An oificial of the Canada Southern RaiiA way states that negotiations between the Canada Southern and Canadian Pacific Rail- THE WEEK’S NEWS. The Portguese Government have ordered 40,000 repeating rifles from the arms factory at; Steyr, Austria. The London Pall Ala]! Gazette announces that June ‘21 will be observed as a holiday throughout the United Kingdom. The London Standard says is transpires that Russia claims a. wider expanse of Del" rimry in Afghanistan than the part already d.sputcd. ways are nearly completed. The Canadian Pacific will use the Canada. Southern as a. link from St. Thomas to Toledo, Where a. connection will be made with the \Vabash railroad, which has already agreed to an arrangement with the Canadian Pacific. The connection will restore the southwestern business to the Canada Southern, which it relinquished when it joined the Michigan Central. It is reported that the Duchess of Cumber- land is hopelessly insane. A Shahghai despatch says the ten. trade is reported to be unprecedentedly bad. The British War Office has just; obtained possession of the new Austrian repeating rifle, which is said to be capable of firing eighty shots 3. minute. The Royal Commission appointed to en- quire into the charges against the British \Var Office of jobbery in making contracts has prepared a, report, which exonerates the officials individustlly but advises numerous administrative changes. Five Government officials have been ban ished from Turkey for treason. The report of the defeat of the Ameer's troops by the Shinwaris is confirmed. Three vessels of war have been added to the English navy during the past week. The Russian Government is about to re- verse all of Rusbia’s foreign commercial treaties.

The direc- tors now assert that the capital has been secured. Evirtions in Ireland and America . The eoereiunist press just now are giving considerable prominence to the details of evictions by landrowners on this continent, apparently considering that if they can show that harsh and arbitrary treatment of tenants is not unknown hereâ€"as unfortun- ately it is notfithat will somehow justify Irish landlordism. The argument will not bear a. moment’s investigation. Even if evictions here entailed thesame consequences as in Ireland, and were ten times as numer- ous as they are, it would in no respect make the position of Irish or English landlordism any better. The Illanituer, the oificiarl organ of Jluyti, says a. definite settlement has been elfected between the Haytieu Government and the British commissioner with regard to the island of Tortuga, by which the Haytian Government is to pay £32,000 as indemnity. In consideration of this the British Governâ€" ment yields all further claims in the matter of Maunders’ Bros. H ayti will reenter into full possession of the island of Tortuga. The Governor of Astmchan, who was re- cently shot by a student. has died from his wounds. Owing to official severity, the governor had numerous enemies, and had been threatened with death. Recently he asked to be transferred because his life was in danger. The Czar refused the request, saying he himself was in equal danger. Sev- erul persons have been arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the crime. But as everybody who knows anything about the Irish question is aware, there is no comparison whatever to be drawn be- tween Irish evictions, and the proceeding called by the same name in Canada or the United States. The mechanic or laborer who is turned out of his house for non-pay- ment of rent is not thereby deprived of his means of livelihood. It is merely a tempor- ary inconvenience. He rents another house or goes to boarding, or perhaps, if scarcity of work is the cause of his inability to pay the rent, moves to another town in search of employment. But in Ireland it is a. much more serious matter, because eviction there means the loss of the means of support. The sole de» pendence of the great majority of the peo- ple is agriculture. \Vhen the Irish tenant loses his farm the only alternatives are starvation, the workhouse, or emigration. Mr. Gladstone justly characterized Irish eviction warrants as “ sentences of death” â€"a phrase which by no stretch of imagina- tion could be applied to a mere enforced change of residenceâ€"Toronto News.
