Ship subsidy bill fails as Zeballos laments loss of chance
Buenos Ayres March 1 Estanislao Zeballos Argentine foreign minister and former envoy to the United States says if the ship subsidy bill had known prospects it would have passed. He cites rising Argentine imports from 18 million to 40 million and exports from 7 million to 18 million in 1900 to 1906 as proof of mutual benefits from reciprocal tariff concessions and better ocean links. Zeballos hopes American lawmakers will support closer commercial relations benefiting both nations.

First Street Gas Lamps and the Dawn of Gas Lighting
January 24 marks the centenary of the first experimental gas lighting on an English street. Frederick Albert Winsor lit Pall Mall on January 28, 1807, with gas, following earlier ideas by William Murdoch. Murdoch, a Scottish miner, pioneered conveying gas in tubes and built a gas lantern for night travel on Cornish moors. Murdoch’s demonstrations inspired Lebon in Paris, and Winsor faced opposition but pressed on, with gas lighting expanding after 1810 as Westminster Bridge and other streets adopted the new source of light.
