The arrival of Sir Fairfax Cartwright, the new British Ambassador at Vienna, last week gave rise to a series of extraordinary rumours respecting his relations with Baron von Aerenthal, the Aus trian Foreign Minister, rumours which, if not promptly laid to rest, would have indicted serious injury on the amicable feelings which have for many years past existed between Great Britain and the Dual Monarchy. It is, of course, well known that Great Britain’s attitude towards the recent phases of Austria’s foreign policy in Bosnia and Herzegovina has aroused no little irritation in Vienna, where a feeling prevails that the British Government is doing all in its power to hinder an amicable settlement of the Balkan question. Such a view is not, in our opinion, warranted by the facts, but in view of the continued strictures of the London press, it is easy to understand Aus trian annoyance. The new Ambassador has arrived to take up his post at a very difficult moment, and it therefore follows that the originators of the malicious canards which went the rounds of the Continental press last week are doubly to be con demned. The rumours were to the following ef fect: Sir Fairfax Cartwright was commissioned by King Edward to present his credentials to Emperor Franz Josef and at the same time to intimate that the maintenance of amicable relations between his country and the Dual Monarchy was a matter of extreme difficulty so long as Baron von Aerenthal remained Foreign Minister. Nevertheless, under- -.tanHW +he difficulties of dismissing the obnoxious Minister at once, England would be Willing to cordially co-operate in removing the international difficulties confronting the Monarchy, providing that an assurance were given that Baron von Aerenthal would ultimately be relieved of his portfolio. This weird myth found its wav into manv influential Austrian journals, but was' ultimately laid to rest by a vigorous denial from the official telegraph agency. From motives best known to itself, the Berlin Vossische Zeifung subsequently revived the disagreeable story in a new form, alleging that Sir Fairfax had had a serious difference with Baron yon Aerenthal regarding his (the Ambassador’s) intention to discuss politics with the Austrian Em peror on the occasion of the presentation of the credentials. This mendacious allegation is also shat tered when confronted with facts, which, according to excellent authority, are to the following effect: Before leaving London Sir Fairfax Cartwright con ferred with Sir Edward Grey as to the best methods of removing the distrust prevailing in Vienna with regard to the character of British policy in the Near East. It was decided that the Ambassador should, if opportunity presented, make clear to the Emperor the friendly attitude ofGreat Britain towards his Government, and succinctly explain what the Bri tish policy really is. When Sir Fairfax arrived in Vienna he acquainted Baron von Aehrenthal of this intention, to which the latter raised no objection. During the Ambassador’s subsequent audience the Emperor did not touch upon politics, but contented himself with expressing the hope that Anglo-Aus- trian friendship would continue to develop along its traditional lines. There was not the least vestige of friction in any quarter, and it is highly regrettable that attempts should be made to create political ca pital out such an incident, involving as it does the relations of an Ambassador to the Sovereign and the Foreign Minister of the countrv to which he is accredited.

KING LEOPOLD AND zERIAL NAVIGATION. Brussels, January 2. According to a newspaper report King Leopold has offered a prize of 25,000 francs, to be awarded to the author of the best work on serial navigation and the solution of the flying problem. NATIVE DIFFERENCES IN INDIA. Calcutta, January 4. . An encounter took place yesterday in one of the suburbs between Mahomedans and Hindus, and be came so violent that the military were called out. On the appearance of the troops, they were attacked by both bodies of combatants and eventually ob liged to fire on the mob. More than 200 of their assailants were arrested. THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE. QUEEN OF ITALY INJURED. BRITISH AND AMERICANS SAFE. Rome, January 3. Memorial services were held in every church in Rome today for the victims of the earthquake. High Mass was celebrated at St. Peter’s by Mgr. Ceppe- telli, Patriarch of Constantinople, assisted by Car dinal Rampolla. Collections were made in aid of earthquake sufferers, and stands have been erected on the streets as collecting stations. Flags are still waving at half-mast. It has been remarked that °r Year ’ s Da y King Victor Emmanuel, instead of being in the Throne Room on the Quirinal Hill, stood on a much* higher Throne, wherefrom his figure, dignified by the nobility of his deeds, ap pealed not to Italians only, but to the entire world. It must be pointed out that the King did not go to Messina and Reggio for formality, but for. earnest work. Reports from those places say that he was indefatigable and showed wonderful activity, leaving no point of the fallen town unvisited, super vising the work, giving advice, infusing energy and courage, and, indeed, electrifying the atmosphere. On some occasions tottering walls, remains of high buildings, fell at his feet; on others he was sur rounded by bleeding and injured victims, who, as though resuscitated on seeing him, shouted enthusi astically, “Having the King we have all.” It may be safely said that no one in Italy envies the King so much as the Pope, who has always felt his place was down there. Great Britain is especially distinguishing herself, not only through the admirable work of her magni ficent bluejackets in the land of the dead, but also in pecuniary assistance. It is asserted that a party of 20 English-speaking persons shortly after the ■earthquake escaped from Messina to Palermo, cross ing unharmed the large tract of country beyond Messina where the upheaval had destroyed the rail way. Miss Evelyn Peirce, interviewed, said the death of her cousin, Mr. Joseph Peirce, the American Vice- Consul at Messina, was most cruel. ; He was the first to realise that the terrible shaking which had awakened him was an earthquake, and urged his wife to take the smaller children and escape, while he rushed to the room where the elder children slept to rouse them. While he was so doing a tidal wave completed the work of the earthquake; the totter ing walls, from which the furniture had already been thrown in different directions, collapsed, and the whole party, including four children, was buried dead under the three floors of the house. Signor Orlando, Minister of Justice, has sent the following telegram to Signor Giolitti, the Premier, dated Messina:—“Queen Elena is still working de votedly at the hospital. A panic occurred in the hospital yesterday evening in consequence of an other slight earthquake shock, and the Queen, in trying to prevent a stampede, was slightly hurt. Rome, January 3. The Central News correspondent had an interview this morning with Mr. Oswald Thomas, an English survivor of the Messina disaster. He said, “So far as I know there were about 40 English people in Messina, and the majority of them are safe. I had been there for ten months. I had a marvellous es cape from death, for the ceiling of my room fell on me, and the walls were opening all about me My face, as you see, was badly cut. On the op- s id j: „ of the way I saw a palace collapse. With the fall of my house I had been left suspend ed high up, and after a few minutes I dropped down on some beams and made my way to the street. I found the slippers of the concierge, which I put on my feet, and after three tiring hours I reached the harbour, where the British steamer “Drake” was then lying. In company with some of the “Drake’s” crew I went in search of Mr. Bennett (?). At the Consulate we found him with his leg broken, holding a child in his arms. Every thing about him was in ruins, and we had to rescue the two with ropes under the greatest difficulties Mr. Bennett begged us to go and look for his wife On the following day we found a woman’s body and took it to Palermo, but Mr. Bennett said the °orpse was that of one of his servants.” Mr. (Continued on page 3.)
