of the North Sea incident, says his

London,

time limit for tbs receipt of Rus

erally understood today that the
route of the Russian squadron past
Oibraltar will be barred by the
channel squadron, commanded by

ford.
At 3 o ’clock this afternoon Lord
Lansdowne expressed his belief that
a peaceful settlement would be ar
rived at.
London, Oct. 27.— A very definite
impression prevails in diplomatic
circles here that France has given
both Russia and Great Britain ex

not be involved should the disput

Husband who Beats W ile.
"The whipping-post should be
established to provide a punishment
for wifebeaters,” said Sig Michel
this morning.
Mr. Siehel is a
member of
the Police Board
and also a State Senator. He way
introduce such a bill at the next
session of the Legislature.
"That is the only way to punish
sufficieutly and effectually such
brutal men,” continued the law
maker, discussing the recent cases
of wifebeating which the police
have had to handle. ‘‘To imprison
a man who has abused his wife only
takes the support from the family.
If a man is fined heavily, that also
works a great hardship on the fam
ily, as it deprives them from the
money which would be used to pur
chase food and to provide protec
tion.
"If a man fouud guilty of such a
charge were severely whipped he
could be released immediately, and
the protection of the family would
continue. If this punishment were
meted out there would bo less cruel-
ty toward woman.” —Telegram.
