Only one other large item of expenditure calls for notice. The service of the national debt alone costs the State about £30,000,000 year. The Russian Government is an adept the art of borrowing, and the total debit, which rose from £500,000,000 in 1889 to £670,000,000 at the beginning of last year, over a third of this being on railway account, has now got well beyond seven hundred millions sterling. Drink and Debt are, in fact, the only con spicuously elastic items in the Budget of the Autocracy.

The task of getting the Heangshan out of her muddy hold was then undertaken. The services of a steam-launch were obtained. Two attempts to tow her off by the stern failed. Tho next effort made was to pull her nose round by a tow-line." This ultimately succeeded, and under her own steam the leungshan regained the channel and then her wharf at about 6.40 p.m. The lanyard of one of her life boats was caught in the mast of one of the junks, and but for this trivial damage the steamer got out of the occurrence unscathed.
