It is stated from Chinese sources in the North that the Paoting vallway, which was ballt by the French, is only used for conveying material to the Legations and pastangora and troops, but that the Chinese seldom travel by that railway. The two plenipotentiaries have accordingly, it is said, arranged with the French representative to destroy the railway after the Court's return. This story, if true, disposes at the report that the French intend to keep their garrison, consisting of sema 1,300 troops, at Protingfo as a railway guard in the same way that the Manchurian railway is guarded by the Russians, and the Peking and Shanhaikwan railway by the British.

The Shanghai Sintrenpao is responsible for the statement that the advisers of this Empress Dowager have decided to change the date of the Court's departure from Usion for Peking to the 14th of October next (3rd day of the 3th icon), the delay being caused, it is stated, by the nairepared state of the roads in Honan and Chilli osor which the Court will have to pass on the returu jarney. The report is also given by the same paper that the notorious Manchu Boxer leader, Kuei Chun, whom the Foreigu Powers wish to get hold of and who returned to Hain the other day after having travelled already half way to Peking, is doing his best to vilify the Allies and to porenade the Empress Dowager not to rotgen to Poicing at all, in spite of all that the Fereign Powers may promise or do to get the Court to return to Peking.

The Naval and Military Record, speaking of the diflculty of mobilising the 12,300 officers and men necessary for the ships and 56 torpedo craft at the racant naval manœuvres, says: At few previous mobilisations have wo raised such a modest total as 12,200 men, and never has that number been raised with so much diffenlty. And were we at real war instead of playing a gume, how could we supply casualties except from the Beserve, which everyone agress is the most doubtful quantity in the service? We commend this appalling condition of things to the serious considoration of the Navy League. The charter of that organisation is the popularising of the Nury. The Admiralty must, of course, play their part of the game, and they must make the service more attractive. In the meantime we can dispense with the League's strategic disposition of fleets, while the nation would be grateful for a few more thousand ratings.

THE etatement made in the House of Com- mens last week. by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, with regard to the policy which might have to be adopted in South Africa, was a most important declaration, and will by now have been criticised by the public and Press of the world. Among Anglophobiets it will have raised, no doubt, another storm of denunciation. Boer sy pathisers earywhere will have a fresh ground for indignation, and there is no reason to expect that their language will be any less violent or undiscriminating than in the past. But the question is not one to be discussed with heat. On all sides it is agreed that the prolongation of the war is a terrible evil. Some of the friends of the Boers, however, hold that continued resis. tance on the part of the Boers is justifiable, on the ground that success will ultimately be theirs. How they can maintain this honestly, we fail to see. It requires a faith like that professed by Mr. KRUGER to Apart from plague cases last week, the only enable anyone to disregard facts in such a instances of communicable disease reported in
