It is possible to do this by sowing and grow- ing Moyer, even. when prices of farm products are at their lowest. One would think that cheap as wheat has been the past few years its acreage woold have been largely degreased long ago. Wheat has not paid the American, as well as the Canadian farmer, for we find by the report of the Department of Agriculture at Washington the average yield last year for the United States was t only eleven bushels per acre, and from the last crop bulletin issued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture that the average yield of fall and spring wheat in this Province is only fifteen and a half bushels per acre. Taking the American yield of eleyen bushels to the acre and allowing 60 cents a bus., this would only be $6.60 for the product of an acre, and its costs the farmers considerably more than this to produce it; so in reality the American, farmer has beenlosing money. The Ontario farmer with the average yield of .1.5i bushels to the acre has done better, but $9.30 to the acre for his wheat crop leaves him no profit. Unless farmers increase the productive capacity of their soil and grow more than. 11 to 15 bus. to the acre, wheat growing at present prices will not pay. Not until last year was there any decrease in the area crop- ped with and that came because it followed a very large crop- There is a greater reduction in the acreage of -wheat sown this year. The chief reason why farmers who are engaged in grow- ing unprofitable crops cannot make the change needed to increase fertility is because they have too poor stock. A few farmers by the nrn.tng---ncreilgnrr4f-'m Weregoientietra Oes,'can afford to plow under their clover. But what is needed is a way to dispose of the clover by feeding that will give an additional profit, besides saving all its manurial advantages. It can only be done by keeping a better class of stock. When clover ismut and fed to stock instead of being plowed under, there is only the extra cost of harvesting the crop and returning the manure to the land. Manitoba School ;law. Toronto, jam. 22.—The World to- day publishes the following, dated Ottawa, Jan. 20:— To-morrow, Sunday, Jan. 21st, is the last day on -which the Government of the Dominion can disallow the act pass- ed by the Legislature of the Northwest Territories practically abolishing the separate schools therein, and substitut- ing therefore a public school system like that now' in force in Manitoba. The `strongest pressure has been brought to bear upon Sir John Thompson to dis- allow the ant, but he and his Govern- ment have decided not to interfere. Representatives from the Ifrench Cana- dians of Quebec and of the Territories and of the Roman. Catholic hierarchy urged, in the strongest terms, what they considered the injustice done to them by the law in question, but SieJohnThomp- son and his colleagues, ibis understood took the strong ground that the Terri- tories must be free to do as the majority 'decide, especially in view of the decis- ion of Parliament and the Government of Sir John:Macdonald not to interfere or disallow the Jesuit Estates bill pass- ed. by the Province or Quebec. Quebec contended then that she could do what she liked within her own sphere, and made the greatest fight up to that date for Provincial Rights, The Govern- ment have told the advocates of separate schools in the Northwest that they must abide by the precedent which those who are now complaining did most to estab- lish. too 16 World's Fair Plaat6s for One thine, The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway has made an arrangement with a first-class publishing house to furnish a serits of beautiful "World's Fair pic- tures, of e large size, at the nominal cost to the purchaser of only ten omits for a portfolio of sixteen illustrations.

The prisoner's father and sister remain- ed over at Joliette, as they too were con- fident that the accused would be a free man yesterday. When hey received the news that the prisoner, instead of leaving Joliette a free man, was simply to leave the jail there for the. jail at Three Rivers it was more than they could stand, and they wept bitterly. The ease has already cost the prisoner and his father $5,000 and it is thought they have but little money left to fight the ooze over again. The Crowe officers claim that the cir- cumstantial evidence of the attempted murder at Louiseville is so strong that a verdict of geilty is sure to be returned. On the other hand the lawyers for the defence say that the new action against prisoner on, the part of the Government is a petty piece of business and simply shows spite. They also maintain that no jury„, after learning that the prisoner had been acquitted on a murder charge, would oon- yid him on the minor ore. The necessary warrants have been issued for Hooper's arrest on the new charge and he will be lodged in the Three Rivers tail to await trial. The new proceedings are likely to re Aye interest in the case and another lengthy trial will be the result. It has not yet been decided who will conduct his defence. Hooper expresses himself confident that he will again be acquitted. ITEMS FROM OTTAWA. Sanford Fleming Arrives—Fast Atlantic Steamers OTTA.vrA, Jan. 23. — Messrs.

Sandford Fleminn, C.M.G., return- ed from England yesterday. As is but natural, the Chancellor of Queen's 'Univer- sity feels somewhat gratified, at the atten- tion which the publio is devoting to the scheme at which he has been at work for Be ene,AIthe cable schema. The Australian colonies are deeply interested in this question, and at the antipodes, as well as in the mother country, public attention. has been firmly- riyetted upon it. In the Exchequer Court yesterday leave was granted the heirs of the late John. Ross to go on with the suit started by him ,against the Government to recover $576,- 904 for claims in. connection with sections 0 and 15 of the Intercolonial railway.

Mr. Armstrong had also an interview with Six John Thompson and Sir Charles Bib- bert Tupper in regard, to the mattet. It Is understood that the latter informed him that the Government would ask Parlia- ment at the approaching session to in- crease the subsidy for a line of steamers from $500,000 to $150,000. If this were not done the concern which Mr. Arm- strong represents would not touch it.

The closing scene in the Ifeoper trial Was enacted when Judge Delotioner arose te melte his thane to the jury. The court room Was crowded with visitors, who paid the most breathless attention during tbe delivery of the charge. Ime been stated, it was expected. that the ledne would, eharge directly against the prisoner, which was undoubtedly the ease, At 10 o'clock Judge Delorimier began his -charge, speaking 6.rat in.

'Gentlemen of the jury—We have now nearly come to the end of the most im- portant and sensational murder case ever known in this country." The Judge then reviewed the evidence. Be told the jury that they were the real judges in the case, and as such :should be above all prejudice or fear. The appeals that had been made to their feelings should not influence them. They must be featless and honorable and do their duty like sadiers and true men, and not for one moment forget the oath they had taken. "I charge you to render a verdict of guilty if you think the facts presented to you warrant such a verdict," he said. If there was any reasonable doubkethe prisoner, however, was to be given it. The prisoner was charged with poisoning his wife on September 18. The question to be decided was, had deceased met her death by natural causes or by poison. The Crown had contended that all the symptoms of her 'death» coincided with death caused by, prussic acid, and con- sequently deceased had not met a natural death. The Crown had also shown what the prisoner's conduct had been at Louise - vine and had maintained that such con - duet was a strong proof against the prisoner that he did commit the crime changed against him. His Honor showed ,he jury that cir- cumstantial evidence at time was the. . • - TEM LATE sins. noon -En, strongest kind of evidence and should not be made lightly of. In poisoning cases circumstantial evidence especially should have much weight. Poison -was the weapon of the cowaid. -The evidence had conclusively shown that the prisoner had paid attentions to Mee Stapely while his wife was in an asylum and had passed himself off as a single man. It appeared that deceased could only have died from two causes, fatty degenera• lion of the heart or poison. They -would have to decide which. If they had any doubt prisoner was to get it.

LoNnosT, Jan. 20.—The war office has received a despatch sent from Free Town, Sierra Leone, giving the despatches sent by Colonel A, B. Ellis, commander of the British forces operathe s against the Sofas -in the interior of Sierra Leone. Colonel Ellis' despatches are dated Tungea. Janu- ary 9. He says that he started. from Warble on December 26. After crossing a section of the country 42 miles broad, thmush the whole extent of which the Sofas had beeu going recently, the British expedition reached the Rum river on De- cember 28. Here successful attempt was made to establish communication with the Konnos, who were hidden in the forest on the further bank of the river. The Konnos informed the British that the main body of the Sofas had crossed the river on December 18. They had destroyed Yardu, though the people of that place had hitherto been on friendly terms with them. The Sofas then proceeded to Kerrayenna for the purpose of joining others of-ter.e- tribe, their intention bang toeettaeik the British at Tungee, The column crossed the Ranr eivee in pursuit of the natives slid reached Kerra Yernna on. 'December 31. The place was found to be a perfect charnel house. The Sofas had slaughtered the inhabitant's, men, women and children, and. then left. The British bivouacked lir the forest on the night of January 1. Long before daybreak on the morning of the 2nd the ,British started in pursuit of the enemy, who had evidently ()hanged their minds about attacking the British. At four o'clock in the morning the British came upon the Sofas and fell upon them. The 'enemy was taken eompletely by sur- prise. The place had 'been strongly block- aded, but the British carried the position in a quarter of an hour. Two hundred of the Sofas were killed and 70 were taken prisoners. Ova 400 slaves, women and children, were rescued. The horde of Sofas slave traders were completely dis- persed. The only casualties sustained by the British were the severe wounding of Lieut. Gwynn and one private. SERVIA UNSETTLED. NIARICET REPORTS. Japuary,24, 1894.

There is a rumor in Bel- grade that King Alexander has been mur- dered, but it has not been confirmed." The Vienna correspondent of the Stan- dard says:—" Milan's presence in Servia is illegal. If the constitution be suspended King Alexander must simply relien the army. Between 10,000 and 11,000 officers have for nearly three months received no pay. The impecunious radical govern- ment is more than to fight for the King against they whom they cordially hate. On the other hand, the popular element in Servia is too strong to quietly submit to such a change. Civil war will commence; how it will end. cannot be fore- " told. by the boldest prophet. Milan warned King Alexander against breaking with the radicals and instituting a military regime. e The king replied that unless be had his own way he intended to abdicate and leave the country.
