CABLES IN BRIEF.

(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (United Press Association.) (Received 10.30 a.m.) London, September 6. Captain Hamilton and Lieutenant Stewart were killed in the biplaning manoeuvres at Stonehenge. The machine turned turtle and exploded at a great height. The War Office is stationing 25 aeroplanes at Colchester with resting stations, from the Thames to the Tweed. Marconi’s contract with the Norwegian Government is £70,000 plus 10 pm' cent of the gross profits from wireless stations operating between Norway and New York.

The congress at Newport decided to insist upon a minimum wage to stage hands and convenes a conference to consider the Government differentiating between Insurance Companies and approved unions. Mr Seddon, M.P., says differentiation means trades unions’ bankruptcy, and unless it is remedied. they will wash their hands of the whole insurance scheme. Mr Raphael, Liberal M.P., in a letter denouncing Single Tax, argues that manufacturers are equally landlords as they enjoy the benefits derived from the growth of the community owing to great dissatisfaction with the Minimum Wage Act.

Mr Brown mainly relies upon the miners' votes totalling 4000 in the Midlothian Election. Mr Hartshorn, in a letter regarding Mr Brown's return, warns the Government against any further denial of the miners' just demands. Mr Shaw expects half the miners' votes and asks electors to send a message to the Government through him that the one-man-one-vote must he placed on the Statute Bood before Christmas; also another Bill insisting upon Homo Rule for Scotland.

P. Hamilton (Worcester Regiment) and Wymes Stewart Depereduss, were up in a'monoplane when it developed a defect at a height of a thousand feet. It collapsed and smashed on to a tree where the tangled mass overhung the hedges. The bodies were horribly mutilated and unrecognisable, every bone being broken. At the Empire League, the Duke of Devonshire’s prize for the best essay on unification as distinguished from federation was awarded to Mr Sedgwick of the Westminster School. Captain Austin was biplaning when the machine turned turtle in a squall. He escaped witli a severe shaking; the biplane was wrecked.
