Weeks Island.

A telegrain received from Tokyo grates that there is no truth in a report which has been cir culated that the Japanese flag has been hoisted on Marcus or Weeks Ísland, -- The' island in question is a low-lying reef to the north-east of the Marianne or Ladrone-Islands recently ac quired by Germany from Spain.

San Domingo.

The movement in the United States in favour of the annexation of San Domingo is growing. The sooner the annexation takes place the better. The two disorderly publics of Hayti and San Domingo are a disgrace to civilisation. They are steadily relapsing into barbarism and anarchy. Twenty-five years ago General Grant wished to acquire San Domingo, but was over- ruled. The experience of a generation has shown that his proposal was eminently wise

and statesmanlike.

Lobengula's Love Affair. Despite the uberate and repeated denials

of the management of Savage South Africa that anything of the kind was intended, Loben gula and his fiancée, Miss Florence K. Jewell, made an attempt to get married recently, at St. Matthing's Church, Warwick-road, Earl's court. In the absence, however, of his vicar the Rev. G. F. Lane declined to proceed with the wedding. The parties then, repaired to the prolonged conference, Dr. Tristram gave the Rev. Mr. Lane the necessary sanction to marry the curiously-assorted pair.

The Indian Frontier. The Indian Viceroy's proposals for the pro- tection of the Indian froutier have received the sanction of the Secretary of State. Lord Cur- zon's new policy, it is claimed, will restore to the regular any a large number of troops hitherto quartered at fortified posts in the tribal country, and will, le is hoped, result in an an nual saving of many lakhs of rupees to the Exchequer. The enlistment of tribes in defence of their own country by enrolling them in local militia corps, under British officers, according to the requirements of the locality is proposed, while movable columns and camps, connected with the military bases in India by light rail- ways, will suppert the positions where neces- sary.

The German Hanœuvres. The German army manoeuvres this year are to be held on an exceptionally big scale. They are to be carried out by three Army Corps→ the 13th (Würtemberg), 14th (Baden), and 15th (Alsace). These three corps will be separately reviewed by the Emperor on Sept. 4, 7, and 8, respectively. They then engage in combined Kriegspiel-somewhere near Strassburg, the entire operating force comprising ninety-five battalions, ninety squadrons (including two independent cavalry divisons), and seventy batteries, or over 400 gins. It will be noticed that only half the garrison of Reichsland is to be mobilised for these manoeuvres, the 16th Corps (Lorraine) being required during their duration to maintain "dle Wacht am Rhein."

The Sirdar's Greeting. The Sirdar's first words to Mr. Neufeld, at Omdurman, are very characteristic of the man and the race. Well,” said the Sirdar, “are you all right?". Not a very emotional form of address to the man who had for twelve years been the Khalifa's prisoner. According to all the rules of the game as played by some other nations, the two men ought to have fallen on each other's necks. However, the speech reported above was, for the Sirdar, quite long and friendly. He might have said, Mr. Neufeld, I presume;" or "the Sirdar might have presented his compliments; or again, he might have said nothing. The actual speech was not gushing, we admit, but, at any rate, it was cool, cheery, and to the point-like the man from whom it proceeded.

When the tall cartridges were fired the Trawler was over sixty yards off. The jury found a verdict of "Accidental death, and, while expressing sympathy with the relatives of the deceased, exonerated the officers of the Zeda from all blame.

Admiral Deway. Admiral Dewey's flagship, the Olympla, arrived at Naples on 5th us. The vessel was saluted by the Italian artilleries, and the gallant officer was received cordially by the population. Soon after his arrival he received a telegram from the Italian Minister of Marine, "saluting the winner of the Battle of Cavite."

The warni receptlon given to Admiral Dewey in Italy is regarded with mixed feeling by the Italian Government, which does not wish The Spanish Ambassador at Rome protested against the toasts proposed by General Bog- Holo, Admiral Gonzales, and the Prefect of Naples during the receiption given to Admiral at Naples, in which the American victories over-pain were the American sequence of the Ambassador's protest the Government requested General Bogliole, Admiral Gonzales, and the Prefect to furnish explanations, which the Ambassador has ac- cepted as satisfactory.

French Troubles in China,

PARIS, August 8th.

L

The Politique Coloniale states that the events which have occurred at Mong-se are very serious. The Chinese miners have torn up à French Flag, and have pillaged the French Con sular office. M. Doumer, the Governor-General, has massed two thousand European soldiers and four Batteries ef Artillery in the neigh- bourhood of Lankai for the purpose of occupy ing Mong-tse.

In consequence of the attacks made at Kwang-Chatingainst the French representative, one thousand two hundred men have been landed in order to castic respect for French rights. M. Doumer is said to intend to resign if the Government instructions do not tend to.

Now the French colonies are expensive. They cost the patient Frenchman £3,350,000 a year, and they buy less than £15,000,000 of goods from him.

Money has been poured out like water in French Western Africa. Madagascar cost £4,000,000 to conquer, and now £630,000 a year to keep. The fourteen families of settlers in Tonkin canse £1,000,000 a year to be spent on that colony.

Since 1882 Italy has spent £14,000,000 in colonisation for absolutely nothing. Even now the barren strips of land on the Red Sea littoral cost £710,000 a year. Towards the expenses of the Congo State, Belgium pays £60,000 a year, and that unfortunate enterprise is rapidly getting into debt.

To repeat the opening question: Do colonies pay? Yes; if you get the right men to found and manage them. But there is only one man who knows how to colonies and can make colonies pay. His name is John Bull and sons-branches everywhere.

A UNIQUE LIFE-BUOY.

DESIGNED BY REAR-ADMIRAL HICHBORN,

The Franklin life-buoy, a unique invention of Rear-Admiral Hichhorn, is now in use, not only on all vessels of the United States navy, but also to a great extent on the vessels of all considerable naval Powers. Like all other useful inventions, it is simple in principle, being a hollow air-tight, metallic ring, provided with two automatic torches which make it possible to locate the buoy at dight. The torch staffs are so pivoted to the ring that they will lie in the same plane and stow neatly against the side of the ship when the buoy is THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.

When the buoy is dropped, the seals of these cham- hers are broken automatically, and admission of water permitted, and the gases of combustion ascend and produce a large flare at the top, the combustion being so regulated that there is na danger of over-heating. The flotation of the buoy is sufficient to sustain three men, the central space accommodating one in a sitting position, supported by a chain which crosses the opening. Generally two of these buoys are hung near the stern, where they can be most easily dropped entirely clean.
