The Mansion House Famine Fund

LONDON, March 3rd. The following contributions are announced to the Mansion House Famine Fund: The Mer cers' Company, The Grocers' Company, Messrs. Barclay & Co and Messrs. Morgan & Co., 500 each; Messrs. Henry S. King & Co, Messrs. Smith, Payne, Smith, Mesurs. Coleman & Co. of Norwich, Lloyd's Bank Mr. William Whitaker, Lord Mountstephen, Messrs. W.

Europe's Attitude,

An authentic rumour is abroad that General Kuropatkin's scheme for the seizing of Herat, was checked, when he reported everything ready, by the Czar rebaking him and declining to profit by another country's embarrassment. This, coupled with the Austrian Emperor's remark that the rag-tag of Europe sided with the Boers, has helped to reverse Continental opinion. The French Press is still goading Germany to intervene; while the German Press is occupied with re-considering our tactics.

Russia and Afghanistan.

March 4th. It is declared at St. Petersburg that Russia "Contemplates no aggressive action, and does not dream of profiting by the South African entanglement, the reinforcements sent to Kushk and Askaluul being merely precautions in view of a possible disturbance ifthe Ameer dies.

The Indian Famine.

March 6th. The Earl of Onslow, speaking in the House of Lords, said the Government highly appreciat ed the Famine Commission's recommendations. The present fanine was unparalleled in that it had followed the previous lumines so closely. The authorities were obliged to utilise the ma terial immediately available. Railways were a mixed blessing, for they assimilated prices throughout India,

Russian Railways.

The Russian Railways Department is pra- jecting a line either a Orenburg Toshken or inare probably via Saraton-Charjui, with a tem- porary terminus on the left bink of the Amu Daria.

The Kolnische Zeitung sanounces the Persian Railways Company as being established in St. Petersburg, Russia leasing one of the Persian ports on similar rms to those of the Port Arthur base.

Plague at Cape Town.

March 7th.

A Times telegram from Cape Town says that a case of plague has been discovered on board

A transport from Rosario.

Plague at Calcutta.

·CALCUTTA, March 7th.

There were 3,363 deaths from plague all over India during the week ending 3rd March, against 3,184 in the week preceding. The Calcutta death rate bas jumped up from 261 to 41 in the same parfod, "although there was a diminution in the plague mortality in Bengal.

The Indian Femine, Telegrams have been received by the Viceroy from several colonies on the subject of the Famine Fund.. The Mayors of Melbourne and Brisbane have opened subscription lists. Mauri tius says she will gladly help. The Governor of Ceylon promises asstistance, while the Gover- nor of Queensland announces that a proposal is on foot that the Australian Colonies should contribute from their treasuries.

LONDON, March 8th. The Famine Fund has reached twenty-four lakhs. There has been a steady rise in the numbers un relief works. Bombay and Scinde reporting an increase of 65,000 persons, Ajmere and Mervara 40,000, and the Punjab and Rajputana States 25,000. The total number now in receipt of assistance is well over four and a half millions.

The Ameer.

March 9th.

Retter has received the following account of an interview that took place between the Ameer Abdul Rahman and Mr. Frank. Martin, at Cabul, at the end of January last. His High ness, in the course of conversation, strongly affirmed his loyalty to Great Britain, and said A Russian war with Afghanistan would mean a general rising of prading long

"Mussulmon," he said, "hate Russia, who could not successfully fight Afghanistan and India. Afghans would prefer death to the Russian yoke, and were always ready to fight for England in Afghanistan or India."

Asia.

Adverting to the letter received from the Indian Government, deprecating His Highness, buying large quantities of war material, be resented the suspicion thereby implied.

ENGLAND'S DEAD.

The following fine poem by Mrs. Hemans which is not very well known, in conjunction with the extract from the Tinies which precedes it, cannot fail to interest a large number of our readers:

"With the co-operation of the. Swedish Mission at Dundee, Major Daly neatly enclosed a piece of ground near the Swedish Church, where rest fifteen British soldiers, and some Boers, who succumbed to injuries received in the Battle of Dundes. Wooden crosses and stone pillars mark the graves.

"The grave of General Symons in the English Church grounds is marked by a wooden. cross."-The Times, 5th January, 190.

ENGLAND'S NEAD.

Son of the Ocean Isle 1

Where sleep your mighty Dead? Show me what high and stately pile.

is reared p'er Glory's bed.

Go, stranger I track the deep-

Free, free the white sail spread! Wave may not foam, nor wild wind sweep.

Where rest not England's Dead.

On Egypt's burning plains,

By the pyramid o'er swayed, With fearful power the noonday reigns, And the palm tree yields no shade.

But let the angry sun

From heaven look fiercely rest, Unfelt by those whose task is done! There slumber Eugland's Dead. The hurricana bath might

Along the Indian shore, And far by Ganges' banks at night

Is heard the tiger's roar ;-

But let the sound roll on 1

It hath no tone of dread

For those that from their tails have gone,

There slumber England's Dead.

Loud rush the torrent floods

The Western wilds among And free, in green Columbia's woods,

The hunter's bow is strung- But let the floods rush on !

i

Let the arrow's flight be sped! Why should they reck whose task is done?

There slumber England's Dead.

On the frozen deeps'repose,

"Tis a dark and dreadful hour, When round the ship the icefieliis close,

And the northern night-clouds lower- But let the ice drift on!

Let the cold-blue desert sprendi Their course with mast and flag is done,--

Even there sleep England's Dead. The warlike of the isles,"

The men of field and wave! Are not the rocks their funeral piles.

The sens and shores their grave?

Go, stranger I track the deep-

Free, free the white sail spred ! Wave may not foam, nor wild wind sweep,

Where rest not England's Dead.
