Dini-Zulu the South African native
chief who has been a prisoner on tina
Island OF ST. Helena ever since the out
break In Zululand nearly twenty years
ago, In which the prince imperial son of
Napoleon Ill. lost his life. has been re-
turned To his native wllds and reinstated
by the British authorities In the rank of
hereditary prince. A few months ago a
RUSSIAN tourist. on visiting ST. Helena to
view the abode of the exiled Napoleon,
was surprised to learn that another roy II
exile was living on the Island. The tourist
visited Dini-Zulu at the Plantation housa.
and held an interesting conversation with
him. On parting the prince gave the visit
or his photograph with a mcssage TO the
car. saying that he wished when free to
form an alliance with Russia. And tell
him. exclaimed the black man. proudly,
that Dini-Zuiu. although row aT'priA~
oner is prince. rich and powerful.
Many colonists have moved into Dini-Zu-
lu's country during his absence. and steps
are being taken to develop the mineral
recources of the colony. The chief dr.
hculty at present In the way of making
fun use OF the large seams OF coal which
have been discovered In Zululand Is that.
which arises from lack OF means Of trans
port, but railways are soon to be carried
forward.

ders were made to the amount of over

sum iipton. for himself, the directors
and his friends, retained FL 80 ooo. The
fiotation is pronounced to be the most
sensational ever launched. There was an
extraordinary rush OF people who knew
nothing about the affairs of the company.
The tin had been generally circulated,
however, that Ii was a good gamble. and
the craze extended to the West end,
where ladies Of title. officers and public
men We're among the people who bes.egel
Sir Thomas. irnploring him to take their
money. Extraordinary scenes were wit
messed at the Bank of Scotland, where the
lists were opened. The police had to

stitute practically ali OF the assets for the
payment OF the debts. so that II the pre-
ferred claim of the company, amounting
TO about sI0G,e,l Co and Of 5. II Salmon,
the holder OF 40 shares Of preferred stock,
were allowed. there would be no money TO

II was the discovery that the claims or
NJ s. Peyton and ether Seattle 5onGhold-
ers Of the Seattle, Lake Shore * Eastern

bought up by the Northern Pacific Kali

claims would probably not be urged II fear
ed that the alleged preferred claims might
be allowed, TO the irreparabe loss or the
