entire existence. The order has paid

 From Assam comes news of the death of Mir A. A. Glass, manager director of the Boroi Tea Company. as the result of injuries which he received at the hands of one of his coolies. Mir. Glass who was the reverse of a hard master, had gone down to the coolie lines on receipt of information that the man in question refused to turn out to work Mir. Glass was sitting on horse- back outside the hut, and after giving orders that the man should be made to turn out, the coolie suddenly rush ed out with a bow and arrow. and before anybody could interfere had sent a rusty shaft right through Mir. Glass's ribs, narrowly missing the heart. It was found impossible to withdraw the arrow, and the head had finally to be cut out from the wound. The injured man at first did well. but blood pois- oning set in, and he died a few days later.

REVIVAL FOR SHIPBUILDING
 INDUSTRY IN ENGLAND

London. Nov. 1.-The revival in ship building Is becoming more pronounced, and there are prospects of fair em- ployment at most of the shipyards du- ring the winter.
 On the Clyde and Tyne most of the yards are now well employed, and more work is expected. The inquiries which are in circulation have reference to several turbine steamers for the Italian State Railways, six steam launches for the Government of Uru- quay, ten vessels for a Turkish com pany, and five steamers for the Rus- sian Volunteer Fleet. which are to cost about $1 800, 900.
 At Belfast, night shifts will be nec- essary to complete the work at pres ont in hand, and when the vessels uTl- der construction are off the ways there are others to follow. Tn addition to the two big White Star boats, Messrs Har- land and Wolff have secured an order from the Red Star Line, of Antwerp, for a 15,000 ton steamer for the New York service. in addition to other ves- sels of smaller size. So busy Is this firm that iutimation has been given to the Admiralty to the effect that Govern ment work cannot be entertained.
 Another Belfast concern, Messrs. Workman. Clark and Company. have re- ceived instructions to complete the six unfinished vessels on their hands for the Brazilian Lloyd, while other con- tracts have been secured that will keep them busy for the greater part of next year.

practically unanimous as to the asthe- tic calue of the portarit, and Millais deemed 1t the best ever done of the poet and his own highest achievement in portraiture. Nothing like ade- quate support has as yet been given to the National Art Collection Fund.
 It is very interesting to see how well-informed the London Press. and indeed the English Press generally is about Ferdinand, the Little Czar," of Bulgaria. It seems to be understood everywhere that he Is a man of the very worst character Princess Louise of Coburg told in her biography of the proposals he had made to her, and when she objected that she was mar ried woman, he informed her that he could easily invite her husband to come out on a visit to Bulgaria and then have him removed" A good many. people believe that Ferdinand has been concerned in all the political assassinations which have disgraced Bulgaria under his rule.
 There is talk in naval circles that Sir w H. May will succeed Lord Charles Beresford in command of the Channel Fleet. Sir W, H. Ma srj DO. sition at the Admiralty as Second Sea Lord will probably be He'd by trans ferring Sir F. Bridgeman from the Home Fleet. Sir Reginald Constance will, 1t Is understood. go to the Home Fleet in succession to Sir F. Bridge man. Concurrent with these changes will necessarily be the redistribution of the xfieet in home waters. The main effect will be to increase the strength of the British naval force in the North Sea.

BIG PRIZES OFFERED FOR
 NAVIGATION OF THE AIR

Paris, Nov, 7-Tempting prizes are now being offered to aviators on all sides, the latest of these being one Of $20. 0.0O0. proposed by the Aero Club de France for the year 1909. The amount of the prize was settled at a recent meeting, but the conditions for win ming it have not yet been decided. It has been proposed to establish sort of circuit between three towns in suitable district, like Champagne, for instance. and to provide that the aero planes shall fly from one town to an other. taking one day for each perform ance. so that the competition would extend over three days. The race. or competition, is to be called the Grand Prix of Aeroplanes. and to be sort of imitation of the Grand Prix automobile race, There Is no doubt that num- her of towns will send delegations to the Aero Club to ask to be chosen for the contest, which would attract thousands of visitors, and be a wind fan to hotel and restaurant keepers.
 An idea, in fact. seems to be general 1v entertained all over France that the way to bring prosperity to any town ar resort is to orga nize aeroplane con tests. Automobile competitions are "vieux jeu."

PRISONS FOR WOMEN.
Miss Chesser Makes Contrast BetweeI
 England and America.

Miss Chesser Makes Contrast Between
 England and America.
 London, Nov. 7-There is superb article in The Contemporary Review by Miss Chesser. M. B.. who contrasts British prisons for women with Amer ican prisons.
 Miss Chesser writes that no attempt has vet been made in British prisons to organize prison industries for wom- en or teach them any handtcratt. The aim of the whole system is punish ment. and the result is dire failure.
 In America. Miss Chesser says "wo- men are taught to read. write, wash and cook. Habits of cleanliness and industry are fostered, and everything the sunken women." whereas in Eng land "no knife or fork is given with the meals and some of the women teaI the food apart with their teeth and nails ike animals. The food itself Is inadequate to maintain health. and the air and exercise allowed are .insufn- cient.. There is one bath week: no hot water is given for any purpose and one small towel must last a week. The prisoners have to sleep in the same clothes they have worn during the day.
 The same treatment applies to all. to the hardened criminal, the morally in- sane, the degenerate, the dipsomaHiac and the first offender. The health of the women prisoners. too. does not re- ceive adequate attention"
 Miss Chesser declares roundly that British prison life kills all self-re- spect and courage in women prisoners. It is a ceaseless round of the meanest menial work, such as scrubbing floors and oakun picking. and has no educa- tional value whatever
 English prisons, both for men and women, in their effect upon the pris> oners. are the worst in Christendom.

Rome. Nov. "A Congress has just been held here to consider the condi- tion of Italian emigrants in all parts of the world. The vast number of Ital- fans who leave Italy every year in search of work has for some time past outgrown the capacity of the special offices and organization which exist for thier protection, and the Congress was convoked to devise fresh measures for improving the circumstances of emigra- ton, which in the United States espe- cially, are said to be far from good.
 Speeches were made by Denator di Martino, Signor Tittoni, and the Syndic of Rome. The Duke of Aosta was pres ent.

 The Natal delegates are not we'll known outside their own Colony. Mir. Moor, the Premier, Is a digger turned farmer. He represented Natal at the last Colonial Conference in London. Mr. Morcom Is a lawyer who was Attorney General of the Transvaal during the British occupation of fss0-s1. Lieuten- ant Colonel Greene Is 8 lawyer with taste for farming and taking part in native wars. Mir. Hyslop is a medical man who has held public offices in Ma tai for many years. MT, Smyth Is farmer and ex-Prime Minister who be- fore long will probably oust Mir. Moor Like most Natal Premiers he has taste for quarrelling Con paper) with the Imperial Government. The Natal delegates are federationists. MT.

TRUSTS IN ENGLAND.

RumOrtd That East Coast COnceas1Ohs
 VIII Be Merged.
 London, Nov. 7-Rumors are current in northern financial circles to the ef- feet that the whole of the engineering concerns on the Northeast Coast have been consolidated into one trust.
 If such a step has been decided upon 1t would have a far-reaching effect, and would involve many millions of capi- tai. The engineering trade on the Northeast Coast. owing to the recent prolonged strike, now happily termin- ated, and trade depression, has passed through very trying period. With the improved outlook for ship-building. there are now hopes of a better state of things in the great engineering workshops of the North.
 The interests of the huge engineer ing concerns are so vAried-to take Armstrong, whitworth and Company as an example--that 1t would be difficult matter to form a common basis for trust Any movement towards consol- idation would probably be prompted, al In the case of the railway companies, by the desire to effect economies. and how far this would react on employ ment would be an interesting problem.

Latkoczy was in the habit of undertaking similar manipulatlons. If he was successful he kept the money, but in the event of the failure of his intervention returned the bribes.

London. Nov. 7-The Issue raised by the case in which Canon Thompson. vicar of Eaton. Norwich. has refused admission to the Holy Communion to Alan Canister. who married his de- ceased wife's sister. is one of consid- erable importance to many thousands of married couples in this country.
 Canon Thompson's attitude has re- ceived the support of the English Church Union, and 1t Is stated that tie body intends to endeavor to get the decision of the Court of Arches revers- ed. On the other hand. a very large body of opinion. both cleric and lay. is In sympathy with Mir Canister, and there Is little doubt that an effort will be made shortly to make the decision of the Court of Arches effective.
 The Court of Arches issued admoni- ton directing Canon Thompson to ad- init Mir. and Mrs. Banister to commun- ion.

GOLD IN AFRICA.
Mr. Coates Makes Report to the Gov
 ernment.


 Entebbe, (Uganda). Nov. "A report by Mir. Coates, the Government Geol- ogist, published in the Uganda official Gazette, states that in the territory west of Lake Albert Nyanza, gold has been found in the Kakoi River gravels up to a point crossing the boundary of the Lado Enclave.
 In the Adzi Valley gold has also been found in conspicuous quantities in grav- els at points below a large dyke cross ing the stream. On the lower course of the M'bago and Adzi Rivers the gravels show a considerable amount of fine gold in the upper layers and tndi- cations of the probable existence of navable auriferous strata. The counr try is easily accessible and close to Lake Albert.
 The country Is in British territory. in nroximity 10 the rich Congo gold ields. The new discoveries prove the existence of gold over a vast area-and probably in the disputed territory late ly surveyed by the Anglo-Congolese Boundary Commission.
