Surprised, but not shaken in cour-

There will be rejoicing in Wales, and

heraldic achievement of the prince of

presumably written in the days of Ed

A reproduction is also given of the
banner of King Henry VII, taken from
the Vincent MS, No. 152, in the Col

seen that that king quartered the red
dragon in banner with his other
badges. Henry also used the dragon
as a supporter, and it can be seen with

could have been sent out if occasion
required it. Mr.. Watts is, of course,
best known as a naval designer. He
was trained in the service, passing
through the college of naval architec-
ture with high hOnOrs, and became a
constructor at the admiralty, under
Sir Nathaniel Barnaby. He left the
service in 1885, and became naval arch
itect to the distinguished firm of Sir
w. Armstrong, Whitw6rtI & Co., when
Mr. White. as he then was, vacated that
post. During his stay at Elswick, he
has built whole fleets of ships for more
than one navy. In the war between
Japan and China his ships fought on
both sides in the fight, and those best
able to judge have declared that they
fulfilled all the conditions for which
they were designed in a very high de-
gree. Amongst other nations, Chill

by Senator Nelson, of Minnesota.
There seems to be no doubt of its pas
sage by both houses of the present
congress. Mr.. Merriam's work as
head of the census bureau has famil-

and by reason of this he is peculiarly
fit for the discharge of the duties of the

is alert in his business methods and by
his strict integrity he has a personal

WAR ON WOMEN JOURNALISTS.
Men Who Are Employed on London
Papers Are Afraid of Amer
sz# lean Writer'S.

War has been declared upon the
women journalists of London by the
male writers for the METROPOLITAN
daily press. The entire writing staff
of men on the London Chronicle have
united in demand upon the propri-
etors of that paper to reduce the pay
of the women writer's one-third. This
demand was granted the other dav
and the pay of the women cut accord
ingly.
The movement is spreading. It is
said that the men writer's on other bio
newspapers are contemplating the
demand for absolute dismissal of the
women. Many of the women are
Americans.
Editors have found out that bright
young American women can give
splendid service as special writer's. and
their number employed on the daily
press has been steadily increasing. A
state of panic seems to have seized
upon the young and old men employed
in journalism, and the future is full of
authorizations.
