A CHECK TO Russia.

Capital complains that very little attention seems to have been drawn to the, projected line of railway between Alexandria and Shang ha. If however, anyone will take the trouble to look at the map, he will see that if this schemic is carried through, a great blow will be deal to Russia's commercial aggression in the East. Such a line would have an enormous effect upon British trade with China, and would do much to counteract the influence of the Trans-Siberian Railway,

The War Office on the 30th ult issued the coppy.

of a letter from Lord Kitchener to Gen. Prinsloo, in which the former said: "I beg to express my appreciation of the manner in which some of my wounded and prisoners have been treated by you, which though not more than was to be expected from the, burghers in the field, is a marked contrast to the manner in which our men have been dealt with by burghers who have become demoralised by the' protracted nature of this deplorable war,"

With this letter Lord-Kitchener enclosed

affidavits "of a new examples of the conduct of

burghers in guerrilla warfare. These are also published by the War Office, and are as follows:

For example, it is a singular coincidence that should be heralded by the insurance of their the projected return of the Court to Peking

Another famous tot including a host of those lesser mandarins in is his remark on the result of the trial of O'Shea favour of increased trade facilities with Western v. O'Shea and Parnell, namely.

The jury, without quitting the box, found against the priest,

GIGANTIC ORDER FOR WATCHES.

Tivo million watches to be delivered in London from America within the next 12 months by a single firm, make the largest order which has ever been taken at one time in that department of trade, says the Liverhool Daily Post, and marks a new invasion from the other side of the Atlantic. These watches are sold at a very cheap price, and the order has been taken over by the strongest competi- tion of Switzerland and Germany. These two million watch s will weigh altogether 600 tons, and when packed will occupy a space of 15,000 cubic feet, while if placed side by side so that the rims touch they would make a line of over six miles in length,
