 England is apparently within meas urable distance of some very import ant changes in her shipping laws, as result of the recent internatfonai diplomatic conference at Brussels As things stand, the British rule Is that where ships are both found to blame
  of each others damage The practice often works out harshly. Thus. ves- sei whose navigation may have con tributed in but minor and even technical degree to the catastrophe, and which escapes with comparatively slight injury, may be called upon tc pay, on balance. a large amount If the other vessel and ner cargo are seri- ousfy damaged. The continental prac- tice Is more discriminating. The court takes upon itself to assess the grav- ity of the fault of the one ship and of the other. and apportions the lia- bility accordingly. The proposal now is that England should abolish her rule in favor of that which finds more general acceptance.

 within less than month King Ed ward has lost two of his closest friends. The deaths of Montagu Guest and ConsueIol Duchess of Manchester, following so quickly one upon the oth- CT. have greatly distressed his majes- ty. and the royal set can never be the same now that they are missing. For years Consuefo Duchess of Man chester had entertained the King at her lovely villa at Biarritz on nurner- ous occasions while he was paying his customary visit to the continent in the spring. As a hostess she had a reputation which all her friends in society envied. Her dinners and card parties were invariably a success. and she had the rare quality of being able to maintain friendly relations with all the attractive women whom. in the course cf her interesting ea- reer she had occasion to meet.

 "CaptainP Is coal black from fore to fetlocks except for a white star In the middle of his forehead which sets off his coal black coat handsomely. He is full of spirit as becomes his calling but is even tempered and takes his traveling inconveniences with horse ly equanimity. bringing his nose up to be rubbed when visitors call and never tiring of turning about for the satisfaction of curious callers who are sure to come wherever the, train stops and the news gets abroad that "the Presidents horse is Tn town"
 The special car was attached to a Louisville and Nashville train arriv- Ing in Montgomery Sunday afternoon and the railroad officials said that every precaution for the safety of the horse was being observed. Stops are made for him to secure good water and feed.

COLD WEATHER RECORD

Not except in the memory of the oldest inhabitants has the particular brand of weather experienced by Montgomerians during the last week been equailed. There have been cold spells in this spot of the sunny South, there have been bitter freezes and blizzards and such visitAtions of Jack Frost, but rarely has there been seven consecutive days of the weather of last week.
 Every night the thermometer has dropped to the ice figure or there about, for the past week. And a record for continued frigidity has been made. And thase householders who have figured on coal economy feel their hopes go glimmering with the prospect of hard winter.
 Already there are some whose fuel bills have amounted mp to the entire figure of last winter.
