known aninng Asiatic students. Besides being a member of the Royal Asiatic Society, he is a Fellow both of the Authropological Institute and the Royal Colonial Institute. In 1883, the year in which his father, the late Sir H. N. Clifford, V.C., G.D., -KQ.M.G, died, Mr. ffordd entered the Malay States Civil Service as a cadet, passing his final examinations in the following year. Since 1887, when he was sent on special mission to the Sultan of Pahang, Mr. Clifford has been intimately con- nected with that district. In 1887-58 he was Governor's Agent there, and served as Acting Resident at different times from 1890-1895 lle was confirmed as British Agent in 1898 Mr. Clifford is well known in the world of letters, and is part-author, with Sir Frank Swettenham, of a dictionary of the Malay language. He is particularly well known for studies of Malay subjects, on which he is an authority.
THE TRIAL OF THE FRENCH CONSPIRATORS.
SOME COMIC INTERLUDES.
AN INSTANCE IN POINT FROM LADYSMITH,
Some one has defined martial law as "no law," and that is accurate enough for ordinary purposes. Almost anything and everything can be done under martial law. It is properly the exercise of arbitrary power by the supreme authority in a country or district, where the or dinary administration has ceased to be opera tive. One curious instance of the absolutely free hand that a general in command has in a district in which martial law has been pro- claimed is contained in some private corres pondence from Ladysmith and published in the Birmingham Gascife. It is a lady, who is writing after Elands Langte, Ste says: "Every public building is commandeered and many of the private houses. A house was being built. It was finished and occupied by a newly- married couple. It suited General White's purpose, so he commandeered it; they had twenty minutes in which to leave it, just as it was. The lady is on her way to England; her husband, of course, must stay here. It is now

I hear more houses have been taken to-day. 1 One of the most amusing books in the French language is volume called "Les tremble every time an officer inuks at me for fear they want my house. We are under marof sketches of the humour of the French law Tribunaux Comiques." It consists of a series tial law, and cannot say one word."
No rules are laid down for the application of courts. Were its auther, Jules Moineau, alive, martial law, because it is not recognized in he would find ample and unsurpassable material British jurisprudence. The general may treat

The trial of the law that is, the law contained in the Army desperate conspirators unmasked by the belated Act of 1881, which, though often confounded vigilance of the Republican authorities offers with it by the lay person, is quite distinct from day by day an abundant crop of comic inter- martial law. He may, indeed, treat the popula. Judes. tion in any way that commends itself to him, though it is assumed that he will do his best to maintain order. All this sounds rather alarm ing, but it is mitigated by the thought that if one is a British subject, the military man, where he does anything ordinarily held to be illegal, will have to justify his action before Parliament, and thus obtain an indemnity on the ground, of course, that such action was necessary.
THE INDISCRETION OF COUNT MURAVIEFF.
A PLOT AGAINST ENGLAND THAT FAILED.
The
"Diplomaticus" contributes to the forth coming December number of the Fortnightly Review an article entitled "Count Muravie's Indiscretion.". It is now an open secrel," he says, "that Count Muravieff, the Tsar's Alinis- ter of Foreign Affairs, was emboldened by the anti-British agitation on the Continent to sound certain of the Powers with a view to European intervention, in our quarrel with the South African Republics. The iden was, to speak frankly, as silly as it was mischievous, and, as a matter of fact, it failed by reason of its own transcendant ineptitude. Minister's friends now speak of it lightly as an indis- cretion, but I am afraid that is not quite the word that the sober student of public affairs will apply to it. Whatever its defects, however, 1 is at any rate an event of no linte political significance. The real key to the Anglopho- bia on the Continent, the writer thinks, lies in the fact that we are experiencing to-day a fresh triumph of political reaction in Europe. * Everywhere the classic mid-century Libera lism, of which England was the prophet, and is still the chief exponent, is in sore straits. The result is that everywhere on the Continent the Reactionaries, with their tradi- tional hatred of England, are again in the ascendant." Anglophobe reaction has been further strengthened by the local political or ganization of Roman Catholicism, by the in- fluence of Russia in Republican France the Colonial movements; and the Christian Socia list movements, with its adjunct of anti-Semitism. The writer asks why the independence of the Republics would serve the purposes of the Powers, and proceeds to answer it thus: "That while the Republics remain independent Grest Britain has, for the first time in her history, a land frontier exposed to formidable attack by white Power whose aggressions cannot be hampered or diverted by any operations of our fleet," Such a white Power is a possible ally for any European enemy of Great Britain-in

The prisoners are lamentably wanting in respect for the august tribunal that is to decide their fate, and in spite of the Municipal Guard that Banks them on each side, it is impossible for President Fatières to avve them into anything resembling becoming behaviour. Their language-they are always talking, gesticulating, and bounding to their feet-is most distressing. Never before have the grave precincts of the Senate re-echoed the vulgar or rivial stang expressions constantly resorted to by the accused and the witnesses. One moment the senators hear themselves contemptuously referred to as foires, a disparaging appellation that may be inadequately translated "fatheads," the next the solemnity of the court is disturbed by loud cries of Houchent which is a facetious mode, in honour among the buser sort, of demanding silence. Some of the witnesses, at aluss fur words, resort to dumb-showexhibitions, which, though inelegant, are considered in Thus, popular circles to be expressive. one Bottler, a butcher, confronted with another witness of epision contrary to his dan, after giving his adversary a meaning glance, ustentatiously drew out his hand kerchief and held his nose.
He has since been interviewed, and confessed with legitimate pride that M. Déroulede has sent him his photograph and autograph in commemoration of his heroic attitude. The Senators have also been treated to the gesture familiar to the vulgar little boy of the "Ingoldsby Legends."
These side incidents enliven a trial that otherwise excites no interest, The very Judges have a difficulty in eoncealing their boredom. On Saturday it was found, after a suspension of the sitting, that over a score of them had played truant. The prisoner's counsel naturally entered a protest on the ground that it is in cumbent on a judge to hear the evidence. To-day the protest has been disallowed in a delightfully-worded ruling which sets forth that the Senators who answer to their names at the roll-call with which the proceedings begin every day shall be considered to have been present throughout, "even though they have beer absent during the deliberations." The trial is now practically certain to drag on into January, when it will end in the condemnation of the principal culprits. It is rumoured, however, that there will be a few acquittals. There is a M. de Chevilly, for instance, the evidence | against whom is confined to five compromising telegrains. The proscation has had to admit that he could not possibly have been the author of them, and in these circumstances the Senators may scruple to convict bim.—P. df. Gaselte.

Those were apparently the circumstances which suggested to Muravieff his extraordinary scheme for bringing European pressure to bear on Great Britain in the South African question. After ruling out Austria and Italy the writer says there remained in relief a possible quad ruple alliance Germany, France, Russia, and Spain.
