John Jacob Astor, multimillion alre of the Titanic disaster, William H, Force, father of Mrs. Astor, and grandfather -of the. heir, satd the will -not -be contested. The heir is named John Jacob Astor, the sixth to bear the name. Because the boy was named immed- iately after birth it was reported that a, contest of the will was likely. But the grandfather, William H. Force, Dut a short and emphatic end to such a report. The report that there will be a contest of Mr. Astor's will ig all non- sense, he said. Mrs, William H. Force and Miss Katheryn Force, mother and sister of Mrs, 3tor, who was Madeleine Tal- madge Force, were in un adjoining room when the Astor baby was ush- ered into the world by Dr. Cragin, who was Assisted by Miss Helen Nes- bit and Miss McLean, nurses, .

When he arrived, John Jacob Astor, sixth, found a 2,000 layette waiting for hiin and a 3,000,000 share in one of the largest estates in the world, valued at 150,000,000. Looks Like Father.

CHINESE: GENERALS ARE PUT 10 DEATH Executions of Alleged Plot. ters Caused Excitement in Peking. London, August 19 The dramatic arrest and execution of - several generals, including Chang Chen Wu, alleged to be at the read of a plot re- caused intense excitement in the Ohi- nese capital, according to: the Poking correspondent of the Dally Telegraph. Phe army officers arrived in Pek- ing openly from Hankow a few days ago. President Shi Kai received secret: messages from General Li Yuen Heng, the Vice-President of China, proving the complicity of the generals in the recent abortive revo- lution, and the President acted with such swiftness that escape was im- possible. 2 The generals were selzed at night and the two leaders of the Wu Chang outbreak were shot after being tried by a drumhead court martial. The other officers were returned in chains to Hankow and there executed. The men belonged to the Tung Hen Pul, Dr. Sun Yat Sen's party, which con- trols the advisory council. The executions, the correspondent will. be construed as a direct challenge to a struggle for power be- tween President Yuan Shi Kai and the advisdry-eounell, and may preci- pitate occurrences of an even strong- This is the third been here for food.

If it be true that happy is the country which has no, history, then is South Africa indeed happy. But it seems as if the Union of South Africa is to prove an exception, for there are few coun- tries which have packed 80 much bis- tory into the last 30 years or 60, and are yet 80 prosperous. In the modern history of the coun- try alone, we have Majuba, the Jame- son raid, the three tragic years of war, reconciliation, the Union and of a state. And as a result of all this travail. we find General Botha, one of the leaders of the Boer republics, As prime minister of this British 5 backed by an all too large majority. It is too large because it s never good for any party to have such overwhelming power as the South African party has at present. The ministry have on the whole done well for it is no easy task to administer four large provinces, with many conflicting interests which have in the past been accustomed to con- sider only themselves and to have a provincial rather than a national point of view. It is indeed a kind of marriage a quatre and as all the world. knows, marriage invariably Recessitates some give and take, some compromise, and some adjustment. Therefore it was hardly to be ex- Pected that the first Union ministry would make no mistakes, especially a8 most of the cabinet have had no very wide experience of parliamen- tary proceedure. Parliament has been sitting since January, and has only just come to an end, and, inspite of its long ses- sion, the work at the last has been rushed and has lacked thoroughness and deliberation, owing to the grow- ing impatience of the members at the length of the session. A cabinet cris- Is occurred a few weeks ago which al- 80 aided in delaying the despatch of business. The treasurer, Mr, Hull, resimed, owing to differences with Mr. Sauet the minister of railways, complaining that he, and indeed the whole cabi- net, were not kept informed of the, expenditure incurred for new rail- ways and the improving of old ones. Mr, Hull really resigned more, it seoms, because of the influence Mr. Sa has over the Cape Colony members, who would prove convenient if alienated, t most in- Bow the-building-up-end-construction + 5 The incident disclosed the fact that all the ministers were working-as-it were in water-tight compartments and the prime minister had much too little control over the cabinet. Had the opposition-been stronger the min- istry would most certainly have gone out of office, such a sorry spectacle did they present. As it is a recon- struction of the cabinet is to take place almost immediately and it will be interesting to watch developments: and take note of the undercurrents which ,though unseen, play so large a part in the calculations of the captain: who steers the ship of state. A good deal of dfssatistaction hes strong party feeling, but remember- Ing the. great mass of back-veld Boers, getierally speaking narrow and ignorant as regards their out- , Who compose the majority and press for these appointments, it is easy to understand how difficult it must be to brish aside all party con- siderations, and choose the right man because-it-is-right- The expenditure too has been. very lavish and th Union buildings in Pre- teria where the administration has its abode will be one of the finest in the world when finished. This is all very well, but in a young country crying out for roads and railways and bridges, it seems somewhat out of place. The difficulty lies in the fact that the opposition being so weak, the government can really do exactly a large and somewhat unquestioning, majority, It would be of the greatest benefit to the country if a moderate party could: be formed from both sides 9f the house which would hold the balance in their hand and so insure better legislation.
