The British view of this latest more is that the, Marquis of Salisbury and his Ministers are delighted to afford 'Major Marchand the fitoilities for reaching Cairo.

Court or Cessation Hakes the nnonnee- talent That it Will Institute a Supple. meniary Enquiry. A despatch from Paris says:— The Dreyfue ease is to be again tried. On Saturday the Court of Cessation, which has been hearing the application, made known its de ision to. grant a revision of the case ated institute a supplemen- tary enquiry. The court, however, has declined to warder the release of Dreyfus. The decision of the court, textually, is as follows:—"In view of the letter of thx •sSep- tember, 20, 1898 ; in view of the argu- ments of the public prosecutor, de- nouncing to the court the condemna- tion pronounced by the fink court-mar- tial of the elilitary Government of Paris on December 22, 1891, against Alfred rey us, thou a captain of ar- lellery attaohed to the general staff ;in view of all the documents in the ease, and also of axtieles 443 to 436 of the code of criminal procedure, amended by the law of June 10, 1895, relative to the achnissibility of an application in proper form and. revision.

A despatch from Santiago de Cuba says :—A rumour that the Govern- ment transport Panama went down in a gale 'in the Windward passage, off Cape hIaysi, on Tuesday, and that few of her passengers or crew escaped, has caused great uneasiness here. There is no telegraphic ooramunication be- tween Santiago and Cape Maysi, and it: is therefore impossible to verify the story at present. The report was brought by a fishing schooner which arrived here on Wednesday morning. Hex captain says that he picked up ae, quantity of wreckage marked Panama. Tim Panama was e prize that was cap- tured during the war. She was not in the best of shape when she left here Monday. Her bottom was fouled with marine growth, and her engines were in bad condition. Many seamen here considered her unsafe. She bad 300 persons on board—passengers and crew—and was bound for heew 'York by way of the north mast and Havana. 1 Congressman Dalzell,former Con- gressman Huff, of Pennsylvania, and a party of friends, who epent several days here, were an board the Pa/tares,. A number of officers who were bound. home on sick leave were also among her passengers. The Panama. carried no mail. Post- master Hugo Hydeman considered her unsafe, and rsfused to put the mail- bags aboard of her. . • A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY. Canadian Canners and the 'War and Ad- iniralty. Supplies. A. despatch from Ottavva, says; — Lord Strathcona, Canadien High Com- tnis4oner, is manifesting his interest in Canadian affairs by endeavouring to find new markets for Canadian pro- ducts. He has been,in immniunication with the War Office and tbe Admir- alty in reference to Canadians eupply- hat to these departments some of the prodacts whieh are annually requited by them in large quantities. A good opportunity is now offered to Canadian miners, and thoee who supply whet are known in Englancl as preserved provisione. Lord Strathoon.a says those Canadian manufacturers in the lines mentioned who desire to tett. der should eubmit samples of their ptoduets, such as canned beet, earned mutton, tinned bacoo, sliced canned fruits, entitled vegetables, and evapor- ated vegetables, to the proper slut bori- ties of the War Ofeicet in order that if approve& their names may be placed on the special li-t, as tenderers for eh -so commodities are, only invited for certain tipeeitely teleei 'it. brands. • The War Office intones the High Commiettioner that if these samples are sent and approve& arrangements will be mule to give an opportunity to those Canadian firing to teoder. In the Mediterranean the forces are sunder— England. France. Battleships. . . . 10 6 Cruisers . . . . 11 10 Torpedo craft. . . . 18 9 while England eas in reserve two old ironciads and a dozen torpedo boats, and France three battlesbips and about sixty torpedo boats. The French squadron could be quickly reinforced by four more good but small battle- ships and three or tour eruisers. England has at the present time, be- sides the ships enumerated above, a torpedo ram, a torpedo depot ship, and two' cruisers in the Mediterranean. The last two have just been relieved. The battleships off the French Medi- terranean fleet are, though few in number, all new and very fast. Le Yacht, the leading French naval paper, says of them, "They are of extraor- dinery offensive and defensive strength. They would have no reason to fear an equal number of adversaries belonging to a foreign fleet." Of the eix, four have steamed at seventeen knots for twenty -lour hours, and are faster' than any completed British- battleship be Europeen waters. They have done this with their full /oad. The other two are slower. • Our greatest danger inethe Mediter- ranean is the way in which our fleet is scattered. At such a juncture our ships—whicla are none too e numerous in that sea—might well be concen- trated.Perhaps such a concentration is already quietly' taking place. England has one new and fast battle- ship—the Canopus—nearly ready. But for the unhappy strike she and thvo of her sisters would by now have been at sea. Given time and a sufficiency of of- ficers England could add to her strength, besides • the above ships, three armoured cruisers, twenty old battleships, mostly armed with muz- zle -loaders, ten fine cruisers, and twelve destroyers. Sh.e _ could also strengthen her fleet by the purchase of ships building fax foreign powers in England, and now near completion. Of these there are several available. saturating it in a strong soletion of 1 alum water. When thoroughly dry the paper poles and spars thus treated I• well RESIST THE ACTION OF FLAMES. "The manufacturer of enamelled paper bricks, which commenced in , 1896 has now beoome a definite in - 1 industry, as the material has been used foe building purposes all over the United States with very satisfac- tory results. • "The production of these bricks on, 1 the hollow principle is a marked fee - 1 ture in their form, the object being 1. practically the same as that sought in 1 the making of hollow forged steel shafting. Not only is te defective cen- tre removed, but it is possible to put a mandrel into the hollow, and, by ap- plying- pressure the walls are opera- , ed upon from. bot.b, inside and outside. When a solid body is heated the tem- • perature of the interior always varies frons that of the outer portion, at first often resulting in the expansion of one or the other that ceases the de- fects. It is for these reasons that the plan of forming the bricks upon the hollow principle and plugging them afterward. is of advantage. Sawduet is- found to be a good filler for this purpose. It is first fireproofed, as is also the paper pulp used in the bricks, and then it is mixed with cement and pressed into the hollow of the bricks and em.00thed and enamelled over. "Allough paper horseshoes are a • recent invention, /teeing only been manuftweared within the past two years, their use has already become quite large with the owners of fine horses, especially in cities where as- phalt pavements abound. On such . rottd,s in wet weather a horse fitted • with paper shoes is less liable to slip ' than when provieed with iron ones, j and, besides, being light and comfort- • able for an animal to wear, they are 1 said to be more &arable than iron ' shoes, and are more easily and snugly fitted to the hoof. flee paper horseshoe is made in practioally the same way that a papa. car wheel is formed.

The glue ' or paste in a mixture of Venetian tur- pentine, linseed.• oil, powdered cheek lacquer, and. it does not become brit- tle when drying. The moist mass of paper and glue is subjected to a strong pressure in a hydraulic press, the holes through which the nails are driven in fastening the shoe to a horse's hoof being punched while the paper is still moist. The blacksmith fastens them on with nails in the us- ual manner. These shoes cost from *150 to $2 per set." FRENCH OFFERED AID. Statement That the Dervishes were bleated • to Protect themselves Ender the Tricolor *Before Onidurnian. A despatch from London says:—The Chroniele says it has received "e very grave story regarding • Major Mar- chan.de action on the Tipper Nile." The paper declines to guarantee the accur- acy of the story, but deolares that it hes every appearance of trustworth- iness. It adds that, if the story is true, it is. calculated . to greatly in- crease the tension . between England and France for which reason it re- . frains from making the nssertion, but it appeals to the Government, in the publie interest, to answer the foilow-1 ing questions:— i " Does the Government possess infor- . realism concerning a communication ' from Major Marcbenti to the Khalefa before the battle of Omdurman? " rf so, did the communioation invite the eltehalita to boisi the French flag with a view to becoming an ally of . France and so deterring the Anglo.1 Egyptian forces from attacking him? I " Has the tommintication, the flag, - and the, Khatifa's. reply fallen into the , Sirdar's hands?" • •I The Chronicle speaks mysteriously ot knewledge that the story is going' further," :and that it is "about. to be , published in a cot/trier over which we; exercise na control." Hereupon it bitena i the opinion that the Government ought , to deny Uhe story if it is untrue. SPIRITS FOR SiVIOKELESS P.

A sensation has been caused by the arrest on Monday Morning of a sup- posed Russian spy at a fort near Har- wich. The man was already under sur- veillance, and went to a redoubt, where he tried to obtain some infor- mation, from a sentry regarding the fortifications, He was promptly arrest- ed, and enquiries are being made re- garding his antecedents. GROWING GOLD. The • Mystery Explained ley a Chemists' Experiments, It is generally supposed. that the nug- gets which Inc found in the river grav- els of Klondike and other auriferous regions have been brought down by the rivers direct from the reefs in wbich the gold originally lay. Many practical miners and scientific men, however, have long been of ophie ion that this eannot be the case, for no masses of gold of so large a size are ever found in the reefs themselves. They believe, on the other hand, that the nuggets bave grown where thee, are now found, just as a crystal of salt will grow in strong brine; but with so insoluble e substance as gold it was difficult to understand how suoh growth could take place. Experiments carried out in Australia have shown that decaying vegetable matter will cause the deposition of gold from so- lutions of gold salts, but these salts • are not known to occur in reefs, The mystery is DOW solved. 'A Slavon- ic chemist named Zeignuely has just shown that go.ld itself can exist in a soluble Parra. 1.3y acting on a slightly alkaline solution of it gold salt with formaldehyde and submitting tho pro- duct to dialysis he has succeeded in ob- taining gold in a colloidal condition, in which state it is soluble in water and my be precipitated by the ad- dition of weapon snit.
