The city of Irkutsk is apparently 'in imminent danger of falling into the hands of the Social Revolutionary mutineer | 5 A state of siego was declared on December 95th The situation is growing daily more serious since the resolution by the Irkutsk Municipal Council to form a new Government composed exclusively of the Socialista, which was followed by the determined efforts by the Social Revolu tionists to gain power. The Social Re volutionists believed that the conference of representatives of the Zomatros would form a Government but at the first meet ing of this conference it was decided to convoke

As a consequence of alarmist rumours of the Inwatall of the Irkutsk Government, so crder has been issued to the provincial Governors to be more than ever on guard and take measures to prevent anti-Govern- mental demonstrations.

HOBINSON CRUSOE'S MUSKET.
Our museums are full of the weapons of kings, generala, and famous men, bat Robinson Crusoe's gun is still in private hands. It has just come back to London to the custody of its owner, Mr. Berana, after a tour of the museums of the coan- try.
