Minister Balfour announced to night that at the request of the russian govern ment the British government had or dered two cruisers from the Squadron at the Capo of Good Hope to immediately locate the russian Volunteer Fleet steamers Smolensk and St. Peters Burg and to convey to them the or Ders of the russian government that they must not further interfere with Neutral shipping. This statement was made to a deputation of the London chamber of Commerce appointed by the East in Dia Section of the chamber. Or. Bal four during the Day had been busily engaged in connection with the ques Tion in regard to British shipping. The Premier held an important meet ing at the foreign of lace. To which representatives of the intelligence department of the War of lace the admiralty the foreign office and the Board of Trade were summoned. The Premier afterwards received the deputation from the chamber who presented a Resolution from that body calling on the British government to take decisive action in the Mattei. Or. Balfour said that he desired to hear evidence of preferential treat ment by Russia and to learn of any Concrete examples of such treatment which he said would be carefully considered. In reply the members of the deputation quoted in detail the cases of the Arabia. Cal has. Malacca. Scan Din and Knight commander. The Premier. In his reply said the question must be considered practically and in the Light of different conditions. Special had Arisen Between great Britain and Russia owing to the captures by the Volun Teer sleet steamers which had passed the Dardanelles in the character of vessels other than War vessels. This led to an acute controversy although the russian government gave Assur ances that the vessels of this Fleet would not make further captures. When the Smolensk stopped the l of Pul Ful impression was United states asking for n conference upon the questions at Issue Between the fishermen of the United states and Canada. Or.

He had been informed last night by ambassador Benckendorff thut the russian government was not certain that the Smolensk Hud received or Ders in accordance with the recent agreement concerning the treatment of Neutral ships. In accordance with the suggestion of the British government the russian government had authorized great Britain to assist in locating and notifying the cruisers. In consequence the British government had ordered two cruisers from the Cape of Good Hope to proceed immediately and search for and locate the Smolensk and her Consort and. Convey to them the instructions from the russian government to de Sist from further interference with Neutral Commerce. Or. Balfour said he hoped therefore that it might Mically consider the episodes connected with the Volunteer Fleet As now entirely ended. This however obviously was Only part of n Large problem which the position of belligerency raised. The problem was one of considerable complexity owing to the fact that no circumstances precisely similar had occurred for a number of years. It was not clearly proved that the russians differentiated Between Brit ish and other foreign ships to the Dis advantage of great Britain but if this was shown to be the Case it would be a most serious situation. The Deputa Tion might rely that the declaration on the subject in the King s speech was 110 Mere vague language but that he British government meant exactly that it mid. That the rights of the great shipping Trade of great Britain would not be ignored by the British government or any government to Vilich British interests were confided. Regarding contraband of War or. Bul four said it was difficult to define clearly what was contraband of War but the principle which his majesty h government had Laid Down was that War time stores carried to a Bill Gerant Coal shipped for the purpose of Aid ing in warlike operations and food stuffs intended for an army in the Field or for purposes of aiding troops were All contraband of War but his majesty s government had not accepted the doctrine Laid Down with some russian notifications to the effect that Coal foodstuffs Cotton and Many other things were absolutely Contra band and that the fact that they were found on Board ship justified the seizure of the goods and in certain cases the confiscation of the vessels. The Case had been put most clearly by lord Landsdowne to the russian government and from the position taken there was no possibility of his majesty s government receding. In conclusion or. Balfour said that the shipping Industry might rely on the government doing anything right and just to protect the shipping interests which were not merely the interests o the shipping industries but the interests of the whole great mercantile Community.

Customs do oneals in the House of commons. Apartment to Day promulgated Regula Lions giving effect to the anti dump ing clause of the Tariff. As already announced where goods of a a Salsa manufactured or produced in Canada Are slaughtered in the Dominion there will be levied in addition to the Ordinary customs duty a special duty equal to the difference Between the Selling Price in Canada and the value for Home consumption in the county of Export. Such special duty is not however to exceed one half the Ordinary customs duty. In respect of Iron and steel a Taclob upon which bounties Are paid the special duty is varied. In such cases the special duty is to be the amount of difference Between the Selling Price in Canada and the fair Market value for Home consumption in the country of Export up to a maximum of 15 per cent of such Market value. The special duty clause does not apply to articles of a class subject to excise duty in Canada. Invoices in duplicate must be delivered to the custom House with the Bills of entry for All goods. A new and morn comprehensive form of certificate has been designed which requires a declaration from the exporter that the invoice contains a True statement of the Price of the goods the actual Quantity and All charges thereon lie is also required to state that the in voice is the fair Market value with out any discount or deduction for Cash or on account of any drawbacks representative of the free press called yesterday afternoon upon the local managers of the five or six Best known firms dealing in agricultural implements and threshers throughout Manitoba and the Northwest in order to get their opinion Ullh regard to the crop Outlook. firms chive regular bulletins from Ali eur agents and travelling representatives throughout the province and Are through these Hept very closely and correctly in touch Ullh the crop conditions. Machine agents do not need to rely on hearsay or to snatch a Chance Sample while their train Stop at a country station. They drive through Fields of Grain Day after and sell binders and threshers to the Farmers who expect o reap a Harvest from these Fields. Some of Tho Coin panics receive these reports daily from Ali eur agents and it need not be that no part of Tho Western is so Remote or so insignificant is to be without an agent of a Harvester company. The implement men interviewed yesterday afternoon do not attempt the role of prophecy or aay just what the crop returns would be Lii Ong Niit the province Bui. They had no hesitation in giving the facts As to the pres ent crop conditions obtained by them from carefully prepared reports. Without exception those interviewed were of the opinion that the reports of damage by rust have been exaggerated. The Public Linn been in danger of becoming somewhat hysterical Over the rust question. That there is Good Deal of it in some True they said but the whole damage to the Western crop was much loss than been reported. It is a noteworthy fact that every manager interviewed reported his Busi Ness of Selling binders und twine or separators and engines to be very Good quite As Pood As was anticipated earlier i the season and apparently not at All affected by the rust Visita Tion. We have a Good crop. The manager of one Large company when asked for his damage done by rust said with emphasis on each word. We have a Good crop of wheat in Manitoba thin Good crop. 1 have been estimating crops in the Chi for a Good Many yearn and i have not yet seen a crop that some one did t try to kill by unfavourable reports. We be had the bulls in Tho Saddle for the past or two and they be been try lip to make us believe All sorts of things. But the crop gives every indication of being on the whole a Good Early in the he continued. I made an estimate of Twenty bushels an acre. Taking everything into consideration i have lowered this to fifteen. That i think. In a conservative estimate. Hut fifteen bushels per acre in t n provincial calamity. Indeed with the High prices Likely to prevail this year. It will insure As Pron Perosh and wealthy a year an Loo j. Of to continued this Esti mate is based largely on the condition of the Early wheat. Rust May affect the late wheat More and Frost in it very real possibility an indeed this gentleman wan of opinion that Frost was much More to be dreaded now than rust. Damage grossly exaggerated. Another implement Man quoted a very reliable agent of his firm who is driving through the Grain practically every Day As saying that the reports of damage by rust it Brandon had been grossly Eagger the Linn had most favor Able reports from Dundrea and an Esti mate of an Little As two per cent dam age at in Elton. If the Grain men who arc bulling the Market to such an extent just now will just keep on prices until the Farmers 1mvj their when i Nold there in Little Chance of much grumbling about hard in any part of the province during the Corning fall and he remarked with some Energy. A Flea in their ear. Rust another prominent implement Iii ii exclaimed Alten his opinion was asked runt Why it would scorn an if rust had been invented this year so much is heard about it. As n matter of fact Tifre is More or ic5s rust every year on the wheat and in the great majority of cares no damage is done by it. The Grain men have put ii Liea in the Farmer s this full about rust lie at once goes through his Fields and in finding a rusted stalk Here and there thinks himself ruined. Of this Grain Man conceded there Are districts where the rust is Grent enough to do considerable Darnulc. But the great bulk of the Bent wheat be Colonn will bal comparatively free from ions. It May be pointed thin gentle Man continued that the howl about rust which hns been largely rained by the Grain men will furl no an excellent excuse for grading Good wheat Down this fall to no. 1 Northern. Whether there has been any method in the madness of the Grain men or not of course cannot be by at least. But Thero Are n few who Becin to be making Revenue out of Tho rust stare or expect to do no later another Man of wide experience in the implement mid Grain Busl Nentl speaking of Tho nest reports remarked that the weather of the past few Days while not the Best ripening weather wan to far As rust wan concerned.
