living. He was q swede, but he put the assign ment of the Nobel prizes in the hands of the Norwegian storthing for the ex- press purpose of bringing "these two hostile brothers" into friendlier rela- tions. The question arises whether the swedish Parliament will not now disre- gard Nobeps directions and itself as- sume charge of the funds.

The official financial statement of last year in Australia is favorable, compared with statements for previous years. The foreign trade, for example, exceeds that of Spain, Portugal and Ja- pan, and internal production and trade the last year reached the highest fig cures on record. Nevertheless, notes the London Spectator, the population of Australia is of but slow growth and 100000 of people are not enough to do justice to continent" This is ex- plained by the policy of the Common wealth in discouraging immigration, as, for example through Chinese exclusion laws.
