Supreme Court Meeting.
Toronto, Mareh 0.—When the Supreme
' Court of Independent Order ,of Foresters
meets in June it will ratify an increase
in rates and a' re -scaling of .charges to
members dating prior to 1899 that will
nutterially offe-et the great bulk of the
200,00u members of the order. The new
members will be put on the setele of
chargee of the National Congress Fra-
ternal fable, which will be en the aver-
age seine inerease over the raise in rates
put itt force' by the 1. 0. F. in the year
1898, and that became operative in 1890.
But by far the most striking change
will he that affecting present charges
to the older members who came into
the order prior to 1898. Their does
will be re -scaled„ and in every in-
stance tliose .of older age will be ask.
ed to pay either in a lump sum, or in
another way, enough to bring them
up to date itt eemparieoa with what
the rates charged for at that. ago by
the order are now.
It was explained that many of the
old members who have been getting
insurance for a remaekebly low rate,
based ou -the scale in force before
1899, and even after that, are well
able to pay more than they are now
paying, while some etre not able to
increase their monthly dues. Those
who are not able will pay the old
rate, but for less insurance: That is
to say, the face value of their policy
will be materially .decretteed.
The mass oe old members will take it
es. a hardship that after paying for
years for insurance at a fixed ecale, they
hell be asked to pay a much larger
monthly aeseesment, but offidals of the
order saYeeuch a change is necessary to
keep the order in 'existence, and some
such step would be taken whether the
Government lia.d stepped in or not. ,
A great inauy of the older members
in poor finarecial circumstances would
have to. drop their insurance, if the
increase was contemplated without the
option or having their insurance re-
duced.

London, March 8.—There is a prole
aecordiug to The Daily Mail,
that the diamond monopoly will be
broken up through the non -renewal of
the contract, widen expires this. month,
between the Premier Diamond Mining
CoMpany and the Diamond. Syndicate,

both the Premier and the De :Beers
Companies. la case the con -teed is not

Premier Company against the DeBeers,
The Diamond Syndicate practically
coatrols the world's output, amounting
to, about 00,6'00,000 annually: .Early itt
the year there was a depression in the
diamond markets of the world, result-
ing from the financial situation in Am-
erica, and the money stringency in Eur-
ope. In order to maintain the price of
diamonds the Premier Company an-
uounced a einisiderable •reduetion in
their monthly output, and the Diamond
Syndicate also •caine to the support of
the market, deciding [hat there should
be no reduction in the price of stones:
It Was believed at that time that the

faulty .design that'the bridge fell. This
would look as if tile Phoenix Bridge Co.
would have to bear the expense; but as
the plans were approved by the Detain -
