The torpe- doing of the Nebraskan was a sur- prise to American officials here. Ap- parently it occurred before nine o'clock last night. All foreign vessels leaving Liverpool recently have had their names and nationality painted in large letters on their sides and have flown large flags. Yesterday evening was clear.

LONDON, May 26.--The American
steamer Nebraskan, Captain Green, Liverpool. May 24, for Delaware breakwater, was torpedoed yesterday by a submarine at a point 40 miles west southwest of Fastnet, off the south coast of Ireland. The sea was calm at the time. The crew took to the boats and stood by the vessel. A message to Lloyds from Kinsale, Ire- land, says the Nehraskan passed the point at 11 o’clock, apparently bound for Queenstown. The Nebraskan was down at the bow and proceeding under her own steam flying a signal "I am not under control.”

EXCELLENT LEIIIIIIIE
HI NEII. N. II. INILIIII
Last evening in Zion Church the
pastor, Rev. G. C. Taylor, gave an interesting and instructive lecture on thc life and work of Rev. Dr James Robertson, Superintendent of Presby- terian Missions in the North West.
The lecturer began by stating that
when Earl Grey was crossing the At- lantic on his way to Canada ho read the llfc of Dr Robertson, and one rg, the first things that he did after his arrival in the West was to go to Kil- donan churchyard and lay a wreath upon the grave of this great man, whom he regarded as the greatcstof those who toiled in building Canada’s great North West. Mr Taylor himself was one of a group of young men who volunteered for six months’ mission- ary work in tho North West in the days when men were very scarce and travelling difficult; but under the Dcctor’s persuasion six months leng- thened into five years. _
Dr Robertson was born in the vil-
lage of Dull, Scotland, the son of a sheep farmer. He had only the advan- tages of a village school, but the prob- lem in arithmetic that had puzzled students and professors of St And- rew's University was solved by young Robertson. His first charge in Canada was at Norwich. a scattered field where a great number of difficulties were encountered in travel-one of roads and spring freshets. On one occasion he found it impossible to get through with his horse to a special meeting at which he was expected to speak, but he put up the horse in a farmhouse and walked the distance, carrying his boots. He arrived there to find himself the only minister pres- ent, but stated that he had found little difficulty in getting through, only that his feet occasioanlly stuck to the ice! During his pastorateat Norwich a fire occurred in the hotel, and the alarm was given during the progress of ser- vice on Sabbath. The Doctor promptly dismissed the congregation and head- ed the work for the rescue, organising the water-carrying. So successful was the effort that the hotel was saved. The proprietor handed him a large bottle of brandy as compensation for his work, and Dr Robertson dashed the bottle to the ground, informing the man at the same time that that fire was much harder to put out. He was called to Knox Church in Winnipeg, and during his pastorate there was called to be Superintendent of the missions to the North West, his field extending from Fort William in the East to Victoria. Vancouver in the West, and from Victoria to Scagway, Dawson. Travelling was very difficult in those days. but nothing could daunt the heroic Superintendent. who had the faculty of making friends wher- ever he went. Many incidents are related of his tact and perseverance under great stress. One of the chief obstacles to the work in those early days was lack of men. The difficulties of the new country, scarcity of money and general hardships all intimidated men who had considered the miinstry a comparatively easy profession. Time and again after appointments had been made the Doctor found men re- considering them and refusing, so that it was the most difficult thing to keep the various fields supplied. I-le tra- velled in Scotland and secured many men there, but even with that rein- forcement it was impossible to keep pace was the fast increase in immi- gration. Dr Ralph Connor, of Winni- peg, has written a most interesting " Life " of the great Superintendent, giving the lights and shadows of that period when the North West was changing from e wilderness into the fruitful wheat field, ister to become the grsnary of the British Empire. The didloultiee of the Church system also had to be ,contended with. and sometimes the Church fathers found it hard to keep the Doctor within the strict bounds of Presbyterian usage. He became known as the Bishop of, the Presbyterian Church in the North

The total number of prisoners taken is eight officers, 777 of other ranks.

LONDON. May Z0.-The general
concensus of opinion with regard to the new cabinet is that though cer- tain appointments are surprking, As- quith has come within a fair range of constituting a national ministry which takes in at least nearly all the talents. While the Times and the Post speak as if the Liberal Government has fall- en, the remaining Conservative jour- nals refraln from any taunts.

This act brought to o. conclusion the negotiations which have been going on since last January when Japan. shortly after the fall of the German position of Kiao-Chow, presented her well-known demands to China.

articles reserved for future argument are brought out for consideration. The first treaty signed to-day deals with Shantung, and the second with South Manchuria, and Eastern inner Mongo- lia.

BATHURST, N.B.. May 26.-Trou-
ble, which has been brewing for some time between a number of young men belonging to St Marys, e. short dis- tance from Bathurst, and Italians, who have a colony nearby, culminated on Sunday afternoon in a. pitched battle, in which guns and knives were used.
Fred Doucet is lying seriously
wounded at his home with wounds in his loft shoulder. His injuries are quite serious although not considered fatal.
A little girl was struck in the fleshy
part of the log by a stray bullet, and Xavier Doucct. who resides near where thc trouble occurred, also suf- fered a slight flesh wound from a spent bullet.
From what can be learned from the
excited witnesses of the shooting, n number of St Mury’s young men began the trouble on Sunday by attacking several of the Italian colony who were out for a walk. Doucet. the injured mall, was not in the first of the trou- hle, but happened to como along just ns the shooting began and things bc- gan to fly.
Two Italians, who, it is alleged, did
the shooting have been arrested and lodged in jail and there are likely to be several other arrests.
Special constahlcs were on duty
Sunday night as the fooling was quite high through the night, but no further trouble occurred.

The disaster to the Triumph is de- scribed in a brief statement by the Admiralty. which says that while oper- ating in support of Australian and New Zealand forces on the shore of Gallipoli Peninsula yesterday. the Triumph was torpedoed by a submar- inc and sank soon after.
