Crowd of Five Thousand Storms the Suffragettes' Platform. A despatch from London, Eng- land, says The suffragettes held meetings again on Sunday at Hyde Park and Wimbledon Common. They would have met the fate of the previous Sunday's meetings at the same places, when it required a strong body of police to escort theme to safety, but that on Sunday the authorities took precautions and had large bodies of mounted and foot ajolicemen in attendance. Even at that wild scenes ensued.. Five thousand persons assembled in the park and swarmed about the speak- ers' platform, and by a deafening din prevented any word of "Gen- eral" Drummond's speech from be- ing heard. The pressure of • the surging crowds towards the plat- form at length became so great that reinforcements were hastily summoned. Mrs. Drummond and her colleagues were rescued from their perilous position with some difficulty. At Wimbledon similar scenes were enacted. Scarcely a word uttered' by the speakers was audible, and they, too, had to be protected. , STOLE THIRTY THOUSAND. ]Harmer Ledgerk per of a Bank Gets Three Year Terni.

The business man, especially, iPe• needs food in the morning that -will ,o not overload the stomach, but give ar mental vigor for the day. iod-i Much depends on the start a man gets each day, as to how he may expect to accomplish the work on hand. He can't be alert, with a heavy, fried -meat -and -potatoes breakfast requiring a lot of vital energy in di- gesting it. A Western business man tried to find some food combination that would not overload the stomach in the morning, but that would pro- duce energy. He writes "For years I was unable to find a breakfast food that had nutrition enough to sustain a business man without overloading his stomach, causing indigestion and kindred ailments. • "Being a very busy and also a very nervous man, I decided to give up breakfast altogether. But luckily I was induced to' try Grape - Nuts. "Since that morning I have been a new man ; can work withput tir- ing, my head is clear and my nerves strong and quiet. "I find four teaspoonfuls of Grape -Nuts with one of sugar and a small quantity of cold milk, is delicious as the cereal part of the, morning meal, and invigorates me dor the day's business."

Explosion Near Baltimore Caused Buildings to Rock.. A despatch from Baltimore, Maryland, says : Fifty lives were probably lost and forty persons hurt when the British ship Alum Chine, loading with dynamite for the Panama Canal, blew up off Hawkin's Point on Friday morn- ing: A barge with 340 tons of dy- namite alongside also blew up. It is believed fire caused the explo- sion. At least four of the crews of the vessels were killed; others leaped into the water. Three of the crew of the U. S. collier Jason, 700 feet away, were killed and ten fatally hurt, the ship's upper works being swept away. Six of the crew of the tug Atlantic lying alongside the Alum Chine were killed and the tug practically destroyed. Forty stevedores are unaccounted for. If they were on the steamer it is con- sidered certain that they perished. The tremendous explosion shook the country formiles around. Win- dows were broken and chimneys knocked off houses a dozen or more miles from the scene of the disas- ter. At Sparrows Pointa school house was partly destroyed and sev- eral children hurt. I3altiniore was shaken as if by an earthquake and tall buildings in the centre of the city were rocked by the shock. FRANCE AND GERMANY. Increase the Place Footing of Their 'Armies. • 4 S Turkish Garrison CAPTURE JANINA of 32,000 Men Surrender to the Greek Army A despatch from Athens, Greece, says: The Turkish fortress sof Ja- nine, the key to the possession of the ;province of Epirus, with its garrison of 32,000 men, surrendered. to the Greek army on Thursday, af- ter a defence which forme one of the most brilliant episodes of the Bal- kan war. The surrender was pre- ceded by a, fierce bombardment lasting without cessation for two nights ''' Every available gun, in- cludili a number of heavy Howitz ere, lent by the Servian artillery, was brought to hear by the Greeks on th0 forts defending the beleeg- uered"f' city. No fewer than 30,000 shells were ,fired by the Greek guns during the first 'day's cannonade. Gradually the Turkish batteries at Bizani, Manoliar, Sakni, and else- where 'were silenced under the sus- tained fire of projectiles. The Greek commanders by a feint led the Turks to believe that their at- tack, would be made from the right, and as soon as the attention of the defenders had been distracted the Greeks hurled large bodies of in- fantry on to the Turkish left. The Ottoman troops, utterly surprised, fell back in disorder. • EXTENDING THE T. & N. 0. A.*Survey'Party Will Leave Coch- rane on March 20. A despatch from Cochrane says: That there is a determination to proceed with the work of extending the T. & N. 0. Railway to James The batteries on the heights of Bizani, which had been the main stay of the defence, were unable to stand the pelting of the shells, and had been reduced to complete sil- ence by 11 o'clock on Wednesday morning. The Greeks pushed their forward movement during the, after- noon, and occupied the Turkish batteries in Sakni and Elas Hills, capturing all theguns and one hundred and , ten artillerymen. Then the Greek battalions gradual- ly deployed on 'to the plain in front of the city itself; and the Turkish flight became general despite all the efforts of the Ottoman officers to rally their men. • Whole detach- ments succumbed to the panic and joined in a mad race into the city with the Greek troops in. hot pur- suit almost to the walls. With all the defending batteries in the hands of the Greeks, and the Hellenic soldiers at the gates of Janina, Essaed Pasha, the Turkish commander, at 6 o'clock on Thurs- day morning sent messengers under a flag of truce to Crown Prince Constantine of Greece, • announcing the surrender of the city and all the troops under his command. elaga Bank.
