The Ontario Government has station-

principal streams flowing into Lake
Huron, the Georgian Bay and Parry
Sound, in order to see that no logs are
exported to the United StatePexcept
those cut previously to the prohibition
coming into force. The rivers" so
Watched are the Mis.sissauga, Thessa.-
Ion, tVlitte Fish, French, lelagnetawa.n
and. Sequin. The Grown Lands De-
partmute does not believe that any of
the Michigan lumbertaen will attempt
to export in defiance of the law, but
deems it best to be on tee safe side
by guarding against such a contin-
gency. One of the largest Michigan
firms, Eddy Bros. of -Bay City, have
cut 15,000,000 feet in Ontario limits
during- the past winter, and will pro-
bably leave this all manufactured un -
dee contract in Ontario.

President Kruger's refusal to pelmet
the dynamite concession is likely to re-
sult- in renewed discussion in Pae.lia-
meal this week.
• There is no reason to regard Joseph
Chamberlain's letter to Presideat
Kruger as an ultimatum. Mr. Cham-
berlain expressly stated in the House
of Commone several weeks ago the
negotiations with the Transvaal Re-
paiblireeliad not reaclted the ultimatum
stage. The letter did, however, indi-
cate to Kruger in unmistakable ternas
the Government was seriously in earn-
est in its desire to have the obnoxious
concession either revoked or radically
modified.
• HITS KRUGER'S POCKET.
•There he been many enquiries as
...to why Mr. Chamberlain fixed on the
dynamite question instead of raising
the whole issue. The reason given in
welt -informed circles is the dynamite
concession makes a good test case, as
showing the extreme British view ot.
the London convention. Besides, it hite
hard at the pockets of the burghers,
and especially Kruger's. 11 is popularly
believed here Kruger profits personal-
ly by the dynamite concession. Cer-
tain it is Kruger is particularly pug-
nacious on the subject.
The general opinion is that the
country has reached the limit of toler-
ance of Ooan Paul's diplomacy. • It is
felt that something must be done to
terinine.te the present unbearable sit-
.
uation.
