THEY ARE HOT.
The Feeling In newfoundland in
That Fishing Episode.

HALIFAX, n. s., June9.-The St. Georges
Bay affair is tiercely attacked by the New
foundland papers as this excerpt shows:
Newfoundland has suffered an invasion by
an armed force belonging TO foreign power
and up TO the present no steps have been
taken by Brit in to avenge the outrage.
There can be no doubt that this was a de-
liberdtely planned attempt on the p .rt OF
France to force an admission from Great
Britain of a right OF sovereignty in the
French republic TO a cert in portion of the
waters and territory of Newfoundland.
While a British gunboat calmly looked on
whilst French man-of war forbade Brit
ish subjects to fish in their own waters, we
thought that there could be no circumstan-
ces capable OF adding furtl c. dlscredit
to the reputation of the British navy. But
we were mista zen, for this outrage upon
imperial and colonial rights was aggravat-
ed in the highest degree by the circumstan-
ces of insoience and violence which attend
ed its preparation. 1t is the fact that an
armed body of French marines went in
their boats to the place in the harbor of
Sandy Point where the nets Of the New
foundland fishermen were set and there
and then under the very guns of the Peli-
can ordered them to be tLken out OF the
water.

ROTTEN ROYALTY.
THE SERvIAN PRIME MINISTER
SEEKS A DIVORCE,
And His Suit Helps Out That Of Queen
Natalie.
A Rather Nasty Affair In All
Respects.

LONDON, June 9-The application filed
by M. Christich, formerly prime minister
OF Servia and later Servian minister TO
Berlin, for a divorce from his wife, Arl u
misia, has caused considerable surprise,
not. however, because of any belief that
his petition is groundless, but rather that
he should at this late day take action that
any self-respecting man in his well-known
position would have resorted TO years ago.
It's q matter of notorety that the pOiiti-
cal advancement OF NJ Christich and his
retention OF the several big positions 10
which he was raised, were based solely
upon his acquiescence in the scand .lous re-
lations existing between his wife and his
sovereign, King Milan, and it is also equal
ly well known that his social, and finally
his Official, ostracism in Berlin was due TO
his peculiar notion of his rights as "a hus-
band.
Furthermore, no part of Europe is in ig-
norance of the fact that Nine. Christich
finally left the husband she had never
been true to, and whose willingness to con.
tinue the beneficiary of her in6delity
most probably Disguised her, to live
openly with Milan, who was compelled to
abdicate his throne by the popular and Off
cial clanor against his profigacy and i'm
morality.
1t was King Milan's relations with Nine.
Christich, too, that formed the basis of the
fabric for Queen Natalie's suit for divorce
against Milan. Yet, with all these proofs
forthcoming, NJ. Christich, as though still
in fear OF his former master, merely alleges
an ungovernable temper on the part of his
wife and her final desertion of his home as
the grounds upon which he petitions for
separation.
Ex-Queen Natalie is too keenly incensed
TO allow an opportunity for revenge TO go
by, and it is expected that she will contrib
ute very largely to the sensational charac-
ter of the revelations of the proceedings
in NJ. ChTistich's action.

Too Many Banks in New York.

There are more than enough banks
in New York City for all business pur-
poses said an Official connected with
the Bank Examiners department yes
terday, apropos OF the latest disclosures
concerning the "kite-hying" accommo-
dations one bank extends to another
a system which permitted the wreckers
who despoiled the Lenox, Sixth Ma
tional and Equitable banks to work
heir game spectedly. If anum-
Der of the banks were consolidated and
the salaries now paid to large force OF
incompetent officials were devoted to
securing the services of men OF integ-
rity and frst-class ability, depos tors
would be better served and the banks
would be on safer ground"
This idea seems TO be gaining ground
among the more conservative bankers
in New York. and il is not impro ba Bile
that the present thorough overhauling
that is taking place in good many OF
the banks may result in a number OF
consultations that would benefit all
concerned, except the surplusage OF
salaried officials who would lose their
places. DAVID WECHsLER.
