London this week will be the centre of
the worlds sports, beginning with a review of
$500 athletes by the Kings of England
Greece and Norway an many other royal
personages, and twenty fvo national flags
will be lowered in salute when the British
national anthem is sung.
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, unlike
the late General Sir Redvers Butler, when
under criticism keeps his temper and will
not be goaded into indiscretions. His posi-
ton would be improved if it should appear
that he did not give the dangerous order,
resembling Admiral Tryon's, or If he should
be forced to resign through i~ntrigues and
allegations of not up to date. Some of his
critics are bitter enough to revive the inci-
dents of Lord Hoods retirement in 1895 as
a controlling precedent.
The Midland, Great Eastern, Great North
ern and Great Central railways have bean
considering 8 combination for reducing un-
economic competition, aud after a fortnight's
secret session the chairman OF the compa-
MES representatives reports progress and
states that there is reason to believe the
Board of Trade will be open minded, but
that positive statements would be prema-
ture. The companies systems aggregate
tour thousand miles with a capitalization Of
1853, 100000 pounds.

respondent states that the Persian Minister
for Foreign Affairs, dressed i'll q full uniform,

himself.
It is credibly reported that the Kaiser and

This naturally interests King Edward and

The Spearfish Mail of the 22nd says,
there appears to be considerable feeling
among some of the members of the Black
Hills Society of Pioneers over the re-
cent action in amending the constitu-
tion to admit the children of pioneers,
but refusing to admit those who came
here in 1877. At least one member in
this locality has expressed determina-
ton to withdraw from membership.
The line of demarkation between those
who came in 1876 and those who fol-
lowed in 1877 is so slight that it will al
ways cause argument and resultant
feeling among the old pioneers. Many
reasons are urged for the admittance OF
the Tiers, and as many reasons pre-
sented by the 76ers why they should
not be admitted 1t is no fight of the
newspapers, however, and should be-
left to the two societies to settle.
