Sensational News

The news which was sent out in this sem
sational form was such as would scarcely
have imposed upon a school boy who had
read a book of naval adventure Vessels
do not clear for action even when war is
proclaimed. That process is generally
commenced whan the enemy is sighted On
the horizon. Still, this little maneuyer sold
a number of papers.
The Speaker answers the question, 'tWhy
these preparations?" in a simple and plain
spoken way:
Simply because we have been forced TO
recognize the fact that France seems bent
upon provoking us and thwarting US so far
as she can do so without making war inevi-
table. The single incident of Fashoda does
not stand alone; ii is one single link in a
chain of studied unfriendliness on the part
of France toward this country, and II is
therefore well to be ready for whatever
may happen
sometimes think, with all their glaring
contrasts, London and Paris have much in
common. Both apparently represent the
feeling and thought of the countries of
which they are the respective capitals but
really just as Paris is not France AMI
though the focus of French thought vet
cannot faithfully represent the provinces,
SO London cannot speak for all Britain
Ihls was seen in France in the heydey of
Boulangerism. While Paris worshiped the
hero of the black horse, tho sturdy prov
inces rejected him and saved France from
the possibilities of dictatorship.
London and the Provinces.
1 have just been up in Scotland, and there
found people not greatly excited over the
prospect of war. In London at all the
clubs and places where men congregate
nothing has been talked of for the past
three weeks but the coming war with
France" The newspapers have worked
this feeling up, printed lists of the various
Warships of both countries and reported
with great detail every hostile preparation.
In the provinces and in Scotland, while
the papers have echoed the news printed in
London editorials have qualified it, and
the people do not appear to be at all ex-
cited or warlike. Buying and selling, trade
and barter, go on with little thought of
war, and as a north countryman said TO
me, We'll look for it when it comes "
They temper their excitements with phiI-
osophy in the north and, being at a dis.
tance from the fulcrun, can make better

Wrecking as n Fine Art.

Echoes of the Mohegan disaster are stnl

II would appear that wrecking as a Cornish

habitants of that rugged English county
1t seems that it is the practice there when
a body is recovered from the sea for the

teeth. Consequently, there is often the
greatest difficulty experienced in Identify
ing the bodies of the drowned as these
articles are taken away and often retained
by any one who chances on the body first
In some cases the features OF the bodies
cast up from the Mohegan were swollen or
battered out of recognition and the rim
kets which would lead to identity were
gone. Even in cases when they were re-
produced the finder was unable to say
from what body they had been removed.
Cornwall and The western counties of

Chicago, May 9.-The Liverpool wheat
market today excelled all previous eff
forts at startling advances by opening
Id higher for May and at I'd to Cd up for
July, compared with Saturdays closing.
That set the Chicago wheat pit into a
situation of nervous excitement at the
opening. All sorts of prices were paid
for July simultaneously in different parts
OF the pit. 1t was impossible for a few
minutes to get an idea of what price was
predomiRating, but after while the
opening range, as near as could be found
out, was given at from 1.0924 to LOG
Trading between those limits was enorm-

coup was by doubling and price was no
object. Up shot quotations again, touch
ing 1-16. ten minutes after the opening
Another reaction to 1.13l5 followed. but
offerings were greedily absorbed and the
market gradually settled down around
LIS Trading in May began at cents ad-
vance. Letter sold a little at LIS, causing
a reaction to Ito. which, however, was
quickly recovered. After brief rest at
lib, the buying furore was renewed. A
wild scramble of European nations for
American breadStuffS was conclusively
shown by the announcement of fresh bids

Up to the close he had not accepted the
offer, but reported other sales of $50 900
bushels to go abroad. Liverpool market
at the close showed gains of Cd for spot

werp accumulated the European short
age by advancing cents each. Near the
end of the session offerings became scarce
and July rushed up to III, easing off at
the close to l.2OA. September, which sold
early at SO, was rushed up to 50, and

No failures were reported on change,

that the reginental Integrity of the

there was a lame and unsatisfactory
response OF a total membership of
about 900, only $50 went to Hampstead
