PBP PBKSS ASSOCIATION ACCIDENT TO PRINCE CHRISTIAN. London, April 28 At a demonstration to day, Prince Christian was knocked down by a city cab and badly shaken. ALLEGED ATTEMPTED BRIBERY. London, April 29 Under date March 19, Mr King iton, the Premier of South Australia, published a letter to the effect that a certain ex-member of the House of Commons had called on him m Adelaide respecting the establishment of a Company to work a large area of country m the Northern territory, and had made certain pecuniary overtures to him ; further that he had shown the ex-member the door and written to Earl Kintore, from whom the visitor had brought a letter of introduction, explaining the matter, and also written to the Agent-General, if the ex-member had the hardihood to call on him, to kick him out. Mr Hugh Watt, ex-member for Camlachie, Glasgow, who apparently takes the letter as a reflection upon himself, describes the latter as an electioneering dodge, and contrary to fact. He intimates that he is replying m extenso by mail. Mr Kingston's letter dealt with Mr Watt's negotiations on behalf of an English syndicate acquiring land m the Northern Territory, ft accused Mr Watt of making certain overtures, alleging a suggested greasing of Par liamentary wheels.

Pbetokia, April 29

Death sentences were passed on Hammond, Phillips, Farrar, and Bhodes ; sixty others were sentenced to two years' imprisonment, fined £2000, and banished from the country for three years.

London, April 29

Mr Chamberlain telegraphed to President Kruger that the Govern ment had no doubt it is intended to commute the sentences, and assured Parliament of this conviction. The announcement of the sentences created great excitement m the House of Commons.

Washington, April 29 The American Consul cabled that Hammond's sentence is commuted.

Both Houses carried a petition to President Kruger for a pardon for Hammond. Both Congress and the PreßS are unanimous m a demand for the commutation of the sentence.

Pretoria, April 29 There is great excitement through out the Rand, and trouble is feared unless' the sentences are commuted. President Kruger, m the course of an interview on the subject, said he trusted the Johannesburg populace would calmly await the decision of the Executive, which would meet on Thursday to consider the matter. There is now a strong revulsion of feeling m favor of Mr Rhodes among the Africanders.

London, April 29 The Times points out that the prisoners adhered to the terms Presi dent Kruger asked, and it is incredible that a civilised Government should hang them because they did not obtain a, personal indemnity.

Business Notices The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prevention is Better Than Cure mHE few cases of Typhoid m -Ashbwton Borough and Suburbs afford no ' ground for a " scare," but it is only by using reasonable precautions that the dread scourge c«n be kept within bounds. In. view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it m»y be of service to reprint an extract from an issaeofth© " Nineteenth Century " of last year, m which special reference ia made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. . The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m some villages ; andin Prussia, no less than one-sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five jears euc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m .Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being Uken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roox and Tersen ; bat Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Clioler*, Typhcid, Malari*, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the bedy by special baoteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and. upon which dairy and kitchen Blops have been thrown. Without an npection by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. Ihe Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. Ihe fever ard diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes »n absolute gain, by conveying the waeh to pig troogh or to tie garden. The Poi table Barrows can be put to various kinds of use, and ihey are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can. do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively email. Possession of one becomes an absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. Improved Copper Boilers. J have just received direct from the manufacturers a fresh supply of Portable Copper Boilers, with patent smoke stack joint, and Semi-double sheeted frame— -galvanised.
