(Erom the London News. }

Sir George Newnss Is naturally much
gratiflsd at the general tenor OF the mes
sage that has reached him this week
from the great lowland at the other end
OF the world, put at present he is rather
dislnolined to discuss it; indssd, there is
not much that can be discU SIS ID. The
message comes from the s1uth of New
u saland, and the Southern Gross is now
on her way to hobart Town, from which
he expects to have further particulars,
but it is probable that o couple of months
must siars, bsiore he will be in pos@s-
sion OF full informal Of what has bssn
accomplished. At present he can, Of
course, do no mora than any OF the rest
Of US with the message that has been
made public, and It would be only very
natural that Gapt. Borchgrevink should
wish to reserve full account of what
ever success he mas achieved until he can
render it In person.
what intsrprs alton do you put on the
words of the message intimatlng that the
south magnetic pole has been located
Has he, do you think, actually reached
that present position, or has he mersly
located 1t from q distsnosP'
"a Reuters message. think, says that
he has determined the locality" " replied
Sir George Newnss, dubiously.
"If he had actually got as far, he would
probably say that he had reached the
magnetic pole. Don't you think soa'
"Well, he has been tifteen-no, tourtsen
months actually on the mainland there.
and he says that the object Of the expsdi-
tion has bsen carried out. and II shat Ia
30 it will be 9 very valuable scientific
achievement; but ws shall be sure to
have further particulars before long, and
shall be happy at any time to tell YOU
all know"
"You are not disposed to ssy anything
az to the cost Of this expedition. Sir
Georgs Nownssf"

We think the Trustees of the
Queens Hospital are perfectly justi-
fed in refusing admission to people
suffering from venerial diseases ex-
cept the patients are amply pro-
vided with funds to pay the ex-

diseases OF the class referred to is
apt to be burden on the Hospital
for weeks or months, and we hold
that if he could afford to contract
the disease he can afford to pay for
the cure.

We wonder whether our entomo-

crease in flies since the plague start

ones which in Europe indicate filth
diseases. In several countries the

phenomena on the approach of pes
tilential diseases. House flies being
flying scavengers necessarily imply
unwholesome conditions but the
little black fly implies actual disease.

 From the New York Mail and Ex- press: Colonel Bingham, superintend' ent of public buildings and grounds. who has charge of the Washington monument, says one of the greatest trouDies the watchmen at the monu- ment have to contend with is the chip ping of these memorial stones by relic hunters. "One of the strangest things in regard to these relic hunters" said Colonel Bingham, "is the fact that more than one-half of the men arrested for chipping off relics are clergvmen. When the police arrest these oe5poil- CTS and start with them to the station house the man will begin to ask what Is the penalty and try to beg off. He is told that the fine is a heavy one, but that $15 security can De put Up for ap- pearance in the police court. Then the prisoner explains that he is minister of the gospel and meant no harm, and that he could not stand the disgrace of appearing in a police conrt.
