A despatch from Ottawa says: -The
epartment of Agriculture promises to
information available shortly in
ection with the experiments into
causes of tuberculosis and methods
of prevention and treatment which
have been conducted by the Dominion
veterinaries. More than a year since
the department announced its willing-
ness to test oattle in various parts of
Canada, where there was any suspicion
of tuberculosis. The result has been
a very general testing of the Canadian
herds, and the collection of accurate
and valuable information such as °child
not have been gained by other means.
Not more than seven per cent. of
the animals tested were found to have
contracted. the germs of the disease.
This is a most agreeable surprise, to
the authorities here, who had rather in-
clined to believe that the disease was
far more common. The slaughtering ef
the infected cattle will go a long way
toward stamping out tuberculosis in
Canada.

the vessel.
ONLY 31 PEOPLE SAVED.
According to a despatch just re-

of the 200 persons constituting the
passengers and crew of the Mohegan,
only 31 have been saved.
This intelligence was forwarded. from

The coastguards are watching for
bodies and wreckage. The lifeboats
have gone into Port Haustock.

EATER.
The latest inrormation from the scene
of the wreck of the Atlantic Trans-
port Co.'s steamer Mohegan shows that
eleven passengers and 39 of the crew
and cattlemen have been saved, mak-
ing 50 in all, while 43 passengers and
65 of the crew probably were drowned.
Accounts are conflicting, but it would
appear that, 33 bodies have been recov-
ered, of which at least 12 are those of
passengers.
One of the victims was Mr. James
Blackey, buyer for the firm of John
Macdonald & Co., of Toronto, Miss
Fraser, a Montreal lady, and Miss
Shepherd, of Woodstock, are also re-
ported to be among the lost.
The officers and crew of the steamer
are stated to have shown great hero-
ism, and all the surviving passengers
appear to have nothing but praise for
the ship's company.
There are sinister rumors that the
Mohegan was not sound, although a
new ship, her boilers and engines be-,
ing asserted to have proved very weak.
The ship's owners deny, these state-
ments.
The cause of the disaster so far is
a mystery.

A despateh from London says :-Sir

the Exclaequer, speaking at North

nounced that the Government had
opened negotietions with the Powers
with ti view a &souring to the sub-
jects of the earious powers the "right
of developing the respectiv5 spheres in
which each country is espeeially in-
terested."
Regarding the Fashoda question, he
said he wislsed cordially to acknow-
ledges, the desire, evicleaced in the
speeches of Lord Rosebery and Mr.
Herbert Asquith, to help the Govern-
ment in the matter, "a matter which
might develop to the utmost gravity."
"It is impossible," he continued, "for
France to maintain that she has poli-
tical rights at Fasisoda. She has na-
turally and properly asked for time
to receive Major Marchand's report,
but until the contrary is proved I de-
cline to believe that France will re-
fuse to withdeaw. If she refused, the
matter would assume an aspect as
grave as is possible between the two
great nations,

FIRE IN A CROWDED THEATRE,
Tensible Molocaust Narrowly Averted lit
tontion-Dallway Wreck Due to Care-
less Loading of Freight Cars.
A despatch from London says :-Eng-
land has supped to the full on horrors
in the last few days. The disaster
to tbe Atlantic transport liner Mohe-
gen-which, despite the lurid sugges-
tion that the vessel was drawn on the
rocks by magnetic force, still re-
mains as great a mystery as ever -
heads the list, followed by the blow-
ing up and. burning of a naphtha -lad-
en vessel. Then comes Wednesday
morning's news of a railway accident,
in which a score of persons were eith-
er killed or wounded; while only by a
narrow chance was averted the de-,
struotion by fire of the Tivoli, one of
the deeding London variety thea-
tres, when packed to the doors with
people.
The notable feature of all these so-
ealled accidents is the fact that each
was entirely preventable. The rail-
way wreck was due to the careless load-
ing of freight ears down the line, so
that they were struck by the express
bound up. The explosion of naphtha
was probably due to bringing a naked
light into a compartment which, it
might.have been known, was filled. with
inflammable vapour. The Tivoli fire,
in its turn, was practically a repeti-
tion of the fire ia the charity bazaar
in Paris last yeer, without the fright-
ful holocaust that attended that fire.
It was due, like the other, to the reck-
less handling of cinematographe are-
paratus.
CHINESE EMPEROR IS ALIVE.

Beyond Dispute.
• A despatch from Pekin says :-The
physician who visited the Emperor
Tue,sday morning made a minute exam-
ination of bis Majesty in the presence
of the Dowager Empress, Prince Ching,
and a ;number of mandarins. Exact de-
tails as to the specific disease from
wbich the Emperor is Suffering have
not been obtained, but he is weak, ana-
emic, and requires constant care. He
is in na immediate danger, was cheer-
ful, and showed the utmost deference
to the Dowager Emaress. The doctor
promised to send his 'Majesty a pres-
cription.
It was at the auggestion of the Bri-
tish Minister, Sir Claude Macdonald.
that the Chinese Foreign Office re-
quested the physician attached to the
French Legation to examine the Em-
peror, the reason assigned for this step
being that, this physician was the only
one attached to the Legation..
The estaminettion of tile Emperor by
a foreign doctor is a complete innova-
tion. It has often been urged, but had
aiways been refused by the Emperor
himself and the Dowager Empress has
evidently taken this step few the pur-
pose of silencing rumours as to the
Emperor's condition.
