A STRANGE SITUATION,"
BRITISH POLICY IN TIBET,
Colonel Sir Francia Younghusband, who was in charge of thy Lhasa Mission of 1904, gara a lectare to the Central 'As'an Society on the sad alt. at its first meeting for the session,
"Our Position in Tibet." Sir Allied Lyall fretided, and there was a large 'attendance,'!"
The Lecturer sald that while he had very de- flaite opinion as to what our position in Tibet ought to be, he had to confess himself ignorant of what it actually was at the present moment, for only the scrappiest pieces of loformation had litely reached this ecuatty. The order for a considerable body of our troops to more to Gyantre Fad been coup'ermanded, as we might prasuma that cur Agent there was no longer in dinger; but whether the
Chinese had placed in his way had been so mor, we did not know; and we know nothing of the result of British representations to Fek the river and requesting the Magistrate to oting insisting upon the misfotenance of an effec opce deal severely with the offenders.
