The Moroccan incident may blow past and it may not. A geod deal de pends upon the performance of Em- peror William, who, ever since: his ascent to the throne of Germany, has Leen given to meteoric displays at the most unexpected seasons. The first surprise came when his nibs dropped off a Mediterranean cruise to say a few things to the Moroccans, indicating that they had ed this with the somewhat brusqiie demand that the future of Morocco be determined by a European ouncil in which he hopes to dominate. The emperor is pretty well advised, the best diplomats and militafists in the empire, and has an intelligenge de: partment which is unsurpassed by any nation. So that he is at all times pretty well posted. But he has no one who can keep him from talking, and in the impulses which come to him at times he is given to saying very rash things. He evidently assumes that he is the master of the situation and he is disposed to play the dictator, Much rests upon the attitude and in- fluence of Great Britain. She has an understanding with France about Mor- oced; and to the extent of a sway of the Moors in return for the freedom Great Britain has in Egypt, the one point of special arrangement being that Morocco shall not be fortified oppo- site to Gibraltar. «The idea does not please Emperor William at all. He sees in the action of France the usurpation which is hateful' to him, and as clearly as he recede from 'the position she has taken ? Can she do so without humili- ation ? And if not, and Germany pre- umes to assert its power, what will The situation is a 'very serious one. ime being from Asia to Furope and it makes peace-loving people tremble 18 to what may happen.

The procedure was so remarkable that he concluded it was followed for & purpose, and so he had withdrawn his proposal to acquire the road and franchise. This information came after the council had, as a mat- ter of policy, discussed the conces- sions it wal 'dikposed to grant to any company: whieh: would operate the road. These concessions are fully set out in the ngwa! columne of this paper, The orlly We item is the exentp- tion from taxation, and it is only a little over 8600, on the railway sys- tem proper, 'inchiding the school taxes which must be paid in any case, The 'other details being agreed to, theaation 'of .exemption will be re to the people for their approval and it may be that {t must have legis- lative sapetion in a »pecial act. The point of most serious concern about the proposition was that res- pecting the: power. The idea is that the new company shall have its own Power station, and 'that something towards providing it shall be done at once, : = Meanwhile the city will arrange to give the road motive power at cost, but only, on condition that it installs its own engine before August lst, and that during the: succeeding month it asks for only steam and the attend- ance of an engineer, at such a cost as the light, heat and power committee and the company may agree upon.

He is will- ing to give such evidence of them as will satisty "tHe people upon this point. Whether the council can grant his request is another consideration. It will be enquired into.by the city soli- citor who will meet with the finance committee and advise upon the issue, Editorial Notes. Any alderman that is so thin skinned or sensitive that he is afraid of criticism, 3, the papers or the peo- ple, should not be in the council. Some commotion has heen eansed by the threatened belt of Mr. Monk and thers from the comservative party in 'Quebbe. The party is so weak and that it cannot stand much of a strain. Aldermgn King would not like manage 'the street railway, as a municipal enterprise, and submit to newspaper criticism. The problem is 80 remote that there is really no use in talking about it. Kuropatkin has again been heard from. He thinks Russia's honor "has come. For what? Success? The general was going. to sign the terms of peace in Tokio and led his men to the greatest slaughter of which there is a record, aid to The banks are good to their retir- ing officials who have been faithful in the disgharge of duty. The Merchant's pays to ifs retiring general manager a bonus of £50,000, and an annual allowance of £6,000. That shows ap- preciation. loads ! For the first time in the recollection of the Whig. the council was address ed last evening by a deputation of women. They seemed to make an im- pression, too. They certainly did not hesitate' to shatply call one of the aldermen 'to account. The difficulty it seemis about the deportation of an individual is that he may be led to the boundary line (national), but he cannot be push- ed over it without the danger of trespass. The point is fner than any- thing that has heen. - : , -- Vill a canal ever be built from Georgian Hay to Nontreal? It is doubtful. The twelve-foot canal is considered nae uate, and a twenty- one-foot canal will cost from £100, 000,000 to $136:000,000. Against the Jot succeed. ! '| Ald. MaMen THE CITY.
