Mr. Wilson finds that the present goverment has m three years paid aleara SIM for immigrants, while the lete government paid in its last, three years .5;0001. It does not appear diet M. Siam has got more isetush grante other titan Doukhobers and tiallicans, than his predecessor got with less than half the Inoney. The new expendnr ite has largely gone to retired campaigners. including Hug- theeMaehine Preston, who costs atteeet a year at salary aucl as much in es- nensee.

"Educational and Entertaining, etg- gressive and Progressive,"are the very appropriate watch -words adopted by the Toronto Int:Austria Exhibition this veate which will beheld front Au- gust -27th to September Sth. This is the t-irentvaeecond sucessive year of Caneda's great Exposition at Toronto, and each year has not only seen an im- provement in the arrangements as compared with the years that have gone but the quality of the stock is very ahead of what it, wee at. the be inningethus proving the inestimable vaine of Fairs such as that held annu- ally at Toronto. It is an old story to say that the exhibitions immediately approaching will be superior to all its predecessors, but it ran safely be said that arrangements have been made, and negotiations are pending, that warrant the statement that the Toro- nto Fair of 1990 willfully maintain the reputation it has gained- of being the hest of all that are annually held. A good deal of the space has already been taken up,and a number of entries have been made, but there are so many di- visions comprised in the prize lisawith its 131 classes and 335,000 in premiums that there is ample provision for aU ; and, talking of those divisions, it is in- teresting to note that there are no fewer than 55 in class 128, knitting. •shirts*. quilts, cloths. etc.; .351 in claes 54, poultry ; and an average of 16 or 17 in each of the two doz classes devoted to horses and cattle. Thts will giye some idea, Pot only of the scope of Toronto's Great Exposition, but also of the opportunities offered to secure a prize. It is a little early te refer to what is promised in the way of enter- tainment, but when it is stated that 330,00015 spent annually OD this •de- partment, visitors have ample guaran- tee that they will be abundantly pro- • vided for, and the admission to the Toronto Exhibition with its myriads of attractions is •only 26e.

Sttrvey shows Much Porcupine country on Our Side. Skaguay, Alaska, July 16, via. Se- attle, Wash., July 25.—The work of delimiting the provisional boundary in the disputed Alaska -Canadian fere ritory, having been completed in that part crossing the Dalton trail and touching the Porcupine district, the Americans in the district find that nearly one-half of the Porcupine gold mines are in British territory. It had been the general opinion for a long time that the mines, and in fact the entire Porcupirre district, were on the American side. Much of the Dalton Toll road, leading to Porcu- pine City, also lies within Canadian territory, according to the survey. The American miners in the Poreu- pine have addressed a protest to President McKinley. The commission will ;be in the vi- • cinity of Skaguay a month, delimit- ing the provisional line • on White Pass and Chintoot Pass. The Porcupine placer mines, it is estimated, will yield 3250,000 this year. 7: o y al Corn en A dj on rried. • Toronto, July 25.—Th.e Royal Elec- tion l'ommission held an informal eession at the residence of Chief Jus- tice Falconbridge on Monday. • even- ing.
