Some people bdvg * wondered Major General Hughes went across the continent, on a special trip, at a time whien' he is needed so 'much at Ottawa It seems, however, that he is the only one who can deal' with the "emer " gency,' which in this case is due to party persistency and a spo fis. British Columbia has been re why by land and water, and, in view of the alleged "dangers," there has heen an extensive call out and mobilization of troops. The flurry did not: last long Al | too soun,--~too soon for the men who were on the." federal" pay sheets--the excitement passed and the. order was given. for . a . reduction .in expenses These ran into hundreds of thousands of 'dollars. "The local government ig nored the militia department, and con- tinted the 'outlay. It wasia' good thing: for the' province, in hard times, and it had to be continued. That at least was, the ruling of the Heliride government. It was proposed to. add to the expense by having" the. boun- dary lita' haowaan British Columbia and the United "States protected' by the military. The district officer com. manding reported against the proposi- tion, and 'Sir Richard McBride report. od in its favour. "It §s this kind of misrule; or reck less rule, that the minister 'of militia has gone west to investigate, The war in England, at the outset, suggested a "species of plunder, which the War Office quickly suppressed. In 'Canada friends of the government are foreing expenses upon it. They are acting with the McBride spirit and piling up the charges, whether they are agree- able to the militia department or not. And all these people do not live in British Columbia. Some of them live in Mangston, and the, charges will oe- casion some surprise when the Public Accounts Committee gets to work when t! ; House of Commons opens. - CARE OF THE INEBRIATES. The jail physician has dwelt signifi. cantly upou two matters. One is the mnall "amount of money speut in AIUgs. This may mean a scamping of medicine for the sake of economy, or it may mean: 4 merciful gaving of the unfortunate = prisoners from = the effects of thei# own imprudence.

Hicki, was ques- tioned Saturday concerning the polit- ical demands made by Japan upon China following the occupation by Japanese troops of the Kiau-Chau territory, and which are now under discussion between the two countries.
