The toial

Of the exports from Algeria Inst year, amoniting in value to 261,945,000 francs. France again took an enormous proportion, 211,221,000 francs in value and left only 50,724,000 francs, for the rest of the world.

Leaving France now but of the question, et we regard the position which Germany takes in competition with other countries for the remainder of the Algerian commerce which is left over by France.

On the list of bayars Garmany takes the fourth place; paying 4,583,009 francs for the goods bought from Algeria, sud is only mie- passed by Great Britain, with 15,701,000 francs, Tanis, with 12,633,000 frates, and by Belgium, with 6,324,000 francs. As a seller, however, Germany falls to seventh place on the list, ber gobis apparently meeting with bat little appreciation and fading a very scanty market in Algeria Morocco, with 16,107,000 francs. Great Britain with 7,482,000 fraces, Spain, with 5,957,000 francs, Tauis, with. 5,701,000 franca, America, with 4,095 000 frames and

Italy, with 2,520,000 francs, all come in order before Garmany, whose exports in 1901 into Algeria were only valued in foto at the very meagre total of 908,000 franes,

According to these figures, the goods and pro- duets which Germany at present takes from Algeria, are worth five times as much as those which she senda thither, but still it must be taken into account that many shipments of Algerian exporta, appearing in the statistical tables as exported to Belgium, are in point of foot intended for Germany; many Gorman merchants find it preferable and cheaper to hare their goods shipped to Antwerp and thence transhipped to their destination by German lighter or tramp-stemmers, and as such ship: ments are credited to the Belgian trade, a consequent error to the disadvantage of the German statistics occurs in the oficial statis- tical rotures for the year.

THE ESCAPE OF A SWINDLER IN JAPAN.

The Kobe Chronicle writes :- The American, Charles Clifford, who was

recently sentenced in the Kobe Chibo Saibansho

to six months' imprisonment for frand, which was confirmed in the Osaka Appeal Court, managed, as already stated in our columns, to effect his escape a few weeks ago when being transported from Osaks to Kobe prison, and his is still at largo. At the time we were asked not to mention Clifford's escape, the police thinking it would impede them in their efforts to arrest him, It was on Christmas Day or the day before that be managed to give the authorities the slip. He had been temporarily confined in the gaol in the former settlement. after arriving at Sannomiya Station from Osaka, and was about to be taken to the train again en route for Kobe prison, when he WIRE, &C., &c. disappeared. Clifford was not devoid of a muring sense of humour, for a short while before Le had asked the polica what he was going to have for his Christmas dinner.

A correspondent writes to the Tiner The manner in which the fusi measures for

In the face of the North-West winter. any besitation in deling with those men, 20companied as they were by bosts of women and helpless children, would have involved consequences of the most disastrous description. Accordingly, while the men were allowed for the time to continue their march, wit a few mounted police in their train, Yorkton, the first practicable point where they |1,100 women and children had been stopped at

Five hundred belonging to the Swan River villages were classified and get together into the buildings, and for them a special train of eight coaches was chartered; ample food was provided for the journey, 500 loaves of bread being taksu on board at Minnedosa. together with several barrels of apples. The arrangements were so well made, and the disposition to compliance on the part of the women was an general, that no difficulty was encountered in the entraining, and on November 5 they were despatched to Swan River where they arrived the next morning. Thirty trams were provided to convey most of them to Vossinie, in the Tunder Hills, 25 miles away; bat bere a difficaity arose, owing to their refusal to ride in the wagons. Mr. Horley, how ever, the local immigration agent, who was in charge, insisted upon their starting at once, and ordered the wagous to follow the procession for the purpose of picking up the children and others as soon as they became exhausted. Meanwhile, about 450 men were still going east, On November G it was found that their dinner consisted of raw potatoes and frozen turnips in small quantities, which the leaders cut up and aistributed in pieces. On the 7th they left Newdates in a blinding snowstorm, and reached

Minnedom, the same evening. Mr. Frauk Pedley,superintendent of immigrational Ottawa, had now arrived on the scene, and seeing that the weather-prospects were fast b coming worse, determined to stop the pilgrimage. The men were housed in the skating rink, where Mr. Pedley addressed them. On the 9th the special train arrived, which was to convey them to Yorkton, and they were ordered to go and entrain. Most of them did so without resistance, and a small band of 50, who turned off on the road and locked urms, soon yielded to authority. Ou arrival the men of the Yorkton district were unloaded and housed in the toru, and vort morning the Swan River men were taken from the cars and ordered to start for home, wagons being provided if they chose to us them. Ai Terpennis they were met by Mr. Harley and Inspector Strickland and after four days hard meruhing from Yorkton they finally drew up before one of their own villages in the Thunder Hills. The women and children were removed from the villages where they had been kept, and every family was at last united in their respec tive homes The Yorkton men were despatched alone, as it was thought too cold to allow their wives, who had remained that point, to accompany them. One-half of the women were sent out in sleighs on the 11th, and the remainder on the following day.
