A despatch from Cairo says:--The Earl of Carnarvon died peacefully at 2 o'clock Thursday morning, He was conscious almost to the end. His death was due to blood poisoning through the bite of an insect, with the later development of pneumonia. When the end came, Carnarvon's wife, daughter| 8 and son, Lord Portchester, who ar- rived from India a day or two ago, were at the bedside. In 1895 he married Almina Womb-| well, daughter of the late Frederick C.. Wombwell. His wife inherited] much of the fortune of the late 'Al- fred De Rothschild. The death of the Earl of Carnarvon comes shortly after the culmination | of the exploit that brought him chief- ly into public notice--the discovery of the rich tomb of the Pharoah Tutank- hamen, in the Valley of the Kings, in Egypt, by the archaeological expedi- tion which he headed. His father, the fourth Earl of Car- narvon, was British lonial Secre- tary under Lord Derby, and while holding this portfolio, moved the see- ond reading of the bill for confedera- tion of the British North American provinces. Resigning upon the pass- age of the Reform Bill in 1867, he again became Colonial Secretary under Disraeli, in 1874, serving tintil 1878. Later he served for two years as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He was reputed to have spent more than $100,000 maintaining the expe- dition, which finally uncovered the Pharoaoh's tomb last December, after seven years of fruitless excavation.

The leg had been severed below the knee, and i when the victim was admitted to the Montreal General Hospital, it was found necessary to amputate above the knee. Mr. Clark was reported to-' day as resting comfortably. | Newfoundland Sealer | Returns With 11,367 Pelts A despatch from St. John's, Nfid., says: --The steamer Sagona, the first of the Newfoundland sealing fleet to , return from the ice fields, has just ar- rived with 11,867 pelts. She has been absent just four weeks. The Sagona reported that she made her catch 116 miles off Cape Race, and that the other vessels of the fleet now are working there, Unless conditions improve, the Sagona's will be the only paying catch among the fleet, as she is the smallest vessel, and least expensive to operate, The total kill of the entire fleet up to the present is 78,500. - in Eastern Ontario, The Gat- of King Tutankhamen's tomb, who was | reported as recovering from an attack | of poisoning said to be due to mos- quito bites, has succumbed to the malady.

The output of mica alone was 2,229 tons, of a value of $66,480. Of this. amount 2,119 tons was what is known as scrap mica, worth but $10 per ton, whereas the 24 tons of « thumb-trithmed 'mica 'was val- ued at $560 per ton and 86 tons of rough-cabled mica brought $255 per tou, The mica is pro- duced principally in Leeds, Lénark and Frontenac counties supplies large quantities of he total production of S nada last year amounted to. ,648 tons, valued at $129,281. ivi district of Quebec also' | au authorized capital of $24,000, and | | Newfoundland Government to a considerable quantity registered is] new business, Regina, Sask.--Over forty tank fary of oil from the Sweetgrass t ton County; as well as other properties +in Victoria County.
