ed State to the Canadian Northwest, the
larger portion locating in the Alberta
District. indications are very promising
for this year's crops and this foot will no
doubt influence a good many more to
seek homes where they are almost sure
to receive a fair reward for their labor.
Tern Pope of Rome is dangerously ill
and his physicians appear to be doubtful
of his recovery. His Holiness has been
taking quite an active interest in an en.
deavor to bring about pease between
Spain and the United States, Spain
might as well take her medicine first as
last as she will ultimately have to sur-
render. The defeat of her fleets is a
second edition of her naval history in the
peat and unless ebe mends her ways as a
Nation, her prestige will soon be, if not
already, at an end. Intolerance, oppres.
sion and ignorance are not essential to
growth and perpetuation.
PnELnnvenv returns of the Spring
wheat acreage of the United States show
a total area seeded of 16,800,000 acres,
which, added to the area of Winter wheat
-96,200,000-makes a total acreage of
43,000,000, or over 3,500,000 acres greater
than last year. The average condition of
the Winter wheat is 90.8 as compared
with 78.5 at the corresponding date last
year. The average condition of Spring
wheat is the almost unpreoedent one of
100.9 ae compared with 80.6 on June 1st,
1897. In addition to this the prospects
for a good crop in Canada are bright, and
we may look for e, large yield all over the
continent.
Tan council for the district of Yukon
authorized by the act of last session has
been appointed as follows : Commissioner
of the Yukon, William Ogilvie ; members
of the council, Judge McGuire, F. C.
Wade, Lieut.•Col. Steele and Joseph
Girouard, M. P. P. for Athabaska. Mr
Girouard will also be registrar of lends in
place of Mr. Wade, who will act as legal
adviser to the council, and whose time
will be fully occupied with bis other
duties as Crown Attorney and Clerk of
the Court. Lieut. -Col. Steele, who is one
of the best officers in the Mounted Police,
will be in command of the police in the
district. Major Walsh will some out as
soon as relieved by Mr. Ogilvie. when
he went in last October, as stated at the
time, he only went for a year or so as he
could not neglect his large business here
for a longer period, a business which
yields an income fully twice as much as
Major Walsh's salary, which is $5,000 a
year. Mr. Ogilvie will leave this week if
possible for Dawson, together with Mr.
Girouard and others of the party.
ADDITIONAL particulars of the lose of the
French steamer La Bourgogne not only
confirm the stories of the passengers as to
the cruelty of the crew, but fresh horror
is heaped upon these by further accounts
of the cowardice of the officers. "The
greatest ocean crime of the century" is
the phrase used by -The New York Jour.
nal to describe the awful occurrence, and
itis an apt expression. Had the chip
been officered by Englishmen any one of
the crew who had dared to shove aside a
passenger in order to save himself would
have been shot like a dog, as such ale act
deserves. But the officers of the ill•fabed
vessel (excepting the captain) appear to
have been as ruthless of the passengers'
lives as the most brutal members of the
MI6'. The spirit that prevailed among
them was put into words by the fourth
engineer,- who said : "Damn the pas-
sengers. Let them save themselves." It
is diffioulb to imagine anything more
cowardly than that, women and children
left pleading on the sinking vessel while
the devilish sailors battled for the places
of safety that were provided for those
entrueted to their care.
