THE PROHIBITION PLEBISCITE
Frox the prohibition »point of view, it ie certainly tc be regretted thatthe Gov. eroment baa given evidence of a desire that the plebiscite «hall cometo naught. The © denly-antagonistic or damnimg-with-faint praise attitude of the Government press ie @ straw that sows which way blows. Then we hawe the statement of ihe Minister of Agriculture —tkevery man ened introduced the bill to the House of Com. mons—that he hopes to see

Toreoto Globe: Canadians will be all more or less pleased 4o learn that the Dominion has the bulge on the rest of the eartli—speakipg scientifically, that is. This isthe way the Loodon Daily Graphic pats ite—“It is generally assumed that our earth is round—more or less. Bat Professor Preston, of the United States Coast aad Geodetic Survey, asks us to abandon this idea, acd think of the world as shaped like a four~sided humming top,
with eaok of its sides triangular. Its pointed end is directed due south, and it is on this, ne doubt, that
it goes spinning down the ringing grooves ofchance. This is somewhat startling, bnt certaialy not less so than Professor Pueston’s Other discovery regarding the earth. A cneasurement of great arcs upon the surfece.of our planet proves to his satisfaction that the North American continent bulges out from the more level parts of the world. One is glad to hear that it isnot only the United States that have this proad distinction of bulging. On the contrary, the bulge apparently includes British A merica—a fair proportion of our empire. The bulge, in fact, is

CUBA AND PORTO RICO.
Wasuineton, D.C., Aug. 17—The re-« eoustruction of affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico. aod throughout the Spanish West Indies, is receiving earnest consideration in official quarters, and at the White House. On Meeday, General Fitzhugh Lee spent some time with the President, going over the condition of Cuban aftairs. While no an- noungement was made, the impression pre vailed that General Lee would be one of the Caban military commissioners to be named within a few days.
Acting Secretary Allen, of the navy, also saw the President, concerning Cuban affaire. It ie probable that an American naval vessel will go to Hayana harbor before long, and at .east two naval vessels will be ordercd to Havana, when the mili- tary commission assembles there to deter~ mine upon the details of Spanish evacue~ tion.
