A GALLANT FEAT.
In September last, whilst second officer of the steamship Dartus, disabled in the Indian Ocean, Me Reginald Lyon Iastonovolunteered to take charge of an open boat and proceed to Padang, 650 nites distance, in order to obtain succour for his vessel. This mission he success fully accomplished, in spite of many difficulties, being 13 days in the boat, while for seven days he had no opportunities for making observa tions us to his position, owing to the aun being 'obscured. On the amival of Mr. Instone" in Calcutta, he was presented by the shipmasters in the port with a gold medal, Sir John Wood- Burn, Lieut-Governor of Bengal, making the presentation, and Mr. Instone has now also been awarded Lloyd's medal for meritorious services "an honorary acknowledgement of his extraordinary exertions,"
MAGAZINE RIFLES
Capt. W. H. James, late R, E., writes on the question of our infantry armament, saying, while there can be no doubt that the ballistic capabilities of our ride are equal to, if not slightly better than those of any other European Power, there are two points in which it is dis- tinctly inferior.

The first is the breech bolt, which is unneces- sary complicated and clumsy. The secondl, and by far the most important, is the fact that ours is only a single loader, whereas every other Power that has hdopted the magazine rifle has adapted the system of clip loaders with it. The clip, as a rule, contains five cartridges, and these can be loaded by one motion into the rifte. We have a magazine which holds ten rounds, but once that is exhausted the rifle becomes a single loader, and only one cartridge can be insexted at a time, for it would be im possible and undesirable when undek fire to fill up the mykazine by single cartridges, which would take the time requied to fire at least six to wight shots. The magazine is supposed to be used at the "supreme moment." What that mosens is will be a matter of opinion amongst the trips under fire, and it is uncommonly likely to take place before our men actually close with the enemy, Why we have per sistently set out fices against clip loaders passes my wit to understand. I believe at the present uutent experiments are being made with the system" it seems to me unfortunate that these were not auried out years ago, when the Lee-Blake, E. Metford was first introduced into the army.
WHEN EUROPE MAY INTERVENE.
AN AMERICAN VIEW.
If there was at an earlier stage in the South African war-any-disposition on the part of the European powers to intervene between the bel ligerents it has since been disavowed. Un- debtedly Britain expected an attempt of inter- vention from seanu quarter-either from France or Germany or Russia or from all three of them, clic no reasonable explanation can be given of the assembling of her fleets at the outbreak of hustilities, for neither her coasts nor her commerce, were in danger of attack from the two inland and fleetless republics with which she is waging war.

Hy cannon consent all nations have so fu kept hands off and given the belligerents a free rein. There is no issuance in, the present attitude of the great Eureperin powers, however, that they will continue to reinais passive. The profabilities are that they are waiting the Soal outcome of the struggle when theirke, R. time will be opportune for inte
Davies, Capt F intervention, in which every power of any consequence in Devaney, M. Europe will be arrayed against England. If the South
African republics triumph intervention will doubtiesss follow to secure for them the legitimate fruits of success and to protect the interests of each of the powers which have obtained a foothold on the continent of Africa. Besides, such an opportunity for the humiliation of England, with whiet no nation in Europe is to-day on Lerns of cordial friendship, will not be allowed to pass without being utilized. If, on the other hand, the British finally succeed in the conquest of the Free State and the Transvaal, Europe will intervene to curb the territorial avarice of England. For either course the history of modern times provides precedents.
England herself fumished a precedent in 1873 far stripping the victor of the legitimate spoils of war when she intervened to prevent Russia from reaping the fruits of her war with Turkey which were accorded, to her under the of San Stefano. That treaty ceded to treaty Russia the portion of Bessarabia which had been taken from her at the close of the Crimean war also Kars, Batoum and the adjoining territory in Asia Minor The independence of Servia, Montenegro and Roumania was also recognized. Over these principalities the Porte had previously exercised a suzerainty, Bulgaria was constituted an autonomous state, tributary, however, to the Porte. Virtually all of these principalities were placed within the sphere of Russian influence and domination.
During the war England had occupied a passive altitude, although its moral support was given to Turkey. But as soon as the treaty of San Stefano was signed, Beaconsfield, who was then Premier, refused to give his assent to its terms, and, taking advantage of Russia's weak ened condition after an exhaustive conflict, preparation for war were made. The British fleel was assembled the Dardanelles. Troops were brought from India to Malta, and Russia was intimidated in to submitting the results of the war to a revisionary congress, which was opened at Berlin on June 13, 1878 Great Hamilton, Capt By G. -Volkmann, J, T.

The other, European powers which were parties to the treaty have not forgotten the trick played upon theni.
