Cable From Captain Amundsen Says He Attained the Goal December 14th. A despatch from London says : Captain Uxild Amundsen has dis- covered the South Pole. Definite news has bcni received in London, via Christiania, that he reached the Pole between the 14th and 17th of December. December "14 to 17" is taken to mean by experts that when he reached the geographical Pole Amundsen waited three days, taking noon observations so as to accurately determine his posit i< n and exclude uncertainty- -that is to say, to c-tulil'sh proofs that wou.d be incontrovertible. The London Chronicle adds : England will wait most anxiously for news of the Scott expedition. Though robbed of its crowning glory, geography and science will undoubtedly profit from it. Cap- tain Amundsen's expedition, which has now ended successfully, was originally planned for the conquest of the north pole, but hearing the news which Peary brought back, Amundsen showed his resource and promptness of decision by at once steaming south to the region which still offered a similar prize. He has won that pri/.o. To England the glory of discovery neither the north nor the south pole has fallen, but in the story of the exploration of the groat ice continents this country played a splendid part, and we can join heartily with the whole world to day in offering to the conqueror and to Norway a meed of praise which is so well deserved. The prize has been finely won. It. has also beeti grandly lost." New picture of Capt. Amundsen, who reached the South Pole. PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS REPORT* FROM THE LEADING TRADE CENTRES OF AMERICA.

He added that if the C.P.R. had not undertaken to build this road the province build it. would have had to to be transferred in April from Kiel to Wilhemshafen, and will be per- manently stationed in the North Sea. 'The journal explained that the transfer has nothing to do with An- glo-German relations, declaring that Germany is only following Eng- land's lead in concentrating her naval strength in those waters, "under the prudent assumption that in the wars of the future tho most important decisions will fall in the North Sea."

First Time in History to Be Employed For Scouting in War A despatch from Tripoli says: For the first time in history a big dirigible balloon has been used for scouting purposes by the Italian army in actual warfare. The great airship floated far out over the de- sert and the aviators were able to get a good view of the Arabs' posi- tion. When the dirigible left camp the warships in the harbor fired a salute. Afterward a second diri- gible was sent into the air and the two, working in unison, saiVd over the enemy's camp at Zansur, diop ping bombs en route. It is report- ed that many were killed and in- jured by the explosives. The battalian of Askaris, Italian native troops from Kritres, had their bajatism of fire, carrying out a reconnaissance. They attacked a superior force of Arabs, and held their own well. Finally they wera compelled to retreat, but did so in order, until they reached an open space, Askaris had nine men killed .'it.'l where they wheeled and drove >ff the enemy by well-directed vol-
