THE LATE MR L. D. TEBB,
A brist Last Monday we published obituary Announcement regarding the death of Mr. Lawthwaite Dewar Tobb. From Shanghai papers we learn that the and event was due to typhoid. Mr Tebb, who was over 30 years of age, had been several years in the service of Messrs Jardine, Matheson and C. He was first stationed at Shanghai, then at Yokohama, whence he went to Tlentair, and after wards to Hongkong where he has charge of the book offico. Three months ago he was transferred to the firm's Shanghai office, and was taken sick in the early part of last month. He was bative of Glasgow, and leaves a wife and child, who are st.

It is expected that the proceedings at the Conference will be lively, and the result is doubtful, possibly split in the Miners' Federation.
At many meeting held yesterday leaders were heckled for their advice to
resume work.
The Welsh miners' lender, Mr Horts- horn, said he would have called out the transport and other organisations to assist the miners, but it was now the duty of the men to resume and be loyal to the Federation; whose very existence wea at stake.
