The Novo Vramya advises a general con- tiental policy, the purpose of which will be to impose every possible impediment to the exten- sion of British dominion in Africa; and to lavor the advance thein of the German schemes of

lonization. It frankly presents the subject from the point of view of its double advantage to Russia: First, as Germany would become a counterpoise to Bitish power in the Eastern world, and, neat, as German migration to Africa would open an easy outlet for the superfluous papalation that now swarms into the western Russian provinces and which is regarded as a very undesirable addition to the population and a detriment and danger to Russia.

M. Gelisij.ff, an Asiatic traveler, writes to the Novo Vremya regarding the increasing ag grasiveness of the Chinese authorities on the northern frontler toward all Ruslan projects and operations on the Amoor river, This subject was discussed in the council held here by the Car on Tuesday.

It is the intention of the Liberals to pit an ex-Minister againat Loid Harington in the Rossendale division of North-cast Lancashire, which the Liberal-Unionist lender carried at the last general election by nearly 1500.

It has been decided by the Conservatives to prepare as solidly as possible for the contest in Midlothian as an offact to the Liberal plan at Rossendale

Farnell's circular, to his followers says that constant and unremitting attention to Failla mentary duties is especially necessary at the coming session, becau e opportunities are cet: tain to arise for rendering effective service to the Irish cause,

Within the past few days the Emperor has received successively all the, leaders of the different groups, and is in conference every day with some prominent member of the Govern ment groups, having a free interchange of views ard communicating his own ideas on the proper management of the elections. Bismarck has maintained a singular reticence as to the policy to be pursued in the elections. His silence embarrasses the Government candidates.

The Posts "While it was not doubted that the Times would lose the case, yet the array of counsel raised the hopes that some extenuating circumstances would be brought out. As this course was not taken we are compelled to admit. that the result is a shock to public confidence.”
