It was stated that early discharge had been decided upon in consequence of the serious condition of the convict's health, he being described as a complete wreck. On inquiry at the chambers of Mr. Jolin O'Connor, M.P, the barrister who conducted the defence of the convict, it was stated that that gentleman had received no communication from the Home Office on the subject,
Mrs. Kruger.
Mrs. Kruger, the wife of the President, is a woman of very few words. Though a devoted mother, she takes absolutely no interest in her hushant's schemes or affairs of State, fudeed, if the truth were told, she looks upon all the present trouble as much ado about nothing." She has an extraordinary aversion to medical men, though she is ever in search of a patent remedy for her chronic complaint-rheumatism, and anyone who succeeds in recommending even a temporary cure earns her most profound regard,
Seized with paralysis Sir Edward Wingfield, Permanent Under- Secretary at the Colonial Office, has been scized with paralysis, and is not expected to be able to resume his duties for a considemble tinie. It was stated on 27th alt at the Colo- nial Office that the patient was going on well. Sir Edward Wingfield, who is sixty-five years of age, recently, had his period of service extended for two years, in recognition of the valuable work he had performed while at Downing-street. He was appointed Assistant Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies in 1878, and became Pennanent Under-Secretary on March 1st, 1897. He was made a Knight Companion of the Bath last New Year's Day.
Relics of Nelson
The sword worn by Nelson, which the late Sir William Fraser bequeathed to the United Service Club, is now in position underneath the portrait of the great naval commander, and it forms a valuable addition to the Nelson relics which are so much cherished in the service, The United Service Institution have long bad on exhibition at their museum in Whitehall the sword which Nelson used when boarding the San Josef at Cape St. Vincent; while Lord sword. Hitherto clubland has not been up-to- Northesk is the proud possessor of the Trafalgar date in this respect, and the "seniors' therefore delighted with their legacy. Another memento is the beautiful miniature of Emma, Lady Hamilton, which occupies the place of honour over the mantelpiece in the dining-room of the Army and Navy Club. Inasmuch as this was hung in Nelson's state-room in the Victory, it was probably one of the last objects upon which his eyes rested before the commence- ment of the action in which he lost his life.

Another Arotic Expedition. Before the expiration of this month another Arctic expedition will leave England. It will be the Jeaffreson Chownes Expedition, which is now rapidly fitting out, Mr. Joseph Russell Jeaffreson, the leader, is a son of Dr. Jeaffreson, of Leamington, and has previously been in search of the North Pole, having made a northem journey in 1897. Mr. Chawne is a novice at Arclic exploration. The expedition will go from this, country to Archangel, and then, as soon as the condition of the country pernits, will proceed in sledges to some of the most unknown parts of Siberia. From Archangel part of the distance will be covered by steamer if the ice is not already firm in the Kara Straits. The idea of the undertaking is not so much to reach the Pole as to explore unknown districts in the Samoyede l'eninsula, and to observe the habits of the natives.
Excavations at Hedsor,
As was anticipated, the excavations at Hedsor (Bucks), on the site of the ancient pile dwellings, have yielded much that is valuable to the anti- quarian and archeologist. In the trial open- ings a few flint arrow-hends and the skeleton of a horse have Been found; and in another part were discovered speciniens of pottery of Roman, medieval, and British origin, and osseous remains of sheep, goats, cows, and pigs, whose carcases are thought to have provided food for the colony. Some of the piles unearthed are of large dismensions, one of them having been very accurately squared before insertion Upon the bones of the animals referred to distinct knife-marks can be traced, even after the lapse of centuries,

The relative are energy of the British and foreign warships has recently been commented upon by a writer in a London daily in terms tint allowed the foreign vessels material ad- vantage. Thus, the battleship Formidable is credited with a tire energy of 34'34 foot tons per ton of displacement, the ships of the Dan-
en class with 3498, the Japanese battleship Skikishia with 3807, the Russian Petropan fough with 45°10, and the Kaiser Friedrich 111. with the enormous relative fire energy of 53,64. As regards cruisers, British vessels are said to be even weaker in fire energy, the relative disadvantage ton for ton being more market. Thus, the fire energy of the Cressy is put at 32'35 foot tons per ton of displacement, and of the new Powerfuls at 2977. Certain foreign cruisers are selected support the unfavour able comparison, such as the French cruiser Desaix with a fire energy of 3281, the Japanese Asama with 55-99, and the Italian Francesco Ferrucio, with 6216 foot tons. These cal. culations, culled from Brassey's Annual," arc, says a service contemporary, based on the assumption that every gun could be discharged at its nominal rate of speed, and the method seems to us to leave the man behind the gum. far too much out of the reckoning.

In the Southern League there were only half dozen games, and the scoring was not heavy. Swindon followed up last week's defeat of Southampton by beating Millwall, and Southampton played up to last season's form by beating Bristol City at Bristol.
Middle Europe is gradually asserting itself as a new touring ground for English footballers. Last Easter the Oxford University Association teain played a series of four matches, two in Prague and two in Vienna. Originally the programme included a visit to Berlin, but for some reason or other that city had ultimately to be omitted. This winter the Berliners are not going to de deprived of the sight of an English Association team at work. They have already arranged for the visit of the Richmond Association Club next Easter. The matches are to be-April 13, v. Prussia: April 15, . Students' team; April 16, v. Berlin Football Association. All three are to be play- ed in Berlin.

In the new Russian cruiser which is to be laid down at Windat an attempt is evidently being made to outmatch our Hermes class. The Hermes carries eleven 6 in. quick-firers, six of which fire on the broadside. The Rus sian ship will carry twelve, but eight will fire on the broadside, since four of the guns will be mounted in pairs in turrets fore and aft engines will be just twice as powerful as the Hermes, developing 20,000 horse power against Liverpool the British cruiser's 10,000, and giving a speed Derby County of 13 knots against the Hermes' 20. The Russian vessel is a newer design, and has the advantage of being 735 tons larger than her
British rival.

Holland's claim to Mapin..
THE HAGUE, September 27th. The Government of the Netherlands has communicated to the Chamber of Deputies the diplomatic history of Holland's claim to the possession of the Mapia islands, which are also claimed by Spain as belonging to the Carolines.
From this record it appears that when Ger- many purchased the Carolines, Holland re- quested Spain to communicate, to Emperor William the notes exchanged on the subject between Spain and Holland. The former re- plied that Emperor William had assured the Spanish Government that he would be guided by his feelings of friendship toward Holland.
