BRUSSELS, Aurc. 27.—ft is generally known at Ant-
werp that the number of Belgian sailors is not sufficient
for our merchant service, and that our shipowners are
almost always obliged to engage foreigners to complete
their crews.
In order to remedy this inconvenience and to procure
for the country a number of sailors equal to its wants, it
had been agreed between the departments of the Marine
and of Justice to take in the depots of mendicity all the
youths of good character and robust constitution, and
put them, with the consent of their parents, on board
Belgium ships as cabin boys for a term of eight years.
Of course, the Governmeut will choose only such lads as
have not been condemned for theft or other serious
offences.
The Russian Government, in order to obviate in future
accidents on the railroad, has constituted, at Berlin, a
school for the special purpose of giving instruction in the
art of conducting locomotives. The number of pupils is
fixed at 400. The annual payment to be made by each
pupil is very moderate, and the course of instruction is
completed in one year.
FRONTIERS OF SERBIA, AUG. s.—lntelligence has just
been received that Prince Masoevitz, formerly English
Consul at Novi-Lazar, has been assassinated by the
Turks about two miles from the Servian frontier, on the
road to Mokro Gora. His attendant, a Christian from
Herzegwina, escaped. The family of the murdered
Prince has lived for some years in Belgrade, in a very
retired manner, and is universally respected.
