The Japanese Press demonstrates, among other things, the possibility of the triple alliance being broken by us and also that the Russian Press (the St. Petersburg Press) has frequently referred to it rather feelingly. But we suppose that this has resulted from the slight acquaintance of the St. Petersburg Press with the real state of affairs in the Far East and the impossibility to negotiate ques. tions of the Far East in the tranquillity of St. Petersburg Cabinets.
Would that we were proved to be mistaken, but it is impossible for us to keep silence amid
the hubbub and confusion that accompany abuses. We, by virtue of our loyal devotion to the Throne and our own fatherland, without hypocrisy, support our actions, and we say with conviction, that if Rússia and France were to enter into an alliance with Germany in the Far East, this rapprochement would be advan tageous to Germany alone. We, the great adherents of those who endeavour to maintain a peaceful attitude in political conflicts at any cost in whatever light we view it, cannot welcome the new trend in the strengthening of good relations between Russia and Germany. All the more if it appeared as the result of the interview beween the Emperor of Germany and our monarch the Mighty Promoter of the idea of a general disarmament, but the life of the East, reviewed by us here, in all its nakedness, points rather to the possibility of another triple alliance-France, England and Russia. The foundation for this has rested for a long time on the Franco-Russian alliance. The walls of this political edifice bave already been constructed in view of the Anglo-French Agreement Russia is waiting to put the finishing touch to this building. And we might mention, that the probabilities of this are bes xinning to appear for, if we believe the Gaulois, France has already offered, with the co-opera- tion of England to put pressure on Japan with the object of terminating the Russo-Japanese conflict.-P. & T.

THE ACCIDENT TO LORD. KITCHENER.
DETAILS OF HOW IT OCCURRED.
The following telegrams to the Madras Mail, dated the 16th ult, give fuller details of the accident to. Lord Kitchener: Sunla was greatly excited this morning at the news that Lord Kitchener had sustained an accident last night, breaking his leg. It appears that the Commander-in-Chief rode out alone to "Wild
Flower Hall," his residence at Mahasu, about six miles from Simla. Returning in the even- ing he was passing through the small tunnel near Sarjouli Bazaar when his horse became restive and he collided against the side of the tunnel, breaking his leg clean above the ankle, both bones being broken. He lay for some little time in the tunnel, helpless, until some coolies luckily came along with an empty
ricksha in which he was brought back, to Simla.
Here he was at once attended at "Snowden"
by Colonel Tate and Majors Clark and Greene, the Civil Surgeons, who set his leg. He had a good night and is cheerful and doing well, but his tour arrangements are, naturally, all cancel led, and he is unlikely to be able to leave Simla for a month or so His horse is a

The tunnel is by no means a pleasant one to ride through, and there have often been complaints as to its insufficient lighting Farther details of the accident show that the Chief had ridden his horse dozens of times. through the tunnel. On this occasion the horse shied at a coolie crouching against the side. Lord Kitchener caught his leg against a beam, twisting and breaking it.
