18th October:
A remarkable Francophil demonstration has taken place in Rome. Fifty thousand demonstrators with flags and bands paraded the streets amid the enthusiastic cheering of
immense crowds.
The King and Queen of Italy left Paris yesterday.
The British Legation at Pekin.
Reuter's Agency at Pekin wires that there has been no altempt to blow up the British Legation, but a robbery of ordnance stores was effected presumably by Chinese servants who left an electric apparatus outside the Magazine.
Russia and the Far East. A special commission under the presidency of the Tear has been formed at St. Peters burg to consider affairs in the Far East and to discuss financial proposals and measures for the development of trade and industry.
The Balkan Trouble.. The Bulgarian Govemment has decided to discharge 5,000 Reservists, and more later, if Turkey will do likewise.

Other evidence having been given and the witnesses cross-examined by Mr. Slade, the jury found prisoner not guilty and he was discharged.
The master of the shop was then charged with offering a bribe and procuring last defendant to proffer a bribe.
He was found guilty, and in passing sentence His Lordship raid, I understand your firm is a respectably conducted one and I don't think that in this case it is shown that you wished to
bribe the Sanitary Inspector to do anything- really had. It is clear, however, that you wished to. "influence his conduct as a public servant to cause him to treat your shop and the lane you used with special favour.. There could be no doubt in making presents of gands and money to the Sanitary Inspector lepke him simply do his duty and act towards your shop with no more consideration than towards others in his district. But if bribes are taken the recipients richly deserve punishment, and therefore it is right that those who offer them and sotempt others to crime should be punished also. In this case bearing in mind all the cir- cumstances I will tot send you to prison, but you must pay a fine of $500 in failure of which you must be imprisoned. I understand that you are prepared to pay that fine. The jury did quite right in convicting you, but I do not regard it as a really bad case and I trust the punishment inflicted will act as a warning to others. if not, I shall have to inflict severer punishment in future.

have it out in the good old fashioned way.
News here is that Japan is mobilizing, but this may be merely the preparations for the im- pending manoeuvres, or it may be indeed the preliminary of more serious work. The Japa nese here are inclined to think japan is pres pared to proceed to extremes at any moment if Russia only gives her a fair chance! Very serious confabulations among the Ministers have been proceeding of late, and it is pre- somed Russia's attitude has been the subject of discussion. Before this reaches you, how, ever, the outlook will probably have assumed more definite form.
I forget whether I mentioned in my last that Russia will probably get a hold on the new Board of Commerce by lending it the money wherewith to meet expenses, and as said Board combines in one most of the other Boards, why, the Russo-Chinese Bank becomes the wire puller of a big thing. Wu Ting-fang has gone up to Peking to bring his light and learn- ing to bear upon the work and organization of the Board. It is, however, a litle uncertain what his power will really be. The latest development of the Board's undertakings is a commercial weekly newspaper to be published once a week and devoted to commercial matters not politics.
The railway from Chenglo-fe to Tai Yuen-fu which is a nominal extension of the Fu Han ice, but in reality a purely Russian under taking, will be over 5oo li in length, some 400 being over fairly level country, but the last 100 li or so is right through mountainous districts and it is thought some tunnelling will have to be done. It in aid that work will be begun in the 10th moon. I believe it is on the strength of this line that the British syndicate has lines in Honan.
We understand that a junk which arrived here yesterday morning with a cargo of silks valued at $15, 00 to be shipped to the United States was pirated near Canton, apposite Whampoa.

THE NAVAL CONFERENCE
AT SINGAPORE
In the course of an article on the political situation, the Singapore Free Press remarks :— The somewhat mysterious movements con nected with the assembling of the three Ad. mirals have had their share in stimulating sur mise. But it is very probable that the bolding of the Admirals' Conference here outside har bour limits in the eastward is intended to avoid the very considerable amount of ceremonial that would have been entitled bad the Admirals met in the roadstead of Singapore. The place of consultation, on board H.BIS. Glory, is in the Eastern Channel polside Kuala Johore and south of Pengerang Hill, but-of course well inside of the Horsburg light. Generally speaking, the questions to be con-id-red will include, that of naval concentration of the squadrons of the 'three stations as may be hereaster required in varying political or strat egical contingencies, and the nature and distri bution of effective cooperation entailed in the varying conditions, supplied by alter native plans of naval campaign. Security of bases, security of Eastern trade routes in war time, and the selection of suitable points for coaling at sea or in distant anchorages will, we take it; be am¬ngst the points to be talked
over.

The road followed was the trade route to Tengyuen. Froposals had been made to connect the two places by rail, a distance of 130 miles; and though from the nature of the country it would not be feasible to carry the line further, it would, if made properly, pay its way, and in crease our trade and influence in the province of Yunnan.

Mani- fold found that the Chinese in this district were well posted in South African affairs, and in his opinion the reported successes of the undrilled Boer forces had a tremendous effect in causing the Chinese to believe in the possibilities of the Boxer movement, for they began to think it was only necessary to place modern rifles in the hands of the Boxer patriots to attain similar results. Yunnan is rich in minerals, to work which only primitive means are used, and the energy of the population is sapped by the abuse of opium. The opium ravages in men, women, and children were deplorable. Two months were spent in the upper Yangise province of Su-chuen, where the party learnt that Captain Watts Jones, R.E., an intrepid explorer, had been treacherously seized and beheaded party followed-
