THE QUEBEC TERCENTENARY.

The Princes of Wales on Monday had q
delightful variation from public ceremonies
In a comparatively quiet visit to Il typical
Professionalism village, aud t. chateau dat
ing from the year 1779-St. Joachim, 20
miles down the st. Lawrence. In making
the tour Of the quaint village, he was bearti-
ly cheered by the assembled inhabitants, md
greatly delighted many by entering into
conversation with them IN Fronch. After
luncheon he returned to Quebec in a motor
caN stopping at St. Anne do Beaupr6.
A pleasant episode occurred at the Citadel
that morning. Before tho Prince left for st.
10 tchim, Mir. Fraser and Mr.. Murray, the
Governor and Premier respectively Of Nova
Scotia, and Mr.. Fielding, the Federal
Finance Minister, waited on his Royal High
ness to ask him to convey to the Princess -
beautiful fur cloak as the gift OF the people
OF Nova Scotia. The garment was made in
Nova Scotia. 1t is of mink skin and the
buttons are Of "a carat Nova Scotia gold,
with native pearls and amethysts, the work
manship being entirely native. The gift is
contained in q casket Of native wood, trimmed
with Nova Scotia steel and gold.

TYPHOON IN CHINA.
GREAT DAMAGE AND LOSS OF LIFE.

Reports have been received from Canton
that q devastating typhoon ragged there on
Tuesday morning. Thousands of native
craft and the entire feet of flower boats,
launches, cargo boats, and lighters were
swaurped, and there was considerable loss OF
life. His Majesty's river service steamship
Robin and the French river gunboats Argus
and Vigilante went adrift and were constde-
rably damaged in the West River. The
steamship lung Kong foundered Numerous
houses have collapsed, ~entombing the occu-
pants, and the public gardens have been
wrecked.
There was a typhoon at Hong-kong on
Monday night lasting two hours. His Ma
iesty's destroyer Whiting is ashore off Ly-
eemun. The crew were saved. A tug has
been despatched to the vessels assistance.
The position of the destroyer is bad. Sal
vagers have been tightening the vessel and
removing stores and arms.
Many ships were damaged by collisions.
The public gardens were wrecked, and
the streets blocked with debris.
Our Insurance Correspondent says =
The ominous part of the messages is the
statement that numerous launches have
foundered or gone ashore, for past expert
ence has shown that the principal losses qc-
cur through the sinking of lighters and 9TH
er small craft used for loading and unload
ing the big steamers lying out i'll the stream.
Among steamers which were driven ashore
were the Pacific Mail steamer Persia and the
local trading steamer Charles Hardouin. The
Persia has for some time been laid up at
Hong-kong, and is a vessel of 1856 tons,
built in 1881, and valued at 100000 Ibid.

THE RIOTS IN BOMBAY.

The disturbances in Bombay, originating
in popular manifestations of sympathy for
Mir. Tilak, assumed serious proportions on
FRIDAY, Attacks were made by rioters on
Europeans III the streets, ou)breaks occurred
IN all the factory districts, and a mail train
was attacked by a mob, which afterwards
assaulted some native policemen. The Bonn
bay Volunteers, who were stationed near,
tired on the crowd, and veral persons were
killed and others wounded. All tn availn
bic military were called out.
There was further rioting in Bombay on
Monday. The crowds were repeatedly dis
persed, but promptly reassembIed. The
Governor, Sir G. S. Clarke, addressed q
meeting of leading citizens on Monday af.
ternoon with regard to the situation, ex-
pressing his disappointment that the Gov
eminent had not received either the moral
support or the active assistance which were
to be expected from the leaders of the com
munity. The Government, he said, would
not be deferred from enforcing the law or
the Courts from administering justice by
useless demonstrations
There were only slight disturbances on
Tuesday. The Governor issued a procla-
nation announcing that he would deal Sc
verely with rioting and unlawful assem-
blages.
A despatch of Wednesdays date says =
The city is perfectly quiet. The majority
of the mills are working, and the markets
and shops have been reopened. Seven of
those arrested for stone throwing yesterday
have been sentenced to q years rigorous
imprisonment.-Lbid

The general results of the experiments
have shown that factors other than Tue APP
plication of artificial! manures exert the
most marked influence on the yield of cotton
obtained. The crop requires that the land
shall be in good condition, and it is the
experience OF planters that this condition is
best served by the use of natures of the
faIm-yard type, or by green dressings.
Under the circumstances prevailing in the
Leeward Islands, the crop return obtained
with Sea Island cotton is evidently influence
ed more by the time of planting tban by
manurinG with artifcials. The variations
in the yields obtained as the results of
planting in June, in August, and in Sep
TENDER OF October respectively, were shown
in the tabular statement given in the course
of an article dealing with the cotton expert
ments at ST. Kits that appeared in the
agricultural Neus of July II last (Vol. VII,
P. PA
The low return Of seduction obtained
from The September sown area-474 ID. per
acre-and the fact thot still lower yields
were given each year in the past, appear
certainly to indicate that sowing in this
month is too late for cotton planters in st.

THE MARCEL WAVE"

The English hairdressing trade, as re-
presented by the Hairdressers' Societies
General Purposes Committee of London, or
gained a special entertainment at the Hol-
born Restaurant on Tuesday in honour of
the visit to London of NJ. Marcel, of Paris.
The centre of the King's-hall was occupied
with two long tables, at which demonstra-
tions were given by the four London hair
dressing schools of What is known as the
''Marcel wave" a style which seems to have
superseded "the outward adjoining of plait-
ing the hair" The Marcel wave consists of
fine flowing curves, in pleasant contrast to
the old-fashioned "frizzling." When NJ.
Marcel entered the hall he was received by
Colonel r. A. Browne, A. D. G. to the King,
and by members of the committee, of which
Mr.. G. Stewart was chairman, Mr.. W. Fair
vice-chairman, and Mr.. P. W. Baxter and
Mr.. F. j.. Crotty honorary secretaries. The
band played the Marseillaise as M. Marcel
came into the hall, and he mounted the plat
form to give a personal demonstration of his
art, to the strains of "See the conquering
hero comes" There were present represent
tatives of all sections of the trade, including
Mr.. David Nicol, Master of the Hairdress-
ers' Guild Mr.. Charles Unwin and Mr..
Foxes, Past Masters and Mr.. Walter Fair,
Warden. The evening closed with a dance
and presentation of a casket containing an
illuminated address to NJ. Marcel Ibid.

THE LICENSING BILL.
A HYDE PARK DEMONSTRATION.

The supporters of the Licensing Bill in
London demonstrated their enthusiasm on
Saturday by marching under q glaring sun,
with bands Of brass and of ~bagpipes behind
them and before and heavy "blanket'' ban
ners held painfully aloft, from the embark
ment and remote suburbs to Hyde Park.
The processionists are said to have been
100000 strong; they were certainly a great
number, and they were still marching in
when the 100 speeches were nearly over.
There was 81 tone Of robust conviction in
such banner notices as "The Big D Alliance
Drink, Disease, and he Devil aud this
tone occasionally provoked argument, and
drew together those little groups of auimat-
ed controversialists for which Hyde Park
il famous.
There was nothing like rowdyism, and
even of opposition there was so little that it
could be treated with contempt The only
indication Of nm organized design to oppose
the speakers was afforded by half-a dozen
stalwart and rather merry working men in
the neighbourhood of Mr.. Churchill's plat
form. They had a baby's milkbottle among
them-from which they had obviously not
been drinking, for it, at least, was full-and
tins they held up every two or three minutes,

ACCIDENT IN THE LOr SCHBERG
TUNNEL.

A serious accident occurred at Kandersteg
on Friday at the L0tschberg tunnel works.
Some blasting operations were being carried
on, and all the men had drawn back so or
100 yards in the accustomed manner. The
explosion was followed by an avalanche of
water mixed with mud and sand, which
burst into the tunnel. The majority of the
men were able to retreat in safety, but %
Of them are missing. It is feared that they
have been drowned by the water, which fill
ed the galleries.
1t appears that the water burst through
from the River Kander. The gallery is full
of wator and mud for a distance of 1900
metres. Ibid.

every one was sorry when the homely sall7es
of Mr.. Crooks were arrested by the signal to
put the resolution.
The other speakers included the Dean of
Carlisle, Lord Kinnaird, Dr.. Clifford, Mr.. A.
Henderson, M. P, Chairman of the 7 abour
party, and many other members of Parlia-
ment. Ibid.
