spoke. They said they were investi-

trade between Canada and Natal and
were seeking means to improve the
commercial relations between the two
countries. They claim that the Canad-
ians could supply as good products as
the Americans and that they were
more honest in their dealings.

Portsmouth, May 4.-The Shamrock

low water off the Warner lightship.
She was floated later and apparently
sustained only slight damage.
Southampton, May 4.-The new cup
challenger started on her first trip
spin this morning under excellent con-
ditions. A large number of yachts
and steamers crowded with passengers
accompanied the Erin and Shamrock

The crews Of the two Shamrocks

HER CHOICE.

An old tourist was taking live alli
gator from Florida. He had one
about three feet long in box. This
was much too large for the road, &C
cording to the ideas of the negro por
ter in the car, and he kept his eye on
it all the time. He begged the man
to put it in the baggage car, but he
would not. The lady passengers were
all in the lower berths, and the gator
was showed under one of them. It was
about midnight and all was serene,
when the porter looked in and saw
the alligator creeping along the floor
He raised yell: "Alligators out, alli
gators OUT" and broke into the smok
ing room and shut the door, Every:
body was awakened and much confn
sion reigned. When the conductor
appeared upon the scene the women
were screaming and scamperine
everywhere. One of them was climb
ing into an upper berth.
Hold on there, madam" he said
there's a man in that berth.
II don't care" she exclaimed, "I'd
rather be in a berth with two mel
than one alligator" Chattanooga

believed the fire is the largest in pro-

A conservative estimate places the

at 10000. Most of these spent the
