A terrible ■hailstorm occurred in the Schlata and: Tonibloff districts. Many of tjie stones were three pounds weight. It destroyed twenty sversts oj£ crops, and many cattle, flocks of sheep 2 and shepherds were drowned in the flood. . LONDON, July 25 The "Standard" says that the Royal visit was equally valuable to Australians and enjoyable and instructive to the Com-1 walls. The loyalty became a passion. The remarkable change in the relations of England and the colonies is due more to the efforts of colonists than to the political wisdom of England. The latest recognition of the excellent service of the Colonial Naval Contingents in China will be highly appreciated.
