Mur- ray of the department of combustibles the prompt discovery and the inmme- diate immersion of the box ini the water at the end of the pier by the de- tectives who found it was ail that pre- vented the explosion of the dynamite, and the destruction of the pier, with the mnany persons who had gathered, to sail or bid friends, and relatives good-bye. The biack powder fuse lea.dig to the detonatîng medium was .lvund to be scorched, showing that it had been ignited. A second's delay in the extinction of the fuse would have mneant the explosion of the whole charge. The discover? of the machine was due to the following letter, address- cd "Commissioner Greene, Police De- partment, City," which was received at Prolice Hieadquarters at 12.15 p. M. Dear S'r,-'fhe Mafia greets you and wishes you well. At the Cunard dock is a box containing one hundred pounds of dynamite. Inside also is a machine that, properly set, can ex- plode the stuif any time within thirty- six hours. The society has declared war againat England and has ordered the destruction of every steamer fly- ing the British flag that sails out of New York harbor. The undersigned received orders to begin operatLons by sinking the Oceanic, but so niany wo- mnen and children took passage on tha boat that the society's planîs were changed at the lasi. moment. The nma- chine in the box, the irst made, and a crude affair, is inclobed siLTply to show bow easy il is te siiik a steam-er and te convîÎnce tîtose interecsted tint tUe soci1ety 1is net mc ing idie thrcats.

P.S.-The battery is not attached. 1The fuse is without caps and lighters not set, consequently there is no dlan- ger in handling box. The detectives, Captain Watson and Mr. Floyd immediately begzan a ray arrived with two assistants h fouLl.d the imen carefully keeping thi box suibmerged. To the astonishment of Superinteui dent Murray, it was found that th, end of the fuse was scorched and burr cd down for about a quarter of an inch suggesting that the clockwork had re Ieased the lever just before the steame 1sailed. He expressed the opinion late that had the box not been put in th water at the precise moment it wa done an explosion would have occur tr-ed. The fuse, lie said, was sa shor that it would have required hardi more than a second for it to reach th detonating medium, which was suppos ed to have been gunpowder and -un ýcottcrn packed around the dvnamiti Superintendent Murray declined to sa exactly what the detonating meditir c-±,but assured the newspaper m jitit surely would have proved ii ~fficim~cy.

DaviM Milis,' tustice of the -Supreme Court, died ;uddenly lasi night at his residence kere. Ile'was sitting quietly with his lamily ai home, and death overtook lim,#before medical aid arrived. The loctor thinks that it was the bursiing Âf a blood vessel which caused death. Mr. Milîs began life as a schtool teacher, and for a time, Ueld the post of Superintendent of Schools in Kent intil 1865. After being called 10 the Bar he practised for a trne as a niem- ber of the firm ocd Parke & Purdom, London, and later in partnership with his son. He was elected a member of tUe Council of Public Instruction of Ontario in 1875, and on the establish- ment of tUe law faculty in the Univer- sity of Toronto was chosen to fili tUe chair in constitutional and interna- tional law, a subject in wvicU he also mande many illuminating speeches in tUe Commons. Some of the latest works Ir his pen were tUe "English in Africa" and articles in the Empire Re- view dealing w' th the relation be- tween Great Britain and the United States in Central America, particular- *ly on the subjeci of tUe canal treaty. Mr. Milîs was the author of severai *brochures on political siiects, wrote -extensively in magazines and news- papers, while many beaniniful verses, recently pubiished in book form, testi- ffied ta the gentlencss and kindness osf his nature, and his poeîic temnpera- ment. > As a Parliamentarian Mr. Milis' Darcer was ejutally çitx~ihe.En- eting the 1Hocuse ofCiCmn'ns at con- ederatio.n as inember for 1Betli\ell, Uc 1.l at conitinuously for -hat cusntîtuetîcy k antil 1896, w':îb tUe exceptinnof one t i essýion after the geucral election of t 1882.

THREATENED WITH DEATH. Negro Postmat'i Ordered Not to Maice An ther Trip. Washington, May .-An outrage similar in detail t0 that wbich occur- red ai Indianola, Miss., wvas brougbt to the attention of ihe Post- cnaster-General by a îeiegram frora Gallatin, Tenn., announcing that John C.

On receipi af iMr. Congcr's message Mr. Payne, after ascertaining such facts as couid be gleaned in tUe de- partmenl regarding tUe appoinîrneni of IDillard and AlIgoc-1, ielegraphed te Mr. Conger as follows :-" Iiivestigate fuiiy case of John C.

I France ha. a special association for' discovering a remedy for seasickness. In September, 1901, it held an exhibition at Dstend. The. investigations hasve sine been continued, partly with the aid of a' steamer lent by the Belgian Government. The resutit are now made public in a book written by Dr. Madeuf of Paris. It contains various rules as to diet, cloth- ing, etc., but points out no sure remedy. No freight except live stock and per- ishable goods is to be moved on Sunday, according to the new rule of the Chicago and Northwestern ltailroad. An excep- tion in favor of coal is made during the continuation of the shortage; but aside from that, thousands of railroad men wili hiave their Sundays at home for the firat time ince they entered the service. It j» worth noting that the management of- the road expresses the belief that the rest wii enable the men to move as much freight in six days as they have been moving ln seven. Notwithstanding ail denials froua ho- tel anu tîaers on tUe Continent, regarding compiscints made by tourists of system«a- tic aignaling by means of marks on lug- gage passed between servants f rom. ho- tel to hotel as to the value of tips, th~e charge holds good, for a Nice correspon- dent writes to Henry Labouchere of Loni- don "Truth" that he finds upon enquir- ies that there is no doubt sueh a system is in existence. But a method more fa- vored tha-h that of affixing luggage labels in positions, the significance of which is undcrstood by ser'vants in ho. tels ail along, the Riviera,, is to, eonvey the same information by means of ehsclk marks. "'The moral of whieh is," says LabotLehere, "that if you have not been over-generous to the servants, wipe off the chalk-marks you may see on your luggage aiter leaN-iing any hotel."
