MESSINA IN SAD PLIGIIT EARTHQUAKE DEBRIS NOT YET CLEARED AWAY. The Filth is .appalling-I.:tile Ilas Been Done iu the Way of Erecting Shelters. A London Daily Mail correspon- dent, at Messina, itaiy, says that the present state of atossuna, more than threw months atter tae earth- quake, is nu better than in tho days immediately following the catastrophe. No arrangements have yet been made to clear away the debris. The sea front, only, is available for traffic, and even that is two-thirds full of rubbish exca- vated from ruined houses and stacked 20 feet high. The steam tramway running along the sea front, extending forty utiles along the north coast and twenty miles southward, and connecting Mes- sina with the villagea, would have rendered vast assistance to the populace and laborers in the work of clearance, but is not available, nor are there prospects of an early resumption of the service, since the municipalities have no energy and no funds to pay the arrears duo to the tramway company. It is therefore forced to await tbo company's decision regarding tho project to electrify the service. SHELTERS FEW AND POOR. Exceedingly little has been done in the work of erecting shelters. Most of the rough huts existing have ben built by inhabitants who had to buy their lumber and pay for the building. 'Their is no sani- tation whatever. Neither is there any sanitary inspection or tho re- moval of filth accumulating daily, almost hourly, among the huts. There are no arrangements for the removal or destruction of mattres- ses and furniture soaked with put- rid matter from the dead and ex- tracted from ruins. These articles aro loft lying in the sun among the wreckage while millions upon mil- lions of largo buzzing flies swarm over them, carrying deadly germs broadcast among the populace and depositing the seeds of pestilence on the food sold in the huts which are used as shops. Among this food is much which has ueen re- covered from the ruins of shops in the town, which were under blocks of flats. BUSINESS NOT ENCOURAGED. There is practically no illumina- tion at night in the ruined city nor any possibility of transit. No as- sistance whatever is given commer- cial enterprise, and business firms cannot get concessions of ground DIED FROM LOCKJAW. Young Windsor Boy Fell From Bicycle and Cut Ilis Wrist.

In a general defence of the Gov- ernment's naval policy Mr. Chur- chill flatly declares that it. would he absurd to build ships against the United States, and that it is not the Government's policy to take the American navy into consideration in framiug tho British naval esti- mates.

At (•hippeeyan and the vicinity TIME: CITYYAAS HOST. London's Guildhall the Scene el Magnilieieut Dinners. Tho King of Sweden, on his re- cent visit to England, was eutot- tained by the Lord Mayor of Lon- don at the Guidhall. That ancient ostublishment has feasted many a royal personage, but this is the tirat occasion on which a sovereign of Sweden has been es guest of the City of London. No host is more lavish than the Lord Mayor, and the splendid banquets given to kings and queens are events oe history. John Edward Price, in "A 1)oscriptive Account of the Guildhall of the City of Loudon," makes mention of a picturesque scene which took place at ono et these magnificient dinners. One of the very last acts of the famous Sir Richard Whittington, lto of the bells and the cat, as Lord Mayor of London was the splendid entertainment of Henry V and his queen. Tho king was in debt to Whitting- ton to the amount of some sixty thousand pounds sterling. A big fire was burning in the old halt, made of various kinds of woods, and perfumed with cinnamon and spices. As Henry was sitting be- fore it, admiring its warmth, sight and scent, the Lord Mayor pro- duced the bonds of the royal debt cast them into the flames and thus freed the king. "Never had a prince such a sub- ject!" cried the astonished and grateful Henry. "Nevor had a subject such a king 1" returned the corteous and generous Whittington. Tho royal feast of the other day may. possibly have been lacking in some of the gorgeous display and fantastic ceremonies which adorned the banquets of the old times, but it certainly was not wanting in some of the essentials which the modern dinner demands. The diner -out of the presyit would prefer to bo deprived of some of the many courses rather than be obliged to go w•ithont the articles mentioned by Samuel Pepvs. who attended one of the T.nrd Mayor's banquesta In 1668. Says that worthy chronicler: "We had ten good dishes to a messe, hut it was veru unplea.eing as we bad no napkins and ne change of trenchers."
