)o‘ Many Thousands Watch Aeron- r aut's Trip. l Al London despatch says: On Thurs- da afternoon, many thousands 0! ho e-going business men stopped in the streets, and the roofs of build- in were crowded with spectators Iva tching the longâ€"projected attempt 0 Spencer, the aorouaut, to sail his 'rship from the Crystal Palace in ydenham around St. Paul‘s Ca- hedral and over miles of the densely uilt portion of South London. He tarted at 3.30 from the roof of an ‘offlce building. His airship was a. great cigar-shaped vessel of yellow ilk, with a pendant car containing 6 propeller. Spencer’s movements it re easily visible to the crowd be- To Safeguard Animals From Foot and Mouth Disease. A Berlin despatch says: Professor Loefller, of Grelfswald, has sent in a. report to the Government on the re- sults of his investigation of the foot and mouth disease among cattle. He says that a means has been found to protect the animals While in stables from contamination by the use of small doses of serum. He advises the inoculation of all cattle bought on the market. and he says if they are treated with the serum they are safe from infection. The European Continental crop has turned out better than expected, but the English crop has been a failure. The dealers in Toronto so far have found a fairly satisfactory market in England for Canadian apples, hut ately have met with considerable ompetition from the New England roduct, the exports from the United tates ports being much in excess of those of the corresponding period last year. But from New England a ('onâ€" slderable quantity of immature and poor fruit has been forwarded, which has to be sold below the market levâ€" el, and has depressed the values in the Old Country 3, little.

A good many fall pies have already been marketed, but those who have delayed selling t eir crop are in danger of losing c nsiderable money on it by reason 0 the scarcity of barrels, of which 0!, nearly enough can be had to ontain all the crop available for ex- ort. As the crop this fall is fully two eeks ahead of last year‘s, some reenings have already been export~ to England, as well as many housands of barrels of the fall varic- ies. The total returns of the shipâ€" ents forwarded from the port of ontreal show that 48,998 barrels have been sent to Europe, against 95,431 the same period last fall. it' is a good deal heavier than last 5 ason in the eastern part of the pro- vi cc, while in the West it is a little b low the average, both in quantity Not Enough for the Crop Avail- able for Export. A Toronto despatch says: The latr‘est information regarding the On- tatrio apple crop is to the effect that ’l‘he simile of a bombshell was never more applicable to a political event in Great ’Brltain than that of the resignation of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain. The retirement of Mr. Ritchie as Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, and of Lord George Ham-ilâ€" ton, as Secretary of State for Inâ€" dia, was quite unexpected, while the withdrawal of Lord Balfour of Burleigh, as Secretary for Scotland, and possibly even of the Duke of Devonshire, as Lord President of the Council, have been equally foretold, and are still looked forward to. But neither friend nor foe dreamed that the Colonial Secretary would sever' his connection with a Government of which he was regarded as the backâ€" bone. Notwithstanding, however, that it Was wholly unanticipated, there is widespread commendation of the course the Colonial Secretary has taken. The Ministerial Standard. which opposed with almost radical vehe‘mmce the preferential {aria pro- posal, now says Mr. Chamberlain APPLE BARRELS SCARCE.

Collins, civil engineer, of Ottawa, Who has just returned from the head waters of the Gatineau River, re- ports that he has discovered a seam of coal 27 feet Wide and extending for over one hundred miles. He says that the coal is equal in quality to the Welsh anthracite which was im- ported to Canada last winter. An Ashtabula, Ohio, dospatch says: The Canadian patrol steamer Petrol early on Wednesday lifted and con- fiscated a number of fish nets belong- ing to American fishermen in Lake Erie. It is supposed the officers of the Petrel decided that the nets were set on the Canadian side of the line. This, however, is denied by the fish- ermen. The nets were valued at $2,- 000. Grain Man’s Estimate of the World’s Wheat Shortage. A London despatch says :â€"-Mr. Thomas Thom, of the Liverpool Corn Exchange, has estimated this year's shortage in the ‘world's wheat avail- able for British needs at 36,000,000 bushels. Canada's average export of wheat to Britain during the past six years was only six million bushâ€" els, Mr. Thom contends that any deficiency can scarcely be supplied from Canada and declares that the natural outlet from Manitoba and Alberta is the Pacific Ocean, to meet the increasing bread wants of China, Japan and the Phllllppines, Mr. Thom thinks that those who expect sufficient supplies from Canada's North-west are doomed to disap~ pointment.

A Toronto despatch says: Georgi Woolsonn the wellâ€"known jeweler, who managed the store owned b] his wife and known as the “Whit: Window." at 186 Queen Street west. committed suicide by shooting him~ self through the head, his body be ing found lying in the road in High Park, on Thursday afternoon 1)) ‘Kelsey Moore, of 9 Northcote Av- ‘enue. It was evident that the deed had been committed during Wednes- day night, for the clothes were wet and the revolver found in the right hand was slightly rusted from thq rain. A hand mirror was also found beside the body. It is supposed that he used the mirror so that ht Would be sure to place the muzzle oi the revolver on the right spot. The bullet entered the right side of the head, slightly back from the temple. and lodged in the head. The hole made by the bullet. was surrounded by powder, from which it is evident that the revolver was held right against the head. Meanwhile the three casualties had taken place. Miss Morrell, the wait- ress, had become badin frightened and jumped overboard. Fred Dow;- ney, the deck-hand, who lost his life, had become penned in the flames a: he reached the deck rail. The Eng- lish lad, Stephen Hood Rowan, wax in care of his aunt. Miss Rowan, 01 St. John, and was on a pleasurq trip. He climbed over the rail to reach a boat, but either fell 0) jumped boldly, for he, too, Wm drowned. Robert Friera, the kitcher boy, had a remarkable escape. Ht was asleep below when the fire brolu out, and everybody forgot him. H! was aroused by the crackling of th( fire, and rushing out to find his wag to the deck cut oil by the flames. H( returned to his room and got out o the window into the water an: swam ashore. DEATH RATHER THAN TRIAI The vessel was.then all allre amid- ships, and the flames were eating their Way fore and aft. The boats were plying from the afterpart to the shore, and men and women alike had to clamber from the upper deck over the rail to the boats. Many Were saved in this way. Capt. Day had, on learning of the fire, placed Mate William Whelpley in charge of the wheel with order: to beach the steamer, while the cap- tain took command of the ship's boat. The flames prevented launch. ing of one, but the second was soon in the water, and a load of passenâ€" gers hurried ashore. Two or three trips were made, aided by boats from shore, and meanwhile the flaming vessel was pointing bow on for the beach, where she was grounded, but Whelpley did not get her there with- out a display of heroism. The flames had reached the wheel house and it. looked as i! he would have to leave his post, but he stuck to it until the steamer’s none was on the shore. The David Watson was on her re gulnr trip from Fredericton to thil city, and carried about 40 passow gors, 18 officers and crew, nnd had a large freight cargo and Lip-rive! mails. All went as usual until about three o'clock, when ofi Craig's Point, fire was discoxrered among some bales of hay on the lower deck. It is sup- posed a. careless smoker was the cause of the fire. Quick as was it: discovery, and quick as action to put it out was taken, nothing could I)! done. The engineer had connected with the pumps at once, but almost before the stream could be raised he was driven from his post by the flames. Feeding on the hay and on the dr}r and oilâ€"soaked woodwork ol the steamer, the fire spread with the rapidity of lightning, and in five minutes the hull was ablaze.
