Canada PreDariu0 for War

Ottawa Special to the Philadelphia Times
Members of the order of the Sons of England
in Canada are petitioning the imperial ad-
miralty authorities in England for the es,ab-
lishment in the dominion of two branches of
the royal naval reserve, one at some point on
the Atlantic seaboard and the other on the
lakes. The latter branch, it is claimed, would
be readily joined by the lake seamen, who
would man lake tiotilla more satisfactorily
than ocean seaman, unacquainted with the pc
culiarities OF lake craft and inland navigation.
Sault Ste. Marie is suggested the right spot
at which to locate the reserve to be stationed
on the lakes. A portion of the province of
Nova Scotia is being surveyed by royal engi-
neers for the imperial government for the
erection of defenses should an emergency re-

Gen. Greeley in a letter to the Commits
sloners calls attention to the fact that it fire.
quently happens that his Office has oil hand a
quantity OF old condemned stores, which it is
desirable to dispose of at auction; the law,
however, states that the expense of the auction
cannot be betrayed from the proceeds of the
sale, but must be borne from the regular APP
preparation. These expenses, the general says,
are usually large, and are excessive drain
upon the appropriation. As a way out of the
difficulty he asks if clerk in the Office can be
detailed to carry on such auction without a
license. As the law is explicit a regular auc-
tioneer's license will have to be taken out.

Gently in Alexandria, where his daughters

exalted ruler, will take appropriate action in
regard to his death. Gen. Carnahan, the

nouncing the death of Col. Rathbone and di-
recting that the officers and sir knights of the

partment Some years ago he called a number

HUGHES HALLET'S TROUBLE.
He Is Going to Get a Divorce From His
Wife

London society is gossiping over the current
rumor that Col. Hughes Hallet will soon enter
proceedings to obtain a divorce from his wife,
who was well known in Philadelphia as the
beautiful Emily Schaumbuerg until the Eng
lish political and army man became her hus-
band Thecolonel came to America in October
OF last year to inspect and report upon some
silver mines in Mexico, owned by London
company Of which he was a member. Just be-
fore leaving England he learned that he had
become responsible for the payment of a note
of e., 200, which he had Endorsed for man
with whom he had held friendly relations, but
who failed to make good the note when it came
due. He left in London, in charge of his BUSH
ness affairs the man Chandor, whom he had
met at London club a year previously 1t
was the understanding that Chandor and Mrs.
Hughes Halett were to use their best efforts to
raise the funds to meet the obligations. and. as
Mrs. Hallett is rich, she could easily have done
30. After several hopeful letters one came say
ing he had better stay in Mexico to avoid bank
ruptcy proceedings. Hallett returned to Eng
land in spite of the warning, but on his arrival
he was seized with a severe attack of rheu-
matte govt and sailed for the Azores in March.
While in London his wife did not call to see
him, but as their relations had always been
somewhat strained he did not feel much sur
prised.
About month after his arrival, however,
Mrs. Bloomfield Moore wrote. telling him that
she had loaned $4,000 to Chandor to hquidate
his indebtedness, and on investigation he was
astounded to discover that the loan had been
made long before the time when both his wife
and his secretary had written declaring that
they had been unable to raise any money. His
suspicious concerning Chandor were now
aroused and they were strengthened early in
June by the receipt of an anonymous letter in
forming him that the conduct of his wife in
connection with Chandor was scandaous; that
the private secretary had practically usurped
his place at his London house and entertained
lavishiy-had a room in the house and seemed
to have strange power over Mrs. Hughes
Hallett. The colonel of course returned to
London at once and found Immediately upon
his arrival that the circumstances detailed in
the anonymous letter we're matters of common
gossip.

He Was Drunk When He Did It.

James I. Robertson, young man, was put
on trial in the Criminal Court yesterday OIL a
charge of assault and battery with intent to
kill Archibald Brown on the oath OF August last
by striking him over the head with an iron
rule at the Office OF Mr.. Brown, 800 9th street.
The parties are photographers and plate printers
and It ID alleged that Robertson, after asking
for a quarter and being refused, attacked MIR.
Brown, knocking him down. The defense by
counsel, c. II. Smith, was that the defendant
wRs so intoxicated at the time that he was not
responsible and was incapable OF forming an
intent tC kill
The chief justice after the conclusion of the
arguments charged the jury that, while
drunkenness was not an excuse for crime, yet.
III case OF this kind, where the intent was an
element in the charge, they should consider
the evidence as to the defendants condition
and determine if from drunkenness he was in
capable OF forming the intent to take life.
There was no question as to the assault, which
had been admitted, and the sole question was
as to the prisoners responsibility.
The jury found a verdict of guilty of assault
and defendant was sentenced to eight months
in Jail.
