THE KING TI} VISIT CANADA May Take Western Route to India, Where He Will Be Crowned Emperor ‘ 'A despatch from Montreal says: 'A special to The Herald from Ot- tawa says :â€"â€"“It is reported here, from a reliable source, that a visit will be made to this country by his Majesty King George. The King will visit Canada en route for India, Where he will be crowned as Em- peror. His Majesty will visit all important cities in the Dominion during his journey across the country, and will sail for India from Vancouver.” Should this report prove to be true, the event it forecasts will Serious Charges Made Against Win- nipeg Associated Charities. A despatch from Winnipeg says: John E. Hvetherington, an English- man, collapsed in the police cells after three days’ imprisonment awaiting trial on a charge of vag- rancy, preferred by the Associated Charities, and died on Wednesday. Secretary Folke had the man ar- rested, claiming he would not work. Hetherington said he was sick. His wife, who has three children, pleadâ€" ed for bail while her husband was awaiting trial, but was refused. She claimed he was ill and had worked when he was able and was kind to her. In a statement to the papers the wife says her husband had been murdered by the Associ ated Charities. N0 doctor was called to the statioh when the man collapsed. The Coroner is investi- gating, and the Sons of England have taken up the case. Between 60 and 70 Dead and Injur- ed by Earthquake. A despatch from Mexico City says: Sixtyâ€"three were killed, sev- enty-five wounded and property worth $100,000 was wrecked on Wednesday by an earthquake shock, which shook the Mexican capital and injected a, note of tra- gedy into what was to be a day of [Eur-e rejoicing over the arrival of rancisco I. Madero, jun. At Buf- favista. the railway tracks wére twisted. The shock was followed by an explosion of gas at the artil- lery barracks, which added. horror to the scene. The oscillations moved from north to south, and opened fissures in the streets. The adobe houses crumpled, but the dead in these cannot be numbered at present. Women Killed and Man Seriously Hurt at Annapolis. A despatch from Annapolis, N. 8., says: A fatal automobile acci- dent occurred on Wednesday near Round Hill. While Mr. L. D. Shafnet, of Bridgetown, was bring- ing‘ a party to Annapolis, consist- ing of himself, Mrs. Shafner, Mrs. ‘Abram Young and Percy Burns, all of Bridgeton, the automobile cap- sized, almost instantly killing Mrs. Young and seriously injuring Mr. Burns. Mr. Young was telephoned 'A d-espatch from Toronto says: Mr. S. C. Ells, one of the Depart- ment of the Interior geological stafi, started on Wednesday from Cochrane, Ont., with {our compan- ions on a. trip of exploration that will extend as far north as James Bay._ They are acting in the inter- est of both the Federal Govern- ment and the 'lemiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway Com- mission, and will be in the field constantly from now .until October next, when they will return and deliver a. report on the nature of the country. which will have con- siderable effect on the question of building a railway through the region.

King George will tour ‘Canada, beâ€" fore the end of thIS year, for he is to arrive in Bombay on December 2, and make his State entry into Del- hi on . December '7. He is to be crowned on December 12. Plans have been made to enable one hun- dred thousand persons to see the ceremony. The King is to reach Calcutta on December 30. for, but before his arrival his wife was dead. Japanese Deputation for Corona- tion Arrived Wednesday. A despatch from London says: One of the chief events of Wednes- day was the arrival of the Japan- ese deputation to the, Coronation, including Prince and Princess Hi- gashi Fushimi, the Prince repreâ€" senting the Emperor, and the Ja- panese war heroes, Admiral Togo and General Nogi. There was no official reception, because the depuâ€" tation is not due officially until June 19. The Prince and Princess will spend the intervening time at Eastbourne, a watering place on the coast of Sussex, while Admiral Togo and General Nogi will remain in London. The two war veterans were cheered as they drove around ‘Hyde Park in the afternoon. Queen Mary on Wednesday reâ€" ceived at Buckingham Palace the committee representing the Marys of the Empire, who presented to her Majesty their Coronation giftâ€" a check for $60,000. Killed His Infant Child, Barricad- cd House and Suicidal. A dvespatch from Halle, Saxony, says: A painter named Hei’oel at daybreak, on Wednesday, entered a. house where his wife, with whom he had quarreled, was sheltered by a woman friend, and shot both woâ€" men and his infant child. He then barricaded the house and stood off the police for three hours. Finally the ofiicers prepared to force the door and let in a pack of savage dogs, whereupon the painter killed hixiself. Speed to be Attained by Trains in England With New Device. A despatch from London says: Experts in behalf of large British railroads have reported favorably upon the invention of a safety apâ€" pliance which is a. modification of the bovgie principle. The invention practically makes impossible the de- railment of trains while rounding curves, thus allowing increased speed. It is claimed that it will enable trains to make the 185 miles between London and Manchester in two hours. the southern shore of James Bay, looking both to possibilities for na- vigation and resources of agricul- ture. All the chief rivers on the north side of the Height of Land empty into the Moose estuary, and the expedition will strive to ascer< tain the extent of the annual de- posits of silt at this point, which are believed to leave a wilderness ,of shallows on the‘southern shore of the bay when the tide is out:~' If they can find a harbor where the water is deep enough for ships, and at the same accessible to the land for a railway, it will have consid- erable bearing on the negotiations to obtain a Hudson’s Bay port for Ontario from Manitoba, as it may 1thus be rendered unnecessary to lask the other province to give up lany of its territory. ‘ TOGO AND NOGI CHEERED.
