London, Feb: 19.—The hundred and Team sty emigrants who have been afforded a new start in life by the Rothschilds enriggiati tai echenie have bid. adieu to their old homes in Tottenham. 'There are no `wasters," no `unemployables," retheng them. Eery man's life and character have undergone the strictest investigation. Everyone leas a •situation and home ready for him whenever he. reaches his destination, previously ar- • ranged for. As for his fare, it will be advanced by the Rothschilds fund. Each man signs an agreement to repay the amount in monthly instalments, am- ounting to 30 per cent. of the wages received in Canada.

In the case of a young .man who bas been in the habit of supporting his parents, an agreement is secured front. him to con- tinue contributing at least one pound :per month, as far as possible. Only one of a family will be placed in a locality in Canada. A small amount of money has been sent to whatever point tete emigrant is going, for his use on arrival there. Baron Rothschild spoke cheering words. "It is through men like you that Canada, Inas become great," said he. The 'emigrants had a most enthusiastic send- , off.

UP TO MINERS. MINE OPERATORS WILL NOT AC- CEDE TO WORKERS' DEMANDS, Eight -Hour Day and Recognition of Unions Will Not Be Granted—Will Be Given. Opportunity to Beat a GracefulRetrent. New York, Feb. 19.—The coal mine operators already have come to a full understanding as to the general policy they will pursue at the conference with the committee of the Mine Workers' Union, 1"o be held on Thursday. The position of the Presidents of the coal - carrying roads is, as one President put it, each that "the miners will have to strike or back down." "We do not propose," he said, "to accede to their demands in any way, and do not see what else they can do but strike. They are coming ino this con- ference to demand an eight-hour day and recognition of the unions, besides other things. The two main points have been already decided by the anthracite ,strike commission, and have been ad- hered to rigorously. I wish the leaders would understand that these demands will not be inet. We shall give them every opportunity to hack down graceful- ly. It is our sincere hope that there will be no rupture." REVIVAL CIAZL. TORONTO MAN TOO STRONGLY IM- PRESSED BY EVANGELISTS.

She seems pretty and pure, but ehe is going just the same as the rest.", Forsome time he continued until his utterance grew so thick and fast that no person could understand him.

London, Feb. 19.—Wm. O'Brien, the Irish member of Parliament, to -day said fa peaceful revolution is going on in Ireland. The policy of conciliation, he said, is now almost universally ac- cepted by the Nationalists, including the Orange democracy. The change had not attracted much attention in England, but everyone in Ireland knew the change had taken place. The recent victory in 'Vest Belfast, Mr. O'Brien said, was won only through .the assist ante of Protestant workmen and the growing alliance beteveen th-e National- ists and Unionists of Ireland is acknowl- edged not only by John Redmond, but by those who a few months ago couecren- tionely 'opposed the policy of concilia- tion. Mr. O'Brien said the new attitude of the Nationalists would de much to re- move friction and facilitate the now Government enormously in dealing with the Irish question. THE NONCONFORMIST M. P'S. a London, Feb. 10.—There are 170 Non- conformists in the new Parliament of whoa n 73 have won 'seats from the Con- servatives. In the last Parliament there were only 63 Nonconformists, and the present representation of the free churches is the. largest in history. These fib res (according to The Christian World.), do not include the Scotish Pres- byterians. The Congregationalist M. P.'s number 66,,the Wesleyans 36, Baptists 18, Uni- tarians 10, Society of l3riends• 8, .Welsh Calvinistic Methodists 8.

Thyra, Farewell: Farewell till we meet again."—In- scription on wreath which lies by the coffin of the dead ruler of Denmark in Copenhagen Church. 4e-gehe wweewV wV7*vewvv eehf Copenhagen despatch: In contrast with the extreme simplicity of the death chamber at the Amalienborg Palace, the body of Ring Christian lies in State to- night in the Slotskirke, surrounded by the impressive majesty befitting a king. On the casket is no' helmit of a dashifig cavalry officer, souvenir of a youthful soldier, but the royal insignia, the crown and the sceptre and the purple robe, outward symbols of monarchy. Again, in contrast with the family group, which has hitherto gathered in the Gatr- tenshaal, was a never -ceasing stream of black-garibed crowds awaiting in: line for over a mile outside the church, re- presenting all classes of Denmark, pass- ing the coffin to pay the last tribute to the dead sovereign. The coffin lies on a white catafalque, at the head of which, turned towards the crape -hung ',thee, reposes the crown of Denmark, the jewels of which are entwined with a magnificent spray of Magna •Charts roses. A purple man- tle embroidered with crowns and trim- med with ermine forms a pall sweeping to the ground, but drawn back to show the white cross of Danneborg and the na- tional flag covering the coffin. At the foot of the coffin are the sword of State and the sceptre, crossed and .surrounded, tier on tier, by some half -hundred sil- ver wreaths on white satin tabourets. Facing the coffin head stand. seven high naval and military officers in full uni- form, with black wands, and six others with hatberds hung with crape, guard the dead monarch on either side. At the base of the platform stands one of the King's personal adjutants, with the great silver lions, comprising the arms of Denmark, representing the Sound and the Great and Little Belts, which haveve been used at anointments .and funerals of Danish kings since 1070. Almost the entire foreground of the ebapel is carpteteil`t;'ith wreaths and floral trophies, and. the walls are lined with palms and other tributes, which are said to number two thousand. At each corner of the catafalque massive silver candelabra throw. a yel- low light, which is reflected from the diaauonds of the insignia. A Simple Procession. The removal of the body from the Amalienborg Palace this morning was guarded with the utmost secrecy, the late King's wish having been to avoid all ceremony. Even the sentries out- side the palace were as ignorant con- cerning the arrangements as the pa- tient knot of persons who had waited throughout the bitter cold night to catch the first glimpse of the coffin of their King. As the clock rang out the hour from the Crown Prince's palace, the old wooden gates of Amalienborg swung on their hinges, and the guards, with blue tunics and white sword -belts and shakos, turend out and stood at present while the hearse, drawn by two horses with plain black trappings, passed out through and crossed the square, follow- ed by Princess and Prince Waldemar and Crown Prince Christian and their suites, all on foot. The progress through the thinly -lighted street of the sleeping city was ,one of the most touching incidents and cireumstances attending King Chris- tian's death. The procession chose the less -frequented route, and passed down narrow streets, but was swelled by work- men who were on their way to their daily toil, but turned aside with their bags of tools and, bareheaded, followed until the Christiaiiborg Church was reached. Crowds visited the Slotskirke to -day, but perfect order was preserved. Thou- sands brought flowers, chiefly white tulips, which were deposited around the coffin, forming a high bank. A GOED MINE. SEAMS OF SOLID GOLD THREE INCHES THICK. Wonderful Samples From the Laurentian Mine at Dinonvic, Algoma, Shown by Mr. Blum at Winnipeg—One of World's Greatest Gold Mines. 'Winnipeg, Feb. 10.: Anthony Blum, proprietor of the Laurentian Mine, at Dinorwic, Ont., is in . the city with samples of the ore from that famous find, which indicate that the property is one of the richest strikes ever made in America, if not in the world. From observations mac, lir, Blum states that the rich ore body which he has found is known in mining parlance as "shim- ney," or scroll deposit of extremely rich rock, lying in a large deposit of low- grade rock. This formation is common to all mining properties. The rich streak is two inches in width, and in places carries seams of solid gold three inches in .thi.eknesd.; It consists of a A cyanide plant will be necessary to treat the mine. HELP FOR INDIANS. LORD STRATHCONA IS KIND TO RED BROTHERS IN LONDON. Were Stranded and Can Now Come Home—American Horse Remains to Marry a Dutch Lady, Who Took a Fancy to Him. London, Feb. 19.—Lord Strathcona to- day assisted seventeen Canadian Indians to return to Canada. A number were from the Caughnawaga reserve, near Montreal. Others were from the Gar- den River reserve, near the Soo: They were brought over some months ago for commercial purposes.

Paris, Feb. 19.—The Hamburg -Ameri- can Steamship Company announces the installation of a new chair to prevent seasickness. says the Paris Herald. The apparatus is very simple, and consists only of a small electric motor, whieli keeps the seats of specially made chairs in constant motion. Passengers who are liable to seasick- ness take their places on the chairs, and experience a similar feeling to that of driving in a motor car, It is claimed for the chair that the up and down vibratory movement renders the pitching, heaving, and rolling of a vessel less perceptible, as the lengthy downward motions of the ship became neutralized by the rapid succession of vi- brations imparted by the chair. -o DETROIT TUNNEL. The Canada Southern's Application to Parliament. Ottawa despatch: The Canada South- ern Railway Company to -day applied to the Railway Commission for authority to expropriate certain lands required for new terminals in view of the tunnel be- ing built under the Detrtoit River at Windsor, and for the right to divert cer- tain streets, one being Macdougall street, under which it is proposed to build a subway, and another the Marais road, the closing up of which is contemplated. The improvements contemplated by the railway eompiny will amount to be - tween four and five million dollars. The tubes, through which trains will run either way at the same time, will be laid in specially prepared trenches, and will be lighted by electricity. The old yards of the Canada Southern will be moved back for about a utile and a half. Hon. R. F. Sutherland represented some thirty property. owners at the hearing of the application: AN ALPINE HEROINE. Carries Her Wounded Brother 6,000 Feet Down Mountain, Geneva, Feb. 19: --Anna Kurbil, aged 20, is the heroine of the Village of Scarf,. in the Canton des Orisons. Anna's bro. ther, Carl, is a chamois hunter, and on Saturday he started to hunt chamois. When he did not return at night lois sis- ter became alarmed, and at daybreak she started in search of him. After climbing 6,000 feet, Anna found her bro- ther's trail and followed it to a ledge where he lay unconscious with a broken thigh, the result of a fall. The sister made a splint of her alpen- stock; spliced his broken leg, and car- ried her brother down into the valley on her back. ' SICILIAN COUPLE UNITED AT MONTREAL JAIL. Girl's Parents Opposed the Marriage, and the Bridegroom Went to Their Home Armed and Threatened Them, for Which He is Now Under'Sentence. Montreal, Feb. 10.—After .a courtship that ran through extreme vicissitudes Camillo l;,ngillo and Maria Acelo net berore an improvised altar at the jail this•; morning and were happily joined to- gether in the bonds of matrimony. These two children of sunny Italy carried on their courtship quietly until the ill -will of the girl's parents having apparently been aroused, the lover in true Sicilian fashion, forcibly presented his claims and carried the lady off with him. Ile then went back to the home of his prospective parents -in -laid, armed with a revolver and bowie knife, both of which he flourished in so threatening a manner that he was arrested, found guilty of atempted. murder and sent to jail for six months. Having satisfied the law to that extent, a formai plea was made to the court for permission to marry the girl, and as there was no objection on either side, except that of the parents; the court decided that the course of true love in this instance should not be further obstructed. However, delay was caused by some unsympathetic person lodging the com- plaint that Rugillo already had a wife in Italy, and that if he should marry again, a charge of bigamy would be laid against him. The accusation was found to be false ,so the ceremony was perform- ed in due course. After the term of sic months' imprisonment had expired Rugillo will have to give a bond to keep fthe peace for another six months, or re- main in jail during that period. Meantime, however, efforts are being made to secure his release at once in order that he may enter upon the new life that has opened to him. NATIVE WARNINGS. KAFFIRS MAY YET CAUSE TROUBLE IN NATAL. After the Gathering of Crops They May Institute a Massacre of Whites and Blacks Immediate Vigorous Action of Government Needed. London, Feb. 19.—The Johannesburg correspondent of the Times cables: `T have just returned from Natal, where has telegrams ofpressi e the censorship le made it difficlt to m up the situation adequately. The latest official bulletins describe everything `as quiet; but such a statement gives a wholly erroneous idea of the condition of things. The Byerne- town incident, however local in its im- mediate effects, is an unmistakable symptom of the native ,feeling. Un all sides are warnings from friendly na- tives that trouble is coming, although it is generally agreed that the Kaffirs have no wish to try conclusions with She whites before April or May, when the crops will have been gathered." "I do not view the Kaffir rising with mane alarm, but, however local it may be, it always implies the same thing— the massacre of whites at the beginning and the butchery of blacks at the end. It is the duty of the Government to avoid both, and niy plea for vigorous action at the present juncture is due to my desire to save the lives of both whites and blacks." OLD, BUT GROWING FAST. Philadelphia Man, Aged 5o, Grows Six Inches in Year.
