——— I Banishment Begun I KING MANOEL'S LIFE AT WOOD NORTON 1 N ) I King Manoel has begun his life of banish- ment. As I saw him yesterday he appeared sadly out of placc-Rn exile in very truth '.writes a London Daily News" correspon- dent). He was passing through the grounds of Wood Norton in the company of his prandmother, the aged and stately Comtesse de Paris, and his uncles, the Due d'Orleans and the Duke of Oporto, and a more melan- choly youth it would be hard to imagine. The strong, typically Bourbon features of the countess showed no signs of recent emotion, but I am told that the scene on Wednesday night when she received the Royal exiles in the hall of the mansion was deeply affecting. We were all moved to tears," were the words of one who was present. The greetings, however, were very I brief. and the whole house was in darkness by midnight. I it Found a Piano I Yesterday morning tne household break- fasted late, and no attempt was made to carry out any fixed programme. Before lunch King Manoel and the Duke of Oporto were shown over some parts of the estate of the Duke of Orleans. Then a visit was Paid to the famous museum. At noon a simple dejeuner was served, and during the aft-ernoon the Duke of Orleans compelted the show tour of his domain by conducting his guests to the gun-house. Then for an hour or two the young King strolled in the Moods, while his mother. Queen Amelie. accompanied by the Marquis Lavradio and the Comtesse Figuero, a lady-in-waiting, went for a short motor drivo. All the King requires is tranquillity, and such tranquility his host is determined that he shall have. In the house he has already found a piano to his taste, and will, doubt- less, speml many happy and consoling hours in its company during the next few weeks. I I A Faithful Valet The King has a faithful servant, a dark- i faced Portuguese valet, who has come with his Majesty into exile. He has felt the | bitterness of his master's deposition, with [ an even greater poignancy than the King I himself. | I am officially informed that King Mamoel 1 will not leave the grounds of Wood Norton: for two or three days at east. I King Manoel is still in a limited ofticail sense the King of Portugal, and until final steps are taken by the British Government I for the recognition of the new Republic, he Will not lose his Royal status in this country. Accordingly, the usual arrangements have been made for the protection of his person Until he assumes the simple position o( an English country gentleman, an event that cannot now be long postponed. At Wood Norton this evening I was I informed that it is still uncertain whether King George will pay the visit which was arranged for Saturday. The visit has not been definitely cancelled, but certain changes of plan are being discussed.

I AtOKD AND DENBIGH RAILWAY. I Mr. F. P. Robjent (Newport) presided on Thursday at the half-yearly meeting of the Ikold and Denbigh Junction Railway, held at Palmerston House, London, and. in fnoVing the adoption of the report, referred with great regret to the death of Mr. Philip Pennant, Pennant, who had been a director fjtim within a few months of the formation Of the company and chairman for over 40 leum. In regard to the half-year's working, the directors were, on the whole, satisfied With the increase of S,184 in the traffic f^>oeipts, more particularly as practically the ^hole came from passengers.—Mr. A. P. "Oberte seconded the adoption of the report, "'bien was agreed to.

Newport Watch Committee on Thursday decided to deal vigorously, by the employ- tnent of extra police, with the objectionable I °°iiduct which has characterised High-street "Od the arcades ohiefly on Sunday night.

P.O. MEN STRIKE 8,000 MINERS DROP TOOLS ) I Early Morning March DANGER OF FURTHER SPREAD I A spirit of dissatisfaction asserted itself yesterday morning among the men employed at the Lower Duffryn Colliery, Cv/mpennar. who marched en bloc to the Drill-hall. Moun- tain Ash. where they held a mass meeting, over which Mr. Isaac R. Jones presided. Ivlr. Noah Tromans in the course of a speech full of the fighting vein said the action of the men would. doubtless, lead to prosecution, but. as on a previous occasion of the same kind, the company would .101, obtain any damages. If, however, proceed- ings were taken against them and damage- were awarded to the company, the miners would retrieve themselves in some other way and down tools" again. Circumstances had compelled them to break the law on account of their determination to reject the peace-at-at,.i--price policy. When he lodge officials threatened a strike, they were, the speaker alleged, taunted by the manage- ment that they couM net force a fight. on the ground that so large a proportion of the men were outside the ranks of the Miners' ,,i i Tierr, federation. put why were there so many non-Unionists- ? The reason was that the defaulters had :0t been earning enough wages to enable them tc nay their contribu- tions to the Federation. The spirit of revolt had. however, seized the hearts of the non- Unionist?, who recognised that no other attitude would be instrnmcntal in causing the management to accede to their demands. The speaker alleged that the company had been violating customs all along; and he urged the men to unite and stand or fall together. The meeting utianimously decided to march to Cwmbach with a view to endeavouring to enlist, the sympathy of the men working at the Llettyshenkin Colliery. Cwmbach Men to Come Cut To-day On the arrival of the Owmpennar men a.t Cwmbach fiie colliers engaged at the local pit were being brought up. A joint meeting was held, and Messrs. Noah Tromans. Isaac R. Jones. and other workmen explained fully the position at Civrnperiier. Event nally, it was unanimously resolved that the Cwrnba-oh men should come out to-day (Friday!, ami that they should all proceed to the top of A be ram an Colliery this morning for the pur- pose of conferring with the men engaged at that pit upon the question of a general stop- page of work at all !he collieries owned by the company in the district. If the Aberaman workmen fall into line. the intention is to march to Owmaman this afternoon to try to accomplish the same end with the men there. AN UGLY OUTLOOK ti Nearly 8,000 Men Idle Matters have to-day assumed a very grave aspect. as the whole of the Powell-Duffryn collieries in the Aberdare Valley are to-day idle, the men ntimberiiirr nearly 8.000. True to their resolution at yesterday's meeting, the Cwmpennar and Cwmbach men marched up to Aberaman a.t five o'clock this morning and persuaded the latter to strike. Meanwhile the Forchaman men had also struck work. There is also a possibility that the strikers may try to extend to struggle to the Powell- Duffryn pits in the Rhymney VrJiey. whore j, another 4,000 men are enaatred. Welsh Miners' Wages At the end of the present month the ques- r tio: of a change in the wage-rate of the Welsh miners will again arise. The result of the audit of the coalowners' books will not be made public until the meeting of the Conciliation Board to consider any applica- tion. if such be made. The workmen's repre- sentatives, however, arrive at a decision to j apply for an increase on the Custom House returns. The published figures for the past three months show that the average selling price of the large steam coals shipped f.o.b. at Cardiff was a trifle under 15s. 7d. per ton, or a fraction of a penny per ton below the level of the previous quarter. The average at Newport was slightly under 14s. 41d.. a fall of about 2d. per ton; at Port Talbot about 14s. net. a fall of about 4Jd. per ton; and at Swansea 16s. nd.. a fall of about 2d. per ton. The volume of trade also shows a falling off on the quarter. The present wage-rate is 50 per cent, above the standard of 1875). According to the terms of the last agreement, the workmen would be entitled to an advance upon tfriis percentage when the average selling price rose suffi- ciently above 14s. 9d. per ton to give them an advance. Therj is considerable difference between the Customs figures and thoae of the coalowners' audit, and at the last meeting of the Conciliation Board the coalowners were able to show that the average selling price of large coal was only a fraction over 14s. 9d. per ton, and that, therefore, the workmen were not entitled to an increase. Seeing that the Customs figures for the different ports for the past quarter show a siight decline in values, it is not improbable that the work- men's representatives may determine not to apply for any increase at present. The fall is, however, not sufficient to justify an appli- cation from the coalowners for a reduction, seeing that they would not be entitled to such until the average selling price fell below 13s. 9d. per ton f.o.b. It is to be expected, therefore, that there will be no application from either side. ¡

SHIPYARD WAR. I A A CONTINUED STATE OF DEADLOCK. At the headquarters of the Boilermakers' Society in Newcastle on Thursday it was stated that the position in the shipbuilding dispute was unchanged, arM that there was now a, deadlock. The executive council met on Thursday, but future action cannot be decided on, as the dispute is now practically out of the control of the executive- and in the hands of a joint committee representing the executive and districts. The first step, there- fore, will be to call a meeting of delegates. In all probability the lock-out allowance will be paid this week, but the whole situa- tion is so serious that a representative committee will have to take time to discuss it before coming to any decision. No communication bis jet been receivei by the Boilermakers' Society from the Employers' federation. More ballot papers were received, and these will probably slightly increase the majority against the acceptance of the terms of settlement. A meeting of the Joint Trades' Association will be immediately called to discuss the new situation. A meeting of the executive board of the Shipbuilding Employers' Federation will be held at Carlisle to-day to consider the situation. In Newcastle it is rumoured that certain employers will break away from the Employers' Federation and re-open their yards.

STOLEN MOTOR WHEEL t A sentence of three months imprisonment with hard labour was passed at Marlborough- street on Thursday upon John Jones. a home- ¡ less printer, who pleaded guilty to being concerned, with another man not in custody, in stealing, on the 18th inet., a motor-car spare wheel and tyre, worth LIO, belonging to Lord Lurgan, Lowndes-square. Lord Lurgan's chauffeur said that the wheel was stolen from his lordship's car, which stood for a time in Hallam-street, Portland-place, the fastening straps being, cut. I

I Benefits of New Grant I AN ABNORMAL YEAR FOR COLLEGE There was a large attendance at the annual meeting of the Court of Governors of the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire, held at the new buildings in Cathays Park. Cardiff. on Thursday, when the Ear] of Plymouth presided. On the motion of Sir John Dunca.n, seconded by Dr. W. T. Edwards, a vote of condolence with the family of the late Mr. James Waugh. H.A., was passed. The court passed special statutes giving to the corporation of each municipal borough in South Wales and Monmouthshire and the district councils of districts with. a popula- tion of not less than 3.000 power to nominate one person to be governor, and one addi- tional governor for every additional 10,000 of population. Power was also granted to the County-borough Council of Merthyr Tydfil to appoint two persons, who may or may not be members of that council, to be governors of the college. The council reported that the number of day students during the session was 630, beiiis 21 more than in the preceding session. There were. in addition, 132 students in train- ing at the South Wales and Monmouthshire Training School of Cookery and Domestic Arts, the same number as in the previous session. The total number of students in all departments was 762. a net increase of 21 on the preceding session. The council grate- fully accented the offer of the management committee of the Cardiff Infirmary of the use of rooms in the pathological department- of the new infirmary buildings for the profes- sor of pathology, and further reported that the Drapers' Company had renewed its grant of C350 per annum to the engineering department of the college for a further period of five years. [ BEHAVIOUR OF THf. STUDENTS. Principal Griffiths commented upon the fact that the year would be a memorable one in the history of the college, owing to some things that had caused regret and some that bad given satisfaction. One cause of regret was the behaviour of the students on certain occasions, which had caused deep pain to the friends of the college. But the students now regretted what had taken place, and he did not think there would be a recur- renco of the incidents. He wished to point out that the governors could not run two college buildings at the same expense as one, and until Wales provided the means it was unavoidable that their deficit would be heavy It was a matter for congratulation that the facilities given by the new building had a marked effect upon the work. conduct, arid health of the students. With the approaching completion of the research labo- ratory lie hoped they would soon be in a posi- tion to do more work there, especially as it had a small, but permanent endowment. thanks to Mr. Harry Webb. With regard to the increased grants from the Treasury, he wished to point out that they were all ear- marked, and really did not assist the finances of the college in any way. He also expressed gratification that the Thompson family had placed certain grounds at the disposal of the students for recreation purposes during the sessions, the land being available for other people during the vacations. They would be able to enter upon the ground in about a fortnight's time. Up to date they had entered 616 students, a larger number than in any session before, and they had entered 23? new students, 38 more than at that time twelvemonth, and far exceeding a,ny record in the past. A large number of students hal entered for the honours courses, and they bad five post-graduate students doing research work. A? OVERDRAFT OF kl2.289. i i ne Acting-registrar (Mr. Brown; read the report of the treasurer (Mr. H. M. Thompson) to the effect that the financial year had been abnormal. The most important feature was the ne.v grant from the Treasury. The leceipts under his head covered rather mor than a complete period of twelve months. The TIP v grant had enabled them materially to improve the stipends of the professorial La ff. to found a new chair and a new e- tureship in connection with their medico school. and generally to develop that depart- ment and render it more efficient; to make less scanty provision for the supply rf scientific apparatus and equipment; to make the grant for library purposes more adequate; to give special tutorial assist- ance to students, and. lastly, to found a generous superannuation scheme on a contributory basis for the teaching staff. Another feature that made the year an abnormal one was the occupation of the new buildings. The deficit shown on inoome account wa/8 £ 1,702, which was JE340 in excess of the corresponding figure for the previous vear, but this on!v represented eight months of the year in the new buildings. The increased deficit for the complete year of occupancy was likely to work out at more than £ 1,500, the maintenance of apparatuI:! for heating and ventilating (including wagesj representing' no less than £500. To the Y,1,702 doncit they had to add a deficit of LI385 on the cookery school, and also allowances for depreciation amounting to £ 613, making alto- aether a formidable total loss on the year's forking of £ 2,710. Even this did not repre- lient the normal loss, for it only represented the loss during eight months on the new buildings, and the cookery school deficit this vear was abnormally low, being £ 277 less than last year. All this was to be considered In conjunction with their accumulated debt. If they deducted the oredit for tne so-called sustentation fund of SIL.708, which was not really available as a sustentation fund, because it was mortgaged to the bank, their overdraft that day amoamted to £ 12,289, and this would soon be considerably increased. The contracts in connection with the new buildings were not entirely paid for, and there were (ther items to be taken into consideration. It would, therefore, be but a short time-a matter probably of months only—before they reached their overdraft of £ 20.000. which was the limit allowed by their backers in return for the security which their property was able to cover. It was, therefore, not before it was necessary that the council had appointed a special com- mittee to examine into the state of their finances. Mr. Thompson was unanimously re-elected treasurer, and, on the motion of Principal Edwards, seconded by the Rev. Gomer Lewie, a vote of thanks was accorded to the Thomp- son family for their munificence with regard to the new recreation ground. The Rev. David JDavies, M.A. (Dinas Powis), was elected a member of the council in place of the late Mr. John Cory, and the Rev. J. Morgan Jones (Cardiff), Mr. Edward Thomag I, (Cardiff), and the Rev. Gomer Lewis (Swan- sea) were elected to represent the court on the court of the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. Major-general H. H. Lee was appointed to represent the court on the Terri- torial Forces Association for the county of Glamorgan. The following twenty members of the court were e)ected:—Lord Aberdare, Sir Clifford J. Gory, Bart., M.P., Profeesor J. MOrlal s D avies. M.A. (Cardiff), Miss A. M. Dobell B.A. (Ponty- pool), Mr. D. W. Evans (Cardiff), Mr. G. A. Evans (Mountain Ash). Mr. Howell Howells (Treorky), Mrs. Robert Hughes (Sully), the II Rev. Thomas Hughes (Cardiff), Mr. Edward John (Cowbridge), Mr. Tom John, M.A. (Tony- pandy), Mr. Edgar Jones. M.A. (Barry), Mrs. J. Viriamu Jones (London), Major-general H. H. Lee (Dinas Powis), Alderman Richard Lewis (Pontypridd), Mr. Owen Owen, M.A. (Cardiff), Dr. Alfred Roes (Cardiff), Dr. T. E. Thomas (Caerphilly), Dr. Herbert Vachell (Cardiff), and Mr. Rhys Williams (Miskin Manor). Eleven members of the council were elected as follows:—Sir John Duncan, Mr. F. W. Harris (Withyham, Sussex), Dr. John Jame& (Cardiff), Major-general H. H. Lee (Dinas Powis\ the Rev. J. Gomer Lewis. D.D. (Swan- sea), Mrs. Charles Morgan (Radyr), Dr. A. I Garrod Thomas (Newport), Mr. T. H. Thomas (Cardiff), Dr. W. E Thomas (Pentre) Sir T. Marchant Williams, B.A. (Cardiff), and the Rev. W. E. Winks (Cardiff). A vote of thanks to the president was accorded, on the motion of Major-general Sir Ivor Herbert, Bart., M.P., seconded by Lieu- tenant-general Sir James Hills-Johnes, G.C.B., V.C. In responding, the Earl of Plymouth said he was pleased to preside at a meeting at which ffuch a distinct advance in the educa tional work of the oollege was reported. The financial statement was not a very rosy one, but they had not hesitated to spend moMj when they knew it was to the ultimate advan- tage of the students of the college. They trusted to the supporters of the oallegc—aud I it had some firm friends in South Wales-to uphold the work done by the council and the court.

PRISON. FOR AN ABERAVON FATHER. William Paine, Itboiirer, Corianna, Aber- avon. was charged at the I(xal court on Thnrsday with neglecting his four l children. Inspector Best, of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, deposed to visiting the house on several occasions and finding the children dirty, il-clad. and badly nourished. Defe-ndant was too lazy to work, and there was no food in the house. Dr. Hellyer, Port Talbot, corroborated. Margaret Paine, the wife was called for the prosecution, but was too ill to give evidence. Defendant was sen- tenced to six months' hard labour. CAUGHT WITHOUT A TICKET. I William Parker, labourer, of Mellon-street, Newport, who works at Ebbw Vale, was at a court in the latter town on Thursday fined 40s. for travelling on the Great Western Railway without a ticket.

Unionists & Mr. Balfour go CHIEF WHIP'S AVOWAL OF LOYALTY I Sir A. A eland-Hood, Chief Unionist Whip, addressing the Lydeard St. Lawrence Conser- vative Association (West Somerset Division) on Thursday night, said no one could say when the next election would come, but a very prominent nember of the Government had toid them that it would come as a thief in the iight. That sort of thing was rather characteristic of the financial tactics of that gentleman's party. (Laughter.) He could nor. say anything about the Conference, but be sincerely hoped it would lead to results which would be for the benefit of the country and the Empire. THE PEOPLE S BUDGET." There seemed to him to be signs of great distrust and suspicion in the ranks of the Radicals and their allies, the Socialists and the Irish. Many of them were extremely doubtful as to whether the "People's Budget was as popular as they thought it was some time a,go. especially when they found in their attaek upon the licensing trade that they were not hitting the publican alone, but the ratepayer also. THE OSBORNE JUDGMENT. They also had great doubt as to what they ought to do about the Osborne judgment. If they upheld it they were tolerably certain to j lose the Socialists' support. so valuable to them. If they went against it they would put against them a great body cf steady, honest Trades Unionists, who regarded it as contrary to all the principles of fair play. Many of them, he proceeded, had grave doubts as to whether our Imperial defences were in a satisfactory condition. People could see with their own eyes that tIe.tv.-o- 1'ower naval standard, which the Unionists achieved during their ten years of office, had been gradually whittled to something barely over a one-Power standard during the five years the Radicals had been in power. (Ap- plause. UNIONIST LOY AJJrL In all the rumours of disunion and dissen- sion in the ranks of the Unionists, there -a; not one word of truth, and there was nothing but whole-hearted loyalty knd devotion to their leader. Mr. Balfour. (Applause.) The duty of an Opposition was to oppose, that was quite true. but circumstances altered cases. They were face to face with a great crisis. The next election would be no ordi- nary election, for on it would depend not only the future of this country, but the future of the Empire.

NEATH PLAYERS I ) t The Xeath committee have received no official notification of Edgar Thomas. the all blacks clever centre, migrating to Swansea; neither have they been informed as to the possibility of Tit" Davies going North. Both men are picked to play for Neath against the Glamorgan Constabulary 'I on Saturday. The Northern Union poachers keep testing Neath players, and it is likely that Tit Davies, the all blacks' capable custodian, will succumb to a tempting offer from. it I is said. WIgan Shon is said. Evans has also been offered JS100 down, but he has declined.

Notes and Selections, I ESHER. Friday Morning. In the Sandown Foal Stakes yesterday the opposition was so moderate to Lemberp that fielders asked for prohibitive odds, and it was so difficult to divine which of eithei^+.ouvigny or Munita would follow him past the post that evens was offered against placing the ) first and second, and this was a popular I mode of speculation. Of course, it goes almost without saying that Lemberg won very easily, and as a matter of fact laaher never had occasion to take his hands off the neck of his mount. To-day the Great Sapling Plate forms the principal attraction, but there will not be a big field. Neither Pietri nor King William will meet their engage- ment. so in this case Seaforth will represent the best form of the colts, just as Knock- feerna will be the best of the so-called weaker sex. I expect the issue wil", be confined to this pair. and in expressing a slight prefe- rence for SEAFORTH. he will not have much in hand .ef the smart j filly from the Ciarehaven establishment, Other selections follow:- Trafalgar Nursery.—SMALL OWNERSHIP.

The Willows Airship 1 ———— TO ATTEMPT LONDON TO PARIS FLIGHT I In a day or two the Willows airSSip wilf b* completed and ready to undertake the long-expected flight from London to Paris. The 220-mile journey across the Channel and Northern France is to be deferred, how- ever. until a trial flight is made. Then, on any day next week. weather permitting, the little British-built dirigible will set out, pioloted by the inventor himself. Mr. E. T. Willows, whom a press repre- sentative saw yesterday at the garage in Wormwood Scrubs, entertains no doubt as to the success of his flight. I "I expect to do the journey in about twelve hours," he explained, "but I am tak- ing sufficient petrol to last twenty hours, in case the voyage lasts longer than I antici- pate. The ideal conditions are when the wind is between W. and N.E. My airship in such a breeze would be able to develop its full speed of twenty miles an hoar." The young Cardiff aeronaut also stated that he has decided on this occasion to take with him as passenger one of his assistants. The vessel in which the flight will be made is practically an improved edition of the Cardiff to London airship. The frame has been lengthened and strengthened, and I filled with a new and larger balloon O'n.1 British-made rubber cloth. It is interesting to note th-at this is the first time that cloth manufactured by a home firm is utilised in the construction of a dirigible. Mr. Willows, on nearing his destination. intends to fly to Issyles-Moulineaux. the well-known aviation ground in the environs of Paris, where a garage has been placed at his disposal by a French friend. His new airship has been named "City of Cardiff."

SCRATCHED A CONSTABLE. Mary Crowley (Z7) was charged at Cardiff on Thursday with being disorderly in Bute- street, and also with assaulting the constable who arrested her and the civilian who assisted him. She kicked Daniel Crawley. and spat in the face and scratched with her nails the features of Polioe-constable GoI. ledce. She was committed for two moatha. ) t J. :I.¡

FROM THE WESTERN MAIL.'I Delightful wea-ther prevail at Sandown Park on Thursday, the sun being in evidence throughout the proceedings. There was a attendance to witness some highly interest- ing racing, and punters did not do badly, despite the unexpected successes of Countess Mac and Chieveley. First Flight wat; a good favourite for the Orleans Jlinrsery. and other winners to bring grist to the mill were TemL- nos and Darrara. Lemberg, of course, had an easy task in the Foal Stakes. The Great Sapling Plate is the outstanding item on the Sandown card to-day, and if only the prom we the entries foreshadow is fulfilled there should be a most interesting contest. The Wheatsbeaf Handicap is another attrac- tive event. Selections:— Trafalgar Nursery—DOOR MAT. Maiden Handicap-AVENGER. Great Sapling-KNOCKFFERNA. Wheatsheaf Handicap-SKALED ORDERS.

BILLIARDS I With the Board of Control Championship match nearing its completion and the result still extremely open, the Holborn Town-hall was crowded when the game was continued on Thursday afternoon. Stevenson led by exactly 100 from the overnight position, and he went further in front by increasing an incomplete 34 to 109. hut Inman, left favour- ably placed, immediately responded with 185. which carried his figures ahead. There was a burst of cheering when the marker called the scores at 13.543 all. Tbroughout the session afterwards the players passed and re-passed each other. However, the champion speedily went to the fore once more with 133, followed with 141. these helping him to 13.896 to his rival's 13,690. Assisted by a palpable fluke. Inman put together 152. and. following it with 76. placed his total ahead again for the last time before the adjournment, despite the fact I that he later added 49 and 99, for StVtm8on. contributing 59, 176, and 104, left off at 14,251 against 14.103. 1NMAN LEADING. _I In the evening Inman bad the better of matters, scoring 880 to 643. He made a fine brea.'i of 306. and also contributed 80, 97, 151, and 103. As a consequence he secured the slight lead of 94. Stevenson contributed 94. 80. 90. and five brea,ks of 50 and over. When play ceased the scores were. INMAN 14.988 STEVENSON (in play) 14,894 BIG BREAK BY GEORGE GRAY. I In his match with Nelson at Bradford 011 Thursday George Gray, the young Austm- lian. -an to his points with an unfinished break of 645, all off the red bail. l' In th? evening he only increased hM break to 692.

NOTE TO PERSIA. + PROBABLE NATURE OF THE REPLY TO BRITAIN. TEHERAN, Thursday. The Government has not yet sent any reply to the British note. Feuter's oorrespondent learns, however, on good authority that the reply, which will probably he presented to-morrow or on Saturday, will attribute the disorders in Persia mainly to the present of foreign troops, which is stated to have an unintentional effect in encouraging reaction- ary hopes by fostering the false idea that the ex-Shah will be ros-'ored to the Throne. The most ireports nt feature of the note will be a request that the British Govern- ment should sanction an increase in the Customs by 10 per oent., in which case the Persian Government wi'l give a pledge that the surplus will be used for the restoration and maintenance of order.-Hetitei-.
