Prof. James Long's Warning Against Emigration. A despatch from London says: In an article in The Chronicle upon the “Manless Lam,” Professor James Long sounds a warning note against emigration. Are British statesmen, he asks, living up to their duty or contributing blindly to the national decay when with millions of acres of mountain heath able to respond to the labor of man it is proposed to send the picklof the unemoloycd to Canada. Professor Long criti- cizes Rider Haggard's plan for re- lieving conditions. A contribution of 1,500 picked families from the old country to tho new one as a. start is sulncient to extract The ad- miration of the most level-headed of transatlantic statesmen, but that patriotic Englishmen should fall into so great a mistake says little for the future salvation of the race.

Dumuvo Minister of the Interior. The Largest Shipment Made From Montreal. Entente Between Britain and Bus- sia a. Fact. A despateh from Paris says: The St. I’etemhurg‘ correspondent of the 'I‘exxips describes an audience that the British Ambassador had on Tuesday with the Czar as extraor- dinary, and says it, has caused much comment. It is believed that it was connected with the projected Anglo-Hussein!) minim-standing, which seems to be inevitable since the fail- ure oi‘ the scheme for u. Russo-Ger- man alliance.

A Halifax dc-spateh says: The spectacular blaze which broke out on George's Island, the Imperial fortâ€" ress in Halifax harbor, caused a thrill of excitement in the city. The island is directly opposite the cita- del, and is within a quarter of a mile of the important, docks and a large section of the south end resi- dential district. The fire broke Ont about 8 o'clock on Friday night, and rapidly assumed the proportions of a tonliagratiun. The island is stud- ded With fortifications, except a. small level space on the eastern side Where Were the living quarters of the artillery, the storehouse and repairâ€" ing shops of the subnmrine mining corps of the Royal Engineers. There the fire broke out, and as the (ire- ‘lS'hting: apparatus on the island was of little. power it, soon gained head- way. The night was calm, and the great blaze lighted up the whole har- bor and caused so great, a, reflection that thousands of people were drawn to the waterfront. Harbor tugs were rushed to the island and hundreds of bluejaclxots from Prince Louis’ cruiser Squadron hurried to the scene in steam launches. .Thc tars did great work, and after an hour’s exertions the flames were subdued. The origin of the fire is unknown. The property [Of-‘8 is not, large, but it is- helium-(1 a quantity of platin- um was destroyed, which may swell the total to fifty thousand dollars.

MEE : The municipal employes are said to be wavering as to the course. they will pursue. Officials are demanding that the railwaymen’s grievances be redresscd or they will join the move- ment forthwith. Another reportas- sorts that a municipal strike. has begun, and that, the employes of the water works have quit work, caus- ing the city to be without water. It is predicted that there will he a civil war in Moscow owing to the ac- tion.of the shopkeepers, who, fearing ruin through the dislocation of trade are arming themselves against the strikers. The railway men in St. Petersburg are still Working, but the question of striking is being discussed. A deSpatch to the London Times from St. Petersburg says that the situation hourly gums more criti- cal. The strikers throughout Rus- sia now exceed a minion. The police officials are demanding increased pay. St Petersburg remains fairly Referring to the holding up of the transportation of food, the corre- snondent describes the scarcity of meat in Moscow and St. I’otc-rshurg. He says it rnqllix‘t-S 12 trains daily to convoy the cattle slaughtered for food in St. Potorsbm'g. All these trains come from the (“01th through Moscow. but. since Sunday not one has arrivml. Moat prices have :11- remly augmented ovm' 50 per cont. Food cannot be distributed to the fmninc-strickon provinces. Everyâ€" whm'o troops are gathvrcd. but scan-Ply over is m‘dvr disturbed. The spectacle burs eloquent fitness to the Hull-restraint, of a paticnf people in revolution. A dospatch from St. Pctcrsburg says: Eu! ‘s'thing than can be learned ll'L'l'C regarding the grunt railway strike imiirutus the continuous spread of the trouble and in:- cased paralysis ()f trade. The distribu- tion of food is; practically suspended, and mail communication is g-icrally stxspcmlcd. Although there are many isolated riots and combats with tho troops, the worst of which oc- curred at Kharlml‘l‘, there is appar- ently no general intention yet to com‘crt. the movmnont into an armed revolutionary uprising. Nevertheless, 1hr situation is unquestionably seri- ous, and throatvns the most" danger- ous developments. Owing to the stoppage of the mails and the parâ€" tial suspension of the tut-graphs it is impossible to verify the many re- ports reaching the capital. The ugli- est of these at present refer to Moscow, which is doscribcd as being isolated from the rest (if the empire and as being held by the strikers: It. is stated that the strivcrstordcrr- ed the post-office and telegraph om- ploycs to strike. and those. having their own grievances, are alleged to be complying. From all parts of the in1crior come reports of pnhliv meetings aqsemb- ling spontanvousiy in the streets and other public plan-es and approvâ€" ing the strike. Those attending conduct themsvlvos with :1 degree of selfâ€"control that is uncommon in Russia. it] was resolved by a small majority to permit the unchrsity to remain open, but as a centre of the revolu- tionary movement, whore publxc meetings might be held and lectures delivered. The St. I’etersburg correspondent of the London Telegraph draws a sensational picture of the strike situ- ation. lie says, among other things that meetings are being held every- where in the provinces, and that speeches are being made by anybody and everybody. Demands are being formulated which the Government would not. grant it it. could and could not; if it would. Resolutions are being passed unanimously and enthusiastically to continue the strike until these demands are com ceded. DOWnrig’ht frenzy, revoluâ€" tionary frenzy, seems to have seized the entire people, who rush head- long,r as though literally possessed. and resolved to bring ruin on them- selves, or else and the odious regime, which is dying too slowly. There are no people's tribunals at work, as in revolutionary France, but there are executions enough, which are carried out in ways that point to local vehmgerichts. Every morning paper brings lists of oilicials, police, Cossacks, administrators, and even Watchmen, whose lives have been suddenly snutl‘ed out during the night. by men who are unknown. Bombs, daggers, 'reVOlvers, and rifles figure in the lugubrious accounts, to which the public is rapidly growing accus- tomed. Revolutionary lynch law has thus usurped the place of official ca- price, which until some months ago freely disposed of the properties, the libertixs, and sometimes the lives of peaceful ('lllZOllS who were often more deserving of reward than pun- ishmont. CARRYING OUT NEW PLANS. The fact is, the Social Democrats and Social llevolutfiinisls, who are tl-e host organized parti s in the country. having matured new plans, are now carrying them out deliber- ately and successfully. They first got. power over the universities and High schools, which are used as plat-rs of meeting for all inalcontents without exception. just as the Jacohins' coment was employed by the French patriots. Sunday night hundreds of students at the W0- man's University at Moscow held a meeting to decide whether to strike or to allow the establishment to continue work.
