A despatch from Toronto says :â€" Dr. C. A. Hodgetts has returned from investigating the smallpox out- break at Scotland, in Brant Coun- ty. The disease existed in the town- ships oi Burford, Oakland and Mid- ham. Dr. IIodgetts visited 34 houses, and found there had bee_r_1_al- together since April no less than 98 cases of smallpox or varioloid (which is smallpox modified,by vac- cination). Of the remaining 56 per- sons who were in the infested houses, 45 had been successfully vaccinated, thus forming a striking contrast, the inspector remarks, to the 81 unvac- cinated persons who had suffered from the disease. Dr. I'Iodgetts comments on the difficulty of proper- ly diagnosing smallpox, which in this case, as in many others, was supposed to be chickenpox. In the neighborhood aflected, two-thirds of the people were unprotected by vac- cination, the result of which, the doctor says, is an object lesson to other municipalities. Dr. Hodgetts is of opinion that unless prompt and efficient measures are taken oy municipalities in re- porting suspicious cases and securing general vaccination the approach of the autumn will see an outbreak more alarming and more disastrous than any seen for some years. The following table showing the ages of the various patients in theScotland outbreak is of interest :â€" Under one year, 2 cases ; 1 to 10, 40 cases; 10 to 20.18 cases; 20 to 30,13 cases , 30 to 40,10 casw; 40 to 50, 7 cases; 50 to 60, 5 cases , 60 to 70, 3 cases. Telegraphic Communication Be- . tween Stations to be Given Up. A despatch from Scranton, Pa.. says: â€"â€" Telegraphic communication between stations of the Delaware. Lackawanna . Western Railroad will within a few months be a thing of the past. so far as its connection with the railroad is concerned. Tele- phones, equipped with phonographs. so that an exact record of every word spoken can be obtained. are be- ing rapidly instituted for the tele- graph keys. This experiment has been tried on the Morris and Essex division of the railroad, and is said by General Manager Thomas E. Clark to have proven more satisfac- tory than even its most sanguine supporters anticipated. All the branches of the Delaware, Lacka- wanna Western system are being equipped with the phonographic tele- phones. and vgithin__a few months. accordlgg to Mr. Clarke's estimate. the Main line from New York to But- falo will be operated by the new system RAILWAY TELEPHONES.

A despatch from Toronto says:â€" Twelve thousand farm laborers will be required from Eastern Canada to I harvest the enormous wheat crop ‘ which it is expected Manitoba and the Northwest will yield this year. This number is approximawa what it is thought will have to be sup- plied from outside sources it the great crop is to be safely harvested. and while omcial figures have not yet come forward from the Manitoba Government it is likely that the fig- ures given will be found practically correct. It must be a record crop to require this number of outside harvesters. The largest number ever sent out be- fore was ten thousand, two years ago. Last year. owing to the failure of the crops in Manitoba farm hands‘ from Ontario were not needed. and the railways did not run their usual farm laborers' excursions. Mr. W. Scott. a representative of the Mani- toba Government, has been in To- ronto inquiring into the prospects for securing men from this Province. {and stating that 12,000 hands would be needed. Ontario is relied uponl to supply the majority of the farm laborers required, but Quebec and the Maritime Provinces will also be drawn upon to as large an extent as possible. It seems to be a ques- tion, indeed, as to whethegenough men can be secured. TO HARVEST THE CROP. The Canadian Pacific Railway is} fully alive to the necessity of ob- taining enough men to harvest the crop, and this year will run the farm laboxers' excursions a little earlier in the season than usual. While the ar1¢1ngements are not yet completed it is expected that three excursions will be run from Ontario between August 5th and 7th. The rate go- ing will be $10 from all points in Ontario, with $18 the single return fa1e. The Manitoba Government is at present receiving reports from all points in the wheat growing terri- tory as to the exact number of men that will be needed, and that infor- mation will be issued shortly. Mr. James IIartney, Emigration Agent for the Manitoba Government in To- ronto, is out in the Province arrang- ing for excursions. He is at present operating around Arnprior, Packen- ham and Calibogie, on the Canada Atlantic line. These are lumbering districts, but it work is scarce there men might be secured for Manitoba who otherwise would not think of going out. Western Ontario always sends a large number of farm hands to the west when they are required there. and with the high wages that are pretty certain to be offered the excursion from that district is re- garded as likely to be a very large one. South African Constabulary Like Their Work. A despatch from Ottawa, says :-â€"; In a private letter written from Krugersdorp. Capt. Lawless, of the South African Constabulary. says his command has just finished con- structing a fort which they have called Fort Canada. At Krugers- dorp they built three block-houses, seven feet high, and with a five-foot radius. Through these block-houses are loopholes. The men are con- stantly sniping at the Boers. Just a couple of days before the letter was sent one of the men was shot from ambush by a Beer. In fact the enemy pretty well surround the station. The work is hard, but we are in perfect health and like the Special Protection for the Hon-- Apparent ln Canada. fi-fé." h‘é says. With Lawless are Capts. Bristol and Bennett...

All trgins arriving in cities where the Royal visitors are staying will be closely, watched for suspicious characters, and if any are found, it is said they will be arrested and de- tained until it is deemed safe to set them free again. r vvvvv It is stated that the secret police will be considerable augmented for the time the Duke is in Canada, and that only picked men will be engaged. Directory Increases It 6,000 Over Last Year. «A despatch from Montreal says :â€" The Montreal Directory, which was issued on Wednesday, estimates the population of Montreal and out- skirts at 346,000. Last year’s es- timate was 340,000. In the city proper the compilers of the directory estimate that there are 297.000. which leaves a pepulation of 49,000 on the outskirts. The directory contains 83,559 names and enumer- ates the residents of the eight hund- red streets of Montreal. The direct- ory shows that the city is in a flour- ishing condition, for the collectors of names were able to discover only 2.133 unoccupied stores and res:- dences. This is just a thousand less 169 Vessels oi the Navy to be En- gaged.
