Official statistics published by the Russian governm rnt show the remark able progress made by the Czar’s do minions during recent years. During 1S99 the capital of new companies or ganized amounted to 358.351,812 rubles, or $187,000,000, against 256,237,000 ru bles In 1898 129,363,000 In 1895, and 63.415.000 in 1890. During the last hundred years companies with a capi tal of 2,383,000,000 rubles have been organized, of which companies repre senting 1,200,000,000 rubles, or more than half were formed in the last five years. Recent industrial incorpora tions In the United States have shown that capital stock is not a true test of growth, but It so happens that the Russian companies earned good-sized dividends on their capital, which can not contain much water. Thus, in 1899 the average dividend paid was 11.53 per ceut, or 618,000,000 rubles, on 1.023.060.000 rubles of capital. Viet j\ Jmirul Seymour. Vice Admiral Sir Edward Hobart Seymour, K. C. H..

News comes from Fort William, On tario, that some Indians who were hunting on the east coast of Hudson Hay last spring found a large quan tity of wreckage, the bodies of two men and a dying man, whose language they could not understand. From their description of the wreckage there can be no doubt it was the remnants of a balloon. The Hudson Hay officials are convinced that the victims are An dree’s party and have sent out men, guided by the same Indians, to find and bring back such evidence as will Identify them, a task which will be easy, as the Indians assert that there were books and papers strewn about, which, singularly enough, they did not bring back with them. There is some prospect now that the fate of Andree and his companions may be definitely known, and that the papers, if they still remain, may give important de tails of this tragedy in "the far, far North."
