They had a few word out- side. I could not bear the exact words, but heard then tuking outside. Mr. Barrier was struck by Tourney. I then went into the row and stopped the fighting outside the saloon, and we went back to the saloon all except Mr. Barrier, Tourney came with us. There we had a few words-Tourney and 1..He then left. Mr. Barrier then came back and we went on with our dinner till the door opened and afr. -Tourney fired at me. I left the room and know

on the Yangtste River, these would open up the heart of Thibet to India and Burmah. The commercial possibilities of Thibet are immense Its gold mines are at present practically un- worked from superstitionary reasons, and are probably among the richest in the world, and should alone make it important." He speaks of many parts being equal to Switzerland and Cashmere forcery, and the climate eminent y filled for European colonisation. As to its invasion, he remarks that Thibet is practically defenceless at present against any little well armed force which chooses to push on to Lhasa, and it is to be hoped-Russia and Nepal will pot seize the opportunity of doing so be fore England realizes the position. The Thibe. tans, although formerly warlike and aggressive people, have had all their spirit sapped out of them by many centuries of priestly oppres sign. They have lost their fighting instincts and courage, and they have no regular anm nor any modern weapons of warinre. I am of opinion, from the intimate study of the Thibe- tans and their country, that little more than a couple of regiments (one European and one Gurkha) and a mountain battery, would be sufficient to penetrate to Lhass, and only very few troops would be needed to hold the country The Englishman endorses Major Waddell's

THE OPENING UP OF THIBET.
BRITISHI ANNEXATION SUGGESTED, Major L. A. Waddell, 1,M.S., writes a letter to the Englishman on the opening up of Thibet. He says " Having had special opportunities of studying at first hand the geographical and political position of Tiibet from the Indian, Burmese, and Chinese sides, I have read with much interest the letter by Mr. A Little to the Spectator of the 17th September last, entitled "The Value of Thibet to England," for I have for some time held the view with respect to British annexation which he therein advocates, but I hold it on very much wider and more imperative grounds," Major Waddell then gives proof of the priority of his views on the question, and makes publie a memorandum which he wrote Tome time ago. After pointing out the possibilities of the Russian wedge he ing interposed between our Indian and
· Bunnese and Chinese possessions by diepos. sessing China of her shadowy suzerainty over. Thibet, he draws attention to the advantages. of: British aunexation. He observes -- Our Indian Empire directly borders on Central Thibet by our frontiers of Bengal, Assam, and Upper Burmah, Lhasa even now is within only about a ton flays' rida from our Darjeeling- frontier, and by light profitable railway up. the Torsha Choombi Valley, which I have advocated for many years, could be brought within three to four days from Calcutta This with the addition of a railway from som up the Tsang-Fo or Debing, the natural waterway from the Indian plains to Central Thibet, and the already conceded extensions of the Bur meta Railway from Kunlong Ferry on the borders of Yunnan through China to Suchan

The statements made by the Japanese papers that Korea had asked the assistance of Japan to quell the late disturbance must be taken with a big grain of salt. Besides, by the treaty with Russia, Japan is precluded from actively interfering in Korea's domestic affairs. The other statement that the Foreign Representa- tives had an audience with the Emperor is true enough, but it is not equally true that they had tendered any advice. On the contrary they had studiously refrained from doing so.
