The Maharajah of Jaipur's
Thirty Tons of Baggage.
PLANETS WERE PROPITIOUS.
London, Aug. 24. -One of the most
pecturesque sights in conneetion meth
the coronatIon was witnessed Friday
at Dover, when the Maharajah, of
Jaipur, tho snost Important corona-
tion guest from India, embarked on
Ms return jaurney. The eilaharajab
LS a most ecrupulous observer of his
Oath. He never undertakes a :ouruey
until the State Astrologer has as-
certanied if the planets are pro-
pitious.
Thursday was the day originally
sett:tee for las departure, and the
planets ruled that Thursday was the
right day for the Maharajah to
start, but at the last moment las
London engagements interfered to
that his departure had to be matte
by a deputy, Dhaupat Pat Bahadur,
the Maharajah's director of trans-
ports, geeing to Dover. There tee
State Astrologer decided that tile
journey from London to Dover had
sufliziontly proptliated the plasiets,
and Bahadur awaited his Lord's ar-
rival there. The Maharajah arrived
punctually at 11.30 o'clock with 80
tone of personal baggage and 150
members of hes suite, and imme-
diately proceeded to the captain's
bridge.
The Mabarajah perzonally supeem-
tended the embarkation of his bag-
gage, will/eh was divided into two
classes, secular and religious. The
porters and a boat's crow were al-
lowed to help handle the former, but
none except the members of Ms own
suite was permitted to touch the
latter. The most timpoetant item in
the religious collection were the
Maharajah's faintly god, which was
packed in a large wooden box mark-
ed with strange signs in Hindustani
and "with care" in English, and half
a dozen verssele resembling huge can-
teens placed in two zinc tanks and
requiring four Oren each to earry
them, These contained the sacred
Water of the Ganges.
The removal of the family god was
the occasion or a religious ceremony.
The high priest in full vestments
walked in front mattering pra.yere,
'while four Hindoos carried the ease,
which was placed below and sur-
rounded by a personal escort.
Tho secular baggage included a
strange medley of artielos purchased
in London, such as several of the
meat modern rifles, silver-plated har-
ness, a tricycle, tt lumber of chit-
thenns mechanical toys, like a horse
bloyele, a clockwork engine, and
jumping jacks.

Toronto, Aug. 25. -Clayton gow-

wer a charge of stealing about $600
in cash belonging to the proprietor
of the Pon:Liao Hotel there, calue

cer, who traced him to Toronto, and
las present evbereabouts are un-

Howard was employed in, the Pon-
tiac Ilotel ini the capacity of book-
keeper, and tts such handled the cash.
Island Park is a beautilul summer
resort on the St. Lawrence River,
tied is a favorite place for Americans
to visit. On Friday the hotel ran
short of small bills, and Howard was
sent out to the nearest bank to cash

that he seized the opportunity to
snake off with the proceeds of the
cheque, and, in order to gain time,
telephoned to the hotel that he In-

ON FAST ATLANTIC. SERVICE,
elontreel, Aug". 24. -Mr. Charles M.
Hays, Second Vice-Presideut and
General Manager of the Grand Trunk
Railway, returned thie morning, fcom
England. With regard to the Atlan-
tic steamship service, Mr. Hays said
he ele not know muelt more than
waht as In the papers. Tenders had
been called for and :mut in, but he
had not heard that anything was
settled. Although he diel not express-
ly say so, 'the impression Ur. Hays
conveyed was titat he was not in
favor of eubeidizing a fast Atlantic
passenger serieen He admitted that
Lt would be a great advertisement,
and added that we miget get 'any
speed and any service if we pale en-
ough; but would that bo bueissess?
What was wanted was to deflect the
travel svirlch now goes from Canada
and tire Weetern States by way of
Now York. Could that be done? Mon-
treal is no worse off than Boston,
Plenadelphia, Newport News or any
other port on tho Norte American
coast. New York, by reason of ets
size, wealth, railway and water con-
nect:ons and businese interests gen-
erally, s predominant and can sup-
port three or four ferst-class fail-
ings each week. We have only one,
consequently mails and pamengers In
a hurry go whore they can soonest
reaoli a ship. He himself had sailed
from here On the Parisian because
be was not in a 'leery, and thor-
ournMy enjiyect the nip down the St.
Lawrence, but he notical that when-
ever a man was in a hurry he went
by way of New Yerk, owing to the
frequency of tho gall ings. This handi-
cap could only be overcome by at
least as many fallings. This would
entail tame times the number of
ships mentioned as adequate for a
weekly service.
The Oost of Speed.
Whether it was phySically possible
to compete in speed he could not say,
as he was not a shipping man, but
he was -tole that it was itupossinie to
exceed seventeen knots above Quebec,
and impractleable to average 23
knots tnrough the Gulf. Coining over
on the Lamania, they were one day 42
miles behind. the Philextelphia, and the
next day e7 miles ahead. To gain this
eatra 89 miles, the captain, ce the
Lucania informed Mm, meant the ex-
penditure of aoo tons of coal extra
or a cost of over $1,000. This showed
the tremendoue cost of each extra
knelt ht speed. Still, he did not see how
the Government could overlook Mont-
real me the terminus owing to its rail-
way, water, hotel and other facilities,
and its great business interests. Alter
all, it was business wale's; attracted
ships, and not -vice versa. ,
'Well, then, there is no ram in offer-
ing a subsidy.
"I would slot put it in that way,"
replied Mr. Hays, and he went on to
point out that these fast vessels
carried little freight, about 1,500
or 2000,tons of high class perish-
able geode. Reeding general
freight he said that many vessels had
gone oat of Montreal this year only
partly loaded. That condition of
affairs, owing largely to the fail-
ure of the corn crop In the United
Staters, led to the formation of
the Morgan combine, which remov-
ed ships from routes wbere they
were not required. Ships would aa -
ways frequent the $e. Lawrence,
and the more freight offering the
more would be their 'number. He
was heartily la accord. with Mr.
Tarte's speeches in favor of ,devel-
oping our waterways and retaining
our own intend trade. He regretted
to sen every year millions of bugh-
els of Canadian grain going out
through the United States owing
to the scarcity of Canadian bot-
toms on the lakes, instead Of help-
ing to build up Midland, Owen Sound,
Collingwood and other Canadian
porta 16
Tit e C, P. O. Tender,
This was all with regard to the
general question, but with regard
to the C. P. R., Mr. Haye said It
was obvious that the Government
must carefully safeguard the right
of every other railway, including
its own, the Intereolonial. AsIcle
from any question of preference or
hindrance In traffic, tho Grand
Trunk is ono of the heaviest tax-
payers, if not the heaviest, in the
country, ansi is, therefore, eepeci-
ally entitlea to bo consitleeett So
far as a fast passenger service is
concerned, tho cardinal point is its
frequency, as already explained.

As there were no traitors, among

trustworthy revciations of lett igue

ere of ex -President Kruger, Dr.

Inevitable, however' that soldiers
who bore the bruntof the prolonged
conflict thouicl distrust negotiators
like Dr. Leyds, wee promiteed con-

Vienna, Aug. 28. -The Fremden-
Matt ,Io.tlay publishes an interview
Iva's an Australian who travelled
from South Africa to England on
the steamer, with the Boer Generals
Botha, DoWet and Deiarey. The Aus-
toffee is credited with saying thee,
in the course of a conversation, Gen-
eral Botha said to him :
"It is probable that Britain has
no need to fear further trouble from
tho Boers, but the civilization of
South Africa is threatened by the
Kelvins. Britain armed these savage,
brave, but untrustworthy tribes to
fight for her; now the war is ended
he Karat's have not returned their
arms, but have retreated with them
to inaccessible places In the nsoun-
-tains, where they are reported to be
engaged in daily shooting exercises
and preparation for War. Unless the
British authorities display the
greatest energy, the Kettles are
likely to cause great trouble."
Referring to political matters the
Frenadenblatt says General Botha
told its informant Urea Britain's
best course would be to grant the
Boers an inclepenilent Parliament;
that this was the only possible

LONDON CHEERS THE SHAH
Persia's Ruler Has Made
Himself Popular Favorite.
PRESERVES ORIENTAL CALM
London, Aug. 24, -The visit of the
Shah of Peesia, to London, whica
will end to -morrow, has been In
one sense a disappointment. He does
not display the delightful but often
embarrassing unconventionality
ivith which, his late father on les
'nye visits took London by storm.
The present Shah is a man of
coneldera,ble eausation, °yen from
the western standpoint. Ito has not
offered, as his tattier on more than
one occasion did, to purthase even
one of his charming hostesses from
their husbands, although he admir-
ed and numlt praised the London po-
licemen to an extent to express a
desire to buy a few of them.
Nevertheless, the Sisals was estab-
lished from the first as a popular
favorite. He is received with cheers
whenever he appears; at a place of
public amusement, which even Gen.
DelVet or Lord Kitchener would
not complain of. These demonstrao
tione be receives, as he dorm eearly
all of the attempts to entertain
him, with the impassivity fitting to
a despot whose titles are the King
of Kings, altadoev. of God, Centre of
the Universe the Well of Science,
the Footpads of Heaven, the Sub-
lime Sovereign whose standard is
the sun and whose splendor is that
of the firmament, and the Monarch
of Armies numerous as tire stars,
etc.
Yet, every now and again, he Is
unable to preserve his Oriental
calm. A troupe of performing dogs
was the first thing able to betray
him into more than a smile, and a
eouplo of Frenth clowns provoked
a hearty laugh.
On the majority of occasions; the
Shali appears more simply clad than
some of his suite but several times
is
he has displayed magnificence indi-
cating the possession of greater
wealth in precious stones than any
other monarch. On.ae a gentleman
who is an expert in these matters,
after examining the Sbah closely,
said if he were put up at auetion at
Cliristie's as he stood he would
fetch at the lowest calculation
£750,000 for tho jewels that he was
wearing.
Nothiug seems: to nave pleased or
impressed the Shah more than his
visit to the King- at Cowes. The ruin-
tary pomp of the reception, and the
royal saletesi fired by tho warships,
which were dressed in his honor,
evidently pleased him, while the King
and Queen, on the royal yacht, .ef-
fected a complete conquest of the
Shah, tvlio was undieguisally taken
by the King's reception.
All the onlookers remarked on this
point partionlarly. The correspondent
of the Times, in describing the
leave-takine, says the Shah appeared
almost unwilling to go. King Ed-
ward and liimself shook hands and
saluted again and again, but still he
lingered, talking almost eagerly, and
certainly with far more animation
than has been seen during a recep-
tion of the Shah on any other occa-
sion,
On the return journey to London
the Shah, a few miles outside of
Portsmouth, stopped the train, cona-
pleasing that it was going over
twenty-five miles an hour, which le
the highest speed he will travel on
land. When he crossed the Mennei
he only allowed a crack steamer to
go at the rate of twelve knots an
bour. This dislike of his to speed Is
not due to nervousness, but to the
fact that high speed causes a feeling
of nausea.
