Sir Alexander Swettenham, the type of .hide- bound. conservative official, is to be succeeded as Governor of Jamaica by Socialist. Sydney Olivier. who has been appointed, Governor Of the strick- en island, by the Radical Government. is an avowed Socialist. and is certainly the first colonial Governor ever ap- pointed who holds those views.
 Mir. Olivier said after his appoint ment: T am Socialist of many years standing, and shall continue my membership of the Fabian Society. My official duties will be these of Gov ernor of Jamaica; my private beliefs will remain as they have been during my twenty-five years work at the Co., ionial Ofhce.

Zig Amerienn Season.

West End tradesmen and hotel pro- prietors are anticipating an unprece- dented American season. this year. In spite of the financial panic on Wall Street. the influx of millionaires Is ex- pected to be the greatest on record, not only in numbers, but as regards the amount of money they will spend here.
 One point that gives the Londoner in- tense satisfaction is that the crowd of fashionable Americans IS likely to stay in London on their arrival, instead of passing through to Paris to spend the bulk of their money. The attraction that will keep them in London Is the great International Horse Show in June, where Alfred G. Vanderbilt will exhibit his unrivalled stud.
 The automobile tour of 150 Ameri- cans through Europe. headed by w K. Vanderbilt, Payne Whitney and F. R.. Thomas, will start from London, bring ing abundant grist to the mill of the London tradesman. A fact that makes that worthy rub his hands in joyful anticipation is that the aggregate capi- tai represented by a dozen of the ex- pected Americans belonging to the Vanderbilt, Gould, Bradley Martin, Stuyvesant Fish and Whitney families, is estimated at $500, ,000,000!

Keep Preparations Secret.

The British Government, which is urging the other powers to discuss Limitation of armaments" at The Hague Conference, means to keep its own war preparations a dead secret.
 The Admiralty has just issued orders that the construction of all ships built for the navy in future shall be carried out in secrecy. The complete design of any ship will be known to no individ- ual at the dockyards, and the engineers and other employees will be sworn to divulge none of the details. This pol icy which was adopted in the case of the Indomitable. recently launched, and said to be the most powerful cruiser in the world.
 At the same time the War Office has notified officers and soldiers that they are forbidden to publish. or communi- cate either directly or indirectly, to the press, any military information or their views on any military subject, without special authority
 The order as to secrecy in ship -build- ing has become necessary owing to tho anxiety of foreign powers to learn the details of new British ships. and their unscrupluous methods, of gathering this kind of information.

Ow,ersb,u of snIoona.

State ownership of saloons Is suc- cesful experiment at Gwalia, a mining town in Western Australia. The Gov ernment owns a hotel with saloon att tached, and is making a handsome profit out of the enterprise while re- straining the tendency to excessive drinking among the miners,
 The hotel is controlled by man ager on a salary, with no. incentive to pushing the sale of drink. Only the purest beveragesseare sold. and the manager has the power, on the com plaint of any tntemperate mans wife or relative, to refuse him more than two Hong beers' in a day. This restric- tion which the miners call being put under the Dog Act ,has resulted in almost suppressing drunkenness in the town. On a recent Sunday not one drink was sold or asked for.
 The profit cleared by, this State owned saloon is $15.ooo annually

 Another case which came to my mo- tice showed the devotion of parents for an unfortunate child--a devotion which touched me deeply because 1t involves the patient care of life time and ac- tual deprivation. This son married and had his home, but rheumatism de- veloped until he became helpless, His wife deserted him and married another man--one who could support her. His condition became worse. until he is now practically in a condition of living death. His entire body. excepting his neck and hands. Is ossifying. When he became helpless his old parents took him back home and cared for him. Each day wheni 1t was pleasant they would carry him outside the hut in order that he might see the world go by the Eskimo world on parade is. so you may imagine, a not over-gay or hilarious sight. But it was the one bright spot in poor Tahtarhrah's day.

Each time that I have gone North have vfsited this faithful old couple. Each time the boys condition is worse. They have no hope for his recovery or his ever being other than helpless Invalid, demanding their con- stant care. But they are faithful--and will be to the end.
 Death Ceremonies.
 The Eskimos have very interesting ceremonies connected with their death and burial" said MT. Peary. and one sees strange sights in an Eskimoland graveyard. When an Eskimo dies his grave is not heaped with flowers, not even with iceland moss, nor is he laid away with the belief that there will be a resurrection of the body. There are no graves--that is no openings in the ground, for. of course, the earth, is too hard to be broken. Stone are heaped upon the body, and beside these stones is placed his sledge, to which his dogs are harnessed, then strangled Upon the sledge are laid his canoe, his weapons, all his personal effects, and especially everything which may be needed for a journey. For he Is, sometime. going to come forth from the grave and he will need all these things for his journey to tho happy hunting ground. It is not spiritual sphere to which he hopes to go. but ma ternial one where he will enjoy life in the same old way--with perhaps a lit- tie less trouble than the evil one and a little more of the joys of existence. When he emerges from the grave his dogs also will come to life and stand ready to convey their masters upon his heavenly journey.

CornpuIsorr Military.

Compulsory military service as 1t ex- ists in Germany and France Is to be introduced in England, if Lord Roberts has his way.
 In very sharp article he violently denounces the plan of the Minister of War to form a national or territorial army.
 The national army. as suggested by MT. Haldane, he says, will be neither pational nor an army.
 On the one hand. 1t will not draw into It's ranks any of the classes which fail to serve at preseat. On the other, 1t will not be in any sense an army un- til six months after the emergency has arisen which it is intended to meet
 Tt Is to be trained on a volunteer basis and this training it is now uni versally admitted, will not produce forces capable of meeting highly train ed troops in the field. the only troops. be 1t remembered, which a home de- fense army would be called upon 50 encounter
 Under MT. Haldan'e scheme the six months training which would go far towards fitting the territorial troops for this duty is to be given after the crisis Is on us, not in anticipation of 1t.
 Can this be called in any sense an army? An army which requires six months before 1t can act is not an army; 1t is simply an armed crowd.
 What I consider necessary, is that the six months training laid down by MT. Haldane as necessary to make the territorial forces fit for the field should precede the crisis. and that it should be made compulsory on all able bodied males of the military age.
 For the three years. subsequent to that in which this training takes place the men should come up for repetition courses of a fortnight in each year, and during the four years covering the initial training and the repetition courses they should be lioble for ser- vice for home defense. At the end of these four years all liability to ser vice should cease.

Erin Go Brasgh Again sounds Through Emerald Isle and People are Get Against Britain.
BY ROBERT BRopERrck.

London, April 27.--An anti En glish uprising of the most serious nature is about to break out n.Ireland, and 1t is feared that 1t will be necessary to sup press by military, although the offlcial papers are either entirely silerit-or try to make light of what is really most serious danger to Great Britain.
 The Sim Fein movement is growing at an alarming rate and hundreds of young Irishrnen are focking to It's standards every day. In the words fof Henrick Ibsen's Master Builder" the leaders of the movement declare with sitter of exultation in their eyes: "The younger generation Is knocking at the door"
 Nor are these leaders trying to con ceai their designs against the English. for one of them said the other day in an interview with representative of one of London's most enterprising pa pers, The Daily Express:
 We do not want Home Rule. We do not want any rule at all that comes from England. We want to throw off all foreign governance and be an inde- pendent Irish nation.
 The Sim Fein movement is growing all over Ireland. Our National Council Is organizing everywhere.
 Our paper. The Sim Fein, is even encouraging the similar national move ment in Egypt We are giving all the support we can to attempt out there to throw off British rule.
 We are getting the better classes of Irish people into the Sim Fein move ment now. Both Roman Catholic and Protestant Irishmen are coming in. We have staunch adherents at the Univer- sities of Oxford and Cambridge Most of the Irish students over there are Sim Feiners now.

Continued Assaults Arouse People to
Fury.

Another murderous assault was
added Sunday to the police record of
recent crimes in New York againsts
defenseless women and girls Sunday
nights victim was Mrs. Ellen Bulger,
woman of middle age, who was at
tackled in her apartments in the Bronx
and cruelty beaten and left in q help
less state. The woman was removed
to hospital, where it was found that
her skull had apparently been frac-
tpred and her body otherwise bruised.
There was evidence that the woman
had made a courageous fight. From
what the police were able to imme-
diately learn from her, she was SUR
prised by a smooth-faced stranger
perhaps 40 years of age He was coat
less and wore an outing shirt and
dark trousers. He escaped.
Just before Mrs. Bulger was as
saulted, Georfe Kestner, Russian.
who was charged with attempted as
sault upon an S-year-old girl, was set
upon by a crowd of men and all but
killed. The clothes were torn from
his body and he was taken to a station
house wrapped in a blanket.
Louis Conconela, q years of age,
was the victim of the blind fury of
rioters and will probably die of his
injuries. He was innocent of wrong
doing, but fell before a crowd deter
mined to have revenge on someone.

accused and only the timely interven-
ton of the police saved him from
summary punishment.

Immense Damage is Done Near Aber-
deem.
Several farmers face ruin or mort
cages which will tie them down TOT
some time to come as result OF the
hail storm that swept through the
section of the state around Aberdeen.
The first reports did not exaggerate
the disaster, which is the worst OF us
kind ever known in that country. Re-
ports are beginning to come Of heavy
losses. One farmer reports $40 acres
devastated. and another 1920 acres OF
crops wiped out Many who banked
on big harvest fields find themselves
not only minus crops, but with useless
ground. injured cattle and damaged
buildings and homes. The area OF
the storm was more than sixty miles
in length and seven in width A par
ticularly sad case is reported west OF
Aberdeen. A farmer ordered machlH-
cry three weeks ago. Since then re
buried a son and daughter Now the
wife and other children are i'll in
hospital and the entire crop is wiped
out
Immense blocks Of solid ice are still
on the ground in many low places
, The storm started west and northwest
of Aberdeen and passed due south
through Warner, Rudolph, Randall to
Ashton and Mellette, in Sphinx county,
thence eastwardly. Wherever it struck
the crops are totally destroyed. The
loss will be not less than 100000.
Mansfield reports no hail on the
west. and Worthwhile and Athol the
same.
/! On the east hail fell within two
miles of Brentford.
West of Aberdeen three large farms
report total destruction of crops.

TRAIN PLUNGES INTO RIVER.
Forty Passengers Drown Near Anglers,
France

Forty passengers in a third class
railroad car and the engineer of the
train were drowned Sunday afternoon
In a railroad accident three miles
southeast of Anglers, France.
The locomotive of a crowded local
train jumped the track when entering
the bridge over the river Loire at Les

way and the engine plunged into the
river, fifty feet below, dragging down
with it its tender and the baggage and
third class cars. Fortunately no 9th =
er cars went into the water, as the
coupling between the second and third
cars broke.
The third class car was we'll filled
with passengers, but although part of
the roof was blown off by the con-
fined air as it sank, not single pas
senger extricated himself, and all were
drowned like rats in a trap.
