from the majority of the Liberal electors
that his candidacy would receive their sup
port.
Now II is learned that Sir Charles Dixie
has supplied the Liberal organization with a
statement for private circulation vindicating
himself against the charges made against
him in connection with the famous Craw-
ford-Dilke divorce case. According to his
statement, Captain Forster ought to have
been the correspondent and not Sir Charles.
Referring to the notorious Fanny" the
pamphlet says she is now happily married
and known as Mrs. Stock. The pamphlet
says that Mrs. Crawford during the divor ce
proceedings made the assertion that
Fanny had been Sir Charles Dilke's mis-
tress.
Fanny" has made a statutory declara-
tion, giving full account of herself and
sworn denial of Mrs. Crawford's story. The
general opinion seems to be that the
pamphlet will reopen the agitation of years
gone by, and win probably win over to Sir
Charles side a number who previously con-
demned him, but that it will fail to conf
pletely vindicate him.
1t is probable, however. that Sir Charles
will abandon his idea of entering Parlia-
ment, Gladstone having objected to his pro-
posed candidacy. Nj. Stead has published
protest against Dilke's return.

charge. Under the new law the policy of
the department will be to charge cents per
500 in value for all gold bars required for
shipment, and if this fails to deter gold
shipments. the question will then be con-
sidered as to the advisability of refusing
altogether TO exchange gold bars for ship

gold coin or to obtain gold bars from private
parties. A ruling to this effect was first
made yesterday on telegraphic order for

This, however, is considered to be only

prove that wine-growers are now able TO

for the advance in price is that the growers,
