Ship Brings 1900 Passengers.

Halifax, N. S., April 1.-The Allan
steamer Victorian was sighted off this
harbor on her maiden voyage from
Liverpool this forenoon. Great inter
est has developed in connection with
the Victorian's coming on account of
her being equipped with turbine en-
gines and government delegation
from Ottawa has come here to meet
her. The Victorian was built for the
Liverpool-Montreal route, but as the st.
Lawrence river is still closed by ice,
the vessel on this trip will land her
freight and most of her passengers at
st. Johns. The steamer has on board
about 1,5O0 persons, nearly all Of
whom are bound for the west.

DECIDES AGAINST FRENcHMEN.
Venezuela Supreme Tribunal Sustains
Verdict of Lower Court.

Venezuela Supreme Tribunal Sustains
Verdict of Lower Court.
Washington, April Minister Bow.
en- has cabled from Caracas to the
state department that the president of
the Venezuela supreme court has de-
cided against the French Gable com
pany in that part of the suit involving
the forfeiture of the company's con-
cession but that it had decided ad-
versely to the government in it's claim
for damages because the company had
not lived up to its concession.
Thus the case somewhat resembles
that of the Asphalt case, though in
that matter the decision while declar
ing forfeiture of franchise postponed a
declaration as to the suit for damages
against the company.
1t is said that the government is
final decision has not been rendered
because the right of appeal has not
been exhausted, and it will be many
weeks or even months before that
stage is reached.
1t is sal dthat the government is
not directly concerned in the French
Cable company's proceedings at this
stage and indeed, it is rather expected
that the company's agents in Venezue-
la will probably be able to adjust their
differences with the government by di.
rect exchanges.

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's

than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.

Our principal object was to visit

except for that purpose.
There is q very large shellak an.
chorage in the center of the southerly
part OF the island. By dredging the
interior space and widening the en-.
trance the place could be provided for
ten battleships and number of small.

needed in the harbors of Porto Rico
especially at Ponce and Mayaguez, are
largely those who should be undertak.
