Samuel II III, who. has recently re
turned from Hussla, states that Oeorge
Keuuan's thrilling and interesting nar
ratives about the treatment of Husslan
exiles were gross exaggerations. Mr.
Hill visited Siberian prisons and found
the sleeping quarters good and the food
wholesome. The Russians seam to bu
kindly and Immune people and while
they do not erect a series of Palmer
houses for their convicts, it is quite
certain that they treat them fully ns
well as they are treated anywhere. For
this reason, when Mr. Kennnn returned
to Hussla he was requested by the gov
ernment of that country to leave on
short notice. He knew enough to do
this. The St. Petersburg Newsletterorf
ski says: "fSeorglus Keunnnovitch, a
picturesque cud-of-the-Century Mnga-
zinc llarov, called at our olllowkl yester
day and left his cardovltch. We tele
phoned the pollsk and Oeorgius Is now
over the Hue. Call again, Oeorglus,
when the govcrumcntovltch Is not in so
great a hurryoffskl."
When the Chinese government, ear y
In June, agreed to pay the full Indem
nity demanded by tlie powers, the next
question was the manner in which pay
ment should be made. Differences
among the powers over this question
account for the long deadlock in tlio
negotiations which followed. China
could not borrow the money on her
own credit. Precisely as an individual
whose commercial rating Is nut gjod
needs a strong In lorser to his notes be
fore he can realize money on them, s;
the bonds of China must be guaran
teed by some other nation. No one na
tion was willing to assume the great
responsibility of guaranteeing them all;
and If any one of them had offered to
do so, It would have aroused the suspi
cion that It Intended to niulfe its risk
good at a later date by obtaining spe
cial concessions from China. It was
proposed that the powers should guar
antee the bonds Jointly. The plan was
favored by the powers whoso credit Is
poor, becauso It promised the best pos
sible security with the minimum of
risk. Hut the United States objected;
It would nut become Involved In a
transaction which might require Inter
national Interference later. Imgiaud
objected because shu saw no good rea
son why she should uso her excel. cut
credit to guarantee the bonds allotted
to other powers. The only alternative
was that each power should guaranteo
Its own share of the bonds, and market
them as It chose. Hut when this plan
was decided on, a new dltltculty arose.
Japan had made Its claim sultlcleut
barely to cover its expenditures, and
had put It on a cash basis. It could
not market the bonds on Its own guar
antee except at a discount which In
volved a loss of three or four million
dollars. It therefore asked to have Its
allotment Increased to cover this loss,
but other powers objected, and some
hinted at supplementary claims of their
own. Japan then withdrew Its claim,
choosing to suffer the loss rather than
prolong the negotiations. So the long
deadlock was broken. It would bo In
teresting to know what Impression
these hlggliugs among the (lowers have
made upon the Chinese mind.
The returns of the census of the Do
minion of Canada are disappointing to
Canadians who have been expecting
large results from the various and cost
ly efforts which have boon made to at
tract Immigrants and to keep the poo
pie of the Dominion at home. The
complete returns show an Increase of
only ri(.".it II, or 10,111 per cent, during
the last ten years. The Increase dur
ing the next preceding decade was
11.7(1 per cent, and during the decade
ending In 1SSI 1S.H7 per cent. The
hopeful Canadians professed to believe
that the returns would show a greater
ratio of Increase even than that of the
decade 1871 to 1SS1, whereas It was In
fact less than In tho decudo 1881 to
181U. Perhaps they will now begin to
yield to the conviction that the attrac
tions of the United States are greater
than those of Itrltjsh North America.
Tlie United States census of 11HM)
shows an Increase of nbout Kl.uOO.OOO,
or l!U4 per cent, during the decade end
ing that year. The absolute Increase
In tills country was more than twenty
six times as .great hs that In Canada,
while the percentage of Increase was
more than twice as great. Prior to 1SSS
our custom house returns showed an
annual Immigration of from :t0,()00 to
UH).(KH) or more from Canada. The
Canadians complained that these tig
ures represented transients for the
most part Canadian workmen enter
lug this country for employment during
a portion of each year and then return
ing to Canada. Klther becauso he be
lieved this claim to be well founded or
for some other reason, the Secretary of
the Treasury directed that the reports
of Immigrants from Canada be discon
tinued, and for ton years the returns
did not show any Immigrants from
there, though it was well known that
many Immigrants from Kurope lauded
In Canada and proceeded Immediately
or after an Interval to the United
States. Kvldcutly the Canadians have
counted all these as Immigrants re
maining In Canada, and they seem to
have adhered to the transient assump
tion In making their estimates. Hence
their disappointment. They may now
be prepared to believe that many ot
their people who seek employment In
this country remain here. Otherwise
they will hardly be able to account for
the very small Increase of only a little
more than lift per cent In Ontario, their
most populous province. Probably the
reasons for the more rapid growth of
the United States aro climatic ami In-,
dustrlal rather than political.
