prise is expressed at the adverse result

The English Northern Counties miners
are against ~resuming, and, Whist is equally
surprising, the South Wales men are bv two
to one in favour of resumption. Although
more miners are working, general unemploy,
ment is now at its maximum, and the dis
tress is increased by bad weather, and snow
in the North of England. In London the
price of coal has declined by three shillings
and ~sixpence a ton. The Olympic has sailed
with coal filling her third class dining sa-
loon, lest she may be unable to coal at New
York.
The death is announced Of Edward Terry,

Captain SCOTS story is a thrilling one. All
his party fell into a creyasse, and narrowly
escaped, once the camp tioated away on an
ice foe, and ponies died in a blizzard, the
motor sledge did excellent work under some
conditions. Messrs Scott, Wilson, Oath, Bow
ers and petty officer Evans were advancing
when the news was sent back. Sir Err
nest Slnckleton calculates they reached
the South Pole fifteen DAYS later. IEai-
torial comments attribute the sloWmess of
the march to tie heaviness Of the equipment
for scientific research and the badness Of
the weather, strongly contrasting with Cap-
tam Amundsen's marching like a dance. The
pluck and endurance of the expedition arc
highly praised. Lieutenant Evans was sent
back, and is recovering from scurvy.
The Prince oil Wales has arrived in Paris
upon a visit to the Marquis Breteuil, travel
ling inco8nito as the Earl of Chester. The

he will show the same interest in Fiance as
his grandfather. One object OF his visit is
to perfect his French accent during the in
terval until he enters Oxford. Although
incognito he will visit President FaliiGres,
and later the Kaiser.
Colonel Goethals having re-af1irmed his
statement, the German Foreign Office re
explains that the Kaiser's denial relates mere
" to fOrt.itication of the canal against any
specific power like Japan or England, as
suggested by General Sir Ian Hamilton. A
portion Of the Berlin press bitter
lY upon the matter, and reprOaches the court
for allowing haphazard foreigners to get
into personal touch with the Kaiser, whose
garrulity, they say, causes painful incidents,
and some use abusive language toward Colo
mel Goethals. A parliamentary incident is
possible.
