NOTES AND COMMENTS
The Globe, which so strongly disap-
proves of biennial sessions for the Leg-
islature, distinctly approves of snob a
pelicy for the L 0. F. And yet the
•.arguments for and against are preeiselir
• the same in both cases.

pendent on grain from Ontario, will
now revive,

If pledges to the P. P. A. made all

nection with pending protests.

The Toronto Globe recently admitted
that Ontarie generally speaking was bet-
ter off than any other nation of tile
continent to-ctev, and as this oormineet
le universally admitted to be betzer off,
so far as the farmer is eencerned. than
any of the continents, the Globe's
ad-
mission practically means that the
farmers of Canada are better off than
any other farmer in the world.

Speaking of the low price of wheat, a
Writer in an exchange says :-"When
"farmers can bring up the price of
"wheat to one dollar per bushel by
"mixing and grinding it with oats,
"barley and peas and then feeding it
"into pigs they certainly should not
"complain of hard times. There are
"shrewd farmers we know of who are
"perfectly setisfied. and. say it is a good
"thing for the farms of the country that
"farmers have to go into the feeding of
"tock, thus getting plenty of manure
"to enrich the soil. Nothing shonla be
"sold off the feara except in the shepe
"of beef, pork or poultry. Farmers
"who have carried on thie kind of busi-
"neeti for years have been successful."
The same writer sensibly observed that
some of those who "kick at Govern-
ments and implement agents" on
account of the so-called "hard times"
should really kick themselves, because
when wheat was a dollar a bushel they
purchased an additional farm or two,
fled got loans on the same, on the im-
preemie teat wheat woted remain at
that figure. Wheat has come down to
halt that price, not on acoount of any-
thing that the Governments have done,
but because more wheat is being raised
all over the world than formerly. Wrote
they should. do is to change their
methods of operation, by mixing the
grains as feed for stock, thereby not
only realizing a dollar per bushel for
the grain, but enriching the soil, which
in a few years will increase the product
of the farm to double what it would
were they to keep on hauling away the
grain in bags instead of in the shape of
beef, pork and poultry.

Skirmishes Between the
Two Vorees.
LooDON, Aug, 18, -Captain Iles, who
has just concluded a six years' service as
naval adviser to Japan, said in au inter-
view yesterday; "The ship, officers and
moo of the Japanese navy are distinctly
ewmparable to those of any EtirOpean
navy, The officers are eneigetio and stud-
ious, The engineers are especially good,
and the engines are admirably worked. I
have seen the Naniwa worked 100 MVO.
Intions a minute,- whieb was her natural
draught trial speed in England. The
Japanese are very smart with the hand=
worked guns, but do not take so readily, to
the hydraulic guns. The seamen are en.
tirely un-orieotal-olways alert, patient
and cheerful. The Japanese officers are
faithful students of Capt. Mahan, the
American naval historian.
"The Japanese fumy, with which I am
intimately acquainted, is equipped ad-
mirably. The troops exhibit greet dash
and. steadiness•ia shani fights and under
fire and their discipline is extremely good.
The artillery is remarkably well setved;
the drivers are fearless and the gunners
are smart. Physically the Japanese are
ideal soldiers, with strongly developed legs
and light bodies, and they are untiring
marchers.
".I do not believe that the Japanese
seriously mean to attack the Chinese forts.
They are too wise and value their ships
too highly to do that. I am of the opinion
that their recent affair at Wei -Hai -Wel
was a retionnaisance. I believe the Japan-
ese will clear the sea before the winter
and that the campaign will be 'mainly on
land. The usual oommonplatte remarks
about the certainty of the ultimata success
of the Chinese owing to their numbers and
resources may be true, but it is not easy
to foreee the result, Japan's modernity be-
ing a new factor in the far east."
Sax Flue -moo, Aug. 20. -The steamer
China, which arrived from the Orient on
Saturday, brings edvices to August 7.
Japanese people are stirred. to their depths
beiethe present complications with China.
The affair absolutely- engrosses the atten-
tion of people, high and low. So soon as
matters assumed a serious complexion
petitions began literally to pour into the
central staff office from country localities
asking permission, to serve in the army. A
leading dignitary was Gen. Shizoku, who
had seen active service during the civil
War in Satusnia.
The Japanese Gazette says: "The whole
nation is imbued with one spirit -to.
humiliate China. High and low, rich and
Poor, soldiers and merchants have but one
desire. The probable consequences are
utterly ignored. No thought of possible
reverses, of bloody reprisals upon Japan
coasts or of financial confusion daunts
their warlike ardor. In Japan's immense
superiority they repose the utmost con-
fidence. Nor is thelemper of the Chinese,
so far as it can be gathered from the
Shanghai papers just received, one whit
less bellicose,
It is More dangerous because they admit
that at first Japan may be victorious, but
of the ultimate issue they have no doubt.
Japan, with its slender resources of men
and money, can be no match in the long
run for China's millions. The magnitude
of the preparations might well make Japan
pause if she had not already proceeded too
far to extricate herself without the loss of
prestige. But this is impossible and the
two nations now stand. committed to war.
The following account of the battle at
Song Hwan is published in a Japanese
paper:
Our army was drawn up in battle array
at Cahil Won while the Chinese troops
were posted at Song Hwan and Phyong
Thaik. Now, between the two armies lay
a track of rice swamp, through which
flows a small river. Our troops fought
very hard with this river between them-
selves and the enemy. But it being very
difficult to cross this stream under fire, a
party was despatched by the way of Chi':
San, so as to make a flank attack on the
Chinese. The Chinese were not prepared
for this move, and they were easily put to,
flight.
Tnumber of Chinese engaged in this
fight is stated to have been 2,300.
Lemma Aug. 20. -The Shanghai cor-
respondent of the Central News gives in
to.day's despatches a gloomy view of af-
fairs at Wei -Hai -Wel, the fortified city on
Shantung promontory. There is little
*doubt that the Japanese interid to attack
this Chinese stronghold shortly, despite
the tradition of the Chinese that the place
is impregnable. The lights along the pro-
montory have been extinguished and the
buoys have been removed. and the Chinese
are constantly adding to the defence by
laying torpedoes and, submarine mines.
Nevertheless, on three successive nights
in the last week Japanese torpedo boats
have entered the harbor and reeonoltreci
the forts. The crews of the Chinese tor-
pedo boats which lie in the harbor had
no inkling of the nearness of the enemy
until the Japanese vessels were leaving.
The Wei -Hai -Wei forts then opened fire
but it was too late to accomplish anything.

Caserlo and Ms Orlin&
Santo Caserio was born in the little town
of Motta-Visconti, Lombardi, on Septem-
ber 8, 1878. He was Then the youngest of
six children. When he was 14 years of
age he was apprenticed. to a baker at Milan.
At this period of his life he is said to have
been exceedingly docile, with a distinct re-
ligious tendency. Two years ago, how-
ever, he fell under the influence of the
anarchists. Everywhere he was its rela-
tions with French and foreign anarchists,
and some months ago he was thrown into
prison for distributing anarchist handbills
outside the barracks at Milan. He remain-
ed five months in prison and on being re-
leased took refuge in Switzerland. Thence
he went to Cette, where he got a place as a
baker in the house of one Viala, He con-
tinued, to work up to. June 23 of this year,
except for a month passed in the hosnirall
in January and February.
On June 23 he quarrelled with his rou-
ter and was dismissed. Forthwith he
went to Guillaume Vieux, a cutler, and
bought a dagger. For several months he
aftenvard said his mind had been made
up to execute a coup. His plan at last
became definite. He decided. to kill the
President of the republic, of whose visit to
Lyons he had learned, Caserio reached
Lyons the same night. He bought a paper
containing a programme of the fetes in
honor of the President's visit and went
'with the crowd to the line de la Repiab-
lique.
'The President had gone to Lyons to at-
tend the opening of the Industrial Exhibi-
tion. On the evening of Sunday, Jane 21,
he attended a banquet at the Palais tin
.Commerce and left shortly after nine
o'clock to drive to the Grand theatre
where a gala performance had been Ar-
ranged in his honor. In the neighborhood
of the Bourse, Caserio ran towards the
President's vehicle, sprang to the step and
buried the dagger in the President's breast,
His trial was begun in Lyons August 2,
and lasted only two days. The assassin
would not say a word to incriminate
others, declaring that he had no accom-
plices. The jury after an absence of fif-
teen minutes returned a verdict of guilty
and Caserio was sentenced to death. The
sentence was confirmed two days ago by
the pardons committee.

store sheds belonging to the Rathbun Com-
pany and contents were totally destroyed
by fire. The shed was situated close to
the Gananoque junction of the G. T. R.

suspected to have been started by tramps,
as the building was supported on posts,
and a quantity of hay around it afforded a
convenient resting place for such as are
driven by necessity to seek shelter. Four
thousand tons of hay alone were stored in
the shed, belonging to W. H. Britton &
Co. hay dealers. It was insured for
$3,600.
