THE ROYAL YACHT.

London, 10th April.· Although the rumour that "the Prince of Walea hon sold his racing catter Britannia is astounded, it is norarthelem bollared to be a fret that the Prince is willing to sell the yacht, A rumour in yachting sirolas connecte his desire to do so with his objection to competing for the Jubiles up offered by the Emperor of Germany, which the Prince would be abrost compelled to do if he possessed a yacht whom the Emperor's top is Bailed for. This would involve the Prince of Wales going burdens. Sir Heury Fowler concurred in this to Berlin and joining in the festivities there, view and, the motion was rejcetod by 174 votes which the present relations of Great Britain | against 74 nad Gormany arising from Transvaal affairs render impolite. George L. Watson, the yacht designer, has advised the Prince to increase the Britanica's lead and sail area, being of the opinion that she has not enough ears to beat the new Imparial yacht Meteor. The Trince of Wales has decided to build a now yacht, but she will not be unished until niter the Jubilee moes, It is stated that Sir James Bell, who raced the outter Thistle against the American sloop Volunteer in 1887 for the America's Cup, is negotiating for the purchase of the Damaren syndicate yacht Valkyria II, which was besten by the Amar. jean sloop Defendier during the orp was of 1895, with the view of racing her the coming

NEW EUROPEAN ALLIANCE,

Borita, 10th April. It is understood that another great shifting on the political obersbeard of. Europe is m minent. A seir arrangement for preserving "the peasa halánse of Europe has been deemed necessary. Since Inst September privato litera on the subject have been rapentelly exchanged betweaz Berlin, St. Potersburg, and Vienna, and in German diplomaatio and political zirales it is consideral foregone conclusion that an understanding has been reached. Italy will little longer bold to the Dreiband, even nomin ally, and the force of events is gradually driving Ber into the arms of Great Britain and Franco, und it is believed that with the probably speady victory of the Radical party in Italy the change will be accomplished. On the other hand the Czar and his advisers are said to be decided that Frauca is too fiokis for a reliable ally, nad it is said that an cntents which perhaps wilt be followed later by a formal alliance is to be resobed in the spring and kam mer between Germany, Russia, and Austria. The proposed agreemont is directed mainly against the dubious shifting policy of Grost Britain on the Extern question and the main- tenance of the European status quo.

They are the guarantee to him and our colonies, to the loyal mon who support British role, that this country is determined to maintain it supremacy in those quarters, and it will back its High Commissioner with the power of the British Enipito"

THE SIKKIM-TIBET BOUNDARY,

Allabadad, 23rd April: It is extremely unlikely the Bikki Tibet boundary question will be repened this summer as the Chinese authorities show no desire what ever to proceed with the work of demarcation.
