London, June 28.

A man whose mitior adventures included being carried in the mouth of n wounded Hon, and being assegnied by natives during In quarrel over ivory, died to-day, in the person of Aloysius Horn. the famous trader and plonser of a crowded life of thrills in

Alfred Aloysius Iforn, trader in and wanderer

and Africa author, was born in Lancashiro In 1851, and 20 years later went out to West Africa in the service of a Liverpool steamship com-

almost himself off entirely from civilisation. He went as Henr becoming a native as a white man could, and his Intimacy with the native chlofs was only equalled by his intimney with wild animals.

Some years after the war was over, Horn, then an old, grey- bearded pedlar, walked through Johannesburg tryink to Bell gridirons. Among the houses at which he called was that of Mrs. Ethelreda Lewis. From gridirona their conversation turned natives

It was a strange bouk, telling of extraordinary experiences and throwing novel Aidelights on West African life, with touches of philosophy peculiar to the

author. But, though Horn had the gift for telling tales of thrilling adventure, his education had not gone far. and Mrs. Lewis had refrained from interfering with his odd twists of language and qualat ways of ex- pressing himself. The very naivete of the work led some readers decinre, while admitting it to be highly entertaining, that it "too good to be truc Thin Horn resented, and immediately showed himself to the world by making u long lecturing tour, particularly in the US.

TRADE WITH PERSIA.

STATEMENT IN LORDS ON BRITISH POSITION.

London, June 20.

A statement on the situation regarding British trade relations with Perais was made by Lord Parmoor on behalf of the Govern- ment in the House of Lords last night, in reply to a speech by Lord Lamington, who called attention to the effects of the monopoly es- tablished by the Porslan Govern- ment.

Lord Parmoor said the Govern- ment desired prosperity and peace Persia, 凯转 independent

iR

Negotiations had been proceeding

for some time with the object of concluding a general and com- mercial treaty. A measure of agreement had been reached, and the Government were confidant that if Persin so desired, the nogotiations could be brought to an early and successful end."

Exchange control in Perain was unfavourable to British trade, and the trade monopoly, laws had placed restrictions upon Imports. Representations had been made by

the British Minister at Toheran on the exchange regulations, and their adverse effect on trade. Further legislation of February and March this year had brought all foreign trada with Persia to standstill.

The reason which the Persian Government had given for hair trada monopoly was the acuto economic crises in their country. The British Governmont did not desire to embarrass Porsin if the restrictions did not outlast the emergency, and if British trada was not in practice to be handicap. pad in meeting the competition of other countries-British Wireless.
