TMlnlO.1 : COfJTfiftGT LET British Firms Get It, Although American Bids Were Lower There's a Reason. BRITISH LIBEL LAW ; NEEDS MODIFICATION Effort Will Be Made to Relieve Newspapers of Kingdom of Some of Their Evils. (Associated Press Cable) London, Sept 1. Turkey, has at Inst definitely awarded the contract for a battleship of the so-called dreadnought" type to W. O. Arm strong, Whltworth eV Co., of Newcas- tle-on-Tyne and to VHkers Limited, the latter to furnish the armament. The government reserves the right of ordering another vessel at the same pr!e. The new battleship. It Is said, will Ihj the largest warship In the world. The price to be paid is considerably higher than that at which the Beth lehem Steel company of America In conjunction with another English firm offered to bulla the ships. However, is the Grand Vizier candidly told a diplomat who was supporting the ten der of the American company, Turkey hy placing the contract with the suc cessful tenderers will obtain compen ratlon In other directions which will more than make up for the Increased cost of the ship. It has not yet been disclosed of what these compensations will consist, hut It is generally understood that the British minister at Constantinople was ible to Inform the Porte that the ac ceptance of the Armstrong tender might Induce the British government to look with a kindlier eye on the Turkish proposals for the settlement of certain questions outstanding be tween the two countries. Among those were questions arising out of the steamboat monopoly, held by a Brit ish comprny to operate steamers on Turkish rivers; non-interference with Turkey's plans In All'imln; and the long-standing dispute over the build ing of the Bagdad railway. On the latter subject active negotiations are now proceeding in the Turkish capi tal, with good prospects of success and the ultimate completion of the line. i Besides the support of the govern ment the British shipbuilders have good press agents, and frequent para graphs appear In the London papers in which it Is Intimated that among other contracts that for the bulUling of the Chilian warships is to b given to Englund, ' As a matter of fact these contracts have not. been let and It may be months before they are. Ameri can, British and continental firms all have agents In the Chilian capital and even before the fall of the late gov ernment very little progress had been made towards the signing of the contracts. ...'--"'. An effort Is at last to be made to relieve the newspapers of Englund from some of the evlie they suffer un der the present law of libel. Besides having to pay many claims of a black mailing character. Invariably when a newspaper defends an action for libel the Jury gives the claimant heavy damages, very often against the ad vice of the judge. To avoid this Sir George Toulmln has introduced a bill In the house of commons, which pro vldoa that If a judge Is satisfied that the alleged libel Is trivial, and that he words complained of have been published In good faith, he may stay all proceedings, unless the plaintiff gives security for the defendant's costs. . Other provisions of the bill are that fair and accurate reports of public meetings, proceedings In court and the finding of the courts, although the finding be subsequently varied, and any fair and bona fide comment thereon, shall be privileged. At pres ent a paper cannot comment on any verdict until It has reached the final court, hy which time In many cases, nil public interest In the matter has been lost. . The house of commons has lost one of Its oldest and most popular figures. In the sudden death of Collins, the heed-welter of the smoking-room.' He had charge of what Is known as the ITpper smoking-room, one of the ex clusive rooms Into which the mem bers cannot introduce a stronger Collins, an Irish cockney, was one ofi those quiet, unobtrusive servants of the old school, who knew the wants of all his clients and took them their accustomed drink as soon as they en tered the room. . He, too, was full of information and Chancellor Lloyd Oeorge once said that when he wished to know what the house of commons was going to do he went to the best informed man Collins. ' One of the Interesting features of the procession of the Oorsedd Bards to the Mystic Circle at the Eisteddfod, the national assembly of Welsh bards at Carmarthen, Wales, was the pre sentatlon of a daughter of the poet Henry W. Longfellow to the venerable archdrutd. In company with a party of 100 Welsh-Americans expect to make an annual pilgrimage to the gathering.
