General Baden-Powell, who was received by the King in private audience last Tuesday, returns to take up his command to-morrow. Ile is taking with him another thousand re- cruits for the Constabulary. The General bas recently invented a simple method for prevent- ing the stampede of horses left in the rear when the riders desire to advance on foot. The rein is left undone on the off side of the bit, the sear side being fastened. The rein is then attached to the near stirrup, so as to give suffici. pulling power on the horse's mouth to keep it moving in a small circle, if it is inclined to move at all. In this way all possibility of a stampede is avoided, as the harse cannot mova straight in any direction.

in which he indulged for the space of one para- graph. He referred to the "audacity and per sistency" with which facts connected with the South African war had been mis-represented on the Continent, and he expressed certainty that both military men and educated civilians would, in time, do justice to those who had maintained in the field the traditionally high standard of Great Britain to her enemies. Sir Edmund subsequently discussed the expediency of a general treaty of arbitration between Eng- land and France, for which, though he fully ap preciated the advantages, he was inclined to think the time was not yet ripe.. The principle of arbitration in individual cases must be left to the discretion and moderation of the respective governments, because no nation could afford to compromise on questions involving national honour, The whole address was worthy of the The anxiety respecting Lord Rosebery's speaker, who is so soon to retire from diplo forth-coming speech at Chesterfield, hasmatic life and, despite the plain words, has assumed the most remarkable proportions, the more so when the past record of the once Liberal leader is recalled, In the hour of England's greatest need, he effaced himself, instead of coming forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with the men, political opponents though they were,'upon whom lay, the respon a date which ald Court records tell us was sibility of piloting this Empire through the originally appointed for the same ceremony in period of stress and danger.
