THE NEW PRESIDENT.

M. Poincaré, the Premier, has now every chance of becoming. France'e next President of the Republic, owing to M. Léon Bourgeois having definitely refused to be Head of the State, for reasons” al bealth. M. Poincaré, who is now looked upon as the certain successor to M Fallibres, is above all a man of unques- tioned integrity and bonesty of purpose. No French Premier has ever been so popular with all Honest people befora He will make an excellent President of the Republic.

TYPHOID AMONG THE TROOPS." M. Millorand, the Minister of War has-as the result of experiments that have been recently made in the serun treatment of typhoid-arranged for the gratuitous distribution of the serum to the families of all soldiers applying for it. The gendarmerie or country police are also included in the scheme. Hitherto, the injection of scrum has been optional, but many of the troops dispatched to Morocco lately have voluntarily under- gone the treatment, owing to the pre- valence of typhoid and similar diseases in that part of North Africa. Statistics for August, September, and October of last year show that out of approximately 3,000 men situated at various of the most unhealthy posts in Morocco, there were 22 deaths from typhoid, not a single one

The Manchu Quarter in Canton lies to the right or south of the West Gate. Without warning, in less than a minute one finds oneself back in Peking.

There is about them the same suggestion of loneliness and austerity as there is Princess Tomb on a November day.

During the early months of the year (1812) there was talk of a Manchu Society termed the Toung She Tang, which, it was said, had sent emissarica to Canton to fish in troubled waters. In- quiries led to the conclusion that there was something in the

nature of a Manchu plot, and pointed to an alliance the Fu-cheag Tung-meng-hui, formed for between the Manchua and a society called the express purpose of ousting the Military Governor Chan Ching-ming, the Civil Governor Hu Ban-ming, and the Police Commissioner Chen Ching-hus.
