IMPORTS HIGiiER ; EXi'ORTS LOWER
Trade Increase for April and May
Eleven Millions.
A despatch from Ottawa says: Can-
ada's Irado figures for the first Iwe
mouths of the present fiscal year, end -
Ing May 30 lest, .show an increase of
re: less than 111,903,790, and nearly 25
per cent. in the value of the Imports,
as compared with April and May of
106. imports for May alone were
$33.935,525, an Increase of 57,275,564.
This largely increased importaticn
na-
turally resulted in a oorresponding in-
crease of revenue from duties. For Ihe
Iwo months the duties collected totalled
89.588,690, an increase of 51.533,261 over
the corresponding period of last year.
On the other hand, the exports show
a considerable falling off, due largely
tc the lateness of lite opening of spring
navigation and the longshoremen's
strike at Montreal. Exports for the
two months totalled 830,929.319, a de-
crease of 55,2.26.892 from last year. The
decrease for May alone was $1,880,097.
Exports of products of the forest de-
creased 5717,281; animals and their pro-
duce, 8123,315; agriculture. 8928,615.
For the two months the decrease in ag-
ricultural products was 82, )07,276; the
products of the mine increased 160.34,334.
The total trade for the two months WETS
592,539,739, an increase of $6,676,898.

MONTREAL'S_FIRE LOSSES.
Nearly Three Million Dollars In the
Past Six Months.
A despatch from Montreal says: There
was received at the City Hall on \\'ed-

11re Underwriters' Association, saying
that on account of great tiro losses Ly
insurance companies (hese companies
had decided to curtail the amount •.f
Insurance that would be given to Ihe
public. This step was necessary In or,
der to give a better safeguard to the
companies. The document also calls
upon the city to at once lake steps to
have all wires in the city placed in un-
derground conduits. Special experts
have proven to tiro underwriters Ilint
many fires are due to tiro danger -'•f
overhead wires, etc. The report, which
also touches upon other important 111al-
ters, says that the Underwriters' Asso-
ciation, after much research, have rea-
son to believe Mat some of the recent
disastrous fires in the city are duo to
defective wiring. The report also steles
that during the past six months flee in-
surance losses in the city have been
close upon three million dollars. This
means seven dollars per capita of po-
pulation. Such losses, it is claimed,
besides being enormous in the extreme,
aro unnecessary.

UTINY OF RED HUSSARS
•
Serious Disaffection in the Czar's
Favorite Regiment.
A despatch from St. Petersburg says:
What technically was a mutiny, close-
ly resembling the mutiny of the t'reo-
braiensky ilegiment just before the dis-
&elulion of the Duina last year, Inas
o•ctu•rd in the ranks of the Life Hus-
sars, better known as the "Ited Ltus-
sues," at T earekoe-Selo.
The existence of serious disaffection
came to light whin Colonel Molustvoft,
commanding the regiment, ordered the
punishment of several soldiers, but the
other soldiers refused to inflict it. They
also refused to shout the usual salute -
ben to the commander tui parade.
The upshot of the affair was the ter.
rest on Monday at '1'.,rskoe-Selo
the commander of the "Red Ilasars,"
General Petrovo Sotovo, aide-de-camp
to and personal friend of the Czar. The
General was conveyed to et. Peters-
burg and place(( under domiciliary 4r -
Fest in the Winter Palace.
The fourth squadron of the reghnent
has been deprived of the privilege of
carrying the regimental, Seams. All
the officers have been arrested, and the
regiment wilt probably be transferred to
Metviel, where. Iho Japanese prisoners
lived. and where the Preobrajensky
(regiment was sent last year by way if
punishment. A series of courts-martial
will follow in due course.
From personal invcslig ,tions it is
concluded that the mutiny was not caus-
ed by direct political agitation, but was
tit, result of the loosening 01 all the
hnn•Ig of discipline duo to the present
longel►'awn . crisis. The soldiers are
vague Iy disdtalisfled, but they don't know
exactly what they want. hence anar-
chy is more probable lhait a swift,
mean -cut military revolution. The sin-
gular fact about these mutinies is That
they occur in the regiments most close-
ly connected with the Czar. The llus-
e e• • are even dearer to him than wear,
