That British Officer: Had No Other Alternative Than What He Did--The Comment in Many Quarters--The Govern- or's Letter Was Not as Digni- fied as it Should Have Been. London, Jan. 23.--The opinioy. is now being pretty well cxpressed that Admiral Davis invited, by his indis- creet conduct, the insult he received from Governor Swettenham, . In last night's Pall Mall Gazette, for in stance, there "hich. a longinter- view with a placed British official," who held oly. Xomient Davis had landed his marines on his own initiative and 'not on invitation from the governor, and that Governor Swettenham had no alternative to bidding him take the men away, for by acqaiescing in Admiral Davis' Soourse he would have set up a profoundly dangerous precedent. The Pall Mall Gazette says the attitude of the co- lonial officy agrees perfectly with this view and holds that Governor Swet- tenham's sole error was in the man: ner and phraseology of his note. The Globe, editorially, expresses the opinion that Governor Swettenham's course was perfectly eorfect, and ap- plands the firmness with which he as- serted the rights of his soversj and flag in a position of peculiar dif- ficulty The Times publishes a letter to' the editor in which Admiral Davis is ac cused of "behaving in an altoguthu: officigus and presaming manner of "well meant but utterly tactless in: terfercnce," and of "landing marines without leave, as il Kingston was in China or Morocco." The same sort of comment appears in several other ed tinental tions from con news- -- show that in France and. in in Germany, as well as here, there those who think Admiral Davis' nation indiscreet and it was Governor Swet- tenham's duty to send him away.

Districts Have Powers of Production. Ottawa, Jan. 24.--Prof. coun, naturalist of the Canadinn ge- ological survey, in an address before the agricultural committee of parlia- ment, reiterated his declaration in re- gard to the possibilities of wheat-' growing in the more northern lati tutles of the Canadian North-West. Altitude, he maintained, was the de. terring feature in the agricultural pos sibilities of that country, and after one got three miles back from Hudson Bay it was noticed that the affect of that body of water on vegetation dis- appeared. » A noteworthy thing about wheat-growing was that the grain seemed to mocomodate itself in a re markable degree to the climate in which it was grown, Northern John Ma- Unique Ceremony In London.
