TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN AMERICA AND ASIA.
It is worth trmembering at the present time that in the Senate of the United Statza, on May 13th, 1896, Mr. Gesy lntroduced the following bill, which was said twice and referred to the Com mitee on Foreign Relations:-
A DILL To revive and amend and extend the Act of Congress of Augyn!

Now that the Japanese garris keeps strict guard over the town the lawless billmen are begtaning to feel the pangs of hunger. They often come down from their mountains and seem to look for an opportunity to fall upon the town. According to the latest reports, received from Talwaniu I gather that :-
From the morning of oth. Inst., the rebels continued firing at Japanese sentinels in Sim- taupo, closing in by degrees. With the same result as the preceeding day the engagement was resumed the next morning.

MORE NOMEY FOR TICHNICAL EDUCATION.
Mr. Williams urges that more money should be spent on Technical Education. He says that Mr. Ritchie estimates that we spend £1,000,000 a year upon that now; but it is foilgolfcant and hill-herrled, and it would be indeed difficult for Mr. Williams localala where that money goes. His owd suggestion on the subject is as follows:
There is one suggestion I desire to put for ward. The Technical Inst action Act provides for fastraction in the principles of science and art applicable to industries and in the applics tion of special branches of science and art to specific Industries; but it forbids teaching the practice of an industry.
