London, .Tax. 30, -Joseph Chamber
lain, Soorotary of State for the Colonies,
speaking In Birmingham at the annual
dinner of ;he Jewellers' and Sllvorsmiths'
Association. said: "Wo now sou our

Under the oi:oumstaneus, the Arse busi-

bonds which united us to tho other
members of the English-speaking race,.
and to promote their co-operation in the

to be the mission of the Anglo-Saxon

Speaking of the Government's Imperial

Ever in rates.
Paris, Jan, 30. --The Government"'
decision to submit to tied Chamber of
Deputies today a bill providiug that
oases of trial revision shall be brought
before the united sections of the Court of
Cessation, has reopened the floodgates o!
the Dreyfus agitation. The situation
appears more confusing and menacing
than eve!',
For days the anti-Dreyfusites have
been clamoring to have the case referred
to the united sections, because they have
considered it certain that among mora
than 30 judges they could rely upon au'
an ti.-Droyfusite majority.
M. Loew, president of the Criminal
Cbamber, who was asked has opinlop re-
gardng the tst'.vernment's proposal, said:
"I am glad to be relieved of the respon•

The auti-revisionist papers arojabilant,

there bas been unusual ezoitotnent and
aotivity. It Is thought in some quarter*
that the Senate will refuse to accept the
bill, thus produeing a constitutional
crisis.
A "Mono Railway" to Ile Built Between
Manchester and. Liverpool.
Liverpool, Jan, 30. -'lee Iiverpool
•Chamhor of Commerce is favorably con-
sidering a proposition to bund a "mono
railway" between this city and Man-
chester, over which trains are to run at
.a speed of from 100 to 150 miles an hour.
Mr. F. B. Beer, the advocate of the
,scheme, bas demonstrated to the setts -
/action of the members of the chamber
that the new systema will obviate the
•ordinary dangers of railroad travel. De-
railments are an impossibility, and there
-will be fewer collisions than in the
two -rail system. The cars intended for
the line are to be fitted with wheels in
"the centre, and they will run on an ele-
vated rail.
The position of the coach on the rail-
way may be likened to the saddle-paoks
which hang on each side of the camel's
ibaok.

New Scheme in 40-sylgatlon.
Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 30. -The Cleve-
land Steam Canal Boat Company, at rte
meeting on Saturday, aeoidod to adopt
a novel proposition in naval architec-
ture. The company now sends oanal
boats down the lakes in tow and then
hauls them tnrough the Erie Canal. It
bas now been decided to construct a
steel barge 860 feet long and 45 feet
wide, with a double bottom and sides,
which can be pumped out like a drydook.
Into tele barge will -be loaded the
smaller boats for transportation to the
head of the Erie Canal, where they will
be floated and sent on their way. By
the use of this barge the small boats will
be saved from the dangers attending a
trip on the lake in rough weather. Naval
architects who have been consulted say
the plan is feasible.
