There was no earl quake detonation or rain of ash* nothing Jji.it a clear stream of lava and rod hot stones, which thrown t.o a height of seven kur, feet. The eruption seems to be decreasing, ami it is hop.e-d that no damago wilt result. The spectators, far enough away not to be frightened, stood entranced at the spectacle, but those nearer were seized by panic and rushed down from the sides of the mountain to tho villages near by. The alarm in these villages was somewhat quieted .by the Mayors affixing notices declaring that there was no danger.

For a number of years the Department of Agriculture has paid particular attention to the development of our export trade in agricultural products. During the South African war the Department undertook to fill a number of very large orders from the War Office, and as a result hay, flour, oats, meats, Jain, etc., to tho value of over 98,000,000 were purchased in Canada for the maintenance of tho army in the field. This work was carried on under the .upervision of Prof. Hobert-jiumissiorer of Agriculture Tying, but, at ti:e beginning present year, it. wa.s decided Division! and to* place at [ of it Mr. W. W.

The fruit crop in the United Kingdom and on the Continent is very poor, and consequently there is a considerable demand for foreign, or rather colonial, CONSUL MURDERED.
