LATER.
Election of the New Pope. Cardinal Guiseppe Sarto has been elected Pope and assumed the name of Pius X.; the election was most impressive and the Pope blessed the people from the balcony of St. Peter's. The new Pope is known for his broad-mindedness and friendliness to the Quirinal. King Emanuel tek graphed his satisfaction at the election and the general opinion is that Pius X. will be more of a spiritual than a political personage.

Dissatisfaction with the War Office.
London, 29th July. Sir Charles Dilke, M.P., is to preside at a meeting on the 30th instant to protest against Mr. Brodrick's proposal to keep a force of 25,000 men in South Africa and charge India with the extra pay of the soldiers.
The Sugar Convention Bill.
London, 35th July. Mr. Chamberlain contended that the Sugar Convention Bill will secure free trade in sugar and protect us against a monopoly. It was a tardy act of justice to the colonies,
He mentioned that he bad infomating show. ing that there was not the slightest probability of the formation of an international sugar com. bination.

Russian Aggression Condoned by Corea.
Tokin, 30th July. The Corean Government contemplates the repurchase of the lands privately acquired by the Russians at Yong-Ampho (at the mouth of the Valu), and thereafter leasing these lands to the Russian holders, thus legalising the tenure that was originally obtained in defiance of the treaties.
:
This display of Corea's tendency to condore the Russian aggressions has been the cause of comment in Japan, where the Russian Settle- ment at Yong-Ampho is regarded as a second Port Arthur in embrye.

THE MACKAY TREATY WATIFIED.
THE INCOME-TAX IN JAPAN.
INCREASED WEALTH OF THE PROPLE.
In giving a risum of the revenue derived by Japan from the Income-tax, the Osuki Asaki slates that of all-the national taxes none has shown a
more remarkable increase than the income-tax in the past ten years. The revenue from this source, which amounted to only about Y1,237,000 in 1893, the year has now before the japan-China war, in reased sixfold, or to about 17,435,00 Owing to the depression of trade, the actual revenue from the Saké-tax for the last fiscal year showed a deficit of some Y12,000,000 on the estimate; Lut last year's revente from the Income-inx was very satisfactory, the amount being some Y1,300,000 bove the estimate. It is explained that the principal
cause of the large increase in the revenue from this squice is the amendment made to the

CURIOUS SIGHT IS

Of the many sights witnessed in the oceans of the globe one of the most curious and most weird is that described by sailors as" the milky sea," ships being surrounded for several hours by water that appears to be a snowy whiteness. Compiled from experiences recorded during the last ten years, an interesting account of the phenomenon is given on the North Atlantic and Mediterranean pilot Chart for March published by the Meteorological Office. The spectacle is restricted to the darkness of night and rare occasions, and while it is limited
RUSSIAN DOMINATION.
One of the worst features of the political situation in the Far East is the extraordinary. subservience of some European Powers to Russia, whenever a fresh opportunity presents itself for plundering China. They have just become partners in an act of barefaced dis-' honesty at the bidding of St. Petersburg, by arbitrarily fixing the rate of exchange for the half-year's indemnity instalment at less than the market rate. The result is that the Peking Treasury is robbed to the extent of £40,000 on the half-year's account, although the British and American representatives on the Bankers' Commission indignantly protested against the perpetration of such a gross fraud. majority, however, gave way to Russian pre-
