The charge was one of common assault, and he was at counsel's demand examined for in- sanity, and when stripped he was found to have endless pictures of the "Afair" tattooed all over his body.
Since the relief of Paking, no glory has been won. The expeditions, organised by Count Walderses in the neighbourhood of the capital have scarcely seemed worthy of a great world Power like Germany; and, as they have so often failed to achieve their pupose of bring- ing China to terms, the feeling that the sooner the Allies withdrew the better became almost universal.

-SECRECY AS TO HER MISSION.
Among the passengers on board the Union Castle mail steamship Dunvegan Castle, which arrived at Southampton from South Africa this morning, says the Pall Mall Gazette of the | 8th elt, was Mrs. Louis Botha, wife of the Boer General, who is generally believed to have come to Europe on a peace mission. The statements on this subject me of a most.com. tradictory character. While on the one hand it has been, said that Mrs. Botha has come to Europe in the interests of peace, it has also been declared that her visit is purely for health reasons. Mrs. Dotha, who is accompanied by Mr. H. G. R. Fischer, son of a foriner State Secretary of the Orange Free State, and her son, has throughout refused to say anything about the object of her journey. She is not in good health, and has kept herself aloof from the other passengers. She declined to see any journalist on her arrival here, and sent word by Mr. Fischer to that effeci.
Reuter's representative had a comersation with Mr. Fischer, who said that Mrs. Botha and himself were going straight to, London, and would then lease for Holland and Belgium, but the date of their departure for the Contin- ent liad not been fixed. With regard to the objects of Mrs. Bola's journey, Ms. Fischer said: "I cannot coolin or deny the statement that Mrs. Dotha has come to Europe in the interests of peace. She has resolutely refused' to give any information, and is now the more determined to maintain silence owing to the fictitious statements telegraphed from South Africa. Besides (be-added), whatever we say the papers will put in something else. You ask me to say whether Mrs. Botha has come peace mission or not. All I would ask in reply is this: Is it likely that Lord Kitchener. would employ a woman?"
00
Mr. Fischer admits, however, that he had been released on parole to come to. rope with Mrs. Botha, and also to visit his father, Mr. Abram Vischer, in Brussels.
The Central News says Mrs. Louis Botha and Master Botha arrived at Southampton early this morning. Repeated attempts were made to interview the wife of the. Boer General, but in each of the pressmen she replied in the same emphatic way." I must positively reftise to say anything. A French journalist who came specially from Paris was equally unsuccessful. One or two gentlemen, whose appearance was distinctly Dutch, met Mrs. Botha. They with held their names, and said they could give no information of Mrs. Botha's intentions. The lady left for London in the Union Castle express.

STRAIGHTFORWARD CRITICISMS BY MR,
ALLAN, M.1.
On the 8th ult. a number of the political and social friends of Mr.. William Allan, M.P. for Gateshead, entertained him al dinner at the National Liberal Club. Sir James Joicey, M.P., presided..
Mr. Allan, M., in response to the toast of his bealth, said that as an engineer of more than half a century's experience he had en deavoured in show that since steam was utilised the navy had been a most deplorable example of what was known as bad engineering. (Hear,) hear). He could not understand why it was that the Admiralty officials or the men who were responsible for the efficiency of our ships hould have pursued the course they had on what was the most vital and important part of any ship-namely, her boilers.
WATER-TORE SYSTEM.
The adoption of the water-tube instead of the cylindrical system was the birgest blunder that could possibly have been made. There were gentlemen present interested in ships who knew that the strength and wealth of the Empire was the mercantile marine.
Our vessels were un every ocean and sea, and if we could nos police the sea efficiently in the shape of man of war ships that were fit to do their duty at all times, what became ef cur mercantile marine and our strength in time of
war?
Water-tube boilers were a primitive method of raising steam. They would not be tolerated in merchant ships, and many of the vessels which had adopted them had come to grief.

wise men of Washington had resolved that incomes were a taxable commodity, and the decision was brought before the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Chose was retained against the Revenue, and his brief was marked with a fee of £10,000. He spoke eloquently and effectively, as a man with such a fee ought to do, and when he had done, the highest legal authority declared that the income-tax was against the spirit of the Con stitution. The men with the incomes were so pleased with their triumph that they clapped Mr. Choate madly on the back and doubled his fee to 20,000,
ACHEEN.
ITS NATURAL RESOURCES.
Acheen is now coming under notice for its wealth in coat and gutts, says a Straits Times correspondent Coal, said to be of excellent quality, is found at Mellabas and elsewhere on the west coast. Nothing yet has been done in the way of working-thie seams. The idea is for the state to work the mines as a means of raising revenue without burdening the people. In the neighbourhood of Melabas, gutta trees also abound, but their numbers are getting fewer from the wasteful methods of gathering employed. The Achinese have not the patience to tap the trees, but simply cut them down as the easiest wayofgetting the gulla. The Government is now taking measures to heck this practice and to plant gutta trees. The gutta collected on the coast all goes to Penang. Arabs and Klings monopolise the trade. The sugar cane is found to thrive on the north east and west coasts of Arkeen. There are several kinds of cane there, but nothing has been done to find out their value, for the production of sugar. Optimists say that Acheen offers a fine field for sugar cultivation because the soil suiis cane admirably:

DISARMAMENT.
A STORY OF THE TSAR'S FAMOUS
CIRCULAR.
ST. PETERSBURG, 29th May. The following account of the origin of the Russian Emperor's famous disarmament circular has lately reached me from an unim
pcachable source..
It shows that the Tsar was actuated..by more practical considerations than has generally been supposed..
The Budget of the Russian War Office is divided into two parts, one to provide for the ordinary expenditure, the other, which is pre- sented once in five years only, for the renewal and increase of war material, in the shape of artillery, &c.
In 1898 Gea. Kuropatkin's demand for the next five years was to millions sterling. The Minister of Finance was horrified.
It was not easy to find 10 millions sterling, but five times that sum lence long debates, during the course of which al. Witt declared and that some means must be found for reduc that such expenditure was positively ruinous, ing it.
Yet in the race for arinament's Russia could not afford to be distanced, and therefore the only recourse was to cry Halt allround.
Unhappily, there are nations which have not yet had enough of this Tuinous method of
insurance, and the Russian Emperor's appeal
fell on deaf ears.—¿torning Leader, Cor.
