declares that he had many opportunities for estimating "the excellent condition and warlike tope of the British Indian troops." To General Gaselee personally he gives hearty thanks for his loyal and knightly support. We may well wish-that the Marshal's statements since his return home coincided more closely with his leller penned before his departure; and likewise that the recent Blue Book in the affairs of the Northern Chinese Railway had shown his acts were more impartial as regards Great Britain's legitimate position in that matter.

THE LORD GREAT CHAMBERLAIN.
It is announced in the London Ganette that the King has been pleased, by Letters Patent under the Great Seal, to appoint George Henry Hugh, Marucis, of Cholmondeley, to the office of Lord Great Chamberlain of England, to hold the said office until such time as His Majesty pleasure shall be further signified. Such appointment shall in no way prejudice the claims to the said office which have been referred by the King to the Lords Spiritual, and Temporal in Parliament assembled to report thereon, and shall not confer upon the said Marquis of Cholmondeley any right or title in or to the said office other than he may have had if such appointment had not been made by His Majesty.
A RAILWAY DISASTER.
A terrible railway accident has occurred in Montana, in the United States,
A freight train was climbing a steep gradient when the couplings about the middle broke. The released half of the train ran back for 16
miles, gathering a fearful impetus as it went. At the station at the town of Nyack, a pas- senger train was standing, and into this the runaway trucks crashed,, were. fearful results. the debris which the collision had created was No fewer than 36 passengers were killed, and
fired by the lacomotive.
When the fire was extinguished and a search made amid the jufas, it was discovered that 26 badies had beedgemated in the flames.
OLEVER SWINDLE,
A NEW VALUE FOR PRESS CUTTINGS.
The South German detective police are
inclined to do over Nicholas II. There is a suspicion among us that France has lost some of her self-confidence that she feels relieved of a secret fear; that she is not only pleased with the Russian Emperor às à guest whose visit is, from his position, a compliment, but is in her inner mine grateful for his implied promise of protection. The suspicion has some founda- tion, but not so much as it is the momentary fashion to imagine. Frenchmen are brave, as | their whole history proves, but then that history shows also that they are men with pessimistic imaginations. They have not the English and American individualism. They too can hunt tigers, but not alone. Their whole nature. abhors loneliness, and, in spite of their courage, seeks with a kind of feminine instinct for pre- tection. No people accepted feudalism so readily, because in none was there, such instinctive longing for comrades and a chief. When feudalism became insup. portable they placed themselves in the hands of a King, and for the sake of protec- tion from the caste endured for nearly five hundred years the long misery flecked with gleams of glory and prosperity which marked the reigns of the Valois and, the Bourbon. It was the protection he gave as well as the glory which made them the willing subjects of Napoleon, and which induces them even now to bear the otherwise intolerable burden of their administrativa machine. They will always have an official at hand who when the einergency occurs will lighten for them the burden of self-defence. They love a strong police, and while working and inventing and fighting, still seck always for help external to themselves. Their instinct, even in social life, 15 towards, not against, the patronus, and the Frenchman feels prouder as well as safer who can boast of a powerful friend. Just now they had begun to feel somewhat lonely in Europe. They suspect Mr. Chamberlain, who for them embodies Great Britain, of designs against France; they utterly, in spite of recent compli- ments, distrust, the Tierman Emperor; they know that Austria will risk nothing to assist them; and they have doubted whether Russia was not drawing away from the Alliance, and leaving them "isolated" and dependent on their own strength. At such a moment to be assured in a way they can all understand that they arc not alone, that they can rely on the "Great Sovereign of the East," that they will be protected,, not because they

They will each carry a crew of seven men and five torpedoes, and will be able. to discharge them in every conceivable con- dition or position. The main engine will be of the gasoline type, for surface propulsion at a maximum speed of nine knots; the main motor will be of electric water-proof type, giv-' ing a speed of seven knots per hour, and a submerged run of two knots at seven knots per hour. At the end of this submerged run a service torpedo will be discharged and strike
