face. The bridge and train caught
fire and the bridge and nine loaded
cars were totally destroyed. The
bridge was 250 feet long, and aea.rly
new. The oil burned for several hours
on the surface of the lake, and light-
ed up the conatry for miles around.

A despatela from Loudon says :—In
a speech delivered here on. Tuesday
night Mr. Arthur J. nalfour, First
Lord of the Treasury, (maim-
ed the reports of the fail-
ure of the negotiations of Bloem-
fontein between Sir Alfred Milner,
Governor of Cape Colony, and Presi-
dent Kruger, of the Transvaal. Ile
dentared that i1 was a matter on deep
regret and disappointment to the
Government. Nevertheless, he hoped
and believed that the controversies
\road be satisfactorily solved, because
all the Government asked or desired
was the elementary rights of eivi-
kination for their fellow -countrymen in
the Transvaal—rights whieh justice de-
manded and policy required, and -Melon
would be, he thought, to the first ia-
terest of the Republic, to •grant.
It was Great Britaia's duty to see
that those rights were uot trampled
repeatedly in the dust. No statesman
or individual in Great Britain desired
that any inroad be made on the indep-
penaence of the Republic. He believed
that a settlement could be reached
which would rightly preserve the in-
dependence of the Transvaal consist-
ently with justice to the British resi-
dents, want were giving so much of
their wealth to the 'Republic,.
Tile opinion of the wautry must soon
be declared on the subject, and he be-
lieved that that opinion would be un-
arninausly the same as he hed. stated.
In concluding his references to the
conference, Mr. Balfour said: "My
sanguine forecast of a successful is -
use out of the troubles is based on the
fact that painciples so obvious as the
elementary rights of civilization which
we denaand for our fellow-counirymen
musi commend themselves to the citi-
zens of the Transvaal, and I venture to
think that the good sense justice,
policy and wisdom of the feeders of
public opinion in the Transvaal will
make for some settlement which will
rightly preserve the independence of
the Transvaal."
A despatcla on Wednesday afternoon
from Sir Alfred Milner states that
President Kruger obstinately refused
all concessions tending towards a set-
tlement of the Transvaal difficulties.
Upon receiving this despatch Secretary
Chamberlain, Lord Selborne, and. oth-
ers held a consultation concerning the
failure of the negotiations, Which cre-
ates a serious situation.
Late in the day operators on the

A despetch from Montreal says
Special Constable Daignault, of the
Montreal Police Force, who returned
on Thursday from Laneaster, Ont.,
where he had been sent in connection
with the G.T.R. trackments strike, re-
ported to Chief Detective Carpenter an
incident that may thaow considerable
light on the daring robbery of the
Standard Bank at Bowmanville, Ont.,
on Monday, 131h May, when $10,000
was secured by the thieves. Constable
Daignault's story is that on reaching
Bainsville, the first station after Lan-
caster, he raet seven tramps, who act-
ed in a manner to arouae his suspicion.
The police officer Made friends with
them, and the whole party got off at
a small station, when they spent the
evening in drinking and playing cards,
The men finallanbecame very confiden-
tial with the policeman, ant1 in a dis-
cussion es to who was the richest of
the gang, one of the tramps pulled
out a big buneh of the Standard Bank
notes, and. then exhibited a small bag
containing $800 le gold.
" We're, perhaps, not so welt dress-
ed. as you are," was the remark to
Constable Daignault, " but we've got
the money all the same."
Daignault managed to take a note of
tan number 24,757 marked on one of
the Staadard Bank notes, and report-
ed alae case on his arrival here to Chief
Detective Carpenter, who'nis now
working on the clue.

A despatcli from Gat, Ona, says:—
.A shooking accident occurred on Thurs-

dale stallion, owrind by Mr. Andrew

Mr, Harvie, sr, went out to catch
him, and the 'horse ma,de for hire,
knocking him down, but jumped over

coming into the barn -yard next at-

Mr. Harvie took charge of the horse

utes elapsed before their retuen, they
were hortified at seeing the stallion
running around the barn -yard with the
old ,gentleman in his mouth, perfeetly
naked, his clothes being strewn about
the yard. Mr. Scutt picked up a stone
and. hit the horse on the head, whic.h
caused him to drop his now lifeless
owner. A decoy was used to entice
the horse towards the barn,' where he
immediately began to batter down the
door, and would soon have been in

Mr. Efarvie was terribly mutilated,

A NEW WAR BALLOON.
trite German Army to Try Count zeppelin's
Invent 11111..
Perhaps any problem of the mili-
tary airsnip may have been solved by
the invention of Count Zeppelin. At
any rate, the German army officials
think well enough of it to be plan-
ning to give it a trial on July 1.
Of course the problem is to get ma-
chinery at once strong enough to drive
a balloon and light enough to be car-
ried by it.
Count Zeppelin's lavention comprises
an aluminum cylinder filled with coal
gas and. hydrogen, a small engine
worked by tlae gas thus generated and
big aluminum fan propellers driven by
the engine.
It is not claimed. that a ballocia
equipped with the Zeppelin engine can
make laeadway against a strong wind.
It should be sent up only in gentle
land breezes. It is to be tried over
Lake Constance, the largest land-
locked body of water immediately avail-
able.
Count Zeppelin has been at work for
some years upon his invention. About
two years ago he was conduaing ex-
periments with a small balloon near
Berlin arnen the generating cylinder
burst. No one was injured on that oc-
casion, as the balloon was worked froin
the ground.
In the July experiment Count Zep-
pelin will be the only passenger, and
he will have no connection with the
ground. (
INDIANS DROWNED.

Redskins Were on the 1Tay to a Potlatch
When Two Boats Collided.
A despatch from Lerman, Alberta,
says :—Between 25 and 30 Indians, in -
eluding men, women, and children,
were drowned in the Lake of Clouds,
near the Canadian Pacific railway,
while crossing to the reservation to at-
tend a -potato/a They were travel-
ing in two long boats rudely manu-
factured of cariboo skins. The craft
winkled, and both vessels were rend-
ered useless, and the entire party was
lost.
A third vessel, bearing skins of deer,
bear, cariboo, mountain sheep and.
goats, and manned by four Indians,
reached the srmt as the last survivor
slipped from the capsized boat and dis-
appeared in the waters of the lake.
Dense clouds were resting over the
surface of the lake, and were respon-
sible for the accident.

They were in an open boat ten days,
with ao food or drink. They had chew-
ed. their shoes into shreds and eaten

TERRIBLE HARDSHIPS ON THE ED-

About a Hozon Prospectors Perish on

A despatch from Viotoria, B.C., says:
—On the steamer Danube, which ar-
rived early on Saturday morning, wete
29 men who had been stalled, all win-
ter on the Edmonton twill. They
told awfal stories of hard,ships, disas-
ter, and death in the northern wilder-
ness from drowning, scurvy, a nd star-
vation.
.1. M. Smith and J. W. Irving, two of
tne just returned miners, say many
men have found death on the Edrnon-
ton trail. Many are lying beneath the
waters of Great Slave lake, for ;tetanal
boats wnich started down that wind-
swept inland sea were swamped and
the woupants drowned.. •
A party of ten or twelve men have
doubtless perished in the snow-cover-
ed mountains in the vicinity of the Up-
per Liard post. A. large party of pros-
pectors started out in December from a
point twenty miles above Ford Liend
and two bundred west `of the McKenzie
river. Their destination was the Upper
Liard post.
NINETY DAYS ON THE TRAIL.
They were ninety days on the trail,
owing to the fact that they were en-
cumbered by heavy loads of baggage,
and the travelling was exceedingly
heavy. Finally they reached a point
on the Coles river, three miles feorn
Lower Liard post, and about one Mina
dred miles from their original destin-
ation.
It was on the divide of Hay moun-
tains were the tradegy, which involv-
ed about a dozen lives, is supposed to
have taken place. A second party, con-
sisting of the number indicated, had
Started °lit in the wake Of the first,
the hope that they would be able to
find their way by the trail beaten by
those ahead. They were too poor to en-
gage Indian guides.
When Hay Mountain pass was reach-
ed. the thickly fallen snow had al-
most obliterated. the track, and, know-
ing the strains in whiten they must
be, the first company despatched one
of their expert guides back to its re-
lief. After a vain effort to find the
men .the Indian was obliged to own
defeat, and toiled back through the
snow, in which he sank to his hips,
to rejoin the main party. Thil he
reached with difficulty, and not.
the slighest news has since been heard
of the men of the second party.
PERISHED IN THE SNOW. t
That they perished in the snow is
al most a certainty. They were lightly
provisioned, had no snowshoes, and up
to May 15 no tidings from thexn had
been received. Names of only five of
the party could be learned. They are
Lorne Hutton and "Jack" Payne, said
to be from Vancouver, and C. Dunn,
Taylor, and Leighton.
News is brought by Budd Cole, of
Minnesota, of the finding of the skele-
ton ons1VIDNeely, of Sault Ste. Marie.
Beside the skeleton was a diary. •The
last entry, made in January, 1898, read:
"My lianas and feet are frozen, and
I do not think 1 can stand the suffer-
ing much longer. I am helpless, and
my chum, Graham, with whom I have
had. words, talks of leaving me."
The cause of his death was apparent,
His chum had. probably fulfilled his
threat and. abandoned him. Unable to
get the necessary wood to keep up a
fire, the poor wretch had slowly frozen
to death.
The body of a Gerrnan, W. Zengler.
was found in a cabin on the trail, and
a skeleton was found under a tree with
a paper 'fastenedabove, reading:—
"Here the trail ends."
Several miners are stalled at Mud
river, Deese lake, and McDane creek.
They are suffering from scurvy. Sev-
eral are frostbitten and. likely to lose
limbs, and all are in need -of food.
Starvation is feared unless relief has
reached them before this.
CRUISER SENT 90R DREYFUS.
Military,leanit and Title Restored to Hint.
A despatch from Paris; says:—The
Cabinet Council on Sunday morning

Martinique, should proceed immediate-
ly and bring Dreyfus from the Isle of

The fact thatl Baron Ferdinand de
Rothschild died without issue suggests
that the house of Rothschild threatens
to dwindle into very smell numbers.
Th,e. foutder, Mayer Anselme, left at
his death in 1812 five sons, and jewisla
fan:Cies are proVerbially large, yet the
progeny of these five sons 10dayis far
from numerous, either in England or
on the continent. The founder of the
house bad little to do with England.
It was his Men Nathan, who came here
in 1800, who, laid, the foundation of the
fortunes of the English braneh, Baron
Nathan married a Cohen, but his eld-
est Soil, Lionel, married a daughter
of Baron AnSelre Etothsohzld end hie
eldest daughter a son of Baron An-
selm. Ltonelts son, the present Lord
Rothschild who succeeded a sonless
uncle in his baronetcy; married his
eausin, daughter of Baron Charles, of
tnankforty and, both Ina sisters also
married cousins. The intermarriage of
the family Mayaterheps help to explain
its not increasing and mialtiplyirig,
Dyspepsia arid indigestion„
common diseases, but hard to
cure with ordinary remedies,
yield readily to Manley's
Celery -Nerve Compound.
W, 11. Budkingham, 396 King St.
Host, Hamilton, Ont., says;—" I
was troubled with Dyspepsia and
Indigestion for a long tinie, and
could get no relief until I tried
Manley,s Celery -Nerve Coinpouncl,
which cured me, and I cannot
speak tao highly In its praise."
SPAIN'S COPIOUS SUNSHINE..
Spain has more sunshine than any
(Aber country in Europe. The yeara
ly average in Spain is 3,000 hours ; that
of Italy, 2,300; Germany, 1,700; Eng,
land, 1,400.
WOMEN 'UNKNOWN THERE.
There is a monastery at St. Honoaatt
on an island near Cannes, France,
which has existed since the fourth cen-
tury. During the fourteen cannuries
since it was built no woman has eritnici -
been allowed. to enter its walls. ,
ENGLAND'S COAL STOCK.
It is estimated that England's stoon
of coal will, last 200 years .longer, and
North America's 600 years. It is not
lIkely nowever, that these supplies
will ever be needed, an it is probable
that before many decades have passed
power Will be gained in other ways.,
