Tokyo, April 30.���Admiral Yj.bu- ruatsu, tommander ot tbe l.-aia:n.; squadron, reports that an explosion occurred in t'he stock magazine o�� tbe cruiser Matsuuhirua at 4:08 o'clock this morning while she was anchored at .Vakanga, a haruor at tbe Pescadores islands. The Matsushima immediately dank until only th-e bridge was visible. Efforts at rescue by boats from thu cruisers Hashaidate and the Usukus- hima continued until 9 a.m., saving thc lives o�� ��orty-t\yo men, including some officers. The majority of tha officers were not saved. At the time of the admiral's rfport, the cadets aboard numbered 08 out of a complement of 300. It is feared all are lost. The sons of Baron. Chinda, vice-minister of the foreign office; Prince Oyama, field marshal. are among the men. Captains Name, Yokimori, and Yasbiro are. also Ithought to be lost. The cause, of the- explosion is unknown. The Pescadores islands, the scene of the catastrophe, are a low island group between Formosa and China. They belonged to China until 1875, when the were ceded to Japan. Accidents in the Japanese navy- have been rare. There was an explosion of powder on board the battleship Kashlma last September in which ���twenty-seven men were killed, and in September, 1905, the battleship Mlkasa, which wa3 Admiral Togo's flagship In the Russo-Japanese war, was partially destroyed by fire and the explosion of her magazine at Sasebo. No men lost their live, ia this accident.

Resolutions of loyalty to Mr. Asquith were adopted by acclamation, after which the premier -proceeded to outline his program. He nailed to the mast the flag% of free trade, education, licensing and old age pensions, hut he fought shy of Home Rule. This is considered as confirmation of the rumors following the defeat of Winston Churchill in tha northwest division of Manchester, that the premier had notified him of his disapproval of i Mr. Churchill's pledges to the Nationalists regarding Home Rule.

Our diamonds and precious stofies are bought personally by our diamond buyer in Amsterdam. Our order being one offcthe largest taken to Europe is eagerly competed for among the dealers which results in low prices. We are also one of the few firms paying cash. Accruing from these unusual advantages we are enabled to quote prices on our high-quality gem that cannot be duplicated in Canada or the United States. The value in a diamond is gauged by its freedom from flaws, color and perfection of cutting; these points are not more ideally combined th&n in a Birks store.

The City HAS NUMEROUS ATTRACTIONS from an industrial standpoint, and many fine site., with frontage on the harbor .are available for factory and milling purposes. Railway and water shipping facilities are of Lie lest. Tlie British Columbia Electric Railway Company Is 1 r.pared to supply ELECTRIC POWER AT LOW RATES for manufacturing and other purposes n .Yew Westminster and at any point along its railway and power lines. Electric power costs about half the price of steam power, and saves a heavy initial outlay for plant. With the proposed extension of the Electric Railway along the banks of the Fraser to Eburne, and from .New Westminster through the municipalities of Surrey. Langley, Matsqui, Sumas and Chilliwack, to t'he Town of Chilliwack, the GROWTH OF THE ROYAL CITY both as to population and commercial importance, should be doubled within the next Lev years. We would suggest to merchants already established in New Westminster and who may contemplate enlarging their premises and plants, and .also to any parties looking into the establishment of NEW INDUSTRIES the advisability of taking up wi;.i us the question of Electric Power before placing orders for machinery, The many advantages of electric power over any other power are becoming better known everyday. Evidence of this statement is the Cad that pratlcally all new industries ar? Installing electric power, and many of the old. r concerns are changing over to electric.
