April 2. -Gold (brecks--i real ones -may be the means of re. storing the ancient fame of Golconda, near Hyderabad, in Southern India, once known ore the world over for its gold mines, but now a decayed city. The natural pits from 'which, many centuries ago, the precious metal was extracted have in course of time filled up With water. A contractor recently obtained permission to make bricks near the place, and ten kilns were erected. The lied finished bricks aroused curiosity by their yellowish tint, and analyseproved that they contained gold dust. On the basis of the yield of the sample bricks, the ten kilne will aggregate in weight about 12,867 pounces of gold, worth over $50,000,-- 000.

WAS 1 FAILURE The London Suffragette Attempt to ' Evasle Census Takers Now Said to Have Been a Complete Failure in London. London, April 3. -What claims the London suffragettes may make as to the succese of their efforts to defy the law and alien the census may be left to the imagination. In the iudgment, however, of quite inreartial :heavers of the scenes which took niece in the laat /rains of Sunday night and early hours of this inorning nething could havebeen more futile than the Trafalgar Square and the Aldwych demonstrations. Furthermore, the authorities took quick steps to insure that the chief re- quirements, at least, of the census be fulfilled and at all gatherings enumer- ators were present counting heads, Both the Trafalgar Square and Aid- -ivy& gatherings were declared to be con- vincing demonstrations of suffragette mismanagement. Partieularly was this the crisp at the latter place' where at 2 ann. a crowd of about 600people, the great majority of them men and boys, were etruggling to gain admittance to the elsatingerink which Mr& Pankhurst and her assistants had hired. The suf- fragette organizers and their male help- ers were powerless to reditee the con- fusion und preserve a semblanee of order and the police had to be appealed to. ea, - :tde.drid, April 3. ---The Canalejae Min- istry as reorganized Was gazetted to- day.

London, A.pril 2, -The threatened strike of the Seffragettes against the census enumerators materialized ba many places in Great Britain thee morning, when the -work of the erne mem:tore began. Many quit their aom.es so as not to be counted, and assembled in halls and. other places. The first rallying point in London Was in Tree. falgar Square where they hegen gatla ering before Midnight. Soon a big crowd was on hand, mostly made up of males who had flocked to the scene in the hope of seeing some excitement. A pretty strbng force of police was there, too, but they did not attempt to inter- fere with the demonstrators. The whole thing was a very impressive perform. awe, and to liven things up a bit, a number of youths started to inject life into the prodeedings by jeering the wo. men, Then they linked arms and rush• ed amoug the varioue groups of Suffra- gettes and their sympathizers. As the row Inez -weed the police took a hand and cleared the square without much difficulty. The woixien went to a skating rink a half mile away. They bad hired it in advance, and admission was by ticket. A number of young men' ap- parently medical students, triedto rush dhe entrance, and a desperate struggle ensued. Men and. women were mixed up in the fray, and no respect was shown either to individuals or sex. A tussle took place for the pos. session of the doorway, but the mem. bers of the Mena Woman Suffrage League, who were numerously repre. stinted in the crowd, saved the day. They repulsed the disturbers, but the police gave them no assistance. The members of the force looked idly on while the straggle was in progress, and seemed to enjoy the spectacle. When the wornen finally made their way into the rink they found the at- tendance was not nearly up to mime- tations. Inside the hall they were extremely orderly. They made speech- eseesang songs and listened to ttwomen'e march. They plannea to spend the entire night -in the hall and go to a friendly restaurant for breakfast.

New York, April 3. -The opinions of university • authorities in the United States are being sought by the backers of the new British &theme for the revi- sion of the calendar. "It would be of the greatest toxtvenience in many ways," says Professor Harold Jacoby, of Colune bin *University, in A statement on the subject, "A single ealelidar would serve for a life thne and after a few years of prac- tice with it you Would become so accus- tomed to it that you voted hardly need to refer to the printed form. The day on which the first of each month fell would soon be unconsciously memorized. "But there is also a vital objection. The odd day, which is to lee called New Year's Day, really means that the Sun- days on either side would be eight days apart. This would involve a, violation of the fourth commandment, and you veould find the churches against it.
