They got out of their rickshaws to investigate the cause, when they were surrounded and mobbed by the crowd. They tried to defend themsolves with their canes, but the whole village- turned out to attack them.

The Tibet Mission, London, February 26.-In the House of Lords, Lord Hardwicko, replying to the criticisms of Lord Reay, said that, after the Thibet Convention of 1890, there was no alternative but to see it carried out thoroughly.

tion was impossible for the Indian and British Governments to tolerate, and for that reason they were insisting on a final settlement, and declined to promise, that Colonel Younghusband should not go beyond the Gyantse. That must depend on the Thibetans. If the Lamas preferred the arbitrament of the sword, we must accept the challenge.
Lord Ripon ridiculed the idea of the invasion of India through Thibet.
Lord Rosebery said it was impossible to recall the Mission till it was possible to leave a firm impression.
Lord Lansdowne said the Government's - view was that the independence of Thibet" should be recognised, but, if any Power was to exercise preponderance thero, it must be Great Britain. That had been made sufficiently clear to the Thibetans, whose confidence in Russian support bad, contributed largely to our difficulties.

The Heathen Ühinee' is not the only person whose ways are 'poculiar.' Miss Deane reveals to us the Italian antiquary at home. Not only his sordidness but also his delight in the possession of gonuine antiques in cleverly woven on the warp of a story slightly out of the common The heroine and the romance are alike Anglo-Italian. The authoress would probably agree with the Italian who ro marked that a summer in England was like looking up a chimney, while a winter was like looking down one.' English dulness is darkened as a background for Italian brightness. So it is larkely with the characters. At the one extreme is the Britisher dour-but true as steel: at the other is the sprig of Italian aristocracy, lively-but frothy. Midway is the heroine, chirpy and bright, but also with strong ten- acity, deep feeling and loyalty of soul. The movement of the story in general is rapid, with quick changes of fortune around the gaming-tabo, the studio, the antiquary's shop, and family heirlooms. In particular, the romance moves slowly but surely to s desirable end. All's well that ends well

Mr Chamberlain seemed well and hearty, and was most pleasant and friendly on board to everyone. Mr. Chamberlain WHA cbeered by the second-class passengers, and i it was arranged that he should visit the second-class saloon, where the ex-Secretary of State for the Colonies supplied his autograph to a great many of the pass engers. He was also besieged for hiw antograph by the 1st saloon ladies, and good-naturedly acceded to all the requests made. Mr. Chamberlain received a great send-off as he went ashore at Port Said, On the day before Port Said was reached the second class passangers asked him to empire in cricket match between a Colonial ard » British uloven.

The French Squadron.
The following telegram from appears in the Standard: -M. Tissier, M. Pelletan's principal Secretary at the Min- istry of Marino, has denied to a representa tive of the Matin, the report that the French Government intends to reinforce BLEND its Fleet in the Far East. The cruiser, probably the Descartes, which will be sent out to that station, is to replace the Bugeaud, which has completed its com- mission. The four torpedo-destroyers to go out are not to reinforce Admiral Baylo's Squadron, but to join the mobile defence of Saigon. They were being sont, added M. Tissier, in accordanco with a scheme for the organisation of the various Naval bases, which the Minister had drawn up some months ago. As part of this programme, two submarines recently sent to Bizerta,
dock to Diego Suarez; while, later, a and two torpedo destroyers and a floating torpedo flotilla will be sent to Dakkar. As to the submarines, M. Tissier said that, as 500n as enough had been built, they would be distributed among the various Naval bases abroad. At present this was impos sible, the number for the home ports being insufficient.

3 Since Dr Koyt has become familiar with the work of the Port, no complaints have reached this Government, and His Excellency does not propose, therefore, to disturb an arrangement whereby the Go- verningnt practically secures the service of three Health Officers for the Port instead of two, as provided in the Establishment of the Colony.

Mr Herbert Samuel asked the Secretary for the Colonies for what reason the defini tion in the first draft of the Transvaal La bour Importation Ordinance of the premires to which Chinese labourers were to be 'con- fined, so as to include a circle of one mile round the place where they were working, had been struck out; premises in Section 18, 19, and 20 of the amended draft of the Ordinance.
Mr Lyttelton I am informed by Lord Milnor that the definition of the term pre- mises in the first draft was omitted, as under it, owing to the position of certain mines in Johannesburg, the labourers would have uncontrolled access to the most

Of course, if the Leader of the Opposition, or any other member on the Front Beach opposite, asked for a day for a Vote of Censure, the Government would at onev give it.

The Fashoda Revelations.
M. de Lanessan, formerly Governor of French possessions in the Far Fast and later Minister for Marine, writing in the Paris Siecle, vigorously protests against the attempt to drag Fiance into a useless war. Ho declares that France at the time of the Fashoda crisis was no more able to waga n maritime war in Europe than a colonial war in the Far East. M. de Lanesas laughs at the idea of Russia being able to march upon India, and asks who is reveal ing the Fashoda negotiations to instigate the French to support Russia?
The Navy Estimates. The Estimates for the Admiralty for 1904-5 were laid on the table of the House of Commons last night. The Estimates amount to £36,890,000, being an increase of £2,441,500 or the Estimates of the pro- vious year.

Mr. H.
