LOCAL FEUD.

In a letter to his constituents he says:—

"Although I have had a re- markable recovery I am compell. ed at the age of 67 to realise I can- not expect to be able to continue the strenuous life I have lived for the last forty years. I must seek rest from the arduous work of the House of Commons with its long hours and late sittings." Mr. Snowden would have asked leave to retire earlier, but when the International financial crisis arose he felt it his duty to re- main in office to see things through these difficulties.

The inci- dent occurred in a railway train. The intruder was a Muslim ser- vant of another European paSSON- ger who entered Lieut. Welchman's compartment unintentionally.
