I TEl.KHIOXE CALLS: World OfEce.111. Manae er's residence 106 MONDAY A I' Li I ST 13, MUNIFCEXCE. Ooiu Paul is evidently becoming a practical politician. An extraordinary Huteineiit comes from South Africa to liay.

It is in the form of a despatch to the London Morning IVt, from its lal correspondent at Pretoria, and is to the effect that Paul Kroner has been induced to transfer part of his pluuder to the campaign fand of the lenioci atic flirty in the Uniti States. Kver aince the unsuccessful mission to Washington ff the Boer envoys, whom President Mo Kiniey declined to recognize, (Join Paul Ian cherished the violent hatred gaint the Chief Magistrate of the leighboring republic, and it would be a Jtreat gratification to the deposed Presi liuit fthe South African Kepubiie, to the President of the principal American republic also Jose his job. Hut lucre is another reason why wily Mr. Kruger will use the influence of his pray tia ou behalf of Mr. McKiniey's opponent in the forthcoming presidential tleetiuii.

While President McKiuley Las been iu sympathy with Great Britain thioughout the war in the Transvaal, his opponent in the contest for the presidency, Mr. Bryan, being a decided demo I'ogue, has frequently expressed his sympathy with the Boers, and has advocated certain unfriendly measures toward Great Britain. lu view of these circumstances the statement that Mr. Kruger has given to the campaign fund of Mr party a sum said to be in xcess of possesses a peculiar significance. No one so addicted to cherishing his precious gold ns is the miserly old Kruger would be likely to part with such a large sum unless there Here a quid pro quo iu plain view.

If he bus given the Democrats half a million dollars, to effect the election of Mr. Bry mi, be has undoubtedly good reason to believe that Mr. Bryan would render Jiiui some powerful rvice ill the event id his election. The latter contingency, liowever, Is exceedingly remote, but the t.ntire episode leaves rather bad Impression. It will have the effect of in ireasing the desire of loyal subjects of the Queen that Mr.

MoKinloy, who is a thorough statesman, and neither a dcuio fcogue nor a charlatan, may succeed him telf at the expiration of his present term us President of the Vnited States. A NAVAL LESSON, An object lesson in naval possibilities has been afforded at Cape St. Vincent, where last Saturday evening, an ether example was unfortunately given tit the effectiveness of a warship's ram, Ju the Trench naval manoeuvres the torpedo boat destroyer, Franiee, through a iteersmau'a mistake, gut across the bow of the warship Breunus and was so injured that she sank almost Immediately. The majority of her crew were lost. Out ol i'rnmee'a crew of TjO, only fourteen were saved.

The accident ii not so serious nit the sinking of the Victoria from the standpoint of a naval calamity, but it is, nevertheless, a most regrettable Incident. To a navnl expert, it is significant ns showing what the raiu cuu do it it tun lie gut into action. TRAINMEN AND CICJAKETTES. The crusade against tlie growing in lulgenco iu cigarettes has for several Jears been characterized by Intermittent steal. The light against the practice of cigarette smoking has recently received a new impetus through tho prohibition uniong the employees of tlm Chicago, Itoek.

Islatii) and Pacific Itnllrond Cuiu mny. "The us of cigarettes," says President Purdy of that road, "tends to befog the mind and make on listless find cureless in the discharge of his duties. Experienc has shown that the confirmed cigarette smoker is sleepy and of no account; he becomes irresponsible or.d lazy. In the railroad business, and especially among the trainmen, it requires a clear brain to discharge the re ejwmsihllities." On the railroad named, abstinence from Khe cigarette habit is hereafter to be a condition precedent to the employment of tipplicauts, and the fact that one of its imiployeea is en smoking a cigarette, is deemed HufUcient cause for his dismissal. fOlcitil of the road aver that iu making A report is telegraphed from Hongkong that missionaries had arrived there last Wednesday from the province of Hunan, giving terrible reports of the sufferings unj privations endured by them.

In escaping, one of them was carried 4m) miles in a coffin, the Chinese out of veneration for the dead not insisting upon a ciose scrutiny. Boston was created a city in 1S22 when it had a population of nnd valuation of If 11.1 IO.Oik). In 1000 the city has a population of 500,000, and nn assessors' valuation of $1,134.71 000. The assessors' report alone shows nearly of property not included in their valuation, and experts estimate that the real aggregate wealth of the city of Bo.stou is about 000. The imaginative statement of an evening contemporary regarding the supposed lemovul of the 10 per cent, royalty iu the Yukon, might have had a more serious effect if the puhlic credited alleged news coming from such source.

But the people know that to have reliable news they must take The World and to they place no credence in wild and baseless statements appearing in an inaccurate paper. When there is news, it will be duly published in The World, r.ud the people know it. All the bicycle people are complaining this seasou of an unexpectedly light business. The wheel has apparently seen its best days. Many of the largest bicycle manufacturers are devoting their energies to the building of automobiles, a.

the craze for bicycles is on the wane. The money spent for bicycles in many rural districts could have been devoted to better and more legitimate purposes. When the fad was most popular hundreds who bought and paid for wheels really robbed themselves of necessities and comforts more important and desirable than the once popular bicycles. There is no variance in the universal opinion that King Humbert deserved a better fate than death at the bauds of i.n assassin. He had a record for courage, sympathy and kindliness that should have protected him against attack, but which did Hot.

Twice before was bis life attempted, but this made little difference in his habits of moving about among his people. The Hamilton Times remarks that there is probably no moral to be drawn from the dastardly crime of this latest regicide, unless it be that stetner measures should be used toward those whose methods aim at disregard for law and the substitution of individual or society rule and retribution. The base wretches who plot such crimes are (scarcely to be repressed by the conventional punishments of our civilization. During the war for the independence of the American colonies small body of soldiers of the colonial army were 1 usy hoisting a heavy log to the top of tho blockhouse that was being paired after an assault iu one of the campaigns. By and by there rode past aj othcer in plain clothes, who asked a little man standing near why he did t.ot help the others.

"Sir," was the pompous reply, "I am a corporal!" "Indeed!" said the other, "I did md know that; I sk your pardon, Mr. Corporal." Dismounting without further ado, the officer lent a willing hand till the job was done. Then, wiping the honest sweat from off his brow, he turned to the little mail and remarked: "The next time Mr. Corporal, you have a bit of work like that in hand and too few men tn do it, send for the cotumander iu chief ii id I'll come again and assist you." With which offer nnd rebuke Gen. Washington left the astounded corporal to his own reflections.

The amenities of journalism In the Orient are illustrated by the manner in which a Pekin editor declines a inanu rcript. This is the polite form: "Illustrious brother of the sun and moon! lands upon tho slave who rolls at thy fi ct, who kisses the earth before thee, and demands of thy charity permission to speak and live. Wu huvo read the manuscript with delight. By the bones of our ancestors we syear that never have we eucoumered su. a masterpiece.

Should we print it His Majesty the Emperor would order us to take it as a criterion, and never again priut anything which was not equal to it. As that would not be possible before 10,000 years, all trembling, we return thy manuscript and beg thee t' thousand pardons. See my head is ut thy feet, and I am the sluve of thy servant. Tho Editor." Concerning the lute Major Borden, who met bis death recently with Lord Bob ens' forces north of Pretoria, Saturday Night says: "Down ot McGill those who know say that in going to South Africa lie was impelled by deep sense of duty. When expostulated Willi by a number of friends ou the stand ho had takeu, and wkcu the dangers and risks ho was riinuing were brought forcibly to his attention, he said: '1 know there is a possibility that 1 may never come back, but then, you know, my father is head of the Militia Department, and I thing it well becomes his son to set an example to the young men of Canada in regard to volunteering.

I think it my duty to go to tho front under the circumstances, and I will Though he had considerable military experience ami ranked as a Major he accepted a lieutenancy, and through all the work of the campaign his counse was characterized by tho strictest devotion to duty and the most utter disregard ot self. Tns example which he set was a good one. He showed that those who called for troops to go to the war were willing to givo qillto as much themselves ns they aked from others. His death should make those who have been disposed to criticise, the Government's course in regard to the contingents more just uud more charitable." Joseph Henaud, who arrived a few days sgo from the Klondike, received joterday a package from a friend lu the uoilh. containing a mastodon's tooth.

This weighed nin pounds. It is now on view at Ifle Granville hotel, witli a gold nugget Wvu Ui OPPtNtttMtR Ld. Lu. ployees, it is staled that tome have smoked cicarottos inure assiduously than CMiidiictors. brakemen, dospatchcrs and railway clerks.

If it lias been shown tiiat thi' habit imperils in the slightest ilofrroo the safety of travellers, tlie action ol the road is a valuable precedent. The prohibition of the cigarette by the nuuiatfouioiit of tlie Kock Island is in marked conr.rnst to the defence of the habit from various quarters. 1 Miring the last live years, several commissions: composed of medical specialists of prominence ive reported upon the effects produced upon men. and particularly upon vomitf nu by tlie persistent smohinc of cigarettes, ami they have been practically unanimous in statins: that cigarettes are almost entirely free from poison and are virtually harmless. It must be admitted however that in that view the commissi.

oners have not boon wholly supported in their findings by puhlic opinion, many persons of hijtli medical standing having disagreed strongly with the friends and iief. of the cigarette. Vpon one point there seems to be a concurrence of judgment on the part of the doctors, natueiy, that for persons of nervous temperament the use of the paper wrapped weed is undoubtedly injurious. AGAIN HIGHLY SI Many of our readers who were then residents in this city will remember that at the world's fair in Vienna, British Columbia's grain exhibits were highly Miocess.a! in the award list and that several bronze medals were carried off ly exhibitors from this province. This nas especially so in the exhibits of wheat grown in Saan'oh, Okau.ig.in and Cariboo, these taking the highest awards ever all other competitors.

The result of the exhibition was regarded as the most convincing proof that not only was l.ntish Columbia a mineral producing country, a lutrfhering and a fishery country, but likewise a land whose capability in the growth of cereais was the equal if not the superior of any other in the world Now the news reaches ns that th ex hibit of Kraser Valley oats, which the and enterprising firm of Messrs. Bi'aoknuin Kit. of this city, made at he I'aris exposition of the cereal we have named and other food stuffs, was so excellent that not only were the firm warded the highest prizes, but that their exhibit attracted more attention than any of the others, in consequence or its general excellence and the re not uesst of the country whence it came. This, indeed, will not only be good news our local firm, but it will likewise prove an encouraging incentive to otlurs in emulating the enterprise of Messrs. Braokman Ker in competing with the whole world and carrying off the highest awards in the respective classes iu which riiey were exhibitors.

EDITORIAL NOTES. Last Wednesday was one of the warmest days ou record in the east. Toronto beat all of its weather records in the past half century. The thenuom I'ter reached V'J iu the shade, and ll'D iu the sun on Tuesday and Wednesday, which is the highest temperature since August, when it was degrees. The intense heat resulted in many deaths, no less than being registered, v.

hioh is record for mortality in single day in Toronto, being four times the daily average. Thioughout Ontario It Was likewise intensely warm, mid in Montreal and Quebec the heat is reported have been very great. In the eastern and southern American cities, as Well as those iu the central states, it was equally ll'jing. The Glasgow correspondent of the Chicago llis ord says: Various tilings have spoiled the season, so far us the Highlands are concerned. The Invercarron gathering, one of the most important athletic meetings in thu north of Scot bind, has been altogeilier dropped.

The Argyllshire gathering, held annually tit Oban in the fall of tlie year, Bhnres the same fate. The northern meeting, one of the most fashionable of these nnnunl events, wu be nothing but nn athletic' competition this year. All this is because the war, which detains nt the front many of the flower of the country's iiuiubiMid. With the prospect of serious f'ghtiug in China there seems little chance of peace for some time to come. Consequently people are in no humor for merriment, and entertainments of all kinds are feeling thu pinch pretty hard.

With a view principally to economise tiiiigaiine space on board ship the Ad ndralty have decided to generally adopt the type of Maxim machine gun, ond as soon as a sulllcient number can be manufactured they will replace all the .013 type now iu use In the navy. The great udvantnge of the new type Maxim gun is that It can be fed with the ordinary I.ee Metford ammunition whereas a special class of ammunition has to be supplied for the Maxims now in use. The mounting of the new Maxim Is also much more convenient for field service thnn either tho field carriage or pedestal mounting now used with the gun. The Maxim guns of the older type which have recently been delivered at Devon port for the battleships Implacable and Bulwark and for several vessels refitting aro to be returned to Womlwleh, so that the vessels may he supplied only with the type.

Their Receipts Almost Equal tho British Revenue. The Loudon Daily Mr.il, in a recent issue, in dealing with the expansion of the Biitish railway system, says that so great has boon tho growth of tint system that it is almost startling. The facts stand forth in many columns of figures in the Railway Returns for the Vnited Kingdom, issued as a Parliamentary Blue book. It was in 1SD7 that the number of passengers, exclusive of season ticket holders, conveyed iu the course of a year first reached 000,0110. Last year the number increased to For that year the receipts from all descriptions of passenger trathe, including also Post Office mails, were Tint was double the amount of tip' receipts for 1S71, since which year there has been a steady continuous rise.

Gooods trattie yielded last year about ten mil lit.ns sterling more than the passengers. And, for the first time on record, last year prodmisl, from all descriptions of railway tratlie, tho enormous total of one hundred millions sterling, the exact amount being 101,007 which, it tmiv be remarked, is only 117,000.000 or 18,000.000 below tho gross public income of the Vnited Kingdom, and is quite equal to th amount which Mr. Gladstone, when Chancellor of the Exchequer, had to deal with in his budget. Interesting, nlo, is the fact that the working expenditure, of our railways ab orbs now ".0 per cent, of the total receipts. This proportion has been steadily rising of lute years, but the statistics show that a strong effort at retrenchment was made during the S0's, when the percentage was brought down to ami ns against .12 and "i ht cent, in the '70's.

The working expenses of the Great Eastern Railway, which is now on the eve of a crisis, correspond exactly with the general average of all the British railways per which is nlso the proportion spent by tho Great Western and the London and Northwestern and the Midland; but the Croat Northern spends per cent, of its receipts on working, tho Great Central Co, the Southwestern 111.

An advertisement inserted in its cob 4 unins BRINGS C00D RESULTS BATTLE OV BOILERS. Tho Water Tube and tlie Cylindrical Boilor lutelligeu'tly There is at present at progress in Glasgow, Newcastle uud Belfast, uu animated discussdua iu relation to a topic which has, for uiuny years, attracted much attviiuim from practical nieehanavs, engineers atnl boiler makers.

The Glasgow Mail, of a recent date, contains nn article, which we reproduce, know in? that it will be mad with interest by our reuderx, and especially so by those either usmig or constructing boilers. The Mail guy: The. memorandum of thr Admiralty ns to wiiler tube boiU rst ratlier opens the way for further discussion oiv the subject of tho best form of water tube boil er than provides the means) for a settlement of the quesiioiti as between the water tule anil the cylindrical boiler. Water tube boiler have now been iu use in tiie navy for a l.Mig time to enable all people itrterested iu the nubjevt to ls'cvmie acquainted with, their advantages and their defects. That they Lave some advantages over the ordinary form of Isjilers is udmitttd on all hands.

Steam can bo got up more quivkly iu them than iu th ordinary boilers, be oaus the heating surface in enormously and the pressure greater. For getting ready to steam at spes. the water tut boiler is certainly the best, but ouce steam is up the advantage which wonts lo arise from gelling it up quickly w.ou disap Iwurs. The cotisuniptioit of coal is greater with the water tr.lm boiler, a iust important point with warships where economy of coal in going long dis ta'ii es at a good speed is iihksI essential. AiviUcnta hich seem to bo inseparable from the form of the boiler are frequent, and attempt Mis yet been iiKide to send a warship with water tube boilers for even the moderate distance of 1.0W knots at full speed.

The Tomble, which on. 'her trial trip made li 'o knots, was once nt to nm to Gibraltar and back at the rate of 18 knots, wi'th Mr. Goselieu on board, to take aoto of the result, and sho broke down ou tho attempt. Such a thing as tunny Atlantic liners are constantly iu tho habit of doing, crossing to and from New York from one year's end to another at a speed little if anything behind the speed they attained on their trial trip, has never been attempted, by tiny warship litted with water tal.e boilers, in tho first place they could not carry unfiicient oais to allow them to tiieum ail that distance at full sliced, iud then there is tho ri if not tho certainty of serious breakdown if they Khould make tho attempt. It is inevitable Unit comparisons will Vo made tween tho performance of the fast warships that are titt.il with water tube boilers and the runs of fast sieiiiiiers that do ml uss them, inid Hi that comparison tho warships do not show to advantage.

Thu Admiralty niak. point iu favir of water tube boilers that tho majority of other navies use them, and that they enramt all be wrong. It would te more to tho point if they could show that any of tho great lines of morchaaiit steamers where wteady ruiitiing at a high rate of speed is essoutial have adopted thnn. L'veryono recognizes that it ought to be essential for warships, not only to get up steam quickly, but also to maintain high rate of Hnnl for a ooiisad.rablc distance when ivquirvd, and it is an iuiMirtuiit point to 'Isj pressed flguiiust ihe water tube boilers in tho navy Unit though they huvo been hi general uso in tho mivy for over four years there is Hot a single insiani of a lung ocean voyage being performed by a wntVhip with water tube boilers nt. a higher sfieed than that within reach of 1 lie most ordinary uiorrhnnt Kteimr.
