The Grenadiers formed a guard of honour at the railroad station, and General Kitchener received an ovation from the enormous throngs of people assem- bled to welcome him back from Egypt. The scene of enthusiasm' was almost unprecedented. The crowds at the Victoria station of the London, Chatham, and Dover rail- road were so dense that the police were unable to cope with them. The barriers and the police cordon were carried away together; and the multi- lude surged into the reserved portion of the station. As the Sirdar issued from the royal waitingâ€"room, expect- ing to step into his carriage, he found himself confronted with an impenetrâ€" able mass, cheering, gesticulaling,and shouting "Bravo, Herbert! God bless you, my boy!” cheers for the "Aveng- er of Gordon," and kindred cries. His face beamed with pleasure at the po- pular greeting.

The British View of this latest move is that the Marquis of Salisbury and his Ministers are delighted to afford Major Marohand the facilities for reaching Cairo. But. they would bard- ly care to send him back, except in the capacity of a guest or scientific ex- plorer. That is to say, France would first have to renounce her political claims based on his mission. werhanging In the meanwhile. in the voluntary return of Major Marchand the French Ministerv of Foreign Affairs, M. Del- casae, and the Government of France have got over agreat difficulty froma diplomatic- nmour propre point: of view. M. Deloasse had declared that the French Government "ould not do the impossible, that is to say, recall Ma- jor Mnrchand. Therefore thelatter'a return has enabled the French Govern- ment to save its face. as the saying goes. It is rexmgnized, however, that, even if lhe tricolour of France is hauled down at Fnshoda, the main subject of dispute remains, and may cause anxiâ€" ous moments in both countries, before fhs Bahr-eLGh'LzeI ques’ion is settler; although there has been a confident feeling fun the last few days that war will be averted. The French Minister- ial crisis at' first increased. the feeling of anxiety which prevailed as to the prospects of a pcuoeful solution; but: in the) list of probable new Ministers the British newspapers see a. body of exâ€" perienced and capable men, who are able to lead French opinion. The re- tention of M. Delcasee at the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, howâ€" ever, is not regarded favourably, as he is the father, etc-called, of the Marchend adventure. The French newspapers Seem to have little faith in Russia helping her ally in the present crisis, while Russian de- spatches to the British papers affirm positively th'tt the Czil‘ is decidedly opâ€" posed to war, and has counselled the French Government to abandon its un- tenable attitude. It is even said the (‘zan has characterized the French at- titude as reckless. 0 Point of Consnilon Makes the .4nnounce- ment That kt “'9” Institute :I Supple- mentary Elliqnh'y.

Towns and Settlements In Brltlsh Columbia Invaded. A despatoh from Vancouver, B. 0., Sayszâ€"Bears and other wild animals are coming into the towns and settle- ments in British Columbia. In Nana- imo they are entering the city at night in twoes and threes. and raid- ing the larders of citizens. The Col- lier boys are having fine fun sitting ‘up at night and potting bears as they climb some back fence on the scent of a refuse barrel. In one back yard three large black bears were trapped, but so viciously did they fight only one was killed. A committee has been organized to watch for and shoot brain on sight, as it is feared infants may be carried off by desperately hungry animals. In the rural districts mountain lionl and panthers have been working havoc with sheep, fowls, dogs, and cats. Some magnificent cinnamon-s have been brought down from the roofs of out- houses on back fences and verandahs The explanation of the immigration of these wild animals from their ate customed haunts is that great forest fires have been raging in British Col- umbia and have driven the animal: from theil feeding ground toward thl coast towns. Hon. Sidney Fisher Counsels l'llxed Forum. for the West. A despatch from Ottawa says:â€"â€"Hon. Sidney Fisher. Minister of Agriculture, speaking on Wednesday of the damage occasioned by the recent storms in Manitoba and the North-West Terri- tories“ said the department is not yet advised as to its extent. There is a feature of the case upon which too strong emphasis cannot be laid in his opinion, and it is this, that, although in the West it is especially true that the country is especially adapted for the raising of grain crops, the farmer who centres his whole attention on grain is taking a very considerable risk. The lesson which the Govern- ment desires to impress upon Western agriculturists is that mixed farming means the surest road to prosperity and economy. U. S. Government Invited by Britain to Takc Part at Coolgardie, A despatch from Washington says:â€" The' depertment of Sstate has received from the British Embassy an invite- tion to the Government of the United States to take part in the Western Australian International Mining and Industrial Exposition. which is to be held at Coolgardie beginning March let next, and continuing for at least three months. Special scope will be afforded for the exhibition of mining timber and agricultural machinery goldâ€"saving appiiances. electric, gas, and oil motors, and lighiing apparatus, road carriages and bicycles tent and dwelling houae requirements, iron- mongery and wire work, condensers‘ sanitary ware, cooking appliances, and food specialties. “he River It is stated that the Imperial au- thorities have decided to establish a. large and permanent military camp in Natall says the African Review. The existing camp at Ladysmith is to be enlarged so as to provide for 10,000 men, and a considerable sum has al- rwdy been set aside for the initial works. There is everything to recom- mend such a plan from the Imperial point of view. Natal is as cheap as any part of the Empire, and it en- joys a splendid climate. Ladysmilh, the proposed site of the camp, affords every facility for training troops in the special methods of South African warfare, a fact which is accentuated in accounts of the manoeuvres which have recently taken place. So far as Natal is concerned, the move is de- cidedly popular. Nor is it meant for aggression, but is a simple recogni- tion of the fact that deeds are better than words. , Caravan of 47 Persons and I00 Drowned.
