Toronto Globe Takes Issue With
Mr.. Whiddon Graham, One
Time Canadian.

VIZ Ottawa, Ont, June 1s.-The Toronto
Globe, leading government newspaper.
takes issue with Whiddon Graham,
who wrote TO the Montreal Star warn
ing Canadians against reciprocity. The
Globe says.
''AIr. Graham is a Canadian by birth.
who long ago annexed himself to the
United States. OF that personal an
nexation he has not repented, SO that
his good precepts are somewhat nulll-
fed by his evil example.
while 1T is n matter OF Indifference
to his fellow countrymen which side
Of the border he prefers for purposes
of residence, Mr.. Graham's letter, un-
der the circumstances in which II was
written,iis worthy OF some notice for
he is the same man who three weeks
ago admitted on oath before the FL
nance Committee of the Senate of the
United states that in opposing reci-
procity he was an instrument OF the
United States trusts, and was working
for them in the hope or obtaining am
pie recOmpense, under the cloak of the
Changers organtza ton. The nrm of
Allen e Graham, backed by the expec-
taton of ample funds from the trusts,
whom they had served upon previous
occasions, had large share in rousing
the northwestern farmers of the
United States against the agreement
and carrying on the lobby in the
Senate.
The exposure of the operations OF
Messrs. Allen and Graham and the
rroof supplied that the trusts we're
striving TO prevent reciprocity turned
tho scale at Washington In favor of
the agreement. and its adoption Is now
almost certain.
'"What does the letter to the
Montreal Star presage? Having failed
at Washington, are the trusts OF the
United States going to try to defeat IL
at the polls IN Canada by spreading
abroad the ridiculous Idea that rect
procity means annexation? II that is
the program it's working out has been
intrusted TO very poor agents. The

WOMAN EXPLORED
 DARKEST AFRICA

London, May 27.-(Special) )-Miss Olive
 Macleod, daughter of Sir Reginald Mac Leod, late permanent under-secretary of
 Scotland, has reached England from Gen. tral Africa, where he has accomplished a tour of close upon 4000 miles into the bare ly known regions of the interior. This great journey was made with the private object of visiting the spot at Maifoni where Lieut.. Boyd Alexander, the ex- plorer, to whom Miss Macleod was en-
 gagged, lies buried. Miss Macleod left
 England in August last.
 For six months Miss Macleod, with her companions, MT. and Mrs. P. A. Talbot journeyed in land where white woman had not before penetrated, and during four months the route was in a region new even to Englishmen. Much of the time they made their way on foot along the scarcely native tracks through the bush
 Miss Macleod in statement given out yesterday said. French Ubangi was reached in October last. and after great reception by the Lam'do at Lere, sue cessful attempt was made to find tho falls on the Mao Kabi, which by the testimony of the French officials and natives hao never been actually seen before. After this success the French authorities asked permission to name the falls Les Chutes Macleod. At Lake Chad an excursioh was made to the north to visit the ex- traordinary picturesque rocks of Had1i-ei- Hamis, which are venerated for hundreds
 of miles around and even at Mecca as the spot on which Noah's ark rested. Tnough the natives declared 1t an impossible feat, we climbed the highest peak. Lake Chad was crossed in canoes, and 1t took eignt days, of which five were spent without a sight of land"
 Among the things Miss Macleod has brought back are two little lion cubs. which were three months old when they

 The attendant, although serving her meals daily three times never saw the princess during the 20 years she remained in retirement from the world
 Princess Shachayoskoi,, who had taken her whole realzable fortune into her room, paid for each meal separately, leaving the money in the other room for the attendant.
 Once when the Governor of Moscow paid a visit of inspection to the palace for the purpose of ascertaining what had become of the princess, she shrieked abuse at him from behind closed doors of her apartments, and threatened to commit suicide if he attempted to force entrance to her retreat.
 The governor thereupon appointed the Countess Tournay guardian of the prin- cess, and this lady, with the help of a legal adviser administered the princess s vast estates, and kept the remainder of her palace in order.
 The princes was found dead Sunday and a post-mortem examination showed that death was from. starvation. The police found $500000 hidden in mattress and in other hooks and corners of the inner room, which had not been entered for 20 years by anyone save the princess.
 Details have been received In St. Petersburg of the shooting of M. Efmoff, the prisoners inspector at Vologda, where a number of political prisoners were recently subjected by his order to severe fioggings.
 The attempt was made on his life dur ing a performance in the principal local theatres. The curtain was being lowered when a girl, seated in one of the front rows of the stalls, drew out a revolver and fired five shots at M. Efnoff, wound ing him severely in the neck and arms Mme. Efnoff, an officer and a lady sitting in front of them were also wounded. s
 Profiting by the panic among the audi ence, the girl, who was dressed in black. ran out into the foyer and escaped into the street by an emergency exit, crying

 Whatever benefit her majesty received from the baths, has not made her well woman by any means. Her condition has been one constant worry to the Tsar all this year. For one thing, the Tsaritza has never become acclimatised, either to the Russian climate or the ways of Russian society For the rest ever since she became sharer of her husbands S throne her life has been one long terror, and all the specialists and all the "cures" in the wide world will never cure her of the effect of that.

 When Herr Schob awoke he found his wife lying dead in the hall on the floor, while his own had left the house through an open window after strangling his step mother
