Princess. London, March 6.--The Cape Town papers, which have arrived here, con tain details of the trial of princess Radziwill on the charge of forging the name of Cecil Rhodes to a number of notes for a large amount. Mr. Rhodes testified that he met the princess at a dinner in Loudon. She aiterwards wrote and asked him to invest £200, 000 for her.

He paid her bills at living in of a FOUR MILITIA CORPS May B: Raised in Canada and Australia AND FOR USE IF REQUESTED IMPORTANT SCHEME YET DEVELOPED. MOST An Opportunity Will Be Had Of Conferring With the Colonies At the Time Of the King's Coronation.--Provides For the Largest Army in the World. Lomion, March 6.--The war office scheme mentioned by the war secre tary, Mr. Brodrick, gn the house of commons, hy whic! 39) hoped the co- lonial forees would some available in the event of a nvolving the general interests "ur" the empire, is said to contemplate India providing three army corps, South Africa two army corps, Australia two ary corps, New Zealand one army corps, and Canada four militia army corps. Fuller Details Given. London, March 6.--A despatch from Portsmouth, to the Evening News, says theré is reason to believe, from information received from a trust worthy source, that the most im- pofant military scheme known in English history was foreshadowed by secretary of war Brodrick in his speech in the house of commons on the army estimates when he said : "I trust it may be possible that an arrangement may be made by which the whole forces of the empire would be available in case of a war in which the whole empire would be involved. An oppor- tunity for conferring with our colonial friends on this subject will occur at the time of the coronation." The correspondent says that from what can be gathered Great Britain and Ireland would produce and equip six army corps, three of which re presenting, with their cavalry brigades, a force of 150,000 wen, who would be prepared to take the field in de fences of the colonies or for action against a European power. This would leave an equal rmmber of men for home defence, besides the militia yveomanry and volunteers allotted for const and garrison defence. This scheme ix said to arrange for India to provide one army corps from its vari- ous presidencies; South Africa would raise two army corps available for service anywhere, and Australia two; New Zealand and Canada would each be marked to furnish four militia corps, wholly available for use if re- quested. According to the correspon: dent, the scheme provides for the largest army in the world. WENT THROUGH SNOWDRIFT To The * Gallery " While At Wi- agara Falls. N.Y., March 6, Prince Henry of Prussia traveled from Chi- cago to Niagara Falls yesterday. crossed the Canadian frontier for a brief stay, to which he was officially welcomed by the. dominion, and then resumed his journey to Boston over the New York Central line. His long est stop in almost thirty hours of continous travelling was at Niagara Falls, which he saw bridged in with the ice of winter. Midway on the bridge that spans the rapids the prince was met by the man who spoke for the Canadian gov- ermuent and pedple. Maj. Mande, mili- tary secretary for lord Minto, gover nov-general of Canada, presented the formal greetings of his chief, and R. Harcourt, minister of education for Ontario, delivered an address passed by the legislature of Ontario. The prince thanked the Canadians for their cordiality, ankl leaving - his American military escort behind drove on to the Canadian side. As his car riage turned up toward the falls mav- or Butler, who with admiral Evans, was riding with him. said to him : "There at the gallery is the best view of the American falls, but on ac count of the snow you cannot get it." "You may not be mble to climb across there, but I am going to." Suiting the action to his words, the prince jumped out of the carriage and climbed through the snow drift to the gallery on the ledge over the rapids, where he showed the wav. Others fol- lowed and soon there was a little crowd with him. Col. Perey Sher wood, chief of the dominion police of Canada, was on hand with a force of his men, and they closely gnarded the prince during his stay on the Cana dian ground.

The New League- Would Likely Widen the Gulf and Increase The Difficulties Of Securing Success in the Future. London, March 6.--Sir Henry Camp- bell-Bannerman, addressing a party meeting at the national 'iberal club, unhesitatingly condemned the new liberal league founded by lord Roser bery, Herbert Asquith, Sir Henry Fowler and Sir Edward Grey. Sir Henry said he had repeatedly depre cated sectional organizations within the party and he was no true friend of liberalisin, however pure and hich his motives, who lent encouragement to any such proceedings. It would be a hard struggle to accomplish the triumph of liberal principles, but it would be accomplished only by march ing bravely and. steadily forward, shoulder to shoulder, and never by forming groups and leaving the main highway of united eliort to tread some little by ways. The meeting' was in cordial and en thusiastic sympathy with the speak- er. Earl Spencer, the acting leader in the house of lords, in the course of a speech at Eastbourpe, last night, expressed great regret and disappointment that lord Rosebery was unable to co-operate with the re cognized leader of the opposition. He believed that the formation of the new liberal league woul widen the gulf in the party and increase the difficulties of the liberals, therefore it was im possible to wish it success. As no vital principle was involved there was no justification for establishing the new organi'ation. Gerald Balfour, speaking at the an nual dinner of the associated cham bers of commerce, last ni rht, referred to the conclusion of the Brussels sugar convention He claimed the result as a trivmph for British dinlo macy and a victory for the principle of free trade. The delegates to the sugar confer ence have signed the convention pro viding for the abojition of all direct and isdirect bounties on sugar, the reduction of the customs sugar tax countervailing duties on sugar from states continuing to grant bounties. A conference « representatives. of the chambers of commerce of London, Liverpool, Manchester, Belfast, Edin burgh and other places, has resolved to take immediate action to meintain the "most favored nation" treatment for Great Britain in regard to China.
