OUR LONDON LETTER.
OUR LONDON LETTER. "0 [From Our Special Cor,(-espondent-I This would be a dull world without Mr. Stead. His latest exploit is the opening of a sort of telephone exchange with the spirit world. It goes by the name of Julia's Bureau, and the spirits of the departed may be "rung up" from there, and asked what they think of the happenings in the world they have left. Through the medium of Julia, herself a spook who was in life a Chicago lady journalist, h. Stead has inter- viewed many famous statesmen with regard to the present political situation. Lord Beaconsfield, Lord Salisbury, John Bright, Mr. W. H. Smith, and others have expressed their opinions, but only Lord Beaconsfteld gave permission for his remarks to be pub- lished. The others had various reasons for not wishing the public to be made acquainted with what .hey really think. All these interviews must have been very interesting, but the spirit who Mr. Stead ardently desired to interview was that of Mr. Gladstone. The "G.O.M." was at first disinclined to have anything to do with pre- sent-day politics, which, considering that his political career on earth lasted for the greater part of a century, is scarcely surpris- ing. However, "at the long last," he yielded to the persuasions of the lady journalist, who seems to have carried her American methods beyond the grave, and the Result was a most interesting "interview." The spirits who have been d'sturbed are not stated to have shown any particular resent- ment, but surely some of them must have had enough of "interviewing" and polities here below, and it is a little hard on them to be still liable to be rung up at any moment and asked for their "views on the situation. » There was a crowded audience at Queen's Hall on Saturday for the first of the eight Svmphonv Cohcerts to be given by the Queen's Hall Orchestra, under the baton of Mr. Henry Wood. The concerts are to be given at intervals of a fortnight, the date of the next being November 13. Music-lovers who are thinking of spending week-ends in Town should not fail to make a note of the dates. The performance on Saturday was in every respect equal to the high standard of these concerts, and that this was the opinion of the audience was abundantly evident by the enthusiasm displayed. There was a novelty in the programme in the shape of a suite for orchestra and organ by Max Bruch. It is a very effective work, a,nd was received with warm approval. It was, however, the playing of Signor Busoni in a couple of works for pianoforte and orchestra which roused the audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. He was recalled again and again, and not suffered to make his final ¡ exit until he had yielded to the demand for t an encore. Though no official confirmation is yet forthcoming, general credence is given to the j report that Mr. Herbert Gladstone, the Home Secretary, will be appointed first Governor-General of the Union of South < Africa. The report has given rise to a good deal of comment, some of which is decidedly I hostile to the appointment. A leading I journal deprecates the imposition of "failures of the Cabinet upon India or the I Dominions, but thitt, of course, is a merely partisan view. Some time ago there was much talk of an organised attempt to drive the Home Secretary from office, and it was said that he would take a peerage anti die-, appear from active political life. Liberal paper in the North of England ex- pressed the genial view that Mr. Gladstone was sticking to office like a limpet, and that he could, not be induced to resign, though everybody wanted him to do so. With re- gard to the South African appointment, that cannot be made for several months to come, so that any discussion of the subject ia pre- mature. We hear a good deal about Socialism in these days- from one point of view or Another. It is for some a deadly heresy, While others see salvation in it; some are for fighting, and some for fostering it. There is an Anti-Socialist Union formed, which is appealing for funds for carrying on its cam- paign, and the other day, so we are told, "a thick-set man in a blue lounge suit" slipped into the Union's office, flicked a half- sovereign to the clerk, and hurried off with- out waiting for a receipt. The clerk, so the story goes, ran after the stranger, "who kept hM face partly covered with his umbrella." Overtaking him, he asked: "Are yon not Mr. Burnot "That's my business," re- torted he of the umbrella, and made off in the direction of Parliament-square. That is all, and it is evident that a good deal turns upon the umbrella with which tliis, moys- terious stranger covered his face. Now, these who know Mr. John Burns and his habits can no more think of him with an umbrella than of the late Duke-of Cambridge without one. The President of the Local Govern- ment no" Woo L Id regard the carrying of an umbrella as a sign of weakness. Defiance, not .defence, is his motto—let it rain! Who- ever gave that kalf-«Gve«eig!i to the Ants- Socialist Union, it was not he. It is to be feared that the lady who is on her way to this country from America to claim the "Drake mitlions "-the estate of the famous Sir Francis—is going to experi- ence a great disappointment. She claims ta be a descendant of the great Admiral, and is coming to establish her right to the estate, now in Chancery, and estimated to amount to the modest little sum of £ 25,000,000! It Is a fortune worth making a journey for, only, unfortunately, it does not exist. EtrenJ in this country constantly hears the fable of enormous fortunes lying in Chan- eery, waiting only to be claimed by the Umo ike whiiiv" am a matter of fact, there are no large uneliftiaied estates in Great Britain 8\.u.. Wwt warn im Chancery" critf ) only in imagination. Few amounts are open to be claimed at all, and these are almost in- variably small, the average amount being considerably less than £400. In the event of there being much difficulty in establishing a claim, the greater part of the little fortune would disappear into the pockets of the lawyers, as has happened once or twice be- fore. Americans have been interested in the "Drake millions" for some years, and it is interesting to note that the original estimate of the amount in Chancery was £ 37,000,000. Sir Francis Drake's views on the matter of his estate should be worth hearing. Will Mr. Stead oblige? The old sea-dog has made a promise- If the Dons strike Devon, I'll leave the port of Heaven, And drum them up the Channel, As we drummed them long ago." But he may perhaps hold that the question of the millions is of no importance. All the same, the experiment seems worth trying. A. E. M.
IN WINTER'S GRIP.
IN WINTER'S GRIP. The heaviest October snowfall experienced in North-East Warwickshire for many years I occurred on Saturday morning, following a severe frost. There was ice nearly half an inch thick at Wigton, where IOJ degrees of frost were registered. The farmers in the hill dietricts have not yet finished harvesting operations, and if the frost holds it is feared that the potato crops will be seriously damaged. On Saturday morning the roads at Peak Forest and Tkljswell Moor were covered with snow and ice. Corn yet remains in the fields. The roads at Chinley were enow covered. There has been a heavy snowfall OR the East Cheshire hills, and for the first time ia forty-one years there was on S,aUu"day flmow an inch deep in Octobcr. The Snowdonian and Mericwaethshire mountains are covered by some judhp-s of snow.

GREEK NAVAL MUTINY
GREEK NAVAL MUTINY LIEUTENANT'S MAD EXPLOIT. TWENTY-MINUTE BATTLE. The military reform movement in Greece has undergone a remarkable development. On Friday a naval oflicer, Lieutenant Typaldos, with a flotilla of torpedo-boats and submarines, and a force consisting of only 300 non-commis- sioned officers and men, seized the arsenal on the island of Salamis. It is said that Typaldos demanded the reorganisation of the ranks and the retirement of certain old officers, and his own appointment as Minister of Marine. On Friday afternoon the army bombarded the arsenal and recovered possession after an en- gagement, lasting only twenty minutes. The Military League has proclaimed Typaldos a traitor. The proclamation states that he, a member of the League, violating his oath to it, demanded that the League should obtain from the Government permission for it to introduce in the Chamber a Bill for the purification of naval administration. Without waiting for the Ministry of Marine to submit snch a Bill, he has positively declared that he wanted to be ap- pointed Minister of Marine, so as to be able to work more effectively for the improvement of the Navy, and that, if his demand were not ac- cepted within twenty-four hours, he would at- tack the fleet with his torpedo-boats, and 80 become master of the situation and impose his will. The League ascribes his pretensions to mad- ness and the influence of other persons who are using him as a tool, and are urging him to carry out his threats. Typaldos has been trying to win over naval officers by threats and promises. The League declares that, in faces of such con- duct, it has determined to disown Typaldos, to strike his name from its rolls, and to have him tried for treason before a court-martial. The artillerv bombarded the mutinous torpedo flotilla from the heights of Scaramanga, and the warships also shelled the rebel vessels, which returned the fire. The arsenal is in the bandf of the Government, which hopes that the tor- pedo boats will surrender. HOW THE CRISIS Arosb. The action of Lieutenant Typaldos, though denounced by the Military League, arises out of recent demands in which that body have com- pelled the Government to acquiesce. Among these demands was the recent one that the Crown Prince and his brothers should resign their naval and military commands. Kmg George and the Government were forced to comply, and then the League compelled the Government to agree to the removal of the eenior officers of the Navy on the ground of their incompetence. Lieutenant Typaldos, however, is apparently in a hurry, and the League is not directly blamed for the revolt. It is denied that the revolution movement l# directed against King George or the dynastyy and the. recent demonstration of 50,000 people outside the Royal Palace in Athens cheered the King when he expressed from the balcony hit desire for necessary reforms. The revolt lasted only twenty-four hours. The crews of the torpedo-boats surrendered after landing their officers, some of whom, r including the rebel leader Typaldos, escaped. Many officers were arrested. The revolt is denounced throughout Greece, and the public demand that the traitors shall be dealt with in the severest sanner.
