BANK ROBBERY IN LONDON.
*POW
-411 tee Staff of Paris itank Taken Into
Custody.
A despatch frora London, Eng., says:
-The absence of any clue to the thief
who abstracted £60,610 in notes from
Parr's Bank on Monday afternoon in-
creased the suspicion that there was
celluaion inside the bank, and all the
employes were immediately arrested.
The search, however, was fruitless,
Tte notes were taken. from the chief
cashier's drawer while he was at
luncheon. The fact tbat the interior
of the bank is open to the view of pas-
sers-by, makes it seem incredible that
a stranger could have vaulted over
the counter and reached the cashier's
drawer without being seen.
All the numbers of the missing notes
have been published. There were R38,-
000 in Zie000 notes, and these will be
very difficult to handle anywhere, as
the police of the world have been noti-
fied of the robbery and of the numbers
of the notes. If the notes are never
cashed the Bank of England will be so
much the gainer.
Parr's Bank shares fell off a point
to -day on the news of the robbery.
The police agree that if the robbery
was committed by outsiders without
any aid from within it was the most
skilful piece of work of the kind on re-
cord.
The bank has offered a reward of
£1,000 for the discovery of the thief.
WANT MALES IN THE SOUDAN,
Scarcity Owing to the Nunaber Killed An
the Fighting.
A despatch from Cairo says :-Mr. L.
J. Gorst, financial adviser of the Egyp-
tian Government, who accompanied
Lord Cromer to Khartoum, makes the
following remarks on the condition of
the Soudan
"The great want of the country at
present is population. The Khalifa
gathered together in Omdurman a great
number of people previously engaged in
agricultural occupations, and a dearth
of able-bodied males now exist owing
to the number killed in the recent
fighting. A large part of the remain-
der are dispersed through the old vil-
lages, and are resuming their former
occupation of oeltivating the soil. Be-
fore the dervish regime there were be-
tween Khartoum and Berber 3,000
sakiehs, or water -wheels, now there are
only 100, but new ones are being erect-
ed.
"There is no scope yet for the in-
vestment of tapital, and. any scheme
for developing the Soudan by private
enterprise would be premature. Time
and immigration must first settle the
labour difficulty. When Khartoum
is rebuilt it will be a fine town."
BRITISH WARSHIPS COLLIDE.

A despatCh . from Devonport, Eng-

water line sweeping; off her boats, and
damaging a gun sponson.
The Curacoa filled rapidly, a.nd began
to list. A scene of the utmost excite-
ment fellowed on board, but the rush
of water was finally stopped by eolli-
don mats and a number of tugs as-
sisted the cruiser into the harbour,
where she was docked. The damage to
the- Collingwood was not serious.

ADVANCE IN PRICE OF MEAT.
Das to the Large Number or Cattle Being
Reported.
A despatch from Montreal says: -.As
a result of a decision reached by the
Montreal butchers, the price of meat
commencing on Wednesday last, has
been advanced from one to two cents
a pound according to quality.
At present a very large number of
cattle are being exported, and eon -
sequence Montreal butchers have to
pay a high price for live cattle. In the
summer and fall beef in live weight
could be bought for from 2 1-2 to 30 a
pound, but now beef in live weight is
hard to get at 41-2 and 5e a pound. As
the shrinkage 'between live weight and
dressed weight is about one-half, the
cost of meat to the butcher is 9 and 10e.
The butchers claim that they have been
losing money during the last few
weeks, and that a raise of prices to the
consumer is necessary. fl
