m import and exuort trade of the Domin- ion with the world was $211,762,420, as against $209,514,733 in 1890. Our export trade to Great Britain was in round nuumcrs 49 millions, and to the United Stains 41 millions; our import trade with these countries being 41 and 53 milliom respectively. The record is an encouraging one, and in face of the recent hostile tariff legislation of our nelghbours doubly so. Canada’s Increased Trade. THE Government repsrt of the trade of the Dominion for 1891 has been published in detail, and presents grati- fying features which are well worthy of notice. In face of the hostile McKinley tarifi, and the fears that were so freely expressed of the hlighting effect such legislation would have upon Canadian trade and prosperity, it is to say the least satisfactory to find that Canadian enterprise and pluck has been able to contend successfully against adverse forces of the kind referred to. Of strictly Canadian products, _ of the mine, the fisheries, the forest, animals and their produce, agricultural products, manu factures, etc., there were exported to the British Empire $47,137,203 worth, and to all other t-t‘)t1n1ries$4l,663,863 worth. Of foreign produce there was exported from Canada to the British Empire 86.. 220,662, and to other countries $3,395,- 568. This makes our total exp: z-t trade to Britain 831} 337.365, and to all other countries >343 059,431. The grand aggregate *"lel't trade of :.i;e Dominion for 1891 was therefore $98,417,296. These figures show the largest export trade sinCe Confederation, with the ex- ception of the year 1882. It is interest- ing to note that the figures for 1890 were $96,749,149. The total combiner] The Political Situation. THE sac-:uss of the liberal-conser- vatives in the bye-elections is unpar- allelled in the history of the country. With the exception of the extreme grit wing of the reform party, who persist in giving silly reasons to account for the sweeping victories of their ODpOn- ents, it is generally acknowledged that the results are the expression of a deep national Sentiment. Since last March the rank and file who voted for Messrs. Cartwright and Laurier and Unre stricted Reciprocity have had eXCellent opportunities of studying the bearings of such a policy upon the future national and commercial interests of the country, whilst the surrounding conditions have been extremely favorable to their giv- ing a fair and impartial consideration, to the whole question. The trade and prosperity of Canada has scarcely re- ceived a clwck from the hostile Mc- Kinley tariff, which has given our people practical proof that the reform as well as conserVative leaders have been right, who have all along Contended that our people have a. successful iuture before them even should the trade of our great neighbor be closed to them. The eyes of the vote that went with Cartwright and Laurier last March have been opened to the fact that prosperity is more evenly distributed over the “tarm- ers, laborers, and mechanics” of Canada than perhaps in any country under the mar?

And best of all, the true con- dition of the masses of our people has been honestly defined by the best minds in the reform party to be as prosperous as it is, and not as described by the Cartwright-Lauderfaction when appeal- ing to the electorate in March last. A new issue, as it were, has been pre- sented at these bye-elections to the re. formers who voted for Unrestricted Reciprocity, and thzt issue has been defined by Mr. Mowat and other re- formers against the Cartwright wing of the party. The reform rank and tile who are open to conviction have gone to the polls at these bye-elections with different views as to the tendency and operation of the policy of unrestricted reciprocity from those they held at the last general election. The most eloquent voice and the ablest leader in their party has since then warned them that that policy means precisely what their conservative opponents have all along told them it did mean, discrimination against the Mother land, direct tax- ation, practical commercial servitude to the United States, the ruin of our manu- facturing industries and as a conse- qucnce of our home market, and even- tually annexation to the United States. A sufficient section have not been so joined to their idols as to be deaf to a warning from such a source, and the consequence during the past few weeks has been disaster all along the line to the Cartwright-Laurierwing of t he party Not only has the ‘policy’ become utterly discredited. The record of the election courts, andvthe Mercier connection has: deprivvd the discredited leaders and the faction they lead of the right to claim that on the score of purity ‘hc_\ are quite as good as their onponmts even. The latter how come through the ordeal Of the courts much more succeszuliy, and have been wise enough in lllHl' generation, or have had suliicn'nt hon- esty of purpose, which ever it may be, to drive from place and power those of their party who have been found guilty of negligence or wrongdoing. This is a record which the discredited reform leaders did not make when they were in power, and which they have not been improving upon lately. In face of the whole situation, it is not at all surpris- ing that the results of the bye-elections have been as one-sided as they have been. For the Behrina' Sea Arbitration-Uls- posal of the Sayward Case. WASHINGTOX, Feb. 29,â€"The negotia- tions between the United States and Great Britain looking to the submission to arbi- tratiun of the long pending controversy between the turn Countries in regard to the Behring sea seal fisheries reached a faVor- able conclusion to-day. Sir Julian Paun- cet'ote, the British Minister, met Secre- tary Blaine by appointment today and signed the treaty of arbitration on behalf of Great Britain. The treaty is still sub- ject, however, to the action of the British Parliament and the United States Senate. The exact terms of the treaty cannot now be stated, but it is known that the Board of Arbitration will consist of seven per- Sons, two representing the United States, two representing Great Britain (one of whom is to be a Canadian) and one each representing the neutral Governments of France, Sweden and Italy. AGAINST THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. The Sayward case, iHVolving the juris- diction of the United States over the Be- hring sea, was decided by the United States Supreme Court this afternoon against the British Government. This does not invalidate the arbitration negoti- ations now going on between this country and Great Britain, but it would have had its effect against the United States in the negotiations if the court had rendered a different decision. The court also decided the case of the schooner Sylvia Handy involving points nearly similar, in favor of the United States. Justice Field was the only member of the court dissenting. he ---- 'v _â€" ‘ “.Uhlvlllulllso By this suit brought in the name of Cooper by the Government of which he Was asubject, a. writ of prohibition was sought. to restrain the United States Dis- trict Court for the district of Alaska. from proceeding to carry out a degree of forfeit- ure tendered by the Alaska. court. The forfexture decree was rendered after the schooner Sayward had been ltbelled and Een‘tence obtained on the grouhd that she had violated the Act of Co‘hgress prohibit- ing the catching of seals in the waters of Alaska or Behring sea. The bringing of the suit was a surprise to this Government, which vigorously resisted the preliminary plea asking leave to file a. petition for a. writ of prohibition. The United States Supreme Court decided that it bed the THE TREATY SIGNED” THE WATCHMAN.

It Was contended in behalf of the United States that the Supreme Court could not go behind the record to ascertain whether or not jurisdiction actually existed; that even if his conten- tion u ere decided against the United States it was possible that seals had been taken within the three mile limit. Lastly, counsel for El)“ government maintained that the questlon as to whether or not the United States had jurisdiction over Behring sea w;-.s a political one involving the territorial sovereignty of this country and that the decision of Congress and the executive or the executive alone was bind- ing,r on the judicial tribunals.

A telegram was sent giving a description of the pair and the name they were going under. Nothing was heard in reply until Saturday when a message came from Chief of Police Guay, of Laconia, New Hampshire, to arrest both, as they were wanted for robbery, and that the man’s name was Robert Pope and the woman’s Matilda Winters. Soon after receiving this the detectives went to the saloon and “rested Pope, afterwards going to the boarding house and arresting the woman.

DEAR SIR,â€"â€"For several years, before the McKinley bill came into operation, the sale of our Canadian barley in the United States was becoming increasingly difficult; it will be remembered the crop of 1889, being not very good, was market- ed at the low price of 30c to 40c per bushel, increased acreage and greater care given by farmers in the west to growing barley; caused this. Canadian Barley in Great Britian. To the Editor of The W'atchman. In'0ctober, 1890, the American duty was increased fiom 100 to 30c per bushel, -â€"-ufrer which shipments to the United St: ires dropped 011' v ery much, and Canada had t_o find a. new market for her barley. This year the short crop of grain in Europe made a very favorable opening in Great Britain for our Canadian barley. In November, sales by sample were made to arrive, of both two-row and six-rowâ€" the former was received with much favor by malstersâ€"the latter did not attract much attention. I have not yet. had report from actual results on floor, but I am quite sure it will be found satisfactory. I am not, however, surprised th-Lt the demand for export has fallen off. for many sales made early in the season in Liver- pool, Glasgow and London were filled with shipments quite inferior to the sample, the result was disappointment and resentment on the part of the receivers, nmny of whom refuse to have anything more to do with Canadian barley.

A singular accident happended at Fer- moy the other day to the band of the lat Seaforth Highlanders as the regiment was returning from rnute marching. A gentle- man mounted on a spirited horse came up Just as the band began to play. The horse, frightened at the burst: of music became restive, and made for the musicians, whom it scattered like ninepins, knocking down the big drummer, seriously injuring him, and also over-turning several others. F our of the band were conveyed to the military hospital. The Standard believes that the Irish Assisted Education Bill has been framed on principles which will setify the Protes- tant and Roman Catholic churches in Mr. W. Russell, writing on the subject of Irish Education, mentions the ignorâ€" ance of Irish girls of domestic eConomy as “something appallinm” “Go to any part of the Cou itry, and you will scarcely find a domestic servant who can knit a stocking or sew a garment. As to cooking they are wholly ignorant- of even the rudiments of this accomplishment. In towns the results are lunentuble. There the laboring classes are ill-fwd, no matter what wages they earn; there homes are wretched; they live on white bread, tea, and potter. And this is largely due to the ignorance of the Women. We have had this system of na- tional education for sixty years, and the result is the existence of more illiterate voters in a single Irish county than in the whole of Scotland.” It is reported from Clonmany, 9. remote part of County Donegal, that late one night the house of Philip Doherty was entered by six armed men. Doherty and his wife were dragged from bed and bru- tally beaten. .Doherty was then placed on his knees and made promise to quit his farm within nine days. Two pistol shots were fired, and the ruflians decamped. It seems Doherty some nine months ago got possession of the farm from his brothers in-law. At a. recent meeting of the Painellite party in the Conference Room of the House Jf C mimons, the following; reslilu- tion was proposed and carried unanimous- ly : “That we,ithe members of the Irish Parliamentary party, take this opportun- ity of expressing the deep sorrow with which the death of our beloved chief Charles Stewart Parnell, has filled eveiy member of our body. and our sense of the irreparable loss which that event has entailed upon the national cause, and that we hereby resolve. as proof of our devotion to his memory and his teachings not for the present to fill the chair which he occupied so long and with such im- mense aanntage to Ireland." :1 “lurked desire to trade with her.
