Three hours after France bad made this homiliating back-down the news came that Siam, hopeless of maintaining her tights against such odds. was ready to concede anything and everything that France might demand.

Both he and Government now see their way to arriving at 'understanding on the various frontler questions, and the outcome of the mis jan should be extremely satisfa tory to both parties. An early date has been fixed for its departure as the pretent Viceroy's term of office is drawing to a close, and it is desirable to dispose of questions which are of importance as being on the settlement of the Indo-Afghan frontier. Afghanistan generally is now so q fet and in such good order that Sir Mortimer Durand has elected to take a merely nominal escort, the Amir providing what is really guard-of-honour for the officer representing the British Govern. ment. The mission is a small and compact one, meant for business and not for display, and its despatch is the outcome of Lord Lansdowne's policy for convincing Abdur Rahman that none but most friendly feelings are entertained towards bim by the Government with which he is in alliance,

There is danger in this, for the exasperated Khedira may seek consolation in French sympathy.

It is penerally held here that the tariff 'war started between Russia and Germany is more likely to cause damage to the former than to the Latter. It seems that Russia, in applying the maximum tariff on German products, was mainly influenced by the unfavorable early reports regarding the harvest prospects in Germany.

The analysis of the new Reichstag reveals the fact that only four Hebrews hold seats, all of then being sociallets. Rather more than a quarter of the members are of noble birth. There is a preponderance of land owners and farmers, the number reaching 145. There are no fewer than 110 lawyers in the new House, Among the members of other professional divisione is to be noted a master chimney sweep. In the consensus of opinion of the German press and public convertation in regard to the Franco-Slamate imbroglio, Germany has begun to realize that she would be seriously affected in the event of the blockade of the Slamere cozat as, next to England, she controls the greater part of the trade with Slam.
Communications were exchanged with Great Bibalo, and Germany has decided upon the line of conduct she should pursue should German vessels be interfered with by the French war ships in Slamere waters. General satisfaction was expresied to-day when it was known that France had withdrawn her notification of the blockade.

In the House of Commons, last night, Mr. H. Chaplin raeved an adjournment of the House In order to consider the changes made in the Currency of India.

Mr. Balfour accused Sir W. Harcourt of try- log to throw upon the Government of India the whole blame of a measure which he character Ised as a financial crime.
