What needs to be done in the direction

The Canadians in London interested
in the Pacific mail subsidy scheme re-
garded as Insignificant the news that
the German bundesrath has approved
the bill to substitute the North German
Lloyd company by an additional 1,5OO,-
600 marks annually for fifteen years,
thus providing for a fortnightly mail
service to China instead of the present
monthly service. 1t is stipulated that
the speed shall not be below fourteen
knots, and the preamble Of the bill
points out that the last eight years of
subsidized mail service to East Asia
have greatly aided German commerce
and industry. The tonnage of goods
has doubled and the value Of the goods
carried has trebled since 1888 The Ca
nadians think these facts ought to
weigh in the deliberations in regard
to the proposed Canadian subsidy.
Diplomatic circles in Vienna have
been excited and French political cir
cles have been incensed by the re-
ported reply, of the Archduchess Marie
Dorothea, of Austria, who was married
on Thursday to the Duke of Orleans
pretender to the French throne, made
to twenty-five ladies of the French leg
1t1m1sts aristocracy, who attended the
wedding and presented the bride with
magnificent crown of diamonds. In
returning thanks for this gift, the arch
duchess said in French:
Il hope this crown will one day be
placed upon the head Of my dear
Philip If that day ever arrives, I
shall know how to second my husband
and do my whole duty"
Emperor Francis Joseph has dis
avowed the speech in the princess be-
half, but this does not prove that the
story is not true, and is looked upon as
only intended to be an apology to the
French government by seeming to re-
Duke the duchess, who, it is added.

1t is stated In this connection that the
Duke Of Orleans will shortly issue a
proclamation to his followers, an
nouncing his alliance with a member of
the house Of Hapsburg.

number Of youths brought to the Pont
Neuf, a bust Of the republic, with it's
face painted black, a phrygian cap on
it's head, smothered in red paint and
with pipe stuck in it's mouth. This
bust was hung by the neck around the
railing Of Henry Tvs statue and was
inscribed -1896-Good King Henry
has revenge Fire crackers were ex-
ploded around the spot, colored fires
were burned and the youths started a
royalist song, whereupon the police in
terfered and dispersed them.
The Daily Mail continues its interest
ing letters from a correspondent who is
visiting various American states. 1t
devotes today's letter to California, in
connection with which the correspon-
dent says: when the long promised, |
long delayed high prices come in sight, |
there will be new fortunes to make In
California and new palaces to be built |
on Mob Hill. The people of the Pa |
cif1c slope are living In country that !

selves and their environment to what |
it seems good to them to do. That |

than wearing black shirts. With |
others it takes stronger flights and |
scars to clearing out banks and hold

The new archbishop Of Canterbury, !
Dr. Temple, is already in very bad odor |
with the Liberals. Speaking at a |

and urged increased concessions to the |
voluntary schools, in order to enable |
them to compete with the board |

of Exeter he received 5000 pounds; as |
bishop Of London he received 10000 |
