Senior-I fear not. They would fight with the ferocity of mad bulldogs for this island home of theirs. You see the trouble is we can't get Englishmen to help as.
Junior-Bat, we might set up an equally good station at the Pescadores, whence we could harass them terribly.
Senior (with a sigh)-Just so, but the brutes might drive us nut of it. They are sure to help those cursed Chinese. I am afraid our Govern ment has strengthened the fleet here too inte. We shall have an awful struggle when the orders come. You will see by and bye.
Junior-Then all the more glory if we gain the victory.
"Observer" adds The Russians may resi assured that, "the-Englishmen will fight with the ferocity of mad bulldogs for this island home of theirs."

Her fleet in these seas as renched well-nigh: menacing proportions, whilst her commerce in the Far East is of microscopical dimensions only. Of merchant steamers she has but two in these lititudes. Sne is pushing forward her Trans-Siberian rail way, a purely military enterprise, and massing troops on the Russo-Manchurian frontier. In short, her wholentiilude bespeaks the perpetration of aggres ion in the Far East for which Musco- vite rulers have become justly notorious.

The probable delegates for Great Britain'to meet at Berlin this week, will be the Earl of Donraven, Mr. Charles M. Kennedy, C.B., of the Foreign Office, and Mr. John Burnett, labour correspondent of the professional depart ment of the Board of Trade.
The Liverpool dockers are willing to submit she matter of their dispute to arbitration.
In the House of Commons this evening. Lord Randolph Churchill denounced the Times Parnell Special Commission as utterly uncons stitutional. By means of a ruthless use of the powers of the closure, the Government, he said, had forced their opponents to submit to an unprecedented, an unparalleled, anda tremen- dous instrument of oppression. He hoped that a future Parliament would expunge from its journals the records of the Commission
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain said the Commission had shown that the Government was right, and that an alliance existed between the Pamellites and the party of physical force and agrarian dis order in Ireland. This was certainly not a venial or a trivial thing. All the late Mr. Forster's charges, made in 1882, were now proved.
Mr. Jennings withdrew the amendment submitted by him, declining to be identified with the hostile attitude assumed towards the Govern- ment by Lord Randolph Churchill, at whose suggestion the amendment was moved,
March 12th.
In the House of Commons last night Mr. W. S. Caint, M.P. for Barrow-in-Furness, moved the amendment which Mr. Jennings had with drawn. It was rejected by 325 to 259.
The motion moved by the Right Hon. W. H. Smith, leader of the House, that the report of the Commission be adopted, and that the thanks of the House be passed to the Judges forming the Commission, was agreed to without division. It is reported that Sir John Gorst la: to be appointed one of the British delegates at the Berlin Conference.
The Porte has granted an smnesty to most of the Cretan refugees.
Sir Thomas Esmonde, one of the Irish delegates who recently visited Australia, is at present in New Orleans. In addressing a delegates had collected a sum of 50,000 in All Comers meeting in that elly he announced that the Australia in furtherance of the Home Kule cause.

THE RESIGNATION OF BISMARCK,
(Written some ten years ago by a Prophet, G. R. Sima to wit.)
The sun rose red o'er all the world ; the noon
had screamed and flown,
The wind was bushed, the ocean still- The awful news was iznown, With troops of special constables. The capitals were lined,
For in the sky these words appeared- "Prince Bismarck has resigned."
Vesuvius erupted fast,
The rivers burst their bounds, There was a fun on all the banks
For several million pounds;
Ten thousand treaties then were drawn. The potentates to biod
And kingdoms rocked themselves to sleep, For Bismarck had resigned.
Then mothers seized their babes and fled To undiscovered spheres ;
up
A yawning earthquake swallowed The British House of Peers: .......... The Fatherland went off is pops, And Earth few off to endless space No pieces could they find, For Bismarck had resigned. That night the true New Zealander, Amived with carpet-bag, And on the ruins of a world, He stuck bis Dative dogs And there aloud be smokes his pipe, And whispers to the wind-
It's very lonely here at nights, Now Bismarck bas resigned" .:'Perchance in other, hippler days. When people could not read, D Less fatal the result had been, Of Bismarck's dreaded deed. Perchance & weaker race of men, Weald mutter, Never mind! The world may just as well go on, Though Bismarck has resigned."
