A REFUSAL 10 PARADE Trouble With Bandsmen at Gailes Camp, Ayrshire WERE PUT UNDER ARREST AND LATER WERE DRUMMED .OUT OF CAMP. The Bandsmen Did Not Believe Phey Were Receiving an Ade- quate Allowance--Remarks. of Lieut.-Col. Smith in Dismiss- ing Them. London, Aug. S.--A painful incident occurred recently at the Gailes Camp, Ayrshire, containing between seven and eight thousand Scottish volun- teers. In the morning. the band of the 4th Lanark and Glasgow corps, © re- fused twice, when 'ordered to accom-, panv the regiment to the scene of the day's manocuvres, and about twenty- five were placed under arrest in their tents. The act of insubordination was: due to a belief on the part of the bandsmen that they were receiving an inadequate allowance. On the return of the regiment from manoeuvres at lunch 'time thé bands- men were drummed out of the camp and disinissed the service by Lieut. Col. Smith, the officer commanding, in the presence of the whole "brigade. In a scathing speech Col. Smith re marked that the band refused to par- ade because they seemed to have dis covered that bands in other regiments were receiving more remuneration for their services in camp. The band joined as "volunteers, and were. not entitled to be paid "any more than any othev.anember of the battalion. As he had intimated inthe morning, he intended now to dismiss them with J ignominy. Such 'a thing had never happened before in the annals of the regiment, but he could not show any clemency. Bandmaster Jarvis having called out the names of the offenders, the men's facings were cut off, and the colonel dismissed them "as a disgrace to the regiment and to the uniform they wore." SUBSIDY FOR FAST LINE. British. Subsidy May be Half Canada Gives. London, Aug. 8.--It is understood Mr. Chamberlain has agreed to urge the British cabinet to contribute one- half whatever Canada' contributes to- wards. the new fast mail service, which in case of the acceptance of the Can- adian Pacilic service, means a British subsidy of £85,000 and a Canadian subsidy of £177,000. In case the Al-. lans and Elder-Dempster ofier is ac- cepted, the proportions will be British £100,000 and Canadian £200,000. The statements being put about in inter- ested quarters that Mr. Chamberlain declared he would never assent to one penny British subsidy for a Canadian Pacific service are absolutely untrue. Mr. Chamberlain's only desire is to see efficicney secured on lines acceptable to the Canadian ministers. A GREAT CONCERN. British and Canadian Interests to be Merged. London, Aug.

Rich and - Prominent Farmer Caught Robbing' Mill Says He Has Pursued Role of. Burglar for Fifteen Years Simply for Amusement. Ghester, Vt., Aug. S.--A Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in real lite has been re- vealed by a spring gun, set one night receritly. for robbers. Clarence 5, a prosperous and hitherto re- farmer, now appears in the do role, his double éxistence dis- ed by a charge of No. 8 buckshot which struck him in the legs. Adams is accused of scores of burglaries and admits them. In explanation he says the story of Jekyll and Hyde fascin- ated him. "1 never robbed because I needed money; but simply because robbing and afterward listening to the com- plaints of the people amused me. *1 was never amused by the recrea- tions that pleased most men. 1 al ways sought pleasure in some unusual way and robbing for the fun of it was unusual." Adams began when he was thirty, he says but will not tell which was his first robbery or where it was commit- ted. He is now about forty-five years old. Adams was caught by the discharge of a spring gun a few days ago at Washbunn's mill. Chester has been ter- vorized for fifteen vears by robberies. The postoffice. railroad station and various busisess houses were entered. In -his home has been found much of the plunder. Adams'. arrest hasggaused a sensa- tion, because of his prominence in church and political life. He has been assessor, selectman and legislator. He is still in bed, peing treated for his cunshot wounds, but is cuawded hy constables day and night. . ---- WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT. Farmers Form a Political Or- ganization. Toronto, Aug.
