countries in which to build fauoiful cities for tho purposes of their imaginative works of fiction, Mr. Aubray falls back upon that mystic bust very real land of Mexico, with its million miles of unexplored territory and its relics of strange pre-historie races, as a background for his novel. The King of the Dead" is the hond of an uncient people, biddon away in the fustresses of that strange country. Possessed of scientific knowledge before which the namo of Macconi ate its innffectual tires, ho evolves schemes for the subjugation of the world by means of hordes of re-animated dead. Closets bound up in the story are the adventures of two young Englishmen and two fair ladies. From the first chapter to the final tragedy there is not a dull page in the book, and the descriptica parts are highly interesting.

THE SERVIAN ATROCITY.

ALLEGED AUTHENTIC DETAILS.

A Jong despatch dated Somlin, Hungary, 17h June, saya:--

Since the first excitement caused by the news of the assassinations, Belgrade has been re- markably quiet. The shops are open, the people sit in the cafés and everything is as usual, ox- pt that the public buildings and private houses are decorated with Servian flags.. The latter fact, however, is no indication of the res: public sentiment, since, in this part of the world, such demonstrations usually result from official in- structions, which privato citizens find it unwire to disregard. The military still occupy the Government offiens, and a zauber of soldi rs are stationed round the Palace. The ga..on is also being cumlautly increased, with a view la Mooday's meeting of the Skipshtina, the pro- codings at which, it is alleged, are already arranged, and will enasist merely of registering

THE TARIFF QUESTION—HE MOUABLE DEBATE.

Jandon, 10th June. The House of Commons to-night rejected Mr. Chaplin's amendu-nt to the Budget Bill, by 424 to 28 cales. That the interest in the political tuation has been enhanced by the dramatic developments yesterday, fly evidenced to-day by the remarkable animation

The debaty was resumed by Major Seely (Conservative) who, as a convinced Free Trador, rejoiced in the repeat of the grain tax.

Sir Charles Dilke (Radical) contended that *the House but a right to demand an opportavity for pronoanting 'judgment on this important fiscal question. The greaker denied that Protod- fionist countries, werd cutting out Great Britain from the markets of the world. Germany had not ev ea hurt Great Britain's market in South Amerion, and when one considered the great natural advantages of the United States, ker giza and highly enltivated population, it was marvellous that she had not years ago atlabed the Brst place in tride. The ecmerce of the United States had, he said, progressed independ. ently of protection, but it had been retarded rather than advuured by the adoption of protection.

By a desterons and extraordinary speech Mr. Balfour to-night temporarily smoothed over the difficulty in the Cabinet, rodiased Mr. Chamber- lain of any necessity for resigning, and, for tho mement, averted a crisis. Mr. Belfour accom- plished this without committing the Governmout either to Protection or to Free Trade, though the effect of his speech will generally be taken to mean that the tariff issue is to bu stolved for the present.

Mr. Chaplin's amendment, which gave rise to the most interesting debate in the prescut Parliament, was thus, thanks to the Premier's declaration, defeated by a majority of 3

votes, puraposed of Unionists, Libbie and Irish members. The minority wh suy ported Mr. Chaplin's emerfimert, were almost 11 followers of the Government, while many of the Conmrvativa parly ábstáined from vòling.
