tracted, and continues to attract, con-
siderable attention. IT Is stated that
brought to the letter and that their
lordships intend to lake immediate
measures to regulate the speed of
steamships in the Solefit and, accord
ing to a writer in the Scotsman, owing
to representations from that locality,
the admiralty, a couple Of years ago,
induced the German steamers to go
slow through Cowes Roads, owing to
the risk Incurred by bathers and small
craft.
1t Is now alleged that the American
liners go at full speed through Cowes
Roads and member OF the Cowes Ur-
ban council asserts that the wash Of
one Of the American steamers broke
across the Esplanade at Cowes, invad-
ing hotel facing the sea, and,h adds,
that frequent complaints have been
made on the subject to the local au-
thorittes, who claim that the requisite
safety could be insured without adding
more than quarter of an hour, to the
length Of the transatlantic voyage.
Inquiries made at the office here of
the American line and the German
lines show these statements to be ut
terly unfounded and evidently based
on opposition to the foreign steam
ships themselves and not to their
speed. AT all the offices it was dis
tinctly stated that the Atlantic steam
ers never go at full speed through
Cowes Roads
In spite of the official statements to
the effect that the visit of the secre-
tary Of the colonies, Joseph Chamber
lain, to the United States is purely
personal trip, it is learned that he will
make point of seeing Secretary
Olney. The British ambassador at
Washington, Sir Julian Pauncefoote. is
still in England and therefore there is
nothing to prevent Mr.. Chamberlain
from personally settling the Venezu-
elan question with Mr.. Olney

lister for foreign affairs, M Chickine,
who on the death Of Prince Lobanoff-
Rostovsky was made acting minister

manent successor Mr. Chickine Is an

Russian minister at Washington. In

proof that nothing but i'll luck will fol-

disaster at Moscow during the coro-
nation fetes, when several thousand
people were crushed to death during
q panic on the plain.
The news from Matabeleland is less
satisfactory now than was expected
last week. 1t appears that several

and several more conflicts have oc-
CURED in which the rebels suffered
very little loss. On the other hand,
500 Matabeles recently surprised a
loyal grain patrol, consisting of five
whites and seventy friendly natives
All the whites succeeded in escaping;
but the friendlies and a number Of
women and children were captured.
To make matters worse, a rebel impi,
consisting of 1000 men, has assembled
ten miles northwest of BuluWayo. But
it is not considered likely that they
will venture to- attack the town.
Advices received here from Spain
indicate that there Is considera BILE
anxiety there at the attitude which the
Carlists have assumed. Their deputies
have withdrawn from the chamber,
ostensibly as a protest against the
adoption of the subsidies to the Span

something much more serious is loom
