Several of the London Papers to-day pub. lished leading artistes upon the recaption of the Soudan Contingent in Sydney, the - Daily | Chronicle, ealogises Lord Loitus's speech which it says was worthy of the occasion and paid a well merited complimont to Catonel Richardson's foros. The Pall Mall Gazette rejoins in the spirit that animated the Contingent in volva- skary teering for the Saudar and says the new Cabinet has a splendid opportauity of turning to the defence of the Eapiro tho patriotic spirit dis played by the solouiss. It urges that a well-considered sekoms for the defensa of
the colonies be at once enbmitted to the various colonies. The Globe says the demon stration in Sydney affords a gratifying testimony
of the patriotism of the sitiens of Now South
Watos. It regards the presence of visitors from the other colonies as evidence of the force of pablo opinion.in the direction of tedyration..
27th June.
Friday's Daily Telegraph, commenting upon
the arrival and reception of the Contingent, re-
marks that the terms of the dignified ecngratula tion wherewith Lord Loftus welcomed the Con- tingent batted the occasion. nad dwells on tha enthusiastic Joyalty to the Queens and sellisrly qualities displayed by them in the Soudan. The same paper concurs with Lord Loftus in the declaration that the notion of the man has practically established Iraporial Fotomation and given the world sn ascorsies of the worthiness of Australians for defending the Empire.
