Ijr) OUR LONDON LETTER.
I jr) OUR LONDON LETTER. rFBOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] It was satisfactory that Sir Henry Camp bell-Bannerman should have given so cordial a welcome to the Colonial Premiers. AH t' Premiers but one had arrived in London for the opening of the Conference. The absentee was Sir Robert Bond, the Prime Minister of Newfoundland, who could not land in this country till Wednesday. The Colonial Premiers have been feasted in sumptuous fashion-there is no other word for it. With 16,000 roses at the 1900 Club dinner, 6001b. of strawberries, and a feast costing a total of £ 4,000, with caviare at the Pilgrims' banquet specially imported from Russia at five shil- lings a spoonful, and with a round of enter- tainments such as has hardly been equalled, no one will be inclined to dispute that their welcome has been lavish. Perhaps the two most popular circumstances were the greet- ings between Lord Roberts and General Botha when the Premiers went to the Guild- hall to receive the Freedom of the City in gold caskets, and Mr. Haldane's allusion to a new and "very great General" with whom his General Staff were to have the privilege of conferring on the mutual defence of the Em- pire. Undoubtedly General Botha has been the lion of the hour. On three previous occasions there have been conferences of re- presentatives of the self-governing portions of the Empire-1887, 1897, 1902—but on each occasion the conference was held because the Colonial Ministers happened to be in London for a great Imperial event-the two Jubilees and the Coronation of King Edward. Mr. Asquith has been the centre of attention this week. Anticipation of the Budget took many forms. There was the hope. freely en- tertained, that Mr. Asquith would do some- thing heroic; there were half-a-dozcn schools of reformers insisting that their one particu- lar doxy" had the principal claim to benefit. Attendant on the public importance of the announcement was a personal and social incident which was not overlooked in the discussions which took place in the rail- way train and at the dinner table. It became known this week that Mr. Asquith's eldest son, Mr. Raymond Asquith, is to wed at the end of July; and the circumstance is addi- tionally curious that the eon of the Chancellor of the Exchequer has followed in the parental footsteps hitherto with a remarkable and al- most touching fidelity. Exactly like his father, Mr. Raymond won an exhibition at Balliol, was first in Mods," followed this with the Craven Scholarship, was first in "Greats," and, besides his College Fellow- ship, became President of the Oxford Union. He is, keeping in the same footsteps, to-day a prominent member of the Bar. He is to marry Miss Katherine Horner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Horner, of Mells, Somerset, and ths future bride hails, by another coinci- dence, from the country house, Mells Park, where Mr. H. H. Asquith spent the first part of his honeymoon in 1894. Shakespeare is perhaps to-day an institu- tion in London as never before in living memory. We are on the eve of the Shake- speare week, and it means much to play- goers in town that Mr. Tree, newly returned from Germany and the applause and the criticisms of Berlin, is to give us half-a-dozen Shakespeare plays on as many days. From April 22nd to May Day is the time when, as Professor Gollancz was telling the London school teachers the other day, the schools should be occupied mostly with Shakespeare —" a great mind, perhaps the greatest of minds, expressing itself in a form that is especially attractive to the young, namely, the dramatised tale." Children should be told Shakespeare talee, with adequate Shake- speare quotations, and given schoolbooks with no more notes than are necessary—not too much packing straw—and of a kind suffi- ciently neatly bound and attractive that they will not only regard them as school-books but be disposed to keep them. One needs to have seen how the evening papers were snapped up to realise in how wide a. sense the three recent sensations of the courts have occupied London readers. They are all over now and done with—except that the Thaw case will be reheard after a die interval. The case of Lord William Nevill ended in a second conviction to follow that of 1898. The facts are well known-how that for the casket of jewels which was to be pledged with the pawnbroker Lord William substituted a similar casket contain- ing coal. Mr. C. L. Attenborough, who pro- secuted, added a new incident. While on bail, he said. Lord William and his solicitor called on Mr. Fitch and paid the E315 due. The limit of the contract was April 30th next. Lady William Nevill. a tall, dark woman, who wore a sealskin jacket and a hat with a large blue feather in it, was the only witness for the defence. She said that she gave Lord William the £ 315 to pay Mr. Fitch. If she had been asked to pay before she would have done so. The sentence was twelve months' imprisonment. "I would not sen- tence you to penal servitude if you were a working man," observed the Chairman at the Old Bailey. Sir William is the fourth son of the Marquis of Abergavenny. The previous sentence was five years for fraud. Lady William Nevill, it may be noted, is connected with the famous house of Murrieta in Spain. Her independent income, as she told the court, is derived from mines and lands in Spain, and interests in the firm of Murrieta and Co. It runs into four figures. Lord William Nevill had no other income than that which his wife allowed him. Prominence is given to a certain centenary this year by the reported decision of the Government to abolish the coastguards. It would seem as though if that were done the service would be undertaken, as fifty years ago it was, by the Customs. One of the principal duties of the coastguard is to work the coastal rocket apparatus. Curiously enough, this is the centenary year of the invention by Cap- tain G. W. Manby of a device for throwing a rope on shore from a vessel in distress by means of a shell from a mortar. In the same year Mr. Trengrouse, of Helston, in Corn- wall, proposed a rocket apparatus. In 1855, Government took under its own control the life-saving agencies upon our coasts other than lifeboats—the Board of Trade received them from the Customs, and under the Board of Trade this branch of life-saving, together with the coastguard service, has been ever since. During the last year for which a report is available 141 lives were saved by the rocket apparatus, bringing up to 8,656 the total number rescued since 1870. The rocket apparatus is worked primarily by the coast- guards-at 300 stations by 4,000 officers and men. No one in town expects that the Scottish National Exhibition next year will greatly in- terfere with the Franco-British Exhibition at Shepherd's Bush, with which the Olympian Games are to be associated. It is only right that Scotland should have her national exhi- bition this year Ireland is having her exhi- bition in Dublin. On that Dublin is spending £ 14,000; Scotland will be a trifle more eco- nomical; she will probably spend £ 13,750! There will be a good fine art section; and manufacturers in the north of England, it is expected, will largely contribute to the indus- trial section. The directors feel it is necessary to get to work early in view of the pusliful- ness of the Anglo-French authorities in Lon- don, who have lately visited Glasgow and are sending deputations to the large towns in the north of England. A gift of historical playing cards is likely shortly to be on view in the City. Mr. Henry Druit Phillips, the "father" of the Card Makers' Company, has made a munificent gift to that Guild of his famous collection of playing cards, probably the finest in the world. The collection is at present insured for £ 1,500. It includes playing cards of almost every nation in the world, from Eng- land, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Holland, America, India, Persia, Japan, and China. The collection further includes packs of cards which were issued from time to time in cele bration or commemoration of great public events, such as the Gunpowder Plot and the bursting of the" South Sea Bubble." As early as the year 1377 a German monk liv- ing in Switzerland mentions the fact that card games had been introduced into that country. The Playing Card Makers' Com- pany came into existence on October 22nd, 1628, for the protection of English makers.

agricultural NOTE
agricultural NOTE BY A PRACTICAL FARMER. NEW HERDS BY CROSS-BREEDINO. More than fifty years ago a well-known agri culturist of the Midlands endeavoured to lay tht foundation of and build up a new and improved race of cattle of robust constitution, possessirg all the leading characteristics of the Shorthorn, including its original disposition to fatten, but combining with it a greater quantity of lean. After mature consideration and a close study of the chief characteristics of the different breeds, the West Highland breed was selected as possess- ing in a marked degree the desirable and essen- tial characteristics in view; namely, a hardy con- stitution, superlative hair. a compact, well- balanced frame on short legs, and. more import- ant still to the mind of the experienced and prac- tical breeder, a purity of descent unapproached by any other breed in the kingdom. Twenty cows and heifers, the best which the coun- ties of Argyll, Inverness, and Sutherland could produce, were selected with care and judgment. They were all either dun or red in colour, any animal with a speck of black on the nose being rejected. They were put to a first-class Short- horn bull, and the male calves were grazed on good pastures and finished in the stalls at the age of about three years; they were kindly feeders, very popular with the butchers, and commanded the best price on the London mar- ket. Several of the steers were prize-winners; one in particular, having a second cross of the Shorthorn, was successful, not only at many local shows in open-class competition with all breeds. but also won the first prize and bre eders' medal in the cross-bred classes both at Birmingha,n and London Christmas shows. Bulls of the Bates and Knightley strains were those chiefly used. All the female calves were reared, and were put to the bull at about eighteen to twenty months old. The first crosses were remarkably uniform in type and character, with every succeeding cross the uniformity of type and symmetrical character being less marked and more uncer- tain. This is the general experience in cross- breeding. INSFRIXC, STOCK AND PRODUCE. Among the various risks to which the crops, produce, and live stock of the farm are exposed, that of destruction by fire is not the least; but it is, fortunately, one of the few risks against which farmers are able to protect themselves by insurance. The advantages of fire insurance are well known and generally recognised, and no farmer should be deterred by the small annual expenditure involved from securing himself against loss from this cause. The terms and con- ditions on which fire insurances in Great Britain are effected by all the principal insurance com- panies are practically identical, having been settled by a committee representative of about fifty of the leading companies in this country. One important point to be remembered in insur- ing agricultural produce is the application of the average clause. For example, if property in- sured "subject to average" is insured for JE500, but at the date of a fire is worth double that amount, the insurer will only be able to recover one-half of the damage. If the policy does not state that the property is insured subject to average." the whole amount of the damage up to the sum of JESOO can be recovered. Farmers, therefore, in order to get the full benefit of a. policy of insurance as regards agricultural pro- duce, must insure for not less than three-fourths of the full value of it immediately after harvest. In the case of the insurance of animals on the farm against fire or lightning, the policies of the leading companies provide that if live stock is in- sured in one item, then in case of loss no animal is to be deemed of greater value than JMO. Any animal which it is necessary to insure for any larger sum must be specifically described and in- sured by itself for a. stated sum. Live stock is not subject to average, and need not necessarily be insured for the full value. When live stock is to u3 temporarily removed for grazing purposes to land not included in the farm, the company should be informed, and the fact that they are covered by the insurance recorded on the policy. THE NECESSITY FOR FARM EXPERIMENTS. An artificial manure can only be of use by itself when the one ingredient which it contains is missing or deficient in the soil. Superphos- phate, for. example, can only be used by itself when phosphates are wanting in the land, ¿IT:d nitrate of sorla only when there is a deficiency of soluble nitrogen. That such a deficiency exists can only be satisfactorily determined '-y actual experiments or trials; that is, by growing crops and noting the effects produced by leav;ng out or adding extra quantities of the various manures. Even a scientific expert has admitted that our knowledge of plant life and of the chemical composition of the soil is at, present not sufficiently advanced to enable us to determine precisely, except in special cases, when the land is so wanting in particular ingredients as to affect the growth of crops. Living plants or crops draw distinctions between soils and manures which the chemistry of to-day fails to do. There c is nothing, therefore, of such practical value as well-devised trials of the various manures and their mixtures by the farmer in his own fields. Having narrow slips of ground manured in various ways, or unmanured altogether, will enable him to gain a knowledge which cannot be obtained in any other way of the soil require- ments and of the use and effects of plant foods. It is very necessary, however, that manuring and experimenting should not be carried on thought- lessly. There should always be a definite object in view, and the greatest care should be taken to see that the trials are carefully made, or they may be seriously misleading and worse than use- less. As the eye is so easily deceived, weighing the produce in all doubtful cases is essential, and when dealing with grass land not only the yield, but also the variations in the kind of herbage produced-which of the plants are suppressed, which encouraged, and the character and growth of the aftermath in the cases of mown ground- must be carefully observed. FERMENTATION IN THE DAIRY. The organisms present in the air of a dairy are of many kinds, and cream allowed to stand and I xour in the dairy will absorb and become a breeding-ground of countless species, some of which will exert an influence for good and others for bad; consequently, it is a matter of chance how the butter from such a sample of cream turns out. The same chance result occurs when a quantity of sour cream or buttermilk is added to the cream before churning, though here, of course, if proper precautions are taken, the conditions may be more under control. The use of the cultures or organisms which con- tain only those whose action can result in a proper souring is intended to remove all I chances of failure, and if care be taken as to cleanliness in the dairy the fermentation can be I made to proceed on perfectly definite lines. It has been remarked, and cannot be too often brought before the notice of dairymen, that fresh milk is most ready to take up germs of all descriptions, and too much care cannot be taken of the atmosphere to which milk is exposed. Muslin coverings to the windows act as & fairly efficient stop-gap to germs from the outer air, and if the proper kind of germs can only be induced to teem in a dairy, and strict attention is paid to cleanliness of all vessels used and of all operations connected with milking, the chanoes of harmful germs finding a resting- place are, of course, diminished. FINGER AND TON IN TURNIPS. In reference to finger-and-toe in turnips, it is stated in a Times report that it is advisable that there should be as little communication between the infected and uncontaminated portions of the farm as possible, either during the eating off of the crop by the sheep or when tilling and seed- ing operations are in progress. The experi. ments that have been conducted up to the pre- sent have been practically unanimous in testify- I ing to the virtues of lime as the only known sate- guard against this ruinous pest. If not abso- lutely trustworthy, there is no doubt that lime is highly inimical to the flourishing of the disease. Of this fact there is instructive con- firmation in the comparative absence of the plague in soils resting on a limestone foundation, and the same applies to chalk districts. If the latter do not enjoy absolute immunity, they suffer lightly compared with the more extensive areas where lime is lacking in the soil, and m where, as a result, there are excessive accumula- tions of acids and other conditions prejudicial to healthy fertility. As to the conditione that con- duce to the prevalence of the malady, it has been found that working the land in wet weather was a decided stimulus, and also the use of acid manure such as superphosphate or dissolved bones was a predisposing cause. Gene- rally speaking, it may be concluded that what farmers whose land is addicted to this disease have to aim at is to increase the proportion of lime in the soil, and by this means to rerno\e the conditions that are favourable to the de- velopment of the disease germs, and destroy whatever spores are already present. The sup- pression of charlock may also be an important factor in achieving the desired object, as it has been ascertained that this weed, which is a near relative of the turnip, serves as a prey for the disease in the interval between the root crops in the rotation. ======= I

THE COLONIAL PREMIER"
THE COLONIAL PREMIER" LONDON'S HEARTY WELCOME. Londoners in their thousands turned out or Tuesday morning to throng the thoroughfare between the Hotel Cecil and the City Guildhall, and to greet heartily the Colonial Premiers a- they rode through the gaily-decorated streets on their way to receive the freedom of the City of London. At Temple Bar a large banner on which was inscribed "The City of London heartily welcomes her sons from Greater Britain" met the eyes of the Premiers. From this point on floral garlands and festoons were suspended along or across the streets. At Lud- gate-circus an enormous union jack, some 60ft. by 33ft., was a feature of the decorations. In St. Paul's Churchyard many of the business houses displayed smaller union jacks and other Sags. At the Cheapside end of King-street a Itig banner bore the words: "Welcome to the Colonial Prime Ministers," and beyond this were others, each bearing the name of a Colony, with the final salutation" Hearty Greetings" en the last. The journey from the Hotel Cecil, which was left at twenty minutes to one, was quickly ac- complished, and the ordinary traffic was sus- pended only for a few minutes to let the carri- ages containing the City's guests go by. Cheers were raised as the carriages swept by, mounted constables leading the way. General Botha re- peatedly raised his hat, smiling genially in re- aponse to the applause which his presence evoked. Sir Wilfrid Lauricr, too. was readily recognised by the crowd, and cheered almost as heartily as the Transvaal Premier. The Guiidhall Yard, where a guard of honour of the "King's Colonials" was drawn up, was reached at five minutes to one. The order of procession was as follows: First carriage.—General the Hon. Louis Botha and Miss Botha. Second carriage.—The Hon. Fred R. Moor and Miss Moor. Third carriage.—The Hon. Leander S. Jame- son and others. Fourth carriage.-Sir J. C. Ward and Lady Ward. Fifth carriage.-The Hon. Alfred Deakin and Mrs. Deakin. Sixth carriage.- Tho Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Lady Laurier. Long before the arrival of the Premiers the gueets specially invited to witness the presenta- tion of the freedom to the Colonial visitors com- menced to assemble in the library of the Guild- hall. The Lord Mayor, in full State robes, reached the library at noon, accompanied by the Lady Mayoress and preceded by the City trumpeters. At the upper end of the library gilt chairs had been placed for the Premiere, and above the respective seats were displayed charters of the freedom to be presented, suitably emblazoned and contained in heavy gilt frames. Upon their arrival at the Guildhall the dis- tinguished guests were escorted to the library, where the Town Clerk read the resolutions for conferring the freedom, and the Recorder read an address of welcome. The Chamberlain tTien admitted the Premiers to the freedom of the City, and presented them each with a copy of the freedom in a gold box. An adjournment was afterwards made to the great hall, where a large and distinguished company sat down to luncheon, over 8C8"Ji £ ing present. Among those who were invited were the Prime Minister, the Archbishop of Canter- bury, the Earl of Crewe, the Earl of Elgin, Mr. Asquith, Mr. John Sinclair. Mr. John Burns, Earl Carnngton, the Mn.-t^r of Elibank, Mr. Balfour, the Right Hon. Alfred Lvttelton, Earl Roberts, v Sir George White. Lord Brassey, the Earl of Jersey, the Earl of Kintore, the Earl of Ranfurly, Lord Stanmore, the Agents- General for the Colonies, Lord Strathcona (High Commissioner for Canada), Sir Charles Tupper, and Sir Albert Hime. SIR WILFRID LAURIER'S SPEECH. At the principal table the Lord Mayor had Sir Wilfrid Laurier on his right and Lady Laurier on his left. Mr. Deakin sat next to Mr. Balfour, General Botha next to Lord Roberts, and Dr. Jameson between Mr. Asquith and Mr. Lyttelton. After the loyal toast had been drunk, the Lord Mayor proposed the toast of "The Prime Mini- sters of the Self-governing Colonies." The reply was left to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who began by a reference to the fact that, among other incidents of Guildhall hospitality, it was there that the City had thanked Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener for bringing the South African war to a happy conclusion. The young daughter-nations of Eng- land, he said. were devoted and attached to the British Crown; and the Premiers were sent here to discuss topics affecting them as much as they affected the mother-nation. Great import- ance, he went on, was attached to the Confer- ence of this year. This Conference would de- monstrate to the world that the British Empire was a living entity. The very composi- tion of the Conference assured its suc- cess; it was one of the proudest triumphs achieved in England's marvellous career. The Colonies came here with no thoughts but thosA of union and harmony, even though they in- cluded nations that were not of England's kith and kin. He pointed out as an evidence that the Conference had its success pre-ordained that "my friend Dr. Jameson" and "my friend General Botha," between whom relations had been somev-hat strained at one time," were both sitting at the table with him, and were both members of tp'0 Conference. There was," he went on, referring to the granting of the Transvaal Constitution, only oae nation in the world that could have dared to do what Britain had done, and that nation was-England. The only other toast was that of the Lord Mayor and Corporation; and the Prime Mini- ster. in proposing this, said that the Corporation had exceeded its usual hospitality in entertaining the Colonial Premiers as it had done that day— taking them to its heart and admitting them to its ancient and honourable privileges. On their return to the Hotel Cecil by a slightly varied route, the Premiers were again heartily greeted by large crowds. EIGHTY CLUB BANQUET. Sir H.

BURGLARY AT AN M.P.'S HOUSE.
BURGLARY AT AN M.P.'S HOUSE. The Globe publishes partioulars of a skilful and carefully-planned attack by burglars on the resi- dence of Mr. R. W. Perks, M.P., Kensington Palace-gardens, on Thursday evening last week. Spoil to the value of over J61,000 was obtained. The men apparently carried a long ladder from some distance and placed it against the sill of the window of Mrs. Perks's room, which is at the back of the building. After gaining access to the premises the burglars commenced to safeguard themselves against a possible surprise visit-the family were at dinner-by fastening the door from the inside with gimlets and wedges. They then ransacked all the dressing- table drawers and found as a result of their search a pearl necklace valued at £ 1,000, two diamond brooches, one in horse-shoe and the ether in bar shape, and a number of less valu- able articles of jewellery. While engaged in operations the thieves coolly turned on the electric light Apparently just when the bur- glars had collected their booty Mrs. Perks's maid visited the room, and on finding that the door could nnt bo opened gave the alarm. In the ensuing confusion the intruders made good I their escape down the ladder, leaving some of their tools behind. A number of detectives from Scotland Yard are now engaged in searching for them.

MASKED MEN ROB A STAGE 00- I. A daring attack on a stage coach is reported from Zortmar1. in Montana, worthy or the wildest days of the Far West. A body of masked men attacked the coach in a remote spot, as it was proceeding with mailw for the ranchmen in the sparsely-populated mountainous districts, and speedily overpowered the driver and cower the passengers. In addition to the mails the rob- bers relieved the passengers of 28,000dol. in cash, and got away with their booty, some hours be- fore the authorities could be warned.

QUEEN VICTORIA'S LETTERS TO…
QUEEN VICTORIA'S LETTERS TO THE DUKE OF RUTLAND. In the Chancery Division, on Wednesday, Mr* Justice Joyce delivered judgment in the dispute* between the Duke of Rutland and his step" brother, Lord Cecil Manners, concerning letterq written to their father, the late Duke of Rutland,, by Queen Victoria and other prominent personages* By Clause 7 of his will the late Duke be* queathed all private and family letters, written after the year 1862. to Lord Cecil Manners, 1862 being the date of his second marriage. The present Duke is a son by the first wife, and all letters and papers not included in the gift tcv Lord Cecil Manners went to him. The late Duka. directed his eldest son to go carefully through his papers and to destroy all such as were of a confix dential character, except those he might consider to be of future use to heads of departments fOil the time being. It was then proposed that fl| biography of the late Duke should be written,, and a difficulty arose with respect to whether letters on political and public affairs, written tor. the testator by his colleagues in the Cabinet and by Queen Victoria, came within the class "private" letters bequeathed to Lord Cecil Manners. On behalf of the present Duke, it was contended that private" meant personal, as distinguished from political, and did not in* elude letters written to the testator by virtue oft his public position. Lord Cecil contended thatl "private" meant everything non-official. His Lordship said he understood that none oft the letters in question related to personal on family affairs, or were marked private. The word private had several meanings, but he waa satisfied that the testator did not intend to uao it in such a wide sense as to include all letters, sent to him which were not intended for publica- tion. He could not conclude that each letter oa political and public affairs received by the late Duke was a private letter, and he came to the conclusion that the letters which came under that head were not comprised in the bequest to Lord Cecil Manners.
