We have by no means heard the last
f Madagascar , says the London Times.
The French have sent out an army of
fflclals. Indeed , the fonctlonnalres for
utnumber the civil population , and
hey are making themselves beloved
t none. The law allows one month's
orced labor , but the officials are en-
nrnlnir na mn li na alv mnnthfl. KO the
aborers have taken to the bush and
irlvate employers cannot get hands to
work for them. The taxes are oppres-
Ive and In some cases downright
oollsh e. g. , an annual tax on every
head of cattle and every hectare of rice
cultivated. The result is that the cat
tle are being slaughtered , so that beef
s already scarce and dear ; while rice ,
which was formerly exported , has now
to be Imported. The natives are cut
ting down the India-rubber trees and
tha whole country Is unsettled. About
nine or ten otflclnla have been killed
and the northwest coast Is In more or
less open revolt. All the residents
agree that If Franco found herself at
war or In difficulties , there would be
a general massacre of French officials.
Trade Is languishing. The two chief
JLmerlcan firms have left or are leav
ing ? 1. e. , they are merely liquidating
old stock. The French have Imposed
a differential duty which gives French
manufacturers an advantage of about
92 per cent. French goods are charged
4 per cent , and English goods 50 per
cent , of their value. The coasting
schooners employed by the large firms
to supply their branch trading stations
had to come under the French flag by
Jan. 1 , 1899 , and the Germans are
sending theirs home rather than sub
mit to this law. Proctora the Eng
lish firm , Is doing good business , but
only by Importing French goods In-
etead of English. Altogether Mada
gascar furnishes an Instructive object-
lesson In the methods of French col
onization , and might repay furthei
study from those who contend that tin
Bag lias nothing to do with the trad *

The crew of a British steamer have
recently witnessed a remarkable sight
when steaming In the South Atlantic.
The rare phenomena the sun dog
which may not he see'n once In a
century , appeared In the sky one evenIng -
Ing at sunset. It was first seen by
the captain , who noticed the sun set
ting In the east Instead of the west ,
and was confirmed by the steersman ,
who reported another sun to port and
two more In different directions. This
marvelous sight of four suns In the
sky gave the sailors a tremendous
shock , as the sky was perfectly cloud
less and the vision unexpected ,
