We passed on down a long broad street whose only inhabitants were what Kipling called "dainty fuiquities," curiously quiet and orderly, turned sharp to the left throngs a dark gateway and found ourselves looking through a wladow on a silent shape lying on a stone slab-the morguo.
One could not help being struck with the very this to one at our waides we learnt that here as elsewhere over India the prestige of the raling race has a great controlling power. As a fact, the chief trouble the police hare at night is when some saller, maddened with the vile liquor he bas bought in soma native grog shop, breaks Ost, We were to have a startling example of this. We had just entered a "carlos sort of music ball frequented by very rough customers, when we saw salior, who bad evidently beca haring some sort of dispute, cuddenly pull out a Kalle and go for a man. They seemed to be ready for this sort of thing, for before he could do any serious mischief two policemen were on him, and the arms that hald the kaffe was smashed with blow from a truncheon. Unfortunately, they did not stop there, and it was a sickening sight to see how the poor wretch was battered about. He bid to be carried away by the police. It seemed horribly brutal, but presumably soft measure are not for a maddened ruffian with a big kalfo in his band, and the power and will to nie If.
For the rest of our wanderings it would be neither plassent to recall or tell them, only pictures of pics and fill in the most repulsive form. It was with a feeling of relief from look- tog on what was only horrible that we returned home.

Typhoons, which are of a cyclonic nature, are dae primarily to the appearance, gederally within the sea enclosed by the Philippines, the Western Carelines, and the Mariana Islandu, of a local area of low barometer. In lis incipient stages, the deficiency of pressure throughout this area may be very blight, amonating generally to but a few hundrediks of an luch. Under favourable con- ditions, the depression deepent, at the same time assuming a circular or oval shape.

Nowhere bas it been recognised that a creditor la tatitled to impose new toms of debtor, or to lay hands on the latter's property, so long as the conditions under which the debt was contracted are duly fulfilled. If the Government in St. Petersburg had entertained the project of having the direction of the Mail Ume Customs of China transferred to a Russian subject, the time of guaranteeing the loan would have been the moment for pushing that design.. No such opportunity can occur again unless China fails to discharge her stipulated obliga. It seems to us that the importance of Russia's monetary Intervention in 1895 has been | greatly overestimated. London is the world's last resort in financial affalts, und so long as huge sums of British expital await forestment, it is inconceivable that a paltry debt of filteen millions sterling should be suffered to furnish a pretext for imperiiling Brillah interests of large magnitude in the Far East, Any menace to China's integrity, or may contingency distastefal to England, arising out of the Middle Kingdom's debi to Russia, could be at once avonted by re- course to British capital.

It should not be forgaiten' that British statesmen watch all these matters far more closely and with far keener insight then any essayist or journalist. Every step taken by Russia is the object of shup scrutiny. Less intangible, perhaps, is the apprehension sofra. quently expressed, and now repeated by Black wood's essayist, that the Siberian Raliway is to be ran through Manchuria to Fort Arthur. It is withla the range of conception, but barely within the range, that Rusela may contemplate such a proceeding. On a previous occasion, however, we pointed out the Ragrast inconsistency be
