THE WAR.
THE CZAR AND THE FAR EAST,
A JOURNEY NOT IMPROBABLE. A despatch from St. Petersburg to the Sche de Paris states that the Railway Commission in session at SL Petersburg has approved of a new armored train for the use of the Czar, The correspondent says that in spite of the cbvious difficulties in the way of guarding the sailway line it is nevertheless quite possible that the Emperor may decide to journey to the seat of war,
THE LATE ADMIRAL MAKAKOFF. How highly Admiral Makaroff was esteemed by his fellow countrymen, nad especially by fellow-sailors, is shown by the fact that, even in the midst of the distractions of war, a foot movement has already been set on to erect a inonument to his memory, and in the course of a few weeks several hundred roubles were collected, despite the numerous calls both on attention and on pocket which the war has involved.

The sailors are already collecting money for this, and it is probable that the suggestion which has proved especially popular with the men of the Port Arthur squadron, will take bodily shape in the near future.
THE TUNNELLING AT Port Arthur. Chinese arrivals at Chefoo from Port Arthur on the night of 27th ult, and the morning of 28th state that in the prolonged attack on the city which began on the 20th sit, the Russian forces again exploded mines upon which the investing forces were unfortunate enough to encroach, and that the resulting slaughter was terrific..
These mines are said to have been recently placed, and the positions upon which they we.e located, immediately outside of the forti- fications where the attack was most vigorous, were reached by tunneling from the forts. It was in fact a repetition of the Sevastopol tragedy, on a smaller scale.
The Japanese are also said to have resorted to tunneling, but with what success is unknown. -Chefoo Daily News,

The an Agincourt, as thó ties in No. 2 berth at the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Co's dock at Kowloon, presents all the ap pearance of a mighty warehouse, constructed of rusty iron. From stem to stern,
and from truck to keel, there is not the eighth of an inch of paint anywhere visible, the action of the seas, as they broke over her daring her two months' stay on her sandy bed, having tid her of every vestige of other colour than that itself deposits.
Everywhere is rust. Inside, the vessel resembles a huge godown gutted by a sudden sharp con- flagration and while about the decks, saloon and holds, there is not much evidence of serious damage. But it is below and out of sight of the eyes of the casual visitor that the evidences of her treatment by wind, weather and sea are parti- cularly pronounced. Long lengths of dented plates, with here and there a strained seari show all she had to bear, and though the vessel is still under survey and the full extent of her damage unknown, there is but little doubt that the estimated amount of it will be about as report. morrow the Agincours will leave her baitis in the ad in these columns on Wednesday.

FATAL LANDSLIP.
NEAR BONHAM ROAD.
At about 4 p.m. yesterday, while a numbes of Chinese coolies, who are engaged in clearing the land on the hillside above the filter-bed off Bonham Road, were taking their afternoon meal, several tons of earth suddenly slid down and nearly buried two of them. They were quickly extricated by their comrades and as they appeared to be injured, a report of the occurrence was made to the police. Iuspector Dimond ordered their removal to the Govern ment Civil Hospital where they were detained for treatment. One of the men, who was found to be somewhat seriously injured internally,
has since died.
THE ATTEMPTS TO SIVIM THE CHANNEL.
BURGESS'S SECOND FAILURE.
Both Weidman and Burgess failed in the attempt to swim across the English Channel upon which they started, under favourable
conditions, but the latter was so little exhaust-

Clearing away the mine-clearers.
Tokio, 3rd October.
It is stated on reliable authority that the mine clearers at Port Arthur have been almost all blown up since July.
The probability is that there shells will come in handy, says the Dally News of 29th ult, as many of the guns for which they were intended are at this day in position on Port Arthur's fortifications, or are within call.

A Canton letter states that owing to the inefficiency of the Chinese inland naval forces pirates in the West river and other inland watercourses are getting more daring and audacious than ever.

The latter made the captain of the steamer takeTaturong), the 8th instant, will be for them to a place called Teaghsien and while on their way to that place fell in with another steamer, the Kwaungan, which they also pluu- dered.

By the end of the sixth hour, when Cape Grisnez bore South-by-West, at half past three, Burgess inquired what distance he had swam, and how far it was to the French coast. On learning that Grisuer was nine and a-half miles off, he laconically said, "Then think I shall get there a statement that was received with hearty cheers by the tug party.
