Private letters from Tambofi, in the province of that name, southeast of Moscow, say the peasants are feeding their half-starved cattle with the thatches of their roofs. Typhus and other diseases are making rapid headway among them.” JAPANESE FLEET. A Cruise in Chinese Water: in Con- templatlon. Yokohama, Feb. 5.â€"The Japanese fleet is manoeuvring, prior to a cruise in Chi- nese waters. The press is silent on the situation in China, and it is believed the Premier, the Marquis Ito, is awaiting the settlement of the German claims before committing Japan to any policy. The Russian squadron is without smokeless coal, and the supply here is small. The Loan May Be Abandoned. London, Feb. 5.â€"Tho Times on Tues- day published a desputch from St. Peters- burg saying there was reason to believe that if the Russo-Germain loan to China had not yet been accomplished it was on the point of being settled, an almost cer- tain indication of the fact being that the Minister of Finance had ordered the sus- pension of all sales of stool.J on the mar- ket. The same correspondent telegraphed yesterday that he was still unable to con- firm the reports that the loan had been concluded, but that rumors to that eflect continue to be circulated. 0n the other hand, China, it is said, is no longer inclined to accept any loan, un- less by so doing she is enabled to play 03 Russia against England. It is rumored that one of the Chincso excuses for now declining a loan is that the Japanese have rcquc-d or will refuse to quit Wei-Hal- Wei before the stipulated time, even though the war contribution be paid by China. The Times says editorially on the sub- ject: “If it is true that China is indis- posed to accept any loan, we should not have much cause to grieve. No British interest would be deeply prejudiced if China failed to pay the indemnity and Japan remained at Wci~Hai-Wei.” The paper denounces the eager haste with which the press and public have put the worst possible interpretation upon the Ta-Llen-Wan matter. It characterizes the outcry as inconsistent and ungenerous, and says that the portentous vision of surrender and scuttle which the jlngocs have conjured up is merely the result of interference based upon a quite indecisive incident in the course of long and dell- cato negotiations. A dcspatch to the Con- tral News from Shanghai says that the reported Russian occupation of Manchu- ria and the arrival of a large body of Russian troops at Kirin is untrue. Bye-Election in Durham.

References to Foreign Affairs, India, and Especially the United States. London, Feb. S.â€"The following is a forecast of the speech from the throne, to be read at the opening of Parliament Referring to China, the Queen will speak favorably of the Pacific relations between the powers, and will then point out the satisfaction experienced at the conclusion of the treaty of peace between Greece and Turkey. Dealing with India, complimentary allusions will be made to the valor and loyalty of the British Indian troops. There will be a. lengthy referenw to the West Indies and the Government's in- tentions as outlined by the Secretary of State for the Colonies. Mr. Joseph Cham- berlain, and the speech will then express the hope that the international sugar con- ference will have satisfactory results. The first place in tho estimates is de- vowd to the army needs, and the chief bills promiscd will be Local Government for Ireland and the London Municipali- ties bill, providing, as announced by the Marquis of Salisbury, for the modifica- tion of the London County Council in the direction of decentralization. The Daily News says that the settle- ment of the claims by the Behring Sea Arbitration Commission will give oppor- tunity for a cordial reference to the Uni. ted States, whose sympathetic action on the Chinese question has testifiedto a bet- ter feeling between Great Britain and America than existed at the opening of the last session of Parliament. The speech is expected to be long, but rather more remarkable for its omissions than its contents. It is quite evident that no settlement has yet been arrived at respecting China, which will admit of more than a bare mention. The same ap- plies to the West African difllcmty with France and the troublesome Cretan tiations, which are again in estateof collapse.

An Eflbctfve Defence of the Government â€"’.l‘he Yukon Railway Policyâ€"Com- ment In Reserved Until the Pro- duction of Papers-An Economical Policy- The House. Ottawa, Feb. 8.-The speech that Hon. Mr. Foster delivered yesterday in con- tinuance of the debate on the address oc- copied almost four hours of the time of the House and ran the whole gamut of Dominion issues, some of which are so threadbare as to be almost devoid of in- terest. His reference to the Yukon Rail- way contract was so brief and general as to give but a faint idea of his views upon but in the this now burning question, absence of the papers he may be pardoned If be but alluded to the matter and quali- fied his utterances by the statement that the information to be brought down might cause him to change his views. On the face of it, be condemned the scheme, but be reserved the right to revise his opinion. Shortly after the House opened Mr. Davin asked for information regarding the destitute condition of the Galicians at missioncr at Winnipeg was investigating. Sir Charles Tupper- asked if the Gov- ernment would lay the Mackenzie-Mann contract on the table to-morrow, and with It all probable estimates as to the amount of gold taken out of the Canadian Yukon; what proportion was taken out by Cunn- dians and what proportion by foreigners. Sir Wilfrid Laurer said the informa- tion would be forthcoming us far as pos~ sible. Mr. Sifton informed Mr. Foster that the question of Amcr‘can soldiers without arms‘bcing pcrmittcd to pass through Canadian territory was the subject of communication between the two Govern- meats. M r. Foster's Speech. Mr. Foster, who. on rising. was received with faint Conservative chccrs, at the out- set laid down the principle that thclcndcr of a party should keep his pledges to the electorate when he came into power. Sir Charles Tuppcr had criticized the Pre- mier's stewardship of 18 months, and not a word had Sir Wilfrid Luuricr ventured to say in reply. Instead, he rose in almost childish nngcr, seeming to have an idea that tho adulation of 18 months must continue to take the place ,of criticism. He boasted of runny things, but proved nothing. He made an unfortunate cx- planntion of the Yukon deal, declaring that this great subsidy was only for a temporary railway, and made no defence whatever of his sacrifice of preferential trade. Such was the Premier's speech, which ended in a spluttcr of fireworks. Foster then proceeded to critcize the speech. Dealing with the claim of national prosperity, he said one of its essentials was political stability. Fourteen years ago Mr. Fielding started a propa- ganda to take Nova Scotia and the other Maritime Provinces out of Confederation. The good sense of those people was against such a r ova, and they would have none of it; I L, if Fielding bad had his iway, this ( ..,.f0dcration of I‘D-day would not bar - existed. Memory also carried him bill : to the agitation headed by Mr. Wlmun, and supported by Sir Wilfrid Lauricr, Sir Louis Davis and Sir Richard Cartwright, an agitation which led to Mr. Blake‘s withdrawing from public life, on the ground that it was endangering British connection. If that agitation had succeeded where would have been the stable importance and good credit of Canada. of which Ministers boasted Ito-day? When the National Policy, which had done so much to build up this country, was inaugurated how bitterly it was opposed by the Liberals! They could claim credit for good accomplished by that policy, and yet last year they swal- lowed their professions of 17 years and accepted that policy. (Hear, hear.) Take the matter of railway bonuses. ’rcgarding which Sir Richard had said they were at one with the Patrons, what was their record in this respect? The Mr. Yorkton. Mr. Sifton said the Immigration Com~ Bale dcs Cbalcurs operated for six months , at a loss to help a bye election; Drum- mond County deal at a capitalized cost of seven millions; Crow’s Nest deal at a cost of two millions more than the Con- servatives could have got the railway for. And now this Yukon Railway deal. One week before the meeting of Parlia- ment, after a scent conference, of which no one knew anything except those who were interested or wished tobeinterestod, a contract was entered into, one condi- tion of which, according to Sir Louis Davie ten days ago, was that a portion of the contract was to be carried out in twenty-six days. Before Parliament could discuss the measure a portion of the work was to be in operation. Theserwere things which should cause the Liberals to ask themselves whether or not Ministers should be allowed to take important franchises and dispose of them as they pleased. Mr. Foster then took up Sir Wilfrid Laurler's speeches in England, and claimed that he had violated every pro~ fusion made in Canada to endeavor to secure preferential trade. Sir Richard Replica. Sir Richard Cartwright, who was re- celvcd with enthusiasm, replied. He con- gratulated the gentlemen who had so far taken part on the abilityoftheir speeches. Some of the members were inclined to think that Sir Charles Tapper was just a trifle verbose in his opening remarks, but they would have listened to him twice as long for the sake of his per-oration and the incidents that followed. The spectacle which they had the pleasure of beholdlng on Saturday was one which inhis Parlia- mentary experience was equalled by few and excelled by none, save only on one memorable occasion, whenseven members of the Crown saw fit to withdraw their advice from his Excellencyln the interval between the presentation of the address and its consideration. He suggested that the ceremonial of opening the Conm~ tlve caucus should be opened with the fa- mous lines of Dr. Watts: :VBirds in thel: little nests agree, And ’tls a. shameful light, When children of one family Fall out and scratch and bite." Su- Ricbard said that it was quite right of Mr. Foster to deny the soft impeach- ment of Mr. Maclean, when he was charged with having produced the article signed “Onlooker,” but he should not have accused Mr. Macleun of a breach of '0': Hon George E.

Perhaps Sir Charleswinbedtohnltotatbe childrcuof Israel. when they were advised More leaving Egypt to accept jewels of silver and jewels of gold before they went out into the wilder-nus to look for more. The leaders of the Opposition had declared that they had in the trade and navigation returns proof positive of the utter failure of the Government’s efforts to encourage trade with England. That proof, they said, lay intbe fact that the imports from Britain in the fiscal you 1897 had fallen ofi by 88,000,000. Surely these honorable gentlemen did not wish to conceal from the House the fact that for ten months of that year the whole trade was carried on out u- thc tariff framed by these hon- arable gentlemen, that the new tarifi did not come into force unt'l the last two months of that year, and it could not be supposed that in two months they could change the errors of twenty years. Dur- ing the Conservative rule the import- from England had been reduced by one- half, and those from the United States had been doubled. If they wished tocrlti- cizo the Government‘s tariff they must wait a little while; the turifi had not yet fully come into effect. If at the end of the year from the time it did so thercl was not an increase in British trade, :hcu they would have a right to criticize IS. The Opposition speakers hadrefemed to the opinion expressed by the law omoers of the Crown upon the new tariff. Sir Richard pointed out that there were two chools of jurisconsults, one holding with the Government and the other holding an opposite view; it Was not for him to my which was correct, but it appeared to him that the grater the difficulties to be overcome and the greater the opposition, the greater the credit tbatwas due to this Government. and duo especially to his friend Sir Wilfrid Laurier for reversing a policy, indiscroetly entered into by former English Governments, and for obtaining for Canada the proud distinction of being the first to cmancipufe herself and the colonies from restraints, which, by the confession of the English Premier him- ,self, ought never to have been laid upon them. In answvr to the c that a preference was given to nine-tenths of the foreign countries, Sir Richard pointed out that of our imports six-tenths come from the United States. and [three tenths from England, and what did the balance amount to? Taking out France, Belgium and Germany, all of which had been pre- viously given a preference by a special treaty, and them remained not half a dozen millions, and this was chiefly in urticlcs such as was. sugar, etc. to which the treaty could not apply at all. The Railway Burg-In. Turning to the Yukon Railway ques- tion, Sir Richard mid that it could not of course be properly discussed until the agreement was laid before the House In the form of a bill. He was prepared to admit that he would, like his colleagues, have preferred to have been able to deal with it in the usual way, by securing tenders, etc. But anyone who had paid the slightest attention to the position of afialrp of the Yukon would realize that there was mson for great speed in open- lng up that country, if they would avert grave disaster in the event of a shortage of food there. Then, too, the men who were going to expend. several millions in building that road were taking tremend- ous risks. The math-r in its present shape was a huge gamblc. The duty of the Gov- ernment required them not to risk the money of the people, but to take such measures that if the district turned out as they hoped, it would “be a very rich country, and the people of Canada would reap a fair profit. H0 appealed to the House to preserve In the discussion upon this question a wise and prudent course towards the United States. In this con- ncction their motto should be “Suavlter in mode fortiter in re," and on this prin- clplc the Government proposed to act. “We will not surrender the rights of Canada,” declared Sir Richard, before leaving the subject, “neither on the other hand‘ls the Government of Canada going I to be urged forward Into hasty and in- judlcious actions to please a small section of the population." Sir Richard emphat- ically made the claim that the Govern- ment is entitled to the confidence of Parliament and the people, and he gave reasons, first, that the credit of Canada , stands at a higher point than It has cvcr I before reached, and, second, that the trade ‘ of the country has been expanding by . leaps and bounds during the but eighteen months. During the first twelve months ' of this period the exports had exceeded . the import: by 817,00,000, and during the succealing six months the exports bod ex- occdcd the imports by 820,0000,000. Sir Richard pointed to the roll of victories which have followed the advent of the f Liberal party to powcrasaddltlonal proof of the fact that the party merits the con- fidence of the people. It was with no ‘ small degree of pride that the Minister 'mentioned the fact that while eighteen months ago the Government had a ma- jority of 82, now it can count 47 good men and true. He stated with on air of candor that he was not desirous of seeing the Opposition any wanker. because an eminent authority had declnnd that the best guarantee for good government was on active, wallow-gunned and scrupulou- Opposition. An Economical Policy. I ‘55 Richard intimated tho the Gomo- ment did not propose to cont no to dig. count the future, as had been done dur- Ing the term of the late Administration. ."It is a matter of common noun-low " the Minister declared, “that every d”, ' almost every hour, pmiects' mmbmlmd to the consideration of the Government.

Sir menu-c power: out that it wu no fault of the Government that when it came into power it found the country auldled with a heavy debt, and expenditure and with heavy taxation. The income had been so heavily mort- ' gaged that W of having 838,000,000 or $39,000,000 to come and go upon. the Government was practically cut down to 88,000,000 or 89,000,000.

Feb. 4.â€"Th.~ feature of yes- teulay’s campaign so fur us the Liberal is concerned was certainly the nomination of Dr. Dewar-t as the stand- ard-bearer for North Toronto. The mout- : lug was unanimous and cnt-hminstic. The , Liberal party in the riding is in splendid shape, and the carnpaign which the doc- tor will lead, starting with a meeting to- night in Cumberland Hall. will probably surpass in energy and vigor anything seen in Toronto in recent years. There was the ring of victory in the brilliant little speech in which the doctor accepted the nomination. just as there is the ring of victory in the reports that come to hand from all over the province. in the speeches of the lenders. in the strength of the candidates and in the cnthu>iusm of the Workers. The Candidate. Rev. Dr. Dcwart, on rising, was re ccivod with three rousing cheers. In his opening sentence he rcminund rhcm lint he was one of themselves, and not an im- ported candidate. and thanked them lor : the expression of their confidvncv which he certainly uppi‘csiulul very dccply.

He did not offer any special promise). for this thing or for votes. but stood for all the gn-ut questions of moral, social and political reform. Grout prom- locrs are generally very poor performers, and the men who are most ready to promise grim things to the people do not always accomplish the most. Turning to a personal mutter, some people had expressed the opinion that it was incon- sistent with the character of the minister to take an active part In politics, as if it were some bad thing which could not be touched without dcfiling. He had not that Idea, and did not think that a nun Icassettebecomesnmnandocitlzoube- cause he becomes a minister. Re, how- evcr, thought it very proper for a pastor charged with I mixed congregation not to take an active part in politics, because he would alienate some of his congrega- tion. But be in not in this position, as be had been for 20 years engaged in journal- ism In Toronto, and in mgard to his tok- part in politics. he was not giving up my principle or relinquishing anything.
