With regard to Port Arthur, the Daily Graphic assecta that there is every riston to belleve that the Russians will adhere to their pledge to evacumbe It at the end of the winter, and there is therefors no ground for complaint on the part of England.

The Bishop, who has been 34 years in Chian, and who is about to return, said: "There is no doubt that Germany means to keep Klaechan and is conilguro tentories, and if the right measures are taken it will prove

His Excellency, in acknowledging the presentation, dilsted on the keen interest Mr. Belillos had always taken to Golf, and felt sare it would mean a K.C.M.G. zoon. He continued:
Golt is a game frequently conducive to intia tion, expecially for beginners; it looks so easy to bit silly liule ball, till you try and then you find you can hit everything on earth except the ball, Ohen, I regret to say, it causes volgar and scurrilous mat to may disgusting language.

Georgs wis dubious, but said he would try it. Next time he was oot geifing ade was not with blos, but anxiously awaited his return. When he came home, the first thing he did was to dive his hand into hisleft pocket and haul out bali a bushel of pebbler, which he slammed on the dining table, saying "These are the damse," my dear," and thes a half-bashel from the right hand pocket, "these are the biasis," and the bay will be here soon with the Rats in ricksha."
