GENERAL CABLEGRAMS

ELEPHANT’S SPREE. (By Cable—Frees assn.—Copyright.) LONDON, November 7. Breaking from its stall at Hull, a Zoo elephant entered a neighbouring store. It ate a huge quantity of hay, after which it drank half a cask of beer. Then the elephant cavorted wildly, throwing junks of horseflesh about. GERMAN MIGRANTS. BERLIN, November 8. The newspaper “Tageblatt” states: Four thousand more fugitive peasants, of German blood, have arrived at Moscojv from all parts of Russia, these raising the number who are encamped round the city to 10,000. Canada does not want so many Germans. The German Government is now considering offering them a permanent sanctuary in the sparsely populated districts in East Prussia. AUSTRALIAN VOCALIST. PARIS, November 8. John Brownlee received many ovations when he sang the principal baritone part in the opera of “William Tell,” at its first revival since the war. N.Z. DEBATERS WIN.
