murdered when soldiers attempted to rescue Thim.

About a week before this date, Lhe father of Mr. Philips called at the London Offices of the Asiatic Petroleum Company and inquired whether any news had been re- fceived with regard to his son. He was informed that so far as the Company knew he was in good health. In response to an inquiry as to why he asked, he admitted that he felt very uncasy,
He said he had had a vivid dream in which he saw his son being shot and then throws into the water, and the impression jeft on him was so strong that he felt compelled to call at the offices of the Company and inquire. The Company, however, reassured him to the best of their ability and he went away,
Several days afterwards the telegram "set out above appeared in the papers and the information was reported by telegraph to the Asiatic Petroleum Company in London, who had to notify the
father.

The girl in her evidence this morning admitted that her mother Endopted defendant from a young age, but totally denied her visits with the complainant to house. She said the man was a stranger to her.

Defendant then altered his state ment by saying that he heard of the friendship from Another man, and in regard to the money he said this was handed to him voluntarily, His Worship held that both widos had not told the truth and there was something which had not been divulged. Defendant was therefore discharged,

Attitude of Miners.
Rugby, July 8,
With the prospect of the Cont Mines Bill receiving Royal assent to-night much interest is being displayed in the attitude of the miners toward the new offers by the owners of 'pre-strike wages | for a longer day's work.
Reports indicate that at pre- sent Hittle inclination for a return to work is shown in the coal fields, but it, will be impossible to gauge the full effect of the new development for some days.
The newspapers state that the opposition voiced by the miners is directed against the fact that the offers are made by districts and not nationally rather than against the increase of the work- ing hours.
