HURRY ORDERS TORPEDO OFFICERS APPOINT- ED TO SHIPS. ° The War Office is Flanning WA Give Compulsory Military Training to All Male British Subjects Between Eighteen and Twenty-Two Years of Age. London, Dec. 19.--The Daily Express claims to have authority for stating that all torpedo officers under in- struction at Portsmouth #and Deven- port have been secretly ordered to hurry themselves in readiness for mo- bilization and have been appointed to various ships. The Expréss connects the orders with the situation in the far east and declares that it is evi- dent that the admiralty is apprehen- sive of war. The statement is printed, with some appearance of truth, that the war? office is preparing a scheme for the compulsory military training of, all male British subjects between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two for brief annual periods which will amount to three and a half months in four years. It is estimated that 1,165,000 youths would undergo the training annually, Herbert B.

The Times' correspondent at Pekin says the Russians are using every means in their power to induce China to come to an agreement regarding the Russian ocenpation of Manchuria. The Chinese ministers at St. Peters: burg and Tokio both have telegraph- vd to "the Wai-Wupu (the hoard of foreign affairs) urging it to agree quickly saying that now or never is the opportunity. The message fell flat it being known that both ministers were prompted by the Russian foreign office. The French minister is re- echoing the sficdal declaration at Paris, even at this juncture shen Rus- sin"s reply to Japan's irreducible minimum demands is known to be vorable, and declaves that: the nege ations promise a pacific issue. WHO WILL GET IT? MN ------ Parker And Have Friends. New York, Dec. 19.--Gossip as to the next democratic presidential no- mince is rife in this city. Each day Judge Parker seems nearer the hearts of the David B. Hill coterie, while there are others who insist that it will be impossible for Mr. Cleveland to refuse the namination if the" peaple insist on his having it despite his re- cent announcement that kis determina- tion not again to enter the political field is unalterable. The only draiw- back to Judge Parker is that he,is a friend of Mr. Hill, who is not on the best of terms with Charles F. Murphy, the leader of Tammany Hall; and since Tammany plays such an impor tant part in the democratic elections, of course that organization must be considered. It is doubtful if Tammany will support Parker, unless the de- mand for kis nomination comes irom all over the colintry. That organiza-' tion's indifference toward him can be traced to the lack of cordiality tween Messrs. Murphy and Hill. Both Cleveland ---- Resolutions Adopted. Winnipeg, Dec. 19.--The North-West grain growers' convention, at Regina, adopted resolutions again drawing at- tention fo the total incapacity of the existing railways to properly handle western traffic and to the necessity of or compelling said railways to bet equip their lines with rolling sto To this end the association instuct- ed its executive to take steps to ut the whole matter before the railw is commission as soon as such body organized.

PIERRE SMUGGLERS, Planning For An Unusually Busy Season. 8., Dec. 19.-It is stated that an elaborate campaign of smug gling is being inaugurated in St. Pierre, and that Cape Breton is to be the distiibuting centre. The utter fail- ure of the St. Pierre fisheries this season leaves the littls French colony in- desperate straits, and in order to recoup itself, smuggling on a hitherto unknown scale is the outcome. It is stated that Canacian customs and revenue officers have received intima. tion of she daring scheme. St. Pierre is probably the greatest ae centre in the world. Nominally the headuarters of 10,000 fishermen who cross from France each year to trawl for codfish, it is really the distribu- ting point for thousands' of dollars' worth of valuable commoditips. The Canadian government is defrauded yearly out of thousands of dollars by the landing in different parts of Cape Breton of cargoes of cheap liquors and tobacco.
