GENERAL CABLES.
LONDON, Feb. 21. A Thames bargee who recently was unable to walk a white line, explained that he had been sampling a mysterious red wine at two shillings a pint, which was prepared in a Thamesside building. An investigation shows that it is a very fiery, intoxicating liquor made from the cheapest Australian port and fortified with crude potato spirit from Germany, the importation of which is legal. The beverage possesses a pronounced “kick” and is very popular in the north of England. LONDON, Feb. 22.
Mr Fenton, Australian Customs Minister was received in audience by the King. Both he and Mr Wilford expressed the opinion that His Majesty looked very fit. Mr W ilford remarked that the King’s knowledge of New Zealand affairs was amazing. TORONTO, Feb. 21. Imprisonment for seven years for brokers guilty of accepting clients’ money and gambling with it instead of making stock purchases is a feature of the recommendations of the Attor-ney-General of the four Provinces for new legislation aiming at preventing Stock Exchange frauds. They also recommend compulsory written confirmation to customers of all purchases and sales with the time of the transaction. . ....
The proposals await ratification by the four Legislatures.
