NURSES FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
Mrs. Richard Chamberlain and Miss Amy Chamberlain, ajster-in-law. and niece to Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, who have gone out to assist in nursing the sick and wounded, have neither of them had any special training, but. both have proved themselves good nurses. Their original idea had been to proceed to Vryburg, and, though not Roman Catholics themselves, to help the nuns in that quat But now it is very probable that they will just go where their help is most needed.
INDIAN REFUGEES FROM THE TRANSVAAL.
The Clan Line steamer Clan Graham, which arrived in Bombay on the 11th November from Delagoa Bay, brought 873 refugees-769 man, 51 women, ag boys, 10 girls, and 14 infants. Their story is that they were ordered by the authorities in the Transvant to pave Boer (or ritory within a week, and to go to Delagoa Bay, where shipping would be provided to take them to india. Three thousand Indians acted up to this order, but the treatment they ex- perienced at the hands of the Portuguese was undesirable in the extreme. Each of them was possessed of several pounds, and they were robbed of nearly all they had. Their women were ill treated at Koomatipoort, in the Trans. vaal, and at other places. The remaining Indians will arrive within a short time.

THE RANGOON OUTRAGE
CASE.
The orders of the Government of India have now been issed in respect to the conduct of the civil officers who were concerned in the recent Rangoon outrage case. Of the apathy and negligence displayed by them in the investiga tion of the case it was known that the Govern- ment proposed to take serious notice, and an expression of severe censure from the Govern
nent of India has been conveyed to the Com- missioner of the Pegu Division, the Commis sioner of Police, Rangoon, the Cantonment Magistrate and the District Magistrate.
Of course, the full text of the orders must be forthcoming in such a case as this, says the Rangoon Gazette. Even the present Viceroy cannot thus publicly censure trusted and ex- perienced officials Burma without letting the public know the facts on which he bases his conclusions.
STRANGE FATALITY AT RANGOON.
He
G. H. Sibery, third officer on board the 13. I. 3.5. Ellora, which lies moored to the Hļotatoung buoy, committed suicide this morning by shoot: ing himself through the head. The second officer, Mr. Burgess, who witnessed the act, said that the accused who had been on shore that night, returned on board at 4.30 am. was perfectly sober and went into his cabin and undressed. Mr. Burgess followed bim and the deceased, who was in his singlet and pyjamas, asked him to split a soda. Mr. Bur- gess agreed, and they sat down and gottalking aboul English history. While this conversation was going on, the deceased get up from his chair and took a Snider carbine from the rack. Burgess heard him open and shut the breech block but did not know until afterwards that he had loaded the weapon. Sibery then point. ed the carbine at Burgess's head and said he would shoot him. Burgess laughed and told him that he
to shoot a better man. Upon which deceased said: "By God,
will," and "instantly putting the muzzle to his forehead over the left eye pulled the trigger. Sibery was killed on the spot, the whole of the forehead having been blown away and there being a large hole in the top of the skull. A large, portion of his brains was found in a corner. The ball after striking the roof re bounded and went out through the door, cutting a groove in which a man might place his finger in the starboard rail. The cabin, it should be stated, was situated in the centre of the deck aft Burgess then rushed out and called the chief officer. The deceased, who was 24 years of age, was, we believe, an old Conway boy. Not a suspicion was entertained by any one on the ship that. deceased was wrong in his head, but some days before his death he said to one of the officers that he should like to know what sort of wound a bullet would inflict, and that he should like to see the wounds in flicted on our men in the Boar war.. Mr. Burgess evidently had a narrow escape, la may be that the unfortunate officer did not know that the carbine was loaded and supposed he was fooling about with an empty weapon.
Later in the inqury held by the Western magistrale, Mr. Burgess said that the deceased was rather a reserved man, He used some- times to talk about his responsibilities, having a niece dependent on him. The only reason witness could give for the deceased's act was that he used to have fits of depression and was very much disappointed because he was unable "Witness's statement to the to go home, -magistrate slightly differed from the report he made to the police. In court he said that after deceased kad, levelled the weapon at him and he had pushed the muzzle away with his hand and told him to shoot a better man, that he then saw deceased raise his hand to the shelf, go through motions of loading and then placing the muzzle of the carbine to his fore- head, raise it to a horizontal position and firs Witness thought at first that decensed had fred over his shoulder to startle him, until he saw the

FRANCE IN AFRICA.
PREPARATIONS TO SEIZE MOROCCO,
LONDON, November 2nd. St. James Gazette (London) published an article dealing with the French policy in Africa. It states, amongst other matters, that France is preparing a strong military expedition to be sent inic Morocco with a view of seizing
that State.
The French territory in Northern Africa consists of the whole of the seaboard of Algeria, stretching backwards into the country to the south for rodeg. of latitude, and thence inde. finitely through the French Soudan.. line has also been drawn south-westerly from Algeria, following the coast line of the Moorish tribes, to Senegambia, at Cape Verde. Morocco is included under this boundary, which would give the French a coast line of many hundreds
of miles in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic
