JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN DEAD British Statesman Called at the Age of 78 With Great Suddeness A de.spa.tch from London says: Rt. Hun. Joseph Chamberlain died suddenly .-it his London residence, at 10.30 on Thursday night. The death of Mr. Chamberlain, which removes on of the most striking figures from British politics in the past generation, came as an entire surprise, as tho condition of his health was not publicly known to be any worse than at any time in the past two or three years. Mrs. Chamberlain, who never left her husband's side since he was stricken with paralysis seven years ago, and his tM.ri. Austen Chamberlain, were with Mr. Chamberlain when death .occurred at 10.30 o'clock Thursday night, at his London residence. Tho ; event cast a gloom over the London j season, which is at it* height. Mr. Chamberlain'* last public appo-ar- 1 ance was at a garden party on the grounds of his Birmingham home, on May 6 last, when, with 'his wife ] and son, he received several him- 'dred constituents. Mr. Chamber- lain was wheeled out on the lawn and appeared very emaciated and feeble when he lifted his hat to friends and neighbors in acknow- ledgment of their salutes. Capt.

A despatch from Ottawa says: Immigration returns for April and May, the first two months of the present, fiscal year, show a decrease of no U-i-s than 7s.i!70, or 53 per cent., us compared with April and May <-f ia^t year.

Expect* <o Talk Across Atlantic Before End of till 4. A despatch from London. Kng- land, says: "Mr. Marconi contem- plates being able to telephone from Carnavon, Wales, to Xew York, be- fore the end of this year," was the statement made on Wednesday by the manager of the company, in tes- tifying before the Dominions Royal Commission on Imperial communi- cations.

A despatch from Haileybury says : While angling at the end of the Hiileybury wharf Joe Sherill fished up a body at the end of hi line. It had apparently been in tho water some time, but was identified as that of Frank O'Leary, a camp cook. Sherill's line hook caught in the clothing and the fisherman won- dered what had happened, until the body came to the surface. From the appearance of the body foul play is feared in the death of O'Leary. There is a wound on the back of tho head. Doctors think this was sustained before he got into the water. WHALE IN P.K.I. HARBOR. Tlii> Monster, in His Incitement, Made .1 Dv.ii I p the River. A despatch from Charlottetown, P.K.I., says: There was consider- able excitement about tho harbor on Friday owing to the appearance of a good-sized whale, which seemed to In-come bewildered once he got inside, and took a trip part way up one of the. rivers which flow into the harbor before lie found his way out again. A number of motor boats were chasing tho strange visitor. Sir Francis J. Campbell, who died in London, aged 78, was ex-Princi- pal of the Royal College and Aca- demy of Music for the Blind. He was born in Tennessee, and lost his sight when four years old. PRINCE OF JYALES NESTEGG His financial Advisers Have Hade Some Profitable Ventures For Him A despatch /rom Ix>ndon says : When the Prince of Walrs next year attains to his twenty-first birthday ho will enter into the personal con- trol of thfi revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall, now being administer- ed (or him by the King, and the ac- cumulations of which will represent a nett-i'gg of over 1,000,000 ster- ling. Fi'uin an authoritative finan- cial source it is learned that advan- tage is being taken of the present late of the markets to make con- siderable investments in securities, which two trustees of the Cornwall Duchy estate consider bargains at the present prices. These trustees, who are inpired and guided by Lord Revelstoko since- King George'* accession liave already done vry well for the Prince. Not very long ago they purchased 80, 000 worth of securities, which have appreciated in the past six months in capital value by 1 per cent.. Though King George is by no means on the same close and friendly rela- tions with prominent and influen- tial personalities in the financial world as was his father, King Ed- ward, his Majesty nevertheless has many sources open to him through which he can carry on financial op- erations under vastly more favor- able conditions than the ordinary inventor, and the probability is that the value of tho Prince of Wales investment capital when it is made over to him next year will be con- siderably over 1,000,000 sterling.

This announcement was made by Mr. Scott to a delegation of Bul- garians and Ruthenians which wait- * ed on him in regard to the problem . of finding employment. The work- ings of the Immigration Act were * explained to them, and they were > told that it would be strictly en- forced. They were, however, all offered employment on farms if . they were willing to take it up, and this proposal will be considered by them. * ITALIAN SCULLER WINS.

The preliminary examination by a Magistrate into the assassination of the Archduke and his wife show- ed that it hod bee-n the intention of Prinzip to commit the deed at the time of the manoeuvres at Tarsini, but the attempt was abandoned owing to the strict military guard which prevented any outsider from approaching the Archduke. During the preliminary examination Prin- zip gloried in his guilt. He des- cvribed the killing of the couple, and declared that it had been hi3 ] intention for a long time to kill a ' prominent- Austrian. He had read . much Anarchistic literature and had become convinced that there could be nothing on earth finer than t to be an assassin. "I do not regret the deed 1 ," he- said. "I had nothing to do with the _ bomb attack. When I he-ard the ' explosion I exclaimed : 'There are< still people who feel and think as I do." This strengthened my resolve' still further." No evidence has yet been founc}. against any <>t the other persons arrested, with the exception of G*- brinovics. They were taken int* custody because of their personal acquaintance with the P. on aai.T\a
