Ostensibly the anraingetment was intended to parti- ally compensate japan for the loss of ,the fruits a her victory over China, ner providing for tbe maintenance of ICorea. as an independent bufferjstate between the ieland empire and that portion of Neirtle China certain in time to become Russian.

If this story is cor- e mot, and it hs in its support the Rus - den demand for the dismissal of all the foreign civil and military officers new in the Chinese seryice and the eppointment of Russians in their place, es a part of the programme of the Bus- sianization of •that empire, a conflict some sort in. the.

Rancher Attacked by Navvies Tiles as the Result or injuries. Information has reached Calgary that what at present seems to have been a brulal murder was committed last week at a place called the Loop, . in the Crow's Nest pass, the victim being a rancher named George Smythe who resided neer Garttett's ranch, in tbe Pineher Creek disteict. It appears that Smythe had been employed for some time freighting on the railway, and was travelling eastward, when some men employed on the Birming- ham contract asked him to give them a ride. He declined, and was terribly beaten. In a few hours afterwards he died of the injuries he had received. The linounted. Police at Crow's Nest lake at once started. in pursuit, and captured one of the men on the road, and the other three shortly afterwards, concealed in the timber near Birming- haan's camp. All of them were taken: to the Mounted. Police post at the Crows Nest headquarters in Alberta. FIRE ON THE LINER CANADA. 111....116 Her Cargo Was Damaged to tbe Extent of at Least 1650,001).

Smoke was first seen issuing from a new refrigerator containing grain and cotton, bub the steamer's fire pumps, and. the city apparatus, which responded to an al- arm, soon had the fire extinguished. The vessel's cargo, which was nearly all on board, was badly damaged by smoke, fire, and water, the loss being placed at fully 00,000, although it will have to be overeauled before the exact extent •of the damage can be ascer- tained. The da,mage to the vessel it- self will be relight. A survey will be held on Monday, and the Canada, which won scheduled to sail Saturday, will be delayed until Tuesday, and. perhaps later.

FRANCE ON THE NILE. 4.0.,4104 SIAS $h# Wrench! ;Foreign Iteleleter Eroright About a Cassis A despaieh from tondon, says eeeTein- poraelly overshadowed. The move- ments of the French on the Upper Nile are again beennaing unpleasantly •pro, minent to those wile imagined that Great Britain ha1 undisputed olaims up- on those regions. It Ls immaterial to discuss the exeet Whereabouts of tbe French elenditioos, It suffices that, meal:ding to the bulk of evidence thee have penetrated to Baleeel-Ghazel, the most fertile province of the Egyptian Soudan,. with the distinct mandate of their Government. If this be true, and the declarations of successive British Cabinets meant anything:, M. Mane- taux„ the Fennell Minister for Foreign Affairs, has brought about a castle bellL, Thus far M. Ha,notaux seetm,s to have the advantage., but the game le dangerous. Fear of war -with France vvill not stop Great Britaia from re- covering the whole of the Egyptian Soudan, and drifting. out any French expeditions whiele may be found thern when, in the opinion of the Marquis of Salisbury, the proper time has arriv- ed.. • Ire the meanwhile, Prince Henry of Orleans is fitting out at Marseilles, and evidently with the approval of the Government, an armed expedttion to subdue the equatorial provinces, which the Negus presented, claiming they be- longed to Abyssinia in prehistorio times; but in reality, these provinces are identical with those Great Britain ie seeking to restore to Egypt, So perhaps, there is some truth in the story that the .aotierity of the Relish is due to tbe Egyptian intelligence de- partment learning that the French Abyssinian troops have reaqhed Fasho- da. that King Menelek is preparing re- inforcements with the intention of fol- lowing up this success, and that a com- mon polioy, which is morally support- ed by Russia, unites Franoe and Abys- sinia. VERY RICH QUARTZ. nen+ It fs Sugar Quarts and Is Fairly Studded With Nuggets, The richest gold quartz yet brought from the Klondyke was exhibited at Seattle, Wash., on Friday, to well- known mining men. It is sugar quartz, almost pure white, and easily pulverized. The pieces were from two to three inches in thickness, with nug- gets of various sizes embedded in the quartz. Tbe discoverer represented that he had found two ledges two feet wide each lying parallel within a few feet of one another, and, also a ledge 30 feet wide, all three being white quartz, the larger one not showing free gold, but being fairly well mineralized, while the, smaller ones are alive with precious metal in the form of nuggets from. the size of a, wheat grain to an ounce in weight. In expressing his opinion of it, Major Garrard, for- merly superintendent of .the Casson Mint, said:— "This is undoubtedly the true mother lode of a great placer country, and on the lower -side, where -disintegration has taken 'place. the find will be im- aro.eosely rich. I should judge the spe- cimen exhibited will goe$300,000 to tbe ton at least, and probably higher." The rush to Skaguay and Dyes, by Klondykers has become so great that many passengers are taking tbe Juneau steamers and running the chances of getting from that point to Chilcoot and Inbite passes in smaller vessels. Every steamer leaving Seattle in 'the next two weeks has all its passenger lists filled. THE QUEEN PAYS A FINE. Mer Majesty Had to Pay Etre Skillings for Having an Cumunled Dog, A tiespaten from London says There has been much good-natured chaff in the newspapers at the success- ful claim of Mr. Henry White, secre- tary of the United States Embassy, for "diplomatic exemption," in the case of his son, Mr. :T. E. White, and Mr. Spen- cer Eddy, e,ecreterey to Colonel John Hay, the United States Ambassador, who were charged before the Maiden- head County Court with riding their bicycles on sidewalks. The papers have pointed out that a few days ago a man who was leading an unmuzzled dog helonging to the Queen across Windsor bridge was summoned for so doing, and claimed exemption. But the magistrate said,:—"The bite of a Queen's dog is equally dang,erous with the nog of another. The Queen must pay a fine of five shillings."
