AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

is greatly excited by the discovery by
the American Psychologist, Nilbour,
| Of the record of the existence, in an
ciont times, of canals around the Nile
| ca 5aracts. This discovery, of the au-
! tn anticity of which there is no
doabt suggests the possibility Of the
reopening of the Soudaa by the British
| by the restoration Of the canals, where
! by the possessions OF Germany in
| South Africa would become practically
/ va ,ueless as compared with their pres
! en-: promise of revenue. With an unin-
| te1ruptedly navigable Nile and an I'M
! dis puted protecJorate over Zanzibar,
gland would be enabled to control
| tho trade of the most fruitful portions
/ of Africa with marketing facilitie S
! which would throw the German com
! pallies hopelessly ont Of competition.
! STRINGENT ORDERS HAVE BEEN POSTED
in every police station by command of
| Oh eff Commissioner Sir Edward Brad
| forl forbidding members of the police
| fore to engage in any discussion what
/ soever of their grievances. This action
of he commissioner, however. has not
| prevented the police from formulating
petition to the Homo Secretary de-
nounclng the tyranny of Bradford and
| praying for relief, and it is understood
that it is being generally signed.
| The police assert that Bradford
| has sought to deprive them of the priv
/ 1eges which are accorded by the law
and custom of every British subject,
and declare emphatically that they will
not submit to the restrictions he has
,,19 I'D e., I, ~, L.,
earned the distinction of having made
| himself generally disliked in shorter
| space of time than any man who has
! held office under the government in
many years.
THE MASTER GOLFERS

DISASTROUS FOUNDATIONS.
The branches and tributaries of the
Oder river in PruSsian Silecia have over
flowed their banks in consequence OF the
recent heavy rains and flooded an cnor-
| nous section of country. The damage

rains have also caused a number of
landslides in various parts of the coun-
try. large portion of the works of the
Baltic canal have been destroyed in this
way, involving immense loss to the con-
tractors and delaying the work beyond
the possibility of its completion within
the stipulated time.
