• PARRY SOUND GRAIN ROUTE.
It llas Already Exerted a Marked Effect on
Shipments ilrom Mon tree].
A despatch from Montreal, says
The new grain route, from the West,
via the lakes, the Parry Sound and the
Canadian Atlantic railways, and the St.
Lawrence has already exerted a mark-
ed. effect upon grain shipments from
this port. To it has been diverted
millions of bushels which formerly
sought the seaboard by way of the ail -
water route, and more largely by the
lakes and the Erie canal. The Parry
Sound road hes a fleet of steamers con-
veYing' cargoes from Chicago and Du
Luta to Parry Sound, whence they are
transhipped to cars- for the run to
Coteau, on the St. Lawrence, about 40
miles west of this city. At Coteau an-
other transhipment Lakes place to the
barges of the Kingston and Montreal
Forwarding Corupeey, which has con-
tracted with the railways for the,car
riage. of the grain to lefontreal.
. The new route has broken all records
for rapid transit from the West. A
shipment that left Duluth, en Monday
last reached here in a week. This is
three days ahe.ad of all previous re-
cords, al no special efforts were
made to hurry through ths shipment to
Montreal. This pexformaece has been
equalled by ashipment that left Chi -
cage on the 21s1 int., and reached
be in six and a quarter days, which
also is a record -breaker. ,
It is intended that the new route vrill
carry eteht million bushels of grain

A despatch from Mentreal, Sattf -
The Elder-Demnstex Steamship Com-
pany hae :submitted an offer to the
Postmaster -General of Canada to carry
the mane between Montreal and Bris-
tol free of charge, It IS clainneU hy
the coMpeny that, with the splendid
service they now have, they caaAcerry
mail from Monteeal to Bristol quicker
than it can be sent by, Liverpool, the
only present mail route, A large quail-
tity of Canadian exports goes to Bris-
tol, and. a day saved in the delivery
of mail would be of very` great bene-
fit both to exporter e in Montreal, and
to consignees in Bristol. The teeth; be -
the, two places has been grow-
ing very- rapidly in the Ia.se few yeais,
and the amount of mall matter haa ra-
pidly inerea,stide
Elder, Dempster and Company, offer
to carry the mails free betweeni these
points because of. the very great, con-
venience it would be to the{ merchants
and exporters sending produce or ;ether
freight by their Bristol line. They
have the Monterey, Montcalm, and
• Montrose on their service, all 'ft ves-
sels, and all provided -vvith cold stor-
ages in succession, the Montealm has
deace from those shippers in Montreal
ing very fast runs, For several voy-
age sin succession. The Montoalin has
made the trip from Montreal to Avon-
mouth, and from Avonmouth to Mont-
real, in ten days. The Monterey has
done the same, and the Montrose has
made almost as good time. 11 the ser-
vice were granted, the mails woulch be
put on board down the river, off Father
Poinb Or Rimouski, which would give
a service of about nine days.
WHAT THE COMPANY URGE.
On this regular and quick service the
Elder -Dempster Company base the
claim of their ability to carry theemails
satisfactorily. They also urge that at
present other vessels than the regu-
lar mail vessels carry a part of the mail
destined to special points. They ask
to have the postmaster at Montreal in-
structed to have mails made up to catch
the three vessels above mentioned. In
this way correspondence relating; to the
cargoes of these vessels would be re-
ceived more quickly, which would be of
great advantage to shippers, especially
shippers of perishable products.
The primary intention in making this
offer is of course to carry correspon-
who export to Bristol to their con-
signees in Bristol, and vice versa.
The Government would of course save
little or nothing by granting the re-
quest, as the regular English mall
would be carried by special steamships
as usual.
The Postmaster -General has promised
to give the offer his careful considera-
tion.

taken forty provinces, and have reduc-
ed Manila. They have 9,000 prisoners.
Peace and tranquility prevail in the
conquered provinees, and there is no
resistance to Aguinaldo's authority.
The campaign, the memorial says, was
conducted with clue regard to the rules
of civilized warfare.
He asks for the recognition of the
independence of -the Philippine Repub-
lic, or, failing in that, to grant the
Filipinos belligerent rights. The United
States are not: mentioned in the me-
morial.

A despatch' from Paris, says

discovery that he the authoef of an

sational developmente in the whole of
this extraordinary affair. Colonel ;Hen-
ry has been throughout the fighting
iallaraoion of the army against, Colonel
Pioquart, with whom he fought a duel.
This new clevelopaneot evidently eu-
tirely alters the aspeet of both the
Dreyfus and the Zola eases and prac-
tically nullifies the evidence of Gen-
erals Pellieux and Boisdeffere, and the
deolarations of the Minister for War,
M. Cavaignac, in the Chamber of De-
puties.
Iri fact, some people believe that
perhaps the real turning point in the

that the arrest of Colonel Renrycwill

It appears that so soon as M. Cavaig-
nac assumed the office of Ministed of
Wax he °barged the official bureau
to make a thorough re,search of the
Dreyfus case, and it was tine inquiry
which resulted .in ihe discovery of
Iclocurnents lately read in the Clamber
of Deputies by M. Cavaignao showing
that proof of the guilt of Dreyfus was
forged. When Colonel Henry was sum-
moned to the Ministry of Wax and
was questioned by M. Ca.vaignac in the
presence oe General Poisdeffere and
others he at first affirmed the authen-
ticity of the incriminating document,
But, when dinCrepancies were pointed
out he at first admitted adding sen-
tences and finally- confessed to fabri-
eating the whole letter. It is affirmed,,
however, that this discovery has not
•changed M. Cavaignacts belief in the
culpability of Dreyfus, but the Min-
ister is determined to punish all the
guilty parties no matter what their
rank or position may be. Colonel
Henry is to be [tried by, court-martial.

estimate of the Manitoba wheat crop

he said: -"In the larger part of Mani-
toba, to the east, the orops are theav'y,
but in money districts in the western
part they are lighter than usual, and
probably below the average. Taking s

opinion that the estimate made by the
IVIanitoba Government in the recent
isslie of the crop bulletin of 17.41'nush-

difference in the yield of grain be-

A despatch from St. VetOrsburg„ says.
-By order 04 Emperor Nicholas, Count
3Yfuravieff, the Foreign Minister, on the
24th inst., handed to the foreign di-
plomats at St. Petersburg a note 4:1,e -
cluing that: tbe maintenance of peace
anti the reduction of the AXeeSSIVe ar-
mataen.t now crushing all nations is
the ideal for which all Governm ante
ought to strive. The Czar considers
the present moment favourable for the
inauguration of a movement looking
to this end, and invitecl the pewers to
take part in an international confer-
ence as ameans of thus assuring real
and lasting peace, and. terminating the
progressive I/ear/ease of armaments. The
text of the notte follows:
"The maintenance of general peace

"In the course of the last twenty
years the longing for general appease-
ment has grown especially pronounc-
ed in the coneciences of civilized na-
tions, and the preservation of peace
-has been put forward as an object of
international policy. It is in its name
that great States have .conoluded be-
tween themselves powerful alliances.
"It is the better to guarantee peace

tions hitherto unprecedented their mil-
tary forces, and still continue to in-

not yet been able to bring about the
beneficent result desired -pacification.
"The financial charges following the
upward march strike at the very door
of public prosperity. The intellectual
s.nd physical strength of the nations'
labour and capital are mostly di-
verted from their natural application,
and are unproductively consumed. Hun-
dreds of millions are devoted to acquire

progress, and the production of wealth,
are either paralyzed or checked in de-
velopment. Moreover, in proportion as
the armaments of such power increase,
they less and less fulfil the objects the
Governments have set before them-
selves.
"The economic crisis, due in great
part to the system of armaments l'out-
ranee, and the continual danger which
lies in this massing of war material, are
transforming the armed peace of our
days into a crushing burden which the
peoples have more and more difficulty
tri bearing.
"It appears evident that if this stets
of things were to be prolonged, it
would inevitably lead to the very cata-
clysm it is desired to avert, and the
horrors whereof make every thinking
being shudder in advance.
"To put an end to these incessant
armaments, and to seek the means of
warding off the calamities which are
threatening the whole world -such is
the supreme duty to -day imposed upon
all States.
"Filled with this idea, his Majesty
has been pleased to command me to
propose to all Governments whose re-
presentatives are accredited to the Im-
perial court the assembling of a con-
ference which shall occupy itself with
this grave problem.
"This conference will be, by the help
of God, a happy presage for the cen-
tury which is about to open. It would
converge into one powerful focus the
efforts of all States sincerely seeking
to make the greet conception of univ-
ersal peace triumph over the elements
of trouble and discord, and it would
at the same time cement their agree-
trient by a corporate consecration of
the principles of equity and right
whereon rest the security of States and
the welfare of peoples."
WILL PRODUCE A SENSATION.
earlier in the east, and hence the west-
ern e tion suffered more from drought,
whish delayecl germination and checked
the progre-ss of growth in the grain.
The drought in the spring extended
also for a short distance into ihe Ter-
ritories, and has lessened the weight
of the crops there, but further west
the conditions were more fa,vourable,
and the crops are heavier throughout
the Indian Head dietrict, and also
northward on the Pheasant plains,
where there is a larger area wider
wheat, and the heaviest. drops I saw
were found there. It is believed that
wheat grown on stunmer fallow in this
district will give an average of fully 30
bushels per acre, and that grown on.
spring ploughing and stubble is ex-
pected to average from 20 to 25 [bush-
els per acre.
THE OAT YIE'Ll).
"The oats in this district will also
be much heavier than the average
given for Manitoba. One reason why
the crops in this neighborhood are so
heavy.is that the farmers have more
generally followecl the example of the
Experimental farm, in putting in a
large proportion of tlair crops on sum-
mer fallow. The extent of summer fal-
low and new breaking in this district
is surprising. No frosts had occurred
up to Friday last to injure tha grain
Silber in Manitoba or in thn North. -
West Territories, and in Manitoba the
wheat was then nearly ail cut, and
much of it stacked. The grain through-
out is plump and heavy, and there nee
very few small kernels, hence the pro-
portion of marketable grain will be
large and of excellent quality."
