[special to press association.] London, May 31. The wreck of the Ly-ee-moon has caused some excitement here, and the names of those drowned are anxiously awaited. I _ The Executive of the Exhibition consider that Dr. Julius von Haast's pro posa! to convert the Exhibition into a Museum is ill-timed, as they were alrerdy moving in the matter. Speaking at the Exhibition Conference on the colonial wool supplies, Messrs Moncrieff and Pull, wool brokers, said that the wool from the River Plate district would prove a competitive bugbear to the colonial article. Prince Victor, in the book, "The Cruise of the Bacchante," insists on the urgent necessity for the defence of Albany. He considers that the recidiviste question threatens a French war, and holds that in the case of such an event, no matter what party may be in power, England cannot let the colonies stand alone. He suggests that the Falkland Islands should be exchanged for New Caledonia. He denounces the cowardly habit of letting the colonial policy drift on the strength of an understanding with France. He strongly supports the policy of Australia respecting the Pacific Islands. June 1. The Press generally eulogise Prince Victor's book. In the event of a general election. Harold Finch Hatton and Pritchard Morgan will contest Nottingham and Bolton respectively. George Coppin is arranging- an old colonists' dinner. Sir Saul Samuel has entertained Sir P. C. Owen, Lord Augustus Loftus, and Sir Hercules Robinson at a banqnefc. The report as to the American action in taking Samoa under their protection is regarded with incredulity in Berlin. Canon Liddon has boen elected Bishop of Edinburgh. The Times supports Major Colomb's idea of an Australian arsenal. It is stated that it is impossible for the Government to prevent the sale o: frozen meat as Home produce. Austria is incensed at certain aggressive actions of Hungary. ward Taaffe, Minister of the Interior and President of the Austrian Council of Ministers, is likely to resign. The Daily News considers that the Banks in meddling with land mortgages have nearly provoked a crisis in Australia. June 2. The division on the second reading of the Irish Land Purchase Bill will be taken on Friday. Nearly 100 Liberals have pledged themselves to vote acainst it. b The Ulstermen are still preparing, but thpir activity is not seriously tegarded at present. Mr Bright writes to the Press opposing autonomy for Ireland, and he says if it were not for Mr Gladstone the scheme would not find twenty supporters. Lord Wolverton, Postmaster-General, is arranging for a lighter parcel post via Brindisi. Thp P. and 0. Company have <nven a splendid banquet to 400 colonists, thp saloon of three of their steamers being used as banquet halls. Herr Most, the Socialist, has been sentenced to one year's imprisonment for his recent inflammatory articles. For the sculling race between Bubear and Nelson, which takes place to-day, the former is the favourite. The best medicine known is Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract. Test its eminent powerful effect in coughs, colds, influenza, &c.—the relief is instantaneous. Thousands give the most gratifying testimony. His Majesty the King of Italy, and medical syndicates all over the globe, are its patrons. We have no occasion to offer rewards in proof of the genuineness of our references. The official reports of medical clinics and universities, the official communication of the Consul-General for Italy at Melbourne ; the diploma awarded International Exhibition, Amsterdamall these are authentic documents, and, as such, not open to doubt. We add here epitome of one of the various cases treated by Siegen, M.D., Professor, etc. : Burning of the right hand through the explosion of a small oil stove. The epidermis on the volar and palmer side of the hand of the thirty-year-old patient was completely separated and lifted up as far as the joint of the hand. The likewise lifted nails were hanging loose, and half of the phalanx of the nail of the middle finger was coaled. The wounds thus contracted healed in three weeks under daily applications of Eucalypti Extract dressing. The patient has retained the full use of her hand.—[Advt.] We believe that if everyone would use American Co.'s Hop Bitters freely there would be much less sickness and misery in the world, and people are fast finding this out, whole families keeping well at a J trifling cost by its use. We advise all to try it. Read |
