LONDON, 21st March. Additional particulars regarding the triplo murder in the Rue Montaigne, Paris, have been l received here. The assassin has not yet been discovered and fear is expressed that he may enc seed in escaping detection. Such a conclusion Voodo is not a compliment to the police, but it must be Nagaka rememborod that several noteworthy instances W baze oscurred of late in which the perpetrators work of three ghastly grimes have got off sont free. Thas the murdererse! Mario Agustint and of two other women who were killed, respectively in the Eus. Borgere and the Parengs Soumier, have never been found. All three women be longed to the same class as Marie Regnault and there fa a strange and signideant similarity in the manner in which they were made away with. So much is this the case that the opinion is en- tertained by many that they are all murdered by one and the same person.

The mysterious lover has never cropped up.. It is on the presumption that he is the culprit, that all those pessimistio predictions are based. In the mean time the police are still in search of belief in his guilt, and they have published a brief list of valuables which he is supposed to have stolea. Thess include a gold watch in the shape of a heart, & cross in brilliants which Marie Regnault was zotually wearing at this time of the marder, a pair of earrings, a ring.png bracelet. and pares in gold and silver network.
Forty or fifty years ago the numbers of Mabooredana in Chinn were but few, and most of them were in Tunas, Kweichow, and Kemen. The Moslems were so few and so insignideant in strength that no Chinese ruler seriously regard them. Since then tu faith of Islam has spread fast, and it is said that there are now 90 millions of the followers of the pro- phet in China. The crescent wares great and wide, and the Mabomedam are so strong in some province, and so woll banded together, as to cause diequist to the official. It is morally the drug, about one maco. It is the differenes Geissler, the Australian. They aunounce their certain that if Yakub had made torms with the Tungans and Draganie of the desert the course of history to-day would have been different from what it in, for the Andijani of Kashgar was real maunas to the Dragon Thrond and was justly so regarded in Peking. Were Chins to become Montent, the Tataing dynasty would be <verburned; but if Christianity waxed strong there would be no such danger. And it is not theory but a feat that the rulers of China are disposed to look with toleranes and even with favour upon Christianity, with the offensive poli- tical elements eliminated. The tire is, there fore, favourable for establishing a clear and solid understanding and amicable relations at Peking between the Christian religion and the Imperial Government
