WASHINGTON MEMORIAL
Is Now Proposed by Our B it sh
Cousins
London, Oct. 18.—One of the
leaning features of the Lord
Mayor’s procession this year will
be a car emblematic of Anglo-
Saxon union. Britannia and Co
lumbia, the central figures, be
ing surrounded by the British
colonies.
Sir Lepel Henry Griffin, ad
dressing a meeting at Luton, on
the subject of the suggested
Anglo-American union, said
Col. John Hay, the former
United States Ambassador at
London, wrote to him on leav
ing London, saying:
“I sometimes think that the
only advantage we Yankees
possess over you is that w’ebave
two native countries, while you.
have only one.”
Col. Hay appears also to-haye
given hit opinion of the suggest
ed Washington memorial in En
gland, expressing approval of
the scheme, which he regarded
as being in the highest degree
magnanimous. He remarked
that it would be the first time
any country had erected a me
morial to the man who had
beaten its people in arms, add
ing that the subscriptions must
come exclusively from Englsih
men, as naturally, citizens of
the United States could not
participate in any way.

LIFE-SAViNG AT SEA
Invewtk n That May be Valuable
To Ocean Liners.
Berlin, Oct 18.—-Director Schue
mann, of the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company, has invented
a new style lifeboa', whose mec
hanism, while very simple allows
of the boat being easily 1 unched
without the use of davits.
The new lifeboat can also be
lowered in a high sea and drop in
to water at some distance from
the vessel, thus lessening the dan
ger in the case of shipwreck or
fire. The Kaiser Wilhelm Der
Grasse is now being fitted with
these boats. The new Humburg-
Americans liner, now in course of
constiuction, will also be equip
ped with them.
