In relerence to the

IMPERIAL VISIT

I now hear that the Emperor will in all pro- bability make a grand tour of the foreign Settle. ments, and the Leotal has issued a statement, I believe, to this effect, and that the Chinese both within and without the Settlement may keep their thons open, but must decorate them, wear their best clothes, and when the Emperor passes mast prostrate themselves hefore a shrine which each hauschalter must set up for the purpose. All Chinese, incluing the native police, muit knee in the stresin; but the Sikhs and other foreigners can ila no they please. I am glad of this, a exprat la personally be so overcome with emotion—or eftlarla—as to prefer a recom bent positio.

The Russian Admiralty has ordered the head- quarters of the Black Sea fl-et to be removed this autumn from Sebastopol back to Nicolaleff, where it was established after the alege and exptare of Sebastopol by the allies during the Cilmean war. As is is only a few years "sloco the paval head-quarters were restored to Sebastopol, enfsiged and strengthened at Im- mense outlay, it is only natural that the change back again to Nicolaleff should be regarded with surprise and even consternation in naval chicles at the great arsenal and port which gave the French "and English, Turks and Sardinians so much trouble nearly fifty years ago. The decision has been silved at in view of'ike ponibility of war with Great Britała wilsing out of untoward con complicatiods in the Far Exit.

This possibility, which is con- sidered by no means extravagant by Rutslau piliicians, seems to indicate a considerable change in the political relations between Russia and Turkey in the last year or twa. At the time of the Armenian agitation, when the English Press was urging Lord Sallsbury to send the fleet to force the Dardanelles and bring the Salina to reason, Ranian Generals superlofended the labours of Turkish troops employed in erecting additional

Prince Lobaupf bad informed the British Ambassador of St. Petersborg that ble master had resolved not to use force agalast the Sultan, and that he would not approve of any other Power doing so. That declaration conveyed in the language of diplomacy a courteous intimation that such intervention would be realsted by force. Russle stood faith as the protectices of the Ottoman Empire, and the Soltan by many tokens of gratitude seemed to accept the cɔrre- lattre poiliion. All-idex'al forcing the passage of the Dardanelles was iadd aside, the Armenlan agliation subalded. and Turkey *ppaendly became the good friend of Rasf.
