Late Ifigh Commissioner's Hold.
ings Estimated at $80,000,000.
A despatch from Quebec says;
The death of Lord Strathcona will
have a, material effect on the reve-
nue of the province for the current
year. It is uuderstoocl that the
immense holdings of the late High
Commissioner will fall under the
succession law of Quebec, and cal-
culations are easily Made that the
revenue from. the estate e will
amount up to millions of .dollars.
It is said it was anticipated that
the value of the holdings was about
$80,000,000, and, if so, the sueees-
sion dues at eight per cent. would
amount to $6,400,000. This a„neount
will very likely bee modified when
the value of the estate in Quebec is
known, as this very point has arisen
over the judgment of' the Privy
Council in the Cotton case. At all
events, the province is expecting to
benefit to the extent, of several mil-
lions by the decease of Lord Strath -
cone.

at the colonial office it had been his
privilege_ to work officially with
tord Strathcona. Many yeasb'-
fore that it was his privilege to
count him antong his friends. His
private generosity and public bene-
factions had been beyond record or
belief. He left a name and record
illumined by persona affection and
pablie honors and a, career worthy
of envy and emulation by the civi-

t NEESSION"OF CO1 A. 4 f
Nereenally Gaye Rope and ReVeiVer
to ntirderer to Aid Dis :Escape.
A despatch from 'Winnipeg eitys:
Oonsteble Robert Reid, of the oitY
force, one of the two officers guard-
ing John Krafehenko when he es-
caped, made a full oonfeseion on
Weelaesday before the Royal Com-
mission, and implicated PeirCy Ha -
et tile lawyer, John Buxton and
olua 'Westlake. Constable Flow-
ers, his fellow guard, he clears of
all suspicion. Reid had formerly"
withstood a seven -hour grueling be
fore the eounniseion which seeming-
ly bad justified hini, but he eeme
pletely' reversed his -sworn state -
meats.
In the witness box Reid told how
he personally had given the rope,
key and revolver to Krafchenko
two days before the escape, while
the back of Flowers, the other
guard, was turned, The loosened
bars in the window, he said, had
been tampered with while Ryan,
the day guard, was asleep in the
cell. The constable stated further
that all the arrangerne,nts for the
escape were made in the office of
Percy Hegel, lirafehenko's ceun-
set, where Krafchenko had sent him
to see Hegel. Ile said he did not
know what had induced him (Reid)
to help Krafchenko. Buxton had
given the gun to Reid in Hagel's
office, and the number had been
filed off in Hagers presence. Ha -
,gel had told him 'that Westlake/
who was t,o hide Krafchenko after
his escape, could be trusted to do
So without "squealing." Hagel,
he said, had gone to Plum Coulee
to get $400 to handle the case. He
did not know whether he got it or
not.
CANADA'S DEBT TO BIRITAIN.
A Trade Balance in the Mother
Country's Favor of £72,000,000.
A despatch from London says:
Sir Edward Holden, the famous
banking authority, made an impor-
tant .speech. on Thursday on inter-
national finance and currency. Af-
ter dealing with the position of
France Sir Edward referred at
some length to Canada, the United
States, and India.
Canada, he said, has borrowed
from London during ,the last three
years a,bottt 2120,000,000. During
1913 she borrowed about 244,000,-
000. Her imports during 1913
amounted to about 2137,000,000
sterling, and the interest which she
has to pay in respect to the money
borrowed approximates at least
•215,000,000. Her exports for the
year amounted to about L80,000,-
000, therefore after paying for her
imports with her exports she had to
provide the sum of about 272,000,-
000. As her borrowings in this mar-
ket have amounted to about 244,-
000,000; the balance of her indebt-
edness for which provision has been
made amounts to about 228,000,000
sterling. Judging from these facts
it would appear, in Sir Edward's
opinion, to be obviously the duty of
Canada to 'go slowly, s,pcnd less and
borrow less, but it would be a mis-
taken policy for investors in this
country to button up their pockets
against further Canadian 'loans, so
long as the securities are of a first-
class character.
EXPORTS SHOW INCREASE.
Canada's Domestic Produce Ship-
ments 'Advanced Over 28%.
A despatch from Ottawa says:
During the 'nine -months' period
ending Dec. 31, 1913, the total. trade
of Canada, showed an advance of
10 per cent. upon the trade of the
corresponding period of the year
before. According .to the figures
issued by the Department of Cus-
toms Friday, the total trade, ex-
cluding exports of foreign products
and iMports other than those of
domestic consumption, from April
1 to Dec, 31, 1913, was $857,856,-
893, as against $779,587.058 in 1912,
the increase being $78,269,835.
The grea.t increase was in ex-
ports. During 1913 the total exports
were $388,707,375, as against $307,-
525,768. Of the exports, $359,115,-
658 were ef domestic produce, as
against $278,652,157, the increase
thus being $80,463,501, or OVer
per cent.
Imports enteted for tonsumption
showed a alight deerease standing
at $498,741,512, as 'against $5001-
934.901 in 1912. Dutiable goods
showed a. drop of nearly $3,000,000,
from $326,417,953 in 1012 to $323,-
434,277 i01912, Free goods, en the

Or. Friedmann Again.
A eeport comes from Germany to the
effect that the Friedmann treatment bee
been placed at the disposal of the medical
profession and that as a result it hoe
received a new and more favorable hear-
ing. Professor Kraus rays that it is evi-
dent that "something ,surprising" is be-
fore the medical world and that in th,e
case of experimente already made there

the same effeet Other testimeny is that
of Dr. Simon Baruch of New York, who
says that "Germanphysicians seem to
have withdrawn their oppoeition," and
adds that if Friedmann had not acted in
so eccentric a manner while in America
he would have made a 37514/1:6 favorable
impression. This all sounds rather curie

France Will Limit Saloons.
Once again the opponents of alcoholism
in France are making an effort to re.
strict, the sale of spiritby placing a
lime, on the number of saloons. For
yews bills hove been interxhiced rove-
larer into the Senate, passed and Sent
dowli to the Oharaber of Deputies. But in
the letter body he vested interesthave
always been able to muster a majoritY,
-which has promptly shelved the measure,
with the result that saloons have increas-
ed at an alarming rate.
At the present time there is no effective
way of limiting the number of saloons.
According to the most reliable figures
there ore now about 480,000 such places in
France. This works out as one for every
82 inhabitants, equivalent to one for
every 25 adulte. In Germany there is only
one public house for every 246 inhabit'
ant, one for every- 360 in the 'United
