PREMIER DIAMOND
Recently Discovered $25oc,OO0 Gem
Shipped by Mail.

London. Feb. 2O.-After having been
exhibited in the Office OF the Premier
MING 60. at Johannesburg, South AZ
ric;t. for a week. the monster gem,
known as the Premier diamond, has
been shipped to England on the Union
Castle liner Britnn at Cape Town,
which is due here. next Saturday.
The mammoth diamond-the value of
which is estimated by its owners at
s., 800. n00--has been sent here as an or
binary registered postal package. 1t is
:, curious fact that if the Briton found
ers al sea, if the registered package
goes astrhY, is stolen, smashed or lost
overheard, its shippers will be able to
recover only SO from the post Office.
This is the extreme limit of liability
that the post office will assume for q
registered package. The owners pay the
registry fee Of four cents in addition
to four cents per ounce, according to
weight for postage. so that the cost Of
transportation to the diamond COM
pany is only about 10 cents. The dia-
mon1 has been carefully wrapped in
| cotton wool ana packed in a strong tin
| box.
No extra precaution has been taken
| on TIE steamer. The box containing
| the gem has been placed in the bullion
| room Of the Triton along with the 9TH
| or r. gistered Packages ana there ii will
rest until the steamer reaches port.
when it will be regularly delivered TO
the person to whom il is addressed like
any other registered package
| As Il matter of extra precautiOn. the
|
with the underwriters to its fun value
s.. 800, 000-so that should the diamond
be lost or stolen the Premier company
is protected.
Here in London. the stone will be ex-
hibted for while. After that. its fate
is prOblematical. Ncuman & CO.. the
IonICn agents of the Premier Com
rany, will hold ii subject to the own
rr's orders and on This point Il CORES
rondtnt had I'm Interesting interview
with 4 prcnurMt diamond EXPERT on
Iiolborn viaduct.
These large stones" said he care
| really white elephants 10 their owners.
The Excelsior diamond, which weighed
$40 c:lri!tS ana was at first valued at
$l.1lj.G0O could have been purchased
aftcrWarl Tor SJ0N0y9. Wember. Belt &
Co. finally had to cut it into pieces in
order 10 sell it, ANA I have 10 doubt
hat the Premier Will share the same
fate after it has been exhibited here.
There are no monarchs on milionaires
at the present time VINO would be like
ly 10 purchase the immense gem"
For Il similar reason it is not impos-
sihle that any thief would care TO bur-
den himself with the diamond. granting
the possibility that it could be stolen.
According to the London agents of
the Premier Co. the mine where the
diamond was found is located IA miles
from Pretoria and has only been
worked about IS months. Only KafIir
laborers are employed in the mine and
il is more than probable that the stone
was discovered by one Of the white
overseeers, who are always on the
watch.

TOO POOR.
Marlborough Could Not Swing Vice
roy's Post.

London. Feb. 20.-It is now stated
freely in diplomatic circles that there
is not the iemotest possibility of the
Duke of Marlborough becoming lord
lieutenant of Ireland, notwithstanding
the constant reports which have been
circulated recently concerning his ap-
nointment to the post.
1t is also an open secret that the earl
and countess of Dudley have decided
to give up their official positions after
the general election. The earl of Dud-
ley has been compelled to entertain
more royalty than any previous lord
lieutenant of Ireland. He will be a
poor man when ne leaves Ireland. The
amount which he has spent out of his
private purse is variously estimated at
from 100000 to S150,00O
King Edward and Queen Alexandria
would very much like to see the MARI
bOrOughS established at Dublin castle,
as the duchess is a great favorte of her
majesty and her tact is prOverbial. 1t
is said. however. that the Marlboroughs
are not in a position financially to ac-
cept such a position unless of course,
w. X. Vanderbilt considerably changes
in his attitude toward his son-in-law.
1t is also more than probable that the
the Liberal party. which it is expected
will defeat the Tory party at the next
general election.
