PETROGRAD, Novembar 4th. The Busso-Japanese Society gave a ban- quet in honour of the Japanese ex- Ambassador Motono who, in a speech, rejoiced at the consolidation of Russo- Japanese friendship. He was convinced, he said, of the inviolability of the Anglo Japanese Alliance and said that the Russo-Japances and the Angle-Japanese Agreements naturally supplemented and strengthened each other.

THE INDIA OFFICE AND ITS GERMAN PROFESSOR.

Mfr. Dalziel called attention to the case of Professor Ethe (a German employed by the India Office ance 1872 in compiling a catalogue of Persian MSS, for the Library of the India Office) and strongly denounced the retention of a potential spy in the service of the Indis Office.

Mr. Charles Roberts again explained the circumstances. Professor Ette, he

said, was a septuagenarian. The India Office would be sorry to lose the patient labours of such a scholar who had all the threads of the work on which he was engaged in his hands. The India Office Library was not a part of the India Office, but Professor Ethe did not even come to the Library; the manuscripts were sent to him,

After further discussion the matter dropped.
