The outlook continues very ugly. Fanaticism seems to be at it£ wildest height. It is reported to have been awakened by reac- tionaries, who have represented that the Yeung Turks are leagued withthe Christiana, and who have raised the ery that Islam is en- dangered. The local Moslems, as ignorant as they are bigoted, were readily moved and their fury is growing. Aleppo, Antioi'h, Hadin, Ekbaz and Deurtyul are among the towns and villages now threatened. There is an American mission at Aleppo and the missionaries art< stated to be in extreme danger, although thus far they have not been attacked. The French mission at Ekbaz is besieged. The Village of Deurtj-nl is compassed by fanatics. The Ar- menian inhabitants have sent A messenger to Aleppo to beg for help. He reports that the outskirta of the village were burning whea ho left. The whole population of the Village of Karikhan has been wiped out. It ia reported that four Germans are among the killed at Bakje. The position at Tarsua is better. The mission buildings, which are now protected, are ohel- tering 3,000 fugitives. The victims of Tarsua number about fifty, but many more haT« been killed in the surrounding country.

Fowler, secretary of t.ie North-West Grain Dealers' Association, is in receipt of many wires from Eastern cities on the subject. Ho said on Wed- nesday : "The natural increase in acreage this year wiil be about 800,000 acres at a rough estimate. This is the result of lands thrown open and homesteading. The acreage last year was about 6,700,000 acres in age crop of 17 or 18 bushels per acre, which is a smalt one, this will mean an increase in the estimates of last year of about !.'>, 000,000 bushels. Add this to the estimated 100,000,000 bushels of la'»t year, and it will be seen that this year's crop may be roughly estimated at aboi^t 115,000,000 bushels. Of course, this is taking every advantage and dis- advantage into lonsidcration." In older sections, Mr. Fowler thinks, the acreage may increase to â- ome coasiderabU extent. tent.

A despatch from Toronto says: With tho head hacked almost to J eces with a hatchet ,the body of Evan Simoflf, a Macedonian, was found lying in a pool of blood in a boarding house at 16 Eastern avenue on Thursday morning. Palla Stefoff, a fellow-countryman and a half cousin of the deceased, nns taken into ciistoiiy as a matcii.il witness. The hatchet with which the crime was committed was founil beside tho body. This is the second murder that ha.^ occurred in the ..itaccdonian colony in the city dur- ing the past two years. The hatchet, which had been used with deadly effect, was found on tho floor a few feet from the body of the victim. Robbery was apparently the motive, as the man's trousers wore loosened at the waist, where it \> as believed he carried a belt containing money. Moreover, blood stains in the right hand pocket in- dicated that the murderer had thru.st his hands into tlie poeliet. Tlial there had been no struggle was evidenced by the fact that tlie few pieces of old furniture in tho ruoiii in which the deed v as com- mitted had not been difiturbed. The murderer, wao liad apparent- l,\ been frightened before complet- ing his searth of the victim's cloth- ing, overlooked n l)ag containing $100 in gold of Macedonian de- nomination, which was found sewed to the linen of the victim's inside vest. The mnidoreU man wore two pairs of troupers and two vests.
