OUR LONDON LETTER.
OUR LONDON LETTER. [From Our Special Correspondent.] There is a general agreement that Mr. Herbert Samuel thoroughly deserves his pro- motion to Cabinet rank. Though compara- tively a young member—he first sat in the House of Commons in 1902-his abilities have been long recognised, and since he became a Minister he has developed into a debater of the front rank. He is one of those lucky Ministers who make no enemies, and so con- gratulations upon his appointment come from all parties in the Commons. Mr. Samuel's most notable achievement so far has been the piloting of the Children's Bill through the House. The resignations of Lord Fitzmaurice and Mr. Buchanan have come at an awkward time for the Government, and they can ill spare Lord Fitzmaurice from the House of Lords. At the same time there does not appear to be any ground at all for the rumour that dissatisfaction with the Budget had anything at all to do with his resigna- tion, or that of Mr. Buchanan from the Under-Secretaryship for India. Ill-health is the reason given for both in the official com- munication, and it is no doubt the true reason. Mr. Buchanan has been absent from his place for some months, and Lord Fitz- maurice, who is the brother of the Marquis of Lansdowne, has been suffering considerably during the last few weeks, and his medical advisers have ordered him complete rest. The Master of Elibank, who has been the Scot- tish Whip, goes to the India Office to succeed Mr. Buchanan. In the last few years the great railway companies carrying suburban traffic have been hard hit by the competition of trams and motor-'buses, and every year the direc- tors have had to deplore a loss of revenue from this cause. Rather late in the day, the Great Eastern, who are perhaps the greatest sufferers, are taking steps to try to stop the decline in passengers and revenue and to induce some of those who have left the train for the tram to come back again. The method they are adopting is the obvious one of reducing fares so as to compare more favourably with those charged by the tram- ways and the 'bus companies. There are, of course, other things besides cheaper fares which teiA in favour of trams. There is a more frequent service, for one thing, and the cars pick up and set down passengers nearer to their residences than any railway can do. But the railways travel faster, and the travelling is more comfortable—except when fifteen passengers are crammed into a com- partment designed to carry ten or so. Be- sides reducing fares, the Great Eastern are going to try what can be done by a more frequent service between certain points, and it is possible that these improvements may get back for them some of the traffic which they have lost. The new Victoria and Albert Museum I which the King opened at South Kensington on Saturday has cost a million pounds to build, and it is by a long way the most im- posing building among the museums of London. Its construction has been in pro- gress since the late- Queen Victoria per- formed her last public act of laying the foundation stone just over ten years ago. The style of architecture is "a free Renais- sance," that. being the style which admits of the introduction of the largest amount of window-space—an important consideration in the case of a museum. The interior decoration of the huge pile-i" l contains a mile of galleries, and the courts cover an acre and a half-is superb. Some of the col- lections are already in place, but as the re- moval has only been in progress since the be- z, ginning of the year, there is still a great deal to be done. When this work is completed the treasures of the Museum will be magnifi- cently housed, and the plan of arrangement will enable them to be viewed by the public to much greater advantage than hitherto, and the Museum will certainly take its place as one of the greatest attractions of London. Few members of Parliament were more popular with their fellows than Sir Alfred Jacoby, whose death took place last week. His place in the affections of members of the House of Commons was secure, for he had found his way to their hearts through the dining-room, and that way, as the cynics tell us, is always the surest road to the heart of an Englishman. As Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, Sir Alfred made many improve- ments and innovations which, contributed to the comfort and satisfaction of hungry and thirsty legislator He took his duties seriously, but he had a sense of humour which enabled him to amuse the House with his answers to questions upon the quality of whisky, the price of strawberries, or the age of a spring chicken. Colonel Lockwood, who has been acting for Sir Alfred lately, is like him in that respect, as was proved when he announced recently- that in consequence of the new taxation a halfpenny would be put on the price of a glass of whisky, but. that members could get over the difficulty of the halfpenny by ordering two glasses instead of one. One of the most important of the many subjects which have been discussed at the Imperial Press Conference is the charge made by the cable companies for Press messages. The high rates have made it next to impossible for any but news of the very greatest importance to be cabled at anything like adequate length, and awkward misunder- standings have often arisen between the Mother Country and the Dominions owing to a condensed report of a ~peech, or a. sentence or two torn from the context, being flashed beyond the seas. An announcement of the utmost importance was macki at one of the final meetings of the Conference, to the effect that the Pacific Cable Board has agreed to reduce by one-half its charges for Press messages, while New Zealand, and probably Australia also, will do the same in regard to their terminal charges. The most interesting announcement, however, was made by Mr. Marconi, who as good as promised- wireless communication between this country and Canada within a few months at the rate of twopence per word.

I 5- fISH. :J OINT S WEETS_ ¡ ¡ When Food Mocks You Indigestion is the Cause. How Digestive Weaknesses are cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
[No title]
To lose a healthy appetite and find himself, within a few months, a wreck through Acute Indigestion, was the doleful misfortune of Mr. James Hunt, of 12, Loom-street, Bradford. "I had often heard people complain of Indi- gestion," said Mr. Hunt to a reporter recently, "but I had little thought then that it could mean such suffering. I know now that Indiges- tion can ruin a man's constitution, for I became a complete wreck through nothing else, with my nerves all shattered and so I remained until Dr. Williams' Pink Pills strengthened my diges- tive system and cured me. "I was always a hearty eater, but at the be- ginning of last year I felt puffed up and short of breath after every meal. Then sharp pains attacked my chest and back; I suffered very much with flatulence, and my heart seemed to be affected. "I am a strong man to-day, but at the time I am speaking of I had no strength. My nerves were shattered, and I suffered much from sick headaches, and was very despondent. Food simply mocked me, and I had to give up taking solids and live on what is, to a man, the most repugnant diet—minces and liquids. "After trying several remedies without any relief-as a matter of fact, they only increased the weakness of my stomach-I tried Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills for Pale People on the advice of a friend who had been cured of Indigestion by them. "After taking the first box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I felt a trifle brighter, and made up my mind to persevere with them. Very soon my appetite began to grow keen, and there was less discomfort after taking my meals. My whole system became strengthened, and as I perse- vered with the pills new, flourishing blood filled my veins. Then gradually every trace of Indi- gestion left me, and I became alert and cheer- ful. I was able to eat heartily and enjoy my meals, and I never again felt languid or de- pressed. I would do anything to induce any sufferer from Indigestion or Nervous Breakdown to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, for I am posi- tive they will cure the worst case." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure Indigestion because the Rich, Red, New Blood they create tones up the feeble organs of digestion into healthy, vigorous action. By their direct action on the Blood and Nerves they have also cured Ancemia, Neuralgia, Debility, Rheumatism, Sciatica, and Paralysis also the aches and ills of women. Obtainable of dealers, or direct from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, 46, Holborn-viaduct, London, post free, 2s. 9d. one box, or 133. 9d. for six boxes. Accept only the genuine pills with the full name (seven words, always) on the wrapper, thus-Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

A LONG RECORD BROKEN.
A LONG RECORD BROKEN. For the first time in eight and a half years, Jacob Popp, tobacconist and newsagent, of High Wycombe, who has been summoned regularly for offending against the Sunday 0 Observance Act of Charles II., did not put in an appearance at the Borough Sessions on Saturday. Popp has not been served with the usual summonses for his offence committed on the last two Sundays. On three or four occasions recently Popp has been dismissed, and twice he has pas- sively resisted by resolutely declining to pay the proverbial fine and costs. No distraint has been levied. Popp's summonses total over 400, and he spates that he has paid about £ 220 in fines and costs.
TEACHER—MA GISTR ATE.
TEACHER—MA GISTR ATE. An important point affecting the absence of an elementary school teacher during school hours was raised at the Staffordshire Education Committee on Saturday. Mr. Ingley, th-e assistant morter at Quarry Bank School, applied for leave of absence once in six weeks, for an hour and a half, in order that he might sit as a Justice of the Peace. Objection was taken that a dangerous precedent would be created, but it was urged that teachers ought not to be debarred from filling public positions, and that the experi- ence gained thereby was valuable to them. A report was presented recommending that the application, which was supported by the local managers, should be granted, but the committee decided to refer the matter back.

While running to pick up some omnibus tickets lying in the roadway, a boy of seven fell in front of a motor-omnibus at Hammersmith, and was instantly killed. In 99 out of every 100 cases children are the best witnesses you can have, especially when r they have come first hand and have not been talked to," said the coroner at a St. Pancras inquest. Mr. Otto Wagner, who was travelling to Queenstown to embark in the Oceanic for New • York, arrived late and missed his passage by the tender. He immediately engaged a special steamer and caught the Oceanic as she was leaving the port. The chase created much excitement. A well-known New York artist, Mr. William Verplauck Birney, was driving his motor-car through the suburbs, accompanied by his wife, when he was seized with apoplexy, and expired almost instantly. The car was wrecked, but Mrs. Birnoy sprang out and escaped with a few bruises.

KING AND THE DUMA. Rain interfered on Friday with several of the functions usually associated with the official celebration of the King's Birthday, and some of them had to be abandoned. Their Majesties spent a busy day at Bucking- ham Palace. In the morning the King pre- sented colours to the Corps of Gentlemen-at- Arms, and in the afternoon he and the Queen received the President and members of the Rus- sian Duma and Imperial Council, who are at present in London. The Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms have not carried colours for many years; in fact it is 'I suggested by historians that the standard of the Pensioners, who were at that period equiva- lent to the Corps, was lost at the battle of Naseby. The members of the Russian Duma, who are on a visit to this country, were presented to the King by the Russian Ambassador. Their Majesties shook hands with each of the visitors, and the King subsequently addressed the visi- tors in French. From the beginning, his Majesty said, he had followed the sittings of the Duma with the deepest interest, and he read, as far as he could, the newspaper accounts of its proceedings. It now gave him pleasure to know some of its members personally and to see them in his coun- try. He expressed the hope that they would have time to become acquainted with the dif- ferent parts and to study the various institu- tions of his country. The evening celebrations in honour of the King's birthday were most successful and of an enthusiastic character. The Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Secre- taries of State, and various other Ministers gave dinners, as also did members of the official Opposition. The two principal receptions which followed were held at the Foreign Office and Lansdowne House respectively.
FIRED A SHOP.
FIRED A SHOP. At the Staffordshire Assizes on Saturday two brothers, Hugh McCormack and Bernard McCormack, grocers, were found guilty of setting fire to a shop at Hanley on May 5 with intent to defraud the Royal Insurance Company. The prisoners traded as O'Connor Brothers, as grocers, in Broad-street, and they insured the stock and fixtures, valued at £ 150, for £ 700. Later a fire occurred on the premises, and on examination the police found a large number of boxes containing shavings and lighted candles, and straw and paper were scattered about the floor. Prisoners were each sentenced to five years' penal servitude.
DIED FROM SCALDS.
DIED FROM SCALDS. An inquest was held at Rosenau, Datchet, Bucks, on Saturday afternoon, on the infant daughter of Sir James and Lady McGrigor, who died from scalds sustained in a bath on Friday. The nurse said she left the baby playing in the nursery whilst she went into another room for a minute to fetch some- thing. She heard the child scream, and, rushing into the room, found her in a bath -in which there was boiling water. A housemaid stated that she put half a can of boiling water in the bath in the nursery, and then went to fetch some cold. Dr. Atlee said the child died from shock. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."
SUICIDE IN THE STREET.
SUICIDE IN THE STREET. A dramatic story of the suicide of a young barman, named Thomas John Abrahams, } aged 19, was told at the inquest at Poplftr Town Hall on Saturday. Abrahams had been discharged on account of trade being quiet. He was upset, and after going home to his mother's went out to meet his sweetheart, but made several calls at public-houses, and got the worse for drink. Later he was in Dunkeld-street, when a young man heard a report of firearms, and saw Abrahams fall to the ground. He passed him, and found Abrahams was following him, pointing a revolver at him, and witness ran away. <:> Another young fellow named Muir also met Abrahams, and had the pistol pointed at him. Sergeant Wells said Abra- hams threatened to blow his brains out if he touched him. The officer succeeded in wrest- ing the weapon from Abrahams, who then said, "Don't worry. I have only shot my- self." He was removed to the hospital, where j he died from a bullet wound in the right j temple. The jury returned a verdict of "Suicide whilst temporarily insane from the effects of drink," and highly commended Sergeant Wells.

LORD CHARLES AND THE NAVY
LORD CHARLES AND THE NAVY At the final meeting of the Imperial Press Conference on Saturday, Imperial defence was again the topic of discussion. Viscount Esher said they would all agree that the first line of Imperial defence was the Navy. Its duties and responsibilities had been summed up in the phrase showing the flag." He could not but hope that the I wisdom of their rulers would find an opportunity of utilising the patriotic loyalty 'of their Dominions. In military affairs there must be absolute and complete touch between the directing heads of such military forces as might be called upon to act together. He hopefully looked forward to the time when the Committee of Imperial Defence would be strengthened for the> con- Defence would be strengthened for the, con- sideration of these problems by the addition of representatives of the Dominions. Lord Charles Beresford said the dominant note of the addresses to the Conference had been one of anxiety. In his opinion the reason for the anxiety is because the statesmen who had spoken knew we were not prepared. But they were not in a position to know where we were not prepared. He was not going into that great question. That was not the time or the place. But as a naval officer of considerable experience he gave his views for what they were worth. The anxiety in the Press of both this country and the Dominions had been emphasised in another way. The Colonies had offered to build Dreadnoughts and to give us money. In his opinion that was the severest condemnation of the Imperial defence policy of this country that it was possible to make.

TRAVELLING SCHOLARSHIPS.
TRAVELLING SCHOLARSHIPS. An important movement has recently been inaugurated, with a view of providing oppor- tunities for as many as possible of the edu- cated youth of the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States to obtain some real in- sight into the life, customs, and progress of other nations. Lord Strathcona has consented to become president for the United Kingdom, and there is an influential list of vice-presi- dents. It is sought to increase the value and efficiency. of present University training by the provision of travelling scholarships for practical observation in other countries under suitable guidance. The- (selection of candidates is to be along the lines of the Rhodes Scholarships. It is proposed to establish two students' travelling bureaux, one in New York and one in London, to afford every facility to any graduate or undergraduate of any university 'who wishes to visit the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom for the pur- pose of obtaining an insight into the student, national, and industrial life of those coun- tries.. Twenty-eight travelling scholarships' will be provided, fourteen being available for Universities in the United Kingdom, ten for Universities in America, a;nd four for Uni- versities in Canada. Before efforts are made to obtain perma- nent endowment for the scheme, an experi- mental period of three years is proposed. The. total cost of the project for this term is esti- mated at £ 13,500.
MYSTERY OF A MAJOR'S DEATH.
MYSTERY OF A MAJOR'S DEATH. The Home Office analysis relating to the death of Major R. A. Falkner, a wealthy Leicester- shire man who died in May, is complete, and it is believed that the result of the analysis is to negative the theory of arsenic poisoning. No arsenic was found in the body. Major Falkner, a man of fifty, died from a strange illness which baffled his medical ad- visers. An analysis gave traces of what was at the time supposed to be arsenic. Mrs. Falkner demanded that every inquiry should be made, and at her request Colonel Murray Baillie, her brother, placed the facts before Scotland Yard. The Home Office analysis was the outcome.

TWO MEN ELECTROCUTED. A terrible accident Occurred on Monday at Clifton Colliery, Nottingham, two men being electrocuted while working an electric machine by which coal is cut from the seam. The two men, named Daniel Eyre and Samuel Higgs, were working alone in a distant part of the mine, when another miner named Richard- son Cotterill went to speak to them. He found Eyre standing apparently in the act of switching on the current. Higgs was leaning against the casing of the machine. Neither replied when Cotterill spoke to them, and when he looked closer he found both were dead.

NEW THAMES BRIDGE.
NEW THAMES BRIDGE. A report of the highest importance to London has been made by the Bridge House Estates Committee of the Corporation, who were charged with the task of inquiring into the ways of im- proving communication between the north and south sides of the Thames. The committee re- commend the construction of a new bridge, at an estimated cost of £ 1,646,933 and the lower- ing of the gradients of Southwark Bridge, at an estimated cost of £ 231,000. The new bridge which is proposed will cross the river some distance westward of Southwark Bridge, and, with its approaches, form a new main artery between St. Paul's-churchyard and the junction of Southwark-street and Southwark Bridge-road. On the north side the bridge will be continued by a viaduct over Upper Thames- street and Queen Victoria-street. The proposal allows for tramway-car traffic along the new artery. On reaching the north side the cars will dip into a subway and travel across the heart of the City underground, thus avoiding interference with the surface traffic.
