London, Feb. 21. --Tho danger of leav-
ing explosives about in the shape of
armed bands roaming in the disputed
sphere under youthful officers has been
!amply illunstrated in West Africa, where
the interiningling of French nod British
i troops has already caused incidents which
threaten the most grave complications.
Happily, the positive instructions of both
Governments have thus far been obeyed
and an actual collision has been avbided,
1 But the fuse is alight, and unless France
withdraws from her provocative attitude,
or Great Britain continues the graceful
concession policy she has hitherto observed
towards the French claims, an explosion
is bound to follow.
•Next week the supplementary estimate
of #:16O,000 for the West Afrieen expenses
will be -presented, to the House of Com -
mous, and an interesting debate may bo
expeetod. Probably the most vital point
is not so much the possession of territory
as freedom of conzzueree, Another 36
British officers and non comznissloned
officers group sailed today for West
Africa, nccoznee:dee by immense gnanti-
ties of war munitions. As even the un-
alarxnist Statist points out, the troubles

this, the state of France, the struggles of
the nationalists of Austro-Hungary, the

London, Feb. 21. --The press continues
its warning that the situatiou in Wast
Africa, between France and Great Bri-
tain, is growing more critical. It is im-
possible to abandon the British flag with-
out loss 02 honor, it is said,
According to the Daily Chronicle,
France and Germany aro casting covetous
eyes upon Liberia and aro contemplating
its annexation.
It is widely accepted that Mr. Joseph.
Chamberlain, the ,elecrotary of State for
the Colonies, is endeavoring to put back-
bone into the Marquis of Salisbury's
dealings with Fiauce, Mr, Chamberlain
persisting in viewing the matter purely
from the point of view of the Colonial
Office, and urging above all things the
maintenance of Groat Britain's interest
as a colonizing power.
Sir Thomas Pemyss Reid, editor of the
Speaker, is responsible for the statement
that Mr. Chamberlain would have pushed
his pro -British policy in Africa to the
risk of war, and the Marquis of Salis-
bury's attitude in opposing it, therefore,
loads some countenance to the gossip that
the Queen bas informed the Marquis of
Salisbury that sho will never again sign
a deolaration of war.
A 'revolution in France.
London, Feb. 21.-A striking article in
the Westminster Gazette, by William T.
Stead, says: "The news from the Niger
is only serious because of the news from
France. The net effect of the news from
Paris to -day is that Franco is once more
in full- revolution. The third republic,
although nominally still in situ, no
longer exists. The long-expeoted upset
has arrived at last, and has arrived al-
most to the very day, exactly fifty years
after the revolution of 1848. The coup
d'etat of General Boisdeffre differs from
the coup d'etat of Napoleon IIT. only in
the degree of brutality of its accessories.
When the chief of the French general
staff, the nerve centre of the grey matter
of the brain which directs, controls and
governs the whole armed force of France,
enters into as court of law to proclaim to
a jury that unless they return a verdict
to bis liking, 'the chiefs who are at the
bead of the army, and who organize na-
tional defence, are ready to leave their
task to others,' there is no longer any
Republic Government in France."
Sir Charles Dilke's Opinion.
London, Feb. 21. -Sir Clarke Dilke,
M.P., the well-known authority on for-
eign affairs, whose question in the House
of Commons Friday night elicited in-
formation from Colonial Secretary Cham-
berlain regarding the dangerous situation
in West Africa, said in an interview
that he thought the other powers would
not interest themselves in the Anglo-
French dispute for the reason that the
West African question was only of vital
interest to I+ingland and France.
The state of affairs in West Africa, he
added, was what he had always antici-
pated might be reached in Newfoundland
at any moment. He had considered the
Newfoundland question tbo only dangerous
one between France ancl England, because
of the ever-present risk ,of conflict on a
spot which would appear to engage na-
tional honor. Now there was imminent
risk of the same thing all over West
Africa:

G. T. R. ACTIVITY.
One of Canada's Trunk Lines Seeking
Rntranee to Ohio's Cosa Fields -The
Movement Now on Foot
Toledo, O. Feb, 2L -During the past
few days evidences have been accumulat-
ing that the Grand Trunk Railway is
actively seeking an entrance into Toledo
and the bituminous coal fields of Ohio.
Thus far transactions on the part of the
:.elle=ay company appear to have been
coazductcd with the utmost secretly, and
very little of a deflniteoharacteris known
beyond the fact that just beyond the City
limits certain farmershave signed con-
tracts conveying to the Grand Trunk
people the right of way through their
property. It is rumored now that the
company has secured an option on a large
tract- of land inside the city limits, to be
used for freight yards and other terminal
purposes. Tao location of this ground is
also being kevt a secret, although it Is
thought to be in the vicinity of the prop.
erty of the Central Terminal ,Association,
in the northern partof the city. It is gen-
erally understood that the Toronto branch
of the Grand Trunk will be vezy. nearly
a straight cut to Detroit, where it will
connect with the main line. Thebuildtng
of a Toledo line will give the Grand
Trunk direct access to the coal fields of
Ohio, a feature which the company seems
to have had in view for a number of
years past.
