While the widenixig. awl deepening of Pr Qenedieu waterway is receiving so Mule thoughtful 9 Mehl era 'don , and while something more thax this is belug dime to bring the Atlantic, and the Pacific weans together in Central America, it should be interesting to note the earnings of the Suez Canal, and consider not only how it increaetes and facilitates commeree between Europe and l Asise but also the good. investment it 'appears to be. We are anis:pally made aware of these facts, The Suez Canal Company's report for 1893 shows that the profits which the shareholaers of that corparation are making were last year as large as usual, and they present the strongest arguments in favor of the highway provided. by the water for commercial purposes. During tb.e last four yews the Suez corporation paid divideucls as follows: In 1890, 17 per cent, ; 1891, 21 per cent. ; 1892, 18 per cent, and 1898, 18 per cent. This was on a capitalizetion of 197,125,- 000 francs, inclusive of a reservation of 5 per cent. interest. The canal according- ly cost about $80,000,000. The com- pany's revenue in 1898 was 7(3,579,992 francs, and the expense amounted t) 86,- 961,455 francs, showing a profit of 89,- 615,587 francs, or a little less than 88,- 000,000. The shareholders, at this rate, could, after retaining 10 per cent., pay off the whole indebtedness in twenty-five years. The British Government bought from. the Khedive of Egypt an interest in the canal which in 1875 was valued at 820,000,000, but these shares are now worth $85,000,000 ; and even so the pres- ent cost of further improving our great inland waterway system, either in con- junction with the United States or alone, would mot only pay in time, but prove a great factor in peopling our great country and assuring greater prosperity than can miner any other cireurastances be pos- sible. Every year shows how much the St. Lawrence route deepened so as to ad- mit ocean steamers as fax as Toronto, Chicago and D iluth is demanded by com- merce. It is expected that the Canadian ship canal at Sault Ste. Marie will be complet- ed. in July. Work on this enterprise has extended over five years, and in complet- ing it this stammer the contractors are a year in advance of the time origivally set, and earn a bonus ef about 890,000 from the Dominion Gueeemnient. The completion of the work will, according to The Cleveland Marine Record, have an immediate bearing on lake transportation by giving a twenty foot channel throagh the Suu " in place of one of from four- teen to sixteen feet, according to the stage of the water in the American canal now in use; Hay Lake Chanel, which the American Government is now deepen- ing, will also be completed this year. The new Canadian ship canal is about one mile long, and the lock. is 000 fee' in length by sixty in breadth. The channel is twenty feet at •ordinary stage of water. Two of the largest lake vessels can be locked through together. The lock in the canal now in use is 515 feet in length, with sixty foot gates, and. from fourteen to seventeen fe•et of water. The new American "Soe" canal will be cempleted in 1896. The amount of foreign stocks held in Great Britoin is estimated at $3,819,035,- 000, and the interest receivable upon them is 8145,000,000 per annum. The N. 2 salt well of the Canadian Pacefie Railway at Windsor has again beea started, ana the &Detractions whieh got into the wells same months ago have been removed. They now turn out about 700 barrels a day, and cannot fill all orders. The productiou is said by ex- pert to be about the best knotsm, and there are four qualities. The Journal of Commerce is able to an- notuace, after footing up its tables, that the total fixe bill of the United States and Canada for the month of May- is 8,10,777,- 800, as compared with 810,417,100 in May of 1898. For the first five months of the year the loss is said te be 08,830,900, agaiust isu9,637,560 in the same period of 1808, showing the loss to be $6,106,750 lese thau last year 80 far. The Hali fax Board of Trade has pro- nounced strongly ihi favor of an annual subsidy to be paid by the Dominion Gov- meut to a direct cable between Canada and Jamaica. The preeent one from Halifax to Bermuda would be utilized as the fine stretch of the proposed. cable. The Government of Jamaica has promis- ed an annual subsidy of $15,000 for twenty-one years; the British Govern - anent is expected to assist, and. the Do- minion is asked for an annual subsidy equal to that promised. by Jamaica., The n.ainher of failures in the Domin- ion the past week, in Provinees, ae com- pared with previoue weeks, is as follows Ont. gee. 113.11,13.

In the same period of 1893 24,751 cattle and 1,001 sheep were shipped. Althoegh it s aulds very intush like the ad retailer adage of earr,ying octal to Newcastle, it le it fact that both. the Auetralirtais and New Ze slaudere are sue- eeeefully perfeetieg arrangements, by means• of the steseuers we subsidize, to supply Canetio, with mutton, dairy pro- duce, fruits, etc. This is really praise- worthy enterprite, and something worthy of %Isolation seeing that Cauada is pre- eminently an agricalbural conntry, and thet the Domiuiou took each& higb stand for the develtipmeat of dairying and kind, ea resources at the World's Fair. The aetipodeitus fully recognize these facts, and yet, judging by the prepare - dons being made on the Canadian-Aus- tralien line, refrigerating accommodation being pruvicled on the .Miowera alma for about 11,000 carcasses of frozen mutton. This fact makes it interesting to inquire into the relative condition of the Can - adieu sheep market in the deeede ended 1891. In 1881 the eensus showed that we had. 8,018,1378 sheep in Canada, and in 1891 this number was only 2,518,977, showing a decrease of 581,701, or 17.5 per cent. Ontario makes the worst showing in this respect, the redaction being froin 1,259,178 to 098,748, or nearly 27 per eenb., and Qnebete from 890,888 to 722,025, or 19 per cent. All the older Provinces show a reduction almost iu the same ratio, a,nd. Manitoba aud the Northwest Territories are the ouly cities showing any increase, the former from 0,078 in 1881 to 85,816 in 1891, and the latter from 840 to 64,920. Canada is well adapted for sheep raising, and the market is generally more satis- factory thau the wheat market is. In his speech at the ann.ual meeting of La Banque cl'Hochela,ga, held last Friday, Mr. Pendergast made some remarks very pertineut to the times, and. which are worthy of reproduction, eseecially those with regard to the spirit of extravagance which is so general. We quote a few extracts: "Fur over a quarter of a cen- tury our popalatiou, that of the rural dis- tricts especially, forgetting the traditions of frugality mei economy of the past, and following the pernielous example set by its neighbors of the United States, has given itself up to a chase after luxury which cannot be too much deplored. No longer satisfied with enjoying in the country, a modest but healthful existence, attracted by the false charms and the noisy pleasure,: or city life, our farming people have blindly- flecked to the great cities. The iuvasion has had at once the effect of giving to the manufacturing in- dustries a superabundance of labor and that uf increasing. to aix alarming degree the number uf desperates, who, having nothing to lose, enter nehesitatingly into the 111068 risky speculations. . . We must recognize that there has been ex- travagance in every sphere, in, the Cities as well as in the country, in trade as well ea in industry. What about the remedy? I see no other than the observance of the strictest economy in all things, of the greatest pradexice in transactions, shorter credits and a return to the sound ideas whith make agriculture popular and. had to our fer tile fields all those whom Pro- vidence had lute/Riad to remain in the country."

A young men of about twenty-seven years of age walked into police head- quarters, Toronto, about seven. o'clock Monday night and surprised Detective Burrows by saying that he wanted to surreader himself for the theft of a large sum of money from a London Eng:, dis- tilling company. He was dressed in the latest style, and carried a light summer overcoat carelessly, on his arm. "I am willing to go back to London and.pay the penalty of my crime," he said when saw the police officer's incredulous look. When interrogated by Sere. Reburn he told the following story: His name was Alfred Buchanan, and he had been a bookkeeper in the employ of Bishops & Sons, of the Finsbury Gin.Distillery Com- pany, of London, Eng. For some time previa -as to his departure for Canada, on June 5 he had systematically embezzled from his employers by means of retain- ing collections and making false entries in the books. He thought that he had embezzled about E200 in all, most of which had been sunk in speculating on the London Stock Exchange. Knowing that his defalcations would be discover- ed at the next audit of the books, he had fled the country, and making Canada his refuge had arrivrd in Montreal on Sane 19. About two weeks ago he crone to To- ronto and lived in a boaading house on Church street. He concluded his story by reiterating hie former statement that; he was anxious to be taken back to Eng- land to pay the penalty of his eriene. Buchanan is a rather fine lookingScotch- man, and gives evidence of being well educatedkle, says he left Scotland six years ago, and that he had only worked. for Bishops & Sons in London about fit- toon months. While in London he claims to have lived at 85 Woburn place. SMALLPDX SURE. Reports received by De.

The French President Stabbed to Death While Driving ia Lyons by a Young Italian From. Milan. The most intense exeitement has been °teased everywhere in France and through- out the continent by what has proven a successful. attempt to assassinate Presi- dent Carnet. The President was visiting Lyons in connection with the Interna- tional Exhibition. Upon his arrival there • he was tendered a reception at the pre- fecture, after whieh he visited the ex- hibition. After spending some time at tb.e exhibition he proceeded to the Padais de Commerce, where a banquet was given in his honor, At 9,25 o'clock President Carnet started for the theatre, where a gala performance was to be given because of his presence in the city. Several car- riages were in the procession., the first one being occupied by- the President. M. Carnet's carriage was driven slowly along in front of the Palace of Commerce and then turned into Rae de la Republique, still following the facade of the palace. When half way down. the street, 'which was lined with enthusiastic crowds of people, who were cheering louclly, a man RUSHED OUT OF TIM CROWD and sprang upon the step of the Preei- dent's carriage. Just at this moment M. Carnet was waving his right hand and saluting with his hat in his left hand in response to the ovation that was being given to him by the crowd. The people close to the carriage saw that the man standing on the step Aad a knife in his hand. By anaglare.of the electric lights they saw the brig -ht blade gleam in the air as tb.e assassm's arm descended, and then President Carnet was seen to fall beak in his seat, his face deathly pale. One of his hands was pressed over his heart where the steel had entered his body. M. Rivaud, prefect of license, who was seated by X. Carnet, immediately struck the assassin a blow 1 all in the face and knocked him from the step, thus preventing the man from again stabbing the President, which it was (xis intention to do. Instantly cries of "Le President est assassine," "Mort a la assassine," were heard on every side, and the crowd in the vicinity of the carriage swelled to enormous proportions, every member of it seemingly intent upon. kitiing the as- sassin. He was grasped by a dozen hands and his life would have then and. there paid forfeit of his crime had it not been for several sergeants de ville, who seized him and attempted to draw him away from his captors. This was found to be impossible, as the infuriated crowd were DETERMINED TO LYNCH TIM MAN, and the efforts of the sergeants availed nothing beyond saving the man from in- stant death. Blows were aimed at his face and head over the shoulders of the police, who had by this time received re- inforcements, and many landed At last the police succeeded in drawing the howling mob back a foot or so from their prisoner, but to get the captive through the crowd was a physical impos- sibility. In the meantime th.e news of the attempted murder spread with lightn- ing like rapidity, and mounted guards were sent to the aid of the policemen who were still struggling to preserve the life of the assassin. With drawn sabres in their hands the guards rode down the crowds, heedless of whom their horses, tx.ampled on. The crowd slowly gave way before the horses, and ail last the centre of the mob was reached. Then a cordon was formed around the ten almost exhausted policemen and th.eir captive, and tb.e march to the police station be- gan. PROBRTG TIM WOUND. After examining the President's wound all the physicians in attendance upon him agreed that an operation was necessary, whereupon Dr. Oilier immediately probed the wound. While this was being done M. Carnot came to his senses and said feebly but distinctly, 'How you aro hurt- ing ane." The doctors, however, continu- ed to attend the wound, the outward bleediug of which had stopped. They knew, though, that the President's con- dition was extremely grave, and they more thatt suspeeted that internal hem- orrhage ha,d commenced. SANTO, TIM ASSASSIN, is a beardless young man twenty or twenty-five years tile. , When arrestedhe was attired in a brown suit, and wore a peaked cap to match the suit in color. As ho marched under his police guard from the Rue de in Republic to the station he held his head down, but his eyes glared furitively around as though he was seek- ing en opportunity to escape from his captors. T9 have made such an attempt, however, would have been the height of foolhardiness Unless he desired to com- mit suicide, feur there is not the slightest doubt that had he got away from the pro- tection of the police he would helve been tom limb from limb by the crowd., whose every action slao•wed that they were thirster for blood. Santo, who speaks French badly, when questioned by Prefect Legine at the police station in Rue Motiere, said he had lived at Cotte, department of Herault, for the past six months, and had only come to Lyons to -day. He gave his ago as 22 years. His replies were given coolly, but without any sign of bravado. He refus- ed, however, to answer any of the many questions pat to him regarding his motive for stabbing the President, declaring that on this subject he would speak only laofure a tribunal. When he was aearchecl by the police,a book was found in One of his pockets in which it wag -written that he had beeu born in a village in the Pro, - vine° of Milan, Italy.

Daring his terms he has proved himself the best President France has °vet Seen, and, oa ho signified his intention of standing again, there was little doubt of his remaining in the Chief .Magistracy for fourteen years. M. Casimir-Perier was the only man in Femme who would have thought of dispating the populari y of Carnet, but no one who has studied. French affairs during the last half decade could make any mistake in judg- ing between them.
