The Times adds that Mr. Shiels will be compelled to recruit a working majority from among the groups external to his own following. It suggests the formation of a coalition, which will recognise the great influence of the agricul. tural Interest.

The Standard considers that the elections in Victoria have ended as the best. friends of tho colony desired. It is evident, it says, that the working man is not enamoured of political gitators and demagogues. The ill success of the one man one vole principle will probably cause the question to subside. The Standard declares that Sir Graham Berry is the most foflacatial political figura in Victoria.

It is reported that the new Italian Cabinet formed by the Marquis di Rudin! intends to carry out large economics in the Italian military budget. Among the contemplated changes the Cabineni has decided, it is said, to evacuate the Red Sea littoral, recently occupied by Italian -troops, and only Massowah will be garrisoned.

The man had but a few mitrels in his pocket when arrested, and refused to say what he had done with the rest. M. Carvalho thinks he is a madman, but the police say he does not act like an insane man. They suspect him of being an anarchist bent on raising funds for a demon- stration against the Government on May day, and fear that M. Carvalho's money is in hands that will spend it for explosives,

A special watch is being kept on anarchist suspects, and efforts are being made to induce the prisoner to confess. Thus far he has refused to say anything.

He called medical evidence to support him. He spoke eloquently for two hours. The opposing counsel then addressed the jury, after which Deeming addressed them, and

It is rumoured that there is a popular uprising Kuangtang. The local officials have already asked for troops to be sent by the provincial authorities, but the latter have deemed it wise not to send any, while urging the officials in the affected districts to raise a volunteer corps and at the same time strive to reach a peaceful settlement without res^riing to forcible measures.

While the Nanking Viceroy, Liu Kun-y), was la Soochow the other day, several persons presented petitions to him in the streets, asking for redress for some wrongs which they had suffered, and for which they had failed to secure reparation at the hands of the local authorities. It is said that the adopted grandmother of the young maid who was employed at the house of an official, and whose death came about in a suspicious manner, also presented her complaints to the Viceroy in this way. The petitions were referred to the local officials, who are instructed to thoroughly look into each case.

The Shao's Canton correspondent writes that a short time ago, while a man of war was croising in search of pirates, it came across a smuggler laden with contraband salt.
