of 1 THE WESTERN DAILY PRESS, BRISTOL, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1908. LONDON LETTER. THE KING 'AND THE EX-PREMIER. MANCHESTER ELECTIONEERING. LONDONERS AND THE HOLIDAYS.
LONDON, Thursday Night. The kindly esteem in which the ex is held, not only by his colleagues, but also by his Sovereign, was very apparent this afternoon. The first thing which King Edward did after his arrival at Buckingham Palace was to send Sir Henry Ponsonby to No. 10, Downing Street, to inquire after the condition of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman. The first thing that the new Ministers did after having been confirmed in their high office by his Majesty in Council was to call almost in a body at No.
10, Downing Street, and leave their cards. During the last few days there has been no marked change in the condition of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, but he still suffers from extreme weakness. Both Mr Winston Churchill and Mr Runciman came to town to-day for the Council at Buckingham Palace. Together with Mr Lloyd George, they drove to the Palace in a motor. Mr Churchill is confident that he will be able to hold North-West Manchester.
He has already succeeded in making Free Trade the issue of the battle, and, what is more, he thinks that he has divided his opponents into two camps. Certainly the attitude of Mr Hicks has alienated the enthusiasm of "the whole hoggers." It is the Socialist candidate who provides the unknown quantity. It is certain that he will draw a lot of votes from Mr Churchill, but he will also draw some from the Conservative candidate. Mr Dan Irving's presence in the lists relieves Mr Churchill from the charge of being a Socialist, and this is something in constituency steeped in vested interests. The death of Mr David Caine, the son of the late Mr W.
S. Caine, M.P., emphasises the well-known fact that the mountains of Britain, if they be not high, nevertheless can provide dangers to satisfy the most daring climber. The Cumberland peaks in the Wasdale district are not so hazardous as some of the chimneys of the Great Gable and the Little Gable, which have taken their toll from among the young and sturdy climbers of this country, and, what is more, have numbered among their victims some who had reason to be proud of their achievements on the Alps. The finer weather of the last few days, and the bright sun that shone this morning, swelled the greater exodus from London to-day. The rush, when it came, was great and sudden.
Up to yesterday afternoon the railway companies were complaining that traffic was not up to anticipation, but in the evening and to-day almost all London appeared to be searching for sunshine and pleasure, either along the southern coasts or on the Continent. Paris is now the favourite resort of the Londoner for Easter. Nearly all the Continental trains were run in duplicate, and even then they were crowded. Mr Robertson's peerage is even more Surprising than that of Mr Morley. It is stated this evening, in circles generally well informed.
that Mr Robertson will shortly succeed Sir Henry Fowler as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, but without a seat in the Cabinet. Like Mr Morley, Mr Robertson will have some difficulty in choosing his title. There is already a Lord Robertson, and if Mr Robertson wishes to call himself Lord Robertson of Dundee, that might be awkward for Lord Ritchie of Dundee. Like many other recently-created peers, Mr Robertson is a bachelor. Wild fowlers are by no means pleased with Lord Fitzhardinge's victory in the law courts the other day, when he succeeded in obtaining an injunction restraining persons from shooting wild fowl on certain tidal portions of the Severn.
There is an idea abroad that wild fowl on tidal rivers are everybody's game, but Lord Fitzhardinge has exploded this idea. His lordship is in possession of a peerage that is only some forty years old, but his family claims the Barony of Berkeley, which is one of the oldest in the land. In the 'sixties the grandfather of the present peer claimed the title in the House of Lords. He based his title upon the tenure of Berkeley Castle. The peers, however, would have none of it: they admitted that baronies by tenure at one time existed, but they held that this estate in the baronage had fallen into desuetude.
Indeed, there was a case two hundred years ago, when the same decision was arrived at. This was the Fitzwalter Peerage. Baronies by tenure must, therefore, now be regarded as extinct. This observation, however, must be qualified by the existence of the Earldom of Arundel. The Duke of Norfolk enjoys the Earldom of Arundel by virtue of his tenure of Arundel Castle, but this legal right is confirmed by a special Act of Parliament passed in the third year of the reign of Charles I.
The last garden in the City of London is about to disappear. I ought, perhaps, to say the private garden attached to a house within the precious square mile. The Temple Gardens and other public, or semi-public, gardens will remain to gladden the eye with their greenness amid the grime and dust of the City. The garden that I refer to is No. 4, Crosby Square.
This old house, once the mansion of a City magnate, is now to be pulled down and converted into spacious offices, and the site of the old garden is to be similarly sacrificed. The garden was within a stone's throw of Crosby Hall, alas! no more. There is a garden still attached to the Bank of England, but it can hardly be said to be private property. WRESTLING AT THE PALACE. At the three performances at the Palace Theatre, yesterday, Zbysco gave exhibitions of strength and dexterity.
His contests were in both the Graeco-Roman and catch-as-catch-can styles. In the afternoon, at the he met and defeated Jimmy Esson, of Aberdeen, in 12 minutes 50 seconds. The terms were, that if Esson could last 15 minutes he would receive £10, Alf Avent, ex-champion bantam-weight boxer of England, officiated as referee. In the first house last night, the Galician met Councillor Peter Wright, of Newport, in a catch. as-catch-can contest, which was of great interest.
It was some time before Zbysco found a weakness in his opponent's defence, but he finally brought him to the mat in 9 minutes 10 seconds. In the second house, which was a record, Zbysco again tackled Zippe, the American coloured champion. Those who witnessed the former bouts between Zipps and the Galician, when the former stayed the time limit of 10 and 15 minutes respectively, were of opinion that the coloured man is a good and clever wrestler. Last night, the contest wag to a finish. It furnished great excitement throughout, The terms were, that Zipps should receive £1 for every minute he could last over 15 minutes.
Zbysco throughout cut out all the work, while Zipps tried to gain all possible time by getting off the mat as much as possible. He was loudly I cheered for his defence, but finally Zbysco got' body hold and, down with his wonderful strength, pinned Zipps in 14 minutes 17 seconds. FIRE AT WELLINGTON. Yesterday the Red Ball Inn, Culmstock, near Wellington, was totally destroyed by fire. The inn had a thatched roof, and it was here that the fire was first discovered.
There being no water supply available, the Wellington fire brigade was not called out. Fanned by the strong wind, the flames soon obtained a strong hold of the inn, and only the walls were left standing. The occupants and neighbours were able to rescue the furniture, from the lower rooms, but the greater portion of the upstairs furniture perished in the flames, which were successfully prevented from spreading to the adjoining property. The licensee is Mr Balsom, and the property is insured. Dr.
Day, the Medical Officer for the. Dor- shester Rural District, has reported to the district council that the average age at death in the area of which he has charge is 58. The age is steadilv rising, and people now on the average live 14 years longer than they did in 1901, when the average ago at death was only 44. STEAMERS COLLIDE. 600 PASSENGERS IN PERIL.
THE VESSEL RUN ASHORE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) NEW YORK, Thursday. The steamship Monterey, outward bound for Havana, to-day came into collision with the United States, a Danish steamer, outward bound for Copenhagen. The United States is aground on the west edge of Marr's Channel, two miles south of the West Bank light. Three tugs are towing the Monterey hither.
She has a dent in her bow. The United States appears to be seriously damaged below the water-line, and was forced to run aground to avoid sinking. She carries 600 passengers, among whom is Captain Amundsen. THE BALKAN PERILS. PRINCE BUELOW'S VIEWS.
THE CONCERT OF EUROPE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) BERLIN, Thursday. In an interview with the 'Tageblatt's' correspondent in Rome, Prince Buelow gave an account of the impressions he had received in Rome of the situation in the Near East, declaring that in all quarters the gravity of the problem was not underrated, but that the belief prevails that the Concert of the Powers will be maintained when faced by weighty questions. Prince Buelow added: "Everywhere it is recognised what I hinted in my Reichstag speech, namely, that the Concert of the Powers is more important than this or that detail of internal reforms in Macedonia, and ways and means must be found to reconcile the British and Russian projects." The Chancellor denied that the phrase he had used in the Reichstag speech, dangerous projects," referred, as assumed by certain journals, to British proposals. He had no idea of entering into a polemic against Sir Edward Grey, but only wished to make the general observation that Germany cannot be expected to be enthusiastio over proposals which conceal dangers.
Reuter's Agency learns that the situation as regards the negotiations between the Powers concerning Macedonia remains unchanged. The British Government is still awaiting replies from the various Governments to the Note of Sir Edward Grey, of April 4th, discussing the proposals of the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, and stating the views his Majesty's Government on the subject of the financial control and powers of the Inspector-General. THE FRENCH PRESIDENT HIS VISIT TO ENGLAND. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) BOULOGNE, Thursday. President to-day received deputations of the citizens of Boulogne and Calais, who invited him to pass through their towns on his journey to and from England, The President, in reply, agreed to embark at Boulogne on May 21st, and to disembark at Calais on his return.
The President will cross the Channel in a cruiser, escorted by four battleships and a flotilla of torpedo boats. THE UNITED STATES AND MANCHURIA. A REVEALED PLAN, REUTER'S TELEGRAMS NEW YORK, Thursday. A telegram to the Associated Press from Pekin says a plan for the possible enlistment of foreign, and particularly American, capital in Manchuria has been disclosed by the premature publication of a rescript issued last March, by which the Throne grants to the Governor of Mukden Province authority to contract a loan of 20,000,000 taels (etcut for the purpose of financing the administration of Manchuria. It is understood an attempt is to be made to negotiate a loan on the guarantee of that portion of the Boxer indemnity which the United States has declared its intention to renounce It will also secure the power and influence of the United States for the conservation of Manchuria by China, The plan would appear to embrace the participation of the Powers which are China's partial creditors, such as Great Britain, France, Germany, and Japan.
THE TRIAL OF DINIZULU. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) PIETERMARITZBURG, Thursday. The Supreme Court to-day refused the application of Dinizulu for the removal of Mr Bennett, the magistrate who is conducting the preliminary examination, on the ground of alleged illegalities. The Court also declared it was not aware of any right on the part of the public or the press to be present. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.

A CONTRACTOR PUNISHED, GETTER'S TELEGRAM, PARIS, Thursday. Judgment was given at Bar Le Duo to-day in the case of 3 contractor who was prosecuted for supplying troops with diseased and putrid meat. The revelations which have attended preliminary inquiries into these charges have aroused widespread indignation, and a general demand for exemplary punishment.
The Metropolitan Cattle Market of La Villette appears to have been the centre of this traffic. The police found that the usual system of inspection was being evaded, and that a regular business was being done in old, lean, tuberculous cattle, many of which were in a dying condition, and were so near their end that on reaching their destination they had to be carted from the railway trucks to the slaughter-house. Police and veterinary evidence against the accused showed that the price he paid for the diseased and moribund animals that he cut up and supplied for soldiers' meat" was about half the wholesale price of sound beef, and that he could not fail to be aware of their tuberculous condition, These beasts were slaughtered immediately upon their arrival lest, as the judge elicited, they should meanwhile die. For the defence it was submitted the accused had simply acted in the same way as his predecessors and others, and that at the price paid, 44d per pound, the army had got its money's worth. The accused was sentenced to one year's imprisonment, and to pay 500 francs fine and 300 francs damages.
NYASSALAND GOVERNOR AND SETTLERS. AN EXCITING SCENE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) MOMBASA, March 28th. Discontent among the settlers with the Government's native labour rules led to extraordinary scenes at the Government House at Nairobi. On March 23rd, in response to an invitation from the Government, a meeting Wag held in the morning for an exchange of views between the settlers and officials.
The Governor, Mr James Hayes Sadler, was present, and presided. Speaker after speaker urged the settlers' objections to the Government proposals. They claimed that the native was pampered, and in no way induced to work, and demanded that the Native Affairs Department should be reorganised, that native taxation should be more equitably arranged, and the pass system adopted. The Governor, in reply, refused to withdraw the taxation of the native, as it existed in labour rules, and said that in his opinion Nyasaland, bordered on a system of forced labour, and he could therefore say nothing on that point. Owing to dissatisfaction in the Governor's answer, a further meeting was held, and those present resolved on going forthwith to Government House.
There was some delay on the people arriving there, and then his Excellency came out in the porch and informed the group that he would give a definite answer to questions put if the deputation would wait on him on the day following. Lord Delamere declared that the people were tired of waiting till to-morrow," and wished the labour rules withdrawn at once. The Governor closed the discussion by going indoors, followed by shouts of Resign, On the receipt of the news of the suspension of Lord Delamere and the Hon. A. Baillie from the Legislative Council, in consequence of their action at this meeting, the settlers cabled the Colonial Office regretting the Governor had represented the weeting as a disorderly demonstration, and that owing to his Excellency's.
unsympathetic attitude, exclamations were made to which exception had been taken. QUEBEC TERCENTENARY. REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) WASHINGTON, Thursday. The Navy Department intends to accept the invitation of Canada to send a warship to Quebec during the Tercentenary celebrations there, and the visit of the Prince of Wales. According to present arrangements, the battleship New Hampshire which was recently commissioned will be despatched.
CAPE TOWN, Thursday. Sir Henry de Villiers, Chief Justice of Cape Colony, will represent South Africa at the coming Quebec celebrations. RUSSIAN PRISONERS REVOLT 13 CONDEMNED TO DEATH. TELEGRAM) ST. PETERSBURG, Thursday.
A telegram from Tobolsk states that a courtmartial hag sentenced to death 13 persons who were convicted of mutinying in prison and killing a warder. EXPLORATION IN THE FRENCH CONGO. The Press Association is informed that Dr. W. G.
Ansorge, who has only recently returned from a twelve months' journey in the Gaboon, is leaving in the course of the present month on another scientific expedition, this time to German East Africa. He will proceed Tanga to the Usambara Mountains. He expects to be absent at least a year. The expedition which Dr. Ansorge has just concluded was through country but little known to white men, and in many cases dangerous, owing to the hostility of the natives.
Dr. Ansorge proceeded from Havre by steamer to Cape Lopez, and thence up the Ugowe River for 150. miles to Lambarene, his first objective. He was altogether nearly twelve months exploring in this region of the French Congo, the journey being of a scientific character, for the purpose of collecting zoological specimens. The Administration endeavoured to dissuade Dr.
Ansorge from going up the Abanga River, owing to the attitude of the tribes who have not yet been subjugated. On arrival at Lambarene, where a good many loads were left, the explorer went on a number of journeys in various directions in the interior. Most of these were done by river, and in the course of them he visited several lakes of enormous dimensions, which were practically unknown except to isolated traders. He disembarked at Lake Ezanga, and established himself in a native village belonging to the cannibal Fang race. Further up country these Fangs are said still to practise cannibalism, where French authority has not yet stamped it out.
From this point Dr. Ansorge visited another chain of large lakes, which were dotted with thousands of islands all covered with verdure, in most cases uninhabited. The lake shores, too, were very sparsely populated. On the upper reaches of the Abanga, beyond the navigable point, Dr. Ansorge had considerable difficulty with the Fang natives.
Owing to their thieving propensities, the majority of the factories which had been established had been abandoned. Dr. Ansorge had a narrow escape in one of these Abanga villages, where, in consequence of the theft of his gun, he came into conflict with the natives, who for a time were very threatening. Owing to a display of coolness, he eventually succeeded in reaching the river and getting away unhurt in his canoe. Dr.
Ansorge then extended his explorations to Fernan-Vaz, a district nearer the coast and the centre of the gorilla country. Here, near Lake Asebbe, he visited Mr Garner, the wellknown American, who for a considerable time past has been studying gorillas in this region. Mr Garner, who is alone except for two native servants, lives in a curious little hut, built of piles, at a promontory on the lake, which he has called "American Point." This place is three hours' distance by boat from the nearest French factory, CHINA THE OPIUM TRAFFIC. THE AGREEMENT WITH BRITAIN, (PRESS ASSOCIATION FOREIGN SPECIAL.) PEKIN, March 26th. The 'Cheng Chih Kuan or 'Official publishes the text of the memorial of the Wai-wu-pu, on which the opium edict telegraphed on the 22nd was based, The memorial says that the Wai-wu-pu has conferred with the British Minister on the subject, and that an agreement has been come to on the following six China will regard 51,000 chests of opium exported from India as a standard amount; that amount to be decreased yearly, from the year 1908, by 5.100 chests; after 10 years the importation to be stopped.
2. China to appoint a commissioner at Calcutta to oversee the amount sold. 3. China to levy more duties on foreign imported goods, while the dues from the native production are to be considered later on. 4.
No poppy juice to be imported into China from Hong Kong, or vice 5. No opium pipes to be allowed to be sold in foreign settlements and no opium dens to be permitted to be established, 6. No opium needle to be imported into China, The memorial says that communiques had also been addressed to the French and Netherlands Legations in Pekin, asking them to assist in prohibiting the drug and that the trial arrangement having been fixed by these Powers, Great Britain said that if she saw that the growth of the native poppy and the number of smokers had really become less the importation of opium would be decreased, The Waiwu-pu asks that strict laws may be enacted against smokers. The memorial further suggests that the provincial authorities be strictly ordered to prevent the smuggling of opium from Persia, Annam, and the South Pacific, and that the importation of morphia should also be prohibited. THE BOURNEMOUTH CLIFF IMPROVEMENTS.
The new electric lift erected by the Corporation on Bournemouth East Cliff was opened, yesterday, by Lady Meyrick, wife of Sir George Meyrick, in the presence of the Mayor and Corporation and a large assemblage of the general public. The lift, costing between £3,000 and £4,000, affords access to and from the eastern end of the new Undercliff Drive. After the ceremony, Sir, George and Lady and the other guests were entertained to lunch, at the East Cliff Hall, by Mr and Mns Merton Russell and afterwards inspected the pictures, curios, art treasures, which Mr and Mrs Cotes are presenting to the town. NIGHT AND MORNING, 0, ye have elain the blessed Christ of God, MORN. NIGHT.
Day with a tremor closed her weary eyeA rayless gloom enwrapped the ere around. Cold winds of night heaved back a tearful sigh, And passed to silence in the far profound. Night on the city! Night on Calvary's hill! In cloud begotten and by fear o'erhung; Men spake in whisper, and the heart grew still, And halting words fell slowly from the tongue. For, as some echo from dim space unknown, The Roman voice is pealing iron-shod, O'er bulwark gate, by hovel and by throne, Far, fan where hill and circled shadows meet, The crimson curtains of the dawn unfold, And sleeping flowers ope stow their eyelids sweet To see new-minted treasuries of gold. The tomb is empty, and the world's wide night Is merged in brightness that shall ne'er depart, Conquered by Him, Eternal Light of Light, Star of the morning, Sunshine of the heart! 0, teach us, Thou who art of wisdom all, The final, first, and ever-present Ray, To gather up the gems of joy that fall Beside the pathway of this Easter Day.

NEW YORK MARKETS. REUTER'8 TELEGRAM.) NEW YORK, Thursday. All the American markets will be closed on Good Friday and the New York Stock, Coffee, Cotton, and Provision Exchanges on Saturday. On the Stock Market to-day, prices moved up slowly, and traction stocks enjoyed another advance. The tone was dull, the holiday sentiment probably restraining dealings.
At midday there was a slight increase in the volume of business and better prices, and railroad figured to a larger extent than before. Values continued to advance sluggishly till the final hour, when light profit-taking caused a slight reaction, and the market closed rather irregulat and dull.
