I•e••••••••••,••• London, Aug. 21. ---"Come Aboard to join, stri" With these words the Prince of Mies, heir to the throne, inade kin forautl entry into his Afajesty's navy on the first day of tbe present month, in this eespect, na in every other, carrying out the forms and regulations pre- scribed for middlipnaer; joining their ship for the first tinia The Prince, while he will have to per- form the *lame duties as other midships men, and will have additional work to do, hie tutor being aboard to coach and instruet Min in all menner of subjects, is not likely to have the same rough work that fell, to his father When he was in the naiy. The present King first wen to sea on an auxiliary cruiser, -4 on which dins were used far more often than steam, and on wilieh there was kite of work to be none aloft. , The Prime obtains his first experierwe afloat aboard the Hinslustan„ not one of the newest, but still a modern bat- tleship. The Kin's regulatione provide that "When the Prince of Wee is embarked in any ship or vessel, his standard shall be ,hoisted at the main, and shall be saluted in the (same man- ner as the flags denoting the „presence of the Sovereign." Thie does net apply in the present ease. The. Prince will be treated as any other 'midshipman. He is not a coin- rniseioned officer, but subordinate to warrant °Mere s(guneers boatswains, 'carpenters and artificer engineers), and with them th,e future sovereign will live and move in thegun room of, his ship, IIe. will be. assigned to a watch and will be alloted a subdivielon of sea- men, for whose behavior, smartness and work he will be held responsible by the lieutenant in control of the subdivision. However, his most important work is the acquiring of nautical knowledge to which the greater part of his time tairst be given. AFRICA'S- 'WILD ANIMALS. Complaints are coming to the govern - merit from some of the South Afri-du protectorate, that the policy oS pre-, cit- ing and preserving wild animals is be- ing overdone. For some years the gt vs eminent authorities, fearing the exter- mination of these animals which have any commerciial value, have ;united, the number which individuals maY sluice and guarded against reckless daughter by system of licensing the hunters. Shoot- ing in the ,protectorates appears to be on the decline from the reports received by the Colonial Office. Elephante were the most valuable •.gaaae on. account of their ivory, but. un- der the licensing eystem it has hardly been worth while from a business stand- point for a man to go to the expense of killing the small number permitted. The s •Governor of Uganada makes serious com- • plaint of the elephant pest. "Owing to the rapidly decreasing num- ber of licenses which are being taken,out and the poneequent immunity of -the elepliantelromaittack," he Writes, "these animals;which have elweys been e source of -danger to the inhabitants and of damage to crops, nave become more dan- gerous and destructive, and they are acomiug bolder in „approaching inhabit- ed areas. Reports are constantly com- ing in from administrative officers, tele- graph officers and others of the destrue- time eatteed by their devasting habits. It is. possible that sooner or later ele- phante will have to be shot out, ,save in eneh portions of this protectorate as may be expressly set apart as reserves for them. At present there is no doubt that much hardship he inflicted on the etatiees; but the position will becalms more acute." FOREIGNERS ON BRITISH SHIPS. Forty-five thousand Chinese and Las - ear sailors are employed on British ships. During the past two years 10,- 000 Chinese sailors have been brought into this country and the numi ber n- creasea every year. These are the fig - urea published by the Seamen's Union. Havelock Wilson the head of the union, declares that British seamen -naust fight this Oriental competition. He does not believe in an appeal to Parliament, for many of the Chinese and practically all of the Lamers, are British subjects, a fact which makes legislation against • them impossible. His plan is to have the Labor unions combine to prevent any ship employing Oriental hands from. being loaded or discharged in the ports of the United Kingdom, On the part of the ship owners The segtunents are urged that Chinese sail- ors are more faithful, more amenable to discipline end—a point which the English sailormett resent bitterly—ard more efficient. That they will work for lower wages, and that their cost for food and ether necestities is below that of white sailors is unquestionable, but those are points upon which the owner, front motives of policy, put as little • _ stress as possible, MANCHURIAN LOAN.

BRITISH STRIKE HAS BEEN SHRED Lloyd -George's Plaxaccept- ed by Both Sides. ,Commission Will Settle All the Disputes. • Railways to be Allowed to Raise the Rates. LOntion, Aug, gteat wave of relief awept ever the country last night, when shortly after 11. o'dock, the announcement was made from the Board of Trade offices that the rail- road strike had been settled, mut that the men would return to work im- mediately. Telegrams were quieltly despatched to all hnportant railway towns bear- ing the infortnation, and crossed in transit meeeages to London describ- ing strike riots in Llanelly and windier town in the United Kingdom. • 'Most of the credit for the settle- ment appeare to rest upon the shoulderseof Mr. LleydGeorge, Chan- .oellor of the Exchequer, who, in hie statements to Parliament and in in- terviews' with managers and mete worked for conellietien when all others of the Interested parties seem- ed to have given it up. A joint committee of five members, composed of two representatives of the railway companies, two of the men, and it non-partisan Chairman, will be appointed on Tuesday to in- vestigate the workings of the con- ciliation act of 1907, which the men elaim is the root of all their griev- ances, This device overcomes the teen's objections to a Royal Conn miesion, which, they contend, always has been in practice a. synonynt for delay. So far as technical advantage in the tompromise goes it appears to be in the meree eavor, particularly as the managers coma to meet their re- presentatives, The official • statement concerning the agreement says the managers consented to this scheme in view .of certain representations made them by the Government, including A promise of legislation to penult of an increase in railway. rates. The men claim a victory for trrule unionism on the point of recognition of unions, which was ono of the most vital principles at stake. Messages were sent to 1,800 branch- es of the labor unions to -night, saying: "The joint committee has settled the strike. It is a victory for trades unionism. All men must return to work immediately." As a result of the settlement, the soldiers, who had been scattered at strategic reilroadpoints about the coma tr,y, will be withdrawn as fast as ar- rangements for transporting them can be made. There is no doubt that yesterday's affray nt Llandelly, Wales, where ttoops fired on a mob, killing two men and wounding two others, had much influence in ending the strike. The Liberal Government had almost its existence at stake because of the strike, as itdepends Amon the work- ing 014886 lei its power. The shoot- ing of citizens by soldiers occurs less often in the United Kingdom than in any other European country, and is particularly repugnant to all classes, The settlement was seethed at it conference between Mr. Lloyd -George, the Chancellor of the Exchemier, and the Exeeutivesi Of the Men's societies, At the conclusion of the conference the following official statement was is- sued: • "Acting on representations made to the railway companies by the Govern- ment, they to -day empowered Mr, Ciaughton and Sir Guy Geenet, Gen- eral Manager of the Midland Railroad, to confer on their behalf with repre- sentatives selected by the joint exe- cutives of the trades unions and rail- way employees with a view to disenes- ing with them the suggested terms of settlement &lifted by the Board of Trade. "There were ,present itt the confer- ence: G. IL Claughton, Direetor of the Ls & N. W. Railway, and Sir Guy Grand, en bebalf of the companies; James Henry Thomas, M. P., and Messrs, Bellamy,' Williams, For, Lowth and Charlton, on behalf of the men; and Mr, Lloyd -George, Sir IL L. Smith, and Mr. G. K. Askwith, on ba- bel; of the Board of Trade. • Mr. Ram, say MacDonald, M.P., also was present during the eenference. "Mr. ' Claughton stated that upon certain representations by the Govern- ment lie And Sir Guy armlet • had the authority of the railway com- paniea to meet the representatives of the men with a view to 'discussing ternis of an agreement. The tering having been diseussed and agreed to, Mr. Claughton and Sir Guy Genet detest that the reeommentletions of the committee would be loyally- fte- copied by the wrap:sties, even though they .were adverse to the companies' contentions, and should a settlenteitt be affected any trues of ill -feeling Which might have arisen, would certainly be effaehd." .

Judge Barron Succeeds in Settling Strike. Montreal, Aug, 20.—Jadge Barron, of Stratford, who as commissioner to ob. tain the reinstatement of the Grand Trunk conductors and trainmen. db. charged during the strike, has devoted a, great deal of time and trouble to this end, returned to Stratford last night, after holding a three daps' conference wlth Vice -President Fitzhugh, 'General Superintendent 13rewnlee and Mr. Crom- bie, assistant to President Hays, His efforts have been crowned with consid- erable success. Of the 222 men who were discharged in tne early spring and have not been reinstated, according to the agreement made, 91 are to receive their former po- sitions back -within two weeks. Twenty- two were reinstated, but have sinee been discharged for cause. Thirty of the men involved did not think it worth while to, appear ,before the commissioner and state their case. Seven* yardnuisters, who had no con- nection with the union, but nevertheless went out *ith thern, will not be rein - gated,. as it was beld that under the eireumstances they had no right to strike. Seven. more men eannot comply wiIli the tegalations laid down by the Hoard of 'Railway Commiesioners regard- ing ability to read and write, and are consequently not eligible. Four more were found guilty of the use of liquor by the jedge, and are left out of the rein.. statement.

Steamertarries Away Wel- land Canal Gates. St. Catharines, Aug, 20.— One of the most serious breaks in the history of the Welland Canal occurred at 1 o'clock this morning, when the steamer Key West carried three gates of Lock 21 away causing very great damage to the banks of the lower level and to the Grand Trunk Railway tunnel under the canal. Navigation wag immediately shut off, but Superintendent Weller put a large force to work, with the result that the damage, which formerly required a week or ten days to repair, was overcome by 9 o'clock, the regular Sunday night lock- ing hOurs, when navigation was resum- ed. The Key West, in charge of Capt. Es - ford, Was proceeding up the canal, light. Canal men say she was in e hurry to dear the locks before 6 o'cloek, when locking woula cease for Sunday, She missed the Xinmount and another boat some locks below the scene of the an - cadent. When she entered lock 21 her speed was quite brisk, with the result that she nosed right into the head -gates, which were opened etiffieiently to let the inrush of water from the whole up- per level. In the flood both headgates were torn frota their eockets and ears ried down almost to bock twenty. The steamer herself Was tarried down the canal with great forte, rebounding back and striking the coping of leek twenty. one with great force. Nothing could be done until the &Meal of a pontoon from Port Dalhoude, but after that ev- erything was deer sailing, just what the damage will be is impossible to *my, 144 4 6110r aisysigttiedb! far from $10,000 BEATTIE'S TRIAL.

He has been in the Air every day gime he started, and has never been compelled to land because of any emergency more seriope than the using up of his gaso- line, His daily record, not including to- day'e plans, together with the number of stops between the daily start and fins ish is: St. Louis to Chicago, two stops, 286 miles, 5 hours: 43 minutes, Mieage to Elkhart, Ind, no stops, 101 miles, 2 hours 16 minutes.

Swanville to Buffalo, no stops, 90 miles, 2 hours 25 minutes. Buffalo to Lyons, N. Y., no stops,. 104 miles, 2 hours and 11 minutes: One result of his flight, Atwood says, will be to encourage long distance fly- ing in plate of aviation meets, "Aviation Meets as they are managed now, will soon be a thing of the past," said Atwood. "They invite too many spectacular attempts -with fatal results. Man;ilight, if it is to be developed along the line of practical results, must be confined to simple flying It is more credit to eivilization that a man can fly acrocc the continent than that he can turn a flipflop In the air."
