Peking, Monday.—Six hundred sena- I tors and representatives have arrived for the inauguration of Parliament to-morrow. President Yuan Shih Kai will not attend the ceremony. The elections have been more uuecess- tell than was anticipated, and the (,'evenmient majority is practically assured Li Yuan Heng, the Vice-President, is disbanding 10,000 soldiers recruited I during the revolution, who will be partly replaced at Wuchang by 2,000 regular troops from Sinyaiigciiow, near I Hankow. The disbanded men will receive a I gratuity of seven months' pay.

A HUGE ORDER. I RICHARD TBOSSAS &C0 UNDERSTOOD I TO mi SEARED iT. A "Leader" representative was in- formed to-day that the order for 70,000 boxes of tiupjite for the Standard Oil Company has been placed with Messrs. Richard Thomas and Company. The price is stated to be below that at which plates of the size and quality stipulated for can be manufactured to- day, having regard to the present price oT bars of tin. Messrs. Thomas and Co. are under- stood to have considerable stocks on hand.

THE UNLUCKY NUMBER. I THIRTtSH mTS INJURED AT THE I DOGS. I To-day a survey was made with a view I of ascertaining the extent of tho damage to the hobblers' boats inflicted by the steamship Correct whilst proceeding to the iSorth Dock on Sunday. Jt has been found that the boats injured number thirteen—generally regarded as un- lucky. The Surveyor's charges amount to 5s. per boat. A claim will be lodged on be- half of the hobbiers by the Labourers' Union for this, plus the cost of repairs and 2s. 6d. per day, the loss consequent upon the inability of the men to use the craft. One boat is alleged to have been so badly damaged that she will not be. fit for use again. In other cases the damage is comparatively slight. It is estimated that the total damage amounts to about £ 80.

THE COLLIERIES. I NON-UNIONST QUESTION NOT DOING liiGH HARM LOCALLY. Enquires made by a "Leader" man on Tuesday elicit the fact that the trouble at the Garngoch Collieries is still unsettled. it will be remembered that the dis- pute arose out of the action of the man- agement of the Cape Colliery, near Fforestfach, in giving the men notice, and in giving A man named Hughes a I contract for working the colliery. i i. Nort-Unionist Question. Enquiries made regarding the non- unionist question go +o show that the question does not present any great difficulties in the local coalfields. In the Western Valley district the men are falling i-ito line rapidly, while in the anthracite district not more than 20 per cent. of the men are non-unionists, and these are also coming in. At present disputes on this subject exist at the Ponthenry, Wernos, Onllwyn, Park, Brook and Diamond Collieries.

AN HONEST MAN. A debt of £ 45 contracted by his grandfather more than sixty years ago, has been repaid By Eusebio Andrada, of Coimbra, Portugal, a working harness-maker, who for the last eight years has subsisted on dry bjvad and onions in order to save up the amount.

I SHAMEFUL STORY. | At the Old Bailev yesterday, Mrs. Elizabeth Florence Pettifer, aged thirty-six, who shot her husbano, an omnibus driver, at their home in Moncrieff-street, Peckham, was acquit- tod of the charge of murder, and was set free. The man's death was the last inci- dent in a drama of "the ether woman.' Before the tragedy Mrs. Pettifer re- deemed a revolver which she had been induced to pawn, and wrote a Message to the coroner, in which she stated:— Mv husband has threatened to do p'e in to-night, so I am going to be llrst if I can." Pettifer was shot from behind, but his wife declared yesterday that the occurrence was an accident. A pathetic story of her life was disclosed. Cruel Wrong. I Tt is difficult," said Mr. Justice Lush.

_0 ACID STOMACHS ARE Diweeys. NINE-TENTHS OF ALL STOMACH I TROUBLE SAID TO BE DUE TO ACIDITY. A PHSYICIAN'S ADVICE ON CAUSE I AND CURE. A famous physician whose successful researches into the cause and cure cf stomach and inte-stinal diseases have earned for him an international reputa- tion, said in the course of a recent lec- ture that nearly all intestinal troubles, as well as many diseases of the vital organs, were directly traceable to a de- ranged condition of the stomach, which in turn was due nine times out of ten to excessive acidity, which not only irritated and inflamed the delicate lining of the stomach, but also set up gastristis and stomach ulcers. It is interesting to note that he condemns the use ot patent medicines as well as of medical treatment for the stomach, stating that ho and his colleagues have secured remarkable results by the use of ordinary bisurated magnesia, which, by neutralising the acidity of the food, removes the source of the trouble. He contends that it is as foolish to treat the stomach itself as it wou ld be for a man who stepped on a tack to rub liniment on the foot without first re- moving the tack. Remove the tack and the foot will heal itself—neutralise the acid and stomach troubles will disap- pear. Irritating medicines and medical treatments are useless, so long as the contents of the stomach remain acid; remove the acidity, and there will he no need for medicine—the inflamed lining of the stomach will then heal itself. Sufferers from acidity should get a email bottle of bisurated magnesia from their chemist, and take half a teaspoonful in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after meals, repeating in fifteen minutes, if necessary, this being the dose which the doctor has found most efficacious in all cases.

WHY DO GHiLMEN Cough more than aauits is a question nearly unanswerable but the reason may be that the delicate breathing mechanism in the young has not had. time to get in sufficiently good running order, or ensured against cold, microbes, or the vagtric-) of the changeable J British climate. Vv hooping i COUGH again is peculiarly a children's trouble, and one which very few escape, but it is I a remarkable fact that during the many epidemics which annuaily occur all over the country no medicine has yet been found to compare with Veno's Lightning Cough Cure, for this and every other variety of children's chest and lung trouble. MORE THAN j two million batties of this extraordinary ) remedy are sold annuaily, and it says much for the immense popularity of Veno's Lightning Cough Cure that never li as. its puri ty, efllcacy, and safety (even for the youngest child) bt'en called into questicn.

This highly skilled combination is now at its best, and, on Monday evening, served out a rare harmonic treat, liut the audience, though not large, was j highly appreciative. The "House; from an artistic, if not from the financial point of view, was eminently satisfactory. After each item, an encore was generally demanded, and with one solitary exception, graciously acceded to by Herr Julian Kandt. A very impressive opening "The God of Thunder," led up to a bril- liantly executed waltz fiotii "The Girl in tho Taxi," and the g^and overtoil. "Rerdita." In lighter mood was "A Pierrot's Frolic." Then followed the gem of the evening, "Cavalleria Rusti- cana" (Mascagni.) A feature likely to prove immensely popular is Kandt's Pot Pourri of popular melodies—an ar- tistically arrayed jumble. This is to be j played several times during the visit, and two special prizes are offered, one for ladies and one for gentlemen who sends in the most correct list of the compositions and the composers in; their proper order, competitors to send in their efforts not later than Satur- day morning, and the prizes will be j presented by Herr Kandt on Saturday j evening. j The vocalist is Miss Isabel Racifol-d the possessor of a voice of good quality and extraordinary range.

It is evi- dent thax Jliev cannot perform the work the employes are paid to perioral, and thus it can be imagined that trade at the present is in a muddle, and will be so until the claims of the workpeople have been arranged. There. was a meeting last night of m-embers of the Swansea Tailors' Em- ployers"' Assoqiation, and it was unaui- mously decided not to consider the de- mauds of the workpeople. ) The general opinion pi-evaililig, amongst the master tailors seems lobe that the increase for all the employees under the one master tailor would ex-1 ceed the increase which has been granted to the sub-contractor himself. It may be stated that there are 200' men idle.

R Illti- t,"t N Y.. j I IMPORT¡iNI SPtGH 8Y THE | litlrhfilAL C..ftKCtLLOR.  CHURCHjlrS PMPOS?L j Herr ton Bethmaun-Hollweg, the 1m.. penal Chancellor, introduced the gigantic Army Bill in the Re;chstag in a speech of 4o minutes' duration yester- day afternoon. The speech, which could by no possi- bdity have convinced anyone who was not convinced before of the necessity of the Bill, was received with some cheers, amongst which, iiowever (says a corres- pondent 01 the Daily News and Leader") were plainly audible Socialist hisses. My impression is that the majority of the bourgeois members j kept silence. I Compliment to Sir E. Crey. The ChaneeiJor described Germany s relations with Russia as being tnendiy. and with France and England as good. The Triple Alliance stands as firmly as ever. Sir Ldward Grey, he declared, j deserves the thanks of all Europe for his magnificent work in persei-viia-, har- mony and smoothing out disagree- j merits. Mr. Churchill's suggestion of a year'sj; naval holiday presents great difficulties. Germany will wait to see whether Eng- land converts Mr. Churchill's scheme into a dehnite diplomatic proposal. Nevertheless, the proposal marks a great advance in the gradual return of mutual conifdence between the two nations. j Power of Public Opinion. The justification for this Bill is, ae- ,cording to the Chancellor, the public opinion of the French Chauvinist Press and the Russian Fan-Slav agitation. The Chancellor assured the House that responsible Ministries are less apt than J ever to &et a light to the touch-hole. "The inclination to do so has decreased. But, gentlemen, there is something that! has increased: that is the power of i public opinion, and within public opinion that section which makes the most noise and is often really only a minority." Such a minority in France has reached the dangerous conclusion that in artil- lery, aircraft, and training France is Germany's equal or superior. Regarding Russia again, the Chan- ceH-or does not believe thai Teutonism and Slavdom will clash if the present I Russian Government can help jL, but there are those Pan-Siav agitators, and I Pan-Slavism has been encouraged by events in the Balkans. Russia Advancing. r I Moreover land, tins is tne real pitn or I the Chancellor's oration and the real reason for Germany's new armaments), Russia has recently made vast. strides. There is now proceeding an astonish- ing economic development of this giant Empire, provided as it is with inex- haustible natural resources. Hand in hand with this economic development there is also proceeding a revitalising of the army such as Russia has never yet known, including not only a great improvement of armi and materia:, but also of organisation and especially of speed in changing from a peace to a war footing." This is the real crux of the whole matter .and it is on this point, a6 the Chancellor made clear, that the Reich- I stag may expect startling confidential information from the War Minister.
