CPtintda 's Future,
New Yore., Aug. 10—'rhe l oraid'srWash-
iegton epeaiat says Senator Guflem feels tha
the time is coming when Canada's presenee
on our northern border will be a standing
menace to our peace aed prosperity. The
Illinois Senator is net an alarmist, nor
is he at all given to sensationalism. lie
16, ou the contrary, one of the meat clear-
headed and conservative men in public
life. But ho thinks we have reason to
fear Canada's growing greatness, both
from a numerical as well as a material
standpoint. "It was for this reatoa,"
said Senator Cullom yesterday, "thatat
introduced my resolution on Friday last
to investigate and report npon the number
of railways in this country which aro
owned or indirectly controlled by the Cana-
dian Pacifi,a and. Grand Trunk railways.
I think when the facts become known it
will surprise some of our people to learn.
how mach of the carrying trade to this
country is diverted from its legitimate chan-
nels through these foreign agencies.
TRADE WITti LIMINA AND JAPAN'.
"Already, I am told, nearly fifty per cent.
of the merchandise brought from China and
Japan to America is carriedby a line of ,snb-
sidtzed English steamers to Vancouver Is.
land. There it is transferred to the Cana-
dian Peoifis railway and carried as far east
as practicable, and then reshipped to its des-
tination by American lines. All this is
working an injury to our transcotinental
railways, and it ought to be remedied
These steamships and railway lines ran un-
derbid us. They are subsidized by the Brit-
ish Government, and if they can divert our
commerce from regular channels they pro-
pose to do it until they have driven us out
of the market, when they will remain mas-
ters of the situation. More than this, their
influence with certain lines of American rail-
ways, mainly, I suppose, because of their
large interest therein, is such that they aro
able to freeze out new enterprises of this
character whioh might otherwise come into
competition with them. This strikeq me as
carrying their imprudence a little too far.
It is these and kindred fasts which we pro-
pose to thoroughly investigate.
WRY AFRAID OF CANADA?
If Congress does not adjourn soon, our in-
vestigations will be neoessarilya postponed
until next spring. I think we ought to
begin at Halifax, and continue a trip along
the Canadian border to San Francisco,gath-
ering all the information we cnnregarding
the matter under consideration.' 'Why is ib,
Senator," queried the correspondent, "that
you are afraid. of Canada, with its meager
population of five million people, which we
can: overshadow with our sixty millions of
people 1" "It isn't the present," continued
the Senator, it is' the suture I am consid-
ering. . ' England is doing, everything she
can; to build up the Dominion<of Canada.
Howmany years will it be, think you, be-
fore Canada's five mitten people will become
twenty-fve milion? Our interests are dia-
metrically opposed to each, other. Sooner
cr later they will clash, and when they do,
trouble will follow, for it is not in the nature
of things that we can live on in harmony for
ever. When that time comes Canada must
absorbthe United States or we must absorb
Canada, and I leave you to judge which
of the two will be done."

not likely that more than 2.000 stars can

Volcanic Eruption.
Sax FRAxcrsco, Cal., Aug. 18.—The
steamer City of Sydney, which arrived last
evening from Hong Kong and Yokohama,
brings Japanese journals containing par-
ticulars of a volcano eruption of Bandai-San.
Oa the morning of the 15th ult, the smaller
Bandai•San trembled and roared violently.
Almost immediately afterwards sahes began
to fall and the sky suddenly grew dark, and
the rumbling sounds continued, accompanied
by violent eartbquake and flare of dazzling
flame. The crest of the smaller Bantlai-San
appeared to be lifted bodily upwards and
then to fall again with a tremenduons noise.
Then followed showers of red mud, mingled
with large stones. Abov e the mud fell a
few inches of ashes. In the five villages of
Iwase, 3.rosan, Wakamiya, Minato, and
Hibara, the greater part of the housse were
buried to a depth of from seven to twenty
feet. The state of the bodies recovered is
terrible. It is scarcely possible to dis-
tinguish between men and women. A few
corpses were found suspended in the
branches of trees, which had caught them.
as they fell. Up to the 17th the number of
bodies recovered was 476. It is believed
that 81 are still. entombed. The wounded,
number 41. Eighty-seven houses were die-
Iroyed..

cattle, horaea, pigs, cats and other animals,
as welt as thickens and birds, should be
fully exposed there to infection. The
Auatraliana do not intend to sacrifice their
herds and flacks and all their wild birds
for the mike of exterminating the rabbits.
It was promised that the microbes sent by
Pasteur would cause death in 24 or 36 hours.
The first experiments with them were disap-
pointin ;, because the vitality of the germs
had been weakened by a long voyage. M.
Pasteur's representative reported a tew days
later, however, that satisfactory remits had
been procured. The disease suggested by
Drs. lsllis and Butcher is highly infections,
but runs its course in not lees that fifteen
days. The first meeting of the commission-
ers was held in Sydney. The second, of
which we have no report, was to be hold in
Melbourne, and the commissioners were
then to proceed to Adelaide and Tintinal-
logy, these to take testimony concerning
the experiments of Prof. Watson and Drs.
Ellis and Butcher. In the interval be-
tween the first and the second meeting M.
Pasteur's representatives discovered that a
disease prevailing among the sheep of New
South Wales was identical with the disease
known in Europe as charbon, for which, M.
Pasteur found a remedy by inoculation some
years ago. It appears, therefore, that even.
if the chicken cholera microbes shall not be
accepted, Australia will gain something by
the visit of Pasteur's pupils and assistants.
The commission has undertaken a very thor-
ough enquiry concerning the Efficacy of the
several diseases proposed for use among the
rabbits, concerning the possibility of the
transmission of these diseases from rabbits
to birds, farm animals, and men. It seems
scarcely probable that there will be found
any disease which will sweep off the rabbits
and be harmless with respect to the people
of the country, their flocks, and .their do.
mestio animals.
The man. behind the parliarrentry scenes
says in a London weekly: "The courtship
of Mr. Chamberlain with 11Iiss Eadico.tgoes
on apace, and the marriage will take:
place probably at the beginning, of next
year. It is likely the bridegroom elect will
go to America about the end of September
to pay another visit to New York."
