LONDON, oct 26-"Prince RanJit, OF
Baluchistan" who, TO an unusual extent,
has succeeded in exciting and battling Lon
dons curiosity, and who is variously de-
scribed as an Indian potentate and prince
of Siam, sailed oct. "a from Liverpool for
Montreal, on board the steamer Lake Sim
coe. whence he is going to New York,
accompanied by a dusky suite, numbering
twenty-eight persons. He lived a fortnight
in all the splendor of Oriental opulence,
at a fashionable London hotel, where he
had dropped in, unannounced. and uncon-
cernedly engaged twenty-three rooms. In
spite of the publicity which such an ar
rival was bound to create, he has left
England as much in the dark as to his
identity as when he arrived. The India
office has issued an official announcement
that there is no such India chief Prince
Ranjit of Baluchistan," but that neither
condemns the mysterious stranger nor
clears up his identity, as Ranjit is probably
an assumed name. When interviewed In
London, where he by no means courted
publicity, Prince Ranjit declined TO say
from whence he came, but he once oracul-
arly remarked: Il am a King. Whether
he is or not a King he certainly lived like
one, spending enormous sums or money.

instruments still more weird sounds. X

his time in bed. He is a man of fine
physique, dark skinned and handsome All

THE "BLOOMING BUTTON"
He Who Touches Ii at Right Moment
May Win Future Battles.

LONDON. Oct. 21.-The British Admiralty
is taking the most lively interest in the
working Of the personnel bill in the Ameri-
can navy, with the view of the possible
amalgamation of the line and engineer off,
GERS of the British service. Arnold Forster
secretary TO the Admiralty, recently re-
quested special reports this matter, and
Vice Admiral Fitzgerald to-day writes to
tho London Times on the same topic The
admirals letter is a spirited defense of the
navy against many recent criticisms, bu.
he admits that the line officers must wake
up and become expert mechanics as well as
good seamen in order to master the COM
plicated machinery of the fighting ships or
else the engineers will GUST them from their
present predominant position. II am not
prepared he said, Ito advocate the ANAL
gsmation of the engineers and the execu-
tives in imitation of the Americans. We
are certainly not ripe for it yet. Moreover,
1t is just as well to wait and see how il
turns out for them But if an amalgama-
ton is to be eventually avoided it can only
be by our executives becoming practical
mechanics. All real work is now done by
steam, electricity and hydraulics Touch
the blooming button as Jack says and
let her go up. | doubt not that ne who Is
the most expert in touching the blooming
button at the right moment will be the
victor in future naval battles, just as the
best sailors won of yOre.'

French Cruiser Launched.

BREST, France, Oct. 2s.-Presiding at the
launching to-day Of the armored cruiser
Leon Gambetti, the minister of marine said
she was one of a new contingent Of upward
of 100 warships, each of which possessed
perfect fighting qualities. Unless unfore-
seen difficulties occurred abroad the navy
programme would be completed in the time
fixed by the Chamber, and then France
would enjoy at sea the same security that
her numerous solid battaliOns assured her
on the continent of Europe. While the
French vessels were more costly. they were
also worth more than the shops of other
maritime nations. The French navy was
directing its efforts TO the fighting quality
of its ships. rather than TO numbers Only
strong nations could hope to honorably pre-
serve peace and liberty.

Travel i'm the Streets Was Dangerous
and There Were Many Accidents.

LONDON, Oct. 26.-West and central Lon
don were enveloped tonight in a black fog,
which plunged the entire fashionable part
of the city into inpenetrable darkness. The
fog found its way into the theaters and
music halls until, in many cases, the stage
was scarcely visible. Cabs took refuge un-
der the lights OF public houses refusing To
move, and scores of 'busses were abandoned
around important landmarks, their drivers
not daring to proceed
The scenes about the emptying theaters
were chaotic, the cries of the confused and
helpless people only adding to the confu-
sion. Link boys ran about trying to lead
fashionable equipages out of danger, giving
