In the annual report, on the public accounts of LanuUa for 1./U2, tlio Lioputy Minister, IMr. J. M. Courtney, offers the following remarks: "I lind that this is the twenty-fifth annual report I have had the honor to present as .Deputy Minister of Finance. At the time of the publication of iny first icport, tlie facilities for keeping in touch with the different purts of the Dominion were very different from what they are to-day. At that time it was a matter of as much difficulty to go from the eastern part of the nonunion to tha western part as it is to-day to go Iiom Ottawa to .South Afiica. The province- have I.e.-:. iuoulded into one confederation, 'lhe Dominion of Canada has arrived at a stage of de- velopinent that even the most sanguine Canadian of thotc d.:.\\s hardly dreamed of, and there is every likelihood that the progress of the coining years Will l.e even gio.ter. "It has bc.n my pleasant duty and privilege to have taken part during thc- past quarter of a coi tury in .solving many public financial problems, and looking hack over the pcrjod 1 foci it can he said that, as a. whole, tlie department h.s not been unsuccessful in ns undertakings.

The toW amount of Dominion notes in circulation hs.s increased threefold, lhe deposits in the savings bi.nks, both Gove, nment and postoffice, have increased se. enfold. Owing to tho development of tho ban ing fa- lities throughout the country, in consequence of tho opening of the blanches of the various chartered banks, the numi er of deposit entries f.ir revenue received has very largely increased.

"With advancing age, that necessarily pre-ientf. me taking up new financial prol 1 *ms, my olTcial career must soon close.

An interesting- Recount of how the Americas Lup was won in 1851 is published by a Canadian contemporary: When the yacht America, it suys, arrived in l.ngland in 1850-51 hor owner, Stevens, published a challenge to sail anything for £1,000 i.r. £10,000, but he laid down so 'many stipulations that the challenge was not accepted. Then the Americans appeared to think they were being treated discourteously, and the Royal Yacht Squadron went out of its way to offer a cup, value £100, to be sailed for—open to all—without conditions or tune allowance; course, round the Isle of Wight. Now this is the cup that the Americans ani pleased to call the Queen's Cup for some reason only known to themselves. Possibly the hall mark on silver in Lngland being a crown, the Yankees assumed that this must be Her Majesty's private totem. In 1851 five Queen's cups were given, not one bearing the slightest resemblance to the Koyal Yacht Squadron Cup. Aug. 22 was tho eventful day. Fifteen yachts started, ranging from the barque Brilliant, 393 tons, to the cutter Aurora, 47 tons. Only live could be termed racers or ever won a prize. Iho five wero tho Freak, Volante, Arrow, Alarm and Aurora. The start was very peculiar The fleet went one way—the America another. "Round the Isle of Wight," in yacht racing parlance, means round the Nab—and then right away. Round the Nab went the Britishers, but the Yankee, to the amusement of thc spectators and the disgust of the officials, took no notice of the distant lightship, but headed straight for the corner of the island, scraped over Bcmbridge Ledge and then took a short line to Culver Cliff, thereby effecting a saving of from 11 to 13 miles. Off Bon- church the Britishers caught up and the Freak and Volante got to windward of the America. Then a scries of disasters occurred. The Arrow grounded off Ventnor, and the Alarm wont to her assistance; off St. Lawrence the Freak fouled the Volante. Thus four of the five British racers were out of it. Passing the Needles the America was a long way ahead, but coming up the Solent thc littlo Aurora gained rapidly and reached Cowes eight minutes behind the America. The Aurora sailed the course, tho America had not, and the Britishers claimed the cup, but as tho Squadron people had omitted to tell the Yankees that they must round the Nab, they saw no other way out of tho difficulty but. to hand the cup to tho first yacht in. Russia Not Conquered. In 1870 one clause of the Treaty of i'aiis was abrogated; in 1902 another. On both occasions Russia haa been accused of faithlessness. If she could be frank with her accusers she would say that an individual or a nation is not morally bound by any promise which may be extorted by armed forces.
