The rear mast o f the Baden was shot away by guns o f the fort. The ship will remain in Rio de Janeiro for repairs and then continue to Buenos Aires. · Sao Paulo's Version Sao Paulo.-- The Brazilian Peder.al fortiess of Santa Clara fired on Satur day upon a German passenger ship which, in the excitement o f the revolu tion, was trying to slip out o f Rio de Janeiro H arbor without getting pro per clearance, and caused the outright death of 27 persons and seriously in jured 71 others. ed to live, were placed in ambulances. One of the most pitiful sights was a stretcher carrying off a small child, clasped by its mother, both o f whom were killed by the same shell frag ment. The cagtain was immediately placed under arrest and held by the police, and the latter place the entire blame for the sanguinary incident on the captain's shoulders for not responding to orders, which, it is claimed, were repeatedly given. The German Ambassador, on in structions from Berlin, is conducting an inquiry to place the responsibiity. It was later revealed that Captain Rolin is the brother of the former master o f another German ship. Cape Arcona. The latter captain had been debarred from entering Brazilian ports on account of " grave infrac tions."

G. Cowan, vice-presi dent of the British Am erican Bank Note Company, Ottawa, w ho print Canada's stamps. The occasion was the annual meeting of the society. Postage stamps have been in use only 90 years, Mr. Cowan said. They w ere introduced in Great Britain in 1840, in the United States in 1845 and in the provinces o f Upper and Low er Canada in 1851. A t first Canada's stam ps were made in New York, he stated, but by 1866 the amount requir ed was large enough to ju stify a Can adian com pany to produce them. The speaker described the surface printing and intaglio methods of pro ducing stamps, the latter of which is nsed in Canada. The intaglio pro cess is m ore difficult, discouraging forgery, and gives a clearer sharper outline. During the first year when Canada produced her own stamps, she used 8,500,000, said Mr. Cowan. This year she will use 1,400,000,000, enough to make a row 19,750 miles long if laid side by side. At the conclusion, Mr. Cowan show ed a number o f stamps which w ill be issued in the near iuture. A new red flve-cent air mail stamp bears the figure o f Mercury, with Earth in the background. A grey 12-eent issue ehows the citadel o f Quebec. The Senate library at Ottawa adorns a 10-cent stamp. A 20-cent stamp bears the picture o f a tractor-drawn binder in a wheat field. The 50-cent issue shows a parish church in Que bec, and the $1 stamp bears a picture i f a snowcapped peak in the Rockies.
