Iiis Financial Advisers Have lilatle Some Profitable Ventures. A despatch from London says: When the Prince of Wales next year attains to his twentyâ€"first birthday he will enter into the personal oon~ trol of the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall, now being- administerâ€" ed for him by the King, and the acâ€" cumulations of which will represent a. neepcgg of over £1,000,000 ster- ling. From an authoritative finan- cml source it. is learned that advanâ€" tage is being taken of the present: state of the markets to make con- siderable investments in securities, which two trustees of the Cornwall Duchy est-ate consider bargains at the present prices. These trust-cos. who are inspired and guided by Lord Revel stoke 6i uce King George’s. accession have already done very well for the Prince. Not. very long ago they purchased £80,- 000 wort-h of securities, which have appreciated in the. past. six months in capital value'by 1 per cent... Though King George is by no means on the same close and friendly relaâ€" tions with prominent. and influen- tial personalities in the financial world as was his. father. King Ed- ward. his Majesty nevertheless has many sources open to him through which he can carry on financial op- cratii us under vastly more favor- able conditions than the ordinary investor. and the probability is that. ~the value of the Prince of \Yales’ investment capital when it is made over to him next year will be con- siderably over £1,000,000 sterling. DOCK AT PORT ARTHI'R GONE. Cargo From the Me'ch Now Lies in 20 Feet of Mud. A desvpatch from Port Arthur says: A section of the Port Arthur C.N.R. steel dock, about 70 feet square, and containing about- 3,102 tons of steel rails, collapsed at 11 o’clock Saturday night. The dock is practically new, having been built only three years ago, and it is believed that the accident was due to defective timbers. A few hours previous to the sinking a load of rails from the steamer McKee was placed on the. section which colâ€" lapsed. The water under the dock is 20 feet deep, and although the bottom is hard, it is believed that the steels have sunk several feet into the ground. >I< POSTAL REYES I‘ E GROWS. zit. ihc Montreal Show Increase.

The increase in revenue came from sale of stamps, newsâ€" paper postage and permits. l Flinn PERS 0N8 DROWNED Tragedy Occurred on Ly rm Canal, From Skagway. A (ls-«patch from Tacoma, Wash.

A despatch from Ottawa. says: Unemployed immigrants in Cami-- dian cities who have been in Can- ada. less than three years and have. become public charges will be deâ€" ported by the Immigration Depart ment under the Act after notifica- tion by the secretary of the muni- cipality concerned. This was the announcement made by Mr. W. D. Scott. Superintendent of Immigra- tion, and it furnishes a possible solution of some of the labor trouâ€" bles which Canadian cities are ex« pcriencing just now. By far the largest. proportion of those out. of work in Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg and other cenâ€" tres are foreigners, and of these many have come to Canada within the last. three years. If the score- tary of the city certifies that. cerâ€" tain of these people have. become public chargesâ€"that is. have ac cepted charity or relief from chari- table institutionsâ€"the department,- will carry out that. clause of the Immigration Act which provides for their deportation at. the expense of the transportation company which brought them here. This announcement was made by Mr. Scott to a. delegation of Bul- garians and Ruthenians which wait- ed on him in regard to the problem of finding employment. The work- ings of the Immigration Act. were explained to them. and they were told that. it. would be strictly «en~ forced. They were, however, all offered employment on farms if they were willing to take it up, and this proposal will be considered by them . -â€"â€"'I< JO SEPII CHAMBERLAIN DEAD . British Statesman Called at the Age of 78 with Great Sulldcnness. A despatch from London says: Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain died suddenly at his London residence, at 10.30 on Thursday night. The death of Mr. Chamberlain, which removes one of the most; striking figures from British politics in the past generation, came as an entire surprise, as the condition of his health was not publicly known to be any worse than at any time in the past two or three years. Mrs. Chamberlain, who never left. her husband’s side since he was stricken with paralysis seven years ago, and his son, Austen Chamberlain, were with Mr. Chamberlain when death occurred at 10.30 o’clock Thursday night, at; his London residence. The event. cast a, gloom over the London season, which is at. its height. Mr. Chamberlain’s last public appear- ance was at. a garden party on the grounds of his Birmingham home, on May 613st, when, with his wife and son, he received several hun~ dred constituents. Mr. Chamber- lain was wheeled out on the lawn and appeared very emaciated and feeble when he lifted his hat. to friends and neighbors in acknow- ledgment of their salutes. ._â€"â€"â€"vI< SLAIN BY BOMB. Had Been Mnuulzu-turcd for Use Against John D. Rockefeller. A diespatc-h from New Yorks says : An infernal machine of tremendous power, supposed to have been com- pleted early Saturday morning for use at Tarrytown Monday, when the dozen or more chief Industrial Workers of the World agitators reâ€" cently arrested near the summer home of John D. Rockefeller, were arraigned, exploded a few minutes after 9 o’clock Saturday morning on the top floor rooms of the flat house at 6626 Lexington Avenue. Three young Anarchists. all iden- tified with the recent disturbances of the unemployed, and all impliâ€" cated in the disturbances near Rockefeller's home at Tarrytown. and a woman living in the rooms next to theirs were killed. two An~ archists being shattered to pieces that. later were gathered and wrapâ€" ped in newspapers. ___»}B___ I‘ISHES BODY FROM RIVER. T\ventv Mileleoul Play is Feared in Death of Frank O’Lcary. A dcspatch from Haileybury says: While angling at the end of the Hailcybury wharf Joe Sherill fished up a body at the end of his line. It had apparently been in the water some time. but. was identified as that of Frank O'Leary. a camp cock. Sherill’s line hook caught, in the clothingr and the fisherman W01]â€" dcrcd what had happened, until the body came to the surface. From the appearance of the body foul play is feared in the death of O'Leary. There is a. wound on the back of the head. Doctors think this was sustained before he got into the w: ‘er. Capt.

Fell 011‘ Fifty-three Per Cent. in Intended for a Long Time to Kill April and May. A despa’och from Ottawa says: Immigration returns for April and May, the finst two months of the present fiscal’ year, show a, decrease of no less than 78,270, or 53 per cent., as compared with April and May of last year. The total for the two months was 68,158, including 20,375 British, 20,713 American and 27,065 from other countries. The total immigration for the year is likely to be less than 150,000, or back to where it was some ten years ago. The decrease is mostly in im- migration from Great Britain, which declined by 36,565, or nearly 65 per cent, as compared with the corresponding two months of last year. The falling off in immigration from the United States was 12,794, and in immigration from other. for- eign countries it was 28,911. .____»x<._____ ENGLISH BARONET DROWNED. Midnight River Party on Thames Ends in a Tragedy. A despatoh from London says: A gay midnight river party ended in a. tragedy in the small hours of Friday morning when the young baronet, Sir Denis Anson, and a bandsman, who tried to rescue him, were drowned in the Thames off Battersea Church, while the young Count Constantin Benckendorff, a son of the Russian Ambassador, who went to the aid of the. other two, had the narrowest. kind of an escape. >I‘ w1.\"s cnoss or HONOR.

A despa/tch from Washington says : Presentation of the American Cross of Honor to Coxwain Sidney Harâ€" ris, of the British Lifeâ€"Saving Serâ€" vice, was announced on Wednesday by Thomas Herndon, president of the society. Ambaseador Page pre- sented the cross through the Duke of Northumberland, president of the Royal National Life Boat.

A despat’czh from Sarajevo says: Martial law has been proclaimed at Tuzla and Naglaj because of the serious rioting in these towns, where much Servian property has been destroyed. The preliminary examination by a Magistrate into the assassination of the Archduke and his wife show- ed that. it. had been the intention oi Prinzip to commit the deed at the time of the manoeuvres at. Tarsini, but. the attempt was abandoned owing to the strict military guard which prevented any outsider from. approaching rthe Archduke. During the preliminary examination Prin- zip gloried in his guilt. He des- cvribed the killing of the couple, and declared that it. had been his intention for a. long time to kill a prominent Austrian. He had read much Anarchistic literature and had become convinced that there could be nothing on earth finer than to be an assassin. “I do not regret. the deed,” he said. “I had not-hing to do with the ' bomb attack. When I heard the explosion I exclaimed: ‘There are still people who feel and think as I do.’ This strengthened my resolve. still further.” No evidence has yet been found against any of the other persons arrested, with the exception of Ga- brinovics. They were taken into custody because of their personal acquaintance with the assassins. ex;â€" FARMER SHOT DEAD. Angry Chinaman Kills IIim at Bromhcad, Sask. A despatch from Estevan, Sas- katchewan, says: Geo. Bidler, a farmer, was shot and killed on Tuesday evening at Bromhead by Lee Ban, 3. Chinese restaurant pro- prietor. The Chinaman was arrest.- ed, and appeared on preliminary trial before Magistrate Spera, who committed him for trial. Bidler had been drinking during the day, and late in the afternoon proceeded to the Chinaman’s, where he threa- tened to clean out. the place. Lee Han told him to stand off, and backed toward the rear door to get out of the way of Bidler, who con- tinued to advance, and as the Chinaman could not get. out of his way, after warning Bidler he would shoot, he fired the shot, killing Bid- ler instantly. Threats were made to lynch the Chinaman, and the po- lice to avoid trouble, hurried the other Chinamen out of the town to Estevan. 'I‘_._. STA )1 l’ R I: (' iii P'l' S HEAVY.
