We have been waiting so long for Russia to clear out of Manchuria, or for the Allied Powers to show some front, that i hardly like to venture on any forecasts, but there seems to be some slight indication of coming change.

some importance is not unnaturally attached to the circumstance, though as a matter of fact it is quite possibly nothing more than a precaution- ary move. It may, on the other hand, signify much. It is noticeable that the Japanese coalies going about the street are adopting an obtrusive swagger, and any Japanese face lights up at the bare suggestion of impending hostilities, They all hope so" with vigour. The Russians on the other hand look rather more serious. M.

THE EASTERN MAILS.
The L. & C. Express of the 12th ult. prints the following editorial :---
The continued discussion of the Post Office vac for expenses of the Mail Packet services took place on 8th inst., when Mr. Caldwell dealt with the subject of the two British mail services to the Far East; that by the Peninsular and Oriental Campany via Suez, and that by the C. P. R. via Canada. Briefly stated, Mr. Caldwell apparently thought that the P. and O. service for China should be superseded by the Siberian roule, and that, as the Canadian Pacific had not fulfilled the promises made at

UNITED STATES CURRENCY COMMISSION.
In connection with the visit to Europe of the United States Commission on the subject of silver currencies, a summary has been publish- ed of the explanations and opinions in the American Press on the proposals of the Mexican and Chinese Governments as submitted to Con- gress early in the year. The proposals are that Mex co and other countries so disposed shall issue a new silver tumenty at the ratio of about 32 to 1 This currency shall be kept at fixed value in gold by Government control of the quantity through closing the mints to free coin- age; by its acceptance at gold parity for public dues, and by the maintenance of a gold ex- change fund in leading financial centres. The proposal to coin the new pieces at 32 to instead of 16 to is not an effort to maintain silver bullion at a fixed parity with open mints. It is a rate of coinage selected to bring the bullion value of the coins into some approxim ate relation to their exchange value. Under the system proposed, the value of the coins will not depend upon the price of silver bullion, but will be kept steady by the fact that the supply of coins is starved down to the need for them in the channels of trade.-L. & C. Express.
THE SERVIAN TRAGEDY.
This mail brings a full account of the murders at Belgrade. One of these gives the following details:
It was nearly 1:30 am. when the 32 officers, under the leadership of Colonel Alexander Maschin and Lieut.-Colonel Micsics, forced their way into the palace. Behind them fol lowed a strong military force of detachments of the 6th and 7th regiments, which surround ed the catire palace. As none of the doors could he broken open, a number of thern and among them those leading into the secret apartments of the King and Queen, were blown up by dynamite, in which process an adjutant of bis Majesty, Colonel Michael Naumovics, was killed. The conspirators at once rushed in. In the first apartment they were met by Colonel Jovan Milkovics, who was an officer of artillery and son-in-law of General Zinzar Marcovics. He was an officer of the watch. The attacking party at
once shot him down. The same fate befell Adjutant Central Lazar Petrovi s, who was in the next room. Before he fell, however, he rushed for ward and fired his revolver on them several times, but without hitting anybody. The way to the real apartments, was now clear. The conspirators could hear that the King and Queen were alarmed. His Majesty rushed to the window, and in van called appealingly for help. There was no answer; no one came, and no one attempted to come. He saw the end was approaching: he kissed the Queen and embraced her for the last time, and courage. ously awaited the conspirators, who were now breaking down the door of his apartment. All was soon over, The door was speedily smashed in, and, revolver in hand, the men alt rushed upon the oyai pair, firing as they did so with their revolvers. There was a bail of bullets; both King and Queen fell together, locked as they fell in one last embrace. They were -iddled with bullets, and Meanwhile they inust have died at ence, detachments under the leadership of various officers had forced an entrance into the dwell. ings of the Ministers General Zinzar Markovics and General Milovan Pavlovics, as well as into that of M. Belimer Teodoravics. The two first were promptly shot dead on the spot. 'Teodorovics was gravely wounded.
The National Zeitung (Berlin) published the following interview which its Belgrade repre- sentative had with Colonel Mishitch, who led- the military party that burst into the Palace. He said :-

He did not include the Straits Settle ments in his survey, and apparently that colony might be left in a condition to get its mails by any way it could. Or possibly it came within his suggestion that in times of peace the cruisers of His Majesty's Navy should be utilised for the conveyance of mails. It will, doubtless, be readily seen that such a proposal is not of a very practical order.

From Canada comes the repudiation that the Dominion was pledging itself to do certain things in consideration of the continuance of the Pacific steamship subsidy, which Mr. Austen Chamberlain complained had not been done. It will be seen that the Postmaster-General, in his reply to Mr. Caldwell, said that His Majesty's Government, in their anxiety to meet the wishes of Canada and give Canada every opportunity for facilitating the ablishment of a fast Atlantic service
